    Great video, that old bridge looks like it could use a lick of paint.

    Like a great beast, the lengthy monstrosity made from the result of man's ingenuity emerges from the haze like a predator encroaching upon its prey. Silently she crosses the expanse over the remnants of the river in which once upon a time even I could not see the sandy bottoms sticking out like scars in the running water. Silence becomes thunderous as she completes the crossing displaying the colorful array of containers with bright orange leading the way. The gray is brought to life for a few moments with a combination of colors and shapes snaking across the cold landscape. And just when you think that the train is completing its passing, you hear the words of a once famous pitchman: "BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!" as you soon realize that this train is an absolute beast. Anyone who is discerning coming out to this bridge to railfan needs to watch this video as this should be the standard of what a Sibley showcasing should look like! Bravo my good sir! Amazing shots and angles with this one! Makes me want to come back and visit again!

    Great drone footage! As a side note, look at the condition of that bridge! We are letting our infrastructure rot. What a shame.

    Great flying! Thanks for not doing Loop-dee-Loops.πŸ˜‰ It's going to take an Army to Prep & Paint the Truss & Trestle sections. Wonder why the RR bunched up the mid-train helpers. I would think 2 mid-train units & two pusher units but maybe the route doesn't have steep grades on the way the LA. Anyway, Thanks!
