Hi, I'm Lance, from Marietta, GA.
Welcome to my channel!
Here, I share my love of trains through a variety of videos, including footage from railroad and aviation museums, air shows, aquariums, parks, trails, and quirky roadside attractions in small towns. You’ll also find behind-the-scenes clips from my work in the film industry whenever I can include them. As an N scale model railroader, I occasionally post updates on my W&A Sub. prototype layout project.
Before my film and TV career, I worked as a drum and bass tech for bands. Check out the Rock 'n' Roll playlist for those videos.
My passion for trains started with model railroading and expanded into photography and video production, using multi-camera setups and drone footage to capture the magic.

i know a fact if you go to tate elementry theres a railroad track and theres a place where trains park and i see trains the place the location is on google maps and it said in Tate Georgia how do i know this? well i pass that railroad track every school day on a bus and sometimes trains switch tracks there to park or something!
you could also possibly catch some of the GNRR trains
Thanks for watching!!
I just uploaded 2024 GNRR.
To date, I've seen a total of 11 heritage units between the two railroads - five CSX (B&O 1827, L&N 1850, WM 1852, Monon 1897, and SCL 1967) and six NS (VGN 1069, CNJ 1071, DL&W 1074, SOU 8099, NKP 8100, and INT 8105). I've also seen CSX 1776 'Spirit of our Armed Forces' and CSX 3194 'Spirit of our Law Enforcement', but not CSX 911 'Spirit of our First Responders'.
Wow, thanks for sharing, you'll be adding to that list before long I'm sure. Thanks for watching an commenting!!

Junta here! (actually im in Atco but close enough) Spectacular video!! One of if not the best I've seen! Thanks for the work you obviously put into it and thanks for sharing!
Thank you!! Copy Atco. Thanks!! Each one has it's on story and life of it's own. The location, the train, the time I've got to set up or no time. Whether or not I know one's coming. Several factors at play. Part of what makes it fun. I knew this one was coming so I got ahead of him by five minutes and set up (two tripods and hit record and power up the drone) without rushing and by that time. He was rounding the corner less than two minutes later and the bells went off. I like it when it's like that. Mostly I ride some direction and check a signal. Green I set up. Red I move on. Checking the FB groups to see if anythings near me. Thanks for watching!!
286
Hey thanks! I hardly ever know train numbers on this line and I really never hear them on the radio over here. Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching!!
No problem
What operation was taking place there with that red signal?
The dispatcher told them to pull up to the signal, then continue. I couldn't make out the reason other than the dispatcher couldn't change it because of something, I believe due to MOW work that took place earlier perhaps. Not sure. Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching!!
28:20 Ladies And Germs, We Have Our Very Own Larry-John Cromer Sighting!!! You know it is going to be a great day when Laughing Larry Is Here!!!

Ill have to check them out!!@LancesLens
Have you ever got complaints about flying your drone? 👍🏻
No sir not while catching trains. I try not to disrupt, break rule or laws. I am Part 107 licensed but don't make any revenue from drones at this time. Renewal soon. I looked up 'flying over rail yards" after catching that HU in Manchester last week, I'm gonna lay off flying deep into and over rail yards, just near the ends and perimeter. I try not to fly where if I hit a limb or wire I can get to the drone without trespassing but I try not to crash of course. I do inadvertently end up sometimes taking a chance and risk loosing the drone and I'm trying not to so that so much. The Mini 3 won't let me take off in some places like near a small airport etc. without a pre loaded authorization license. The only two times I've been talked to by police was un related to trains. 1 one over Tyler Perry Studios taking a still photo and the private security came over across the street and asked me not too. I was landing anyway and he was cool. 2. South Atl. they are building a new police training facility and it's near NS tracks. I pulled up once to catch a train. Launched the drone and because they thought I was there to spy on the facility, five came over and once they new I was there for trains they said keep doing what you're doing. I gave them all decals for my page. I try to use good judgement and keep safety in mind. Good question. Thanks for watching!!
