The shift change at Green River WY was pretty cool. And thanks for all the Utah scenes, I wish we had more traffic through the Gilluly Loops and through the Green River Utah area.
I get carried away with the going's on forgetting to compliment the videographer, but that in itself might be the best compliment. Great footage excellent framing of incredible scenery and amazing trains.
The American West is filled with so many towns that wouldn't exist but for the railroads. Today you pass through many of them and see these buildings that are too large to sit in a very small town. At one time they were domiciles for workers who serviced the tracks, engineers and conductors, Fred Harvey stops with hotel rooms for visitors planning on exploring the wide open spaces to meet real "Injums" buying blankets and silver jewelry. Kingman, AZ Flagstaff, AZ, Green River WY and Green River Utah are some of those towns, maybe the best example still standing, I've seen, is Winslow, AZ with large structures built by the ATSF. Cheyanne, WY and Ogden, UT were railroad towns that grew other roots surviving as medium sized cities.
Hi, Zak, why not take the "Empire builder" once, between Michigan and Pacific coast. You would come back with a nice vidéo ? It's my only experience of US railways, and I do not regret it. It was a fantastic experience. Added after viewing it all : it's an amazing job ! Congrats. In less than two hours i just got a good trip through half of your country. It's a very nice view, Thanks for sharing
Utah is a pretty amazing state, snow covered alpine peaks, the Wasatch range of the Rocky's, canyons and buttes, deserts, and crystal mountain streams. The place must have been a challenge for all the railroads, early on. I saw some old footage of a place called Soldier Summit, that had an amazing array of helper locomotives, coal trains even the California Zephyr waiting to be assisted up the long drive thru the pass. It seemed like a sizable operation so far away from populations. I wonder if they had domiciles for the workers or just a long commute. I didn't really see any significant highways they could have driven to work. I guess that's just the nature of a railroad, most of your work takes place where people are scarce.

Awesome video! Those were some nice places in terms of geography
You're in my territory now! Nice job!
Nice video man! Great job!
Nice Video
love red leaves on trees at the 16min mark
referencing frame 14:24 I was wondering if that spill is somewhat common occurrence?
The cars there are dumping ballast for the mainline. They're Difco air side dumpcars that are designed to dump ballast like that for MOW work.
