    4:53 a dash 9 still owned by BNSF, another that is now owned by NS, an NS GEVO, NS AC44C6M, and BNSF SD70ACe. The hopper cars are also NS ones
    6:02 An entire train of new UCRY white autoracks. These can have three decks for carrying low-height vehicles like sports cars, or two decks for carrying trucks and vans.

    11:08 NS 1111 leading

      @@maynardcarmer3148 I'm sorry to hear that. After that one fiasco, my family avoided other Easter egg hunts because we had "been there, done that." As an adult, I went to a church with Easter egg hunts, but they were only for kids age 4 and younger and the eggs were plastic and had inserted items instead of being colored and dyed boiled eggs.

    Loved seeing the kids racing the train in Elkhart right at the start--future railfans I'll bet. Looked up the Spirit of Ravenna and found out what a great partnership it represents; now I'll look for that engine just the way I look for the Spirit of the Armed Forces (thanks for that catch too). The Easter egg hunt was a hoot, but the music was what really made it. Thanks for another wonderful video!

    Question...why is there so much foot traffic across the tracks on the Flagstaff AZ live stream view?
    Sometimes there will be groups of 10 or more people crossing at one time.
    I was wondering if this was a convenient crossing for college kids going from bar to bar? It just caught my attention a couple weeks ago seeing very large groups of people going back and forth at this location.
    Thanks for any information!!
