I'm a steam guy (born in Toledo, Ohio in 1940) who observed and photographed steam locomotives when they were in regular service, so I am only very mildly interested in the contemporary railroad scene, with its soul-less diesels and its sterile freight and passenger cars. But I have been enchanted by your work, even when the motive power growls! Please carry on with your outstanding work!
I've heard that watching a tank full of tropical fish can help lower high blood pressure. This is much better! Excellent piloting of the drone. Excellent scenery and choice of music. Just super work. Thank you!
After watching this one and a few others you have done I had to subscribe. I have never seen such fantastic drone work with superb editing and music. The one on the Feather River Canyon was mesmerizing. You sir are a master and I only can hope to some day be this good with my drone. Please keep doing this kind of fantastic work because this is what drones were meant for.
UP's best through an awesome route...don't know how you managed to stay ahead of it through the mountains. I can't remember a railfan video better than this.
Can't believe I haven't seen this until now. Amazing work, Dan. I have no idea how you outraced the train between the shooting locations, but your flights were incredible and the light and scenery are pure gold. I sure wish I'd gotten to see this in person!
That's one hell of a railroad the Southern Pacific punched through the Cascade Range of Oregon. The Southern Pacific was one of the best mountain railroads in the world.
Dan, another fantastic video!! If you ever decide to do one along the Clark Fork West of Missoula I'd really like to meet up with you to see it in action. Also Mullan Pass would be cool.
At the 5:25 mark there’s a trail that leads around the side of the tunnel to the right....if you follow that trail, it’ll lead you to an access porthole that goes into the heart of the tunnel itself. It’s super eerie, but way cool! Btw, do NOT go around on that trail alone....there’s a lot of risks around the backside of that tunnel, including wildlife! (Don’t ask me how I found that out....it’s a long story lol)
Hi Im a local avid history buff and was working on some research for the old station/post offices of: Cruzatte, Frazier, Abernathy, Wicopee, Fields, and others in the area. If you have any information it would me the world to me! Thanks!
Spectacular video in my home state of Oregon!!! Just wondering which drone you were using on the video, as much of it appears to be flying backwards while the camera was facing forward, or it was shot from the Phantom or Inspire, which both allow you to film 360 degrees, I believe.
This was with the Phantom 4 Pro which is the same as the Mavic drones. Only one camera facing front. The Inspire drones are the only one's out of those that can rotate the camera independently of the drone.
@@TheRailfanDan Wow... spectacular flying skills. The idea of flying it without forward facing cameras would scare me to death. I guess the trick is flying above all known obstacles, while also relying on sensors to keep you out of trouble. Luckily, my newest addition is the 2s, which has much improved sensor capability in all directions except down. Hopefully the next generation of Phantoms will include the capability to shoot 360 degrees. Assuming they stick with the Phantom line. Which I hear is a fifty fifty preposition at the moment.
@@TheRailfanDan Funny... with the camera mounted below the Phantom, it really should be able to shoot 360 degrees. Hoping the Phantom 2 will have a real gimble, with 360 degree capability with active track. Time will tell. I'm guessing next release will be the Mavic 3. But who knows with DJI. Time will tell.
Dan, Awsome videos! That active track is great. Just wondering how at 45 mph it gets around the mountain tunnel and is waiting on the other side. While the train is most likely going that same speed or more. You know the engineer? I don't fly, but if I did, I'd wish I'd have your opportunities. Thank you, Very much for all you do.
Those were actually two different locations I flew from. I shot one and then drove to the other and flew a different time. They stopped for about 20 minutes at a tunnel so I had time to get ahead again.
Hi Dan, I was wondering how do you keep up with the trians on these awesome videos. I've chased trains around and they don't wait for you to catch up with them. Would you share your plan with a fellow railfan? George
@@TheRailfanDan Changing locations to do multiple shots. Some guys have more than one camera and they leap frog locations to stay up with the train. It doesn't look like you might do that for your videos.
@@georgebono8655 Oh just knowing the territory ahead of time to know what locations I can get ahead of the train or not. It's easy here on Pengra Pass. On the mountain grade alone you can see one train in 3 or more locations pretty easily because of the lay of the land and the slower speed they go.

This one remains my favorite. The very best train video ever made in my opinion.
Great capture my dear friends I like this video 👍👌✌️
Images fabuleuses, paysages fantastiques et nature préservée, mille mercis pour ce partage ! 😀
Fantastic video Dan. Beautiful scenery. Cheers
Incredible!! UP needs to sponsor you Dan! You deserve it for this level of professionalism

Geez Dan. You are the best drone pilot of any genre.

Another wonderful video -- one of your best. Thanks for creating and posting it. I enjoyed it very much.
Thanks Bill!

Another great job Dan! I never get bored watching your videos. Such beautiful country too!
Thanks a lot Mike! I do have it pretty good here in Oregon with the scenery.
Thanks for another great video. I'm sure my son will really enjoy watching it too.
Railfan Dan I know this area well, so I am in awe of how you stayed ahead of this special. You are a artist with your drone! This is a great video!
Awesome...again...Thank you for sharing your amazing talent...
Beaytiful train and scenery!
Great to see UP 1943 out and about!
Beautiful just Beautiful footage and music. Thanks
This music is just so beautiful and calm and makes me fell relaxed 😌
awesome video thanks for sharing
Beautiful scenery
Spectacular footage and the day was perfect.
Mike
Again, Dan, you make us all dream of being out on those trains. You make the greatest videos!
Always a pleasure Dwight!
That's one hell of a railroad the Southern Pacific punched through the Cascade Range of Oregon. The Southern Pacific was one of the best mountain railroads in the world.
Not to mention Tehachapi Pass and Donner Pass, plus other summits in California and Oregon the SP had to conquer.
Dan, another fantastic video!!
If you ever decide to do one along the Clark Fork West of Missoula I'd really like to meet up with you to see it in action. Also Mullan Pass would be cool.
Wow, what a wonderful video. Great job!!
So beautiful it's scary!
Yes another awesome video Dan !
Union Pacific's Cascade Sub passes through arguably the most rugged parts of Oregon between Cruzatte and Fields
Amazing Video. 🇮🇳
Amazing footage, thanks for sharing.
Absolutely fantastic !!

I do know about that trail. Haven't hiked it yet but have wanted to. My buddy has used that to get between tunnel 7 and 8 for photos.
Just had to say, Again this video is Awesome!!! 🤘🤙👌👍#☝

Is the white snow or sand ? Good video crisp pictures
AAA Snow. This is Oregon, and still have snow on the ground at that elevation at this time of the year.

Would you share your plan with a fellow railfan? George
Do you mean physically getting ahead of the train again so you can fly at multiple locations or actually keeping pace with the train while flying?
