    Very nice fiddlin' in Cordele, and the wind-farm blades in Burlington at night looked very cool. But why didn't the guy in Waycross get a Darwin award? He certainly pulled a stunt as dumb as many I've see on here...Loved the cats and those quick bird cameos that showed up in a couple of places. A really nice one--thank you for putting it out on Easter and I hope it was happy for you folks!

    I was on that Amtrak train. We were about 20 tunnels into the tunnel district when we stopped and they told us about the rock slide and that we would have to back alllllllll the way back to the denver station.

I also loved seeing the clean autoracks (what a concept), and the overpowered Boeing fuselage train with the Superliner at the end. Saw that one live on the Skykomish camera.

      ​@kennethlacewell1517 For a few reasons, probably.
      1. The passing track is long and would have taken while, especially if they were just trying to get back to Denver.
      2. Once they got back they wouldn't have to take extra time to turn on the wye to back into the station because they were already backwards.

Plus there may have not been a switch to get the engines to a siding at either end for miles.
