    Fantastic choice of music for this rail drone video! Almost meditative, seriously. Thanks for putting this up.

    After the Rock shut down, I wandered around in that Yard.
    There were a lot of old GE units that still seemed to have some life left in them.
    The Paint appears to look a bit different today.....

    Could you imagine someone putting this in their model railroad?

    So glad much of it lives on strong as a steam, vintage rebuild facility.

    The Drone skipped showing the old Roundhouse area at around 4:15 of the video.
    That seems to have at one time been a big part of the Business as the Rock still ran Steam.

    I'd like to see what that yard looked like in the hay day of railroads.

    Ben- Next time you fly over try to fly lower and show the sides of locomotives so we can see what road they're off, and not simply the tops. Thanks.

    if you took all these locomotives and turned them into portable generators you could power new york city boston and shit chicago at the same time

    My backyard literally,I lived in carbon cliff,il,worked at anchor do-it center, my step mother said she was going to work one morning and opened her car door and someone had been in her car because it was filled with cigar smoke. She said it had to be a hobo out of the rail yard. Not far away is a place that rebuilds locomotives just a oldtin building nice to see something from home,thanks
