Dan you are ‘ on the money ‘ with soaring the rails. Love em.
Great I'm glad you think so!
I get a kick out of the Evergreen Seadlings that are growing 😊
Like 👍🏽 one my friend 🤝🏽
The Winter Scene is Beautiful and Fantastic 😊
Thanks!!
This is stunning! I love these episodes! Oregon is such beautiful state and drone shots really showcase it. Great work as usual!
Thanks so much glad you enjoyed! Much of this will take place in Oregon so you're in luck!
The Rail Road.
Well, it sure does quelsh alot of thoughts on what it's like to travel the silver ribbon backroads of the railroading community.
Thank you, Dan for the flying spirited vacation into the backwoods engineer getaway.
Happy Trails.....All !!!
Thanks Ron!
Cool, that was a very unique tour! I sure liked that, music and all, very nicely done, Thanks! (Dave).
Thank you Dave! Yes I think the music will always be softer in these videos.
@@TheRailfanDan Your welcome and yes agree.
Wonderful Great Video Sir ❤❤😍😍
Beautiful video. What an amazing view. I really like this series so far. Thanks!
Thank you glad you enjoy!
Love this one too Dan. The best always
Thank you Brian! Working on Episode 3 now.
Beautiful, Thanks for posting.
This video left me hungry for more. This masterful work gives us a very unique view of the rails, although I suspect others will follow Dan in these awesome vistas.
Well that's good! Thanks Bill.
Another Spectacular Video!!
Very nice, Dan, thank you! Proof that trains aren't needed to make great rail videos.
Thanks a lot Lou I'm glad you approve! 😁
Great trip through the Cascades.
Cool flying Dan, what a beautiful region. Those are propane tankers. My guess is they are used as a storage and supply depot for the many switch heaters up and down the line.
Thanks a lot and yes you've got it right. The propane tanks are to heat the switches. I failed to mention something about that.
Smooooooth drone pilotage-we know it’s not the headend of a train because the cab would be bouncing all over.😂
Haha good point Bill!
Nice work. Thank you!
Great job, Dan. You're making me miss the Coast Starlight from all the way up here in New England.
I feel fortunate to live so close! "My Backyard" I like to say.
Amazing video, beautiful area to visit. Road on Amtrack a few years ago from Klamath falls to Eugene and back. Great train ride to see this beautiful scenery.
Thank you Keith! Yes it is a wonderful ride.
Well done.
I enjoyed riding the rails in this video, Dan! It was nice watching the scenery go by. The Maintenance of Way snowplow with the painting on the plow adds some hilarity to what a tedious job. As I sit at my computer watching the drone fly along the rails, I keep wondering "Where is Dan controlling the hiding as he controls the drone?" I presume the car that appears at 11:00 is where you stopped to control the drone for a distance before and after this road crossing.
Thanks Thomas glad you enjoyed! I know how funny to spend money on painting that snowplow like that. Yes you did catch my blue Jeep at 11 minutes! It is noticeable in a couple of other locations as well but not as obvious as that spot.
This was “WOW” :-)
Great job!! I feel like you asked for feedback, choose what worked for you/you wanted to do, and blended that all together into an amazing video (experience).
Thank you for sharing your work/efforts!!
Thank you and thank you for noticing! Fortunately much of the feedback was already things I was going to change up. I think we are all on the same mindset of how it should be which is great!
Excellent work. Like a cab ride. Interesting how you can cover so much distance with the drone flying so low.
Thanks so much! I always try to position myself in the best possible locations to make the most of flights.
Wow this is really good. I love snowy landscapes and we can see the ground better from this perspective. This is a beautiful line and I'm sure the crews really like it. Tall trees on both sides of the track and the views are spectacular too. Are the switches heated in this area? There's no snow between the rails where the switches are. And the road crossings are clean and dry too. This was a great idea Dan, I hope the series will be popular. I'm definitely looking forward to the next episode. Thank you for the relaxing ride.
Thank you Z! Yes I failed to mention those propane thanks along the way are to keep the switches heated to prevent ice buildup. They do the job well. So far it is popular enough I will keep doing it. Not nearly the views of the main videos but they're easy and quick enough to produce that I can fit in a little time to do them.
I thought you did a great job...A good mix of hovering over the rails...the birds eye view, and other points of interest...you said something at the end of the video about it being a little long...I thought it wasn't long enough and look forward to episode 3!!
Thanks so much! Well I just meant this one will be exceptionally longer than most I think. I can't say for sure yet but I think on average they will be between 5 and 10 minutes each. They're supposed to be really fast and easy to edit. That's the only way I can justify doing them so I still spend 95% of my effort on the main videos.
A beautiful day for drone flying and photography. The "Flying Tigers shark's mouth" makes that snowplow more effective. The forest seems endless from trackside viewing. Is this a second growth forest? I think this area (old growth) was probably harvested back in the lumber boom era of the 1930's. I once studied this area for a model railroad and have read a few books about the SP and the lumber boom their rail connection stimulated. There were many mills around Klamath Falls and Klamath Lake area back then.
The forest does seem endless even when you're out in it! It is quite a stretch of railroad through thick trees for sure. It sounds like you know more about that then I do. I don't have any knowledge of that unfortunately. I am betting you're right though. Yes many railroads long gone now.
Okay we have to get together sometime. I would love to give you some location tips and what to look for along the right-of-way as you push more of these videos out! I think that viewers would love to learn more about specific landmarks and why they're there, and I'm really understanding of why they're there (as you know). I'll find a way to reach out to you and we can possibly talk in the future. This video was AWESOME!!!
Thank you for your enthusiasm Mike! It all sounds great to add more detailed information to these but to be honest these are supposed to be pretty simple so that I can edit and produce them much quicker than my normal videos. The only reason I considered doing these is because they're so much easier and quicker to make so they need to stay simple in order for me to fit them in for production between my regular videos. You've got great ideas though! It could definitely be made more than it is. If I wasn't already so slammed with everything that I'm doing in life then it might be possible but I already spend every waking moment doing this hobby when I'm not at my day job or spending time with my wife.
Does this Date Back to the 1800's😊
This line was completed in 1926. Relatively newer than most actually.
