Thanks Wilz. Only thing I'd like more; longer vids. Entire runs if you've got em. Never tiring. Great stuff.

[@vidwilzvids9587]

Thank You for your kind comments. I'm glad you enjoy them.

[@jefftoft5568]

Love the in cab shots! Looks like you had a little excitement. Great video!

[@vidwilzvids9587]

Thanks. Had about a dozen or so encounters with vehicles over the years. Fortunately none with (human)casualties. Not my favorite kind of excitement.

[@jefftoft5568]

I hear you! Nobody wants to be a witness to that or be involved in it yourself.

Weird how the first few times I went this way I had the same conversation with the conductor I was training with about RV007. I was always confused what I would put in my log if we had anything but a clear. Great video.

[@vidwilzvids9587]

Shellmound was a little confusing the first few times. Thanks for the comment.

[@tomharris8263]

Another informative and entertaining video. Thankyou my friend.

[@vidwilzvids9587]

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I appreciate your kind comments.

[@lydmik]

great video! i had bittersweet memories watching it as i used to take the Capitol Corridor to Fremont to visit my sister so i could very well have been on any of those trains...sadly, she passed away last year & i no longer live in CA...also, i remember when there was a road crossing at Stege Ave

[@vidwilzvids9587]

Thanks for the comments. A lot has changed in that area.

[@coxsj]

Good stuff, thx for sharing!

[@vidwilzvids9587]

You're very welcome. Thanks for the comment.

[@davecruzen9352]

Great video. My old stomping grounds in the East Bay.

[@vidwilzvids9587]

Did you notice the SP cantenary uprights along the main near the UP East yard? Thanks again.

[@coxsj]

Great! thanks for sharing!!

[@vidwilzvids9587]

Thanks for the comments.

[@vidwilzvids9587]

What do you think, Charlie?

[@coppercruz3605]

I really enjoy the BNSF Warm Springs local cab ride videos, do you have more footage before it retired?

[@vidwilzvids9587]

I'm afraid thats about it for the BNSF on UP footage. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Have a Happy Holidays.

[@coppercruz3605]

I understand and you have a Happy Holidays as well:)

[@itsjusttyler5315]

How often do you upload?

[@trainzguy2472]

What kind of horn does the locomotive have at 7:35? I hear the same kind all the time near my house, but I can't figure out what type.

[@vidwilzvids9587]

I think that locomotive was a rebuild of a GP39 (notice the handbrake housing). So it may have been an off-the-shelf from the rebuilder. Maybe electronic. I have negligible interest in horns and bells. Too many years sitting too close to them. Thanks for the comment.

[@FullertonRailproductionsTM]

By, any chance do you have old recording of the LA Habra local?

[@vidwilzvids9587]

Sorry. The job that I had at the time conflicted with the schedules of those trains.

[@stuartmcpherran5115]

When are you gonna be uploading more roller coaster videos?

[@vidwilzvids9587]

Hang in there; I have a few more that I'll post after I get my capture rig working right.

[@stuartmcpherran5115]

vidwilzvids Ok.

[@thebeaz1]

Is there a reason why there is no narration?

[@vidwilzvids9587]

Most of my viewers don't need it and don't want it.

[@mikehawk2003]

Well that SW8 at the beginning is now scrapped

[@vidwilzvids9587]

The old 567's are dropping like flies. Thanks for the comment.
