Thanks! You put a lot of work into them…❤👏👏
WOW!! Thank you so much Joe that is extremely generous of you!! Your donation will go directly toward bringing more great content. Probably in the form of fuel. It takes a lot of fuel to drive around filming trains so much!
The Oregon Cascades and northern California have beautiful scenery, even more so when snow covered. I've ridden over this route a couple of times on the Coast Starlight. Your drone footage shows off the country much better than you can see from the train. Your views of Klamath Lake are especially beautiful. Imagine what the pioneers must have faced crossing through this area in wagons. One of my ancestors did and settled near Portland. I marvel how the Central Pacific built a railroad over Cascade summit. Those were very tough and determined men. Your video shows some of what they conquered and the difficulties railroaders still face running trains on these steep grades in winter. Well done. That must have been tough flying in that snow; it looked very cold.
Thank you Paul and I agree I have ridden this a number of times on the Starlight and you do miss out on a lot with the side view out of the train. I love flying in the Klamath Lake area. Quite a feat indeed to build this route through the mountain section. It was pretty cold a couple of those days but worth it in my mind!
Watching this video was a true joy!🤗 It beat going to the movies any day. So, thank you Dan.
Thank you so so much Lawrence! You are extremely generous and your donation will go directly to helping the channel in bringing more quality content!
@@TheRailfanDan Glad to help!😊
Rail On...Dan! Thank You!
Thanks Ron!
It shows that you put in a lot of effort. Thank you for the views. Have A Great Day.
I’m a sucker for trains and I can’t explain. About 50 years ago I was in my early teens and often did chores for others. A guy I worked for had a huge landscape project going on in his basement and I ended up helping create a landscape with cars trucks buses people and of course trains. So big thanks for this video
Hopefully they replaced that burnt out ditch light
Very cool!
Another stunning video. Pengra Pass never gets old. I keep thinking of that once in a lifetime shot of you and Mark waving at your drone. And yes, once again I marvel at what it must’ve taken to construct all of that. When you’re flying and it’s snowing it just looks magical., like being inside a snow globe.
Thank you as always for the beauty that you capture and share.
Thanks so much Rick it's always such a blast in the snow and I'm so glad I don't have to go far for it in the Winter time. Oh yes that is the killer shot of Mark and myself! It took 3 different attempts until we got it right. You're too kind Rick I'm humbled you think so highly of all my work. :)
Your Drone Flying skill are unbelievable. Flying backwards and rotating to keep the train in frame. Very impressive!. I fly a drone as well but not like that. It's Impressive that you fly such a long distance and keep everything in frame. Just Wow!
Well thank you Steve you are too kind! It has definitely taken some years to get better and better at smooth pan shots and such! I have a hard time even looking at any of my material from the first few years due to jerky movements and what not!
Thank you Dan for your continued effort to produce these highly enjoyable videos. My big issue now is when I am going to my "Happy Place" to escape our crazy world, you keep adding these production masterpieces to the channel and now I have to stress out picking the one I want to watch to chill!! 😁 Seriously, the music, drone work, geography choice, and professional talent makes your work stand out so far above other's efforts!!! Thank You!!
Haha well that doesn't sound like too bad of a problem to have eh? I'm humbled to hear you think so highly of it all. I will continue to strive to please!
Epic scenes Dan! Once again, you knock it out of the park!
Thanks so very much! You're too kind.
Thank you for another exciting video of trains in mountain scenery with the addition of snow and snowstorms, Dan! The drone footage near the beginning of the video in the snowstorm was fantastic! I enjoyed watching trains moving through the snow!
Thanks so much Thomas I'm glad you enjoyed! It's all well worth being out in the cold for!
Thanks
Another mesmerizing video! These are areas of Oregon I have yet to visit, and now I want to make many road trips to these beautiful areas! Spectacular views and interesting trains! So much hard work and dedication goes into these videos! Thank you for sharing it with all of us!
Thank you so much! That is probably the best bi product of the whole hobby. Visiting magnificent places I wouldn't see otherwise. It's quite special.
Railfanning Dan: Drone Master.
Ha! Thanks so much!
Love your shots. Train engineers be like 'We drone celebs now."
Haha!
7Idea Productions better up their game now. Great footage.
Well that is a high praise! He is actually a good friend and I have so much respect for him! Several of us creators regard him very highly.
Wow, great snow scenes and bravery on you're part, driving in those white-out conditions are hazardous.
Thanks a lot! Yeah I guess there is a bit of risk in that but it's worth it and I really don't take those conditions lightly when I'm driving.
Wow!😲 Epic Scenes. Epic Trains. Epic Flying. Epic Photography. Epic Music. Epic Narration. Epic Video! This is fabulously beautiful and exciting!🤗 Gotta Love It!❤
Thank you Dan. 🚂Lawrence
You're too kind Lawrence thank you so much!
@@TheRailfanDan 🤗
Ein wunderschönes Video toll gemacht weiterhin good Lucky Train greetings from Germany Cologne ein Fan aus Krefeld Germany Rhein side Düsseldorf ❤
I ❤ the Tunnel Scenes 😊
Awesome video
Another great production! The south-facing shots, along the Black Butte Sub, also show well the burn area of the Lava? fire. Also loved the drone footage north of Klamath Falls where you’re flying near the low clouds and a waterfowl swoops by. Flying the drone in heavy snow-you’ve got more nerve than me.
Thank you Bill! I don't think that specific area was from the Lava Fire. That was closer to the base of Shasta itself but that does indeed look like some fire from the last 5 years or so.
While I enjoy all your videos, the winter ones seem to have that little extra magic. As always, nicely done, sir !
Thanks a lot! I have to agree with you there.
Now that’s some awesome RailFanning stuff right there. 👍🏻👍🏻 What a share great video Thanks for putting a great video out there. Have a fantastic weekend
Love your beautiful videos! Thanks for sharing! Love the UNION PACIFIC!!!!
Thanks so much!
Good video ❤❤😍😍
Another great video Dan. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks!
Thank you Dan, a great video!
In 30 years of (rare) visits, I've never once seen the top of Mt Shasta for cloud...
Good to see the Amtrak GEs too, they've done well and good to see them still working hard.
Had to smile at the fallen tree resting on the wires 34.20 - obviously UP S&T (Signalling & Telecommunications here in the UK) do a very good job!
Thank you so so much for your donation! It will directly go to bringing you more quality content like this. I love the Shasta region! I hope one day you will see it in clear skies. I too am real happy to still catch Amtrak GE's running around.
Ooooh man, I wonder how it would have liked if Southern Pacific was still ruling the rails! I always will carry the SP in my heart......
I am with you there!
Epic video....thanks for sharing...keep up the good work!
Thanks so much will do!
Wow very good train 😊
Excelentes vídeos me encantaron 👌👍👍
Beautiful !
Fantastic views, well recorded and presented.
Thanks so much!
I thought I recognized Klamath Lake. Great train video and you've captured the beauty of Northern California and Southern Oregon. I haven't been up in that country in decades. Life just kept me busy doing other things. I briefly thought about retiring somewhere in that region. But you also caught the reason why I had 2nd thoughts. Looks very cold, LoL.
Thanks a lot! Ha yeah a bit cold this time of year!
Nice 👍
I like the south bound manifests, and spotting lumber loads from mills near me. Roseburg Forest Products, Douglas County lumber, Swanson, DR Johnson.
Thanks!
Thank you so very much! That's extremely generous and will go directly to helping bring more quality material to the channel!
I am such a huge fan of your work. That shot at 9:15 was one of the best cinematic drone maneuvers outside of FPV I've ever seen! I loved how in a couple shots, you could see pilot and aircraft. So much great stuff packed into one video!
Thanks so much Brad! Yeah that was kind of a fun and different maneuver than I usually do.
@@TheRailfanDan Its definitely a welcome change from the usual 5-6 main drone shots. I am still trying to figure out how it was done. Lol!
Outstanding job dan
During my two summers working at Crater Lake Lodge I made the drive to Klammath Falls many times. Not having a drone, Chiloquin was my favorite place to photograph trains.
This was actually the first time I filmed right near Chiloquin and I really like it too. I hope to spend some more time doing things there this year.
Great video sir! 👍🏻🎥💯
Awesome photography!
Amazing video ! I camp in the McCredie springs- Fields area about 25 nights a year. Lots of trips in the snow.. Great to see videos from my home away from home.
Thanks Keith and that's great! That's quite a bit of time spent at those places! The Winter time up there is my very favorite.
The whole video is amazing, but the first sequence in the snow laden trees at Pengra Pass is just jaw dropping. Speaking of, when you're driving south on US97, after you crest the little pass over tunnel 17, the view of Shasta as you come into Dorris is just magnificent. I envy the Amtrak passengers passing through that winter wonderland. Perhaps a southbound trip on the Starlight at a future date is in order. It's the only western Amtrak train I haven't traveled on.
Thanks so much! What you want is a Northbound trip on the Starlight in the late Spring, Summer, or early Fall to get great views of Mt Shasta. The Southbound trip through there is always under the cover of darkness.
@@TheRailfanDan I was talking about the drive down from Klamath Falls, but yeah. Northbound or southbound [on Amtrak], Shasta is usually passed in the dark. I think most railfans would travel at 25mph in the dark to wake up to Shasta in the morning light in either direction. It's stupendous!
Magnificent ❤It 😊
YES!!!!!!!!!
Haha thank you so much!
Great drone work. Appreciated.
Absolutely magnificent video the scenery is breath taking thanks for sharing this gem.
Wave Dan !!
漂亮
So I watched most of this last weekend at my friend's house and am now just getting around to finishing it a week later lol. There are so many areas along the line that I love going to on the hill, but perhaps my favorite 'go-to' is at tunnel seven. It's there that I can hike along the side of the tunnel and check out some of the cool things that the SP did to the tunnel, along with other cool features, back on the day. Like, did you know that there's a tunnel access portal sticking out the side of the mountain? Also, the trail gives access to the small rock shed, trestle, and tunnel eight. That's the location of a derailment back in the 1960's (?), dropping at least one boxcar down the steep ravine that is till there to this day.
Thanks Mike! Yes I know about that trail around 7 but have yet to check it out myself. I'll have to finally do that once the snow is melted.
WOW WOW WOW epic videos
Thank you!
Just found your channel and have become a subscriber. Your videos are awesome.
Thanks so much I'm so glad you think so and have subscribed! I hope you will enjoy more of my content.
Love trying to find from time to time the "hidden" pilot. I enjoy both "seeing" the pilot and how hidden they are at the same time. 😎😎
Thank you for your efforts making these!!!
Ha yeah I try to hide myself as best as I can but when I have the tripod set up close to the rails I sometimes stick out like a sore thumb! Thanks so much!
Your videos are always so good and the background music is well thought out. The winter shots in the beginning were amazing. I like the drone and on the ground shots throughout. Very well done. Keep them coming. I think what I like the most about that area is how remote and desolate other than the towns plus all those fir trees. Definitely a beautiful area to film trains.
Thanks so much Mark! I'm glad you enjoy the ground shots too. Some don't think they're very interesting which I do understand but the biggest drawback from drones is no audio so I like capturing the ground footage for that.
Look at That Seinery 😊
Those coupling were too tight on that train causing the horns to blow in high pitch. Hahaha
Beautiful Winter videographer Dan!
Ha yeah! Thanks so much Lee!
Nice videos
Thank you!
@@TheRailfanDan very good
I'm impressed by how much of a tank your drone is, all that falling snow even if you called it quits! (no drones were harmed in the making of?)
Actually you would be surprised how well drones do in the snow. It's much different than flying in the rain. Several times when it was very blizzard like I was shocked to see how dry it was when I retrieved it. I think the propellers help to just whip the snow away entirely.
Snowy landscapes are indeed the best and the nicest. Especially from the air, where we can see a lot of the surroundings too. The snowfalls at the start are really lovely. The trains are cool here, as they snake around the mountains. I'd like to ask something. Does the exhaust smoke bothers the drone when you fly close to the locomotives? Fantastic video again Dan. I really enjoyed my beloved UP engines. And of course the pumpkins too.
Thanks Z! I have no yet found any issues with flying the drone into exhaust. I think it's kind of neat if it isn't too terribly thick! You do always come to mind at some point when I'm working on a video with UP power! More of this to come in a follow up snow video at some point soonish.
Well done, some very beautiful footage. I wonder if it's possible to get loco sound from the drone, or you just hear the drone motor buzzing? I'm glad you got some ground scenes with sound, they were nice.
My only suggestion: the music is a little Hollywood pretentious; a bit simpler music would be nice. Anyway, thanks.
They don't even give the drones the ability to record audio because yes indeed it would just sound like an angry bees nest!
How is this video being filmed? Awesome footage of the train and mountain view!❤
With a drone! Thanks a lot!
I have featured your video on my Face Book Page Transport Spotters Worldwide Guide
Well thanks so much that's very kind of you!
😁
In weather like you shot in, do you have to be concerned with ice build up,on the drone blades like helicopters do?
I have not ever ran into that problem yet but I bet if I had it up in the air a bit longer than some of the clips here it might have became an issue.
Not a lot of snow😢😢😢😢
I have one regret watching this video; it is a pity this same artistry couldn’t have been done prior to the UP takeover.
You're telling me Bill! If only this technology was around in the 80's when so many more rail lines were still active than they are now. So many spectacular rail lines missed out on...
Great vids. Get rid of the background music.
And replace it with what?
The music is beautiful and fitting.
Illegal,to fly drones in inclement weather…
That's not a law just advised against.
@johnguz76 STFU and let us enjoy the views. We don't need your lecturing.
Thanks!
Thank you very much!!
