  • Here is a westbound Union Pacific autorack train led by UP8931 through the Feather River Canyon. This is actually the same train as my video at Williams Loop.
    The first location is at Tobin, the second is Rock Creek, and the last is Pulga.
    This was during bad fires in Northern California so the haze of smoke gets worse as the video continues.
    All taken from a DJI Mavic Pro.

    These shots are absolutely beautiful. The resolution is unmatched. I've seen scale layouts that makes this look run-of -the-mill. I did a double take thinking this was a model. That's a compliment to great modelers, not an insult to this fine video. Thanks.

    I just noticed You only have 100 likes for this Awesome Video. It is impossible to watch this and not enjoy the beautiful Canyon topography, the river rapids and the meandering train motion through this beautiful place. I just don't get it that someone can watch this and not want to show some appreciation by giving it a LIKE !

      Thanks Railfan Dan for the reply. I just rewatched Your video through Feather River Canyon. Just as EPIC as the first time I watched it. I can only conclude that you must have been on the train itself to be able to have reception with the drone while filming in the canyon. However You did it. It was Amazingly Beautiful.

    Not only is your tracking excellent . . but the time-of-day lighting is as well. Overhead sun highlights all the features of the terrain. Very good in particular west of the Pulga bridges through Milepost 238 . . an area difficult to capture roadside.
