Lovely videos, though I'm not working on any European route right now. Still grieving over the loss of TheEventRecorder.

I'm not either, but found them interesting and very intriguing.

Sorry to hear about your route? It happens sadly and that's why I backup stuff diligently. I learned my lesson the hard way before.

Oh, no no, sorry for the confusion, my route is all well and good. I was referring to Youtube channel/user TheEventRecorder, a BNSF employee who used to record and upload beautiful videos of the trains he operated in and out of LA. They were recently
taken down by BNSF and according to him the videos are gone for good.

Oh... I remember looking for those myself. Maybe this was due to the way the employee had recorded the videos or maybe they felt he paid too much attention to the camera and less to the train operations.

He basically stuck a GoPro somewhere on the locomotive (usually in very unique points of view) and left it there the entire journey. Word has it that BNSF took issue with how yard layouts were shown, you know...the ones that you can publicly view in high resolution on Google Maps.

It sounds like a stupid management thing as they have what is called executive function issues!

I knew it had to be something like that. Some of the coolest video's with the most unique views. Too bad.
