Occaisional Fine Train Video Site

[boleyd]

On occasion you stumble across a fine train video site. One rich with lots of ideas for your route. Or, just some hints to add reality and historic relevance.

Not just trains but some train history, artifacts, and such...

The video clarity and sound are very good. There are dozens of ground level train shot sites but the drone gives a whole new perspective.
I eventually went to Google Map to get a street view of Deshler, OH. Interesting to see the modernized fronts of the buildings versus what you see from a train. Certainly beats watching the death count on CNN.

You do know you can watch Deshler on Virtual Railfan Youtube streams?

I was thinking the same as you posted this before. I agree he has some great stuff.

Yep, that is a fine site. Great skilled photography. But the best feature is that he knows railroading. I had never seen a video that detailed freight switching operations. It caused me think about Trainz in the light of today's railroading which is mostly freight. The switching and shuffling that occurs not only in yards, but also at customer locations, was revealing.

Thanks boleyd for the link in the original post. That is some very good video and I enjoyed comparing it to what I see in the Virtual Railfan streams. Things look so much better from the drone shots. The VR stream diamond cam is downright depressing but the historical buildings are interesting.
