In agreement with COPPA regulations, my videos are directed towards a 13+ audience. Trains are not just for kids, and anyone who thinks that is a bigger failure than Baldwin-Lima-Hamilton.

    So much greatness packed into a relatively short space. I'm going to have to view this one a few times to process everything. Love the realistic varying train speeds when 2 or 3 trains/locomotives are moving in the same frame. That IS THE WAY IT WAS. I remember seeing the MOP trains occasionally moving on the Katy, south end of the Dallas sub around Hillsboro. The over/under Rock Island train and the MOP caboose hop was extraordinary. I had to run that one by several times and I'm still enjoying that jewel. Everything in the vid is way cool. Keep up the great work.
  • 10 out 10. Great work and great content. Watching this was almost like being in the yardmaster's area or operator's desk at the depot's bay window. I found myself almost reaching for the dispatcher's phone. I thoroughly enjoyed this trip back in time.

    Great video. I can tell you have some experience with railroads in real life. The consists, locomotive sets and train movements are so realistic in your videos they appear almost as having been photographed. Thanks very much for a most enjoyable experience.
