TCW.... tits, cunts & whistles.
Why so slow is the track that bad.
That would always be a fear of mine wondering why their is headlights coming my way
That car at Cedar Lake would've became a highlight of this video.
watched your CGW some stuff video some great stuff...but i gotta know.....who was the band playing the music? I gotta have that i'm a musician as well as a train lover thx
Pleased the CGW stuff was worth the effort to make a video of it. As for the music, I have no idea who the band is. It was created using software by SmartSounds which permits the user to make music tracks of any length. Love this software. Jeff Borne PrairieWorks
8:00 Dakota Avenue You see those weird-shaped supports the crossing lights are mounted on? Shaped to have an octagonal hole in the middle of them? When they were built, they had a standard stop sign in that hole that rotated to face the road when the crossing was activated and to face the track, invisible to the road, normally. They were common around Minnesota and maybe other places for a few decades. Little bit of trivia.
Very cool, never knew they ran on that route.
I wish TC&W Camden turns were still a thing. Great coverage!
Some of the street labels on this are completely wrong. Just before going over 94. The street is Lyndale Avenue not "Mississippi Drive"
