First off, amazing footage! Love being transported back to the 90s and seeing the trains I'd see as a kid. I do have a question though, at 27:50, the front of the XTRA Lease trailer seems to be mounted on one flat car and the rear of the trailer seems to be secured to the adjacent flat car....is that a standard practice? I am not sure if I have ever seen a setup like this before.
When there was still many great Fallen Flags rolling stock around in the 1970s-80s and even some in the early 90s and especially before all this Dumb Ass "Spray paint" Vandalism we've had the last 20+ yrs. seeing the whole train was nice ! There are some nice sites with a lot of older 1960s-80s video out there and the Fallen Flag search is great !! But anything past the 1990s, the whole train is boring with just a handful of super railroads that have their own cars and like I said 99% are all F'd up with "inner-city" graffiti crap !!! Hate it.
LOVE the start of this video!!
Agreed a nice 'racing ' shot to start things off !!! Great captures
