    Wow! That was Hella Close for that Darwin Candidate.
    Every time I see the mow crew parade, reminds me of a few scenes of Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Especially the scenes where he's lost in Muncie Indiana at a rail crossing looking at a map.

    The number of engines with a lot of smoke is amazing, but somehow NS seldom has an issue, until this weekend in Pa, two engines with substantial flames and halted on the tracks in anemergency. Our heat index quite awful. The one engine started a grass fire by the tracks, some rail fans doing a video became firefighters, successfully thank heavens.

    Love the MOW parade. I counted 28 pieces of equipment being moved, one less than the 29 that the Grab Bag showed being brought in on the train a week or two ago. The Spacex launch was beautiful and the music pretty cool too. Thank you.

    I really did a double-take at the giraffe! The baby birds that were cheeping behind the Ashland cam must have fledged and flown away; I miss them but loved the MOW parade there. It was good to see 4822 again, and of course the launch and its music were beautiful. Thank you for another wonderful one!

    4:23 You should _never_ stand that close to a moving train. A railfan of all people should especially know the dangers of kicked up debris, or - if particularly unlucky - a mechanical failure that has metal debris being flung at you. Or even a sudden derailment.
    I even know a guy who caught an amazing action shot of the tail car on a freight train suddenly failing and flipping on its side, only about a quarter kilometer away from the crossing he was filming from. He was using a tripod thankfully, and had that happened even just a few seconds later, that car could have landed on his tripod.
    If you want footage like that, get a tripod and step back. Don't be that guy.

From my vantage point he could have stood behind the crossing arm and got a much better shot. I like that unit also but I’m not risking my life to get a blurry picture of it.
