4 2 4K Amtrak California Zephyr #6 In fort Morgan Colorado Very late Train Due to....

Here is the California Zephyr for 4-2-2024.
This train is coming in to Fort Morgan Colorado Very late .at 1209 AM. late.
Due to an accident with the wind at a further date blowing over my camera and destroying the Lens into pieces and denting the camera body - This will be some of the last nightly Zephyrs I upload. Unfortunately my road with the nightly Zephyr ends in the next few days of footage . We have not received any support needed to replace the camera lens over the last year of daily uploads here and as Ive always said the Channel has to support itself. Ive already had to replace tires from nails at the train station out of pocket and now without funds to replace the camera I cant continue this daily adventure here. It dosnt make sense from a logical stand point to spend the kinda time and energy to put up daily videos here. I appreciate you guys watching and being here and the few connections ive made with some of you over the last year. We just dont have any kind of support system here for when this kinda stuff happens and so i have to rethink how this is gonna work because as i sit here and write this its not working for me. We cant keep the channel going without the support we need. its like a unhealthy relationship, if 1 person pays for dinner all the time that person is gonna get tired of paying for dinner and im tired of paying for dinner.
With that said my Sony cam lens is trashed and possibly the body too. This was a big wake up call for me in the time and effort i spend here. This dosnt just affect you this was also the camera i captured my kids bdays and sporting events and special moments at home with. So not haven my camera for that hurts more then anything and if or when i do get a new lens and or camera its gonna be used for my family stuff and not the channel.
The channel is gonna have to basically buy its own dedicated camera so when something like this happens it doesn't affect anyone else but the channel through support
I probably should have started streaming first and when i had the support for a camera, we could have moved on to Daily videos. so i guess i didnt think this through very well.
in any case Im gonna be uploading the last few train videos i have at some point and calling it a day here for a bit till i figure out how i wanna proceeded forward here. Im not sure ill do Daily trains again , and if i do were a long ways away from that here as it stands. . Hope you all can understand.

Jay I fully understand your plight and find no fault in your decisions..Family just has to come first
Period. Hope all works out well & resume seeing your videos. I am a 87 year senior on fixed income so funding any outside interest comes as a serious decision. Good luck!

Hey Ben! I Appreciate ya coming by to watch and share your comments with me everyday. Your one of the connections I was talking about. I dont know how all this a gonna work out yet. I think its gonna take me quite awhile to replace the camera... and thats just really unfortunate for me. Unfortunately this was a big learning experience for me. Im not sure ill return to doing daily trains for quite some time. We might go film a train here or there with our phones and post it , but it wont be anything like what my videos are today in 4k and 3 views. I really had something goin here... ahh well we live and learn. I might be back some day and when i do daily videos again itll be because theres a support system in place here incase something happens then it all dosnt stop like it is right now. I need to have checks and balances in place and i kinda gave the channel things it hadn't earned or could afford to have yet and thats costed me. so now i have to back up and figure out a new plan. its hard for me because some channels have endless budgets i have none for this channel and was providing something unique , i thought. Ahh it dosnt matter now ..the fact is my camera is toast so untill i can replace it theres nothing i can do b but edit what i have.
