I appreciate the look at the bridges too, Red! I love seeing bridges but hate to drive over long or exccessively high ones. That's one of my phobias. 😊😊😊❤❤❤
Another Great video Red. The Drone views of the Iowa country sides are Awesome what a beautiful country We live in. I'm over here in West Virginia and we don't have much flat land over here rolling hills into mountains. Don't get me wrong I love WV but Living here all my live 54 years you tend to get bored of the hills/mountains. I'm gonna make it out your way sometime this year. Just to see the beautiful Iowa countryside. Keep up the good work and stay safe out there especially on the roads. Happy Memorial Day. And God Bless America.
Thanks Rob! Iowa sure has a variety to see. I think Northeast Iowa is the most beautiful. The Mississippi River helps make the scenery. I'll bet the trains battle a lot of grades there in WV! Have a great weekend👍
I didn't notice until they were going over the little wooden bridge, but one of the tank cars was 3 compartment. I've never seen one of them in person. I've seen many multiple compartment trucks but I think those rail cars are pretty rare. Thank you! 😊😊😊❤❤❤
Another great video Red, man you stay safe out there and watch your back and I hope you have a great memorial day weekend and we’ll see you on the next one
Hi Red, loved your opening footage of the train passing the brilliant white grain store against the bright blue sky, awesome. Railroad diamonds too what a treat! Beautiful dtone footage as per usual Red loved it all thank you until the next one. ❤😊👍
I thoroughly enjoyed this video, Red! It was a good train and new scenery. It was simple but very interesting. I really appreciate the format of this one. Thank you very much, Red. 😊😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hello Red, an interesting BNSF freight train and a signal box with an old semafore signal. The power plant with a weir on the river and this large railway bridge are great, they look particularly good with the green landscape. The video and the recordings with your drone are fantastic.🎥👍👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤ Thank you very much and best regards from Germany. wolfgang
Great views on a sunny day. You are the first to get that unique shot at Macy (the industrial). Maybe that bridge will be a project in the next few years?
WOW!, cool chase on the bike! Under the right conditions, some of those drone views make the real deal look like a really well detailed model railroad! My son in law says that CN intends to keep those 54XX series engines for as long as possible, theyre pretty much the "Jack Of All Trades" engines!
@@redsiowatrainvideos6645 Yep!, even Harleys get better gas mileage than cars, (except Tesla🤣🤣, and theyre a joke to me), there was a CNW green grain hopper, still with CNW reporting info, on a train at Kearney Nebraska on VRF a couple days ago! It was the first car behind 5 UP engines, and the middle one was the Rio Grande heritage unit.
This is a nice chase of Canadian National train #570, Red! I enjoyed watching the train as it traveled from the Iowa River bridge east to Parkersburg, Iowa. The train passing Mills Tower and crossing the Union Pacific (former CNW nee CRI&P) Spine Line was great drone footage. The Iowa River was churning within its bank downstream from the Iowa Falls Dam. I have a question about the reporting marks on those three flat cars in the consist. After the three flat cars went across that wooden bridge near Parkersburg, you mentioned that the reporting marks on the flat cars were BSR. When I did a Google search on those reporting marks, I could not find a reference to those reporting marks. I found a BSRX reporting marks for the Branson Scenic Railway. That was the closest reporting mark to the BSR reporting marks that you mentioned. Those flats cars appear to be some sort of heavy duty flat cars.
Thanks Thomas! That was a fun chase on the Harley. I believe BSR is Big Spring Rail out of Big Spring Texas. They are a short interchange railroad. Looks like headquarters is somewhere in Pennsylvania.
@@redsiowatrainvideos6645 Big Spring Rail System Inc. is headquartered in Big Spring, Texas. According to information that Union Pacific has on its rail partners, Big Spring Rail System, Inc. operates 3.3 miles of track owned by the City of Big Spring, Texas. There are oil and gas wells in the Big Springs, Texas area. That could account for the need of heavy-duty flat cars to transport drilling equipment. The Pennsylvania reference that you mentioned as the location of the railroad's headquarters refers to an abandoned railroad tunnel at Big Springs State Park in Pennsylvania. Big Spring State Park is located northeast of Doylesburg, Pennsylvania. There are no major cities or towns nearby that would be familiar to anyone reading this comment. In looking at a Google Map that shows the location of the State Park, if you go south of the State Park as the crow flies for less than 10 miles, you will arrive at one of the tunnels on the Pennsylvania Turnpike.

wondering what drone you have. You can fly so far from your location. Mine can only get about 2 10ths of a mile. Seems like you go at least 3/4mi.. Love your vids and your comments..!!
Hello Red. Your Railfan Drone coverage is on a much different level than any other Channel on TH-cam. Please keep up the Strong 💪 Efforts. 👍🙏
Thanks Ken! It's been a great hobby👍

I really like the frogs singing, too. 😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
Me too

That was a good mixed freight, Red! A really nice assortment of cars on it. Thank you, Red. 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
You're welcome Gary!

Very good drone-work, Red. Keep-up your excellent railfanning.
Thanks Phil!

Yo Wolfgang, you're welcome! That was a great afternoon chase on the motorcycle. We have plenty of water around here now👍
Great views on a sunny day. You are the first to get that unique shot at Macy (the industrial). Maybe that bridge will be a project in the next few years?
Thanks fallingup90! Yeah that bridge was flexing pretty good. They have a lot of wooden bridges around still👍
Nice catches!
Great video thanks for sharing happy memories days stays safe 🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸

Great day for a chase Paul! Saves a little bit on gas too👍

You sure do have good range with your drone 😉
Just bought a new controller that helped with the range👍
Train chasing by Harley Davidson, pretty cool. More great drone shots too.
My favorite train intercept vehicle👍
Hello Red nice cn Horn salute at the station curve 👍🏻 great video 👍🏻😎 Robin out
Hey Robin, thanks!
Have A Good Memorial Day Reds Iowa Train Videos
You too Johnnie!
I like when you went over with drone to see the special platform cars you could see another crossing installed laying on the ground near the bushes.
Good eyes, I didn't notice that👍
Very nice. Thanks toronto canada.
You're welcome Randomstuff! Hello from Iowa👍
Your videos are nice because of the great scenery. I haven't seen that in other videos, especially with the drone views.
Sunday!
you are setting in Macy, IA and I believe that tank site is an NH3storage and distribution site
Thanks Gary! I didn't realize that was a township.
71-82 and 82-71. Interesting.
