Another really good show and professional shooting* (video shots are understood) as always.  You should consider billing Amazon for blocking the view of the train.  Afterall, the don't mind paying top dollar to air their TV commercials during prime time do they not...???  Thanks for sharing!

As always, we get way too many tagged freight cars and locomotive engineers (?) who can't properly sound whistle signal 14L when approaching grade crossings.  My good buddy, retired BNSF/Amtrak railroader David Wiegant** tells me that BNSF is very strict about sounding 14L, at least in New Mexico where he lives.

* In the enclosed photo of you, it looks like you're ready to take on taggers when it becomes legal to shoot them on sight, LOL.

** David Wiegant is current president of the Railroad Evangelistic Assn.  The REA was founded in the late 1930s by Atlantic Coast Line locomotive engineer Luther S. Harkey.  All Aboard, the REA magazine, can be read online for free.  It now includes a model railroad section and modelers are invited to share their modeling skills with REA members and visitors.  Please consider making a contribution by submitting an artical about yourself and your layout which will also help promote O gauge at the same time.  Be sure and mention O Gauge Railroading magazine too!

Thanks,

Joe
