Thanx for posting, Charlie. That's the kind of a motor car/high rail traip that I'd enjoy. Not on where you're following 20 other cars, smelling their exhausts and subject to the exact speed of the first car in line. And to have an old high-rail truck like that one is just perfect. You can hop off the line when you want or have to, and then get back on at the other side of an obstruction.

Way to Go!

Interesting video; will the rockslide be cleared or was the line already out of service? And: where does that rail line run to / from? Thanks! DK
