This is one of my favorite flying locations.   Short hike from Pinecliff.  Seems almost made for FPV flying.   Someday I'll get the nerve to shoot that tunnel.    I'd never try it with my DJI FPV,  I wanted a carbon fiber drone, that could survive a crash somewhat and could fix it.    Anybody want to lend me yours?  Two is a better idea, one for practice run.   Shot with Mavic Mini 2.  Music is Purple Line by Bohmer.

Magnificent footage!   I always enjoy the music with your videos.  

Some day you really do have to shoot that tunnel.

It would be even cooler to see a Mini 2 vs train standoff at that tunnel.

Problem is not losing the signal.   I think the only way to do it, is stand on top of the tunnel,  it's only 25 yds long.

Looks like a drone graveyard to me.

There's also a railroad bridge right before the tunnel.  Seems to have everything,  tunnels, cliff dives, bridges and great scenery.

The more reason to try and film a train there.
Do they run on a schedule?

Yes, from Denver to Winter Park  through the Moffet Tunnel amazing people that build this.   Need to figure out the schedule time.   That would be really cool.

I think I can't get enough of that.
I'm editing a Pocket 2 video that was shot on our model layout.

I would hope they have a public schedule available.  Now how close they run to the schedule is another guess.

My method is usually to ask the locals.
They usually know the schedule better than anybody else.

What a location!  Music sorta reminds me of Tangerine Dream from the 80's, solid background music.

I remember that group.   Yes, this place inspired me to build a carbon fiber drone that can take a beating and be repaired.  I wouldn't try anything dangerous with my DJI FPV.
