While taking take a few photos of one spot, this serendiptous opportunity came along. This caravan was over 4 minutes long.

Great Freight Train . That's quite long.

Impressive sight.

That's an incredibly long train. Awesome power in the motive unit.

Wow, what great timing to capture that almost endless train.  Great job Cacike.  

I bet that train takes some stopping.

I thought it was never going to end, mind you, I got to the area after 2 minutes of hearing all the rattling of the tracks.

Several miles long then do you think?

At least over a mile and two since it went by at approximately 20 miles p/hr. By the time I caught up it had passed for a good minute.

I grew up near the train tracks and never saw a caravan that long but then again that was 60 years ago.

Nice video. That's a lot of boxes

That train was really long. Great timing.

Yep, this was a good 2-3 minutes before I got the drone over there.

I hope to be coming over just to capture trains one day.
