So, I am driving last night and what do I stumble upon?  A train.  I am heading in the wrong direction so I pull a u-turn as quick as I can and race to the only crossing where I may have a chance.  I get set up just in the nick of time.  My goal is to be on the tracks when the train comes so I can face the engine head on.  As you can see from the video I was close, but not close enough.  One day.

Anyway, this one is more to what I would like to get.  And it has the 'train from afar sky shot' at the end.  Enjoy!

I apologize, this video has been removed at the request of youtube.

Great to see it snake into the distance.  How many cars on this one?

Haha..I didn't count and there are probably a few edited out so can't count from the vid.

L O N G trains and L O N G cars. Those cars look twice as long as regular cars.

Perfect timing! I have a GS mission saved for the tracks. Just waiting to catch a train in the perfect spot.

Actually the ones running on this line are fairly short right now.  There is a problem with the tracks due to frost and they are running short trains at a slower speed.

A lot of them are auto carriers  - I think it is just the angle of the camera.  They are normal length cars.

Good get, Chris!

Sorry, heading in this direction - east - they are returns, so empty.

Try this...  Might help you pinpoint when a train will be coming...
Railroad Radio

Or go old school and get a real scanner.  I'm sure you can find your local rail frequencies somewhere.

Good link Friffy! Hadn't even thought of that, thanks!

Although the source and music are okay, youtube for some reason is not.  So instead of the hassle, I will take it down and replace it with different music.
