Today I have many things to do, but find some time to fly in a canyon of Struma river and saw the train coming - here is the short clip with it
P.S.
This is special for Montfrooij

YES. Exactly what I was waiting for.
Your flying skills should be able to make exactly this kind of shots.

Beautiful line. I love how it runs through the landscape.
That does deserve some more airtime!

Guilty as charged I should have spent more time with the train, But I did not know the place, was afraid of losing signal in curves and was about to explore the gorge... excuses, while I should pay attention to the train

Yeah Alex, when I saw the title and then YOUR name, I thought, "What's Alex doing?  This is Montfrooij's passion."  Then, when I opened it, I saw that you did it for him.  Nice work.

The Mavic Pro as they say in Superman is faster than a speeding train :-)

that train looks like it's going pretty fast though.  That's what's funny!  and MP just cruises on by.

It does look like the train is moving pretty fast, and Mavic Pro just keeps up and passes the train on by.

And the answers is - Mavic was overtaking the train with 48-51 km/h (just checked the flight log ;) ), So the train was moving around 40

No problem. Not everybody is as eager to see trains
