Absolutely the worst video I’ve ever seen.
I was even screwed for taking the time to copy and paste the URL, which should have been a link. Most at the forum won’t take the time to copy and paste such. I regret doing so.
The only value of the video I saw was the confirmation of the left running bias of the ex-CNW two-track mains in Iowa.
You would be best to delete this topic as soon as you can. Oh, but wait. You can’t now that someone has replied. Oh, well.
Anyway, welcome to the forum. Life WILL get better for you here …
I rather enjoyed your video. There are many which are much worse. Welcome to the forum
There fixed the link!
Would suggest a tripod or a mono-pod to steady the camera.
At least you got the video posted, Will ! Congratulations on that, One thing that stood out to me,was the seeming 'Blocked Order of that UP Train. It looked like something on a well run modeler’s layout. BNSF seems to have a little less ordered appearance on the general merchandise trains they run through here.
So welcome around here! [#welcome]
Hope you’ll show some more of your photo’s, and videos. There are several posters here who regularly post some really stunning photos and a few videos, also.

You have the magical touch with that link, Sam.
The video looked better the second time around (and without the link problem distraction).
As you implied, the freight car mix and order was stunning! Coal, refrigerator, tank, auto-racks … All in blocks too … What a train! I have to wonder if WillCTrains has a connection to the PR department that could pull off something like that …
Take care Sam,
K.P.
Welcome to the forum.
The train was interesting and the resolution and focus is very good. Even if the camera was hand held, it was quite steady. Overall good work.
The trick to activitating the link is just making sure that there is a space or two after the last character.
From the position of the auto racks and those empty well cars on the end, it looks like MPRCB. Usually that train runs through there early (pre-dawn) but off and on for the last couple of months they’ve been holding it in Boone until later in the day due to track work out in western Iowa.
Taken off the US 169 overpass a few miles west of Ogden, just east of Beaver. I was looking at a couple of other things and originally said Grand Jct, because I was thinking about that town. Shouldn’t try to do two things at once sometimes.

Worth repeating:
Thanks for sharing !

I hope you Will C a lot more Trains, and post them here. Practice will help (If I ever take videos, I’ll keep telling myself that!). Welcome to the Forum!
I concur with Jeff that it looks like MPRCB. Those cars behind the units are MWCX gons, no longer used for coal. I’m not sure what rides in 'em any more, but we used to send a lot of them out west. Scrap for Nucor?
I definitely appreciated the view of the entire train, flat-wheel sound and all. Too many people quit shooting after the power goes by. (Might I suggest, if it’s possible, to edit away the beginning and ending of the video…)
