Very nice video. Those trains just seem to glide so smoothly by. The track must be in great condition there. And I so appreciate that you do use a tripod mount, and that you do NOT use zoom telephoto shots.
Yes, but about it being great, not really. There are cars speeding by at 40 MPH right behind you. If you know a train is coming you can snap a good shot off of the bridge. There are crossings up the line, and in the town of Birdsboro and the Turkey Path is great for fanning as long as the locals are out and shifting is going on, or work on the main line causes trains to be detoured onto the Turkey Path.
is that ex-conrail MOEN??

14G- Another Boring GEVO!! But at least it was doing the job! Like that Bridge Shot!
19G- Nice!! Definately heavy power.
33A- That 8723 needs a paint job!!

Great video! CP Bird looks like a great place to railfan. Are you on top of an overpass?
