@LocalRailfan nost railroads dont have flashing ditch lights in the US, only eastern railroads ( those that run NORAC and not GCOR) do have flashing ditchlights along with amtrak
hey back off, not everyone has a tripod, b4 i used one, i wasn't the greatest filmer of my life either, so chill the freak out, u'd probobly do the same thing if u didn't have a tripod, so quit bitch'in and moan'in. Great catch, one of my favorite videos, keep it up!! =]
Northern Illinois is kinda infamous for this. I've seen it places like Clinton IA, Sterling, Morrison, even at Franklin Grove. Looks like they may have had em backed up to the river for a "Parade" situation, but UP does overtakes quite often when you've got an Ocean Container Hotshot running behind a Manifest.
UP dosen't flash the ditch lights like other railroads. I forgot why they didn't.

seems kinda pointless for train 2 to be blowing the horn when another is already going past

I think its only in the states they have the horn-flashing ditch lights operation cause in Canada our trains CN and CP don't do it

try using a tripod next time, what could have been a real spectacle in trains and railways/railroads, was ruined by your bodgy filming.
The bitchy aussie critic has spoken,
please take this as constructive criticism?
