BNSF 5246 East, Taconite Train on the Barstow sub

A taconite train led by a hard-pulling GE C44-9W runs down the "Peavine" towards Galesburg.

When I saw the approaching DPU, I decided to isolate on it with the zoomed in camera.

I've edited out about a minute of ore car sameness. And I've added a disclaimer regarding that.

Awesome! Love the SD70MAC! I think I asked you this before...What kind of cameras do you use?  The quality is superior!

@dwkcamman611 Thanks. Glad you liked it. Canon HF S200 (1) and HF S100 (2) are the shooters. Most of my equipment is listed on my Youtube channel page.

@mcresq65 Interesting. It does look somewhat like "tilt/shift." And after I finished editing it, I too thought it looked like a model train.

Thanks for watching and the comment.

Have you noticed that in your first telephoto shot, that the depth of field is so compressed, it vaguely begins to resemble that "tilt/shift" look for a moment? The C-44 is so clear and precise that it almost looks more like a model than the real thing. Just my thoughts, others may not see it that way.

But I liked it.
