I'm gonna be moving to Omaha :D what can i expect... how many freights a day through there?

I bet you had to hunt those spots :) Gread vid so thumbs up as with the other ones! One of these days I'll move my ass to the railway station here and take a few vids - everytime I went there was a train goin on every 60 seconds or so.. out of which 10% would be a freighter... out of which half would be diesel-electric, the rest plain electric locos.

Looks like you had some good luck and picked some great spots. That camera is amazing!
