Nice, great weather, great catch at 09:49, good videos, but I, personally, would never visit there.

[heelblocks]

Thanks, Yeah Im not a big fan of this location either, Im more of a Country Lone railfanner.

[o00o00ozy]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. It would be cool to go to Donner or Cajon, nice grades and good scenery.  I like that diamond though. But I think I will stay in the east where I can see my SD40-2's, SD60's, and SD70's. :-)

[heelblocks]

Haha Yeah, I get the same down south.

I wanna see more CNIC videos! Just got back from getting a train with a CN D9-44CWL 2510 and CN D9-44CW 2606. Your CN/IC videos are my FAVORITE! I like the road too. We'll see what the Canadians through at me next.
