As usual, very nice video, Frank. I noticed, there is crossing a lot of trucks.. Can you make any video of them? We don't have so much possibilities to see US trucks here in Europe...;-))

[BoxcarFrank]

I did film a few trucks here just for the hell of it. I'll probably upload a compilation video sometime soon.
