Yes i got depressed. never seeing such a thing due to my age , I was born in frikin 64 .. just to have seeing these with some frequency must have been the cats ass. This is real railroading, i was a conductor for six years .. i still think it would have been something else in those days... today it's work. your whole vid is crammed with a lot goin on. very sweet.
