We cover a wide variety of topics, including freight trains, passenger and commuter railroads, rail news and information, tourist railroads, railway museums and railroad history.

Good video. The composition is good as the hills in the background look like a model railroad layout. I lived in Sacramento for over ten years and I know the hills won't stay green for much longer. Between you and Itsed65 we are getting some good looks at the East Bay.

I really like the way you vary the shots as the auto rack passes by. Looking at each and every car of a long train from the same, fixed position can get boring. Your capture of the Doppler effect of the horns at the crossing is something I haven't heard much in videos.
 
Thanks Bill. I noticed a lot of railfans who video trains at crossings tend to stay put on the road. I prefer to walk up about 20ft or so, but of course staying off railroad property and well back from the tracks whenever possible.
