Amazing Railroads in Nature: THANK YOU 20,000 Subs!!! 

That was absolutely fantastic Dan! Time for me to put this laptop down. This work deserves several more viewings on my the big screen!

Yes, please regarding more videos following the tracks at very low level. I very much enjoy these “cab ride” experiences please make more.

Big congratulations to your great milestone Dan. 20K is an amazing round number. But to be honest with you I think your channel is still very underrated. Your drone videos are always high quality and spectacular. Hopefully RU-vid's algorythm will recommend your uploads to more people and others can enjoy them too. To answer your question I like the POV angle, so I think that will be a great addition to your videos. Just like narration was. I'm looking forward to your future updates.

Definitely more flying low along the rails. Following a train if you dare. Awesome video. Remember almost all of the originals.

Definitly enjoyed the ‘engineers view’ low shots

The Judge from Georgia gives him a perfect 10!

Great drone shots, thanks. This the link I'm sending to yet-to-be railfans.

Congratulations on a great milestone! I really appreciate your work and your talent. I still remember the opening scene of the first Railfan Dan video that I saw! I waas hooked! Keep up the good work, and we'll keep enjoying!

Masterly piece of art...beautiful views, great background music.

Well done, very beautiful...this video definitely should win! The low rail scenes would make good b-roll.

Flying close to the rails is kinda like train drivers pov. I dig that👌

What an incredible video. Incredible shots, editing and production. Amazing!

Wow, creative and beautiful. Defintely enjoy seeing the trains in the videos but following the track with the drone is unique in showing the terrain traversed. Go for it. Thank you for sharing.

Very impressive visuals. Congrats on the 20k subs Cheers 👍🏿

This channel is the BEST! Wondeful ever. Congratulation Dan.

2:54 - Epic rollby! Great video, Dan! The low flying videos had me convinced that it was taken from a train, at least for a moment. They are worth exploring more, sir!

Beautifully filmed content, more like this please. I would also like to see the right-of-way filmed from a drone.

Give a 👍 here to vote for more 'Flying Above the Rails' scenes.

The absolute best channel for jaw dropping scenes! You deserve so much more than 20K. Stunning video! Thanks for your hard work and sharing it! The low drone shots over the rails are awesome and really neat to see exactly what the crew does.

Love this video, love your drone work. Love everything you do! As I said before, Your videos and drone work are amazing. I will be watching and waiting for your next video! Take care and be careful.

Congratulations, this video is absolutely stunning 😊

I love the idea of riding the rails close to the ground. Your videos are awesome..

20,000? That’s awesome congratulations 50,000 is right around the corner Dan. This short video was absolutely amazing. I love your work pal. Keep up the great work and I’ll keep watching.

Yes on the low flying rail shots especially on abandoned lines

Wonderful selection of scenes. Great editing in music. Thank you so so much.

I'm from Brazil, and like very much your work! Congrats!

The other day when you posted about the FPV drone shots, I wasn’t sure I would like it, but now seeing it, I definitely do. This is a great video!

YES, YES, following the rails is very cool. Your videos keep getting better and better.

While I really love your normal view of both the train and the landscape as you chase the train with your drone, I also like this view while flying close to the tracks. It’s very relaxing to let the track miles roll by. Both are good.

Awesome footage. Thank you for footage some of us would never see

Great work again! I loved your drone following an abandoned track ... no trains there and it was very effective.

Beautiful work🔥🔥

Your work is inspiring. Thank you for sharing it with all of us.

Congrats Dan, 20k, well earned! Be sure to tell us if you place in the contest. Best wishes. M

That was a beautiful video! Re: low-to-rail; they do provide an interesting look at the terrain and are a change up from the usual, just don't get carried away (please)

Great video as always! I love videos just following the tracks.

Love it! Following the rails is an excellent idea, and it can help model railroaders to get more details about the routes they which to recreate.

That short video feature was EPIC 👌🏼

How beautiful! Skypixel is a no joke contest. Hope you did well! As a railfan and 107 holder i love your work!

super video

Wonderful video, low level along the track would be a nice add on.

Hi Dan, what you give to people watching your video is more than simply very nice videos, but, speaking of what I feel, emotions! Great job! About the rail soaring, this adds another nice perspective, that I like and could be an intersperse into your usual wider views. Waiting for further emotions from Italy!

Ok, that video was epic, Dan! Love the low POV shots as well. It's a nice perspective to what a locomotive engineer sees. Congrats on the 20k. You're an inspiration.

I admire your work as it is so stunning and beautiful with all of your videos and this short overview of your many video posted to RU-vid, and thank you greatly most especially for you video of Soldier Summit. Your idea to fly a drone by itself low and fast over railroad tracks is an excellent idea.

Keep going with the low altitude work👍🏻

4:33 The low-flying 'train's eye view' perspective is really interesting, I hope you'll be filming some more of these in 2024. Congratulations on 20,000 subscribers, well-deserved after years of hard work and dedication!

Wow that was incredibly powerful! You’ve captured some really amazing scenes over the years! I’d also love to see more low flying over the rails.

Wow Dan. Just wow. This one is actually my favorite video you've done. I love the "cab ride" view and I would encourage you to do more shots like that and sprinkle them in with your other videos. I hope you win the contest too because this is a breathtaking video. I hope to see more like this as they are shorter and more enjoyable since I don't really have a lot of time to sit and watch videos. So far all of your work has been incredible and you just keep getting better. Keep up the great work and I look forward to more. You might even get a few more viewers now because your channel was shared over at "The Depot" forum today.

Dan, What a great video, and yes, I like the drone footage from cab level. It really gives a feel for seeing things as the train crew sees them, plus the scenery is always stunning. I also want to thank you for your video back in November about the Coos Bay Rail Line. After watching it and several other videos of the line I finally honed in on where and what my next model railroad layout is based. It certainly is a plus that it is former SP as my grandfather was a fireman on the SP, albeit on the Shasta Division. Keep up the great work.

Was that you in the video? You are amazing. My husband will not travel, so your videos are allowing me to see places, I will probably never get to see. God bless you! ❤️🙏

2.41 I want that for my wall! Or at least on my Mac. I always enjoy your videos, as do the guys at the club here in Berkshire, UK. Track level filming is ok, as long as I can enjoy the massive scenery of the US. Congratulations on 20k, I recommend you to all my friends.

You are brining railfaning to the next level absolut top Thanks

Hi Dan, great compilation! I would like a extrended compilation with 4k material and longer scenes just for enjoying some hours of these wonderful pictures. Kind Regards. And when the prices for 8k-drones will trop sometime: 8K drone videos are like 3D-Videos! Great

Great video sir! Love the narration.

Thanks Dan. I really liked this one. Fun to figure out each location, as I've been to many of theses spots over many years, and seen many of the others on yours and others videos and photos. I had to check twice on that big Herzog train in the Jefferson Canyon, though. The cavern was the sure landmark there. Once upon a time route of the North Coast Limited and Milwaukee Road electrified. I like the train driver view drone shots, especially seeing the abandoned track that way. I'd really like to see Homestake Pass that way, seeing how inaccessible it is up there for anyone that doesn't live in the area and own an ATV.

congrats on the 20k! and wow... the shows and the scenes... just absolutely stunning... I don't know what else to say...

Track level clips would be a nice addition especially when there is an interesting track feature to show. Mix them in!

I'm mesmorised by the scenery....and your skill. These videos are magnificent! The low-flying videos are interesting but I prefer the vastness and grandeur of the scenery which, to a UK resident, is of unsurpassed beauty and on a scale which is hard to comprehend (to English eyes anyway!)

Another fantastic video. Keep the low to the rails videos coming. I would like to see small caption line to tell the location of each shot or audio narration.

Almost makes me want to mark back up. Almost, but not quite!!!😎

Awesome !!!!

Fantastic video Dan. I loved the mirror reflection on the flat water. I would love to get together with you and your father and do some distance horizon tests some time. Hope you win the contest, you should. Peace ✌.

Dan, I'm all in on "cab-view" tours.🤗 Love the natural beauty of the scenery, the engineered beauty of the track geometry, and the adventure of being led around the organic curves of parallel rails - wondering what lies around the next bend. Wouldn't mind at all if you decide to occasionally do a video w/o trains!😳 (just sayin', ya know, IMO, LOL)🙃 Thanks for sharing this vid. Congrats on 20K+. 🚂Lawrence

Yes that was grate

A few things buddy, I'll pass on flying close to the rails. Great work on your submission. If it wasn't for you, I never would have bought a drone to capture trains, so a big thanks for that. I enjoy your work and the way that you incorporate the scenery in with the video is top notch. When I first viewed your videos with the music, I was like, no train sounds? However, your videos don't need the natural train sounds because they are like a cinematic movie. Thanks for all of your hard work and I am looking forward to more videos from you in the future.

Congratulations!!!

Low flying is fun but the high altitude overwiew can't be beaten.

That is an absolutely fabulous video!!! Thanks so much for sharing it with us! What was the outcome of the contest? Please keep us posted. Love your work!

Yes! And Yes! And ………you know 😀

Really a great video and congrats on 20k! But i am a little sad A&E didnt make it in 😢 lol maybe next time. 😁

Dude, Dan.... 20,000!?! That's badass!!!!! Way to go man, I'm freggin proud of you!! Well done!! I loved this compilation so much. When did CBRL have that multicolored geep btw? I had to do a double-take because I only saw the normal paint scheme behind what I at first thought was some sort of heritage painted bigger locomotive in the lead. lol I was very wrong 😂 Also, I really hope you do way more track (cab) level views, as I've forever loved walking along the rails to just look at everything. What would be coolest in my opinion though would be to not only have you chase the back of trains (like you did at the end of the Oregon Trunk video), but to also have you fly the drone through signal blocks, tree and rock cuts, and, possibly one of my possible favorite daydreams, and to go for a minute or so along the rails of an ultra long straight stretch (like the stretch between Harrisburg and Albany, Oregon on all three lines (UP, W&P, and AERC/W&P), then climb in elevation to show just how long those straights stretches are. :-) Congrats again, Dan, and I look forward to yet another video from you soon!

Yay!!! So glad you've reached 20,000. And another beautiful video. When will we know you've won the DJI contest?

Lets do that !!

🎖

you could do some of the routes that are disused like Tennesse Pass using the drone to simulate what the driver's view would look like.....

Drone "cab-ride" of the Cascade Sub?

Thanks Dan !!!

I do enjoy the front view however I get motion sickness watching it. So I can only watch a few seconds.

Railroads....where would we be with out them

If this is inappropriate, please delete. That is one pretty f... cool video!!!!!

WAY too fast. NOT enjoyable. TOO MUCH, TOO FAST. The music was a bit too aggressive. However, I love the content and the scenery, especially , but I could not enjoy it. I really like the low rail idea. That could be incorporated into something beautiful. I would like to see all those train videos in a much slower approach so that the scenery can be greatly enjoyed. I like trains but by themselves they are boring. What makes your videos special is the scenery. Key element. You have the eye to make some really great videos. Keep up the good work, and you will be greatly rewarded.

Thanks, Dan, For the views on the silver Ribbons. 🛤
