Trains passing through Horseshoe Curve! Shot with a DJI phantom 4 pro +. Im blown away by how many views, likes and shares this video has received recently! Please like and subscribe!! :)
Drones were the best thing (along with HD/Big Screens and all that) to happen to Railfans......As I watch this the quality is stunning but equally important is the person operating the Drone, you are the Director! Excellent job.
@@Chaackaviationandtrainvideos please keep doing videos on RU-vid. I watched 100s of videos, by far the best I have ever seen. I am going to subscribe to your channel. Thanks from Kosciusko, Ms.
This is on par with something made in Hollywood. The whole video is just hypnotizing. Thanks for putting in the time and effort to make it, you've given a lot of people a fantastic piece of entertainment. Definitely looking forward to more drone videos of trains from you!
Both drone videos are absolutely stunning work. You all deserve some kind of award for shooting these incredible scenarios. Anyone who watches these will have a new appreciation for the rugged terrain around the horseshoe curve; and I always thought it was fairly flat! Again, masterful videos, to say the very least.
I have to agree with other comments, Brilliant Drone, Camera, and editing work, resulting in a fabulous Video, I always thought the live view camera was at the start of the curve but now know its in the middle at the bottom, and i always thought there were only two tracks not three. Video truly shows the magnificence of the curve, and your work, Thank you.
Lots of people hate drones, and for good reason. But this is stunning, the best use of a drone I've seen! It would be great if you could go out to California to fly over the Cajon Pass and the Tehachapi Loop.
You have no doubt found your calling!!!!!!! I know basically nothing about drones and videography I just enjoy watching them and hands down best video I have ever watched!!!!!! Not just of the curve I mean all drone footage I have seen!!! Question though do you do this as a hobby or a service because I'm from the area and actually thinking if your interested on hiring you for a few projects!!!! Let me know and I'll send you my Email.
This is great! I'm going to try replicate this video on the Trainz simulator route I'm making I reckon. Is the big tank still in the trees by the signal gantry?
I envy you...I would like to commend you on your drone piloting and your videography skills. I'm not sure what camera operations you can perform but you've got it almost 97% of the time...Would like to know your configuration to get audio recorded, obvious from drone or external recorder sync...and feed of scanner to recorder...Balc could be better to hear the scanner, but you'll get that honed in soon. What was your total listing of equipment to capture your video and your approx. cash outlay to put your videos to production. I'm old school broadcast videographer/editor. I suck at computer editing, but your vision of aerial drone photography is spot on. Now days with everyone suing everyone, I hope the reliability of your drone is well enough that your possible crashing into a train doesn't cause a wreck too...Cover yourself with legal insurance and some kind of insurance for accidents for liabilities...Look at those train wrecks there in just a couple of passing weeks...they weren't counting on them I'm sure? Lloyds of London is doing a bang up business! Keep up the great work, hope you get hired to do some aerial work for the studios...Tip: Always do what Director of Photography Says especially in front of the Director! Can't go wrong if that's documented, "your" screw up is THEIR screw up!! Keep going! Nice work.
Outstanding work. I am thinking you put in a lot of flying hours first to get comfortable enough to pull this one off. Not sure I will get that comfortable with my drone to try something like this.
How are you handling audio? Better question would be, are you using any audio input from the drone? If so are the motors/blades quiet enough for audio recording?
If you dont mind me asking, when we watch the camera, is that it on that pole on the left side of the building? Would have loved to see how they actually got that Engine from the road to where it is sitting now in the fenced off area, had to be done by crane, right?
Yes that is the camera at the 1:32-:133 mark. The white thing on top of the pole. I actually looked back on the camera and could see my drone flying by! 😂
Where are you picking up the audio? Ground level somewhere. It’s not from the drone. If it was, it would sound like angry bees. Stunning video. Thanks. New sub here.
Rudy Kukurin it all depends on how you fly it. If you’re moving around a lot 15-20mins. If your going slow and doing mostly hover it could last 30mins. Also temps play a role. I have 4 batteries so as soon as one is dead I swap out and start charging. Thanks!!😊
Nice job on the video. You could even see where there use to be a set of tracks between 1 And 2. I wonder if that is a plan addition or just shutting one set down vs the economy.
Never mind Chris, I found my answer by reading through the comments. This is by far still the best rail video on RU-vid, with the snakes coming in a close second. You're an excellent pilot and great at editing. Look forward to more!
I have only one question about engine controlling: How can be controlled 4 engines from one cab while 2 engines are at the end and approximately 100 cars are between both pairs of engine? Are radio controlled? Thanks for answer. Jan from Slovakia.
C Haack Productions O.k., if do I understand right, front (train) locomotives are coupled by AAR coupler and electrically by AAR MU (multiple unit) cables enable to controll from one cab. While the bank locomotives at the back are not electrically connected to front, just each other at the back, nor radio controlled, must be operated by onemore engineer. As compared as in my country. I guess a safety system at the rear engines must be disabled while the helpers are entering a track section on red/caution, and special trackside signals show where is required an extra power pushing up the train at steep track elevation. Thank You for answer.
jan fabian Some trains on other lines have rear or mid-train helpers that are radio controlled, but those stay as part of the train for its entire run. This particular line they're only needed for about a 50 mile stretch over the mountain, so they run as manned-helpers between Altoona to the east and Johnstown to the west. (someone please correct me if I'm wrong with the helper bases)
awesome video, but what's up with sound. It's sound like a fixed mic sitting somewhere, very disjointed being so close to the locos and not hearing them.
