Sometimes your patience gets rewarded -- you struck gold on this day. Minor point: those "international" trains are actually intermodals. All those 53-foot containers are designed for domestic use. There will come the day that some of the container ships will be modified to accommodate the 53-footers. BTW, nice video, thanks for posting.
A freight train and Amtrak racing, that must have been awesome :-) This was awesome, you were at the right place at the right time :-) A "BIG" thumbs up :-) Happy New Year :-) ROCK ON!!!!!!!
