Thanks 👍. We agree. Until we can afford James Earl Jones or Morgan Freeman there will be NO narration. 😂😂😂🙏. So many great videos are posted on RU-vid are ruined with narration.
Like many people, I deal with an inordinate amount of stress in my life. Your videos are so soothing and brilliantly put together. It allows me to to forget the crap in my life and escape for an hour. Thank you...
Something about this video makes me smile. It shows the beauty of America’s railroads, the calm music with no narration is awesome. Amazing work, it’s perfect
Thank you for this video of the BNSF southern transcon along the former Santa Fe Railroad from Seligman, Arizona to Needles, California. I enjoyed the trains and the scenery that they travel through. Thank you for the updates that you included in this version of the BNSF's Seligman Subdivision. I really enjoyed the information that you gave us about the Lhoist Nelson Lime Plant. The information about the uses of lime in our daily life was enlightening. Including the Nelson Tunnel was a bonus. The reason for the existence of the Nelson Tunnel was interesting. Thank you for also pointing out the former roadbed of the Santa Fe Railroad before the building of the Nelson Tunnel.
Thanks Thomas!!! We didn’t want to update the video so soon again but the Lhoisen Nelson plant is so important to the economy of the west that it really needed to be included and the tunnel I think is the only one on the Transcon at least thru Arizona?
Absolutely awesome. Your cinematography is just outstanding. Love the extra footage of Nelson and Kingman! You have certainly helped my project (modelling this area as it was in 1952). Thank you!
Amazing video, l love how the music with the video brings this hospitable land, beauty. The snow scene, brought a dynamic I have never seen in the Arizona desert. Had to watch a couple of times to see all the details of this parched land. Again what a amazing video. Can’t wait for the next one.
Parabens! The fantastic Arizona landscape in partnership with Chick-fil-a ads is quite a prize. It's pure speculation, but imagine dining car cuisine with a partnership of Fred Harvey and Chick-fil-a. The Chief would still be serving the public. More videos please. West of Seligman I was pressed into service during a work stoppage once as a conductor. I was too busy with track charts, the timetable, calling signals, monitoring the train, etc. to enjoy the trip, but, oh the memories!
If ever I hired out a cinema for an evening, to test things out I'd roll the footage from 12:05 on. I'm watching this on a 27" monitor and it looks amazing. On a cinema screen I'm not sure I'd be able to breathe. Words cannot describe how beautiful that is 😍
For the life of me, I cannot fathom why your videos haven't gone viral yet. Or, categorized as therapeutic videos.(fell into a nice nap lately) My word, you've managed to flawlessly mesh movement, scenery, drama and music into a fabulous work of art.
One of my railfan "Happy Places" is Kingman Canyon, part of my ashes are to be spread here, just off of Rt. 66 near the west main, on the rocks! Thank you for making this tremendous video some of my sacred places in Arizona! This are is really a rail fan paradise! Keep up the fantastic work.
What a great video , just incredible how you navigate the drone and the scenery is spectacular ! You captured many beautiful views including the bridges and canyons. I also liked seeing the CN GE Dash9CWL with the North America map scheme at around 43:50 crossing the bridge. Noce music too.Well done and good work ACME Cinematography .😊👍
Another amazing production -and so relaxing that I fell asleep! I just completed watching it a second time and, in addition to the artistic value, you shared some great information such as the lime factory. I was also highly impressed with your close-up shots of the flood-control structures at East Truxton. Other coverages of the flyover have never detailed those necessary structures. The Nelson Tunnel info was also great. I could could go on but will end with: anxiously waiting for the next one. Wishing you God’s blessings to stay safe and be well.
a challenge for @AcmeCinematography: how each locomotive is connected and controlled; how loads are loaded and unloaded; how to deal with broken trains on the tracks; what if the load is animal; what is the view from the driver's room. etc, from your sight. So far, your videos always show views from a distance, but they're pretty good. (sorry for english from gg translate)
Another great video. Thank you so much for your magnificent videos. They are perfect. Every element that you have put in them adds so much. You do excellent work!
REPORTAJES maravillosos sobre el Ferrocarril y les animo a que sigan deleitándonos con esta maravilla de paisajes, como pocas veces los he visto. Muchas gracias y adelante.
Oh here is the Seligman sub. I worked this run for 6 months. Man I loved going to work there. Go past Kingman East, there is a winding canyon, I think it’s on the Indian reservation. You won’t believe a train can climb up that way.
Parabéns por trazer esse lindo video da locomotiva e belas paisagens sou fã de trens e locomotivas sou aposentado na ferrovia aqui no brasil. Congratulations for bringing this beautiful video of the locomotive and beautiful landscapes I'm a fan of trains and locomotives I'm retired on the railroad here in Brazil
Wow ! To go from selling rocket pacs & roller skates & parachutes to Wylie Coyote to this ! You guys are amazing ! Please, tell us who you are, other than the Tim Janis of trains that is ! Nice work.
First and foremost, please accept my Heartiest Greetings, Congratulations and Best Wishes on Your Mind Boggling Presentation. It's indeed an Excellent Enterprising Extraordinary Emerging Evolving Railfanning Endeavor with lots of patience in every parameter. The visuals are continuously stunning and the live acoustics and the soothing music sound tracks are beyond the range of words or sentences. Hearty Greetings from Kakinada/Hyderabad, India 🇮🇳
Really nice and picturesque video AC! Living up here in Canada I also just discovered a pretty good video posted by Josh White which was taken in the canyons of British Columbia. Look for: Rail Fanning In The Thompson And Fraser River Canyons. Enjoy!
Thanks! We use DJI drones. Mostly mavic but there is some old phantom footage from a few years ago in that show. Our studio uses the full Adobe suite of products. Premiere. After affects. Illustrator and photoshop
Ah, real railroading!!!! The territory looks so different from the air than through a windshield 🤣. Kingman is a quiet zone,shouldn't hear too many horns. The tunnel at Nelson is the only one on the entire transcon. The curve at Truxton is a huge waste of money, none of us agree with it. Should have used it on track maintenance. I'll be out there working tonight 😅👍. Fantastic video!!!! Santa Fe all the way!
Thanks so much!! Yes kingman is quiet zone for sure which is probably a mistake safety wise ! The flyover I am guessing is for when traffic comes back ? Seems to me traffic is down last few months. Was just out there last week and seemed very slow :(
@@AcmeCinematography it was actually installed for the Gallup Sub so trains would be lined up properly into belen. It's on our sub because the other areas were too expensive lol.
Simply beautiful!! I wonder if you go thru Lamy, New Mexico to Raton? Would love to see that. In the 90s we lived in a house just off the tracks and my kids and I would run to the tracks when we heard the train coming and wave.
Beautifully done, thank you. However I have to admit, about 10 minutes in and after seeing the tops of the hills chopped off I simply could not take any more. Perhaps I am just not that strong but the destructive human effect on our beautiful country and world is sickening. Peace be with you.
Still not a huge fan of the music. Train sounds are music enough in train videos for me... I have 50 acres just east of the Nelson plant. It's just south of the grand canyon caverns airport. I go camping out there from time to time although not nearly as often as I'd like to. That's a long way away from Michigan 😕 in the background of your shots looking east it would be right at the edge of the green trees right along the rail line. After being harassed by the police in flagstaff for watching trains I just bought property so no one can chase me off. The same thing I ended up doing here in Michigan. I would love to put a cabin or something on my land in Arizona so I can set up a live stream similar to what I've done here. Next time you're in that area take some shots from the Crookton bridge on Rt66. Last time I was there they still have the old rt66 bridge there next to the modern one. I have a shot of an eb tail end dpu with the snow capped volcanos in the background as the lock screen on my phone. Your videos are giving me great ideas for new places to visit next time I get out there. I'm pretty sure I could walk to that Nelson tunnel from my property without too much trouble. A lot of the north side of the tracks through there is privately owned but the south side in that area is public hunting land or something to that effect. Property it wouldn't be a big deal to wander around anyway. Having a side by side out there could be a blast!
@Acme Cinematography If you ever want to film from my property I'd be happy to grant permission, just give me credit in the description or something. My email is in the description of my live stream. Just drop me a note if you'd like to go out there. You will need a 4x4 though, especially if there's any moisture on the ground. It's pretty remote! I had set up a cellular game camera out there just to see what kinda cool stuff was running around and get some shots of the trains but it quit working after a few months. I haven't been able to get back to trouble shoot it yet sadly.
someday we hope!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! please download this video for your personal use.. sadly the music license issues will require it to be removed by the end of this month..ugh.
