High Tech trainspotting

Fantastic on many levels. Incredible video photography but also educational for me - the loading gauge allows containers to be stacked two high, impossible in the UK.

Great stuff.

For as much as you see videos of double-stacking in the US, it's still not actually possible everywhere.  There are many routes where things like thru-truss bridges or tunnels prevent it.  For example, I work for CSX and just transferred from Charlotte to Richmond, which is on what's basically CSX's north->south superhighway on the east coast, the A-Line.  But somewhere north of us, around Baltimore I think, there's a tunnel with inadequate clearance for doublestacks.  So every intermodal that comes through here is single stacked only.

My Union Pacific 'N' gauge modelling son was recently gifted a new toy by his employer -  to act as an aerial filming platform

 

See my boy, and his toy ......

 

 

Wait until I tell him to forego hump back whales and get me some inland railroad footage.
