The Long 2700’ Bridge is Freakin Impressive and is an Engineering Marvel from our Forefathers from over 100+ years ago. Thanks for sharing, Red. 👍🙏

Thanks red for showing me the bridge which is a good for it age of 120yrs and seeing all the industry and trains and the dogs as well and with your drones above the birds telling you to stay away from the nest Thanks

Awesome video

That’s nice a long fort dodge high bridge there in fort dodge Iowa nice CNW caboose there and yard actions and a rail there in eagle grove Iowa and great trains in montour Iowa red awesome trains 😎👍

Outstanding video of CGW memories! Haven't been ro Fort Dodge in some time. Thanks as always for your excellent work Red!

Thanks Red another great one

Wow Red that’s one long bridge 👍🏻. I see the gang is out . Ya it’s Smokey here aswell . Nice horn salute. Love the drone 👍🏻😎 Robin out .

Fantastic Red!! Thank You!

Hey Red ! Another great video . Nobody was wasting time passing your spot today . We love those high speed passings . As usual , excellent angle shots both on the ground and the drone making for an exciting video to watch . ( sorry about the smoke ) Your fans in the Great White North 🇨🇦

Kick ass video, Red!! Whole lot of content. Grain cars were running wild. I knew there had to be one CNW in the mix

Thx. Nice shots. Impressive bridge.

Would love to sit there with you and watch the trains. Good video Red. Cute digs too

Greetings Red: Great Video. Nice to see trains moving in your neck of the woods. With the strike taking place at the Port Of Vancouver B.C. Train traffic has slowed to a crawl, nothing is moving, in the past week we've had one train go by. It was mixed, no containers they are all in Vancouver and on the ships in the harbour. Those sealed gondolas are carrying contaminated dirty dirt. I really enjoy your video's and your drone footage. Excellent coverage from the ground and from the air. 🍁♂🏳‍🌈🌟✨🌟✨🌟

Very beautiful bridge

Excellent Video 📸😊

Very nice video keep up the great work

This is the first video that I have seen of the former Chicago Great Western High Bridge in Ft. Dodge, Iowa. When I saw the brief description of this video about a Union Pacific High Bridge, my first thought was the Kate Shelley Bridge. I was not aware of the High Bridge in Ft. Dodge. The Eagle Grove, Iowa Yard is a wonderful place to view with a drone. It looks like Union Pacific has a lot of business at the Eagle Grove Yard. Your railfanning in Montour, Iowa was filled with many trains. The mixed freight trains had a good variety of different freight cars. The intermodal trains are usually not that interesting to watch because each intermodal train usually has the same container cars as the last intermodal train. I enjoyed watching this video and thank you very much for the drone footage of the High Bridge in Ft. Dodge, Iowa.

Excellent video shot 👌

Morning Red. On behalf of all Canadians, I apologize for all the smoke you guys had. I stopped counting how many times you said "Canadian wild fires" lol. Fantastic drone videos. Not a bad size rail yard you videoed. Man that second train train was flying! That may be the fastest train I've seen you catch. Always keep your pants on and your stick on the ice they say, or something like that. Nice two DPUs on that auto rack train. Great video as always buddy. Cheers.

beautiful vid Red !! #boom

Nice

Outstanding view of that long high trestle, thank you!

Another great video Red. I really enjoyed the footage of the CGW bridge in Ft Dodge. I’ve only seen photos of it and didn’t appreciate the scale of it until your drone footage.

Really cool super long mixed freight with lots of hazmat. 😊😊😊

My grandparents lived a couple blocks from this spot. Remember as a kid in the late 60s/early70s watching trains from the eastern end, tried to walk across it once but got scared by the height. I would also hike down to the lower tracks and over to the dam on the river.

beautiful engineering. reminds me a lot of High Bridge Kentucky!

I've been over the former CGW bridge at Ft. Dodge several times back in the 1980s. I was an ultrasound, rail test car (a truck with rail gear) operator for the C&NW at the time. My job was to locate broken rails and internal defects. I'm thankful I took photos from when I traversed those tracks on the bridge so many years ago. Nice "bird's eye" view of the old bridge and thanks for sharing!

Pretty ❤😊

Another great video. I try and always look up the hazmat number you say out loud. Pretty interesting

1830/1832 is sulfuric acid, and you're right, that was a lot of it. More than enough to take out that big, ol' bridge. 😲

Hi, fantastic vidéos man welldone my name is Cherif I'm from Algiers north Africa.

Amazing bridge!👍 Nice work!

It is an awesome bridge though.

Great video Red! That's a great looking historic bridge! Man there was some fast long trains motoring through Montour! Looks like you need to arm that Drone with some bird take down capabilities! Have a great week mate! 🚂🇦🇺🇺🇸😎😎🚂

Red, Great to see a video from my part of the state. Too bad you didn’t catch any trains. Usually there is a lot more power tied up in Eagle Grove on the weekend. The west end of the yard is stubbed. It was part of the line that went west towards South Dakota. A portion of which is still operating by the UP between Rolfe and Marathon.

Minimum of 4 trains Monday through Friday. Not including grain or ethanol

Lots of very interesting long trains today. Great video today Red! 😊😊😊 The 3077 cars were likely contaminated soil on their way to a secure landfill. I always enjoy seeing your dogs. ❤😊😊 Tell them a Hoosier said hi. 😊

Fantastic. Great unfolding of a great bridge. I'm only 2:50 into it...

Dang, how many century bridges remain functional

Scary to cross !

Inscrita no Canal...saudações do Brasil 🇧🇷 Bela malha Ferroviária 👏👏🚂

Beautiful footage!! 120 years old!! I wonder if they've ever had problems with kids on it??

Easy way to figure distance; 1320 feet/quarter mile, 2640 feet/half mile, 3960 feet/ three quarters of mile, 5280 feet/one mile. Might come in handy for doing drone distance.

I think they know you in Montour. You got two salutes. Good shots of the CGW bridge in Ft. Dodge. That was CGW's line from Oelwein to Council Bluffs. You even got a close-up of the Kawasaki at the end. Nice video Red.

The power poles give the bridge height some definition on the high bridge. Ill have to check that out next time im in fort dodge

I've seen photos from near when it was built through today as the view doesn't really change. There is something special about the middle set of supports where it looks like Eiffel Tower supports. Very nice to see it in its entirety as some brush is growing up. 3 grain trains in a row is amazing and the surprise of a KCS unit which got to pull a former KCS (now COER) covered Hopper. A lot of empty gondolas going east probably for those three steel or aluminum slabs. Gon 2 was a black CNW car Those trains really kept blasting through and one train did have a higher-than-average # of contaminated soil cars as well as small dumpsters. In fact that 2 piece spine car near the end of the last W B train is for those little dumpsters. Great meet with the eastbound to wrap things up. Cant forget to say hi to the Furry Friends and when you photographed them you had just let them out as you could see their marks in the dew in the grass. Very nice items great tape. PS. If this is true in the next week or so Yellow Freight System May declare bankruptcy and or quit operations which will be odd considering how many trailers we see almost every tape

Very interesting as always! I wish the bridge was made of stone or concrete! I am truly sorry for the smoke our fires are causing! Are you coughing or choking a little like I was?

Need to Send you a Full Can of WASP Spray so we can Kill those WASPS around the Bell 🔔 once and for ALL. 😬👍 Thanks Red! 👍🙏

Red, do you ever get out to the high bridge west of Boone?

Being built in 1903 I would be very hesitant to drive my vehicle under that trestle when a train was crossing it. 😮

UP at Mountour is hauling ass

Maybe he's in a hurry to pick up corn before the prices go up 😅.

How fast was that train?

Red how would you know when the battery 🔋 on starts to get really low ?

how many trains are on the cn line

1830 sulfuric acid

23:02 they are for hauling trash. I don't like the idea of a train hauling trash. It's rarely uniformly loaded, there's no way to tell what's in it with 100% accuracy- what will the manifest say? "Garbage"? It could contain hidden hazmat that's not declared, unless it's been sorted honestly, I doubt it balances well, and really, dead material that has no further use doesn't belong on a train.
