Another great video Red, and you definitely have a wasp nest in your bell cause every time you go to Ring it you can see them coming out of it lol but anyway, my friend you stay safe out there watch your back and we’ll see you on the next one brother

Hello Red, you still have flood water in the river. The CN freight train is very nice as it drives over the bridge and the dam. Your drone footage is great again. The flight over the river is fantastic, you can really see the flood water. So many things that are still under water. Thanks for your video and have a good time, best wishes Wolfgang

Hello Red, the UP freight trains and the little dogs that cheekily bark at your dogs are great. The track construction vehicles and the drone footage were fantastically filmed. It was a pleasure to watch your video.👍👍👍👍❤❤ I wish you a nice Sunday, stay healthy and best wishes. Wolfgang

A BNSF bridge is laying in the Big Sioux river north of Sioux City Ia.

The Cedar River is in flood stage! It is amazing to see all that water. The only way that you know that you know that you are looking at the dam is the fact that the water dips a little in one location. A few months ago, there was dry land at the base of the bridge piers. On 25 June 2024, the river water is around three feet below the top of the piers. What a difference a series of thunderstorms can make in the water level of the Cedar River. (29 June 2024 at 2337 CDT)

Nice video!

Your mistrey green hopper with a tarp over top of it is carrying cotton seed! And I'm sure its destination is lemars iowa. Love the footage

I need to break down and just meat up with ya. Hell I live in CF and now that my job let me go I've got nothing else going on

Great video Red. We had 7 inches of rain overnight a few days ago near crystal lake ia. Things are quite flooded in most of north iowa. Rapidan dam on the blue earth river in mn started with flood water debris stuck in dam and it didn't end well. I always wonder what's in that covered green car.

Such a shame to see CN beat that line...when I was with CC they put so much effort into rebuilding it

Impressive footage! Very well documented as usual, Red 👍💥💯🇺🇸

Nice drone shot. Cool video 👍❤️I’m subscribing

Wow how beautiful I'm super impressed and how clean your carts are and how lovely your rails are kept. Rock beds are just beautiful. °~•.☆.•~° The trains that run through in Wyoming show signs of neglect and zero maintenance. The length of the trains have been allowed feed the past couple years is also quite concerning. Just so you know Wyoming infrastructure sucks you're able to start your looks nice good job. °~•.☆.•~°

Man nothing says class like the Chickadee Clack of American tracks. At least it used to. All 1st World countries public transportation are based many on rail or track systems. Sadly America's infrastructure is now 3rd class because we did away with most of our tracks. °~•.☆.•~° Great Imaging dude 🤙🏼

sooo I text my wife that Blu Bunny is hi n dry tho all around is well saturated and flooded…… she said “thank goodness”

Sure glad Blu Bunny and all ok, I like it and doesn’t cost what Blu Bell does 🤔😉. Good coverage of one extreme to the other

Nice camera work. Starting around the 2:15 mark it appears CN has shored up the riverbank with a fresh, heavy dressing of new riprap rock? The riprap looks brand new without any signs of vegetation, and also seems to go fairly high up on the existing trees. Could be some quick preventative efforts to avoid the flood waters washing out the riverside track?

Getting concerned down in St. Louis and South to Chester, IL. Missouri River up North in Minnesota had recent Floods and will Merge with Mississippi River in STL.🤔

Great drone footage.

I've been wondering about the Cedar River there in Cedar Falls. Thanks for showing it Red! Better that log jam at the dam than against the RR bridge.

Excellent train action in your video! Like👍I sub your Channel!!! Have a good weekend. Cheers

Hi Red, Good shots.I guess the drought is NO MORE. Everything looks nice and green. 🚂🚂

Nice CN mixed freight on the cedar river bridge good river there in cedar falls Iowa red I love it 😄😄😄👍

Pretty nice CN mixed freight in the cedar river bridge good river there in cedar falls Iowa red I love it 😃😃😃👍

CN, UP & BNSF all shuttered between Le Mars and Sioux City along the Floyd River. But the Blue Bunny Ice Cream factory is safe-life is good

Last I heard CN, UP, BNSF all shuttered along the Floyd River between Le Mars and Sioux City. But the Blue Bunny Ice Cream factory is safe so life will go on.

I remember a few years ago, Grand Forks South Dakota had a flood emergency when a chemical barge broke loose, and got lodged. They had to activate the emergency sirens due to the nature of its contents, wonder if Cedar Falls would use their sirens in a flood emergency🤔🔈🔉🔊🔉🔈❔

Hi Red, i was watching Max velocity weather last night & he was mentioning storms tornadoes & flooding in Iowa over the past cuople of days actually, i was thinking about you & how you did not need any more storms. Its been pretty bad this season. I bet you are fed up with it now. That water is high do the tracks get flooded sometimes Red? The noise of the water is really powerful, hope everything ok with you. ❤😊

Just missed the flooding in Spencer last week.

Thanks for the video

I was watching the weather channel and they were talking about flooding in Iowa and was thinking about you. Hope everything is good. Another great video. That's the 2nd flood in that area in the past couple of months. Stay safe out there Red and remember in high water turn around don't drown.

DAAAANNNNGGGG!, thats some really turbulent water............lot of power behind it, too.

I would never build a home at the water's edge, anywhere. Cool footage. By the by, if water can flow freely over it, then it's a weir, not a damn.

You really got a horn show from the MOW equipment! Great video

They better think about closing all the bridges now before they have a major disaster. Did you see how close the water is to that gazebo?

Wow that intermodel was flying Red! Love to know how fast. Awesome sight. Like seeing the train changing tracks too, all the trains were great catches. ❤😊👍

Looks like the new Boat House is barely above water.

I can remember in '93 and '08 during worse flooding, they would park grain cars on the bridge to keep it from getting swept away.

🚂😎👍🚂

Hauling A$$ on the UP I see!!

Morning Red, That was a fantastic start of this video, a nice and long priority train. Had some decent power on her with two mid DPU's. Nice little horn salute on the westbound coal train with 3 DUPs with a total of 6 engines! I'm going to assume that was a loaded coal train?? Nevertheless it was a long one. Not many flat spots in those coal cars, maybe one or 2. Hahaha the good ol' Johnny on the spot, well a couple of them. Not to many places along the line with spots to take a dump in lol. Not a bad job, just stand there with a stop sign. I'd say making decent money doing so. Don't think they are complaining. Some of that MOW equipment had some loud horns. Some more nice power up front on that westbound stack UP after the MOW parade went by. That looked like a really short loaded coal train (1st one). Great video as always buddy, fantastic drone footage as usual. Cheers from Southern Ontario 🇨🇦

Thanks Red great WOW parade hope you will see them working

Another great video Red. That was like a movie. Great drone shots. Keep them coming. Have a good weekend. Stay safe out there.

16 June 2024 was a very busy Sunday on the Union Pacific's Clinton Subdivision through Montour, Iowa, Red! All the trains had to use track #1past Montour, Iowa during the time that the Tie Gang was wording on track#2 about four miles west of Montour, Iowa. Once the Tie Gang's equipment made its way to Tama, Iowa after a day's work, the dispatcher was able to move trains on track #2. I was surprised that the first train that used track #2 after it was available for use was a loaded coal train. I would have thought that the first train to run on track #2 would have been a lighter train. The dispatcher must have felt confident that the Tie Gang did their job well enough to send a loaded coal train as the first train on track #2. The drone footage was excellent as usual, Red! Thank you for uploading this video for us to enjoy! (29 June 2024 at 0021 CDT)

How do they make sure that the solid steel tie plates are put back in the proper inward track angle inward..????

A spectacular video today, Red! Lots of great trains and a parade of track repair equipment. Plenty of either fast or long trains, and several that were both! I thoroughly enjoyed your presentation ' Red, and I look forward to the next one. Have a great weekend and please stay safe out there. Tell Walter and Roger I said hey! 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Does the empty coal DPU just need tuned up that bad or is it something else, Red? 🙂🙂

I think if I was a little dog like your neighbors are I wouldn't be barking at Walter and Roger like they are! 😮😮

Two good mixed manifests next. One turned into empty coal and the other had a load of cool plate steel! 😀😀😀😀😀❤❤❤❤❤

The parade of M.O.W. equipment was quite interesting. It's hard for me to imagine dreaming up equipment that could do the jobs they are designed to do. I guess that's why mechanical engineers need to go to 4 years of college to understand all of that. The intermodal that followed was long with lots of power. Good catches, Red! 😃😃😃😃❤❤❤❤
