    Absolutely fascinating drone footage of how easy it is to lift a 400,000 lb locomotive uphill out of a river.

    They cut out the best part! It's fascinating how they flip a locomotive upright with all the people and machines working together.

    This is an impressive display of skills and teamwork as this locomotive is maneuvered back onto the ROW. Superb filming by the drone operators to share this operation with all of us desk jockeys. Thanks!

    Besides this fabulous footage,I’m amazed at how long the battery draw has been on the marker and headlight to be still lit…
  • @lancelane217

    That was a very complicated scene. Recovery was a very good job well done. What a way for that loco to end up, such a shame. Wish everyone well affected by this. ❤

    Excellent videography , ' must have required multiple battery changes for your quadcopter! Kudos to the heavy equipment guys also. Was that RJ Corman & Co. doing the heavy lifting ??? ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
