    David, your rail videos are outstanding. I've been to the Horseshoe Curve many times but have never experienced it as seen through your aerial footage. I'm planning to do a small segment about the Horseshoe Curve history as part of one of my motorcycle riding videos on my channel. I was wondering if you might allow me to use some of your footage in my video? I can credit your channel onscreen somehow and add a link to your channel in the video description. I couldn't find an email address for you. You can get mine on my channel if you want to discuss. Regardless, great stuff. I've always liked trains but have never appreciated them in the manner you and other rail fans do. And I live in Central Pennsylvania.

    Awesome video! Ive been to deshler quite a few times and its a bit far away from where I live but i do go out there a couple times a year. Roughly 70 miles east of Deshler there's a hotspot in Greenwich, Ohio that is home to a somewhat similar layout to deshler however it offers up much better angles and has very similar traffic to it. Greenwich also has the unique quality of having Wheeling and Lake Erie trains run through at least once a day and the town has a very charming atmosphere to it like Deshler and is pretty railfan friendly. Greenwich goes under the radar a lot and it doesn't dissapoint. I would recommend going in the summer months as there's a park nearly with bathrooms that do close in the wintertime. There's no railpark here yet however with a new mayor in town that seems to be more receptive to the idea this may change.

      Yes, Toledo is a great place to watch trains! The main Norfolk Southern line through the city probably gets somewhere in the neighborhood of 50-60 trains per day. The bridge we recorded from is a pedestrian bridge just west of the Amtrak station and is practically underneath I-75. I heard a rumor that this bridge may be taken down sometime in the future, but for now, it provides great views of the station.
