Phoenix huh? Maybe you can solve a mystery for me. I live in Gilbert and if you've been here, you know the town is diagonally divided in half by UP tracks. I have to drive on Val Vista south of Warner road to go back and forth from and to my house, quite often. I've been stopped at the RR crossing a million times as freight trains barrel by, at times Amtrak passes through. But that's impossible because Amtrak has no routes that go into the Phoenix area. Maricopa and Flagstaff yes, but Phoenix No. What am I seeing then if Amtrak supposedly runs no trains on this set of tracks. The train when I've seen it passes the crossing anytime from Midnight to 2: 30am. Every night a train freight or Amtrak, I don't know, but I can hear it since my house is closeby. Do you have any idea what Amtrak train might be passing through? And why it's on theses tracks rather than those in Maricopa.

Who,
PHX, you do a great job Sharp resolution and beautiful country. I especially like the shots away from grade crossings; no crossing gate bells or train whistles, just the throbbing of the engines under load. Thanks for taking the time to walk a bit. Not everyone does.

Love the videos. But my main complaint with almost all these rail fanning videos on You tube is the wind noise in the background. Very annoying because its so easy to eliminate without destroying the sound of the trains that we love to hear. Look into it please.

Excellent work. The grain? Train 1: 00: 00 working up that grade was most impressive. I love seeing heavy trains crawl up hills like that. What a display of power
