A Winter Afternoon at Oakwood
In 2001 Canadian Pacific added the high-speed Oakwood crossovers in Caledonia, WI. These replaced the cross overs at Lake by the Milwaukee Airport Depot. This increased capacity on the C&M Subdivision and eliminated the 6½ Mile Road grade crossing. This location provides a great place to park and fly the drone without being bothered in one of the few remaining rural locations in southeast Wisconsin.
On a cold, dreary afternoon the winds were calm enough to put the drone in the air. Battery live in these temperatures is greatly reduced and the original DJI Mavic only lasted about 20 minutes in optimal conditions, so I ended up waiting until I hear the horn from one of the grade crossings on either side of me to get into the air. First, we captured Amtrak Hiawatha Service #338. Next, we have Canadian Pacific #149, an automotive & intermodal train that runs from Bensenville, IL to Roberts Bank, BC in a 1x1 configuration with a single CP unit up front and another single Union Pacific locomotive about 2/3 of the way back.
