Though that prep plant building may be old, I am sure inside it has the latest machinery. Prep plants have come a long way from the 70s when you'd see screens/crushers, cyclones and thats about it. They have magnetic separators, flotation cells... and of course the crushers and cyclones are hi-tech and of course low emissions.

seeing the pacing of the train reminds me of a time I saw someone try and do that to a Metro-North on the Harlem Line that I was riding into NYC, They gave up when the train hit around 85mph. Only knew the speed because it was an older EMU where the driver cab had a window into the passenger cabin so I could see the speedometer. Because of course id sit up there to see how it was operated.

Funny how "back in the day" we lamented these "modern" loadouts vs. the old windowed tipples with coal company logos painted on the side. Now, they are the stuff nostalgia is made of. Don't forget to appreciate the coal hoppers. Where I live, it is nearly 100% round bottom coal gondolas. That high-bannered switch stand is also unheard of up this way (northern West Virginia). Nice job. The dreary winter day makes it even better!

Hey, I got a great suggestion for you very nice looking real fanning video but two strikes against you or maybe one take your damn writing that you write maybe leave it up on the screen a little bit longer but the main part structure your editing and put it up on top of the video so you can pause the video and you can read it instead of at the bottom of the screen when you pause a ton of other video clips and thumbnails come up and block it so you can’t read anything I know you can fix it. Maybe I’m not the only one that complained about it but maybe I am. Let me tell you it looks like you have a lot to say I wish I could read it.
