Dusk in the Canyon. One of the best times to ride. It gets dark enough people can’t see you, still light enough for you to see out. The cool wind brings a sense of calm.

Winding along the Snake River near King Hill, ID. Up ahead, spring storms will turn into a snow squall as the train marches east towards Pocatello, ID.

Winding through the Feather River Canyon. Its amazing to witness first hand how much effort and labor went into cutting these train lines through mountains, forests, and rivers to connect the country. A true testament to a long-gone era.

Hitching a ride in the desert. No cell service. Without explanation, the driver suddenly swerves off to the shoulder, gets out, starts rummaging through his trunk. The sound of tools clanking together.
I was wondering if this was where I was to be put out to pasture. Do I jump out and run?

Right after sunset is my favorite time. Its light enough that you can see, but dark enough that no one can really see you. A nice time to let your guard down a bit and sit up and enjoy the scenery and feel the breeze.

A Stranger's Light Comes On Slowly
After your eyes adjust to the initial darkness after sunset, the full moon lights up the barren desert. The full beauty of the desert is illuminated in white-hued moonlight.

The people you meet along the way.
Complete strangers on their own journey, by the end of the night close friends. Sharing stories, beer, and a warm fire under a bridge. In the morning, we’ll hop on different trains. Likely to never cross paths again.

Awaiting departure.
Being still, quiet, and out of sight. All there is to do is look up at the night sky as the workers finish their inspections before the train pulls out of the yard. Hopefully you go unnoticed.

Stargazing from a train. Just you, and a billion stars. The rattling noises, the metal-on-metal groaning of the train, the railroad-smell of brake dust and creosote, all mixed into the cool night breeze. Heaven.

Small account in relative terms. But it’s alright.
Has been a year since I have uploaded a video last. I have 4 videos in the pipeline just no interest in finishing them right now, honestly.
