Western Railroad Discussion > Drone Foaming & Looking for BNSF Grain Train

Would anybody with information on train schedules/tracing be able to help me out?

I am looking for a grain (G) train that'll be coming through Fresno in the next few days. I am wanting to shoot video as it goes over the San Joaquin River. The shot would be something similar to this Amtrak shot we took a few weeks ago.This was shot with the DJI Inspire 1 craft. This is a 2 person drone, 1 to fly and 1 to operate the camera.

Any information would be greatly appreciated, feel free to inbox me with any information also.

Thanks!

Nice video, David! The DJI Inspire 1 quad copter sure looks like it can fly much faster that the Phantom 2 and the video looks better too. Nice job!
What's it like with two people at the controls? Seems like a lot of fun; one flying and the other shooting video...I love it!

Awesome video! You're much braver with your UAV than I would be. The results are very impressive. Hope you find the grain train and are able to share the results here on TO!

Wow is over used and doesn't begin to cover how impressive this video is. Great job!

Technology is amazing, isn't it? ...Hollywood-worthy footage at a fraction - nay, a SLIVER - of the price.
