No, not really. Hyndman is at milepost 190.2, about 30 railroad miles from Garret.
Glad you liked the video.

GREAT, Thanks for sharing it with all of us here on TO.

Great video! I run this territory quite a bit and it amazes me how much different video and location angle makes this section look, as to me from inside the engine it looks completely different here. No where near as scenic from the train as compared to your video. Awesome shot!

Two questions . . was that a CSX guard dog barking in the opening clip? And also it looks like they plan to quadruple track in the first scene(?). As usual George, you posted a quality video.

Hi Craig,
First of all thanks for watching the video and thanks for the nice comment.
The dog was from one of the homes to the right of us, during the opening scene.
I have no idea about the tracks being quadrupled. But they sure like nice with almost full 20x zoom.

Thanks! Garrett from the old iron bridge overpass is very scenic. It's a great spot for railfans. Very friendly people too. Everyone that drove by us waved as they slowly drove by.
It's a really neat looking old iron bridge, kind of reminds me of the iron bridge at Cassandra without the tall extended guard rails.
Thanks for watching!
