HD: Cross Country Road Trip Railfanning in September 2016

http://www.z-trains.com

The finale of Summer 2016 has arrived! After having some issues with my camera (hence the video being shorter than intended) I was finally able to take a break from classes and post this here to YouTube, but it'll probably be my last video for a while as school is really ramping up again and I don't have a ton of extra time. Anyways, description time!

A few weeks ago my father and I set out on a 6 day road trip across the United States to get me to Michigan for school this semester. We explored a number of new areas, and we caught trains in 8 states (out of the 9 that we passed through); California, Utah, Wyoming, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan! Featured in this video are trains curving along the ex Denver and Rio Grande Western lines through Utah, including the spectacular Green River Desert and Soldier Summit, UP trains passing through Sherman Hill and western Nebraska along the Oregon Trail and the original transcontinental railroad, BNSF trains conquering incredible Crawford Hill in northwestern Nebraska, UP and CP trains along the Mississippi in eastern Iowa, and much, MUCH more!!!
