California High-Speed Rail #15 Complete Drone Coverage Downtown Fresno to San Joaquin River Viaduct

Here's #7 in my CHSR Every Inch series. This starts near downtown Fresno and the closest I could get to the Cedar Ave Viaduct because of an airport no drone zone. This ends at the San Joaquin River Viaduct.

This is a long one :) There is so much to see and not a lot of opportunities to speed up the videos. The drone flies at about 26 mph max. In most of my previous videos, I speed it up 200% in the interesting parts and 800% in between. For this one, the interesting parts were left at 100% or only up to 200% and the less interesting parts are only up to 400% speed.

For those who don't know, Golden State Blvd ran for 100s of miles, paralleling the Union Pacific line through most of the Central Valley. Over the decades, Golden State Blvd was widened or realigned and eventually got numbered as Highway 99. Where it got realigned, much of old Golden State Blvd still exists as a Highway 99 "Business Route". This is the road in the second half of the video that is right next to the UP line and is in various states of realignment or removal to make room for HSR.

Next weekend, Deer Creek Viaduct to probably Poso Creek Viaduct. After that, probably only one more video in each direction. Then start from the beginning again. I'm thinking about shooting the second round with little to no orbits, just slow downs in the interesting areas, to cover more ground per video.
