Nice video, the narration was a bit hard to hear in the beginning over the crossing bells and train sounds.

Nice little video, except......
352's crew does not go wye locos after they get into PNT account they don't have enough time left to work to do so.....usually, the only crew that wyes locos is 354's crew, unless the extra engine was used on either 351 or 353; then either the crew on 350 will wye their loco and put in on the equipment that will become 355--or an extra crew will be called in if 350's crew doesn't have enough time and they will wye the loco
so many variables....

Ditto - thought maybe it was my hearing more than anything, but yes, bring your vocal track higher in the mix.

I had a feeling I may have messed it up, I was mainly just going to talk about the swap happening with the engines being taken off and being put on, maybe I'll remaster it
