Lots of foreign power, a rare UP SD70AH-T4 leader on NS 205, a SD70MACe leader on Q510, Pacing I150 and SO much more!

I enjoyed your video's David. Thank you for posting. Have you thought about adding some text boxes with the locations and perhaps train numbers?
PatC created a monster, 'cause nobody wants to see Don Simon no more they want AARR I'm chopped liver, well if you want AARR this is what I'll give ya, bad humor mixed with irrelevant info that'll make you roll your eyes quicker than a ~Z~ banhammer...

I have done that in the past, but it takes too much time to edit, like weeks.

Even just adding details in the comments area below the video to say which location each train was seen at would be a pretty welcome improvement.

What program are you using. Adding text really should take minutes not weeks on almost any editing program I can think of, even those on mobile. Unless your issue is figuring out train symbols (I used to TRY to do this but realistically it is more effort than it is worth) which can also be remedied by using leading unit and direction ex "NS 4362 West, Milbury, OH"

I use Corel VideoStudio 2021, I just like getting videos out on the some day I shot them, I also forget the train symbols very easily since I saw many trains unless it’s something noteworthy. I have lots of friends that don’t do captions, but I’ll start doing it.
