For the first time in years, the famous Milwaukee Road 261 is back on the rails, pulling the Harvest BBQ Express! We'll not only chase this locomotive, but also get up in the cab, learn some neat facts, and watch as it steams down the rails.
The first place we'll get to see this spectacular locomotive is at the 261's home shop in Minneapolis, MN. I had the privilege, and opportunity to get in the cab, and get up close to it this neat steam engine! It has a cool connection to Johnny Depp in the cab. It's coal fired, and we'll see some coal being fed into the firebox before it takes to the rails. The next day this classy train is crossed the Mississippi River in Downtown Minneapolis in PERFECT morning sun. Following this, we'll chase it to Hopkins, and see the E9 switch cars with the 261. After this, there are a number of cool chase shots on the Twin Cities and Western Railroad. After not seeing this locomotive on the main for a little while, this was a GREAT sight! The photo run by scenes were equally neat with a mix of smoke, rain, and steam.
Check out the group that owns the 261; they have some great events coming up! 261.com

![Train Derailment in Big Lake
In the early morning hours, BNSF Railway had a high priority Z Train derail in Big Lake, MN. The train was moving at approximately 60mph when it occurred, and caused a number of cars to smash into each other. This has caused both main lines of the busy Staples Sub to be blocked, and out of service.
Well get an aerial view of the damage from the drone, and see how extensive the derailment was. All crew members on the train are safe, no one nearby was hurt, and the train wasnt carrying anything hazardous to the public. Amtrak is detouring trains, and if all goes well, the line should be open again in a day or two.

![ANGELPLAYA - PULL UP | Phonk | Trains and Phonk Mix [NCS Release]
Trains and PHONK mix, with lots of previously unreleased footage! This is a mashup, and mix, of some of my favorite drone clips, train snow plowing action, action shots, and other scebes from the last year or so. They were cut to the NCS release of PULL UP by ANGELPLAYA.
Scenes include The Missabe, Amtrak, Plow trains, BNSF, CP, Milw 261, CN, snow shots, and many others cut, and compiled into this mix. While the focus is mainly winter, some other shots are sprinkled in. If you guys enjoy this, I can do a few others like this in the future!
