I found myself by the Amtrak facilities in Oakland the other day. Here’s a little then-and-now. Former NJ Transit cars in the back, X Men in the middle.

Caught another J Train yesterday afternoon through Emerald Nebraska, a small town just west of Lincoln.  This one with 3 Fuselages and 4 Skyboxes.   
I returned to Emerald just before sunset and caught 4 coal trains (and an EB Oil train that was in sight before I had cameras set up) all within 20 minutes.  Two of them were literally back to back, and came while I had the drone acting as a tower cam.  If the battery didn't die half way through the second train, I think that footage would have been a cool timelapse.  Two NS Gevos close out the rear end DPU on the last train, and that does it for this one. 

After the J Train, try bumping the playback speed to 2x.  It's interesting what becomes more noticeable across the horizon at that speed.

This is just a quick mobile phone shot of Millendon Junction northeast of Perth, showing the dual gauge dual track main line heading east to the Wheatbelt and the narrow gauge line heading north to Geraldton parting ways.
