Wow, I loved it. What a great idea. I loved the way you arranged the sound. I'd love to see more routes condensed like this.

That was fun to watch.  My AT&T U-Verse internet stopped a couple of times to upload.  By coincidence a Charter Cable ad for faster internet appeared and has sorely tempted me to switch over to cable.  AT&T still uses the old two-wire line here, but Charter is available.

There are a couple similar videos I've seen made in England.  Same route but one in the steam era and the same route in more modern times.  Can't remember the routing and I can't find them now.

Changed over from AT&T U-Verse to Charter cable and watched again - MUCH BETTER and enjoyed this train ride video better the second time around.   The only stops were for the train stations, not uploading with whirling arrows.  Also, Charter fast internet cost less than AT&T!

Hey:
Midwest high speed rail has arrived. I watched it on AT&T U-Verse and had no problems. Great photo idea.

AT&T U-Verse only offers up to 18mbps here since they have a 25-year old buried line with only two wires working in our neighborhood.  The other two wire phone line portion failed and was disconnected by AT&T over two years ago.  I had the 12mbps offering costing me over $60 month for U-Verse internet only (add the land line for $45 month extra).  Charter gives me 60mbps internet for $29.95 month portioned into my bundle for TV and unlimited call land phone.  Without bundling, internet only would have been around $40 per month, still a saving over U-Verse.  Glad both of us saw the Hiawatha bullet train video.  Way to go, Amtrak!  Here is a link to test your internet speed.  Simply click on speed test: https://www.charter.com/browse/internet-service/internet
