Very enjoyable video H-J. I love those Canada grain hoppers.

Love the church in the fore-ground on that last one!
Wish someone would make those cylindrical hoppers commercially available!
Here is Part 2 with the grain train making its way around the loop. That is my very first HD video. Something for those who like to count the number of cars.
