Hey everyone. Just finished editing this video of BNSF freight trains flying through Santa Ana Canyon in Southern California during the month of November. Hope you all enjoy.

Nice video- question for you (or anyone else who might know), what are those six equipment boxes along the ROW used for?  I've never seen anything quite like that before...

 There are two yellow signs visable, both indicate 50 MPH is allowed. The letters P and F on them mean Passenger and Freight.

D'oh! Thanks diningcar!

 

Watched it on my iPhone (sort of like watching in Z scale) and did not zoom in on those signs.
