Great stuff.
Description follows............
The long awaited supercut is finally done and will be airing 1 part as a time every week in February! This section focuses on the lines around Bakersfield all the way to Caliente, a distance of 24 miles by rail. Featured in this video are high speed action along the relatively flat running through the last miles of the San Joaquin Valley, with cameos from San Joaquin Valley Railroad trains, Amtrak California service trains running to Bakersfield, and much more!
