    Very cool!!

    Amazing how you can see all the little details in the real world from up there that you don't normally see at ground level.

    … admittedly, one of my next major disposable income purchases! Sadly, my dog's health needs will put that on the waaaaay back burner!

    OK, sorry to throw a wet blanket... but Jeanette PA is within five miles of an airport or helipad. Drone operations require notification of the tower or helipad operator.

    Also, no operating within 100 yards of people, or over persons not part of the flight crew.

    Really cool video, but please learn the rules and all that...

    I don't often get out to trainwatch on busy mainlines and now see that DPU power is being used on intermodal trains. Neat! Probably a result of the monster-length trains being built these days. Neat too that we can see traces of the mighty PRR four track main.

    By the way, great choice of music too. YouTube soundtracks of loud and monotonous rock music have become a family joke and it's nice to find that someone broke the mold.

    Thank you for posting this DJ!

    Slightly less wet blanket...

    room for interpretation within a reasonable margin... easier to beg forgiveness than ask permission. Not advocating anarchy or foolish behavior but certain rules/laws defer to a low common denominator (you can't swing a dead cat here without hitting a pad or strip (including USAF) yet drones operate (commercial and private)). Just sayin'

    My drone warns me within the area. For example, today in McKeesport, since I was within 1 mile of helipad it said my max altitude was 196'. I stayed at 80' high. 5 miles would be west mifflin and Pgh int airport.
