Comments on: I have had my Mavic Pro drone for over 2 years now but really have not had much time (or too lazy) to get out and really learn to use it properly. I took the drone for a spin today. Thought I would do a photo where the tracks cross over one of the worlds busiest highway (401). Train 271 with SD75I 5707 starts its uphill climb to McCowans on the York Sub at Liverpool. I have operated many trains over this bridge in my years as a locomotive engineer.. Boy do I miss it.????

@homerjay84. Thank you sir. Appreciated. I think I just got lucky, as it was Easter Sunday around 3pm. I definitely know there was traffic on the 401 in both directions when i took the shot it was all about timing

I don’t think I have ever seen the 401 that empty…..I’m sure its nice going overtop of it during rush hours. Excellent Shot!

Thanks Joseph. It was my first real try at using the drone for railroad shots. I will try to improve as I learn more about how to use it for better photos. I know of lots of locations that I would love to get shots.I appreciate the kind words

Love the SD75′s. Nice there’s a lull in the action on the 401 for you!

Gads!! What a location!! I generally do not care much for drone shots but there obviously was no other way to get an angle like that.
