Here is a pic that offers a sneak peek of a new video that I'm working on.

Many years ago, I went on a road & rail trip across the Pacific Northwestern U.S. to film what remained of what was once the world's longest electrified railroad - The Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific Railroad, also known as the Milwaukee Road.

The video of that trip was filmed in Super 8mm film that I've converted to digitaI. I hope to have the editing done soon so keep an eye out for it on my YouTube channel link at https://www.youtube.com/@hiawathapete426/videos
