BNSF4174-MatfieldGreen

What's this? A drone shot? WHAT????

 

Yes, a drone shot. This is my new toy thanks to a friendly seller and his friendly price when selling to me. I drove to the middle of Kansas yesterday afternoon to pick up the drone and practice flying it near an iconic transcon location: Matfield Green.

 

This is my first time being at this location on the railroad. I don't think I ever came through here on any trips with Dad when I was a kid, so I'm pretty positive this was the first time I got to see Matfield with my own eyes. Neat place, but unfortunately not a lot of places to shoot from the ground nowadays. Good thing I can fly now.

 

My first official photo is just railroad east of the small town and just west of Pioneer Bluff. The train is a H-KCKAMS with a nice touch with that GP60 trailing.

 

I will admit, drones are pretty cool. I think I am going to have fun with this thing....
