This drone has a Go Pro camera mounted underneath and can go anywhere. The pilot was practicing flying in the high wind. I asked him to get the moon in perspective and he could put it wherever I asked. You can buy one yourself off the Internet. Amazing machine, but some concerns with that camera too.

One of the FRA geometry trains spent a little time in Altoona at the end of August.
The drone featured in this vignette.
It contains the secret ingredient for the Builders Lounge Iron Builder competition. My way of putting some pressure on Karf and Sly ;-)
Used to locate survivors in the ruins too toxic for humans.
The Cyrillic is supposed to read "Brave puppy".
Man I love building these Big Dog type drones!

Two former CSX low horsepower units (a switcher and a GP15T) and LTEX 1, which came from Metra. The SW1 was built for Illinois Central.
This is an experiment, probably the next level of "Neo Classic Space Era", a mecha pilotated trough the ment of the pilot that it can stay in a base without any danger to die, like a drone. Small mechas can operate in every condition and can be replaced simply

PRR 4913 has one of its two Leslie A-200 horns still installed. Note the front bracket is shop-made with a U bolt instead of the cast bracket Leslie sold with these. Makes me wonder if this bracket is the norm for GG1s.
My friend Catie and I tried something new last night - "painting" the sky with our drones. Pretty fun stuff!
A now obsolete repair drone. This automated craft was in heavy usage before magnetic hulls were banned by the solar council of 2218. Now these drones are used in illicit robot battles in the outer solar system.
SWOOOOSH...!
There are several very similar species of Eristalis drone flies and one of the best ways of telling them apart is by their faces, hence you need a head-on shot. There is a shiny stripe down the front of the face and this varies with species. This very thin stripe indicated that this is E. pertinax - one of the larger and commoner species.

Doc. Doolittle was out in our backyard flying his drone when a weather system began to move in. I captured this shot as the drone was preparing for a landing, under the capable hands of the pilot.
A Drone Show that was put on before the closing fireworks celebration at the 2022 Abbotsford Airshow. A hundred drones were programmed and synced to fly together and to form light pictures.
A drone shot from early this spring, after the snow but before the leaves. To top off the bland scenery, the railroad put the grubbiest GEVO they could find right in front of an EMD. Even the tier 4 would have been an improvement.
First try!

Mixed feelings
Drone footage is one of my favorite resources. When I worked in dam safety, I found it very helpful to understand a facility I hadn’t visited. However, the use of drones can be both a security risk and disruptive to those in the area.
Today I had my first negative drone experience. Generally, I tolerate them because I imagine they are fun to fly and I enjoy seeing others’ footage. However, this particular drone relentlessly hovered over me and my dog and scared him so badly that he ran away (and towards a road)! The run-in completely ruined our afternoon river interlude.
