When I posted a video of the Alpine Tunnel engine house I included some drone footage filmed by David Moore who graciously allowed me to use the remaining footage that he had not already posted. Many enjoyed the footage and at least one person asked if Dave had flown his drone over the pass from West Portal to East Portal. Indeed he had.
This video includes the footage from that segment. I included a few titles to designate important points of interest (such as the summit of the pass, Mount Poor, and various railroad remains) and put a couple before and after shots of the line during operation.
I can't get over the majesty of the area every time I look at Dave's footage. I also can't get over the bravery (or foolishness-not sure!) of those who surveyed and built a railroad line over such treacherous terrain.
Enjoy!
Kurt
