Some really nice photos here. Be sure your computer speakers are switched on:

Can you identify the trains?

I think a couple of shots of the Canadian Pacific through the Canadian Rockies. One of the Coast Daylight, somewhere. Possibly the Durango/Silverton near the end.

Thank you Richard.

I was sent this material shortly before Xmas by some non-fan friends, but theirs was a Power Point presentation. I've never had Excel (have used Lotus since about 1985) so I was unable to open it.

Now that you located it on You Tube for us, It is absolutely beautiful and one of the finest railroad related multimedia presentations I have been privileged to view. Although this material has religious overtones (the friends who sent it to me have a strong religious faith), should you choose, try to think of the material as inspiring, yet non-sectarian.

The night photography is stunning.....rivaling the great Winston Link.

Gotta admit that the highlight of any Military Tattoo for me is a performance of 'Amazing Grace' with massed bands and BAGPIPES...... ponies entirely optional!

That photo at :55 is a Talgo during an ice storm. I can't identify the exact location, but based on the fact that it's a single track segment, it's likely somewhere between Everett and Vancouver BC on BNSF or south of Portland on UP.
