When the bounty of Heartland crops are harvested, much of the grain goes west. Destined for North American ports and then foreign shores, the first leg of that western trek is often aboard commodity cruisers, otherwise known as grain trains. Naturally, railfan/videographer Tom Danneman is poised to capture these heavy haulers in season, and as always, under Big Skies & Iron Rails —watch exclusively on Trains.com Video!

  1. Great shots and great scenery! It’s about time the West got more “respect” from Kalmbach publications (says this long-time Oregonian, who treasures memories of viewing Montana scenery from the dome cars of the NP North Coast Limited and the GN Empire Builder). — Peter McGraw

  2. Absolutely BEAUTIFUL scenes. A great photographer gets these awesome scenes!
    I really enjoyed watching this, especially since I have never been to these states

  3. Beautiful scenery and great photography. But could you remove the distracting music? I like to hear the railroad and natural sounds and not overlaid with music.

  4. Absolutely beautiful, a great start to my day in the Sunshine State. Very well done!! I am looking forward to more of these videos so keep up the great work.
