When a trek to Big Skies & Iron Rails is a tad too far to reach, railfan/videographer Tom Danneman opts to settle trackside at the very edge of the waterway that denotes the start of American’s western expanse. From his rental property (not a van!) down by the river, Tom and his crew take in the action on the mighty Mississippi River and along BNSF’s bustling water-level mainline route. Catch it all, as the cameras roll for a full 24 hours!
