Drone track inspectors and whatever comes into view.

If I was a railfan shooting pictures and a drone came

over my head I might head for my car. Good thing

I took a lot of railroad picture before it came to this.

The Drones are going to be unleashed by the railroads

in fleets real soon.

Do you know how much fun it's going to be if I see drones flying around? I'm still an awesome shot with an AR-15...

I can think of many good applications/uses of a drone on the
many miles of railroad track out in desert or in nowhere.
Think the railroads are going to invest heavily in drones
starting right now. Glad I'm on the outside "looking-in"
right now and see how this transpires. Good to know
what a drone sounds like.

 As a former combat infantryman, I would remain concealed in my drone destruction quest. A camera would never see the aggressor...

So everybody needs training on what a drone "nearby" sounds
like..I mean..how do you know what it is. The one thing that
is assured is that it has survalience capabilties and whatever
it gathers may find you in the picture someday. The "other-side"
of fantastic railroad video posted to date on YouTube. This
technology will have every railroad utilizing it. So in the
meantime drones flying around every major railyard 24/7
like a helicopter with less noise and nobody "aboard" to get
killed if somebody like Blackdog was to draw his weapon and
try to change things. The drones are here to stay and if a
railroader today needs even more scrutiny for a days pay.

Draw my weapon? I can't even draw my own conclusions.
