Two BNSF Intermodals meet at Canyon Diablo Bridge

A busy day at the Canyon Diablo Bridge. Three trains were present at the bridge area. One pulled up and went off to the third track there, another pulled up from the east and waited for a moment. Finally the Westbound gets the green and he begins to move. Once his engines are past the bridge, an eastbound comes flying past, en route to Winslow. The Westbound train is managed by BNSF 6829 (ES44C4), 7309 (ES44DC), 8376 (ES44C4), 5026 and 4816 (both C44-9W's). The Eastbound is managed by BNSF 7284 (ES44DC), 6979 (ES44C4), 5227 (C44-9W), 3847 (ET44C4) and 7507 (ES44DC) and is wasting no time getting down the rails. Our general camera position coordinates are 35°10'00.0"N 111°07'36.6"W, and we're using two Sony PMW-EX3's, and three Canon HF20's. Five camera streams are almost too much rigamarole to try to sequence and edit together. However purely on principle, I DID manage to get something from EACH of the cameras into the final.
