WASILLA, ALASKA: WHERE THAT LONESOME WHISTLE BLOWS

Sancho eye view of this morning’s empty northbound Alaska Railroad gravel train. One day I must catch it with a full load. I need an array of Sanchos, telephoto zoom as well as this wide angle, the new Mini 3 Pro with its capability to shoot in portrait mode. At the very least, a basic standby Sancho and standby controller I can immediately throw into action whenever Sancho or controller suffers a mishap and is put out of action. A Sancho that can safely fly in rain and snow, or even take a dive in the ocean and come up saying and smiling would be good, too.

I am determined to make certain Sancho is never put out of action by accident again, but I know sooner or later Sancho will.

I should note the locomotive seen here is going backwards, pushing not pulling. The lead locomotive has chugged on past and is out of sight.
