Well I’m sure Don will appreciate your comments, why don’t you simply visit his channel and send him a message directly? We see each other occasionally, I can pass this along, as far as I know he hasn’t won the lottery yet but it otherwise doing well.

Thank you so much for posting these series of train rides!!!I lived in Reno for some years but never had the opportunity to ride the rails but living in Reno,my entire work life was around those train schedules and living according to their whistles and stops!Your series of rides over the rails is so great and gives people who would not have the experience- the opportunity to get a feel for BEING THERE.Wonderful footage -Can’t thank you enough for posting your series!Love it!

I hope Narodni Mstiteli is okay. I lived next to him in Reno and he is a gracious man and wonderful person. He is a dedicated historian for the city of Reno and regularly focuses on the Reno train scene and the social scene of Reno. It was an honor meeting him and living next to him along Idlewild Road in Reno. He is a retired gentleman. I hope he is okay. Narodnie please update us if you are okay. I am Hector’s Mother.Hector says Hi!!!

Where in the world is user/NarodnieMstiteli? He was supposed to be out there, that’s me telling everyone through minute 4 and especially at 5:08 to be on the lookout, and THE BUM WASN’T THERE (Don!)
