Death to Squirrels, Long Live the K5HA

A slightly different style video today. A couple days ago I got my first real bit of railfanning done in a least a month chasing the Decatur and Eastern Illinois Railroad from Decatur to Camargo, IL. The entire chase will be uploaded later, but this either hilarious or unfortunate clip (depending on your affinity for squirrels) just couldn't wait. As the train was coming in hot to the 10mph speed restriction in La Place, a pair of squirrels tried to make it across. The second squirrel ended up getting cooked under the front plow near the far rail. Squirrels are pretty agile, but so it's possible it survived, but it didn't look likely. Leading the train was WAMX with its beautiful parts-built narrow font (narrow font 2 I think) Nathan K5HA.

I had some fun editing this video, and have another video from a while back that I might take a similar approach to.
