Video by Mike Gerenday

• Mike says about his video, "No. 4319 passes by the old Parks Highway crossing at Sunshine on 03/05/2018. I saw the tail end of it crossing Sheep Creek and I thought it was a freight train in the day, I turned around and drove to this spot just moments before the train came around the bend. Turns out it was the AuRoRa, and it was a mixed train, and we know mixed trains don't run often so I feel this video was worth the 20 plus mile trip out of my way".
