California High-Speed Rail #18 Round 2 Part 1 Complete Drone Coverage Shafter to Allensworth

Here's the first video in Round 2 of my Every Inch coverage of CHSR construction. This one starts near Shafter, at the far south end of CP4. I have never flown from here to Poso Creek. This one ends at the north end of CP4, in the middle of nowhere between Wasco and Allensworth. This one is essentially the entire CP4. I caught a pair of freight trains near the Wasco Viaduct. There's a cool looking pedestrian tunnel going under CHSR to get to the Amtrak Station. I typically fly these at 150' up. On a couple spots in this video, I fly down to about 20' or less from the ground. The drone flies at about 26 mph. The video between the interesting bits is sped up to 800%. I hoped that flying low like this may give a better perspective of what 208 mph may look like that close to the ground. I'm sorry to those who liked to crop labeling on previous videos. This one is pretty simple 80% of the bright green tree orchards are almonds. A few times you will see some dead or dormant grape crops. Mostly after Woollomes Ave, you will see different tree orchards but with dark green/brown leaves, those are Pistachios. Lastly, in the areas between planted crops, you will see lots of "Salsola tragus". You may know that plant by its common name: Tumbleweed :) Google Earth Map https://earth.google.com/earth/d/1pai... 00:00 South End of CP4, Poplar Ave, Merced Ave 01:21 Kimberlina Rd 01:53 Wasco Viaduct, TRAIN!!!, City of Wasco 03:27 Poso Ave, Wasco Amtrak Station, Highway 43 / 46 04:43 McCombs Rd, Last Canal Realignment, Get Low :) 06:05 Poso Creek Viaduct 07:07 Peterson Rd, Pond Rd 08:30 Near Woollomes Rd 09:16 Garces Highway, Get Low Again :) Scofield Ave 10:03 Kern to Tulare County Line, North End of CP4
