These were all recorded March last year, SPOILERS FOR REAL LIFE Donna abandoned this nest not too long after these had been filmed. Never learned why. Her or a different dove did setup a couple more over the year. Won't be too long before the first of this next gen sets up on this old gal, a GP9 built during the Eisenhower Administration

Most of the like 8 or so nests I've seen on this have been successful

that is so interesting! sorry, I'm late to the post, but how do they feed the kiddos (and themselves) on a moving train? like somebody else asked, can the dad even find the nest?

u/Tattycakes 12d ago

Possibly she realised a moving vehicle wasn’t a good nest site. Possibly. 🤭

u/Wernerhatcher 11d ago

Didn't stop her before or after

Is Donna gonna survive this whole experience? or is this train eventually getting up to 60 MPH or something? I need to know, I'm getting way too invested.

u/Wernerhatcher 12d ago

We're an industrial switching operation, never exceeding 10 mph, parking in the same spot every day. Donna had been there for about a week before I took this video. See my other comment in this thread for more information

u/corgirl1966 12d ago

Phew! I'm gonna make some popcorn and settle in then, thanks for reassuring me.

u/Additional_Mango_529 12d ago

How far away does the train go in any given day? And what times approximately? I wonder if when the dad takes off in the morning the train is back in the same place for his night shift. Thank you in advance.
