No but I would be willing to do some conversions for free. Please send me a real email address we can use to communicate and send attachments back and forth. The autocad drawing needs to be set up in a certain way with colors and layer names.
Can you hear the sound in the ads that play before my video? Can you hear sound in my "CP Rail Ballast train with SD40 2 and Caboose june 1 2018" video? How about sound in any other videos on another channel? I could send you the mp3 if you give me email address.
For some strange reason I can’t hear it. I couldn’t hear it through the headphones either. Edit 12/29/23: Nevermind what I said, I just found out that I can still hear the audio once again when I googled it, but somehow for me it doesn’t play the audio on the RU-vid app, just the video which is very weird. Sorry for the confusion. Edit 5/14/24: I can finally hear the audio of this video through the YT app again.
In 1978 I worked on that bridge as a 17 yr old high school student- summer job. The year prior it caught on fire and had all it’s ties replaced at that time. I worked on resurfacing a couple of other CNR bridges in the following summers and can say that worker safety was not a priority with CNR into the early 80’s. I’m surprised no one got hurt back then
Gerard and Clayton at the 2:00 minute mark of the video is the Spanish River that we would swim at to the far right of the screen would be Pogamasing Pit.
Wonderful! I never got to ride on the Electric Railway. Born in 1949, but lived over on the North Shore. However, I was absolutely thrilled to see the Pacific Stage Line bus. They used to do a route from Downtown Vancouver to Horseshoe Bay same as the BC Transit Bus. As kids, we always used to wait for the Pacific Stage Line bus when we went downtown. Really comfortable, with posh leather seats. We used to call it the "sporting bus", although I can't for the life of me remember why. Love your narrative, pointing out all the stations, and where the new Translink stations are now. Thank you!
Can someone explain what is happening with the QM whistle/horn? Theoretically, that is the correct pitch of the whistle/horn, an A1 note, as per the manufacturers specifications. Going off what @AlexPaumen said in his timestamp, this was before the Tyfon Whistles were installed... I am interested to know the backstory here, and why it sounds very different to other recordings of the QM. OR was this recording from Long Beach, as that is how they sound on air, not steam? When was this sample recorded, the QM one?
It originally had the classic “organ whistle” Swanson called it. But it was changed over to the Tyfon horns sometime during WWII because in all of the photos of it during the War it had horns.
This is the south side from the logging road. When you get here you encounter a gate with a private property sign. Did you go in anyways. When I look on google earth, I only see one small building. I want to come here to take pictures too.
When more the valve opens on the AirChime one hears the volume get louder, but the pitch lowers. Is that from the cooling effect of expanding air? Conversely, the pitch of Steam Whistle increases with more power... Hot Steam heating the whistle/ raising the pitch? Or is it a pitch perception issue? From Wikipedia: Pitch depends to a lesser degree on the sound pressure level (loudness, volume) of the tone, especially at frequencies below 1,000 Hz and above 2,000 Hz. The pitch of lower tones gets lower as sound pressure increases. For instance, a tone of 200 Hz that is very loud seems one semitone lower in pitch than if it is just barely audible. Above 2,000 Hz, the pitch gets higher as the sound gets louder.[11] These results were obtained in the pioneering works by S. Stevens [12] and W. Snow.[13] Later investigations, i.e. by A. Cohen, had shown that in most cases the apparent pitch shifts were not significantly different from pitch‐matching errors. When averaged, the remaining shifts followed the directions of Stevens' curves but were small (2% or less by frequency, i.e. not more than a semitone).[14]
27:35 He said minor third but at 27:56 that's actually a major third from G-sharp and then a shorter E below it at the end. Good presentation, otherwise.
