www.readingnorthern.com Special Thanks to the Reading & Northern Crew, Chris Blaszczyk & Andrew Blaszczyk. *Pardon for the shaky in-cab footage, my mistake for not rigging the in-cab camera correctly.
Hi. My boy is almost two and he loves to watch trains. You have to love RU-vid where you can watch train footage with the click of the mouse. Well after many hours of watching many train videos, I have come to a conclusion. You have by far the best videos. The best angles and setups. The best editing by far. Thank you for a such great pieces and sharing.
I never rode in the cab. I set up a camera rig that allowed me to position a camera in the cab... It was my first time really using it and I didn't set it up 100% correctly, thus resulting in the awful shaking.
Very enjoyable. The sound is fantastic. The lighting in the cab shots is also very good. Often, in-cab shots are back-lit and very dark, but yours photographed beautifully. Keep sharing!
Your videos are all great, but this one is our favorite, from the horses running along and tripping (And kicking each other), to the shot at the 4:12 mark when it enters the tunnel and you cut right to the cab with the noise and bouncing around, to the shot at the end with the kayakers in the water. Just great. I like the shaky cab. Ride looks so smooth from the side of the track, so it's fun to see how non-smooth it is in the cab.
Wow, I love horses, that just made my day with that beginning shot. I can't believe they took her up to 50 MPH today, with no ditchlights and all, imagine the lawsuit that could come out of that...
Len if you think a pacific rides rough then u have never rode on an engine without a trailing truck. The 425 is a Cadillac compared to other engines. Nice video Joe, you did the best you could with the camera setup. Kinda of a last minute thing.
Really? Wow, I thought it applied for all locomotives above 20 MPH on a grade crossing; that's great news, thanks. I was told she reached 50 MPH, but still, 40 must have been one heck of a ride on that crappy track. Hope you had a lot of fun.
Joe, your going to have shacks regardless it's mounted in a 4-6-2 . The engine rides rough to start with. So don't worrie about it. It's Great video! Len.
Yeah Joe, the shaking will probably be considered "normal". If you watch some Mark 1 productions with in-cab or engine-mounted shots, you will see alot of shaking.
