Rio Grande Scenic Railroad - Fake Driver’s Eye View - La Veta to Fir (Colorado) 

I'm glad you enjoyed the stunt driving. Its a great ride, I will try to do it again to capture a genuine driver's eye view.

Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed it.

If it's emptiness you want, we've got plenty to spare. I believe that only 2 other countries in the world live on a smaller percentage of their land than we Americans do. The first is our neighbors to the north, Canada, for obvious reasons. Pretty much everyone in that country lives close to the southern border. And then there's Australia, where the majority of the people live on one coast or another.

Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed it. This railway was an unexpected surprise, it was part of an arranged tour and I knew nothing about the line. Now I have seen it I would love to return and spend two or three days filming it.

Hiram Lofton hi

Sergio Pradella i Hi back at you Sergio.

Hiram Lofton ÌĹove it

Thank you, I'm really pleased you enjoyed it.

Hi, sorry I've taken so long to reply, I've only just found your comment. I was on a rail-tour covering the railways of Colorado, the Pikes Peak line closed shortly after my visit, happily the eventual outcome was a good one, hopefully trains will return to the Rio Grande Scenic Railroad, its too good to lose.

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Hi, glad you enjoyed it. Won't be long now until the blue skies and lazy days of summer return to your part of the world consigning the snowy start to spring you experienced to the video history of Admiralscorner.

Hello Hans, the car driver was amazing, such skill. Apart from the car there were very few clues that the film had been reversed. I used the sound recorded by the camera mounted on the engine for the climb from Alamosa to Fir. Best wishes from Tim in West Sussex.

Ďakujem vám za palec hore a všetky smajlíky :-) - Google Translate - Thank you for the thumbs up and all the smiley faces :-)

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I used Pinnacle 21 to reverse, remove the fish-eye effect and stretch the video to fit the frame. There are some shots in this video looking from the back of the train that show you how the video looked before I worked on it - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XrGV_FDqong.html. It pays to do one process at a time, I find that if I try to do everything at once, it is more than my computer can cope with.

Go pro studio allows you to reverse a video.

Hi, I've just watched a video showing the building of the White Pass and Yukon Route in Alaska. The guys who built these railroads had to put up with terrible working conditions, disease and being ripped off by com men, they have left the world a wonderful legacy as a result of their hard work and suffering.

I didn't know these railways even existed, it was a real bonus to ride them, the countryside they pass through is unlike anywhere else I've been, the rugged beauty has to be seen to be understood, I fell in love with Colorado. It must have been fun hopping freight trains, I wish some of the trains included one passenger car, because I'm sure there are plenty of people who would enjoy riding freight trains without the risk of being caught. I'd certainly be up for it 😊

@@Timsvideochannel1 Yeah, it's practically impossible to hop freights anymore. They've really tightened things up in the last 10 years. Not that I would even consider doing it again. I was still a young lad, fresh out of the Army when I did that. But I still remember it like it was yesterday. You really are good at spurring nostalgic memories with your awesome videos and thoughtful replies. I appreciate that immensely.

@@joydivisionisnotdead67 Some people have interesting stories to share, one guy who grew up near Lake Louise in Canada recalled as a kid the freight trains would slow down enough to let him throw himself and his bike into an empty box car, the driver of the freight would slow again at the point where the CN and CP lines were within sight of each other a few miles past Jasper to allow him to climb off, the process was reversed later in the day so that he could get home again, I couldn't imagine such a thing happening today. I'm guessing it was something he arranged with the driver in advance. The great thing about being young is that you feel invincible, you don't consider the dangers of train hopping, it's just another adventure, then as you get older and wiser you become more conservative, I wish I was young and care free again 😉

Thank you, I have altered the title to include Colorado.

Timsvideochannel1 Thanks, Tim.

You can always stop the video at the stations and take a look in Wikipedia. Makes the trip even more interesting.

Thank you I'm pleased you enjoyed it. I wish I'd had the cameras I have now back then, the one mounted on the front of the train didn't deal with the vibrarion wheras a modern camera with inbuilt stabilization would have coped, maybe I'll get another chance some day 😊.

Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed it.

Thank you.

Colorado is a rail fan's paradise, it is home to numerous heritage and private short line initiatives such as this one. I did have a camera on the locomotive, but the vibration from the engine was more than it could cope with, whereas the one a the back recorded well, so I played with the video editing settings and this video was the result, not ideal, but the next best thing.

Hi I'm pleased you enjoyed it. I can't be sure but I think the mountain is Mount Lindsey - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Lindsey There is another called Blanca Peak - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blanca_Peak - I hope this helps.

Thank you, I'm pleased you liked it.

Hi, I hadn't thought about the bugs, but now you mention it ... it also works for rain, no need for wind-shield wipers.

It's a nice ride, a great way to see the scenery.

I cheated, reverse sound isn't great to list to, so I combined the forward sound with the reversed video, not perfect, but reasonably convincing.

Thank you.

It's fake because it really a 'Guards Eye View' reversed to look like a Driver's Eye View'

Reversing the film gives some interesting results, I'm pleased you enjoyed it.

Cheers Bob.

"Yes" you are spot on 😉

"Yes", I'm pleased you enjoyed the ride.

There are a lot of advantages with filmimg from the back of the train, it's not dificult to get permission and if its raining the droplets are less likely the land on the lens. It can be very difficult to place the camera in the centre on a locomotive for many different reasons.

Thank you.

It does look nice.

"Yes" it was filmed backwards, hence the use of the word "Fake" in the title, the cars are a bit of a give away.

Thank you.

Glad you think so! 😊

@@Timsvideochannel1 yes

How are you

@@shivjotsidhusidhu363 I'm good thank you., I hope you are keeping well.

Colorado is an amazing place with some really interesting railways.

Timsvideochannel1 GOOD moning é realmente incrível a paisagem do colorado, neve, deserto, florestas assistir o seus vídeos é muito legal conhecendo os lugares de trem, faz lembrar o velho Oeste americano o filme Tombstone, o Brasil é pobre em ferrovias o país e propício para isso, tem de manda um Winston Churchill para o brasil congratulations for videos See you 🚂👍

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tombstone_%28film%29 Eu olhei para cima para ver onde foi filmado-Arizona. Muitos filmes cowboys, onde fez em Colorado usando a ferrovia Cumbres e tolteca, bem como o Durango e Silverton Rialway. Há uma sensação real do oeste selvagem ao lugar. Estou feliz que você gostou do vídeo, mas eu não posso ajudar com um Winston Churchill para o Brasil.

I did have a camera on the front of the train, but the vibration was too much for the camera to cope with, so reversing the one at the rear was the next best thing.

I missed that one.

O deserto tem o seu próprio tipo de beleza.

I think our commentator said the wagons will be left where they are because it was going to cost too much to recover them.

)))

Hi Chuck, I'm glad you liked it. Reversing the film can cause amusing moments, such as the mad car driver at 1:35

So, and people too, who walking backwards! hmm... this are their natural state... 😈

:-)

:-)

Ojalá la cámara del frente no hubiera fallado. Esta era la mejor alternativa.

@@Timsvideochannel1 😂😂😂 pero está muy bonito y original👍🏼

@@fernandomarques3711 Gracias 😉👍

To nie jest łatwe do jazdy szybko do tyłu :-)

14:46 Something appeared then went again, a reflection in the camera lens or a UFO - we'll never know, but a UFO sounds far more exciting.

Hi, I wish the camera on the front of the train had given a better result, I will post a driver's eye version but I will have to speed it up to reduce the effects of vibration.

And if he had edited out the reversing cars, you would have never known...make your own if you have nothing better to do. Thanks Tim for these great vids.

Hi, here are some links showing the Royal Gorge Scenic Railroad ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YpcJ6jJlz6o.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dIB6dPdMlGg.html

Oh dear, can't win them all 😥.
