And a truly great piece of music.

OK, that makes sense.  Another suggestion, try it again if the D&G runs a Halloween train with pumpkins all over the place.  That'd be creepy!

I've never heard "Nocturnal."  For me the champ in creepy music is Bachs "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor", so well known to monster movie fans!

Just a little constructive critisism, no offense intended.

The photography's good, very good indeed, but if some of it was shot with a drone it didn't seem to be very "drone-y", if you know what I mean.  I was expecting some aerial shots, pacing and other wise.

I found the music a bit bizarre for a rail video.  As a matter of fact it seemed bizarre to begin with.  What is it?

A pretty good effort though.

 

Thanks for the comments.  Your comments regarding the drone are certainly correct.  I'm still learning to use it and there were several power lines in the area which made it difficult to use.  

I did this video as a setting for the music instead of the music complementing the video.  I heard this piece when I was a kid and always thought it was creepy and would make a good setting for an old steam train.  The setup at Hermosa with the old water tower and cars on the siding seemed to work.  This was designed to be an artistic work featuring some of the things that I really like such as trains, music, and videography.  The music is Nocturnal after John Dowling Op 70.
