Well if that's a "failure" it's one of the best failure's I've seen in a long time!

Your camera angles are good, you picked good times of day to film as the lighting's excellent for the trains and the stern beauty of the winter landscape, your editing's good as well.

Intentional or not I enjoyed the comedic aspects of the sped-up video segments, that is, running to catch the train with the "chimpmunk" voice background and the high-speed car "chase."

Nicely done Harrison!

By the way, does anyone besides me find those "monster trains" disquieting?  They make me nervous, but then I'm not in the business, so what do I know?
