That is why I also suggested a Monopod.

It is cheep and simple.

It takes a lot of the shakes out of the video. Quick you do not even mount the camera to the monopod just setting the camera on a solid support helps.

Is it just me or on some of them do the flashers appear to be going off a real long time before the train actually shows up at the crossing?

[TPWRY]

i have a tripod im not goin to take the time to put it up sometimes i dont even have time i only use when seeing more than one train

[spikejones52002]

With all the videos you are taking.

Please buy a tripod.

A least try a monopod.

You can make a monopod easy for under $5.00.

Go to a Menards or Home Depot and buy a length of 3/4 white PVC, a end cap and a Button head 1/4-20 x 1/2 inch bolt. It would be better if you have a 1/4-20 tap. Drill a hole in the cap for the tap or clearence. Carefully put some greese on just the threads of the bolt. Epoxy the  1/4-20 x 1/2 bolt in the cap with the button head inside the cap.

After the epoxy hardens you can easly remove any run over off the threads because of the greese.

Now you can make several lengths of momopods. One for standing, one for sitting inside your car, and one to prop in your belt or on something else.

You can quickly interchange the different length into the cap.

[spikejones52002]

The second question was just a sarcastic way of wondering why people have to put music over the sound track of EVERYTHING.

[TPWRY]

the windmill train is a train full of windmill(wind turbine) parts in this case the the tower

no idea on second question

[spikejones52002]

What is a windmill train?

What kind of prime mover put out the twanging noise in some of those video clips? Is it the type of stack or maybe a supercharger gone haywire.

new one from this afternoon

[TPWRY]

hope you see some but TPW usually runs through there at night but you never know though the EB's usually come through eureka after dark and the WB's usually go through here about an hour after dawn gilman is over an hour away (RR speed which is 25 mph w/ 10 mph restrictions where needed) so they rarely go through gilman let alone watseka during the day 

[GTW4914]

Thanks TPWRY for the info, thats fasinating TP&W was always one of my favorite railroads, thanks for the video's, ill be down in watseka ill. and gilman ill. labor day weekend to railfan. thanks.

I think we're still running the 1500 on the Adirondack....  Haven't seen it in a while, though.
