Crandell, that really is amazing considering the camera was out on a stick and you managed to keep the subject within the frame.
Very good!

It is the camera angle, Terry. I have the camera, which is a Canon Powershot, and not a videocam, held on the end of a length of wood for reach, and it is hard to control for angle in that I can't really see the viewfinder from where I must stand. So, the effect is greatly exaggerated.
In the overall view below, you can see the path the train is taking. It is against the far wall on the upper curve. There it is just under 2.9%, so it is steep, but not unrealistic by any means. The camera is low by the trestle at one point, but the way I had to hold it out, clear of the structures, meant that it was tilted somewhat as well as facing upward.

Is the grade really that steep or did you have the camera at an angle ?

Rule 2: I make the rules.
Rule 3: Illuminating discussion of prototype history, equipment and operating practices is always welcome, but in the event of visitor-perceived anacronisms, detail descrepancies or operating errors, consult RULE 1!
Like the cars Who makes them ?
Is that a Hudson Hornet poster on the office wall ?

Overdue to start the WPF, so I will give it a shot
At Honest Sam's in Greenvale Junction, a couple are looking at used cars. He is trying to convince her that the sporty maroon coupe is a better buy for a young couple than the practical tan sedan.
Of course this never happens in real life.
