What are your favorite videos on youtube? Type in derail or "train snow" and you will see some interesting ones. Derail list showed an in cab offset headon at a passing siding,, not a favorite but an eye opener.

Modeling the "Fargo Area Rapid Transit" in O scale 3 rail.

There are so many that are worthy of my "favorite", but I'm real particular about what I think a great train video must contain and how it should be shot.

Here is on of my many "favorites": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wb63wPJGjTY

The Recorder, all the way.  From what I understand he had to remove his vids.  He had some very good one too.

I should've spent two hours yesterday afternoon watchin' YouTube train videos, instead of blowin' $3.99 on PPV to see No Country For Old Men.  Holy hotcakes that was a bad, bad movie.

Even though, I am not a CSX fan. I think this video was composed very well and the shots are great. Wow!! [wow]

Be careful what you post on this forum video-wise.  I've had a number of threads with video links deleted (the last time was last week, and I received NO explanation from whoever deleted it; it just disappeared).

I think that as long as the poster doesn't claim it as their own there should be no problem. Of course, I could be wrong.

Could Crandell, Tom, Erik or one of the other moderators please clarify?

Thank you

The Recorder works for Santa Fe and he was told to remove the videos from Youtube. They were good videos.

My favorite isn't train related.  I just found out I am on you tube.  Quite a shock although I doubt it will be one of the most visited.

This one is really good. I feel sorry that he had to freeze for several minutes.

I've just discovered the  TRIOCH videos.    I particularly like the short snippets  at the road crossings with the horns, bells & crossing gate bells.    The various consists on the trains.  Will be watching the start of a four loco unit train & then it switches to an 45 ton industrial engine.
