Nice work Harrison! And your friend Corey's got some good camera presense!
Lithonia Operator You do an excellent job, Harrison. And your buddy is well-spoken, like you. Keep up the good work.

Thanks! He has his own YouTube channel where he narrates quite a bit, he's also much better at correcting himself without totally failing like I tend to do.

We're FINALLY home! Thank you very much to everyone who helped suggest locations/plan the trip. Although we did stop some places I didn't plan on (like shopping on the way down for WAY too long...), and we didn't stop other places I wanted to, it was still a super awesome time. The first video should be out shortly...

His grandparents live about six miles from me, and are longtime friends of mine. I'm looking forward to meeting him next time he visits.

I just thought I'd post a quick update. We've had a great trip so far (we left on Monday and we're coming home Saturday). I've been able to catch some trains every day so far, and each day I've uploaded an update/teaser video to my YouTube channel (link below). We're staying at the Red Caboose in Strasburg tonight and I can't wait to explore the area tomorrow.

Harrison I quite enjoy watching the video with my friends and followers and chatting with them. I also schedule it a half hour before a popular model railroad live stream, and we call it a "pre show".

BaltACD I am questioning your 'policy' of holding back activation of the videos you have downloaded. They are not the Grand Opening of 'Gone With the Wind' or 'Titanic', with all the attendent red carpet hoopla of a grand opening. Your videography and editing are improving - remember, the purpose of anything you publish is either to tell a story or to answer a question.

I understand that some people do not like or approve of "premieres" for various reasons. I have a weekly upload schedule, so if I was not premiering I would still be publishing the video on Friday. I hold off on creating a "premiere page" until the day of or the day before to prevent people from getting annoyed.

Would you even know they were coming if he didn't tell you?
Quite a few of us look forward to Harrison's Friday night premieres, and with everything going on in my life right now I appreciate the reminders.
Never too old to have a happy childhood!
Got a hot one dropping tomorrow night! Ferromex and a shout out from the crew over the radio.

Got something REALLY cool today, a Ferromex SD70ACe! Photos and video will be along at some point, for now here is what I uploaded to YouTube...

MidlandMike Harrison I tried adding some maps to this video. What do you think? Maps are much appreciated. I now know Peru is N of Port Kent. If that map had shown also Plattsburg I would have a better idea of the scale of the map and the relative location of Peru between the two main towns.

Thank you for the feedback! I should have included Plattsburgh and I will in the future.

adkrr64 Nice job, Mr. Harrison. I liked where you inserted the music when you started chase. Someone is going to get chewed out for leaving the rear door open on the BNSF DPU unit.

Thanks! To be honest I didn't even notice the door was open.
I will start a new series of single trains from the past that I've filmed starting tomorrow. I won't post all of these here, but they can be found on my YouTube. Stay tuned...
OvermodYou mean like Charlton Heston and The 6 ½ Commandments, or the Medium-Size Escape?
I might have guessed there were others besides "Tora-Tor!"
Flintlock76An interesting gimmick, but as the old joke went on a mini-TV the movie "Tora-Tora-Tora" came across as "Tora-Tor!"
Shades of Chevy Chase's discount phone, while we're on the general subject of phones... not brought to you by the number 5.
BaltACDI just mentioned the phone because some people, other than myself, view the forum from their phones.
It's getting to the point where people don't know how to use a "regular" computer, so enamored are they with their phones and tablets. And they may not even own a desktop or laptop computer...
We see this a lot on the Deshler cam.
BaltACDWas watching something that took your joke into another realm - "Torah, Torah, Torah".
"Fiddler On The Roof?" Great movie!
Flintlock76Well Balt, if your phone is the way you want to watch things on the YouTube that's up to you. I'd rather watch it on the lap-top with the MUCH bigger screen. Watching videos on a phone reminds me of those mini-TV's they came out with back in the 1970's.

I watch the 'in thread' videos - in thread and on my desk top which has a 17" screen. I just mentioned the phone because some people, other than myself, view the forum from their phones.

Harrison BaltACD Harrison Western Invasion on the D&H is out now. https://youtu.be/QgKf0slsMUQ I tried adding some maps to this video. What do you think? Captions printed on the video when viewed from the 'in thread' display needs to be in a larger font. I am sure when viewed in a normal YouTube screen the font size is more than adequate, however, when viewed 'in thread' it becomes fuzzy and very difficult to read - even with my bifocals. There should be a fullscreen button down in the lower right corner. That will make it as big as your device will go. I will make them slightly larger in the future when possible though.

I understand making it bigger in a 'new' YouTube screen and I stated the font was adequate for that. I am specifically talking about viewing the 'in thread' viewer.
I don't view much YouTube stuff on my phone, however, I suspect the in-screen captions would be even harder to view and read on a phone.
As a content producer - you have to think about comunicating across ALL the formats your content will be seen on.
I am not trying to argue - just reporting what I see.

Western Invasion on the D&H is out now.
Thanks Wayne. I'm also currently working on my first documentary of sorts. Stay tuned for that in the coming weeks...
Just missed it? Don't you just hate when that happens?
Looking forward to Friday!
Harrison, you're a breath of fresh air on this Forum, you know that?
Coming Friday at 7 PM...
