It's amazing what can go wrong when you try to stage a video! This is take 4 of 5 that I shot last night, and despite it's flaws, is the best of the lot. The WM freight that's moving away from the camera decides to stop briefly at about 23 seconds, and I got a little shock when I flipped the toggle switch to change the signal from green to red (the signals will eventually be automated - I wired them up for the video with a 12VDC transformer, a bunch of jumper wires, and a toggle switch - so basically, I had a bunch of bare live wire in one hand). Anyway, this is a little look at some main line running past the coal mine area.

A Short Video
Thought I'd post a little video - watch it full screen HD at YouTube.
