CSX Intermodel Train Video

[landscaping wiz 808]

I hope I have this in the correct part of the forum, if not please let me know and I'll repost in the appropriate location.... Anyway, while railfanning yesterday I was able to catch this CSX intermodel train going by at at about 45MPH just west of Brunswick, MD. I'm not too big into modern operations, but I know some of the people here are so I thought I'd post it.

If you like intermodel this is the video for you, if you like the CSX all the better, but I think anybody that enjoys a long train breaking a steep grade will like this. Sorry about the "shaky cam" and poor quality but I took it using the video feature on my camera and it was FREEZING COLD so my hands were shaking...

Enjoy - Bob

very cool. always love just hearing the rumbling noise coming from the engine! I shake when its cold too. I am thinking of investing in a tripod for my railfanning experience, even if its just for photos and not video.

I feel that a tripod is an absolute must have.

For stills and video.

I hate getting seasick watching hand held videos.

Even a monopod is better than hand held.

Me too, nothing quite like the ground shaking when those bad boys go by too!

Agreed, hence the preemptive apology for the shakyness. I was chasing that train in my truck and don't think I would've been able to set up a tripod in time. I might look into picking up a cheap one for future excursions.
