Cab Ride on the Texas State Railroad (9/26/15)

Unread postby Jason Rose » Mon Sep 28, 2015 10:28 am

Using my 40th birthday as an excuse to blow some money, I convinced my wife to let me book a cab ride on the TSR. I GoPro'd the whole trip and will put together a video when time permits.

Here a few photos:

Most of the time I still feel 18 or 20. Besides, 40 is the new 30, right? :smiley16:

Thanks guys.

I think the video will be pretty decent. I previewed some raw footage and it came out well. The GoPro is a handy little tool to have in the camera bag. I got a magnetic base for it and could easily mount it just about anywhere in the cab and on the tender. It was really easy!
