Another great "toe tapping" music video, Roger! "Choo Choo Boogie" Noticed, too, that man walking after the consist passed him. A hobo?

I'm really amazed at how stable the shots at Windy Point are. Another great clip.

i think you could edit out about a minute and have a better video. I bet the guy walking is a railfan lookin for a better picture than the road gives.

We found over a lot of years the best results is 3 to 3 1/2 minutes. I build them to get the most looks. The walking was using his phone to take a photo or video of the train.

This one was another excellent video. I think the length of most of your videos is about perfect -- I love the fact that many show well before and after the train, gives a much better perspective. Then again, I could sit here sometimes and watch hours long video -- of course nothing else would get done. :lol: Thanks again for a great video, really looking forward to the four seasons when all done and put together.
