4-9-15 Movie Shoot continues???....

[Larry Gibson]

Looks like the semi is in the parking lot while 463 steams outside the shop. Perhaps another interesting day in the yard.
Hopefully Larry Sullivan will get a few videos of the events for those who miss it live.

[Larry Sullivan]

#463 may be a little cranky today. 7am local time was coming to the ash pit, didn't quite make it that far then backed to the shop again. #15 doing some moving in the yard now, and you hear off and on air noise from 463. Nice smoke show coming out this morning though.

[Doug Frederick]

Three days, I heard.

Rumor control.

[Doug Frederick]

Not to be an anarchist, or anything, but they're pretty obviously rigging one of these cars with demo.

[Jason Rose]

What the deuce? Did they "blow it up?"

I sure hope Larry recorded that.

[Doug Frederick]

Not yet. It's the fourth car back, and the open gondola behind it is full of extinguishers.

[Larry Sullivan]

What the deuce? Did they "blow it up?"

I sure hope Larry recorded that.

Both cams are being recorded, I have to leave for work in about an hour if something happens someone give me a time frame and I'll find the vid when I get back home. Anything in the next hour or so I'll be here.

[Doug Frederick]

[Jason Rose]

Thanks gents. I'm stuck in a meeting.

[Larry Sullivan]

One of several runs they have made by the depot, backup and run forward. They did this yesterday a few times as well.

[Larry Sullivan]

Bringing lights down to the north end of the yard, likely night shoot tonight?

[Doug Frederick]

I talked to the demo tech (combat engineer talk), and he said that around 4pm mountain time, when the train is turned, and backing across the station to the north, they will blow the car up at the north end of the yard.
The time was very approximate, but he said they would be working on the car for about 45 mins before they blew it.
I got the impression it would be on the far side of the water tower.

Thanks Doug! I won't be here but hopefully if internet and cams cooperate it will be recorded! Appreciate the headsup.

[Doug Frederick]

Larry, they're gonna blow it north of the first grade crossing, anyway.

:-(

Bummer.

I guess we're relying on you, Doug! Roger is out-of-town.

[Larry Gibson]

At around 2:20 local time the turned train backed out of the north yard. As noted earlier fire extinguishers in open gon behind the old boxcar coach that is rigged to exploded.. At 2:30 local time train is out of camera range east of yard.

[Doug Frederick]

Sadly, the train is in just about the worst position to be seen from the road.

[Rich Murray]

Ed Beaudettee had a front row seat. (must of rattled their windows)

[Doug Frederick]

No boom yet. Ed has lots of guests.

[Doug Frederick]

Just missed it, but it wasn't much. I'll post the video when figure out how.

[Larry Sullivan]

Video of the trains departure from the yard. As I'm posting this the train just returned -- will have that video up shortly.

[Larry Gibson]

463Xreturned at 6:44 local time.

463Xreturned at 6:44 local time.

You are quick sir! Thank you! Here's the video, was working on getting the departure posted didn't catch the very beginning of the return. The car that was exploded doesn't look too bad, have to see the show to find out what it looks like there! Movie folks can do some pretty spectacular effects.

[Farol Henkle]

Thanks for posting Larry! When it left, at least it's whistle sounded much better, too!

[Larry Gibson]

Film crew is setting up in north yard for night shoot now.

[Larry Gibson]

Lights, Camera, Action.... Train pulls down for shoot at about 8:00 PM local time.

[Larry Gibson]

Possible explosive burst of light during shoot between yard tracks and RT 17.

[Larry Gibson]

At 9:30 the train backed down by the tipple with actors setting up a scene here. Lots of flashlights on and off the train.

Shortly after train pulled ahead past the water tank into the lighted area. Shoot continues near 10:30 local time.

[Larry Gibson]

Past 11:00 local time and heading to midnight as shoot continues. My coverage is ending for now. Someone watching later please note the time they broke it off. Good Night!

Thank you sir for your efforts tonight! I'll attempt to post something when they are done, watching from work as I can.

463 is heading for the shop at 11:57pm

[Larry Sullivan]

Train returned to station at 11:50pm local. 463 now being put to bed for the night, with a stop at the ash pit.





The big movie lights finally shut down at about 12:45am, one light left on to help with cleanup, which was turned off around 2am.
