@@mrmcku Thank you Martin. That’s really nice to know. With appreciation … Jay-Dee

It is beautiful

@@deniseelles4545 Thank you Denise … very much appreciated.

Hi Andrew ... to be quite honest, I don't know. I'm not a big train buff -- I'm interested in old or abandoned things. Sorry I can't answer your question. You may want to try asking someone at the Railway Museum of Eastern Ontario -- the tracks that the museum are located were the same tracks that crossed the bridge. They web site is rmeo.org . Hope this helps your curiosity.

@@AdventuresWithJayDee thanks! Actually wondered if they used it for a small gauge at some point or something.

OOPS! Sorry & thanks. I enjoy insects but I'm obviously not an entomologist. Thanks for pointing this out ... text has been corrected. With appreciation ... Jay-Dee

OOPS! Thanks for catching that and letting me know. Now corrected.

Thanks Phil.

Thanks Linda ... appreciate the feedback.

Noted.

I’m sorry … I don’t know. I stayed there for a week’s vacation but had no idea about who lived there. I picked the location because it was a small, quiet lake. Great question, though.

Sorry for all the questions, I may book it but there are no comments, just checking up trying to get more info, thanks.

No apologies necessary. If you go there, I hope you enjoy the time.

Thanks for subscribing & the feedback.

All aboard!

There is a good explanation of a guard lock on Wikipedia at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_lock

Thanks. That wasn’t me. That was a close friend who likes to clown around. There was a metal bike cutout and she pretended to ride it while I took the photo.

That would be a neat idea … I’d certainly love to ride those rails, even at the slow speed it uses.

Thank you.

You are very welcome ... hope you enjoyed the video. It was the first ice race I ever attended and you drivers were awesome.

I also took a lot of still images … enjoy … flic.kr/p/2naUbuD

Hi Matt & thanks for commenting on this. By coincidence, the day I was there, there was also a CN work crew who were working on the crossing. The crossing signal was turned off for both the hiking path and the crossing at the road.

Hi. This train typically goes across Woodruffe Avenue in the 10:00 am time range, but it can be later or earlier as it doesn’t compete with other rail traffic on the line. I’d hazard a guess that it would pass through McCarthy Woods around 9:30 am on Wednesdays. It doesn’t move fast … the top speed is limited to 25mph, and once it crosses Corkstown Road in the west end, it can only travel a maximum speed of 5mph. (I suspect that they do not want whatever is in the tank cars to spill!) And thanks for the question … you’ve help me trace the train back further east from Woodruffe Avenue. Take care.

@@AdventuresWithJayDee Wow.. A lot of info. thanks a lot for the help!

Ditto on the congrats.

+Jesse Cook Yes & no ... I looked at bits and pieces of them. They are quite long and I don't really have a lot of time to view long RUclips videos. My experience has been that people seem to like these types of videos when they are in the 5 to 6 minutes time range. Not to mention that I have a short attention span.

+Jay-Dee Purdie I did not really want to make them that long I just have a hard time cutting stuff out or knowing what to put in and what not to put in....My last atv vid I was able to make it an hour long instead of an hour and a half

+Jesse Cook Well, it is always a tough call on the decision of what to keep and what to chuck when it comes to photos and videos. I've been doing still photography for what seems like eons, and I tend to be extremely critical of my shots. I can easily go out and take several hundred shots and then come home and keep 3 or 4, and delete the rest. I've just applied the same philosophy to video. I posted a video recently titled "WindSisters 2016 International Female Ride Day" for my motorcycle group, and I had close to 300 photos and about 3 hours of video. The final result is about 5 minutes long. I find if these things are too long, people just move on.

+Jay-Dee Purdie Well about 20 years ago my parents bought a Motophoto which is a photo store where we developed and processed pictures from anyone that brought in a roll of film....I worked there for the hole 10 years that my parents owned it....So over that 10 years.....I got in to photography....So I guess you can say I'm an amateur photographer....The last 10 years I have not really taken that many photos & now i'm getting into taking vids of my atv rides....So I was all so extremely picky on my photographs....It was all way's hard to know which ones to keep....I am the type of guy that always pushes himself to make things better....I'm still learning about editing videos as I don't know much about it....But I think it's time to upgrade from GoPro Studio editing software to a different video editing software....So I can so more

+Jesse Cook Thanks Jess. Always appreciate the feedback. This was my first time-lapse and my second video. WOW! What a learning curve.

+Jay-Dee Purdie that's a type of video I haven't tried yet

+Jesse Cook Well, in all honesty, it isn't a time-lapse video, but a series of still images turned into a time-lapse via the iMovie software. I set my camera & tripod up on the roof of my condo and had it take a photo of the moon every minute, and then I just added them as a bunch of stills and saved them as a video.

+Jay-Dee Purdie Ok I understand

+Jesse Cook Thanks ... appreciate the feedback. I just started learning about video - taking them is a snap after a lifetime of photography, but editing the videos ... WOW ... that's a challenge!

+Jay-Dee Purdie Yes the editing a video takes a little getting used to the....But as you know taking a good video & if you can do a really good editing job it will turn your good video into an excellent video....So what video editing software are you using? When you add words, titles & the credits at the end of the video do you use a separate program to make those and then add them with your video editing software? or do you use the video editing software?

+Jesse Cook Hi Jesse ... well first of all I should explain that I did not spend a lot of time on this video ... it was a joke that I shared with the motorcycle group I belong to. We were chatting about the challenges of slow speed riding and it occurred to me that every time I ride in or our of my condo garage, I ride a slow-speed obstacle course. Anyway ... as for software, it is a mix-n-match affair depending on what I want and what the source of the video is. For a GoPro video, I use GoPro Studio as a starting point to "carve out" the clips of the full video that I want to use. Then I open these clips in PhotoShop CC and do a fine edit of them there, sometimes including the audio. To put a final video together I may use either iMovie or FotoMagico. If it is pretty much all video, I use iMovie, and if there is a large mix of video and stills, or just stills, I use FotoMagico. As for titles, I sometimes use images I create in PhotoShop, or I use the title options in FotoMagico or iMovie ... depends on what result I'm looking for.

+Jay-Dee Purdie Cool...Thanks....Right now I just use the GoPro Studio....I find it's not so good for the title....I heard Adobe has a pretty good video editing program....I can't remember what it's called at the moment....I heard it can handled a raw GoPro video

+Jesse Cook The Adobe video editing program is called Premium Pro and you can pay the monthly subscription fee of $19.99US/month or a one-time charge of hundreds of dollars. I've used it in a lab and it is really neat and powerful, but it is a lot of software and a high learning curve, unless you plan to really get into video editing. Are you on Windows or Mac? I used to be on Windows and flipped to Mac about a year ago. All the Adobe software works on either platform, but a lot of other photo/video editing is platform specific. I pay the monthly subscription fee for Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop. I'm waiting to see how into video I plan to get before I invest in Premium Pro. Do you have an iPad? Adobe has a lot of free software for video editing on the iPad. There is a video called "Life on a Beach - January 2016" that I published a few months ago. The whole thing was created and edited with the various pieces of the Adobe iPad free software.
