    How do you pull this off? Were too driving and using a tripod or some kind of car mount for the camera or did you have a “pilot” and you just did the recording? I would love to do this but I’m not sure I’d feel comfortable or safe holding the camera and driving at the same time.

    • @ThornappleRiverRailSeries
      @ThornappleRiverRailSeries  2 года назад

      Somebody else was driving. This would be stupid dangerous to do while holding the camera AND driving. Don’t do that!!! Also we had to go below the speed limit, so this only really worked because M35 through here is not a busy road at all, and is straight so all passing cars had an east go of it.

      @GEES44DC 7 лет назад

      Thornapple River Rail Series I'm just anal about that stuff. Its reporting mark is still BCOL so it's still registered as being BC Rail equipment. Even the engines in CN paint are all still BCOL reporting marks.

    • @ThornappleRiverRailSeries
      @ThornappleRiverRailSeries  7 лет назад

      Indeed, I certainly agree. That's why I said that you caught me napping, because I know better! Funny story, there was a IC Dash9 up here most of the fall, but it was of course in the current full CN paint scheme. Somebody had painted on under the number "Not CN!" because it was clearly sometimes confusing, since the only identifier is the small "IC" just above the frame stripe. With the numbering schemes overlapping so often, I do sometimes question the logic in having two units of the same number in the same paint scheme, with the only difference being that small tag. As more and more units from the IC, BCOL and GTW are painted over, this is likely to become only more frequent.
