[chriscumming]

Bad track

[thegod098]

hey do you know how to get a job to drive a train?

[ervans]

I don't know

[rayofcreation]

@thegod098 you need training

[tomAachen1993]

very good quality. will not be rare in youtube

[RomanEmpeor]

Why is it shaking so much?

[ervans]

Bad track

[Shydragon72]

acttualy all trains do that even on good tracks

[BudmanPackfan]

not so much bad track as it is jointed track. here in the US, they alternate the joints in the rail on each side, so you get side to side rocking. In Europe, they tend to match the joints, so they do more of a bobing motion, which isn't quite as noticable....

[ervans]

Thanks for your reply

[benschlechter]

Just curious, what type of training does one go through to become an engineer?

[crayztrain]

güzel video.saygılar.

[theup3985]

You know it's jointed rail when you see the whole train rocking and swaying as it goes down the line!

[16lanugo16]

Ugh. BNSF needs new track there with a better base.

[ervans]

Thanks, I think it is.

[cr1901]

Indeed your best HD video by far... forgot to view this when I first saw it my subscriptions box... oops... In any case, reminds me of Jersey to some extent... the gateless crossings and the fields are there too if you look in the right places...

[DaringDramis]

Your HD videos are simply perfect! I'm subscribing right away!

Many HD vids on YouTube look choppy, and it sucks!

I'm shopping for a HD cam, and the Canon HG20 seems to be a good choice. There's so many models, and it's quite overwhelming.

How do you record your HD vids to make them have a so good renderer on YouTube? (Framerate, bitrate, shutter speed...)

[ervans]

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. I use 2000 shutter speed in good light, I always set it on as high as I can as lighting allows It will make your videos much smoother. I keep mine on MXP with AWB for most shoots

[ervans]

Yes, that was me. were you on that train?

[Drewster327]

I remember seeing you, you were in that white van right?

[16lanugo16]

Wow, you are a train driver? Nice. I have wanted to be one since I was little. But sadly, I have to wait a little more than 3 years until I am 16, or whatever the train liscense age is.

[ervans]

Thanks Bob, I'm happy to have the HD back

[robmasterman]

Superb video Ervan, the crew on that loco must be sea sick by the end of the run :o)...brilliant clarity...5* Bob

[surfliner463]

awsome catch!! 5*****

[ervans]

Thanks

[ervans]

Thanks mate, the zoom really shows the rocking

[scottishrailways]

i reckon that line needs to be renewed lol the engine sure was rocking! excellant video mate:)

[Amtrakdavis22]

Wow that engine was really rocking back and forth.
