'49 is OK, but my heart is firmly with #700, my beautiful 'Lady of Portland'.

I can't believe how many people were so blase about such an impressive engine driving within 10 feet of them!

[MatthewsVideo1]

Great clip, but need to shorten approach a bit. Really pays off at the end.

[DelayInBlock]

The most under rated steamer.

Nice video

I'm glad to hear from you.Thank you  for your post:D

[robertwterry]

Great video, thank you. Railfans can be some of the rudest people I know. It reminds me that I need to be more aware of others.

[ervans]

@robertwterry Thank you

[Eugene55771]

Greetings from the Crimea! The video is very impressive. Ervan, Merry Cristmas and

Happy New Year to you!

[ervans]

@Eugene55771 Thank you and Happy Holidays to you

[trainfart]

This is absolut fantastic! Special thanks to the man with the brown coat and his nice back in the beginning(not the photograph) ! Most of the time he preserved us for someone other =)

Thank you my friend for this beautiful train! Great day!

[ervans]

@trainfart Thank you Happy Holidays to you

[robmasterman]

[ervans]

@robmasterman Thanks Bob

[ZacksPlace2010]

No way!!! This is TOO cool!!!

[butterflykitty76]

ok, I am loving this video for three reason... #1-the speedwalker in neon spandex #2 the weird running in place and talking to himself guy and #3 the jackhole who cuts in front of the video to snap some pics. Classic!

[bluecomet390]

In the spirit of the season, the guy in the brown coat probably was the vistim of his own enthusiasm for the train. Didn't spoil your great shot of the engine passing one bit. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

[ervans]

@bluecomet390 Thanks, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you to

[biggdaddy2001]

What pardon my French what a fucking asshole. Ida went off good video BTW man those tracks look bad

[ervans]

@biggdaddy2001 Yes, I should have videoed me flipping him off

[Ballinalower]

@biggdaddy2001 In French that is: "Quel putain de trou du cul!" - More usually "Oh le putain!". Really doesn't the guy have any respect for another photographer? Sadly the only trains round here look like jet planes and go almost as fast. Boring!

[biggdaddy2001]

@Ballinalower thank u for letting me know lol 

[scobrown1]

Two words for the jackass in the brown coat. Pepper spray.

[ervans]

@scobrown1 Yeah, he didn't have to do that to get a shot

[worldcoup]

Ís that Christamas lights on the carraiges ?

[ervans]

@worldcoup Yes

[TNZvideos]

Happened to me before when I've been out filming too.

[crzygrniis31]

Wow!!!! What an awesome train!! Thanks for the vid!! :)

[ervans]

@crzygrniis31 Thanks

[KISSITPEOPLE]

What an ASSHOLE DICKHEAD! They could use some new tracks on that stretch of rails. As always good catch. thanks

[ervans]

@KISSITPEOPLE Thanks, I agree

[manojsam79]

It took 5 min and 10 sec to reach, long straight track?

[ervans]

@manojsam79 And then it's still not straight

[sagestats]

Looks like they took their lives and equipment in hand operating over that trackage. Does anything else use it?

[ervans]

@sagestats It was a long time ago. Not much

[CSX6000]

Nice video!!

[ervans]

@CSX6000 Thanks

[worldcoup]

Great composition. The guy in yellow gets pretty much the same shot if he waits three seconds and stands to your left. There's one born every minute I suppose, and thankfully it doesn't detract from the show.

[ervans]

@worldcoup Thanks, your right

[SuperWHIZZO]

ACTUALLY I thought that ignoramus with the stills camera made for a great vid as your spectacular zoom out brought this "insect" down to size and made the steamer more dynamic as it picked up speed.

[ervans]

@SuperWHIZZO Thanks

[iusetano]

Excellent video. Too bad that other photogragher had to step in. You had some neat effects happening when you were zoomed out.

[ervans]

@iusetano Thank you

[acklover]

Nice shooting, as always!

[Lea71777]

Takes one idiot to mess up a great shot. He was a photograher , he saw your focal plane, thats just being rude... Great vid, Love the line of the rails, and how the joggers dissapear as the Train comes into view, well thought out.

[Thonglaw]

@Lea71777 I'd have used both hands and flipped him off, ruining every photo, but then again I'm a jerk that way.

[ervans]

@Lea71777 Thanks, that's the way I feel

[TheBrotherOfSisters]

What the hell Is the yellow guy doing?

[leicam6]

@TheBrotherOfSisters He's racewalking.

[coldbreeze4]

0:00 what the fuck is the guy in yellow doing?!

[andysim232]

@coldbreeze4 that the first thing I wondered hehe.

[Lavalk9]

@coldbreeze4 I was thinking the same thing. Why did he show up right at that moment????

Nice video. I love all that steam. I'm surprised to see that you still have a lot of leaves in the trees even in December. Thanks for sharing!

[ervans]

@Lavalk9 Thanks
