Part 21: Railfan DVD

[MatthewsVideo1]

Music is pure crap. Loose it for natural sound. Otherwise some very nice stuff here.

[virginiatruckee]

@MatthewsVideo1 I like the way James does music on these DVD intros, then each individual clip is natural sound. Matthew, I see your 600 videos have no music, lol ;>) Merry Christmas

[winedinetv]

Love the bridges and snow scenery! and it goes really well with the music!

[CoastStarlight11]

@winedinetv Thanks! One of those bridge shots I took at Gaviota Beach just north of Santa Barbara, Ca.

[poseidon116]

I understand it, then at least you know Sicily as fame and beauty?

[CoastStarlight11]

@poseidon116 I have heard about the Island of Sicily. I have never been to Italy though. The most I have been out of the country is to Canada.

[poseidon116]

produce wonderful work, your city?

[CoastStarlight11]

@poseidon116 Thanks!!! I shot these videos at various locations every where from California to Michigan. These videos were shot far from the town that I live in.

[poseidon116]

@CoastStarlight11 I understand, but the city 'where you live

[CoastStarlight11]

@poseidon116 I live near Reno, Nevada

[poseidon116]

@CoastStarlight11 famous city of the Old West

[CoastStarlight11]

@poseidon116 Yep. I live right by Reno, Carson City, and Lake Tahoe

[poseidon116]

@CoastStarlight11 ok, a legendary Carson City, where he coined the famous MORGAN U.S. dollars in my collection :-) !!!!!

[CoastStarlight11]

@poseidon116 Yes!!! There used to be a famous mint in Carson City where they made coins. That mint is down the street from where I live and they give tours there to tour groups.

[poseidon116]

@CoastStarlight11 beautiful, I am a student of USoltre coins to collect the dollar morgan silver ounces, the 5 Indian gold dollars, and even some when I can double eagle 20 dollar.You could never know you know an Italian who knows carson city hahahahhaha

[CoastStarlight11]

@poseidon116 Ha Ha!!! You are the first Italian that I have met that knows where Carson City, Nevada is. That is funny!!

[poseidon116]

@CoastStarlight11 a lot of ignorance in the world my dear, before I met Europeans who did not know Sicily and Palermo, incredible !!!!!!!

[CoastStarlight11]

@poseidon116 Yep!

My mom's side of the family is Italian and supposedly my great grandmother came over to the USA from Italy and she lived in a town called Potenza. Over the years I would fly to the Chicago area and we would have Italian family reunions.

[catascouts]

Thanks!!!! The shots by the water some of those were shot on the California coast and that was the Pacific Ocean and other water shots were on Donner Pass and a place called the Feather River Canyon. You can see all the individual videos of each shot from this vid on my youtube account.

[SkipW]

sensory overload ; )

[CoastStarlight11]

I think you realy like this DVD intro vid of mine, lol

[gaycowboy31]

@CoastStarlight11 cool choice for music on the video great video by the way..I have a friend invite to you did you not get it yet ?

[CoastStarlight11]

Thanks!!!

I actually just went looking through my friend invites and apparently you sent it a while back and at the time you sent it I got bombarded with spam bot invites and your invite got hidden with spam bots.

I get bombed by spam all the time with invites and such so some times normal people send me an invite and I do not see it mixed up in all the spam and then they point it out and I find it.

[Amtrak76]

OK, this video is AWESOME 4+!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CoastStarlight11]

[Railfan19960]

Im calling my Navy Recuiter what no trains in the Navy... Forget it!

[CoastStarlight11]

Top Gun! LOL!

[dreambuilders48808]

The navy does have a railroad. At least on anyway.

search for " USN 65-00341 at Norfolk Naval Shipyard" on flickr

[interstateruler]

Great videos and gorgeous spots

[CoastStarlight11]

Thanks!

[Modeltrainguy]

BRAVO! 5 Stars!

"Highway to the Danger Zone" nails the mood here!

[CoastStarlight11]

Thanks!!!

This was the theme song for the movie "Top Gun" that came out in the year 1986.

[bnsf4737]

Danger Zone is a great opening for this! 5*****

[CoastStarlight11]

Thanks!

[Modeltrainguy]

Agreed 110%! "Danger Zone" Rocks!

[CoastStarlight11]

Thanks!

[C60AC]

What I like about this DVD intro most of all is that it features 3 heritage units. This means that you now have 4 heritage units featured throughout all of your intros so far; 1983, 1988, 1995 & 1996. All you need to do is catch the MoPac and the DRG and you'll have seen them all dawg! Hard core to the absolute maxx!!

[CoastStarlight11]

I also need to catch the other Olympic Tortch unit. I shot the UP 2002 but I have yet to shoot the UP 2001.

[CoastStarlight11]

Also this DVD intro features youtube user BNSFBJ. In the split second shot with the UP Spccial and UP 1995 you can see the legendary BNSFBJ to the right.

[renotimothy]

It is quite cool but I must take exception to the Soundtrack because the last thing I want travelers to think is that Amtrak is taking them into a Danger filled environment...Sorry for the Criticism it is just how I perceive the song...

[CoastStarlight11]

Thanks. That is ok. Working freight can be dangerious. Like I said thanks to WMG (Warner Music Group) so many songs have been blocked and not allowed to upload to youtube so I am super limited with what I can use. I would much have rather used some other songe but they were blocked.

This was the theme song to the movie "Top Gun".

[Squawk7600]

Wow some unbelievable trains this DVD-- UP844 in Feather River Canyon, SP4449 in Michigan, the old Grand Luxe cars, the Disney Christmas Carol train, and the RBBB Circus train on Tehachapi. And add to that a UP business special, and several of the UP Heritage units...!! I dare say it will be a long time (if ever) before you get a line-up of trains like this again. Nice choice of music too and great intro for your latest DVD!!

[CoastStarlight11]

Thanks!!!! Literly you will never see some of this stuff ever again. Extreamly rare once in a life time footage on this DVD (and once in 20+ year footage as well)

[lostinthe619]

I'm still waiting for the Topgun F14 flyby!

[CoastStarlight11]

LOL!!!!

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

It looks Excellent J! Outstanding! The shots fit with the lyrics of the music quite well!

[CoastStarlight11]

Thanks!

[C60AC]

I agree with E-N here. I think it's a great song choice, regaurdless if it was a last resort or not.

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

Thank You, G MAN

[CoastStarlight11]

Also this DVD intro features youtube user BNSFBJ. In the split second shot with the UP Spccial and UP 1995 you can see the legendary BNSFBJ to the right.

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

I see Em! Nice

[CoastStarlight11]

E-N, LOL!!!!!! That is Ian's hard core gangsta slang name spelling.

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

Thats why its Hardcore. Like You, Me ( E-N ), and G Man.

[CoastStarlight11]

Da gangstas froms da hood!!!!!!!

[Lightwolf333]

LOL!!!! I wish I could buy the DVD. Very awesome indeed.  ^_^

[CoastStarlight11]

Thanks!

[trainsruleandroll]

Good choice on Danger Zone. Excelent preview on your DVD too!!

[CoastStarlight11]

Thanks!

[PlanBSkater3191]

Looks promising!

Whens It Gonna be Out?

[CoastStarlight11]

Its out and its for me

[ANDREWAMTRAK]

Holy crap! AWESOME!

[CoastStarlight11]

Thanks!

[hawkeyetherailfan]

Awesome shots! Can't wait till it's out.

[CoastStarlight11]

Thanks!

[heelblocks]

Fantastic Video!

[CoastStarlight11]

Thanks!

[GhostFearMe]

i think the song fits its awesome!

dvd looks sweet

[CoastStarlight11]

Thank you!

[Lightwolf333]

Pretty good! If they remove this song. You may try a song such as Metallica's' fuel.

[CoastStarlight11]

All the good stuff like "Good Lovin', and Kenny Loggins song "I'm Alright" has been blocked. There are very few good songs that have not been blocked on youtube so I am super limited as to what can be used.

[Lightwolf333]

I did make a train music video using On Leaf Clover by Metallica. But I will not put it on You tube as they will block that video due to copyright laws.

[IndianaRails]

I feel for you --- it's just going to take me some time getting used to it. That is no reflection on the videogrphy, good shots! Good luck with your future uploads.

[CoastStarlight11]

Thanks

[Satsc2]

I feel your pain! Lately I've been using music from score soundtracks. Seems like youtube doesn't notice or something. This is a great collection of shots!!

[CoastStarlight11]

Thanks. Believe me if youtube did not block Kenny Loggins song "I'm All Right" I would have used that song instead.

[Satsc2]

Yea. Its the same thing with my videos. Almost half of the videos I do, I find the right song but youtube always says no and I end up using a song thats ok but it just doesn't seem right

[CoastStarlight11]

Its very un-hard core and not cool that WMG (Warner Music Group) is doing this

[Satsc2]

Yea i know. Its not like were selling music. If anything the should allow us to do. More advertising for them

[CoastStarlight11]

Exactly

[IndianaRails]

OK. I like Kenny Loggins and I like background music - however - I am just not sure I can go with associating 'railfan photography' with "Taking us into the DANGER ZONE???" Could you perhaps choose a different title?

[CoastStarlight11]

WMG has blocked like every song emaginable on youtube and I have been haveing a difficult time trying to find a song that has not been blocked on youtube by WMG. Me and other others were on the hunt for a good song that was not blocked by WMG on youtube. This song was a last resourt since all the good stuff like "I'm Alright" by Kenny Loggens was blocked.

[CoastStarlight11]

The song in this vid was the theme for the movie "Top Gun".
