Stunning mate. Well done. Are there any SD9s sill in service anywhere?

Thanks again

Beautiful Video Quality! What Kind Of Camera Was This Shot With?

[Blimpaccident]

@Metracab123 Hello! Thank you for the kind comments. This was shot with a simple Kodak Zi8. Some of the previous videos were shot with the Zi8 and a Flip Ultra HD. Sadly, the Flip was hit with the SP2472 and took two tripod falls after that. (It did not survive the 3rd fall.)

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you and your family!

Where do you park to see the bridge?

I haven't seen these ALCo Coffeepot Steamers for a few years. Great looking EMD SD9.

Thank you Mark. Great video. The Robert Dollar # 3 is beautiful and superbly maintained. Bravo for the shooting. Regards. Philippe

@PhilbruProduction Thank you! It was my first time with a new tripod, which was supposed to reduce "sticking" during pans. I think (hope) I am through the "learning curve" with this tripod, and it should help me next time.

Excellent video.

@WoelkerVideo Thank you! I really appreciate your comment - you have so many great videos! Such as "01 202, 50 3673 in Lyss (Schweiz)" - what an engine!

OK it IS a little bumpy with the new tripod but still... What a great shot. Now if we could only get the damn cars off the road....

[Blimpaccident]

@maskedmancher Ha ha! I need a "car filter" like you need a "people filter". Delete people yes/no?...

[Blimpaccident]

I thought that was you! I checked out your long video before work this morning and I was almost late! You got some great stuff with that camera! Really nice work - the pacing of Robert Dollar is awesome! I'll get to your other videos - trust me..

@Blimpaccident You can also see me in the very end of your last video clip! I was the boy walking with the folded up tripod!

[CaliforniaRailfan101]

Nice shots! I went to this myself! I'm not sure if you remember seeing me there at all. I was at the Sunol Depot when they were connecting the locomotive to the special. I was the boy with the small blue camera mounted on a tripod. When 5472 went over that bridge, I was the boy with the tripod on the other side of the track.

Feel free to comment on some of my videos!
