@Runkleforskin I take it that you work for CSX and know all about the railroad industry?

[danny25824]

what is it thats carried in those procor cars?

[BaltimoreAndOhioRR]

@danny25824 - a news report in the paper said sodium hydroxide

[Trainlover4ever2006]

That looks like one big mess. I like your shots of the wheel sets that came off that coal car.

[iamaGod357]

what is that white powder? is it sodium hydroxide?

[BaltimoreAndOhioRR]

@iamaGod357 Thats what the news article said it was.

[iamaGod357]

@BaltimoreAndOhioRR wouldent u get severe chemical burns to your skin then from walking in it? sodium hydroxide is extremely caustic and corrosive.

[XSRtiliy420]

@BaltimoreAndOhioRR i think if it were NaHO (sodium hydroxide) you would not be that close to it... it is highly crossive, any mositrue would also increase risk's to people and enviroment...

it may be borax (NaBo)

[Hendo56]

OMG! A train full of cocaine! Seriously, I'm surprised they let you get that close to the wreck. *****, as usual!

[seafoxcapt]

Great Shots 5 Stars......So what happened there?. I did,nt see anything on the news.

[BaltimoreAndOhioRR]

@seafoxcapt An eastbound train derailed at the switch near the swinging bridge. It was on the news, and in the Sun paper.

[amtrakrules52]

Nice! Plus I like all the twisted metal shots in your close-ups!

[bubba2781]

Nice closed ups on the wreckage. Great video

[TNT314159]

Cool! What video settings did you use when you uploaded this?

[BaltimoreAndOhioRR]

@TNT314159 Do you mean when I uploaded it to YouTube? or when I downloaded it from my camera? I saved it from my camera as a DV-AVI file, then put it together as a Windows Media file (using Windows Movie Maker) and uploaded it to YouTube as a .wmv file.

[TNT314159]

I meant when you uploaded to youtube. I'm wondering because the quality of your video looks really good but all of the sudden all my videos have recently been looking really crappy. Youtube changed how they process videos I guess.

[BaltimoreAndOhioRR]

@TNT314159 Hmmm.....Thanks for the compliment, but I was thinking the opposite... on my computer, my videos in .AVI form look much clearer. But when I upload them in avi, the screen turns black on YouTube. I must make them .wmv files, which are not quite as clear, for them to work on YouTube. I even left 1 video as-is on YouTube to see if anyone has any suggestions. But to answer you, I use Win. MovieMaker and save as High Quality Video (NTSC). Thats the best I could find which still works on YT

[TNT314159]

I used to use the avi container format with the MPEG-4 codec and had great quality vids, but all of the sudden youtube is making those vids horrible quality. I'm trying to find another codec and container that will work but so far everything I upload looks terrible.
