God, Jon Voight looked so good back then!

He didn't even look bad in "Runaway Train".

I remember him as Dave Prince in "Runaway Train"

I remember him as Frank Barstow in "Runaway Train" (1985)

This brings back such memories. I first heard this song during a lock-in the youth group had at my church when I was a teen. We were fasting that weekend. I had a crush on one of the guys. Ah, those were the days!

Poor thing. Doomed to death, but still fighting for life.

The shuttle was presented here as the epitome of technology that works. Just so happens that less than 2 weeks after "Runaway Train" premiered, the space shuttle Challenger exploded.

Wonder how the producers and director of this movie felt when THAT happened.

Wonder if Ranken ever tried that tactic on Manny?

I really like the beginning. They don't put any music for the beginning credits, just the wind blowing and the train. Great minimalist approach.

I do wonder, though ... why "The Yellow Rose of Texas"? Is there supposed to be some meaning to it?

So glad I got off all the psych meds. I lost nearly 40 lbs! Never got to the point where I was smelling things with my ear, though.

Didn't any of them notice that they were on film right there in the room?

William Henry Harrison, Herbert Hoover, and Harry Truman knew what they were talking about.

Great video. And I love you added the scriptures at the end. Nice job! ^-^

They are comics, Japanese style comics. Manga is the term used for them.

Love you, Alaska!

Best wishes from Georgia!

Love this video! You did an amazing job and the song fits so well! I love it! :D

There's nothing in this world better than a good grilled cheese sandwich. For breakfast, just give me grits, scrambled eggs, and sausage. The fanciest I want to get is ham, cornbread, and collard greens!

I actually thought Paul Lynde was hot, if you can believe that.

@elise6spirit Hey! I loved it when I was 13, too!

Greetings to all you other descendants of the great Conqueror!

Even though Edward II was my ancestor, I still think he was a complete twit.

I have this book. It's one of my favorites. John of Gaunt and Katherine are my ancestors, so I sort of feel a personal interest. I'd love to see a movie made about them!

So my ancestor founded Europe. I'm impressed.

Doesn't the male cat's you-know-what have spines on it or something? Must hurt!

On the ARR Mileposts on the Alaska Rails website, Grandview is listed as mile 44.9 (heading north from Seward toward Anchorage). It's between Trail Glacier (mile 44.3) and Bartlett Glacier (mile 48.2). The notation says that Grandview is "the staging area for special winter ski trains for cross...

We took this ride when we went to Stone Mountain. It was fun!

We walked down the mountain and I wish we had taken the tram back down, cuz I fell I sprained my ankle.

I love this song. However, I don't think there are any mountains near Waycross, Georgia! (They're kinda up north a ways in North Georgia.)

Plus, the Everglades are down in Florida.

Cheers from a girl who was born in Macon and grew up in Dublin! Brings back memories of old days. Thanks so much!

What's the music? I love it!

Moral of this story:

Do not fight running water during floods.

You will NOT win.

Wow! This is awesome!

Just watching this video cools me off on a hot summer day!

(And, yes, I have ridden the real thing!)

If you were to go this fast in reality, the Tyrone Police would pull you over for speeding!

(It happened to me. Cost me over $100.)

I'm from Dublin, and I remember this!

Why on earth aren't they holding it anymore?

I grew up in Dublin and I remember the river well. Did you happen to put in at Blackshear's Ferry? It looks like it.

@creemosoul I know just what you mean. Several years ago, some reporter on some news show mentioned the river, and he called it the Al-ta-MA-ha River. I jumped up in my living room and yelled at the TV, "It's Al-ta-ma-HA, you nitwit!"

I remember this trestle at Lumber City very well. I grew up in Dublin, GA, and my mother was a native of Appling County. We'd drive down to Baxley and Jesup to visit family, and we'd drive through Lumber City en route. When we crossed the Ocmulgee on the highway bridge, this trestle was right ne...

Is it still the largest in the world? Or is there a bigger one now?

(Darn, that horn is loud!)

I know that this is totally impossible. (3 of the 4 funnels are still in place, most of the cables are still in place, the railings are still in place--yeah, right!) And I certainly agree that the Titanic should not be raised, even if it were possible.

Still - she did look beautiful coming up. A...

How very sad. Two boys, fighting and dying so young. This song makes me feel like I'm actually a young soldier knowing that my death is approaching. What must it be like to know that? Chilling!

This song is absolutely beautiful! Lovely and meaningful tribute to a tragic day in U.S. history.

I must say, I'm so glad you paired this beautiful music with this beautiful depiction of the story of Jesus! It fits so perfectly -- better than with the questionable movie it was originally composed for. (No historical proof for any of it - the DVC, I mean.)

I'm glad someone posted this particular music. It's one of the things I most clearly remember from watching the funeral on TV that terrible weekend. I was only 8 years old at the time, but Chopin's Funeral March was one of my clearest memories. The other was when they showed the President's ro...

The original series is still my favorite of all the Star Trek series (go, Spock!), but I must say that of all the themes, I like this one the best.

This video is not crappy. It's awesome! :D
