2008 CP Holiday Train

CP's 2008 Holiday Train is seen here running between Colliersville, NY and Duanesburg, NY on the D&H on Saturday, November 29th, 2008. This year I tried to show the train more from a distance to capture the feel of seeing the train in person from a distance (like from I-88 for example), however I wasn't as pleased with the results. Nevertheless, I thought I still came away with something worth sharing, so here it is!

My 3 year old boy is a CP Christmas Train fanatic, and of the dozens of videos we've watched on YouTube, this is his (and my) favorite. Thanks for all the time and thought you put into this, the multiple locations, the travelling pan shots, the way you often get distance so we see every car of the train, looking like a magical N or HO gauge train -- anybody can make a miniature look real, but making this massive train look miniature is genius!

Thanks guys! Yeah, I was thinking it might be cool to do a clip where it was dark and then you see the crossing light-up.
