Abandoned Section of the Old PE Red Line Trolley

To follow along on Google Maps, paste 34.097869,-118.253553 to see where I started. This was a trip to investigate a section of abandoned right-of-way once used by the Pacific Electrics Red Line trolley system in Los Angeles.

I followed along with your video on one side and Google Maps on the other side.

@ockteby Good idea Frank. Wonder if there's a way to use keyframes to have Google Earth "follow" your progress?? That would work if you had one of those dual monitor setups.

I enjoyed your video. I think there is a red car power substation in balwin park. You can also add a cheap 180degree fish lens to your camera and it records fine with an iphone

@rsquirl Thanks. Is there something similar for the Android which is what I'm using?

In England cuts are called 'cuttings' The film is 'Who killed Roger Rabbit' Great film. I love this kind of local investigation of a locality's history, finding small clues and recording things that most people probably don't give a second thought to. For a phone the quality is great. I was really happy to see the old photos, too. Much enjoyed, thanks.

@andrewnorris2 Thanks Andrew, glad you liked it. I had to fight the poorly programed Linux video editor to get it to do much of anything good.

If you are willing to attach an adhesive backed metal ring to your phone it may work. Check youtube videos. I ibought one at deals extreme.com and it works great for action shots.
