CampoSteamTrainTrip Pt 01

This is Part One of a mini series I will be posting up from a trip I went on some years back, where my brother and I took a ride on the cool old steam train they run out here in Campo near San Diego CA. This first shot is of the train coming slowly our direction from over a hill on the other side of a swampy like area. It ends with the train running right past us when we move to another spot at the RailRoad Crossing. Part Two will be when the engine switches on a switch track section further down the way and runs in reverse pulling the cars back to the main station. Later I will post the actual ride in the train, which was really fun, duh :) OK, enjoy and feel free to post your comments or anything else. md

basically kinda inverting all of them, not a negative, but things like where I made the edges and corners faded away to white looking, I've since seen several real life footage of such old films and they more often then not it's the other way around, where the closer to the edges of the film and the corners, the darker it gets and the lighter more towards the center, which probably makes more sense, but I'll see?

Well, I have been so busy with some other things going on in life, that I still haven't bothered to go back to that video, though I always still intend to get it finished sooner then later. But basically, I think I lost the whole scene and files for that, which means I'd have to relearn and refigure out all of what I did, which might not be as bad as it sounds, since I think I now want to try reversing the darker areas from the lighter areas,

I'll try and get part two posted this weekend if I have the time :)

And this trip was like, in `98 or something like that. OK, just checked the old tape and yes, it was in `97.

The people who all work there are totally cool and really love to talk to people and share with them the whole steam strain experience and the knowledge they all have. Glad I saved these videos on their origial digital source, since recently every video I had was on just one drive with no backups. Brilliant, right?

@mdunakin13 wasnt there a rumor on steam returning to campo??

[mdunakin13]

@Strasburg1991 That's the same story I have heard, but then again, I've been hearing that now for at least several years now, so I don't know anymore. They do however still sometimes take the rest of the train cars using a little diesel and you get to go down the grade and of course that means over that killer bridge in Goat Canyon, awesome!
