Large Scale Central

Right up my alley

For those who are always looking for a new PoV (I plead guilty) this is one solution. :slight_smile: :wink: Mind you if CP Police ever catch up to him, it will be more than just a $235 fine. That spot is not right adjacent to the highway. I wonder if Larry (CPP) knows about that?

Oh Oh, so you ‘duct taped’ the camera to a tie and then hid in the brush. :slight_smile: :wink:

Great vid tho

Not me Randy, not me! I’m on a first name basis with the CP cop for that area, I won’t be pulling that kind of a stunt … except perhaps right by a road crossing. :wink: :slight_smile:

And I don’t have a GoPro cam either. Not yet, anyway, but it’s under consideration. If I can convince SWMBO that we “really need one” if we ever go for the WhiteWater trips.

Hans! Up against the wall!

First name basis, huh?

Yeah…right…

:stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue:

Nah … we just shoot the breeze or anything else that is in season. :lol:

BTW it doesn’t hurt to know some of those people. The engineers will give that extra horn blast, the RTCs provide the extra line-up info and at least the one roadmaster gives me extra permission for my “in-depth studies” of the infra structure i.e. no reason to pull dumb stunts on the sly.

Hans… You were lucky. One of our buddy yr’s ago did that just out side of Roseville yard where a train was doing around 40 mph and his cam corder ended up in 1,000 pc’s.
We think something was hanging down under or off of a car that hit it when cam was setting in the center of the tracks…lol.

Noel,

That’s not my video. It’s from a section of CP that I’m quite familiar with and if Larry would have been out there or if he by chance sees that video “MrBogey679” will have his a… in a sling.

While I was in Alberta the other week I met one of the CN “Big Wheels” while filming. He was checking something on a train that was “stuck” and standing on the other side of the double track when a freight came through. I figured it’s one of the crew of the stranded rig doing the “roll-by” inspection. He was curious what I was doing there and asked me if I was aware that there’s a danger zone around railway tracks. I quoted him the safety set-back distances while I handed him one of my cards. He said “it looks close, but I won’t pace it off”. Had a nice chat about trains and model railroads and what a meany his brother was when they were kids, he never let him play with his trains. :wink: :slight_smile: :smiley: :lol:

Then my squawking scanner kicked in. “What? You have a radio, too?” Grinned, shook his head and wished me a good day.
