I could have also titled this video "War with the Tripod".  I was shooting a video project with a friend when we heard this train coming.  Since I have wanted to get in to rail fanning for quite some time, we decided to literally sprint as fast as we could down to the tracks.  As you will see, I got the camera and tripod set up just in time.  However, the run down the hill tightened up the tripod and messed up the legs, so I spent some parts of the video fighting with it and trying to loosen and even it up.  Anyway, I hope you enjoy my first train video and the story behind it!

This video is for Dieselducy because he got me interested in trains in the first place. Follow me on:
