Filmed 8-18-13

Filmed this after leaving the Mid-America Train Meet up by the airport.  Dad and I stopped by Mid-America Car where they still have a bunch of those Citirail GEVOs. After that, we went to KCS' Knoche Yard and saw some pretty neat stuff, namely a pair old unpatched SOO GP38-2s.  This is where I put the new camera's zoom to the test.  Those Geeps were 300-400 yards away and even farther away when they leave out view.  My old camera would never ave been able to clearly focus on them.  The BNSF units were also in that same area at Knoche as well.  Afterwards, we went over to a fairly quiet Neff Yard.  UP did have one of their old spartan cab SD60s idling away but other than that, wasn't much else going on there.  Then we went over to Norfolk Southern's Avondale yard.  Again, not a lot going on there.  But they had a nice group of locomotives at their fueling racks.

This video has a different feel to it, I downloaded a new movie editor that is allowing me to do more on screen text and better editing.  It's showing me I need more memory in my comp, because the final video drags down the system when playing.  But the upload is going rather quickly... which is odd because this is a far larger file with it being a full 1080 HD.  So I don't know what's going on.  Anyway, I only made on purchase at the train show.  Snagged an Intermountain ES44 with sound for $175.  It's a UP so technically by their standards its a C45ACCTE.  It's my first GEVO, and will look quite nice running with my SD70ACe.
