Filmed 07/30/17 Finally had a chance to do some railfanning Sunday, however the Transcon was pretty dead. Only saw three trains and managed to film only two of them. Though, not really happy with the first. Also, the lead unit in this train is actually an AC4400CW, not a C44-9W. But this is what I'm guessing the reason was for the slow down on the Transcon. The coal train that feed the power plant a few miles away can't take an entire train at once, so they must split it in two, leaving half the train on the siding here at Eton. I had more of this train filmed, but time and technical issues shortened what would have been a 16 minute long video to what it is now. I was using my new camera and I don't know what the issue is, but when I put the SD card into the computer and load the clips into the editor, it compresses the video from a wide screen 16:9 setting to a scrunched up 4:3 setting. whats even weirder is that it only does it to some clips, but not others, and they all appear to load properly into the editor, however after it's rendered, the scrunched up scenes appear. Camera is a Sony A6000, and my editor is VideoPad's free editor. The A6000 is set to record in mp4, and at first I had the video set to film in 16:9 format, but almost all the video clips were messed up in the editor and scrunched to 4:3. So I rest the camera to film in 4:3 format and it appeared to film in 16:9 anyway, yet still scrunched some of the scenes, not as many bout some. I'm completely at a loss as to what's going on with this camera, if anyone has any clues, let me know. That's it for now, I'll have part 3 of the SD40N ops this Sunday and then after that, something from 1895. Going on a trip this weekend to see the Central Iowa Railroad Club in Des Moines, IA so l'll have video coming from there in the next month or so. Plus an upcoming operations session at on Jon Percy's N scale Buffalo & Pittsburgh too. So stay tuned, lots more on the way! Thanks for watching!
