Jcarlton Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 My first youtube video. Shot last weekend at the SONO Switch Tower Museum where I volunteer. This is in South Norwalk CT. Genesis on the Danbury train, Aem7's and the new Kawasaki M8's. In HD. I'm trying to build a tower video and an archive of the transitions that are happening now ie M8's replacing M2's, AEM7's being replaced and the old Mchenry catenary put up in1914 being replaced by constant tension. 1 Link to comment
The_Ghan Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 The intersection of Washington and North Main Streets? I think I found it on Google Earth: 41°05'57.80" N 73°25'06.21" W Great post. Thanks for sharing. Cheers The_Ghan Link to comment
Jcarlton Posted July 17, 2012 Author Share Posted July 17, 2012 It's a fun place to volunteer at. The downside is that if you are on duty, you can't shoot the trains. I took some more footage last Sunday, but lost the good stuff because we only had three people and I was the only one on the top floor when we had about five or six groups come through in an hour.

Jcarlton Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 A bit longer with some high rail dump trucks and a couple of Acelas. I got real lucky with the Acela on track 4 right under the tower windows. Link to comment
