Steam & Excursion > UP 6936 7-14-1992 WB Elko,Nev. While 3985 Overnights

Video #1 is 6936, symbol ICBOA, Approach & Stop for Crew Change, Video # 2 is Departure, and I almost fell off back of my truck, while struggling to pan tripod/camera westward, Percariousely Perched on top of truck utility box, following 6936 action!, my foot slipped down into gap between utility box and back window, while all my attention was focused on getting that shot thru the viewfinder! You can kind of tell by how the cam stops panning to the right,instead of following through to see 6936, and how there is a glitch on video,due to cam momentarily shutting off due to a hard jolt, and how I only got the last honk of 6936's xing horn!

Great video. I have tripped myself several times when photographing trains  and even cracked two ribs while chasing Santa Fe 3751. The things we do to get our pictures or videos,

Ah yes! The hazards of being a dedicated rail documentarian!..I Remember now,after viewing the 2nd video, I'm not sure what went wrong, I did pre-plan/pan the cam on its tripod where it was set on the truck, but ol man Murphy stepped in at the worst time, and it locked as I was trying to pan west and focus on 6936..dammit!..Oh Well, glad we got what we got!

It always sucks when Murphy steps in no matter what the situation is!
