Steam & Excursion > 05-20-18 Test = Locomotive 463

The C&TSRR tested Locomotive 463 this afternoon. Late afternoon is not a good time to chase between Chama & Lobato because of the sun and you can't
get on the other side because of private property.

What is the long-three short whistle signal on the C&TS? That's usually used to whistle out the flag man.

I think you are talking about reverse.

I believe the three whistles means they will stop at the next station (In this case Lobato)
Two means they are not stopping. They do this like they did in the old days, for Lobato, Cresco, and Cumbres.
I hope I did not get this backwards. Where's Earl!!!

I am only guessing and don't know for sure.

Roger on a earlier post you were looking for ideas on how to use the second camera, well if you had a third may be you could do a panorama of sort from left to right if the software will allow it. all of equal size shots.

Just a thought. I know it cost a bit for the Go pro camera, but if you had an extra it may be possible.

Or simply use one cam for the overall panorama, the other for closer-up view, of the same scene train/engine at the same time

2 cams is one thing I wish I had back in my VHS cam days, sometimes I wanted to catch all the smoke and overall scene of UP Steam in action, but also wanted close-up of the engines too, the only choice was to zoom in and out, or settle on far away, or close up.
