Eastern Railroad Discussion > Good Video Locations on the Bessemer.

Can anyone point out some good locations and roads to video Bessemer Trains?

Weren't you the one who was saying you didn't give out locations? Now you're here asking for some?

Nah, you were just one of the few that said that. I believe his words were "I don't want anyone getting as good of shot as me".

That's pretty much it. Here's the link to the thread, it's the fourth post down. http://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?2,3780002,page=1

You could always find some good photo locations the old fashioned way: take your DeLorme atlas and go drive along the line and scout it out yourself.

Or you can use Google Maps and scout it on Satalite view mode.

I've done it.

They have streetview too.  

Pearl St in Albion Pa is good they will not be at track speed.. 


 

Thanks man!

It is definitely pretty ballsy to be asking other to share good locations after your recent post, but so be it. Most of us feel differently and are happy to share. To that end:

If I were shooting video and not stills, I'd be looking for places where the train is working uphill. Outside of the obvious spots on the Hogback and the Low Line leaving Greenville, the primary hills climbed for southward tonnage on the Bessemer Sub are:
-Conneautville to Harmonsburg Rd. Several grade crossings between those points allow access.
-Osgood to Kelsey on the High Line. The train will start to work crossing the big bridge at Osgood.
-Keisters to Euclid. Beaver Dam Rd offers a nice overpass near Euclid, which is also the summit of a climb for north bounds from Butler
-Renfrew to Saxonburg. The big fill over Dinnerbell Rd is the signature location. Saxonburg is the summit for north bounds climbing from the Allegheny River. Plenty of nice shots all along this stretch.

All of of my past posts are searchable and provide more detail.
