Though not required, commenting on other peoples videos is encouraged. Only one video per participant so please choose carefully. Please choose the Video Cutting Room Floor Thread to share the videos that did not make the cut. Any posts with videos taken before the commencement of the challenge will NOT be included for voting.

Videos must be under 5 minutes so that no one must spend hours going through videos for judging. The topic this week is "Run By: Your favorite RR" Make sure to allow time for editing your video and uploading it. Don't wait till the last minute and find the poll closed before your video finishes uploading. On September 1st, all entries will be put up for a public vote, in which all members of Trainboard may vote for their favorite entry(s), regardless of whether you submitted an entry or not. Voting will last 6 days and be unlimited multiple choice. We ask that you view all videos before voting.

If you have any further questions, contact Mr. Train or Mystere or simply post them to the thread and we will get back to you asap.
Thanks for the link in the photograph contest thread! I didn't see this thread before! Now I'm on the hunt for something different, cool, or at least somewhat interesting to shoot a video of to share here!
It's still early, but it'll be pretty hard for me to top this one: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MN-xmqzKcqk"]YouTube - CSX train chase - Engine No. 1: "Spirit of West Virginia"[/ame]
Trailer... Well, since movies have trailers, then short video clips should have at least a few still shots as their trailers. So, wet your limps of this coming attraction... [FONT=Trebuchet MS, Arial, Helvetica][/FONT] That's one of my video cameras on the right already rolling film
RTD C-LINE Here's my unique run by video. I have such a soft spot for electric trains! :tb-wink: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0XsUwbr6ks"]YouTube - MVI 3514[/ame]
Darren, This is what I do when Santa Fe is backed up on my way home from work (I-25 & C/E-470). I stop and watch trains until the traffic jams clear a bit. I was hoping to get the lite rail and the BNSF grain train racing, but RTD is way to fast.
Oh no! I had two good ones to up load. Now they seem to be missing fro my camera card. Oops that must have been that senior moment I had the other day removing photos on the card. Now I have to go find another one. :mhissyfit:
I have tons of stuff to submit, if I could only find a way to make it presentable. Don't want to do Youtube. :tb-sad:
I highly reconmend vimeo.com. Their user interface is thousands of times easier to use/understand than youTube. Once I found vimeo, I never used youtube again.
Well here's my entry. Not my 1st favorite RR, But my favorite rail line! [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pS4KUsnp0Xo"]YouTube - UP 5766 at Fall Creek cut[/ame] :tb-smile:
Electric Interurban Car No. 25 [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QInhVLOsMdo"]YouTube - D&IM #25[/ame] Don't forget to use the "HQ" viewer for higher quality I will upload the same video to other sites soon so you are choose your player... http://www.vimeo.com/6216247
