    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!

    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...

    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.

    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.
