In addition to photographing trains, I often shoot videos of passing trains.  While most videos only feature the camera on the tripod as the train passes, its nice to see the trains in motion and hear them.  I've selected some of my favorite videos that I have on YouTube.  If you would like to view all of my videos, click the logo above.  Please note that each video you click to play, that video will continue to load until finished, even if another is selected.

Please note, YouTube has recently made a lot of exciting changes to their service, including HighDefinition videos... this page is likely to change in the coming weeks.
