Two weeks ago, my husband and I took our granddaughter to Sacramento for a ride on the Polar Express Train. It was great. Before departure time, we were exploring around the museum grounds and were able to observe the old Granite Rock Co. #10 engine being turned and prepared for the trip. I whipped out my new Flip video camera and started shooting. I don't have the hang of walking and shooting at the same time. (I can barely walk and chew gum at the same time, either!). Some of the footage is pretty shaky.
Anyway, I got up my courage and posted the video with all its faults on You Tube. I considered including music, but figured that might just be annoying. It would block out the sounds of the horn, the bell, the steam, etc. It would have been nice to block out the spectators comments, but oh well.
Although I placed tags on the video, it doesn't show up on any of the sites I tagged (Polar Express, Sacramento Train Museum, etc). I still have lots to learn about this technology. But hey, I'm willing to learn. Any advise is welcome!
The little red-haired angel in the pink pajamas is my 7 year old granddaughter. (Most of the kids riding the Polar Express Train wear pj's). She LOVES trains, and was so excited when a crew member invited her into the cab of this wonderful engine and let her blow the whistle!
Anyway, here is the link to my first (and perhaps my last, depending on your reaction!) You Tube post:
