NYS&W Cab Ride!

I hope you'll enjoy this video, and that you will come support Operation Toy Train next weekend, December 14th and 15th on the Morristown & Erie Railway! More information at ToysforTotsNJ.com
I'm excited to give you one of my favorite videos yet. The footage you are seeing if from my GoPro Hero3 Black Edition mounted on top on NYS&W 3022. As crew for that day's Toys for Tots train, I had the opportunity to film the entire trip from the yard at Ridgefield Park to Butler, NJ (with one exception due to temperature-related camera failure.) This may be the only legally obtained cab ride footage you may ever see on the NYS&W, so enjoy it, share it with your friends, subscribe, and come out to support Operation Toy Train next weekend! Thanks, and enjoy the video!
Operation Toy Train is a 4-day event, the requires months of planning and several weeks to execute. It would not be possible without the efforts of the following:
John Sobatka
Norfolk Southern
NYS&W Railway
Middletown & New Jersey Railroad
Morristown & Erie Railway
New Jersey Transit
Military Transport Association
United Railroad Historical Society
Volunteer Railroaders Association
UPS
Kuiken Brothers Lumber
and The US Marine Corps Reserve
Disclaimer: This video was obtained legally with permission. No electronic device was in use inside the cab of the locomotive, as per FRA regulation.

    Right through my area of NJ; nice to see. Judging from the number of spectators lining the track, I'm guessing this was a maiden fun on the recently restored line.

    Thanks! Yes I have, and there's a few reasons I won't. First, I have a gap in the footage from where the camera shut off. Also, my computer wouldn't be able to handle rendering that much footage. And think of any given train line. 90% of it is trees, which is especially boring after foliage season when everything is dead. I took out the good footage and didn't leave out anything I though people would want to see!

    Thanks! Its mounted with the suction cup mount. The less "linkage" you use mounting a GoPro, the less it will shake so I had it right on the mount without any extra parts. The suction cup also helps absorb vibration.

This is obviously not a rail fan that put this together as he/she would know that sounds are a large part of the railfaning experience and not ruin the audio with a music track disappointing. When I watch ride alongs I picture myself in cab but the music ruins the realism.
