Title: we need more youtube videos
Post by: cnwnorthline on August 09, 2011, 11:31:56 PM

Just thought I\'d toss out an request for more you tube videos of the Chicago Terminal Railroad. Perhaps I\'m going through withdrawal since this is my first summer NOT getting into the city.  All I know is that the only video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpCGui_wM4g) is approaching 7000 hits.  With the popularity of that particular video I think it\'s safe to assume that others would appreciating you sharing too.

I have about a 1/2 of video from Tom Burke that I'm currently in the process of editing.  Tom was with the Chicago Terminal on "opening day" and shot some great, rare video from the cab. :)

I also will be sending Tom Mann a DVD which records a trip by CP Rail up to Peerless from a very cold day in December of 2002.  It includes a scene of a woman finally moving her car out of the way of the locomotive that is trying to get past the Lakeshore Athletic Club on Fullerton.

It's not a video, but interesting to see CP Rail still use some semblence of the Bloomingdale Line. I saw this when doing some research on Pacific Jct. and thought I would share.

I sent Tom Mann a DVD with video I show on the first two days of the Chicago Terminal's operations which he is editing for posting to YouTube.  I was granted permission to ride in the cab with the crew and document the first two days of operations by President Ed Ellis.
