Video Soundtrack 202/121

In addition to my still railroad photography, I also started shooting video for the times when lighting sucks or if something totally epic happens at night. A few nights ago there was a very rare train meet at around midnight. A train (northbound 202) that is normally through my area well before 11pm was delayed and did not come in until midnight meeting up with the southbound 121 who was right on time.

Hardcore railfan videos do not have music while the train is actually being filmed, but I wrote music for the beginning and end credits. Even if you are not a train nut, you may still like this video. It was shot with only available light (basically, the trains headlights and the red lights from the crossing) so it is pretty neat.

Is the piano part (at the end) longer ? I mean, is it a piano piece, ? because after several minutes of listening the train noises comes this beatiful piano (kinda Oriental I must add) but a few seconds later the whole thing ends...

I'd like to listen the entire piece if there is one, or you just wrote those few notes ?

Ah, I've never ridden a train before. I bet it's fun! xD

There is nothing wrong with the music you composed for this.

It is just not what is typically associated with Trains.

On a side note, my Father used to be a fireman on a train. It was his job to shovel the coal into the fire. That goes back a few years....

Still a nice little presentation.

SYS65 - the purpose of this video is a railfan / railroad enthusiast video, I only posted it on YC because I wrote music for it... the middle part with no music is actually the real purpose of the video. Railfans do not like ANYTHING covering the train sounds in a train video (and they are my target audience). The music was composed specifically for the video, so no there is not a longer version. Thank you though :)

Ron - that is really cool... are you into trains at all?

I used to ride the trains quite often. I am not as much into them as my father is, but I still read his magazines from time to time and listen to his stories.

So, yes, I guess you could say I am into trains.
