HMP and Technology

I think my project is going to lead me to a pretty cool discovery that I will be able to recreate for fun in a simulation; I'm looking forward to it. I will use USGS and TIGER Digital Elevation Models for the majority of my project.

Let's take a break and look at what I do for fun. Here are three of my favorite videos that I've created!

A Tribute to "Mad Dog" Mike - retirement video made, by request, for a railroader. Filmed last December

Lafayette, IN 8/31/12: The Big Two Doing Business

I toured Purdue University for a second time in September and October of last year, and here's an hour's worth of railfanning just south of downtown. I got to spend the time with a kid from Wisconsin and his dad that were here for the same purpose!

The Chase of Southern 630

This is a video of a 109-year old steam locomotive moving north from Atlanta to Salisbury, NC in June of last year. This was a 75-mile long chase, and we saw the train in 6 different places on the way.
