3. I'm in North Alabama, so Amtrack isn't much use to me.

I'm still not a Youtube member, so I can't log in to subscribe, YET.

I'll let this weekend get over with and then maybe the VR guy will have time to approve a new subscriber. He's busy socializing with the early arrivals.

Yes, there are three cams in Ashland. The PTZ cam is the one they upgraded. It produces some fantastic images especially at night. I have tried keeping more than one feed on simultaneously, and I have problems with them losing time and going behind the others. Then they're not displaying the same train from different angles. I'm still learning how to use the various tricks to keep up with what trains are where also.

Some of the conductors wave to the camera as the trains pull out, when they're on the near side. There's supposed to be a sign at the terminal showing where the cam is so people know where to wave.

During the day these birds chirp close to the microphone on the camera, and it's so relaxing I just leave the sound on so I can listen when there's no trains to watch. Ashland is a nice quiet place except when the trains are passing.
