Hi Bill,
I picked up a video of the run at Trainfest a couple of weeks ago.
$10 for 13 minutes of video.
The video has scenes from both this past September (2012) and the Quad Cities
excursion back in July 2011
Not too bad, quality was good, some wind noise, but overall enjoyable.
The only short-fall in my opinion is there are no pacing shots.....would LOVE
to have seen that!
Now, to the bad part....
This seems to be a railfan produced video... not GreenFrog etc.
The label reads: SKYTOP Productions Inc. and is copyright 2012
There is no other information or website address.
A Google search came up with nothing.
A search in Ebay for them also came up zilch.
I did a Google search for "Nebraska Zephyr" and was able to find quite a few
videos of the September run.
If I hear anything further about "SKYTOP Productions" I'll be sure to get that
info on this group.
