My youtube channel (see signature) is taking off! It's so much fun not just watching for the sake of watching trains go by, but watching and recording for a purpose! But of course the flip side is that you are more annoyed now when you hear a train nearby but you miss it! Or even worse, you look and theres a train RIGHT THERE, so close and bearing down that you don't even have time to get your camera out! Happens a lot but that's all just part of the game!
Anyway, I wonder if there are any ways one could get *legit* greater access for filming? Like if I write a kindly worded letter, could I get permission to hang out at BET during rush hour filming trains from all around? Or not necessarily that, but things of that nature?
I assume if any individual engineer wanted to help, that would be bad news for them because they would potentially get in trouble? I'm not sure how serious filming access is taken when it comes to trains. I assume theres zero chance engineers can just let me take a ride outbound in the locomotive, and I've accepted that, sadly But what about GoPro's with magnetic mounts?
Going down the ladder of potentially even less problematic stuff, what about suction cup go pros looking out the window while taking a ride? (camera inside, at my seat) Is that something that would be frowned upon or would nobody really care about that?
Does anyone have any other suggestions of types of unique or interesting videos I could shoot, so all my videos aren't just me standing at stations, filming commuter rail trains with square wheels going by?
