Our first video in Widescreen!

On the weekend of March 20th and 21st, 2010, the Niles Canyon Railway in Fremont, California hosted Steamfest II. Four working tank engines performed spectacular quadruple-headed and double-headed run-bys, as well as working independently hauling passengers through scenic Niles Canyon.

We had four cameras on hand for the event, and for the first time we filmed in widescreen 16:9 ratio for a better picture on modern televisions! This video features spectacular shots from both on and off the photo lines.

Our cameras were rolling on Friday, March 19th, for some unpublicized test runs including a quadruple-headed freight train!

Saturday, March 20th was the main event for railfans and photographers. We had one camera on the train, getting all of the staged photo run-bys, plus three more cameras chasing the train and stationed at various spots along the line!

We were also there Sunday, March 21st, when individual locomotives were pulling three passenger trains open to the general public!

Featured in this video are the NCRY's Quincy Railroad No. 2 and Robert Dollar No. 3, both, 2-6-2Ts, Granite Rock No. 10, an 0-6-0T from the California State Railroad Museum in Sacramento, and Mason County Logging Co. No. 7, a 2-6-2T from the Roots of Motive Power collection in Willits, California.
