"CamTrak" is just the name I gave to a well flatcar I scratchbuilt to hold my DV camcorder. You can see the whole thing in "Pacing CamTrak II in the NJ Hirailers Subway ", it's the tenth video from the newest one. The same way Amtrak is a contraction of "AMerican TRavel by tracK", this car's name is a contraction of "CAMcorder on TRAcK" :)
The CamTrak well car was pushed by a set of Trainmaster diesels pulling a short passenger train. I didn't bring any motive power of my own as (1) I'm not a member (yet), and (2) I traveled to the open house via public transportation, so I didn't have the means to carry much more than my camcorder and some support stuff (batteries, tripod, extra tape, etc).
It looks like a Norfolk & Western J-class 4-8-4. It's the same train you see at 1:42. I don't know who made it, but judging by the short passenger cars, it could be a Lionel or a MTH RailKing model.
