Pan Am OCS & meet with Downeaster - 1080p - 5/21/11

I filmed the Pan Am OCS crossing the bridge over the Merrimack in Haverhill, then chased it North to Plaistow, NH and caught it meeting the Downeaster. The sun didn't hold out for the meet as well as I might have hoped, but it could have been worse.

Some creative camera work, IMHO. Had the Fs on the siding, the other train hustling along in the opposite direction, passing it, and the rising crossing gates, all at once. Just a neat little moment in the clip. Good camera angles, too.

[@SignalHillProds]

Awesome video: the best of the OCS I've seen thus far!

[@goodeye03]

Great video...Great looking train, like the blue...

[@johnmcboston]

Kinda nice seeing Amtrak travel off into the distance as well (Everyone seems to cut video off the second their train has passed....)

[@ATSF1927]

Great looking FP Units. I remember when they were new. awesome video.

[@Clavichordist]

Nice video. Not too far from where I live. I'm sorry I had to work that day as usual. I miss a lot with my schedule.

What year is the PAR 1? Anymore of this train? Looks sweet.

[@NorfKhazad]

It was built in 1954 as Canadian National 6505. I have several other videos of the Pan Am OCS if you search my channel.

@johnmcboston If you watch more of my videos you'll see I agree with you.. I've always liked long distance approach and receeding shots.
