On Board Amtrak Video
I put together another short video of our train trip this past weekend. I had previously shared a short video of all of us waiting for the train to arrive in Waterbury so now it is time for a short video shot on board our train.
I'm glad I have these clips but, to be honest, these are not my best work and even I find this particular video a bit boring. The problem is that I didn't really have a plan... I just turned the camera on and recorded video hoping that something interesting would happen. There are a few decent memorable moments but nothing riveting... so don't expect anything exciting... it is short though and there are a few memorable moments that I'm glad we had recorded.
At one point, you can see Conductor Adam giving the kids tickets... He had previously come over to us to let us know we would be crossing a river over a bridge soon and that we should look out for it. He explained to Lukey and Kenzie that the bridge was home to a well-known troll. He said that as we crossed over this bridge, the troll would be giving him a couple of little gifts for Lukey and Kenzie... then Conductor Adam left us, saying, "Look out the window for the river and the bridge... we'll be crossing it soon!"
Our train clickety-clacked over the bridge and then, shortly afterward, Conductor Adam returned telling Lukey and Kenzie that the troll was a little grumpy because he had to wake him up but he gave our Conductor two small gifts for Lukey and Kenzie... one ticket bearing the name "Lukas" punched into the ticket... another bearing the name "Kenzie" punched into the ticket... and he handed Lukey the ticket bearing his name and Kenzie the ticket bearing her name!
So, here is the short video from on board Lukey and Kenzie's first train trip...
