Steam in Slovenia - Nova Gorica to Jesenice - cab, passenger and forward views

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1

After a tasty dinner at a local restaurant our group made their way back to Nova Gorica station where the TranAlpina train headed by Class 33 steam locomotive No. S- 33-037 was simmering at the head of a beautifully preserved rake of vintage four wheel carriages. The driver made a spirited departure as we headed for Jesenice along one of the most scenic lines in Europe. The ride in the four wheeled carriages was decidedly lively at speed, creating some pretty challenging conditions for photographers. This is one of those routes that is well worth following with -Google Earth-, to get a better idea of the succession of dams and the depth of the gorges the train traverses. At Bled Jezero I take the camera into the locomotive cab where we can see just how tough the job of driving and firing the engine really is, especially in long tunnels. Finally we draw into Jesenice where the sun is setting on what had been a remarkable day. This is one of just a hand full of scheduled steam hauled trains still operated in Europe offering a totally authentic glimpse of how it used to be. A ticket to ride this train has to be the highlight of any visit to this wonderfully scenic part of the world

If you had taken this ride on a cloudy day, edit any evidence of modern times (tourists and autos, rendered the video in black & white, you'd have a perfect sequence of what train travel would have been at the time of WW2. Only thing missing is soldiers in Nazi uniforms. The shrieking steam whistles completes the image of very bad times not long ago.

Excellent video, Tim! I apologise if I've asked you this before, but what editing software do you use? I'm looking for something myself now that Windows Movie Maker has disappeared.
