Many railfans enjoy close up shots of narrow gauge equipment, as well as the total immersion experience. Here is one railfan demonstrating getting his money's worth by combining both of these goals in a very effective and memorable manner.
Step 1 is to pace just ahead of the rotary for some excellent close-up action views
When the rotary starts to pass you, simply step behind a convenient tree for protection from any flying snow or ice chunks
Duck as you get to the total immersion part of your experience
Voila - the total immersion experience.
