One of the crewmembers told me they shot some video in the climax and it was pretty worthless due to the bouncing around inside the cab.
Another experience of mine similar was in 1987 when I was shooting wedge-plows in Canada. I rode inside one while they plowed a siding in the yard ar Palmerston, ONT. The crew was afraid for their jobs if I rode during the regular line plowing. In addition they said video was pretty worthless up there as well due to the bouncing around and such. However, thats one I would have liked to have tried once at least, although we have old film footage of one of them wrecking that makes one NOT want to ride in a snowplow!!! I interviewed the plow foreman who survived that wreck, but thought they were all dead when it happened. Railroading can be fun but also quite dangerous!!!
