There is a techno band called The Chemical Brothers and they have a video for their song Star Guitar based on riding in a train and everything that the train passes (i.e. signal lights, electrical polls, cars, other trains, etc.) is set to the rythem and melody of the song. Very Cool!!!
Has anyone seen this video?
Sure [8D] here is a link for anyone else interested:

very nice edited!
I’ve been trying to figure out what that white, sausage-shape freight car may be - I think it’s either a tanker or a cement hopper, with a shunter (switcher) pulling it. (Yes, it appears a dozen times in the video, but it’s a little blurry and unclear even in frame-by-frame).
It’s my two loves railroads and music. Very neat idea.

AHHHH, 3-D animators with some time on their hands, they did a kick-butt job. I’d love to see that one on DVD so I could stop it and see what kind of locomotives are in it.
fun
Hey Dano, If you see the real video it does not come across like a 3D animation, it looks like it is real video wich went through heavy editing ( cutting - copying - pasting - blending )
For those who like trains in video’s: in the 80’s brithish band The Cure mounted a time-lapse videocamera on the front a train, to make the video for “Jumping someone Elses Train”
as the song starts the train leaves London and at the end of the song the trains arrives in Brighton.
Very cool video! I watched it 8 or 9 times. Very impressive!! Now if only we could do that on our club layout…
Sir Reginald Dwight, is from Brighton! acj.
The video is filmed from a TGV…
Another cool vid is Crystal Method’s “Coming Back for More”, which is filmed on board a cross country train trip, and features snippets of old CPR footage of “The Canadian” travellind through the Rockies.
