Preview: NEW! IMPROVED! Ma & Pa RR! Just For You!

Well, almost new anyway...

Here's a sample of a remastered upload from June 2009 of a hike along the abandoned Ma & Pa RR through the Little Gunpowder Falls valley straddling Baltimore and Harford Counties in Maryland. Picture and sound quite a bit better (as you'll see here) and-unlike the 2013 original post which was actually uploaded in two parts-the remaster will be both parts together for a nicer viewing experience. Not a bad result considering the camera I was using back then as you'll see here in the "before" and "after" comparisons. An occasional kink remains but this video's a great improvement over the original post.

Now putting finishing touches on final product and verifying continuity. Hope to have it up soon.

To all my fantastic viewers who've been waiting patiently for something from yer' frog...THANK YOU!! I've had to slow down on the odysseys quite a bit for various reasons including vehicle issues (waiting on new tags, gotta fix a flat etc), health issues (nothing covid related but still the usual stuff at my age), and of course-the price of gas (it's come down a bit, but still...). I do have some screen gems in the archives, as well as going back and improving previous releases (such as I did here). Might even do an occasional slide show of archival photos from back in the day such as in this example of classic B&O RR photos:

Again-a BIG Thank You to all my viewers!

P.S. I used to refer to videos like this as Preview Trailers but had to stop using the word "trailer" in 2020 as back then started getting asked how I like my new "trailer" and that it'll sure come in handy during my "travels." I assumed this was a common term seen literally everywhere and how could anyone possibly misinterpret the meaning of the word "trailer" in this instance. I tried explaining I never got a trailer but really didn't help. Nope-don't have a trailer and never did. Unless you count movie PREVIEW trailers...
