Video Clips

We thought the best way to demonstrate the quality of the Tehachapi DVD was with some QuickTime® video clips generated from the actual edit decision list. So we have two for your perusal:

1. The first is ATSF 8158 WB at Tehachapi Depot late on a warm summer evening.  Stream  Right Click to Save  Watch on YouTube

2. The second is an unknown SP EB at Marcel heading towards Mojave. This clip represents the worst technical quality in the production.  Stream  Right Click to Save  Watch on YouTube

Both of these clips are 320 x 240 pixels per frame, running at 15 frames per second. The audio track is 32 kilohertz stereo. The data rate is 288 kilobits per second, which should stream just fine on slow broadband connections.

Macs and PCs with iTunes or QuickTime installed can stream the videos. No QuickTime? Download the free QuickTime player.

Stills

All of the images on this web site are screen captures from the video saved as Joint Photographic Experts group files at 50% quality. Click on any thumbnail and another window will open with a corresponding full size image.

Note that the images actually do look better in the video as computers use square pixels, but television uses rectangular ones.
