Video: Coast Starlight Passing Through a Horseshoe Curve

[Warner Blake]

I was given a travel voucher for the 24 hour delay of the westbound Sunset Unlimited due to a freight train derailment -- documented by video here. And I used it on a trip aboard the Coast Starlight from Seattle to Los Angeles this past week -- we arrived 15 minutes early!

Follow this link for a short clip of passing through the horseshoe curve.

Did I mention that we arrive in LA 15 minutes early?

That's my post ... didn't know to sign in first; and I see no way to delete it and start over?

Readers may be interested in the whole story of my epic Amtrak journey documented with photos and video's HERE. The derailment in Texas was just one part of a fantastic trip.

I love my iPad, but have not yet tried shooting video with it. Great job!

As far as your other question - What I did before I became a moderator is to delete all text and links in the original (guest) post and type something like "duplicate" in it. Then retype the text and links in the new post after you signed in. One of the moderators can delete the erroneous "guest" post for you.

If one forgets to sign in and posts as a guest, then you cannot edit the post once you submit it. Guests cannot edit posts, since the system has no way of knowing if you are editing your guest post or someone else's guest post. What you describe Dave only works if you were signed in. And that of course would mean that there would be no guest post.
