433: PM 1225 in Black & White

Ep. 433: Pere Marquette 1225 in Black and White II

For all the wonderfulness of full-color HD videos in the 21st century, the beauty of steam locomotion extends into Black-and-White, the era in which they were originally built and operated.

Chase the Pere Marquette 1225 on her March 2015 Return to Clare excursion. While shot in modern full-HD with dazzling color, we throwback to the old standby to enjoy the big Berk in her true colors!

Note: this is a shorter, abbreviated version of this excursion by TRRS. The full, narrated feature of this excursion can be found by following this link:

The video looks too clear! You should add some old film effects to it for that authentic look. :)

Windows Movie Maker has no such effect. I wonder if my new PowerDirector has it. Still waiting on a new computer to run it though... :wink:

Mac and "powerful computer" can't even be used in the same sentence.
