One of my old videos went viral!

[Ray Dunakin]

Recently one of my oldest videos, posted in 2009, has apparently "gone viral". It had over 240,000 views last week, far more than any of my other videos. It's currently over 460,000 views.

It's nothing fancy, just 640 x 480 resolution, and shows a low-angle view of a steam locomotive coming out of a tunnel in Nevada. The sound is the best part -- you can almost feel the power as it chugs through the tunnel and past the camera.

I haven't "monetized" any of my videos, so I'm not making money on it. (I'm not fond of ads, and I wouldn't want my videos being used to advertise products or causes that I oppose.) It's just exciting to see it become so popular.

That’s cool. Just added a couple views to the count. I like see those old locomotives.

I especially like watching locomotives plow through the deep snow. I could watch those videos for hours.
