Coal Train

That's great! Very smooth motion in the video. Only (small) suggestion is that the middle part is pretty overexposed. Maybe you already knew that, but the rest is great. My favorite part is the final 20 seconds...the camera angle is awesome...showing the wide open lake and on the right the slow moving train.

The overexposed part was just at the moment the clouds decided to part and let the sun shine though,
