I know quite a few professional photographers are starting to use them, also they used one in a recent "Top Gear" BBC film.
The slightly larger Quadcopters will carry a pro SLR with gimballed mount and full use of most controls on the camera.
Slightly larger is a lot more money. It takes practice even with the GPS guided machines and a slip on a big copter landing can easily cost more than a small rig.
From my limited experience with a small copter I can envision lots of good shots that could be taken of trains and cut into your other footage. The latest sport cams have good quality video in Hi Def and some are offering lens choices.
