What can we say? We love trains!
With a strong passion for trains, we have traveled across America shooting footage of railroad related subjects. Reflecting on past trips and the diversity experienced across the country, we realized there is a story to be told! Not only the story of the trains alone, but the people and places they effect. We are on a mission to "Discover America One Rail Line at a Time"!

RTM SHORT: CSX Royal Blue at Green Spring - Tie Train Set Out
zhlédnutí 449Před 3 lety
In October of 2013, we visited Green Spring, WV on the CSX Cumberland Subdivision, east of Cumberland MD. Green Spring, WV sits along the North Branch of the Potomac River and has been an interesting railroad scene since the B&O Railroad forged westward in the 1800’s. Of particular interest to me at the time of the visit was the B&O Color Position Light (CPL) signals still standing sentinel at ...
BNSF Transcon KC West - Fly over States
zhlédnutí 592Před 4 lety
In 2017, my good friend Sam and myself set out to document the BNSF Transcon west of Kansas City. We covered the Emporia, Ark City, and La Junta subs. This can be considered the heart of the old Santa Fe, especially around the La Junta Sub which has a lot of remaining Santa Fe objects. Anyway, I thought this song by Jason Aldean is a perfect nod to this adventure... Mile long Santa Fe trains, w...

CONRAIL Memories - Helpers at Alto
zhlédnutí 6KPřed 8 lety
One of my fondest memories of CONRAIL occurred when I was in early high school visiting Altoona, PA in 1997. As a young rail videographer fascinated with documenting my favorite railroad, I struck gold. A west bound steel slab train thundered through Alto on Track 3 with its rear-end stopping right in front of me. I had a front row seat viewing of one of the most awesome displays of high-horsep...

I'd buy a DVD of this. Even if it is home movie scraps.
Awesome work behind the lens and great story telling!!!
💙🤍 I am a big Conrail fan since 1994, and I could never see it's operations in Altoona. Thanks for you I could. I live in Brazil and could know Conrail by the Model Railroader Magazine (Arcadia Terminal train layout edition).
A solute to Conrail motive power. You barely showed any of the actual train consists during this period. Cut to cut on the engines, barely anything else. For those of us wanting to see the actual rolling stock on the trains, you're out of luck with this one.
Never thought id say this but I miss big blue!!!!
Nice video of the bridge and ships ❤
Fireup 611
Great video thank you 😊
That belching exhaust at 5:40 was the best! More please
Does this also cover the return trip?
Epic rock music!
it’s pretty much just a rearranged version of back in black
Loved working on trains powered by the EMD series
1:27 man that ES44 bogie jump is awesome also this should be BNSFs theme
Thank you! That’s one of my favorite shots too… pacing at 70mph!
This was my old account but this is amazing still and it’s great to see the largest class 1 In action
Very cool!!!
Wow and now it’s steaming
Awesome 👌
Close to 2021 and 1309 is nearing completion.
Thanks for reposting ... great to see the project at the start. Am newbie to WMSR and have just started participating in 1309s rebuild ... there is a light at the end of the tunnel!!!

Work in the Silver Bay plant 45 yrs. Ago Nice video of the rail line.
Great video! Capturing good night footage in the shipping canal is a challenge. (It's gotten worse this year as they replaced the bridge lighting with dimmer LEDs that no longer illuminate the ships passing underneath.) If you don't mind sharing, I'm curious what camera and lens combination you were using for this footage. Clearly a nice wide angle lens with a wide aperture.
@railtrek media is this going to be a DVD soon and awesome video of the csx train keep up the good work my friend
Sean Thornton thank again! Will have some CSX Sand Patch footage on a DVD soon...
The brake sticks are now gone from CSX as well...
Ya couldn't go a half mile up river and catch the view of the I-95 Millard Tydings bridge?! What's with that?!
Wow Chris! Once again, you've taken raw footage and polished it into a little gem, admired by all. And yes, that song is a perfect match!
RailTrek Media Team...... This is awesome. The combination of rail activity (big picture & small), landscapes, camera angles & music make this a hit!
Enjoying Railroading thank you for the awesome review. Very glad you enjoyed it!
@railtrekmedia awesome video keep up the good work and is this going to be a dvd soon
Thanks Sean! And yes, we are working on getting this to DVD/Blu-ray!

@@johnmclachlan3602 thanks John still editing. Working on several projects at once. You’re correct the only BNSF video is our LA to Cadiz program “Into the Desert” on the site right now. Glad you are enjoying the video!
