Me and my mom were there

I believe the Monon f7 unit was repainted it was originally a Milwaukee road unit
Sad 😢
how often do trains go through here?
@@IF_California tons. I don't know enough to give you a count though. Look up the Blue Island rail cam.
Obviously not as bad as what happened at Rapidan the next state over, but still a mess - look at that mud flat where the pond had been!
Cool!
With a molten salt thorium breeder reactor you can fill that huge fuel tank with about the same amount of money with diethyl ether as diesel nowadays.
@@PaulHigginbothamSr that's..... oddly specific.
Nice catches man! I’m making a trip to Holbrook soon and I would like to catch the Apache railroad. Is there certain days they run there?
@@TNandTXRailfan hey there I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I've had fellow rail fans tell me to go down to Snowflake and ask at the yard office but I don't have the balls to do that. There are several Arizona railroad Facebook pages that would be better to ask. I just caught it on a pure fluke.
@@rails-n-things I will keep that in mind. Thanks!
sped up lol look at the ditch lights
@@hollistherailfan yeah I need to re-edit this. The beginning is sped up for time's sake but the second part is in real time.
@@rails-n-things oh sorry 😭
That used to be Bethlehem Steel Co. Now it is Arcelor-Mittal Steel Co.
Thanks!
Oh that’s sad. I bet that if I showed this to my grandpa, he would be surprised to see Monon engines still around ( his dad worked on the Monon)
Looks awful
@@runlikehell4180 what would your design be?
@@rails-n-thingsI love it
i cannot lie i hated the renderings of this livery but it doesn’t look that bad irl
Sweet video. As a rail fan and a local to the area, I appreciate this.
Thanks!
You should go back and get some close up shots of AMTK 6902, the surfliner railcar. Many people are wondering what it looks like today
It would’ve added “Point… something” for Amtrak California SM: A service of the California Department of Transportation with Caltrans logo added.
I used to work here. Nice footage.
Very cool! Last time I went by it looked like there was nothing happening. It happened to know if there's anything else going to happen to it?
rip f units 😢
RIP in pieces
Saw one of the new repainted units at St.Pual Union Station mn. At train days last weekend. That was the high light of the trip to train days
Awesome views! 👌👍
Taking this from Lacrosse to Chicago with my bicycle and ride back to Lacrosse. Excited!😊
Unfortunately there is delays, so they are providing bus service.
@@kenczerwinski6365 when was there a delay that they provided a bus service for Borealis?
Wow....
I’m barely 16 and I’ve already driven a locomotive 4 times
Not a thing WRONG with that Paint Scheme! I would have preferred some "Red Candy Striping On The Handrails" but maybe it'll come! For KCS Fans, at the very least, they kept the KCS Road Number! It's perfect! Just CPKC Please...WASH THE LOCOMOTIVES, AND KEEP US ALL HAPPY!
Mp36 unit number?
Sorry that was a few years ago I'm not really sure.
Dang, nice catch!! They look great back to back!👍🏼
Very nice aerial view of the new CPKC locos!
Instead of renumbering locomotives and making them into "real" CPKC locomotives, they painted them with the old numbers and put CP or KCS under the numbers. This is going to be confusing.
Why would that be confusing? What would be confusing is integrating two different railroads numbering schemes into one numbering scheme. Look what Canadian national has done with IC and gtw. They get the new colors and keep the old numbers and reporting mark. Easy peasy.
I saw earlier the 'actual' first units painted in the new scheme were 50 HO Athearn non-powered units to be given away to various department heads.
Where was this? Number 7 covers a long range.
Winona Minnesota
What’s with the metro link cars?
They are in Milwaukee for Talgo to rebuild.
Wouldn't it be cool to capture the Aurora Borealis from an Amtrak train?
YAY!
Awesome!! Love your intro!! 👍🏼
Thank you!
More, please! Track plan and the whole works!
Excellent video! Great flying skills. Love the editing. Very cool.

?
nice👍
If you like funiculars, there's a short one at Silver Dollar City theme park in Branson Missouri that's VERY unique! It has two rails at the bottom, four rails at the midway meet and three rails at the top. And, there's a 180° curve just before the lower station. The Corps of Engineers said a funicular like that wouldn't work so, they built it themselves and works just fine!
Great video! Have you ever filmed at Ft Madison Iowa? It's a great location and very busy.
I have but it's SUPER windy every time I go there.
@rails-n-things That's odd, every time I'm in FMD, it's hot with no breeze. Keep up the good work, I like your vids.
@@sptraxide I guess I'll just have to go back. I heard the bridge just got hit and is shut down for a bit.
@rails-n-things Yes it got hit. I can't give you any details without speculation.
Excellent cinematography. Great catches!!!!
Thank you!
What is TXOR doing in Kansas?? They only operate in Sweetwater and Maryneal Tx
This must have been a ferry move.
@@rails-n-things makes sense I live in Sweetwater and see these two locos practically daily. They have some high hood sd9s too but I haven't seen them in a while
517 ain't cabbage! B32-8WH locomotive - Amtrak bought the only 20 of this variant equipped with head-end power. 2 were repainted & renumbered for Amtrak California.
90221 is cabbage.....
Nice catch!
You can tell from the flames that Chicago is definitely the Windy City.
Hell yeah what a great show!
@@rails-n-things in the fire zone there. It was absolutely amazing. I’d pay thousands for that night again lol. You’ve got to see them before you die.
Dude I was front row when they were at Rosemont the one time!
@@rails-n-things what year? That must’ve been a long time ago.
@@t.j.5574 The title of the video is "Rammstein Chicago 2022 - Sonne" if that helps any ;) Shorts are stupid and you probably can't even see that hahaha.
Good job!
You should railfan more of Indianapolis
Every chance I get down there I do! Thank you!
That’s probably m630
Thank you! I don't know any CSX train symbols.
Stay tuned for an epic aerial view of the Henderson bridge near Evansville.
@@rails-n-things awesome!!!
so many SD70MACs, I really like that green cream? paint
