    In spite of the nay sayers. Thanks Joe Peach 🍑. I liked this one. Old Corvettes and Mustangs, old Mack Fire truck, and haha, a street sweeper ending the parade! Thank you for the full roll of the auto train. It is on my bucket list.

    Christmas? It’s not even thanksgiving!!! BACK IN MY DAY!!! there were thanksgiving parades in November and Christmas parades in December. Too early!

    • @Ea-Nasir_Copper_Co
      @Ea-Nasir_Copper_Co Před 8 měsíci +2

      I mean, we traditionally have our Santa Claus parade in November, but that's because it's too cold in December to expect small kids to stand outside for hours. Also, our Thanksgiving is in October

    • @Ea-Nasir_Copper_Co
      @Ea-Nasir_Copper_Co Před 8 měsíci +8

      Okay, I posted this before the end of the Ashland parade. What kind of low rent Christmas parade is made up of a bunch of random dudes in sports cars?!???

    • @MartyBecker
      @MartyBecker Před 8 měsíci +5

      Thanksgiving has become nothing but a “speed bump” holiday. So sad…

    • @michaelpiatkowskijr1045
      @michaelpiatkowskijr1045 Před 8 měsíci +3

      I remember when you had the Dallas game and the Detroit game. Dallas kicked off Christmas. We'd eat Thanksgiving Dinner and watch football. The stations also just started to sprinkle in Christmas songs after Thanksgiving. Our Christmas parade was the first week of December. Watch kids run after the candy. Went to the Christmas parade in Galveston. Watched adults chasing after beads.

      @michaelpiatkowskijr1045 Před 8 měsíci +2

      ​@@Ea-Nasir_Copper_CoI was in a parade that had farm tractors for Christmas. I was on a VAC Case in road gear with half throttle. Behind me was a 2470 Case.

  • @AngryCatMan1982
    @AngryCatMan1982 Před 8 měsíci +4

    Wow! Six NS SD40-2's being led long hood forward. You don't see that often anymore sadly. We all know it would have been better with high hoods, but I'll take this everyday over the all too common wide cabs.

    Thanks for including the parade through Ashland, really loved the spirit of all involved, including the spectators.

  • @parailfan

    18:53 I like the old Mack Fire Truck in the parade at Ashland. I'll take that over all if those muscle cars before it.

    Waycross, the Refrigeration unit removed from the Maersk intermodal container - I'd have thought they would be ok with a Refrigerator stolen from out of one the open containers at Kearney. At Roanoke, BNSF 9712 SD70MAC looked very nice and clean - good to see, thank you.

  • @parailfan
    @parailfan Před 8 měsíci +5

    13:53 I really wish Kato would make those auto racks in HO Scale so I can start building up my own Auto Train.

    • @Newberntrains
      @Newberntrains Před 8 měsíci

      if you are good with model paint and have a CAD cutter (silhouette or cricut) you can make some that look like amtrak bought some off TTX as the side panels seem to be solid on Amtraks vs the perforated sides on the TTX ones but a quick look and no auto train but plenty of dome super liner offerings :(

    That first clip i was able to see bc of the perfect timing lol

  • @michaelpiatkowskijr1045
    @michaelpiatkowskijr1045 Před 8 měsíci +4

    That first train was interesting. A still painted CNW AC4400CW with UP 1943. If someone sees KCS 4575, take note of it. It's the original 2000 NAFTA motor. I believe the back unit on the power backing up to the grain train is a SD70MAC. At the back of the unit, there's two boxes on the side of the car body. The SD60 had a box on each side of the carbody.

    1:06 the CSX SD70MAC from last time has uncoupled from its train and is now returning to it

    4:32 CSX 3194 leading solo at the same location
    5:04 Santa Fe hopper

    6:34 I never knew Exxon-Mobil had 40 4-compartment tankers. They seem as big as normal tankers but tend to transport loads going to different destinations
    6:46 CP red, KCS Southern Belle, and KCSM gray
    7:07 Herzog well train at the end of a CN train

    13:16 Auto Train with three P40s and a Dash 8 on the front
    14:57 parade in Ashland including some Corvettes and Mustangs. I also like the vintage Mack fire engine carrying Santa Claus
