CN Freight Train

- A northbound Canadian National freight train heads up CN's Waukesha Subdivision at Honey Creek Road, north of Honey Creek, WI. The 78.7 defect detector gives a read out after the train passes.
***I keep getting the same question, asking what's up with the bell at this crossing. At the time I filmed this, they were in the process of installing new crossing signals and detection equipment. You can see a little bit of the gate mechanism of the new signal in the upper right hand corner of the screen and the other new mast and gate mech on the other side of the crossing. The Safetran bell had been disconnected by this point. The GS bell you're hearing is on top of the new signal, on my side of the tracks, out of the camera's view.

This comment section: I watched this when I was ___ years old ahh nostalgia
Wisconsin Area Trains' Excellent Reels exactly
It's so true though
@@SBMetro ikr
but bro i WAS SO OBSESSED WITH THIS 1 VIDEO AAAAAAAA i been looking for it for about a month now
Stop targeting me Evan
I remember seeing this when I was 7 years old. This inspired me to film trains as well.
Same I was 7!
Same but I'm from Finland
Same, when I watch the video
Same
Exactly, Same with me
This was literally the first video I ever watched on the internet.
This is one of the first train videos I had ever watched
Apparently it was the first for a lot of people.

@@Brenton81 it was for me
I think the reason so many people recall seeing this when they were younger is because of its simple name. It's so easy for a kid to just type in Freight train and then this video happens to pop up. Thank you so much, Breton, for this awesome video.
This was the 1st video I ever watched on CZcams 10 years ago. I was 15. I'm now 25, I have a wife, kids, and a beautiful home.
I know everyone’s talking about nostalgia but man, I think I watched this video about 25 times as a child, no joke.
I think I watched it more than 25 times then but regardless I watched it a lot
Same here
I was 6 when I first watched this, and now I work for the railroad. How time flies…
Was 5 years old when this was made
Who still watches this in 2021. Real memories right here
A lot of people, apparently. It's still my most popular video for some reason.
@@Brenton81 Its a classic. I miss the days when I would watch this vid over and over. time flies.
This was the very first video I watched on CZcams when I was 5, and I believe this video is the reason why I'm so into trains now,
This is the first train video I saw when I was 6-7 years old, I have found it again :")
this was my first video watching train when i was a baby, please never delete it, it bring so many good memories
Ah, this video brings back memories since it was one of the first trains videos I ever watched.
This simple train made probably the best railfanning video on CZcams
One of the first train videos I ever watched.
The BC Railfan this is also the first train video I watched to. I was 1 or 2 by then and I like trains so it's still my favorite video today and I the the lead engine is. Cool
This is my first ever CZcams video I ever watched!
I remember watching this as a 5 year old. This was the first video I ever saw on CZcams. Good times. I miss 2007
I was 5 years old when this video was uploaded
When I was in Kindergarten, I used to watch this video all the time. Of course, as a railfan, I still enjoy it very much to this day. The quality of this video is excellent, even in the year 2020. Thank you for sharing!
The bells really hit my nostalgia. I remember hearing them all those years ago.
This was the single-handedly most watched CZcams video by me when I was younger, mad respect for this person❤
This was honestly one of the first videos I ever watched on CZcams. Definitely an inspiration.
Oh, the good ol' child memories watching this..
Geez, the last few times I watched this is when I was 3 years old. I’m 13 now. I wish I could travel back to the good nostalgia.. 🤯
this crossing is where railfans childhoods began
True
I can agree with this
I’m pretty sure this was every railfans first video they seen on CZcams. It was my first video I saw on CZcams when I was 4, and I’ve pretty much have been watching your videos ever since! (I’m 15 now)
I remember watching this back in year 2007-2008. Best childhood memories. Time flies very fast.
I was 4 years old when I first watched this. Good old memories.. I am now 14 going on 15.
Yeah, hard to believe it's been over 10 years now since I shot that video. Time flies!
This was one of the first videos I saw as a kid on CZcams when I was like 11 or 12. Oh the nostalgia!
I remember watching this video when I was in Kindergarten and every time when I get home from school I will watch this all over again and again
Same
I was in Kindergarten when this video was made (March 2007)
First train video I ever watched. Iconic. This gave me the interest in the hobby. Thank you
me too
Same Here
One of the very first train videos I've ever watched with my grandparents. Ah, nostalgic
I think I was at least 8-9 years old when I saw this as a kid. I was 3 at the time this video was uploaded. As of me posting this comment in 2021, I am now 18.
Thank you for the nostalgia!
I watch this everyday when I was a little kid and now everything had change from back then and today.
Is it me or was this just about everyone’s first ever train video they saw?
I was 7 years old when I watched this. Now I'm 17. The nostalgia, this was what got me into videoing trains.
This was the first train video I ever watched on CZcams
Same here! Its also the very first train or railroad video I watched! I was 6 when I watched it now I'm 16! Memories flooding in! But I dont film trains but nothing wrong with liking trains and railroad crossings.
Me too
LOL, second, the first was the video of the daylight.
My first video that I've ever watched in CZcams.
Same
This was the first ever CZcams video I watched when I was about 5! Oh the memories!
This was the video that got me into watching trains when I was four, now I'm 11. This video fills me with nostalgia.
Ah, the sweet smell of nostalgia… :)
This brings me back when I first started to watch train videos. I still am liking it as of today. :D
Thanks! This is an early video of mine.
I always remember watching your train videos when I was a little kid! My first ever train video was recorded near Nashville, TN on April 15, 2012 and I was only 8 years old! (I'm now 13)
So... What's with the Safetran Type 1? is it dead?
This takes me back to my childhood of watching train videos with my family and my grandparents as a little kid
Man, I can't tell you how much this brings back my childhood. When I was a kid I lived directly across the street from the Pabst brewery in Peoria Heights, IL and trains like this came by twice a day. I'd lay in bed and feel the ground shake. It was always really cool to put a penny on the tracks when one was coming. Thanks!!!
This was my first ever CZcams Vid I've watched this platform
12 YEARS LATER:
I would watch this every morning when I was a kid.. now I’m working with the railroad.. man where does time go?
Did you get inspired specifically by this video to work for the railroad???
GMTX 2613 Yes, This video sparked my interest in trains when I was younger and my interest grew as I got older
This was one of my childhood train videos!
Me to omg I just found it
This video got me into trains when I was like 6. I used to watch it so many times over and over
Whoa! I haven’t seen this in AGES! Hello again to all the viewers who are revisiting this masterpiece.
I was 4 when this video was released as I was born on 8/26/2002 and I would turn 5 later that year in 2007.
EDIT: Whoops, I forgot to say that I was 4 when this was released, my apologies for the confusion.
Me too. I had watched this when I was young.
I watched this video when I was like 8-9 years old in 2012 on our old family computer I remember being so fascinated by the train racing by the crossing that I watched many more videos like this after I’ve now been seeing this video for close to 10 years so nostalgic
I love the angle that the train approaches the crossing! Awesome!
Childhood train video , I’m
Damn near crying watching this bro 😢
I will always remember this video as one of the first railfanning videos I’ve watched on CZcams. This video, along with others are the reason I love to railfan now! This video will always be legendary, with the older CN locomotive, the older gateless signals with the disconnected Safetran Type 1, the old Wisconsin Central defect detector and even the signals shutting off with the train still in the crossing! Even though this was filmed and uploaded long ago, great video and catch!
This Is A Sweet Catch And Excellent Consist!
CN 5400 SD50F
CN Ex-WC 6911 SD40-3
That’s right!
I used to watch this video all the time when I was little. It’s a breath of fresh air to come back to this again.
I can't believe how many people watched this when they were little. Im one of them!
First CZcams Video I ever watched.
1300th comment: First I'd like to say that this video was the first train video I ever saw on youtube. 13 years from now since I was 4 when I watched this, this is the most nostalgic train video I have ever watched on youtube. And to those who watched this as their first train video on youtube, I congradulate you all for being great 2000's train kids. God Bless you all for watching this video as a starter railfan and god bless Brenton81 for Inspiring kids to become Railfan youtubers. 💖💖💖
One of the first videos I ever saw back when I was 2... :)
well for anyone really from the western racine county wi area , this was a popular spot to hang out and watch wi. central traffic and this was the hardest regency radio to hear without a professional radio. the crossing was already in the process of getting new gates installed. this is also a dispatcher radio location 161.295(79).as a csx employee now we have talked about this video because of the warning light terminated too soon. maintainers fear these issues. great video brenton81.
I used to watch this video nearly every day when I was 3-7 this was a great video
I love how for some reason this is the video that everyone always saw when they were younger and were just looking for train videos on CZcams. Myself included.
I don't understand how this one video is so popular. I have over a hundred others, but this is the one everyone likes.
@@Brenton81 When I was about 7 years old I stumbled upon this video. It was one of my favorites haha.
Imagine how famous this unknown engineer would be.
I remember seeing this at the age of 5 when I was so fascinated by Trains and I still am, thank you for the memories.
the first ever train video i watched when i was 7
Love it when that first headlight appears over the rise, right at the beginning! I can hear Richard Strauss's "Night and Sunrise" from the Alpine Symphony in my mind's ear.
I'm glad you didn't sweep the camera around to follow the locomotive. Lots of railfans do, and then they stay pointed along the tracks, getting an angle to the tracks similar to yours, except now shooting the train moving away from the camera. I like a stationary camera-keep it simple.
Great video! Thanks for uploading!
I watched this everyday when i was little so many memories
One of the first videos I have ever watched on youtube
2:36 Crossing: I give up. Train: my entire length hasn’t even passed yet. How can you give up so soon?
We own & operate the ex-WC 6904 (now QGRY 6904). The second unit on this train is a WC 6900-series SD40-3 (ex GCFX, nee CN). These WC stenciled SD40-3's still carried the Alsthom (GCFX) paint scheme. Our QGRY 6904 is still painted in this scheme. The 6904 is ex-WC 6904, exx-GCFX 6032, nee CN 5202.
The grandmaster of all railroad videos! This even made me start filming trains on my channel. Do you remember if there was ever a Mechanical Bell here? And they could have added separate gates and saved a ton of money.
Yes, there was a mechanical bell and 8" lights there at one time. They couldn't just add gates to the crossing. They had to install new detection equipment and electronics with the gated signals.
Brenton81 interesting. Also, I never realized how rare Safetran Type 1 E-Bells are, especially since I never seen one. Maybe they could’ve reused it?
Possibly. They may have saved the light assemblies and bell, if it still worked. Masts and crossbucks more that likely ended up in the scrap heap.
One of the first videos I ever watched on this platform, and I still can’t get enough of it.
2:36 - the lights and bell turned off BEFORE the train fully cleared the tracks 😂😂😂😂
For just one second.
This is the first train video I watch since 2010!
I'm a 15 year-old dubstep producer who used to watch this video when i was 4. Now its in my comment section?? What goes around comes around, and I had such nostalgia from this
I remember loving this video when I was first getting into trains, this was one of the videos I liked. Just sitting on my dad’s lap watching videos like these on CZcams. Now I make videos of my own and this is one of the reasons what :)
Safetran type 1 yet with a Safetran type 2 speaker. The new Safetran type 4!!!!! AWESOME!!!
Lead unit is a CN SD50F (5430, I believe). Second unit is a WC 6900-series SD40-3 (looks like either 6901 or 6911). Neither unit is still on the CN roster. The SD50F's were sold out of CN's (ex-IC) Woodcrest shops in Homewood, IL (Markham Yard) several years ago through a locomotive auction. The 6900's were also sold, many of them acquired by Québec Gatineau Railway/QGRY. I work for St. Lawrence & Atlantic Railroad/SLR, one of QGRY's sister roads at Genesee & Wyoming Canada, so this is why we now have the QGRY 6904.
I watched this video when I was 4 years old!! My memory😪
I especially enjoy the camera angle when you can see both the cross bucks and the train coming!
Oh my God the Nostalgia I watched this when I was 5 Years old :O
This is the first CZcams video I ever watched
Lol also first
The first ever video I’ve watched on CZcams
Years ago when we were kids we knew when the train was coming thru town, we'd run out to meet it at the crossing and stand just feet away from the tracks and do the "honk at us" arm pull. They would always blare the horn more than they usually did for us. Feel the power rushing by, the noise, the ground shakes, quite exhillerating! :) Good times. Miss it!
Nostalgia 101 right here
i loved trains when i was younger (i still do) mainly rail crossing roads, and this was one of the first i have ever seen, when i was like 3, Thanks Brenton!
Why the hell would 1.1k people dislike this? This is the good stuff!
This was one of the first CZcams videos I have ever watched
NO WAY.. I FOUDN THE VIDEO AGAIN AFTER 12+ YEARS,...
WHAT BECAUSE SAME
SAME DUDE
This and Ervan's trains SP 4449 video are in the collective memories of the current generation of railfanners.
this was my first train video i watched as a 3 year old 😭😢
Welcome back my bro 😎
I watched this as a kid too. Probably around 5 yrs old tho.
If you saw this in your early days of CZcams, then I’d bet you had an amazing childhood
Yes I did I was 9 when I first saw this
Ok let’s be honest we all watched this as a kid/toddler
Yes
OMG I REMEMBER WATCHING THIS LIKE 10 YEARS AGO HAHAHA
This was the first train video I ever saw on CZcams
well you will like it
Me too!
Pennsylvania RR Video`s I've filmed a few train vids. Their not very good though. But I do have one of a steam engine.
Same here
This was the second train video for me. The first video I watched was the one where a train gets hit by a tornado. I saw this video in the list of videos beside it so I decided to click on it. I've been watching train videos on CZcams ever since.
I love railroad crossings and their signals.. This kind of thing takes me way back.. :-) :-) :-)
+Silverreploid CLE Glad you liked it!
I was 2 years old when this got uploaded
Now im 17
I like watching this video
JacksonAndLansing Railroad
Probably XD
Wide World of Trains I love this vid
Wide World of Trains same
At 2:35 Why Is The Railroad Crossing Went Off Early When The Train Is Here Before The Train Left?
My guess is because it seems like the railroad crossings going under some sort of construction
They were installing new signals
This is actually the first rail fanning video I've ever watched on CZcams. Nostalgic af
Indeed
Certified Railfan Classic
Wow so many people remember watching this as a kid Including me. And 8M Views? Wow it really goes to show how much people like trains.
Such a classic
My 5 year old son watches this video non-stop. Seriously everytime he gets on youtube this is the first video he likes to watch. He has been watching this video everyday for the past like the past year, I think. You see, he has a fascination with trains and this a damn good video that provides just that. My son just might be a high factor of why your views on this video are so high. Thank you for endless hours of entertainment for my little guy:)
