When You See So Many Trains It's a Blessing.

- #Trains #Railroads (11/20/23)
With yet another weekday with an abundance of free time, I found myself by the rails with a goal of catching one train...and that failed. So, instead of sulking in defeat, I decided to stick around and see what I could find; this is Atlanta, after all. And boy am I glad I did, because the Atlanta magic was in full effect today, I caught it all for your viewing pleasure. Truly is a nice feeling when you can come back from being trackside and not remember how many trains you saw.
Thank you @northernohiorailfanningpro8899 and @iceclimberGD for being so generous to lend me some videos. Make sure to check them both out for me. Their respective videos are here:
• Slug Units, EXPLAINED!...
• [4K] Train Stalling wi...
Also shoutout to @HotspotsSoutheast and @csxnstrainman, whose uploads made me aware of the prized target...even if I missed it.
God bless. I'll see you soon, out on the High Iron.

The slug numbered 866 you saw is an ancient alco rebuild of an RSD12 in the 1950s. She was originally built for the nickel plate road, went to the N&W, then was rebuilt.
She is one of less than 5 alco rebuilds still in operation on NS.
Another fascinating part about this unit is that it worked with steam engines. The last of the NKP steam locomotives were retired in 1964, she was built in 1958.
Bro can't forget his camcord
Yay!🎉 it was taken in my favourite city Atlanta Georgia 🏢🏫🏤🏣🏨🏥⛪️
9:33 I was standing watching a NS ES44C4 and a Dash 9 intermodal right at the yard here
NS doesn’t have any ES44C4s. 👍
I know exactly what that's like. I just missed a NS heritage SD70ACe this week, and I missed a rare FXE SD40-2 couple weeks ago 🤦.
You mean NS #1071(CNJ)?
@@MattTheUPRailfan2006 Yes indeed.
2:28 & 4:51 is me 🤫🤫
And i am EXTREMELY proud to say i was part of the cause of this 8098 fumble!
EVERY TIME there’s an ad when you cut to black i KNOW that piano music is gonna kick up 😂😂😂
Excellent video Nathan!
Exactly right, apply the trainline about 10lbs, let it admit setup, bunch up the slack, release brakes while you're bunching it up, then pull on it. Time your brakes right and it normally works. Fairly simple physics like you said. So you had the right idea
I’ve got to have watched this over 2 to 3 times while cleaning my room good video @Locopro
It’s another day and another loco video
Very funny 😂 sound effects
The music used for that stupid all-EMD lashup is just perfect. A hint of chaos along with a hint of just pure bliss as you think "What in God's name am I looking at"
This is my n scale 0-6-0 when I give it 5 cars to pull and/or my dash 8 when I give it 10 cars.
Dude lets fuckin go wfrx macs are some of my favorites
EMDs blow off white smoke after they've been idling for a long period of time. Thanks for sharing.
You one of the very few people that vlog that don’t have a drone please get one it will make your vlog 10x better facts Blessings
I certainly intend on getting one. Problem is drones cost something called money, money I don't have lying around. 😂
im praying the bogus focus demon aint striking today
Not this time. ;)
I know this going to be an epic grab bag for the weekend 🔥.
Pretty sure I just fumbled the bag with that exact WFRX mac, also CFE Dash 8's Go crazy Out Here!
Amazing video as usual brotha! Unfortunate that you missed 8098 but you got so much more amazing stuff to compensate. I’m glad to have been able to lend you a snippet of my subpar video, but it fit well into your production. ✌️
Bro lmfao i thou7ght the pickup truck (not the hi railer but the one you showed after it) was gonna hit the silver box that wouldve been funny asf prob
Great vid Loco!!
That blue unit at the shop is an ex CEFX now owned by NS.
That ST 70 IOCC looks beautiful
Hey my guy. New subscriber here. I really enjoy your videos. They're informative and funny. As a youngster I grew up by him in yard so it's so great to see videos you got of my old stuffing grounds. Keep up the good work!
"can i just get a break bro 🙏"
*gets a break from good catches*
Keep Up the Work My Bro!
Dont let your camcorder die this time
Bro might be the most underrated railfan channel out there bro how is he not more popular?
I really appreciate that. :)
Ironically when the 1251 clip rolled, I just remembered, last Friday I caught 7019 leading only 1-2 hours after seeing NS 1250 AND a UP SD40N Snoot Nose paired together, talk about luck...
God the music sync
Not the Conrail! When 8103 comes by there, I am hoping you see it.
Also, I took more L’s yesterday than you did. I missed Citirail AND CN on the same train, CSX 1836, and BNSF on G575 with a K5HLB. And that was just that morning. I probably missed more.
40:47 spoinkboink!!1!1!1!1!1!!1!1
26:00 hits hard bruh
Nice video! It sucks that you missed 8098 but at least you got a lot of other trains while you were out, that’s what I love about Atlanta railfanning despite the bad areas and/or bad parking.
That blue unit in Inman at 20:27 was likely a bought out CEFX unit that NS has. They bought a bunch of those CEFX units (including the CMQ ones featured in some of your previous videos) back in the late summer of last year.
As for the comment at 38:42 I’m not sure how the physics work for that either but I have seen it in action. I got a really crazy wheel slip catch last April and the engineer on the train did just that, he pushed the slack together and was able to get going.
All trains have slack. It's designed into the draft gear of cars for precisely this reason. It's much easier to get 1, 2, 3, 4 or more cars started rolling rather than an entire train at once. By pushing back on the consist, they're pushing the slack "in", maybe up to 4-5 inches per car. Once enough slack is pushed in, they can proceed forward and get a bit of a running start car-by-car. The trick is not taking off too fast and breaking a knuckle back in the consist. Same problem when braking -- you'll hear slack running in (a series of bangs) if the head-end slows down before the rear of the train, or when descending a grade. That's why engineers will apply power after topping a hill while simultaneously applying brakes -- to keep the train "stretched" and avoid slack run-in.
39:48 shocked you didn’t mention the surprise of the plant city foamer unit 5452 lmao
Shoot, there’s lore behind that unit?
@@LocoPro yeah
Great work as always man! Keep it up!
did you see 143? I did i almost lost my mind because of how long it was taking to get out of jacmac
Really had the crew sitting there for four hours doing nothing. Yes, I fortunately saw it. :)
@@LocoPro nice
Your commentary is awesome
Just found your channel. I really appreciate the Bible verses in every video, alongside the quality yet funny railfanning content. God bless.
Nice catches!
Nicely done! I gotta start thoroughly checking out Inman myself bro
26:32 wowzers thats an sd40-2 that had one of its axles on fire
Yup, noticed that later. Made this catch so much better.
I’m having worse luck with the CSX heritage units. Only up to three now.
ACe and IAC/ICC differences are internal and improved Tractive effort and cut/outs for the engineer
Names help mechanical distinguish the differences
ACe has inverter per truck which means if a traction motor fails on a truck the whole truck has to be cut out
IAC has an inverter per truck which means if and any Traction motor fails you only have to cut out that axel and not the whole truck ……..Individual Axel Control which ICC also has
So that may excite gearheads
Oh yeah, for sure there are plenty of internal differences...but if you're a foamer just filming from the outside, you ain't seeing none of that. 😂
😂 exactly, but also the 2 ICC are in testing as them garbage M-2 was already beat to hell so if NS don’t like them then bye bye……
6:55 bro fr added the Minecraft music 💀
You must be new around here. 😂😂
Yea I’m tryna become more well known in the railfan community
wait wait, at 17:04, is that a signal on the powerline pole that's in frame???
Indeed it was. 😂
Dude I saw 4 trains in 1 day One had ex Boston and Maine It was kcs 2010 Then the Other had a Norfolk in Western Is CR coil car
W.
Wait Ns actually has sd70 iccs now? That’s crazy
They’ve had these for about five months. :)
@@LocoPro nice!
How did the train stall? There isn't even a gradient on that section of track (to my knowledge at least).
There's definitely a grade, but I highkey think it was more weight than anything else.
2:59 pause
Resume. 😏
Why do you guys see ex bnsf sd70mac power on the east coast
NS leased out a bunch of MACs from Wells Fargo, hence the marking "WFRX."
i dont know if its just me but the geep at 14:25 does not sound right
Loco who one
I'll need to count and check.
@@LocoPro alr
35:31 1833😔
Is there lore I am missing here? 😂
@@LocoPro the Elkhart times if yk yk
I gotta learn this lore now.
Stop leaving your location bro 😭
What do you mean? 😂
@@LocoPro like if yk a Hertige might be coming and you got time stay
That’s not why I missed it; it came before I even got out. 😂
@@LocoPro ah
282 is the other direction buddy.
282 has a weird route, but I can assure you that was 282. Comes in off the south end then continues up north on the Greenville district.
