The middle of the night? There's no stopping you. So great to see these commemorative locomotives in action. If you weren't out with your camcorder at 3am, we wouldn't be seeing it. Thank you.
Amazing video! Its awesome how CSX will put all 3 of the special locos in one train! Any other company will just treat the heritage units/tribute schemes like a regular old loco.
Great video Rowan. I always love your enthusiasm, presentation, dedication - and at those early hours of the morning it's nothing less - and the way your personality shines through. Many thanks
Wonderful video Rowan!!! Thank you for taking the time to go out and record this train at these early hours of the day! You were really enjoying taking this video. Keep up the great work!
You're right about those "Spirit" units being reported. Prior to this video I've seen two Virtual Railfan grab bags with it, and two B&O RR vidoes on it too. CSX really made a lot of people's day putting all three of them together, with the high and wides. I really like 1776's paint, more of them would be awesome.
Great catch,Rowan,and the luck of the Irish,must be working overtime 👍!! Beautiful engines,and like the NS,thankfully they are in circulation,so everyone has a chance to see them!! Add,the nice part,on CSX,some hoppers still carry NYC(ex Conrail),markers,neat,and keeps one's eyes open!!! Thanks again!
Rowan thanks for being out there for us capturing the CSX special locos at such an unearthly hour, did something similar in the UK many years ago, great video, stay safe, stay well
Man you rolled right past my place in Stafford, VA. Wish I knew she was coming through, I would have caught her at the Brooke VRE station like you did down in Spottsy.
Awesome catches Rowan, I also went railfanning at Cumberland and I caught; - Q331 with SD50-3 8619 trailing - C40-8W 7777 - MP15T 1231 - GCK 7496 (In the CSX Stealth paint) - SD60M 8763 - and lots more
Awesome video brother.. watching Ashland cam on VRF this morning and caught it heading southbound.. earlier in the week headed northbound.. Has to be the greatest Lashup’s! You were up super early,Dedication! 🇺🇸💪🏽
Outstanding work to bring this to the armchair public! Operating 3-4 a.m. is more than dedication. Hope your day job isn't at a saw mill starting 6 a.m.!
I MISSED IT! I knew CSX would pull it through the night. That's an awesome catch. I hope to finally get it one day. (HUGE FAN) Love your videos. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 God bless.
Man what a great catch! Had I known and didn't have to rush from work at 0430 to run fire duty, I would've met you at Featherstone to watch it. (My shop in off Route 1 in Lorton) The Spotsylvania VRE station is right next to my apartment complex. I watch trains from my balcony all the time!
Hi Rowan. Great videos each and everyone, I am in the northeast and we only have Norfolk,CSX. In the old days there was some amazing colors that were here. The only thing that remains Is the old structures, depots and the NY central terminal. So much of the history has been torn down. Some has been saved and made into small shops and such. Anything to keep that history alive! Happy and safe hunting out there keep safe and well.
Wow! What beauties these locomotives are. We can't thank our law enforcement, first responders. and armed forces enough for the job they do and the sacrifices they make to protect us! Thanks Rowan for posting this great video. Also, a big thank you to CSX for these tribute locomotives.
Great video Rowan!!! Thanks for sticking it out and capturing it on video for us and thanks to CSX for putting those 3 special locos on the same train!
Awesome catch Rowen. Definitely a one of a kind train, including the strapped down tankcars. I love your enthusiasm and how you brief your viewers along the way. That's why I support your channel.
Great video you are very lucky to catch CSX Q409 but when it came by me it was CSX Q410 the last I knew they were coming back Down to Georgia and if I'm right he is going from Waycross Georgia to Selkirk New York and Selkirk New York is 3 hours from me but I couldn't make it in time
I’m reaching out to you Rowan because I don’t know any other way, all of Railfan Michael’s video’s now have restricted comments and I hope he is ok. If you see him while foaming or have a way to let him know I appreciate all his content and hope nobody has left inappropriate comments. Railfan Michael and Rowan are by far my favorite Railfans from the Virginia area!
Great video as always Rowan, really cool catch, cool you got to see that. You are on the grind to 30k subs right now awesome bro. Stay safe, god bless, and happy filming!!!👍
Skillfully done! You picked the perfect spot for the last encounter, with good lighting and the train moving slower. That's a hallmark of your videos; detailed knowledge of where to get the best shots and doing what it takes to make it happen!
Those locos look awesome and the light makes them look even better. I love heritage or special liveried locos. But to get 3 on one train is even better
Great Video & Great Chase!! These are some of the best commemorative units out there... the detailing especially on the long hood and the flags etched on the windows really set them apart. And the fact that they all have RS5T horns makes it even better!
That was cool. Glad you chased it for a better view. Saw these units on another train, but they were in different positions. 911 was leading on that one.
Fun Fact: They're running them as an fra mandate because if they let them sit for so long they have to classify them as legally dead Locomotives which means they'd have to Tag them and ultimately sell them Basically meaning if they sit for longer than a year, they have to deactivate them off the roster and sell them. So to answer all of your questions, these units should be out most likely at the end of 2021
@Railfan Rowan I Caught Q409-18 At Lorton VRE Train Station At 3:47 A.M. I Also, Caught Those Same 2 Coal Trains You Caught, Prior To Seeing Q409. An Empty One Going Back To The Coal Fields, I Counted At Least 200 Cars, And T315 Going To Santee Cooper's Cross Generating Station In Cross, South Carolina.
Awesome video Rowan!!! Glad you were able to see Q409 and that I was able to help you track it! Now it's my turn to see it haha 🔥🤙🏾
Well ok
Dang man you're up early
You’re the Very 1st person I’ve Ever Seen that was Recording Trains at 3:11am, Eastern Time.😬👍
I’ve done it lots haha 😂
Thanks to ALL Law Enforcement, First Responders & Armed Forces. We Love❤️ & Respect you.👍
A shame they snuck this through in the night again. Great catch!👍
Yes, very much agreed!
Definitely Baltimore and Ohio railroad and railfan Roman
Railfan Rowan said, “Now we in Business”. You Pulled it Off, Rowan. Lighting was Great. YEA! 👍
The middle of the night? There's no stopping you. So great to see these commemorative locomotives in action. If you weren't out with your camcorder at 3am, we wouldn't be seeing it. Thank you.
Yes sir, thanks so much James for being a loyal supporter and for coming down to visit!
Amazing video! Its awesome how CSX will put all 3 of the special locos in one train! Any other company will just treat the heritage units/tribute schemes like a regular old loco.
Pride in service! Great catch! I missed twice, but still hopeful that they will come back soon enough!
Should be back soon!!
Great video Rowan. I always love your enthusiasm, presentation, dedication - and at those early hours of the morning it's nothing less - and the way your personality shines through. Many thanks
WOW 🤩 That is commitment out at 04:00. Another awesome video, well done Rowan! 😃
Awesome Catch Rowen
Thanks 🙏🏼 for staying up for us to see them!
Wow, nice catch! That must've been tiring to be up that early (or late?). Hopefully you can catch them in the daylight sometime soon!
I love the CSX Pride and Service units and you are VERY lucky that you caught all 3 of them on one train! A+ to you man!
Good work young Man ! 3 beautiful locomotives. You deserve a nap . Thanks Rowan.
Wonderful video Rowan!!! Thank you for taking the time to go out and record this train at these early hours of the day! You were really enjoying taking this video. Keep up the great work!
Csx #911 just passed me on the Toledo Sub-line. What a beauty!
You're right about those "Spirit" units being reported. Prior to this video I've seen two Virtual Railfan grab bags with it, and two B&O RR vidoes on it too. CSX really made a lot of people's day putting all three of them together, with the high and wides. I really like 1776's paint, more of them would be awesome.
I love those engine’s mostly the second from the front
Great catch,Rowan,and the luck of the Irish,must be working overtime 👍!! Beautiful engines,and like the NS,thankfully they are in circulation,so everyone has a chance to see them!! Add,the nice part,on CSX,some hoppers still carry NYC(ex Conrail),markers,neat,and keeps one's eyes open!!! Thanks again!
I love the Fact that 911 & 3194 have RS5T's, while 1776 has a Domeback S5T
Awesome catch Rowan, I caught those locomotives on Q410-14 2/15/21 at Muirkirk in midnight
Rowan thanks for being out there for us capturing the CSX special locos at such an unearthly hour, did something similar in the UK many years ago, great video, stay safe, stay well

Q409 heads to Waycross GA i MISSED this train when I left folkston ga and then the 3 pride units came out of storage nice video
Wow! What beauties these locomotives are. We can't thank our law enforcement, first responders. and armed forces enough for the job they do and the sacrifices they make to protect us! Thanks Rowan for posting this great video. Also, a big thank you to CSX for these tribute locomotives.
Nice catch, those csx engines look clean✨, love the engine sound at 8:00, sucks that it went thru at night🙂👍
