I do video's on trains, mostly rail fanning videos of trains primarily in northern Illinois. You will also find videos of train rides, HO and O scale model railroading, informational videos, and more. While you are at it also check out my flickr, facebook, and twitter pages for photos and updates on video projects.

Iowa Traction 50, a 104 year old Baldwin Steeple Cab, drags a cut of hoppers to the CPKC interchange at Mason City, IA. The 50, along with the other four BLW steeple cabs still on the roster, are the oldest locomotives still in revenue service in the country. All five are over 100 years old, being built between 1917 and 1923.

A pair of SD40N's lead UP train LTZ56 west across the Des Moines River in Ft. Dodge, IA. This ex CGW bridge stands at 182 feet tall, and due to the closure of the original Kate Shelly high bridge down river is now the tallest railroad bridge in Iowa.

IAIS 703 East at Minooka
Просмотров 747 месяцев назад
A pair of Iowa Interstate GP38-2s roll east through Minooka, IL with eastbound train CBBI (Council Bluffs, IA to Blue Island, IL). The two geeps are in run 8 as the engineer is trying to keep momentum climbing up a rather unassuming yet steep grade going through town. 703 is one of just 4 GP38-2s on the IAIS roster equipped with ptc; and seeing one, let alone a pair, is very uncommon this far e...
CSXT 7247 East K5HR-24
Просмотров 116Год назад
CSXT 7247 departs Ottawa, IL just after midnight with eastbound CSX train L396 for Barr Yard. This is one of only a couple AC44CWM's on the roster that has retained its K5HR-24 air horn after being rebuilt. 396 and its counterpart 397 run 1x1 DP every day due to having to make a 5 mile shove going in and out of Barr.

Просмотров 74Год назад
BNSF 1680 and 1766 lead Y JOL202 west at Patterson Road outside of Joliet, Illinois on the Chillicothe Subdivision. The GP38 on the rear of the train is used as a shoving platform as the caboose the crew normally uses is currently bad ordered.

BNSF 1018 West at Tower Road
Просмотров 942 года назад
BNSF 1018 and two newer GE locomotives lead H NTWBRC west around the Tower Road Curve just west of Shabbona, Illinois. Just another quick phone grab, however I'm doing this enough to where I'm considering getting an actual camcorder again. We'll see what happens.
BNSF 1592 West at Mazon
Просмотров 502 года назад
Another quick cell phone grab on my way home from work. This time BNSF 1592 and 1404 roll through Mazon, Illinois with LCHI105 05. The engineer has the two older EMD's wide open in run 8 as they struggle to maintain track speed rolling towards Galesburg in the late evening light.
BNSF 167 West at Coal City

BNSF 167 and three more locomotives lead LCHI105 29 westbound through Coal City, Illinois on BNSF's Chillicothe Subdivision. This was just a quick cell phone grab on my way home from work so I apologize for the shakiness.

Hey guys remember me? Well I'm back after a couple years and have started another layout! I apologize for the absence, but I intend to put out more videos showing the progress of this layout. Thanks for your patience, and I hope you look forward to seeing this layout take shape as much as I do!

Nice clip! Thanks for sharing it
Fantastic. How often do trains use this line?
Best I can tell every weekday. This job is based out of Eagle Grove and usually gets to Ft. Dodge in the early evening. The Ft. Dodge roadswitcher crosses the bridge too but I'm not sure if that's a regular occurance or only as needed.
She is doing a beautiful job, and under catanery wire.
Nice catch!
How the whistle was preformed is absolutely gorgeous to the ears! 1630 put on a spectacular show which I wish would happen once again.
For a 2-10-0 she’s pretty tough stuff, classic steam power right here! What whistle is 1630 wearing in this video?
look at that 2-8-0 go

ALASKA RAILROAD MY HOME RAILROAD
2:58 wish that sight was more common in the US
Why were coal trains being stored on museum property?
The museum earns money by storing cars that the major railroad nearby (UP? BNSF? I would have to look it up) doesn't need at the time and/or doesn't have room for.
Any locomotive can pull this many cars empty with no grade. If this train was loaded then i would be impressed.
It doesn't matter whether the cars are empty or loaded; what matters is the total weight of the train and whether the locomotive has the starting tractive effort to move the train.
It was a possible narrow font K125
I have a solid brass railroad spike with up and cnw
5:03
Even though they're empty, this is still an impressive sight, especially for a locomotive that size!
Those six tankers have been there for at least 10 years?
These semaphores were removed in November 2022.
This wasn’t much for 1630 to handle. It’s meant for freight drags, however. Todays cars do weigh more than freight cars back when this locomotive was in revenue service so still a good workout. It’s hard for a lot of railroads to justify working a locomotive hard like they were when they were new with spare parts lying around but it’s still great to see an old iron horse stretch their legs

Bruh AWVR 1206 just morphed into a CP SD60! Also what are the average times CP freights run through this line?
2-4
7am and 4pm
Awesome video.. Was so cool to see the blue War bonnet leading the pack 😎👍
I’ve been there
Frisco my old friend
Do you think that 8277 shown here is the same unit as 277 here? ruclips.net/video/EE4-VStqyuw/видео.html
My God, men, they didn't build these engines to be toys; they were meant to work. Yes, it's cool, but it's hardly astonishing. She's only doing exactly what she was built to do -- pull heavy freight at low speed. Nearly all her weight is on her drivers. I don't know the average tonnage of freight trains circa 1917, but with her tractive effort this is not a miracle. It's just a great illustration of the power of steam. Take a Doble steam car. Direct drive, it'll go 0-60 in about 15 seconds and it's nothing but torque. You don't even have a transmission. A Ford Model T can't top 40 mph and it takes about 40 seconds to do that! Alas, I rant in vain. Tomorrow I shall haul firewood in my Nissan Frontier with heated seats and digital music.
The 515 is now at the Illinois Railway Museum
My name is Ethan Armitage.
I caught that one in Fontana
If I'm not mistaken ARR 3010 was the lead locomotive in Runaway Train 1985
You are correct!
Doing exactly what the 2-10-0 Decapod type was originally intended for. To haul slow moving very heavy trains like this.
Simply awesome!
0:48 sounds like 1206’s horn from AWVR 777
Yup!Agreed!
Do you know Metra Railfanning? He railfans in the Elgin area
Bnsf 6136 1st gen K5HL horn
3010 was the lead engine in runaway train 1985
Nice catch and A nice Nathan P3
Awesome video
Nice catch man.
As I recall not much freight traffic between Harvard and Evansville Wisconsin which is sad because that’s usually a sign of a class one rail company selling the line or abandoning it.
Yes I am railfan this line all the time we normally get a local everyday and a grain 2 or 3 times a week!
Thats a nathan M3
Strasburg 90 is overrated, 1630 is where it’s at
lol
They are both nice locomotives. . .
And a show they gave!!!!
Back from the dead
And she still has her K3HL today!
Was it loaded? I doubt it
They were empty coal cars in storage at the museum due to coal transport shortages at the time
They're empties being taken out of storage. But 135 empties is still a 4000-ton train, which isn't to be sniffed at.
Just imagine if they got the Y3 operationally restored. Could you imagine a Y3 on a 135-car coal train? I know it'll never happen, but man, I can dream...
Need more in ho red and silver!!!
I love the CNW horn
This is definitely on my bucket list. I love trains and nature
Just look at how black that smoke is. You can tell she's working hard
