4/6/2024:
I've changed my mind a bit since the SOTC video in January. First, it would seem my aspirations for an upload schedule were lofty at best (lol). Second, I've decided to change 'Specials' to 'Extras' instead of replacing it.
Playlists:
Archives - Content shot before current technical standards apply, having to do with the camera setup used. (Current standard remains unchanged since 4/18/2023)
Shorts - As the name would suggest, videos that are not long. Typically not narrated.
Railfanning - Long-form, narrated (since 2021) videos documenting a whole day trackside. Think 'wannabe Pentrex.'
Highlights - Short-form videos highlighting moments from longer ones.
Extras - Previously, videos I couldn't figure out how to categorize. Going forward, you'll also find non-narrated and less-edited long-form stuff here. Think 'Railfanning' without the yap or the gravitas.
Nicky D's Trains - Voiceover videos with less script and more personality, varying in format and subject matter.

We are so back
Picking up from where we left off, it would seem as though my patience from last installment has started to pay off. It may not be the world's largest feast of foam, but I won't complain about a well-balanced meal. Also my bad again for the horribly inconsistent upload schedule (lol)

Notch 8 EMDs and a string of foreign power at Newport, PA
Просмотров 3193 месяца назад
Skip to 1:40 for the train itself, or start from the beginning to hear the sound of two 710 motors building in the distance. April 20th last year was the first chance I got to test my brand new camera for any extended time. I was still limited to the morning, but got out really early to make up for it. This train was the finale for the day, so to speak, as it came through shortly before I had t...

Long hood forward SD40-2s and a friendly crew at Barnesville, MD!

Within a half hour, it is due to start raining at the MARC station in Barnesville. Before the clouds roll in to create a downpour, however, the heavens part to bestow us a catch worthy of at least a little foam. SD40-2s number 8836 and 8060, of Conrail and Seaboard lineage respectively, point a westbound move of ribbon rail... backwards. Coincidentally, we also saw engine 8060 at the head of an...
NKP 765 in Harrisburg! NS Employee excursions, August 18-19, 2012

Before we usher in 2024, let us first take a glimpse back to 2012, and NS' 21st Century Steam program! Throughout 2012, Norfolk Southern and the Fort Wayne Railroad Historical Society collaborated to get S-2 no. 765 running on mainline track throughout NS' system. On 8/18 and 8/19, the 2-8-4 made trips back and forth between Harrisburg and Enola, PA to the delight of rail enthusiasts throughout...
Harvest season and golden hour along the Chilli - September 25, 2021 in Mazon and Verona, IL
Просмотров 987Год назад
It is Saturday, September 25th, 2021 and, after eleven hours on interstate highways, we find ourselves back in the state of Illinois, a year and some change removed from our previous excursion. Ahead of us lies a week to do as much railfanning as we can, and a vast venue far from home to do so in. As my dad checks us into our hotel, I sit trackside under a clear blue sky in the small municipali...
Sunrise to Sunset on the Pittsburgh Line - August 3, 2021 from Duncannon to Mexico, PA
Просмотров 719Год назад
It’s Tuesday, August 3rd, 2021, and our time trackside starts with the tail end of NS 590, coal ultimately bound for Baltimore, as we pull up Linton Hill Road to get a closer look. It’s about ten minutes to 6 AM. The air is crisp and damp as the land around us slowly eases out of the envelope of darkness. Sunrise is due at 6:07 this foggy late-summer morning, but won't be very distinct through ...
Train racing in Williamsfield, IL
Просмотров 6852 года назад
Despite the earlier day's congestion clearing up in Cameron, our evening in Williamsfield was by no means dry. Our night on the Chilli finished with the side by side running of two westbounds, an intermodal and a manifest on the closer track. The race that ensued was not at all close. This video was edited in VEGAS Movie Studio 15.0 Platinum. All footage belongs to and was recorded by me. In or...
Amtrak's Southwest Chief through Cameron, IL

As the day's congestion clears in Cameron, Amtrak #3 bound for Los Angeles is the first train on the day through at track speed, pointed by P42s 22 and 148. This video was edited in VEGAS Movie Studio 15.0 Platinum. All footage belongs to and was recorded by me. In order to be used, permission can be requested via comment or email.
Three H2s throttle out of Cameron, IL
Просмотров 6922 года назад
Stop-and-go eastbound traffic became a staple of our day in Cameron, Illinois last August. With exception to the Southwest Chief, nothing moving east exceeded about twenty per. While this meant most eastbound trains through town on the Chilli weren't particularly exciting, there were some exceptions, such as this intermodal, pointed by a triplet of General Electrics in old, however surprisingly...
Sunset trains through Ransom, IL
Просмотров 7813 года назад
Fierce storms earlier in the day yielded a distant cloudy sky and a fantastic sunset over Ransom, Illinois, with the prominent grain structures silhouetted against the natural beauty of the big, bright red sky. Two trains came through Ransom under this dusk sky. The first of which was a very long Union Pacific intermodal with a heap of motive power, heading eastward out from the sky. The other ...
UP AC44 6757 leads an EB autorack through Streator, IL
Просмотров 3483 года назад
August 10 was a hot day in Streator, Illinois. Temperatures in the afternoon soared into the nineties, with the heat index peaking at 106 degrees. Another characteristic of this sultry Monday in Streator was the rail traffic, or lack thereof. Despite having been in town since a tad after 10:00 AM, only two trains and an idle breeze had been through Streator by 12:30. Traffic surged between 1 an...
ATSF Bluebonnet GP50 points the eastbound local through Ancona, IL
Просмотров 9783 года назад
Our afternoon at Ancona, although slow at first, picked up quickly near the second my father drove off to pick us up a pizza. The old sentiment rings true: that the best way to get a train to come is to leave your spot. Over the short period he was gone, I managed to catch four trains, however this video is a spotlight of the first of those, the day's eastbound local move headed by a 39 year-ol...
Work trains and 70 mph hotshots meet in Wilbern, IL
Просмотров 3,2 тыс.3 года назад
Our two brief stints at Tax School Road above the Chilli in Wilbern brought an onslaught of traffic, including two extra moves heading east to work between Toluca and Leeds, the first being a Herzog set with specialized equipment and the second being a line of hoppers filled with ties sandwiched between two GEs. Both of them met on camera with Z trains heading westward at track speed. Train 1: ...
Clear skies over the Chilli - August 14, 2020 from Odell to Kinsman to Mazon, IL

On our final day in Illinois, my father and I decided to go to as many spots as possible to close out the trip. Luckily, a majority of the places we hadn't been yet that week were relatively near one another, making it easy to get them all in. Our first stop was in Odell, to catch a small slice of Amtrak's Lincoln Service before moving north to the Chillicothe Sub, first to Kinsman, then to adj...

Love these EMDs!
Awesome K5LLA!
Awesome catches!
Yo
I have somehow seen an Intermodal going 75 in the city of DeKalb IL
56:00 had a NF 2PC K5HLB, it was 7607
Awesome catch! Point of Rocks is awesome
Oil trains are awesome
Must be running late or crew members just getting off late
Nice vid! How did you get the speeds?
KILLER HORN!!
Nice video, likes from me!
Engine numbers are 1107, sd60 e 6947, and 8069
Love these fast CSX trains
Respectfully, this isn't fair. 😭
That train was moving, beautiful RS3L
Definitely a hotshot!
Wonderful train shots 👍 Joe
Nice!
Nice capture! Congratulations
Top
1:46 That K5LA is KILLER!!!!!
Great catches!
Shlawg really thinks he can compete with the Ls? Mere casual. ☝🤓
Bro I am a salesman, I can sell in my sleep
@@NickyDsTrains Bro, I’m a merchant. I sell in the streets for a living. In all seriousness, glad to see some positive inspiration manifest itself here. Thoroughly enjoyed this. :)
@@LocoPro inaccurate, you steal in the streets
45:18 My favorite train has to be this one, it has a beautiful 2nd gen k5hl, its lights are super bright at night, and you can hear its train horn from a distance ❤❤❤
ME LEADING
Play it 2x speed and it’s even faster
Nice catch of the rail train!
I see the main man has expanded his frontiers.
Rail trains are cool especially with EMDs
YOU’RE ALIVE!
Hotshot intermodals are awesome 😎
My special needs son loves trains 🚆🚋🚞🚝🚊🚉🚈🚇🚅🚄🚃🚂 especially cabooses and wishes that the railroads would still use cabooses on freight trains instead of replacing them with the flashing rear end device. He thinks they should have left the caboose on the end of the train and just install the end of train device onto the caboose!
Normal for BNSF
Great video. One thing though. Track speed has to be higher than 60 if it was truly going 67 as you say it was. I know this because PTC will enforce a PCS application as soon as the train reaches 3 mph over the indicated maximum track speed. I know this because I'm in the cab every day.
I've been meaning to change the description of this video for a looong while at this point due to similar feedback and an increase in my own knowledge. Thank you for the insight, and for stopping by!
What? A GP-38 in Amtrak? That's not common.
These are great catches
Next time you’re in Illinois, let’s go out on the chilli together.
Love that AC6000CW, shame CSX didn't rebuild them!
Do you use a equalizer for your audio? How do you make the Audio sound good?
Don't blink or wink
I love these fast trains
Don't blink
When you have good headphones, you can actually hear the train horns from a long distance
Awesome P5
That horn sounds awesome, love fast intermodals
Love seeing trailers on trains
Love those 2 Amtraks
This single video made me want to go there, upon going there, loved it after the first train. Very good spot for fast trains and far view if you’re looking for speed outside of Harrisburg
