Railfanning BNSF's Emporia Subdivision - Sept 6, 2024
Took advantage of the nice weather and went out to the Emporia Sub again. Glad I did because BNSF was sending a bunch of movements westward and they came one after the other in the 2 1/2 hours I was there. Got a few nice surprises too, the best being the Gardner Turn with two cabooses, 1 Santa Fe and 1 BN.

In mid August, my dear friends SantaFe669 and TheLOKRailfan came down to Kansas City to visit and as part of it, I took them down to the Wichita club to run trains for the day. Both Train2589 and MPHTrains accompanied us there as well. This outing is dedicated to Tom McComas, founder and producer of TM Books & Video. RIP 1938-2024.

Galesburg Railfanning - July 2024
Просмотров 119Месяц назад
While headed back from Michigan and Indiana, I made a stop in Galesburg, IL, a town I've long wanted to railfan at. My original plan was to spend the entire day, stay the night and then head to Fort Madison, but by the afternoon, I was starting to feel worn out from traveling. So I after a very late eastbound Southwest Chief departed, I ended up calling it a day and headed back to KC. I will ha...
Chesterton Railfanning - July 2024

After about an hour on CSX's Garrett Sub, I saw the Nickel Plate Road heritage unit was in Elkhart westbound on the Chicago Line, so I went back over the Chicago Line at Riley's Railhouse in Chesterton and caught the lineside action in late afternoon hours with the NKP unit being the last train of the day.
Portage Railfanning - CSX Garrett Sub - July 2024
Просмотров 98Месяц назад
After a few hours at Elkhart, I decided to head back west towards Portage, IN on CSX's Garrett Sub to see what I could grab there and also because it's been a good number of years since I've railfanned on any CSX territory. 4 trains in 1 hour was pretty good.

Great afternoon in Griffith on CN's diamond where their former Grand Trunk Western and Elgin, Joliet & Eastern lines meet. The goal for today was to catch at least one pair of the former Illinois Central "Deathstar" SD70s and luck was with me today, with even a third one trailing on another train.

Canadian Pacific 2816 - Missouri and Iowa Redux

On June 27th, 2024, Canadian Pacific #2816 continues its long journey home back to Canada as we retrace the route north from Kansas City to Ottumwa, IA. Compared to the southbound run, 2816 was really moving as twists and turns throughout the day in the rural countryside. In addition, there's a few moments of freight and light engine moves at the Norfolk Southern diamonds in Birmingham prior to...

    I too like the MPC engines. My Grand Trunk GP 7 wobbled exactly like that when I first got it. Turns out one of the wheels on the motorized truck was not concentric. I took the truck apart, pulled the offending wheel and replaced it. The locomotive no longer wobbles. Evidently mine was not an isolated case. Great layout and great assortment of MPC sir.

    Well said. I replied this on your Twitter post, but Tom's knack for storytelling and filmography is what the foundation for our generation's love of O gauge is built upon. From I Love Toy Trains, to the Toy Train Reviews, the Christmas train videos, Tinplate Legends, and his magnum opus - A Century of Lionel Trains, he captured the hearts and imaginations of so many. It's very neat you had the pleasure of meeting him. I hope TMBV can carry on covering today's best layouts in the style we know and love. Or at least, give us a special about the life and career of the man himself.

    Without Tom, I wouldn't have been a avid I Love Toy Trains fanatic to this day or any of his other work like John Deere, Big Machines, etc (he never fails to make us laugh, learn and want more). First Brian McConnachie (headwriter for Shining Time Station) is gone, now Tom. I might dedicate my premiere S3 episode of Great Sodor Engines to his memory as there had been a few occasions where some Thomas models appeared and also mentioned.

    I absolutely LOVE 😍 the little "Kiddieland Limited" Challenger 4-6-4! - assuming that it was built as an amusement park locomotive, delighted to see that it's been preserved & is running! 😎 Looks like it's styled somewhat after New York Central's streamlined Hudsons. Both it & the Czech 0-4-0 have impressive whistles & "stack talk"! 😀

  • @Sugarmountaincondo
    @Sugarmountaincondo Месяц назад

    You caught a few interesting loads and car types mixed into the manifests. Transformer Load on a depressed flat, Flat with Pipes, Coil cars, High-sided Gondola, Wheel load, Green wrapped lumber load, Double stacked wheel load and another single along with a MOW Ballast car and a few nice paint scheme cars like the bright red boxcars and the green hopper cars. A train doesn't seem like a train to me without a caboose and I am also surprised none of the engineer's tooted the horn for you.

    I was here. Although I love all the albums, for some reason I found myself less hyped about Human than the internet consensus. However this bass solo going into Lack of Comprehension and then the song itself and the other Human track that was played live was so damn good I felt like I “got it.” Also everyone online who says that The Song of Perseverance is just “riff salad” or that the song structures are weak clearly have never experienced them live. The songs really breathed and the transitions built up the music so well and gave moshers a chance to catch their breath. Great live music all around. Can’t wait to see them again.
