The Texas Railfan
Добавлен 25 янв 2021
Hi, my name is Dusty, and welcome to my channel! I'm a railfan and train enthusiast based out of south central Texas, and I've been filming trains for over 5 years.
On this channel, you'll find (mostly) high-def videos of trains in action, showcasing the railroads that crisscross the Lone Star State. From the scenic Texas Hill Country, where trains wind their way through rolling hills and wildflower fields, to the non-stop freight highways that span the entire state, I'll take you on a journey to cover it all.
You'll see high priority freight trains hauling cargo across the state, passenger trains carrying commuters and travelers, and historic heritage trains preserving the history of US railroading. I'll capture the sights and sounds of the railroad, from the hustle and bustle of urban rail yards to the peaceful countryside.
So, sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride! New videos are uploaded whenever possible, so be sure to subscribe and join me on this railfan adventure across Texas!

Chasing Canadian Pacific 2816 “The Empress” from Shreveport, Louisiana to Kendleton, Texas
Nice video man,I enjoyed chasing 2816 from Kendleton to Robstown and hope it makes a return and come back through the Houston area. Also at 10:23 that 6 chime sounded so eerie and ghostly as it echoed through the woods 🥶👻.
Last time i was in Caldwell it was dark as all hell and we'd just got done chasing 4014 to Houston. That MAC on the point is a RARE bird man. Wish BNSF would rebuild all theirs. Makes for a cheaper fleet than buying new units.
Nice, close-up catch!

IYCMX is now abolished?
Yep, it was replaced by ZYCMX & AYCSA sometime during 2023
Good 😊
It’s actually a sd45t-2
@@bnsfET44C4 SD40T-2, UP lowered the HP on almost all of the SD45T-2’s
Awesome!!! love SD40T-2s
Awesome catch, I rode their bertram flyer last summer and was absolutely hooked the moment i saw their lineup, I did further research on it after the round trip and was quite excited to figure out that they had both an rsd-15 and an SP mikado. (I saw both of them out in their little makeshift maintenance yard). plus they now have fully acquired 3134 so it will now be operating with them for a very long time
Seriously? The amount of ppl at the scene could have easily moved that bike beforehand. Obvs a set-up for the video.
@@chrisenglert3958 I would’ve tried to move it but obviously didn’t have enough time to do it by myself. The owner of the bike (that mind you had just gotten stuck a few minutes prior) was on his way back with help to move the bike when the train rolled into town. the video wasn’t staged in any way
Rip…
Austin Sub rules!!
Passenger trains and yuletide go together. Good catches !
muy mal
Good catch.
Unfortunately 161 got in a really bad fire and idk if it’s going to get restored or scrapped
Yo
Man I NEVER get lucky and catch that train that switches out that industry I swear the same cars have been there for weeks if not months, obviously not the same train as the Giddings run I film weekly
@@jwrailve3615 most weeks they run 112 ether Monday or Friday but on busy days they run the 121 extra which can run any day of the week
@ at this point I know down to a mile or so of where they’re at between 8-1:30/2 when they run to Giddings and I film them usually somewhere at least twice a week, I’ve wanted to catch that extra though for a while I’d heard about it but never seen it ever near Elgin or manor does it run later in the day when it does run?
Great video!
Thanks! 👍
Great footage man! I spot me in the foreground at 15:00. Low key I feel bad for getting in some people’s shots 🙃😅 But other than that you did great work on this one man!
Thanks! And you’re all good man! With steam chases like these it’s pretty much unavoidable to be someone’s shot so I completely understand 👍
@ oh yea for sure lol It was definitely one of those chases of a lifetime that’s for sure!
Why did CPKC M281, a manifest train which runs from Laredo to Shreveport, Louisiana, get rerouted
It was definitely odd, from what I understand it was re-rerouted due to heavy flooding around Houston & Beaumont
W P5
I wonder why that engine had such a noticeable and rhythmic idle sounds
Seemed to have some minor engine problems that day, a pretty common occurrence with the aging SD60M’s
Cool.
does anyone know the jingle at the start of this meme? where is it from
Awesome video, will be uploading 2816 as soon as I can.
Can't wait!
Amtrak is spelled wrong lol
I hate auto correct 😂 thanks for the heads up so I could fix it 👍
Nice catches of the Texas Eagle.
What’s the street called in Elgin texas
Those are UP SD40Ns not GP40s
Thanks for the video. Now imagine this. The year is 2105. On North Reynolds Road going towards Temple. You would see 3 sets of sidings. And next to the sidings is a 10-foot high by 10 feet thick. With watch towers every 400 yards. With the regular signal but the dwarf signals and signal for the gates. That would open for the fictional Ryan-Erickson Aerospace Corporation Est 1984. The Ryan-Erickson locomotives will pick up the full gondola cars of scrap metal and drop off the empties for the BNSF. And you would hear the Hyper-Sonic Starfox-1 going to Lackland or Luke Air Force Base for the USAF,Navy and Marines. Taking off. I got the idea for the Ryan-Erickson Aerospace from when I was living in Texas when my dad was stationed at Fort Hood and Lackland. And I saw when Sante Fe was running the old F-9 Units and where. Red and Yellow Warbonets. And Blue and Yellow Warbonets. And when I was my great auntie in Dennison I saw the Lousiville and Nashville-Seaboard Coast Line Family Systems in Waco. And man I wish smartphones where around back then. I would have a whole catalog of trains.
It was inspired by this video
That’s where I live
Nice !
Searchlight 🚦 are pretty much extinct nowadays of course they use the Darth Vader type signals.
Nice catch. Equipment is from the 3rd Infantry Brigade Combat Team; 10th MTN Div. returning home @ Fort Polk, LA. They had deployed to Afghanistan, Iraq & Kuwait.
UP MLDNL
Is UP MLDAS still running as of 2024
Bruh dusty you’re a Foamer back then why
I heard somebody singing The Yellow Train OF Texas Is The Only Train For Me. Nice catch.
Nice!
the tier 4 emds sound like a ge, its cause they got that 4 stroke engine
I seen them too
does the association own the track?
Capmetro owns the track
No, it's the Austin wester railroad's west subdivision
Its owned by Capital metro, and the austin western railroad uses the track as well, both let the ASTA have right of way on the trackage
Does UP MFWSA still run on the Austin Subdivision
Nope, stopped running this route back in early 2023, takes the Smithville and Lockhart subdivisions now
Kinda miss the ROBCHI/CHIROB it was the only day time stack you could count on that had something cool always on it
Heard that they abolished CHIROB, ALTROB, ROBCHI, and ROBALT because of I180 and I181. This information might be incorrect but a friend of mine told me.
@@miguelgomez2967 from what I was told from a BNSF worker is that they shifted over to Eagle pass and stopped sending stack trains into Mexico via Laredo
They increased the speed limit up there I think
