NS RoadRailer and TOFC trains in 2014
In 2014, an eastbound Norfolk Southern Triple Crown RoadRailer train rolls by north of Duncannon PA, followed a few minutes later by a westbound mixed trailer-on-flatcar (TOFC) and container train. The latter was headed by bright green 'Illinois Terminal' heritage unit NS1072. A decade later, NS no longer operate RoadRailers having run their last revenue trips on August 24th 2024.

Railfanning in the Rain... West and East of Bluefield
Просмотров 4289 месяцев назад
Historical video from a September 2013 trip to the USA, covering the mountainous area west of Roanoke, VA through Bluefield, WV to Welch, WV. It was often wet (pretty heavy rain at times), so that sometimes I was having to hold the camera in one hand and an umbrella in the other... (you can hear the rain in some of the video). But plenty of Norfolk Southern action, old position-light signals an...

Great video, thanks for sharing it !
Great scenes now gone Loco 163 was a flier.
We're planning on trying to catch the big boy steam engine in motion. Somewhere between Roseville and Truckee. Any suggestions?
I'm not local to the area, so I basically only know the places that I covered in the video. Keep in mind that there will be a lot of people out watching Big Boy (and chasing it by road), so wherever you decide to go - get there early, otherwise you might not be able to park or get a decent view.
Dutch vans still in use in 2000? And they weren't yet using the Mk 3 gen vans on the Enterprises, then?
Fantastic footage. Unusual to see a Cork train made up of just 6 mk3 coaches at the start.
Very good video greetings from Dublin
Great video. I subscribed to your channel as well!
Thanks :-)
Great video there. Really enjoyed it.
Thanks :-)
Nice Footage from the Good Years on Irish Rail!😃.
Lovely Scenes from the Good Years on Irish Rail!😃.
Great video mate, it would depress you watching that compared to what we have now!
Thanks - yes, DMUs and EMUs seem to be taking over passenger trains the world over. I haven't been back to Ireland since 2005, but really enjoyed my visits back then. Maybe it's time for another visit...
The webcams there have not been in service, for a few months.
can we get this on youtub 27\7
Wish them days were back again
Very unlikely loco haulage will return, but nice memories 🙂
It still exists on the Dublin to Cork and Dublin to Belfast lines.

I was 6 years old in 2007 and I lived in SoCal and wasn't able to handle the train noises. In 2015 however I tried again w/ a new Bell and Howel HDV camcorder.
Very nice captures !! James.
Thanks!
Thank you for this video as it was very enjoyable.😀😄🤠😎
Thanks, much appreciated :-)
Thought I would try this old post
Hey ac6044cw, is there a link to that pedestrian cam you are on...maybe
No - all the video was recorded with my own camera, when I visited Kamloops.
Thanks for posting. I was just there. September is a perfect time of year to visit this site.
Yes, we had lovely weather when we were there. Had to wait hours for a train climbing the hill though - just unlucky timing, several went downhill on the the other track, which you can't see from the horseshoe curve area... Worth the wait though!
I have a question do CN trains from Vancouver to Squamish still keep going on its way to quesnel BC to Prince George BC? I just wanted to know because I haven’t been seeing any new videos of CN trains going through Quesnel and Williams Lake?
They run north to PG from Williams lake. I hear they still serve the mill in 100 mile aswell weekly or something.
It is a great place to visit throughout the whole year.
0:18
2:07 Hearing that P5 fade away in the snow gives me chills. Great video
There's a train coming. That is an understatement.
Yes :-) Actually, the guy on 4014 with the megaphone (at the end of the video) was warning about a freight train that was approaching on the other track (nearest to the spectators).
Great video and soundscape ; )
Glad you enjoyed it! I do try and get the sound as good as I can.
I remember almost all trains in 2006 were sd40-2s now in 2021 you are lucky to find a sd40-2
I agree - but 2006 to 2021 is 15 years and the SD40-2's are getting old now (and fuel thirsty compared to the modern stuff).
Cool
Beauty shot!
Thanks!
Colfax to Truckee is one of the most scenic rail journeys in the US. Historical places from the first transcontinental railway.
I agreed. I traveled over Donner Pass by train (westbound) on my first trip to the USA in 1988. I'd been wanting to go back to see more of it ever since...
For 2007, that is some AMAZING QUALITY! How does a 13 year old video (I'm from 2020) manage to get HD Quality this good?!
It was originally shot on a Sony HC3 HDV (digital tape based) camcorder, which wasn't even 'Full HD' (it was 1440 x 1080, interlaced). It was converted to 1920 x 1080 progressive - Full HD - when I edited it, and yes, it looks pretty decent for the time.
great videos and congratulations on your channel, you make great capture, my channel deals with the locomotives of the logistics route here in Araraquara sp- Brazil, thanks
Thank you very much!
Don''t have URL but read this past week that CN is discontinuing (or has discontinued) North van to Williams lake services and will use those traci sfor storage. Williams Lake will be service via Prince George (so long detour to get to Vancouver).
Interesting as of this summer they have gone to 200 car trains and have 2 DPU’s mid-train. I live about 300 yards from the main line in Sicamous where they cross the Eagle River. Good video. Definitely in notch 8 on this pull.
"Definitely in notch 8 on this pull." I agree - this was a warm, dry day, and the locos were still going into wheelslip/wheelcreep at times (the screeching noises and changes in diesel engine note are the giveaways for anyone watching this). So at 200 loaded cars that's about 27,000 tonnes (and 22,000 hp) in total? Have CP increased the length of the coal trains as well recently?
I have a great video taken from the Rocky Mountaineer east of lake Louise of a 200 car freight train going through this curve ( I believe ) it is incredible. How can I email it to you
If you think it would be of interest to other people, why not open a RUclips account and upload it? Otherwise upload it to Google Drive or another file-sharing service and post a link to it.
I remember the RDC's out of North Vancouver and the rebuilt ALCOS that worked the yard.
It was pure luck that I saw the freight train in Lillooet - we'd stopped for lunch at a place overlooking the town and I noticed the headlights approaching...
I grew up in Kamloops back in the 70’s where the CP Rail locomotive colours were Tuscan Red and Grey, but I grew up in Brocklehurst across from the CN mainline. Kamloops was (and still is) a railroad town!
Yes, it certainly feels like one with the CP mainline going right through it :-)
Ahhh man the "lava-lamp Acela Regional" scheme on the Amfleets!!! I always seem to forget about those, everyone hated that scheme it seemed, I thought it was pretty cool! It was pretty much gone from the system by 2003ish.
Were you in homewood in 2006?
No...
Why Iam seeing a Mp36ph on bnsf (odd)
I was 5 years old back in 2006.
I love Juniper Beach. I spent two days there this past August and got some great video also. Thanks
You can't enjoy 'noise' by definition. It's unwanted sound
These are the next best thing after the Paxman Valenta in my opinion!🔥
How about a 68 with a paxman engine 😉
Harrys Transport Videos No that would be really weird lol plus the 68’s are really different
The Valenta's have too much turbo noise for me - I prefer the 'bassy' sound of the 68's. A GE EVO or 7FDL is even better, but that's on a different continent :-)
ac6044cw Absolutely true that’s what I love about them. The bassy sound is incredible
Was that a BN truck? I could’ve sworn that was a BN truck.
Timestamp?
I've dreamed of filming trains at Morants Curve for 30 years but never made it. Now that I'm retiring in 6 months I hope to make the trip from Ohio and spend 2 weeks filming trains in those same spots. Thanks for rekindling my dream. Great job!
It's definitely worth the trip - just keep your plans flexible and your fingers crossed for decent weather. Two days before I shot the Morant's Curve video there was torrential rain, causing a rock slide that closed the line over Kicking Horse Pass for a day or so. 5 years later on another trip I couldn't get to Morant's Curve because bad weather had damaged a bridge so the road to it was closed. The scenery is still fabulous though even in the rain :-)
ac6044cw Thanks for those tips and advice. Appreciate your first hand experience.
Back when SD40-2s we’re still common on the mainline
Yes - they seem to be something of an endangered species on mainline trains these days.

Ich Träume von dir Liebste Amerika.💐🌹💐🌹🌻
I resided in Squamish and worked for the BC government at Williams Lake. I rode the BC RDC Cariboo each week and loved that scenery. It never grew old to me. Thanks for the renewal of good memories for me.
My pleasure - it's a beautiful part of the world. Would be even better if there were more trains on that line, but after CN took over I think it was inevitable that more 'through' traffic between north BC and Vancouver would go via Kamloops.
