(HD)-2 UP Baretables on the Coast Sub Featuring KCS and CSX power (7-25-14)
On this day, it was a day of unexpected surprises. Thinking it was going to be another boring day at home doing nothing, I got word of 2 baretable trains. One was a Northbound baretable train (ILBOA-25?) with 2 SD60Ms. One with Union Pacific's "We Will Deliver" slogan along with a "Triclops" trailing 2nd. I got word of it when I heard about 2 SD60Ms sitting at the Tamien Caltrain station. It was on hold at the station until the last morning ACE train cleared the way. Eventually, my expectation was right. It was a Northbound baretable train all along according to my friend. Another baretable of the day was the IOALBR-25 with a colorful 5-unit lashup consisting a KCS "Belle" ES44AC and a CS...

(HD)-Northeast Corridor Railfanning at Trenton ACS 64s, NJ Transit, Acelas, and SEPTAs (7/20/14)
Просмотров 20 тыс.10 лет назад
During my recent trip to the East Coast 2 weeks ago, I was very lucky to do some Northeast Corridor railfanning again at the state of New Jersey, but this time, at the Trenton Transit Center. I experienced better action at Trenton than my last visit to the East Coast when I went to Newark Penn Station! Saw good Amtrak Northeast Corridor action including the Acelas, New Jersey Transit, and SEPTA...

I did not know once I got off the train at Trenton! Throughout the rid...

Просмотров 21110 лет назад
After hearing about Amtrak Coast Starlight #11 being 3 hours late that day for some reason, I figured out I should go catch it. AMTK 99 and 507 were the lead engines. #11 had some goodies on it as well in spite of AMTK 99's awesome and nice sounding horn, the San Francisco Metropolitan car wrap, and 4 private cars, which were the Southern, St. Claire Valley, Passenger Support Car, and Ex-Railve...
(HD)-A Slow Day on the JPBX Peninsula Sub at College Park and Santa Clara
Просмотров 98910 лет назад
On this day, I decided to head out to College Park for a day of railfanning with Dom (sjrailfan35) and Guillermo (nikonrailfan98). It was a slow and typical day for us since Caltrain 134 terminated at California Ave station due to a pedestrian fatality, so some trains had to be delayed that day. We didn't last long at College Park as two Caltrain/CEMOF workmen saw us at the station, came and ta...

SP 9010 is currently undergoing restoration, which explains why SP 9010 is currently unable to move under her own power obviously because she is lacking her second prime mover.

(HD)-Railfanning around the Bay: Foreign Power, Amtraks, and More!
Просмотров 11310 лет назад
In this year 2014, railfanning came out a great start for me in view of the fact that I saw some foreign power from in January and mid-February. Foreign power is VERY high this year for many railroads especially UP and BNSF. Thus, 2014 is officially called "Year of foreign power"! Foreign power was set on UP's KMNOA twice this year. In January, a CSX SD40-2 and an NS ES40DC were both trailing b...

I was indeed very lucky to attend my very first Calrailfans meet ever, which took place at Davis. Plus, I got to see my friends again after a few months! Caught our typical Capitols, Zephyr 6, and UP action that was a bit more than what I expected. We caught the KOAMN, IOATAR, IG3OA, MMIRV, and the ZNPOA including a bonus meet with an Eastbound Capitol with a doubleheader. This was indeed a gre...

After hearing some news that AMTK 42 and 156 were on the Coast Starlight 11, I decided to go to the Baumberg crossing near my house to catch it. Sadly, AMTK 42 was taken out in Portland, OR so AMTK 156 was leading only.

I finally got the chance to railfan at Fullerton on my vacation to Los Angeles!

    I love the HHP-8's, I feel bad for them since they are being replaced. CSX should take-em and use as freight power for the parts of the northeast corridor that CSX does run on that are electrified, being that they rival any diesel out there....

    Thanks for putting this video up. It is a pleasure to see 2472 still running. And I am glad to see that they remembered Neil Vodden by naming the car after him. I first met him in 1971 when his hair was still black and he was working for SP. He spent his days off over at Roaring Camp and helped me to learn the art of firing the Dixiana Shay in my first real job after High School and before i started my Freshman year of College. He did a tremendous amount of work getting 2472 restored to service.
