Train Hopping West Episode 3 || Happy Fourth of July
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 июл 2024
- I continued my journey west from a stormy North Platte. This was one of the longer stretches I've ridden in one shot, 1100 miles. I was tired enough that I fell asleep from just outside of Laramie until the middle of Wyoming, not far from Rock Springs.

Watching an old Stobe vid today as he walks around Sheridan, WY lamenting his love life, “…a lot of women have a natural instinct about guys who like trains….and they’re probably right”. -Stobe 2017
I'm watchin some Stobie Jim Kenobi myself tonight. Happy Trails!✌💙⚡
Haha, shhhh! I don't want my wife getting any ideas;)
YA THATS A CLASSIC, I TOO HAVE AGAIN RECENTLY STARTED RE WATCHING STOB VIDS,,

Another great ride, George. I wondered if you packed your fly rod. Thank you.
@@johngetman1816 yeah I remember that video of Stobe. He was saying that women don’t dig guys who are into trains something like that.
Traveled I80 a few times and saw the trains loved the landscape every time I saw a train I wondered if someone like u was on there great video 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Love watching your adventures. Recently faced some health problems and was fighting anxiety, watching your videos helped a lot. Stay safe.
Thats a hell of a lot of work George, and I appreciate every minute of it. thank you.
George, your videos just keep getting better. And I never get tired of looking at the geography of the Overland in Nebraska and Wyoming.
I randomly typed in Train Hopping and found your channel, I don’t know why I typed it in but something told me to. I love this, I love your videos. To see someone your age out there doing this just screams America Freedom 🇺🇸. It helps to relax me, I feel like I’m there as well taking in all that beauty. Keep the videos coming and stay safe out there. This is one of the coolest things I’ve seen in a long time on RUclips.
Be careful out there. Happy Independence Day!!!
Great video George thanks was awesome
Epic views George....Thanks for taking me along !
Wow this is a big country. Love the music you use. Hope you're enjoying the 4th! Take care
Thanks Dave. I hope you're having a great Fourth too!
Beautiful hop! The grasslands…. the frontier… wide open spaces!
Another very interesting and intriguing video. Splendid beauty out west.
Safe travels George. Looking forward to your new adventures.
Love your vids ! Always waiting for the next, don't stop ❤❤❤
What a great show thanks very much George you made my day!
Another great video. Love the music you choose. Keep 'em coming.
The scenery in the USA is amazing ❤
This land is beautiful!!!!!!😊
Thanks for the ride along! Been through Nebraska many times! By car, bus and train (Amtrak to DEN). Going through Nebraska is like: Are we there yet? Hy 71 is between Kimball and Scottsbluff!
My vote is that you put out the best edited train rider videos. Meaningful freeze frames, captions that are on the screen long enough to actually read and actually add to what is going on in the video. It’s clear that you spend some extra time to put out some quality stuff.
Nice video. Safe travels George.
Nice video great fishing
wow, those views were beautiful. excellent video
Wife and I just returned from Dayton, Ohio to visit the Air Force Museum. We drove and the thing that made the long trip better were the new outer loops in just about all the larger cities. That made the trip seem like one long ride in the country.
Nice road signs!
Lived in Buffalo for years, love Wyoming and your videos there. The North South railroad has an interesting history from the 20's and 40's. Love being a member...thanks
Thanks for your support Ritchie.
The instant you said you were going to fix that reel I said to myself he's gonna get one 😂 without fail!
Nice clip, going along at a pretty good speed.
Great video George it’s also great to see you fishing, shame the brownie (trout) snap your line though.
Good luck, stay safe and I look forward to the next video.
Recently found your channel. Love watching your railway journeys through the States. This almost certainly wouldn't be a possibility over here in England/UK as our freight trains are much smaller and, it seems, have much more security.
Great content as ever. Perfect music choices too. 👍🏻
I like to click the frames one at a time, each shot is a perfect picture, especially as the train carriages arch out in the front ., No way would you see anything like that from a passenger train. Strange no artist has never tried to capture it in a painting.
New subscriber here, enjoying your videos. I remember making those cross country runs on I-80 before those unsightly wind turbines! Still a lot of beautiful scenery between nyc and the Oakland bridge.
@@stevewilson1388 welcome aboard!
Hi George, Happy 4th July to you. That shot at 26:07 on the curve is awesome. The train you were on looked huge. Thanks for another great video.
I think that thing was a couple miles long. I’m pretty sure it was the Chicago to Portland Z.
Hope you had your ear plugs on for that one George, thanx for the ride!!!
25:12 Shadow of a giant bird on the rocks. Look out -- I hear they're carnivorous!
Rest in peace shoestring. Shure miss his videos 😊
Enjoy the ride stay safe
Wide open country, flat as a pancake 🤓
I found the crush washers for my motorcycle when the first song played. Thanks! 🇺🇸
What a scenic ride passing turbines,freights and the vast landscape, nice ride!🛤🚂
Yer still doing the thing sir. Wow!
👍
I like your videos George, way cool.
Countryside and the scenery is fantastic. Would like to see more of you catching and getting off the train.
Alls good.
Stay safe and have fun.
Beautiful days on the ride out George, made for some amazing scenery draw distance Wow 👌 😊
Such beautiful views. The nerve of that fish, breaking your line!
Happy 4th to you and Terry, George. Stay cool falls coming!
Thanks Larry! It’s been a pretty cool summer for us so far with lots of rain. I’m actually hoping for a little heat! Hope your summer is going well.
That double windmill,turbine shot was sweet
I think the first video I ever watched of yours was Green River. You were flying the drone. All the good train riders travel through Wyoming👍 A state that I have yet to say I've been. But I will! Next year. Brutally cold winters and contrasting hot summers is what I hear. But great beauty imo, and I would love to photograph there. Where you headed from here George? Stay tuned I hear you say!
I’m finishing up a programming project then headed north for a quick trip!
Happy Independence Day to you! Love your channel George.Happy Trails & lookin forward to many more of your adventures!!✌💙⚡🇺🇸
Tuned in right on time.Thanks George.
Happy Independence Day, George.1100 miles is a backbreaker.
Mr. G, tell me where does your music come from? Been loving the sounds for awhile now, and would love to get back to rideing trains.
@@patrickbudd7689 I subscribe to licensing service called Epidemic Sound. They have a large library to choose from.
Looking at the endless seas. Of the grassy hills and valleys you’re passing through; just beautiful.
Then, as a Brit; to think you stole all this from the native Americans in the 1850’s and 60’s….my great aunt, who was born in the 1860’s and who I remember as a child was alive then…how does it sit with you all in good conscience? I can’t comprehend that no one seems to feel any guilt about something as unjust as that, and just live with it?
A Brit lecturing anyone about stealing land is comical. I’ve never heard of Brits paying anyone reparations for all the land they stole…
I do my best to make sure we do what is right going forward, which is still a struggle. It’s becoming evident to me that adopting the respect for the earth and nature that the indigenous folks around the world have would do us well.
George, great trip man. I think we all remember that 'line to Denver' from one of your previous trips!
Haha, yes, the line to Denver. It worked out ok in the end, thanks to the Z-DENCHI!
Hi George Happy 4th. Nice video I am surprised that you didn't catch any shots of the station and roundhouse in Cheyenne
@@scottford8736 I tried to get the roundhouse, but didn’t realize the camera was zoomed all the way in. I had just picked it up and started shooting, and the footage was a mess. When I get tired I do stupid crap like that all the time. I also missed a badger that had something in its mouth near the tracks. I was anxious to see if it was prey or one of its kits it was carrying. In the end, I had totally missed it. Speaking of missing, I slept right through Cheyenne and most of the towns west of there!
@@Jumpingoffthecliff well that just gives you reason to go back
And if you get off there walk around the station. We were there years ago walking in the station and a ticket agent asked us if we needed help. We said we were from Ohio fans of the road and he said hold on had another guy take over and he proceeded to take us down into the basement of the station through a tunnel and up on the other side of the tracks gave us a personal tour of the roundhouse and the diesel shop we were able to get on several pieces of equipment including a rotary snow machine the parts engine for the 844 and others it was so very special
@@scottford8736 that’s fantastic. That building is truly gorgeous. I hope to make it to Cheyenne once more this summer. I’d like to ride the BNSF line to Graybull.
Really enjoyed the video George. Loved the comment about the windmills ! I prefer the old ones myself ! So much more appealing to the eyes. You had a great fishing spot there, a back eddy close to a bank with grass. " Trout Haven " !!!!
Plenty of wind energy in Wyoming, lol.
Beautiful ride on a very long train. The trouts in the Green river might not be what I would eat, especially looking at the solution eddy at the river bank.
Episode 3 but I caught on. Beautiful video George. Love your educational captions and the periodic music. Happy belated 4th of July 🇺🇸. Hope you had fun. BTW...You are not only entitled to age protection, but also age discounts. Cheers buddy 😊
Right on cool
Happy 4th of July to you. From here in Canada
Thanks David!
Cheyenne Frontier Days is the Largest Rodeo in the United States. The Calgary (Alberta Province) Stampede is Home to the World’s Largest Rodeo. 👍🙏
THE HOBO SONG (C)2006
FTRA ride on!
HEY GEORGE, LAST I HEARD FROM YARD
BUZZARDS , THEY WERE HEADING TO
GREEN RIVER AS WELL. THAT WAS A FEW
DAYS AGO..
SAFE RIDES
===DRIFTER===
You could get some spyder line for your reel. Its really strong and light weight. Nice ride and views, Thanks for the video!
There have been a few people who use spider line for tippet. It’s a little thick for tiny flies, but, big brownies or rainbows in strong current definitely call for that kind of strength!
looks like the typo is back in the description. also great video, love those grassy planes too!
Oh dang, I must have typoed it in the default description.
Didn’t a former president say those windmills cause cancer 😂😅🤣
I do not know, but those windmills are ugly as sin, and sin is pretty ugly !
They only cause cancer in California. 😊
You didn’t show how you got through the Bailey yard?
@@johngeorg9491 I was getting stormed on so I basically waited it out in my bivy.
Perfect time for a new video. This week was a grind. This video on a Thursday night makes it possible to make it through tomorrow (eight hours until the weekend).
💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
This is my first hop since Mark passed away George,
R.I.P. Shoestring! What a legend!
@johnscherf1228 I actually felt sick upon Mark's body was found, it's a very strange moment as I live halfway around the world and never meet Mark ,as a ex army with addiction and PTSD, every episode was a truly wonderful experience, thankfully George is very good, LEST WE FORGET.
@@warrenjohnknight.9831 Thanks, I understand. I felt bad too, I bought a backpack from him back in 2020 which I posted a dedication to him. He will be missed! 😢
Sure is flat just like Kansas
👍🚂🚃🚃✌️
Remember, it was the beavers 🦫 who damed it, Brother. :) God bless you.
