I’m a 64 year old kid & I love watching this video. Was a freight conductor for the FEC railroad for a few years. Now retired I can be on the train and have a cocktail sitting on my couch with my dog. Always exhausted when on the railroad. Now I appreciate it.
10 more years to go on the fec cant wait
I have been an engineer for more than 31 years. all who have seen this video have really enjoyed it.
What does POV, stand for. A video, ref hauling a heavy amount of coal? The scenery was interesting, especially the Trussell bridges, however not informative. Regards, Patrick, Northamptonshire
@@patrickspeaight9154 point of view my guy.
so what do you think of Railfans like me Railfan Paparazzi of tacoma Washington fan of Southern Pacific
Would love to see the unedited version all the way to Chicago from Minnesota if that exist. That would probably be the best cab ride on RUclips. I've seen the view from the back but it's not the same. Waiting for more that's for sure.
@@wccl In my opinion the best ride in the country (US) is the Ski Train from Denver to Winter Park Resort.
This big 59 year old kid loved it
When I was a kid my dream job was to become a train engineer on the Burlington Northern. I amassed dozens of train books and hundreds of magazines to learn everything there was to learn about trains and locomotives. All sorts of twists and turns happened in life and now I'm a veteran and retired intelligence officer, jaded with extra salt. Seeing this video was like living a happy childhood dream again. Thank you!

@@bobpaulino4714 I miss the caboose. Happy to see they're still in use on freight trains in India.
@@jordanw8382 indeed, the telemetry box has zero charisma !
Dear Mark I'm almost 73 years old and I learn more from your video today than I ever knew thank you so much. God bless and stay safe. 🖖🏼🤟🏼
I'm a retired aircraft mechanic who has always had a passion for trains. This is a fantastic video!! This 63 year old kid loved it!!
For 60 years, I've wondered what it would be like to ride in a locomotive. This is a great video! Thank you!
With only a skeletal long-distance, passenger train network in the U.S., engineers and crews on freight trains get a treat to see this side of America. I always called it, "the backroads of America."
Any of the cab ride vids you watch is pretty incredible. Some trains travel through bleak scenery, especially old clips from the mid/late 70s, with the industry struggling and some urban areas in decline, but others are a model railroader's bucolic dream. Great scenery here, good narration, and I could see why kids would like it.
This 57-year-old "kid" also LOVES this video! 🙂 This was magnificent, and I not only enjoyed the scenery, but I really enjoyed how you explained what some of the sign markers meant. I learned a lot, and it was very entertaining. Thank you!!
65 yr old kid here.
@@terryboyer1342 it's 56 if you turn your numbers around
Lol
56, 65? You are both kids. I'm 75. I love this.
I'm a 65 year-old "kid", and this is the first time I've seen this. LOVED IT!!!!!
At 87, Im not a kid but as an old B&O machinist, I did enjoy the ride. Thanks.!!
Wow B&O?! That's amazing!
It's an honor to get to converse with you.
@@mozeki It is sad to look at the condition of the yards and shop where I use to work in the 50's - Western Div repair center, Newark Ohio. A shambles. Steam ended in Feb of 58, but now even the Diesel shop is gone. Only person Ive ever found was the son of the foreman of the Diesel shop. His dad had been a Tank commander in North Africa during WWII against Rommel. and several of the other older crew had been part if the American teams who went to France and rebuilt much of the rail system we destroyed in the bombings.
@@frederickwise5238 How was it to witness the downfall of the US Rail Network with your own eyes?
it really should be much more vast than it is now. It's like we just stopped expanding from 80s- 2010s. Now I'm more recent years there appears to be a new desire for more rail finally.
@@mozeki Disheartening. I grew up with a love of steam Choo Choos starting about age 3. (twice I snuck away and waited for the evening train in the middle of the tracks. I got enuf of a schutching the 2nd time I didnt do it again. LOL)
When things went south in 58, I joined the Navy and was on Guam while most of the collapse took place. My last train ride from San Francisco to Willard Ohio was Jan 59, 30 days leave from ET school before going to my duty station. Pulled by Diesels.
I get a "steam fix" now and then from Utube vids. I followed Big Boy 4014 all over the country during the Golden Spike centennial days. Amtrak is a poor replacement for the rails of yesterday.
I visited a Yard Master down in Erwin Tn in 2003. The facilities were disheartening to say the least. It looked more like the junkyards of rusted cars you used to pass on the way out of town on "The Limited".
I have a memory that few ever experienced tho. Back in 1955, returning from a H.S. band trip I got to ride nearly 60 miles during the nite on the observation car platform with one of the club car stewards. Watching the signal lights, switch lights, and the stars. Smelling the smoke from the engine - or - was it the stewards cigar? LOL. No it was coal smoke, no question.
Thank you for inviting us along for a ride…..❤
Retired grandma here. Big train fan, loved this video. Beautiful landscape, and interesting commentary. I used to operate light rail before retiring, and was in awe of my 200 foot consists (usually 2 95foot cars). However, your mile+ long freight trains are much more awe inspiring than my piddly little trains. ;-) Thank you again for a great video! 😊
One would think this might have been boring. NO WAY! Excellent presentation, video and especially narrative!
Great job & extremely interesting!
I Remember meeting this guy as a kid at a train show in Shakopee, Mn and I remember my Mom buying this for me on VHS I watched it so much that the tape gave up the ghost... I have looking everywhere for this to no luck... Im glad that this showed up in my For You feed Its nice to remember old memories from growing up
I remember doing that show. very happy this brought back good memories.
As a former Wisconsinite, I really enjoyed the video. The Dells is the only place mentioned that I have actually visited, and that was many years ago as a child. I really like the cab ride videos and would say that this informative one is one of the best. Learned a lot! Scenery was great, too!
I’m an airline pilot, but my first love was trains. Very enjoyable video. Thanks for making!
As a railroad fan not only have I enjoyed the video but I found it educational as well.
That was very enjoyable!! When it comes to trains...I'm a kid at heart! I have been a rail-fan since I was 5 in 1960. Enjoyed seeing LaCrosse, WI and the Dells again! 🚂🛤
btw...it's a hobby of mine to open another window and check out a google map to follow along, lots of fun!!
I love watching trains myself, every time we got to wait one out, I try to sing up every country train song ever written lol. never have I ever ri9dden in the box cab of one "where the engineer sits" but a hundred sixteen coaches long? that's a lot of fright being hauled lol.
Very informative! I'm a long time railfan and advocate, and thoroughly appreciate these videos. I'm also a retired 43 year OTR trucker and I have a real problem with "noise ordinances" which are enforced at the expense of safety. Truckers have the same type situation with engine brakes. We can be going down a curvy road with a 12% grade heavily loaded into a city or village which doesn't allow the use of engine brakes. I guess it's all about safety until it annoys someone and then it's an an egregious malfeasance!
I was a Brickman switchman for the Western Pacific Railroad back in the early 80s and I had a lot of cab rides it was very fun
Very informative! I worked office jobs on the railroad for 40 years, 11 months and 5 days. Thank you!
This is by far the best tutorial on practical railroading I have ever seen. Thank you for your very hard work. You are now on my must watch list.Ten thousand thumbs up. I worked for a few years after high school for the Chicago and Northwestern at the Proviso yard. I was a haustler helper till they found out I was color blind. Oh CRAP! Oh well they put me in the pipe fitters it was okay for a while but I headed west and the rest is history. Thanks again.
Thank you for the glowing comment. I was an engineer for 31 years. Enjoyed all of it.
@@markmckinney6339 did you ever get motion sickness?
I hired out @ Proviso and retired from Proviso 1970-2011 and have seen many changes over the years. They were taken over by the UP in '95, although they were rumored to do so ever since I started in '70. Watching this brought back memories. I wonder what it's like now, after the aftermath of the zombie apocalypse. Must've had a terrible loss of business and I wonder how it has affected the job situation there. It was tremendously busy during the '70s and '80s, with a slowdown mid '80s, although we made more $ due to having to work 12 hrs/day after they took most of the night shift off, so there was a 4hour gap till the day shift came on, and certain afternoon jobs worked 12 hrs.
Love these train rides and can't help but notice the locomotive cab-footage switcharoo passing as same-train footage when crossing the Hastings bridge... the tour of Minnesota & Wisconsin countryside, and lessons on train history and operation are awesome bonuses! CABOOSE alert @ 33:25! I think I saw a driver of a black SUV try to drive around the lowered RR crossing but decided to backup 😄... also in Winona MN
really liked the paper airplane scene changes! the rolled-into-a-tube one was good, too. enjoyed this a lot more than i'd thought i would...
This 72 year old kid loved this video. Two years ago I decided I wanted to learn more about trains and railroading and how it all operates. This video is very informative and I thank you!
Nice to see the old Milwaukee main line along the Mississippi . Worked there when the new lift bridge was built S & C.
ChainsawN&W1218, always nice to see a cab ride!👍🛤🚂
As a kid we used to occasionally see guys riding on the undercarriage of a boxcar. There is an example in the Lee Marvin movie "Emperor of the North" but this was in the '50s before that movie was made. Those guys would smile at us going by probably because we must've been pointing them out to our friends who upon seeing that were just standing there with their mouths open in awe. I haven't seen that for real since but I don't hang around railroad tracks all day long without anything better to do either.
So much fun with your excellent commentary. This was my first trip ever to MN.
I'm a 79 yr old "kid" who loves trains, looking forward to purchasing Railroader train sim video game, and appreciated your informative explanations of signs and rules. Keep up the good work! Thanks!
THat was very relaxing as well as informative. Thank you!
From Australia 🇦🇺 thanks for the ride. These loco drivers have one of the best jobs going
I have driven that stretch of highway 61 many many times over the years. It's fun to see how the view is from the train.
Same here. Lived in Cottage Grove. Now a conductor for CN in Superior
Your title should include the locations in Minnesota.
The Onion Grill in Hastings is where my family has gathered many times in the last 10 years for Mothers Day. They have a Lionel track about 8 feet above the floor and a Lionel Milwaukee Road engine numbered for the engine a family member operated when he worked for The Milwaukee Road. Last time we were there the Lionel engine was down for repairs. I’ve offered to bring one of my engines there to run and the person I talked to was open to that. We haven’t been there in several years because of Covid.
I am 61 and loved your video Thankyou for taking me the ride

Unlike many "cab ride" train videos, this one had some narration, explaining what was going on, which made the viewing much more interesting.
I believe that the men and women that run the trains are just big kids, living the dreams they had as children, about being a railroad engineer. Mine were about driving steam locomotives. I never got to do it though.
Thanks for taking us along for the ride. ;-)
Thanks mark, for all the info I never knew and was always scared to ask about. Cheers mate.
By the way I’m 72 years old and thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful video .
Your a good man Jude....nice meeting you!
I can hardly wait to hear and see your next video!
Hi, thank you for this very interesting trip with explanations on railway signaling as well as safe train driving. I really liked the explanation about the dead man's pedal! in France, at the SNCF we have almost the same control system which is called the v.a.c.m.a, (we also call it dead man's watch) which means: automatic standby with support control . it can be used either with the feet (there are 2 pedals one or the other) or with the hand on the traction/braking manipulator. the delay is 30 seconds in hold and if beyond this time nothing is done by the engineer, an alarm sounds and the brakes are applied automatically and stop the train. on the other hand, if the engineer releases the pedal or the hand lever, the delay is 10 seconds and there is the same procedure for alerting and stopping the train. the landscapes around the Mississippi River are very beautiful and it makes you want to come and visit your magnificent country. I have been a bus driver and wattman (tram driver) throughout my working career. I am passionate about railways and model railways. thank you again for this video. see you soon maybe...
This 59 year old kid loved this video! Keep em coming!!

7 But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee:
8 Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee.
9 Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the Lord hath wrought this?
Romans 10:9-10
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
JOHN 3:18
“He that believeth in Him is not condemned; but He that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
16:37 those two people casually walking over the tracks like a train isn’t coming lol
I loved this video and subscribed too. You have a plethora of information and I really enjoyed that about your video. :)
Fantastic train ride. I would love to see more like this one. My good friend John Dunn worked for UP out of the Roseville yard in CA but has since passed away. Oh the stories he would tell.
Thank you.

Great video with all the info . My Father Maxwell was a motorman on the great Southern Railway in Madras India for 35 years . Thank you and cheers from Australia .
Thanks for the cab ride. I have always wanted to ride in the cab of a freight train and this was as close as I will ever get, but it was exciting. I also enjoyed the commentary that you gave and I learned a lot about railroading. Again Thanks.
I think you’ll enjoy this one as well ruclips.net/video/gZlvgmqHlrQ/видео.html one of the best I’ve ever seen
Mark, Thank you very much. I'm in Winnipeg Canada. Happy Holidays !
Great video, and at Eighty years old, I must be a kid because I thoroughly enjoyed that!
The whistle use would drive one to drink! Enjoyed.
Awesome video!!! Love the view and how you can hear those engines. I have loved trains since I was 6 years old and an engineer stopped in our little town and let my brother, Dad, and myself in the engine! We got to blow the horn and it moved the train just a little bit! Rail fan for life! He even gave us 50 cent pieces . Will never forget it!
Thank you for giving us so much information. I didn’t know lot of train regulations, etc . I will definitely let my 2 year old granddaughter watch this video! She loves trains 🚂 already!!!
Blessed love my brother, great video bro watching from Jamaica west Indies !!
I am 72 I really enjoyed your ride I felt like I was there I was a truck driver it reminded me of my youth thanks for your video Julio from california
That was a great video. I actually didn't want it to end. Thanks for sharing.
You said kids love this video, well I’m not a kid but I think this is an awesome video. TYFS.
well this kid of 62 years old loved the video as well. Thanks.
Fascinating! I wanna see more of this.
Very good video, very informative, good job!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I am not a kid but I loved this video. I am a model train guy and I learned a lot . Thanks
Very educational! Hope you do more of these; railfans have a lot to learn!
Very cool, thanks for taking us along👍👍👍
Nice ride, when you talked about the train light that reminded me of a fact. Up until 1848 all trains, freight and passenger stopped when the sun went down. A man,Mr. Davis changed all that when he ordered the first night train to run from Cumberland, Maryland to Baltimore, Maryland.
Thank you for the ride !!!
Very well done. Thanks!
Thanks for the video ride in the cab. Very educational. Really enjoyed it. Learned some interesting things.
Hope you will make more videos.
Great video--wonderful narrative. I wish, tho, that you would explain more about semaphores.
Very well done Mark very informative video I love the sights keep em comin
Great video 👍 love watching US freight trains on the move.
You know what would make this infinitely better? A camera view of the controls, so we can see how the train is operated. I dont know about the rest of you guys, but I would live to see 54 minutes of control view like 1/4 of the screen in the corner.
I agree, maybe a quick fade in and out for the transitions.
I don't think the railroad would be very happy about that. In general, they don't like people who aren't their employees knowing how to operate their property.
@@devin4l yea, I see where you’re coming from, but it would take some real dedication to know how to properly operate a train. Him explaining the controls for literally 5 minutes isn’t going to teach me to operate their equipment. Because there are still things like the air brakes and hoses that also have to be tended to.
Love this!! This is awesome💯💯👊🏽👊🏽
Awesome video. I lived next to some tracks as a kid.
Waved to the engineers as dutifully as I could.
Thank you for putting this up.
Thank you for sharing ! nice country footage , very enjoyable along with the lesson of train control . Well Done!.
I very much enjoyed the ride and your narration. Loved it....! Thank you!
Great video, very informative, I am looking forward to seeing more!
What a neat video! Thanks so much!
"VERY" interesting and informative dialog about railroading, thanks much!!!!!! JMS
A wonderful ride 😍
Thanks for sharing ✅
I absolutely love this video too! And I'm not a kid.
Very well narrated and done in a way that well conveys the excellence of railway engineering and practices. 2022/12/15. Ontario, Canada.
This is an outstanding video. Enjoyed the ride along 👍🏻👍🏻
A FRED is a flashin rear end device. Or a EOT, end of train device. Conductor buys lunch huh? 😂as a retired conductor, i noticed very long blocks, not a lot of signals on this run. Piece of cake run. Wish my old road trips were like this. Mine were filled with perils. Detectors setting us out constantly, sitting at triple reds for hours for no apparent reasons, dying on the hours of service, having to do switching work on road jobs, (union gripe on that bullshit) . Soo glad im retired now. The joys of a career rr work
Awesome! Thank you.
Thank you for the ride on your train Mark it was really nice just like I was there with you !
Very informative - I thoroughly enjoyed this video from start to finish. Thank you so much for posting and sharing 👍👍
Loved the ride. When I was 6 people asked what I wanted to be… “engineer” I said. They’d say? Oh what kind? I’d say train. TY for the ride. PS those bridges look neglected… need some paint.
Wow we thoroughly enjoyed that train ride with you! Very informative and scenic. We wish you'd make more!
Wollas Cab ride. Great ride.Congrats.
This was SO cool! And I learned a lot! Thanks!
just loved it from start to the end very interesting,lots of things to know driving a train
Hi Mark i just came across your website im 71 years old and have been a rail fan my whole life as a kid we would ride the freight trains twenty miles or so from town to town I can't believe you have so few subscribers ill do my best and spread the word and see if we can build you chanel keep up the great work and ill see your on the high Iron!!
thanks...I really appreciate it. I am really blessed that 9000 people have viewed some of this video. Only posted it a couple of months ago.
@@markmckinney6339 Aren’t there some rules about using or obtaining photography from a locomotive? Beautiful video and great narrating, thanks for sharing!
Amazing video, congratulations. I'm a machinist here in Brazil, or as they call it there, a train engineer. Here our main locomotives are GE/Wabtec AC44i, same locomotive from the video with few changes. Company I work for MRS Logistica SA tmb uses GE C30-7 and C36-7 a lot. Again congratulations on the video.
Now I understand why Crews want more time with there families and better benefits. A company should never work a person to death!
Excellent video. Beautiful creative cuts. Well done.
Enjoyed the video. Thanks for making it
Thanks for the video.
This is such a great video! I’ve rode Amtrak between St. Paul and La Crosse a few times and drove the route many more. The scenery never gets tiring!
Thank you 🙏 definitely likable👍🎥 and free tour beautiful places 🏯🏡😍 plus history on the way 🚂🚂🚂priceless ☝️👏👏👏
Great video !! Thanks for sharing this one. James.
awesome vid, from air from cab, nice
