Now there's dedication with the photographer being out there in the snow.
The snow certainly gives a different perspective.
I used to live just minutes from here. Good times!
Great videos. Winter conditions add to your outstanding pictures.
Superb video, glad to see you uploading again, brilliant work, thanks 🙏👏🇬🇧
Always well done and enjoyable.
Thanks for this footage from Porter! I grew up in MIchigan City and remember visiting the Porter tower at least once. I was interested in Porter because the former NYC (MIchigan Central) and C&O (Pere Marquette) lines coming into Porter both went through Michigan City. If I remember correctly, in the early 20th century the Michigan Central crossed over the NYC at Porter and continued on to Kensington where it met the IC, not far from where the South Shore joins in. A leftover from this was that the James Whitcome Riley from Cincy to Chicago went to IC's Central Station instead of La Salle Street until Amtrak took over (but I don't think by the original MC route).
Correct, the MC passed on around to Kensington - one of the tracks is still there, operated by the IHB to get to a scrap yard. Once the MC was absorbed by the NYC, it was of course only a matter of time before the shorter Waterlevel Route became the standard for trains out of Michigan, and also routing most of the freight from Detroit off the MC and onto the Waterlevel.
Per usual, excellent work on the camera. Hoping for more content!
Great to see you back with a video!
Very nice. Nothing better than trains in the snow.
railroaders would disagree with you about that.
Great scenes with the trains in snow!
Great video! Thoroughly enjoyed the snow videos!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Where did you go bud? Miss your videos.
What microphone do you use? It has some nice directional contrast to it.
I like train videos videos on RUclips 👍
hope youre doing well m8
Do you know what year the tracks that went from Mayville Michigan to Caro Michigan were built and when they were torn out?
Thanks.
Is the channel abandoned?
CP 8146 was CP 9599.
And are you planning on producing new videos at some point?
Why do some engines have blinking lights and others don't?
Are you talking about the flashing forward lights, or the strobes on the Amtrak engines?
@@ThornappleRiverRailSeries The forward lights.
I just discovered your channel I absolutely love it.
I am, however, dismayed by the complete carpetbombing of ads throughout the videos.
An ad every 90 seconds to 3 minutes is not enjoyable.
q on csx is now m
