Train descriptions, including the time they appear in the video are listed below, as well as captions in the video. I wanted to try something new here, I planned on narrating this but didn't have the time, so I left the captions in place instead. Let me know what you think (criticism too!)

Taking a look back at when NS used to be cool. Man, how things have changed...today's NS is not the NS I grew up with. The SD70M-2's, standard cab SD60s, SD60Ms, Dash 8's, and SD70Ms have all but disappeared.
The Dash 9's are becoming harder and harder to find as most have now been rebuilt into AC44C6Ms, same goes for the standard cab SD70s which are now SD70ACCs. Even the SD60E rebuilds seem to be fewer and far between on mainline trains.
Definitely bittersweet while watching this compilation.
This video was very enjoyable. You got lots of trains, but also included the surroundings of flowering trees and flowers. You explained that one disused siding. Lots of details that other train videos don't include. Good stuff.
Great video, thanks also for the knowlegeable explanations, which are sadly so rare on railroad films.
At 10:42 that was the coolest fog ever and NS 4000’s horn made it cooler. Also, very cool video.
I agree, I love that creepy P5, a lot of the AC44C6M's have them.
Love counting the cars
Fantastic video, very informative and enjoyable.
Incredible video! Your videos are some of the smoothest and informative in the entire railfan community. It's always a pleasure to see your videos!
Thanks! That means a lot.
9944 also has a K5LLA. I wanted to see 9941 so bad but now he's stored in. I got the N&W unit btw yesterday
One of the things I love about those K5HLL's at 4:05 is the echoing through the area.
Thanks! There's a few spots out here that have great horn echo off the hillsides.
@@CentralPennRailProductions No problem! I usually go to Greencastle, PA since my mom was born there sometimes on break from work and such. Should venture up to near Harrisburg and Lebanon sometime!
Fantastic video! It is crazy to see how much a year apart NS has changed. No more SD60Is and Ms and no more unit trains. Thanks precision line railroading!!!
The C130 at about minute 16 is one of the new J models you can tell by the props.
That horn on 6707 sounded AMAZING
Thanks for the comments they help explain a lot.
Great video.
Last video with flowers was very cool 😎
Thanks, I like the flowers too.
nice catches mate
Awesome video...
Information was also awesome. Fog train was incredible 👏👏✌
Thank you!
Awesome! Great video as always!
Thanks!
Beautifully shot w/excellent explanations.
Great video as usual! I especially love the sound of the K5LLA on 9941 leading 10N, and the shot of 23M with 4000 because it gives off creepy vibes. Fog that thick would be perfect Halloween weather
Thanks as always! I remember being bummed about not getting a clear shot of the 4000 (which to date I have a couple of sunny shots of it now) but once I got home and replayed the shot I realized how awesome the fog lighting was, it's probably one of my favorite video clips now!
Dude, your level of research and videography is incredible. So lucky to know all of the areas you’re showing. Hope to see you around the tracks someday.
miss the classic caboose at the end of a train
nice video bro
Nice choice of points were to shoot the video from! Loved the "tree"-shot.
Nice Catch
My favorite trains is csx trains from small town danville il.
Super video 👍
say a person lives near the tracks in ..... ah, Myerstown; about how many trains per day would go by their house?
Can you please advise when NS runs trains along New Holland Secondary. What hours of day and days of week. I know they do good business on it. I want to videotape sone of the action. Thanks
First time I’ve seen UP with NS
great video
Thanks!
Super Video. 🇮🇳
Thanks
Hello from Cornwall. This is a truly excellent video. And in my hometown. The Lebanon stations location is one of my favorite train watching venues. In addition to suburb locations, the videography and composition are skillful. Thank you for s fine job.
In the fog sequence, do my eyes deceive me or was the lead locomotive a NS unit in blue and grey, rather than the endless double-ugly black and black?? What’s the story? Or am I going blind?? Thanks again. CAS
It's hard to see because of the fog, but it's a special Blue, Yellow & Gray scheme to commemorate the first GE rebuild Norfolk Southern made for it's AC44C6M program that converts older Dash-9's to AC traction motors, among other things. You can find better pictures online if you search NS 4000. And thanks for watching!
Hi Again. Thank you for the information. I did check other photos and it’s a neat paint scheme. Sorry it didn’t make or to more engines. Just loathe the black on black. Fine job as always. CAS
When you’re at Richland, are you able to hear the symbols of the trains?
Great video! Just curious, when are you going back to the NS Roanoke District?
I am not really sure, I'd go again right now if I had the availability.
Okay! Let me know when you go back! I want to meet you! I’ve been filming a lot of RUclips videos on that line!
Nice video! How frequently do the freight trains pass the town of Lebanon for example? Are there hours without any train passing?
Greetings from Germany
Probably 40 a day total, sometimes you can see 5-6 in an hour, sometimes only 1 an hour. Different times of the days are busier, usually mornings and mid-day are the busiest, then again over night.
Thank you very much for sharing this great video with us and I look forward to seeing more videos I'm going to share it to my new Facebook group called trains across the world my gold behind the group is to bring everyone together in this world to share the love of this hobby in one place from railfanning, how to videos, layout updates, abandoned railroads, photos and anything about train's please feel free to stop by and check out the group and join us
That's cool! Thanks for watching and sharing!
7280 is an sd70acu
How do you know the history of the locomotives
Websites like rrpicturearchives and nsdash9 have a lot of information.
🙃🙃
Man, the sd70acus are kind of ugly
