Credit where credit is due: the billionaire is a disgrace to humanity, your sister is an artist, and you have a vlog that always brightens up my day :-)
Thanks for explaining Guilford Rail, I saw the engine going from Nashua to Wilton NH and that is some roooough track(CSX is going to be pissed when they inspect it). I knew of PanAm Railway, drove by their yard in Concord, but not that surprised CSX snapped them up. Also thanks for the heads up about Montreal, always wanted to go, but driving through border checkpoints can be a pain. Thanks for a great vid.
"Pan Am Railroad, it's the slowest motherf*king railroad in the system, Here we got an Approach Medium. Now Im wondering, I guess normal speed on the Pan Am is about... 6 MPH, This must mean slow down to 3 MPH at the next interlocking. I've never seen a f*king operating like this in my f*king life!" -Rodney Kantorski
CSX never should have been allowed to bought out Pan Am railways. The east coast is essentially back to what it was during the Penn Central days it's down to two major railroads.
Very informative, again. Politics is fine when I agree with it: and you are absolutely right about that guy's attitude to poor people. The art work really enhanced the video. 👍
I found it ironic that Pan Am had a railroad and a building with their name(now the MetLife Building) that seats nearby Grand Central Terminal. The most hated building here NY. I highly recommend reading The Power Broker by Robert Caro. The book explains why Robert Moses is a hated figured in here NY.
Now you're talking about my neighborhood railroad! Those trains go past my house all the time, along with the Downeaster and the purple trains. Which is another reason why the absence of the north-south rail link frustrates me--it'd be nice if the Amtrak service here wasn't just a disconnected branch that goes no further south than Boston. Or if you could at least get to South Station by commuter rail.
@@Thom-TRA I admit I've never actually ridden the Downeaster, since if we want to go to Portland, Maine, for us it's competing with driving, which is significantly faster and not too big a hassle. If I still lived car-free in the city it would be the best way to go. And it does avoid the traffic jam on summer weekends from all the people going to the beaches.
On another note, I wish CSX had kept the Pan Am name for itself and just ditch the CSX brand. It would have been cool to see Pan Am ES44ACs, double stack cars, auto racks, containers, and trailers.
@@Thom-TRA Thanks for the background info, I've been puzzled by that since I saw my 1st "G" locomotive... Btw, you "guys" do some GREAT videos, from ALL the places I've been & lived: Chicago, New England, Old England, Europe... Great job on the Metra bike-cars & the Heritage Corridor via Union Station. Thanks very much for the work you-all are doing.... Pete C., from NH
@@peterpcampbell9485 thanks, I really appreciate that! I love exploring new places and learning new things about the transit I ride. Glad to share my passion with others who appreciate it :)

Not just that, but they purchased the D&H to give them better access to Conrail for the expected buyout of Conrail. They had controlling interests in SP and N&W and planned to make a transcontinental railroad, once the Conrail deal fell through, the D&H was not needed.
I was going to write something here about despicable billionaires and great artists and you, but Emile Poelman (below) beat me to it. So allow me to second his thoughts!
Yes, you should avoid politics, especially when you have a one-sided, indoctrinated view, exactly as you accuse the billionaire of having. I appreciate the avocado toast bit though, at least you're self aware. Your sis' art is has a fun home brew look and is a refreshing break from stock or internet photos.
@Trains Are Awesome Also, all that money billionaires have could've been used to improve transportation, education, healthcare, as well as helping people in 3rd world countries and helping them from being oppressed, but no they had to be selfish Ignorant people who only care about themselves and don't care about others and what even worse is that they can get their wealth from some of the most cruel and inhumane ways ever thought of. They need to be stripped from their wealth since they don't deserve that wealth, but this would probably never happen due to conservative and corporate politicians like Trump and as a Muslim Pakistani who was born in Chicago. My parents came from a poorer society to get more opportunities in the USA to make a better life, and they went through a lot of struggles to even become middle class citizens, but in the end they still succeed.
kinda odd you only found Pan Am Railroad & CSX just one locomotive to me I don't remember go go up back in the day I only remember gas go up when Broack Oboma & Joe Biden in Washington.
Anything related to GIULFORD, MELLONHEAD,AND PAN AM is complete trash. If he wanted to play with trains, he should have bought a Lionel set. Completely ruined RR's in New England.

Love this comment! Thank you so much! I
told my sister and she beamed
Fascinating! I had never heard of Pan Am Railways. Would never have guessed they were located in New England.
Your sister's artwork in terrific!
I worked for Pan Am in 1986 until they closed down in December 4 1991 it was a great experience being a flight attendant
awesome video! Love the artwork especially of MEC #501. Looks great and good explaining! sad to see pan am go but we all knew it was coming.
Thank you!!
This is a really great video dude, really informative and I learned a lot, thank you for making this!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed!
The company did revive Pan Am Airlines for a while, flying between Pease New Hampshire and Sanford Florida.

Lol
Great video! Very informative! Thank you!!!
You’re welcome! This was a fun one to research. I previously had no idea there was a pan am railways!
Ain't no way pan am is now back💀
Thank you for the pictures 😊
She says you’re welcome!
@@Thom-TRA thanks
Not only do I remember Pan Am but flew on Pan Am many times.
0:23 only 2 engines!?! What the heck!!!!
CSX never should have been allowed to bought out Pan Am railways. The east coast is essentially back to what it was during the Penn Central days it's down to two major railroads.
Great video and explanation; your sister’s art is great! 👍
Thanks! I’ll tell her that
Great artwork. Thank you
Thanks!
Credit for the artwork and the efforts you and your family put into sharing your love of trains with us.
Love getting a notification when you upload
Our fav pan am never dies (technoblade reference?!)
Very informative, again. Politics is fine when I agree with it: and you are absolutely right about that guy's attitude to poor people. The art work really enhanced the video.
👍
What a statement 😂 I appreciate it though!
My sister is a great artist!
When I clicked on the video, I thought of the OTHER pan am
Yep, that’s the idea! I didn’t know there was a pan am railways until I went to Maine this past summer.
I found it ironic that Pan Am had a railroad and a building with their name(now the MetLife Building) that seats nearby Grand Central Terminal. The most hated building here NY.

I love the Downeaster, it was one if my favorite Amtrak trains I’ve been on. Love the area in general, you live in a nice place!
Also, they should have definitely included the NS rail line in the Big Dig. It would have made an RER style network possible.

4:50 to me there is a difference between working hard and doing hard work (i.e. manual labor). What do you think about the Patriot Corridor?
i am going on my first my train Journey to california next year i can’t wait
You won’t see Pan Am reporting marks on freight cars, they use MEC reporting marks. They stand for Maine Central.
Your sis is a great artist!

I agree that would be cool!
@@Thom-TRA 👍
So where did the name: "Guilford" come from..?... I might have expected: "Mellon", under the circumstances...
Pete C., from NH
Guilford, Connecticut was the town Mr. Mellon was born in, I believe.

You are right on target.
Thank you
As of now pan am southern still exists
Biggest Ironys of the 20th Century? lol
0:19 Why does the 747 have only 2 engines?? it’s a 4 engine aircraft 🤦♂️
It’s a doodle, not a schematic drawing, nerd boy
@@Thom-TRAlet’s see i’m a nerd boy for stating the obvious 🥱 gimme a break a nerd boy would have said something along the lines of ur “747 is to short why aren’t there enough windows” etc etc
@@Txloganc “too short” not “to short.” Maybe put the same amount of effort into your spelling as you do in your airplane facts.
Guilford couldn't keep the D&H because Mellon wanted Guilford to be non-union and they weren't having it
I love that haha
Not just that, but they purchased the D&H to give them better access to Conrail for the expected buyout of Conrail. They had controlling interests in SP and N&W and planned to make a transcontinental railroad, once the Conrail deal fell through, the D&H was not needed.
