2023: A Year of Trains in Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 май 2024
- Happy New Year! Thanks, everyone, for joining me for another fantastic year of train videos. It's now time for the annual Year of Trains in Review video where I go back through everything I filmed in the last year and show you some of the highlights. 2023 was another super busy year. While I didn't venture much outside the state of Washington the first few months, that quickly changed. In May, I made another big trip to California, covering several different passenger and freight railroads. Then in June, it was off to Minnesota and Montana for a look at Amtrak, Iron Ore trains, and the Montana Rail Link. Shortly after, I went on a few short trips to British Columbia in Canada. My biggest filming excursion of the year was in July and August, taking me all the way across the US to the Northeast and into eastern Canada. I finished off the year with another look at a few steam tourist railroads in Washington State.
As a reminder, the 2024 Year Update and Q&A video is hopefully just a few weeks away. If you have any questions you'd like me to answer for that video that you haven't already submitted, you can leave them in the comments section of this video. Be sure to let me know that it's a question for the Q&A. Thanks!

Q&A Questions: Hey, everyone! Thanks for joining me for the Year in Review video! I am once again taking questions for my annual Q&A video. So, if you have any questions for me that you’d like featured in the video, post those as a reply to this comment. Thanks!
Hey CoasterFan2105, I have a question that I've actually wondered about for a while, but I sadly never had the guts to tell you. How did you come to your traditional railfanning?
Hey CoasterFan2105 I have a question, when 2024 comes, what is the next biggest hopes for Amtrak?
Are you a fan of the p42s? Do you think they should be retired?
It was our pleasure to you, and you are so pleasant that you made this video for the year in review, and also for Q&A!! 😉😉👍🏻👍🏻
Q&A questions:
1.)Are you going to film the Niles Canyon Railroad or Roaring Camp during 2024?
2.) Are you going to film SP 1744 and SP 2479 when they get restored to operation at the Niles Canyon Railroad?
3.) What’s your favorite engine at Roaring Camp?
4.) Where do you think the F40’s of Cal train are going to go after the Electrification is finished.
5.) Do you have any advice for Railfans like me trying to build a RUclips channel?
This year was a roller coaster for me, in other words, one of the best ones! 2024 is bound to be a big year for us all, especially Amtrak
Looking forward to another great year! Happy 2024!

Every year in review video gets better and better! Amazing video! Nice to see how far you’ve come this year!
Thanks so much! Really appreciate it!
Amazing video Mike!! I love the different varieties of train catches you got, and especially with that introduction also! Happy New Year and I wish you a wonderful Railfanning year next year.
Thank you and Happy New Year!
It's hard to believe another year has passed. Keep up with all the great content
2023 has been a great year for railroading. Railfanning was great in 2023 too. Now Rail Preservation has been picking up in 2023. Its been a long and wild ride in 2023. That's a ton of trains you caught this year.
I still can't believe it's the end of the year already but I am very excited for 2024!
I can’t wait to see 2024 next year. 🙂💖
Same! Thanks for watching!
DUDE ITS ALREADY 2024

Thank you! Hopefully more series like that in the future!

Happy New Year! What an incredible year of trains. I’m very excited to see that you’re going to hit one million subscribers soon, probably in 2024! You are doing an awesome job, and I’m glad to know that you came to Canada (especially the Kettle Valley R.R, my favorite train ride). Happy holidays, and I hope 2024 is amazing!
Fantastic video, very nice the BNSF freight train with the diesel locomotives still in the Santa Fe design. Wish you a happy new year.
