Midwest Trains 2024

- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- The Midwestern United States is home to a wide variety of different trains and railroads. Everything from fast commuter and intercity passenger trains to steam powered excursion trains can be found here. In the summer of 2024, I was able to spend several weeks documenting many different trains for various upcoming video projects. In this video, we take a look at just a sampling of some of the trains I saw in late July and early August in the states of Minnesota, Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Indiana, and Michigan.

1:59 Bruh Metra 411 blaring it’s horn through town, it’s crazy! Plus the K5LA is bloody beautiful to listen to my ears!
I was very surprised to hear it! I don’t remember any of the MP36s with K5LAs that sounded that nice!
Man, it's nice to see a CoasterFan video in the Midwest!
It was nice to visit! Hopefully many more times in the future!
I do not think you could've picked a better thumbnail for this video Mike. Again, great work!!!
Well thank you! I had a few finalists for the thumbnail but settled on this one as the best choice. I always like those train meet scenes!
This one was easily the best
@@CoasterFan2105you always make good videos
7😉😏👀
THIS IS EXACTLY WHY I 100% LOVE STEAM LOCOMOTIVES THE MOST 🚂🚋🚋🚋🚋🚋🚋🚋🚋🚋
3:39 nice shot of the SD70MACH!
@ 0:41 Sounds Like the K5LAs GO Had on Their MP40s, Until they Replaced Them with K5CAs in 2012.
CERTIFIED FRESH VANILLA CAKES FOR VERY VERY INCREDIBLE 🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂
❤COASTERFAN2105 RULES ! ❤
That K5LA on Metra 411 was beautiful. Reminds me of the toasters.
I really like the night scene at 6:38
There was one P42 running on the Chicago to St Louis trains while I was out there and I tried so hard to catch them on the 110 MPH segments. I finally just waited one night for the southbound to come through around 10:30 at night. It ended up being the only scene I got with a P42 going over 100 MPH!
❤LONG LIVE COASTERFAN2105❤
Incredible video!! Love seeing the variety of all these railroads in the Midwest and even museum trains.
Nostalgia from your old videos i used to always wake up and put that one for me and my little brother
Maybe I should re-edit all those old Midwest videos from 2008 some day! There are some that I never even uploaded to RUclips. Thanks for watching!
@@CoasterFan2105 and the popular videos bring back lots of memories
Lots & Lots of Midwest Trains Galore, Great Video as Always Mike!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
COOL speed AND train at 2:59
Great video!!! A lot of great catches and spots. 3:28..Wow. I caught something like that at Commerce BNSF a few days ago. It was CRSX 1235, in way better condition but seemed to be heading to the Anaheim Scrap yard.
Was at Chicago,IL and through Minnesota and Wisconsin, part of the Midwest back in mid-June. All those catches are wonderful.
I'd come back to the Midwest soon!
Thank you! It’s a great region for seeing trains.
My dream 😴 is to see those trains 😢😢😢
Great compilation! 👍Have a good weekend!
W video as always!
Also, when were you at GLN (Glenview)? That’s my local metra!
8:01 I saw that train at NBK!
And your GLN Curve shots are amazing! When I was starting out, that’s exactly where I would set up. Love it there. I only stopped because of the parking poles blocking my shots

Hey Mike, when you did the electric commuter train single level, I actually saw one of those and I and in I forgot the state name but like the power plant in the background is actually I’ve actually passed through there. I’m from Wisconsin. Love you Mike. Also, your videos are always great. I’ve been watching your videos since I was four and now I’m nine.
I’m here an 14 minutes after the video is uploaded
Thanks for stopping by!
Fantastic steam locomotives and great diesel trains in the Midwestern United States. Excellently filmed. Many greetings from Germany.👍👍👍👍❤❤🚂🚂🍀🍀🙋♂

Awesome catches Mike that’s for posting this Midwest trains completion as I’m sure many we’re very interested to see the different railroads that ran in the Midwest and got to see some unique locomotives cheers and have a good day,

Thank you!
It's great to see some Midwest trains, Mike! Being from Iowa, I love the opening scene of the Boone & Scenic Valley RR. That's a fun excursion, especially if you're there on the weekends when they're running the steam locomotive.
Awesome!!
I saw a JS locomotive in Guangzhou last week and to my surprise I found a cat and one kitten beneath the firebox
Great video
Was that the steam train 152 from the huckleberry railroad it had a different whistle

I was having trouble trying to find the best railfanning spots at Illinois, but thankfully I’ve seen a few trains there so yeah
There’s a lot to choose from so sometimes, it’s difficult to pick a spot!
Yeah true
2:00 Wow 411 Sounds Great!
2:34 6540 Dang, I wish 2105 will Get The Horn Like This.
6:56 Northstar Since 2016
11:49 90221 Stills Looking Awesome Since Trains Meet And Races.
About a week ago I saw that same exact set up with the Milwaukee Road Heritage MP36PH-3C unit and F59PH unit number 99 double header when I was railfanning in Grayslake!
2:07 I love that horn ❤
❤LONG LIVE MIKE ARMSTRONG❤
The rail fanning GOAT is back!
Awesome Video Mike! Keep up the good work!
Many thanks! Much appreciated.
No problem man! Your channel has been a huge part of my childhood and still is now! I’m really proud of your success!
Wow, that was unexpected!

Nice catches! Always makes the day better when you upload!
0:43 you just saw a special engine
You have to go to Greenfield Village in Dearborn Michigan. It's so cool! They have a mason bogie, 2 4-4-0's, and a General Electric 50-ton diesel
I always enjoy your videos Mike! Thanks again!
Love it!👌
Many thanks!
Great video Mike! I loved that part of the video where those two warbonnets appeared that was awesome! 😂👍🤩
LOVE that train at 2:35! SOOOOO cooool in yellow!💛🟡🟨...(and MORE yellow emojis...)
AND the horn as well!
Also, LOVE that train at 6:14! Red, white AND BLUE! Blue is my FAVORITE color! What's your favorite color???
Green

Yes!
I like this video but can you give us information about AWVR in the next Friday
Thanks! Probably not next week, but I’ll add it to the list of future topics!
@@CoasterFan2105 ok my friend if you must know AWVR 777 what's runaway in 2009 but the movie was released in 2010
I saw a a track in Boston with the Serving America 50 years livery on it
I actually saw the amtrak midwest train with the P42 leading the train in near BTL station
2:38
Wait, is 6540 a recently restored diesel locomotive?
Just curious because I’ve never seen it when watching videos about the IRM.
That one is at the Boone and Scenic Valley Railroad in Iowa. It usually runs on their lunch and dinner trains.
Ah, okay, thanks Mike.
7:00 noot noot! XD

Can you do Metra 40th anniversary special with all the collection of Metra trains in and out of Chicago?
Awesome
10:34 it's too bad... it looks like 17 is missing a couple of pieces of it's driving rods mechanism 😢
AMAZINGLY gooooood!!!!!!!!! What does ,,Midwest" mean btw? And where did you take the picture of these 2 (two/too🤣) locomotives?!
I’m glad to see that you finally made it to the Boone and Scenic Valley! How did you like the trains in my part of the country? Did you like the 8419?
Nice video, nice catches
Have you ever railfaned on the Colorado joint line or the brush sub?
10:15 that's a rusty locomotive
is that the BNSF Racetrack ❓❓❓❓
No BNSF Racetrack this time around. I ended up running out of time. Hopefully next time!
Nice video! When's the best time to visit the Midwest?
