- Railfanning Norfolk Southern districts In Macon, GA and surroundings - here just called Maconland - is never disappointing. If this claim requires evidence, here it is. A day full of rail activity near the NS Brosnan Yard has been condensed into a one-hour video. Watch 26 trains with all kinds of EMD and GE locomotive consists and "foreign" units, which includes a UP-patched ex-SP unit as leader of NS 119. Special high-&-wide loads are interesting add-ons as well as the beautiful scenery under the Macon-style blue sky. Enjoy this video as much as I did enjoy my visit. The audiovisual perception is greatly enhanced if you can watch it on a large monitor or screen in Full HD resolution. Comment, like, and subscribe :)

Have I told you that your videos are about the best there is for a railfanner? Excellent!
Wow, that's truly awesome. Thank you very much. I hope I'll be able to keep the standards as high in future productions.
Great video. You have a good verity of locos and rolling stock in your area. Many thanx.
Thank you! This was an exceptionally interesting day. It's not always like that.
Awesome! I was raised in Warner Robins, GA and now live in my ancestral county (still middle GA), and have always loved freight trains. I love this Macon Freight Train Video - you can hear the muscle in those powerful diesel engines. It had the appropriate horn blast, but had enough of the engine rumble that I love. Artistically done. Cool stuff.
Very cool. Thank you, I'm very happy you like the style. I also love the sound of accelerating engines. A train at full speed is quite a blast, but literally feeling the "muscles" during start-up out of a full stop is another mesmerizing railfanning experience. It's great that the camcorder is capable of recording the sounds in a very authentic way. It's really nice to feel the power and if it's just the roar of the subwoofer at home!
Thanks for this video I enjoyed it a great deal. Thanks again for your work I deeply appreciate it
+Joe Leveille Nice, thanks!
That was a great full length feature. You fantastic lighting. Excellent video.
Nice, I'm happy you like it. The light in Macon is awesome. For this and other reasons, it's one of my favorite railfanning towns in Georgia.
I LOVE NS locomotives...I don't know why I like that simple paint livery they have so much. It's so bad ass looking!!
Yeah, I also like them, although filming black locomotives at night is particularly challenging...
Thanks for listing the street locations. I'm way up here in PA. and may never make it that far south, but I Love to follow along on Google maps to see where you actually are filming from. I also don't mind the long videos, if I can't watch it all I can always finish later!
+Edward Hugus Very cool! I know that some people like to track my routes and others actually come visit these places. When I intend visiting other lines, I also appreciate if other video creators provide information about the locations where they filmed. Due to the enormous production effort, very long videos are exceptions.
mbmars01 I understand you put in a lot of work, I get TIRED of always reading comments and people cry about a video being long. So who the heck is sitting there next to them twisting their arms off forcing them to watch it all at one time? Some people batch just to hear themselves I think. SOME people appreciate being able to watch and learn from other people's efforts...thanks to all of you out there!
Thanks so much. I know there are several people who like to watch long videos and don't get tired. If produced well, a long video doesn't need to be boring. My experience is that longer videos perform better than short ones, which may be due to RUclips's way of suggesting videos.
Another great video! Thank You for adding the locations, making a list for when I go down there this summer.
Thank you! Yep, make it your own in summer!
Very nice video, great catches and great variety; I would have liked to see some trains moving in the "heart" of the yard, with locomotives on the hump yard...
Thank you! Well, I would love to do it, but I doubt I would get the permission to film inside the yard.
You see...LOL Someone else loves yard action! Have not watched this one yet. Today and tomorrow with a bottle of wine and chips....Will let u know.
Lol, I had no doubt about it, but to get closer to the yard action would require official support, so if you know a yard master... Take your time, the video is worth it - promised ;)
Great one of the best I've seen, so far, it's really good to know what class the Engines are, D9-44CW etc, saves having to look at the Rosters.
I know, that's why I put the information down. Glad you like it.
Excellent video! Love the Macon train action. Now you need a long lost uncle yardmaster at Inman/Tilford for a 15 hour video extravaganza from ATL! Too bad no overpasses over Brosnan.
Thanks! There's not much yard action in it, but at least you got the long video you asked for ;)
awesome lashups. sweet catches. awesome video.
Thanks, Phillip. I'm happy you like it.
your welcome
Another awesome video, mbmars01! Keep up the excellent work and videos!
Cool, glad you like it.
Nice look On Norfolk Southern 8910 with damaged railings at the 31:34 mark
Well... Lol
Nice Video. Love seeing the large powered engines pulling monster trains.. don't get that in Australia
Thanks. Australia has actually the largest trains in the world which are operated by mining companies.
+mbmars01 most of our coal freight operate 3 engine electric engines and the larger operate 4 diesel in Queensland, in Western Australia, BHP operates the US locomotives with smaller wagons to achieve 200 wagon iron Ore car trains. We don't have double stack/oversize trains anymore
Awesome Video Man havent seen any Green units yet like an hr10 for me to get to lehigh line to busy workin ya know
Thanks! Yeah, I understand it, but Macon is also 2 hours from where I live.
Wow Appreciate All Yur time out there
Superb video!
Thank you!
WOW nice high quality video!
+spacecalander I'm glad you enjoyed watching the video!
Great video as always. I like the graphics you're using also. Pretty cool.
Thank you! It's great that you like the style.
what a great video! lots of cool motive power..do you know what was up with the NS unit having the yellow caution tape across the steps? macon seems like a cool place to railfan, lots of action!!
Thanks for watching! I guess it had once collided with a soft object, such as an animal. Macon is a favorite spot. I always like to return.
only two words........ Thank.You. Great content, Great video. MBMars, if you ever stop doing this, I'm gonna' be pissed.
Many thanks. It all depends on available footage and people who like watching the vids...
I happened on your videos just recently, and during the quiet time at work - 1:30am to 3-3:30am, this is when I watch. As I tell people, up here in Connecticut - the old New York, New Haven and Hartford - I see more Amtraks than anything else..... a few freights, coming out of, and heading up to Springfield, Massachusetts, but NOTHING like what you have there in Georgia. Just keep up to the great work, and I'm gonna' keep on watchin' !!!
Well, the northeast has very busy rail lines, of course, but like everywhere, one has to find these lines and the trains. I'm happy you like the videos!
I hear what you are saying about finding these lines.... but, you how it feels when you can walk just a 1/3 of a mile, and there's the line going from New Haven, all the way up to St. Albans, Vermont, yet, the busier lines are down at the shore, and up in Springfield, and then up towards the Hoosac Tunnel ???? A rail line right outside your door, but you have to travel 50 miles for any real activity...... in plain English, that sucks. So your videos are a real treat.
1:16 There is A 8132 repaired at NY fron Sandersville GA
Nice catches! Can't wait to come down to GA on June 19th!
Thanks. I bet! You've been railfanning before in Georgia, so you know what to expect. Hope you'll have time to go to Macon again! I can't believe it was already about a year ago that we met down there.
Nice power sets. 👍
Definitely. Macon is an interesting spot. It never disappoints. There's always something going on.
Have you ever been around Lagrange, Ga. to get any videos of the trains there. Specifically the KIA plant and all the other industries they have.
In fact I did, but it was on a trip to the west and there was no action during the brief period I spent in LaGrange, GA. So I moved on.
@@mbmars01 Thank you
Around 24:02 was that a transformer unit and other two were tractor part units?
Yes, it was a transformer. I would also think that the other special loads were parts of large equipment or vehicles.
i just noticed how long the video is... and l cant believe how to feel.
Lol, I'm sure, you'll have enjoyed it if you watched it in its full length.
What happened to the front stairs of NS 8910.
No idea.
@mbars01... Did NS 9055 went into the AC44C6M Program?
The D9 conversion has been successful, but idk which engine is currently in the program.
Amazing video with many interesting catches, thank you! I especially liked local G10 trying to compose music (at 40:30). I would buy his album if available :D
I have to say that the editing you did was extremely excellent. I also enjoyed enjoyed the titles about the locomotives on each train. Please keep up this new feature.
Cool, thank you.
Thanks! Lol, I know what you mean; I also liked this mechanical music.
nice video
Do you know where NS 201 originates and goes to?
If the list I use is not outdated, it's a Rutherford, PA to Rossville, TN train.
great catch and great video like always
Thank you!
nice video nice sp
Thank you!
The 'rock train' engines sound like real engines, especially the type I rode back in the day. Today's engines sound like perculators.
Wow there is no way that Southern Pacific unit 6408 hasn't been to UP's Bailey yard in Nebraska for repainting. Yes UP bought SP over a decade ago. Sheesh maybe it hasn't been to Nebraska yet LOL
I did a double take on the SP with same thoughts. Where have you been hiding?
RogerRhubarb you know the funny thing is is that 6408 was in Chicago last year. Its a straight shot from Chicago heading west to nebraska.
I think there are still couple more out that are just patched.
mbmars01 lol yeah I'm still trying to get an SD70M and Dash 9 for my HO layout. Just got 2 NS SD60M for my B day last week
That's nice, it shouldn't be too difficult to find an SD70M and a Dash-9. I should also spend more time working on my layout again. Time is an issue, though.
Why would you not go chase 6408
Chasing is not easy in the Macon area.
Nice
Thanks.
csx fast trans gates down Norfolk southern gates down Dpu Alright gates down csx like 👍 gates down gates like video gates
I Live In Macon Georgia
Great!
I enjoy the videos, but I still find the squished up zoom views disconcerting and unreal looking.
@mbmars01... i've Seen NS 8132 Before!
Cool!
