Top 10 Catches of 2023

The year 2023 had a lot of fun, cool, and interesting things happen while out on the rails. This video features my top ten catches of 2023, and some bonus runners up!! There's a little bit of everything on this list; steam, old, new, rain, snow, sun, and lots more! All in all, this last year was a memorable, fun, and exciting time to be trackside!
There are plenty of things to see, and lots of action. I hope you enjoy the video, and that 2024 is even better!!

Which one did you like the most?

[@rickdee67]

I’m an old guy I like steam , that consolidation storming across that bridge was pretty cool. But they were all magnificent shots.

[@rickdee67]

And that Soo line high bridge is so cool.

[@davidquarles5965]

I like your videos, they are some of the best train videos. I wish they had CC enabled, as I miss most of the narration.

[@SD457500]

Thank you so very much, and I appreciate the feedback. I'll see what I can do with the CC, and get it working. I don't want people to miss stuff!

[@SD457500]

Great to hear you enjoyed the video! I truly appreciate the kind words. Let's hope that 2024 is even better!!

Very enjoyable compilation. Nice that you got a cab ride, just a shame it was on a diesel and not a steam loco! (Another day maybe huh?)

Thank you very much, and glad you enjoyed it! I'm always seeking ways to improve content, make them more engaging, and overall better.

Nice subjects along with great camera work and iinformative narration.

Great to hear you enjoyed it, and I appreciate the kind feedback! Thank you for watching!

Nice catches... I wish I could get out to new locations, and catch other units other then what I see at Pig's Eye

[@SD457500]

Go for it! So much to see outside of Saint Paul Yard. Thanks for the kind comment, and for watching!

[@kkoch666]

Very nice! UP GP60,s next?

[@retr0bits545]

I am pretty sure Rock Island Rail got three of the CN six axles that were retired prior like CN 2127 which is painted in the Rock’s Red and Yellow. The other two will be painted in “Reborn Blue” like the GP38-2s, the GP15-1, and the NW2 that they have. The same will go for the BNSF units but not the high hood GP10 which will be painted in the “Route of the Rockets” red, white, and black scheme.

Duluthian here, loving to see all the videos! DM&IR fan here aswell. My Dad & I filmed the 332, and I was on the return trip home. (Volunteer for LSRM btw.)

[@SD457500]

Very neat; I wonder if we have crossed paths before when the 332 was running? Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for watching!

[@nssrrailfan6443]

@@SD457500 We have. I saw you filming when 332 came in to Knife River.

[@millennialtrainman3443]

Great video! Ahh that sure was a good day when we encountered each other catching GALNTW with 3167 leading at Como. Your shot is nearly identical to mine lol

[@rickdee67]

EXCELLENT VIDEO! This is the coolest video I’ve seen in a while! Keep up the great work!

[@AndreiTupolev]

That is a fantastic panoramic landscape shot from1:50.

[@SD457500]

Thank you for the kind words, and glad you enjoyed it! I love the High Bridge, but it can be so hard to shoot trains in good light.

[@minnesotarailfan12]

Can’t believe the C6Ms are taking so long to arrive on the Missabe! So far only a few have appeared.
