- Well, we all get to the point where we hang up our hardhat! In this video Brian highlights some of the adventures he and Graham had in 10 years of, " Solving Railroad Problems"
Our next video will be... "East Terminal Railway" The dream, the plan and what we learned.
Yes but what about ETR ???? We loved watching it's journey, is it over also ????
Tim ( and all of you ) There is an ETR update coming! Thanks for your patience. Brian and Graham
@@eastterminalrailway5975 Graham's back in? Woo! Not much better than a Father/Son duo!
@@eastterminalrailway5975 that’s awesome to hear that
I have missed you 2 looking forward to it ❤
I am in the railroad Buisness for the company I work for. JOSHUA GRADING in Southern California and Arizona and I truly miss ETR videos. How soon can we expect new content?
Miss ETR first notification I've gotten in a year...
Brian , from the ETR nation. We are proud of what you have done on your journey and endeavors . I came out to your place and you and Mrs ETR were such a pleasure to be around! I gleaned a lot from you both in that short time. I even had the pleasure of working for ReRail America and donned a jump suit. Brian , I know you are a God fearing Patriot , that I get to spend eternity with- by our mutual faith in Christ. I met you and Graham @ a meet and greet in Morris , IL. You are a genuine person with a lot of heart and soul. I appreciate - we @the ETR appreciate you and this channel . God Bless America
God Bless you all🙏
It was our pleasure, and if I had time I would meet everyone that has taken this journey with us! B.
It's sure nice to see you again
Thank you! Your long distance friendship means a lot to us!
Thanks! Your long distance friendship means a lot to us! Brian and Graham
Happy retirement Brian . Well deserved. We will miss you. You always made us feel welcome and like we were right there with you.
I appreciate that
Brian, your impact is seen right here. According to RUclips, about three hours after posting on a Monday afternoon you had 1890 views and 444 likes. I doubt many "inactive" channels would have been kept in the Subscribe and Notify lists without the respect you gained over the years. That website is also a gem. Tells the story, shows the experience, and the psychological impact of moving cars on the contact page is pure genius. May God continue to bless you and your family in whatever field you serve.
Thanks for the kind words, I have been so blessed. I have had adventures and have seen and done a huge variety of things! I even worked on the Space Shuttle, I'll tell you about that someday. B.
I wish that somebody would keep an old copy of it for good memories. I'm tempted to try.
I hope somebody buys the business and continues on.
@@eastterminalrailway5975were you a firemen?
Hard working patriotic Americans ... You set an example for others to follow 👊🏻
Thank you soo much! This has been such an awesome era.
We all loved to be a part of your family Brian from white castle to the safety briefings to showing us all how out of the box thinking gets things done safely every day!
Except for the ( many ) "one" write up for safety. P. Crukshank Safety Director, logged the other events as "training" LoL!
It was comforting to hear your voice, love of your endeavors and family, and that slight chuckle. God Speed RRA and ETR!
My heart goes out to you and your family on the loss of this son ... at Arlington he rests among fellow heroes.
Sorry to see you go, even at 75 I still enjoy seeing dedicated people at work.
Was just thinking about the ETR and wondering what was going on a couple of days ago! Here you are! So glad to hear your voice again! One of my favorite channels. 😀
I’ve missed viewing your videos. Happy to see another. God bless
All these years I watched you on every episode of ETR.
Not one word or link on Rerail America!!!
I’m blown away by this website. 10 years I could have enjoyed your awesome work
Sure miss you. I pray for your future and that you can celebrate the successes of your past.
Thank you Brian
Brian, thank you for the video and update. I have to say. I have been to a lot of farm shows all over the country. Getting to meet you and attempting to revive that old gas motor at the national pike show with the group of ETR fans is definitely within the top 5 funnest days I've ever had. Thank you for bringing us together and hope someday our paths will cross again.
Thanks guy! That was a fun afternoon!
Congratulations on retirement Brian. We will see Beau again one day. Til' Valhalla Beau!
Brian, I have been working on a small MOW gang for a short line. I wear my ETR shirt almost every day I am out there. You most certainly inspired me to do this. I look forward to your updates on the ETR.
Wow, well I hope its a satisfying and rewarding career! To keep your interest and professional growth going look at the history of how much ( and how sloppy ) was the trans-con RR track laid!
How on earth did I not know about the website when I used to watch the ETR videos??? I always looked forward to your progress reports on restoring the rail spur in Columbus. You had thousands of us cheering you on as you cleared the tracks and bought equipment. I never did understand why the vision of rail car storage never materialized. I didn't know much about your other work, nor did I realize you had a website. You have been missed. Enjoy your retirement.
There was never enough revenue to cover labour and expenses. If he had a volunteer sales team, then he might have had a chance, but he never let us help.
Never Unsubscribed hoping you'd return. Plus 1 for more ETR videos!
My best wishes to you. I thank you for ETR and regret not knowing about ReRailAmerica. Happy retirement!
Good luck and Godspeed in retirement. As to the industrial/shortline adventure, speaking on behalf of all of us watching here, we're all still pulling for you irregardless of where you go on that.
I recommend to leave the website up and create a referral relationship with the providers who will service customers.
It’s a great way to get referral commissions on work. That’s what I did when I retired and shut down operations.
Great commission checks with the right relationships, easy money.
Happy retirement, Brian. I'm sure Graham will take good care of the business.
It is good to see you are dong well. I am sad for the loss of your son. Thank you for being real and sharing that with the ETR nation. Our men and women in the military deserve far better than they have gotten in the past four years. As a dad with two childred currently serving, I say a BIG Thank You to your son and God bless you too.
Thank You And may our Heavenly Father protect and guide you and yours. Beau was Navy, I did 20 as a Coast Guard Reservist.
It’s so fantastic to hear from you Brian! Congratulations on retirement. I hope to hear about the ETR. God bless Bud. If you’re ever in Florida, look me up.
Will do! What city?
Brian! Fair Winds and Following Seas be yours! I really enjoyed meeting you and chatting in Fullerton two years, ago. Best to you and the family! Your videos and presentations have been the reality in full force! You've been an amazing person! May God Bless Beau...he is among his brothers and sisters in Arms, and is now in the enduring arms of our Father.
"May your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in Heaven."
Prayers are Answered

Dreams Come True
Big hugs, PK, The China Lake Squid.
thank you Brian. I throughly enjoyed your efforts and wish you and Graham the best.
Been hoping ETR was still alive and you were just too successful and busy to drop a new video. Looking forward to the next update!
I have missed your videos, please keep us informed!
This is the first time I’ve heard of the website😭
I got so happy to see this pop up on my feed.
What's nice is that you uploaded a template for future operations similar to this in a way. So it might be dead in name, but not dead in concept.
Nicely done,,thanks for sharing,,😊😊
I'm sorry to see the ReRailAmerica come to an end, and I can tell that it is bittersweet for you as well. Happy retirement. I've always loved watching your ETR videos, and wish you the best through it all.
Brian and family, I'm so sorry to hear that your son now rests at Arlington National Cemetery. He's in exceptional company there but the cost to you and your family must have been horrendous. May the Lord our God bless him, and your whole family.
Yes HE has, with a peace that passes understanding!
Hope you will continue the ETR in commentary about the rest of the RR industry. Your knowledge is extensive and always welcoming. Well done sir!
I was happy to see your video today, Brian. I am happy for your retirement and moving on. I am saddened about your son. I hope you can make some new videos on your new journey. I need to get with Dennis at Western Star and see what GE parts he has for sale yet. I know we just got some brake parts about 2 years ago, and he sold all the 65-ton brake parts to us. I just want to say thank you for taking us with you. I been here from the beginning. Thank you.
Dennis is a great guy and SUPER knowledgeable! I always liked the 65 tonner. With 838s.
God bless you and your family and sure gonna miss you. 🙏🙏🙏
I was thinking of you and the ETR today, glad you posted! My grandson is Graham’s doppelgänger, amazing the similarities. My grandson would be younger and is about to start community college in a couple of weeks.
missed seeing you for some time now.glad to see you are OK. good luck, dont stop moving!
Thanks for sharing ,we had similar kit on BR powered from a Road Rail truck which is now left to rot on my old Depot .
Hey if it’s time for retirement then I’m very happy for you. Really enjoy your content. My condolences to you and your family for the loss of your son. Godspeed To ya
Gonna miss seeing your journey on ETR!!!! I am from Columbus and was really hoping you succeed!
Sad to see you go i enjoyed watching you do something a lot of us wish we could do Happy Retirement
Been there Brian. Sad when I closed my shop after 30 years.
Long days .....short years!
It was good to hear from you glad you are ok sorry about your son
Good luck on your retirement. On ETR I see that as a valuable siding but only if sold to existing freight line route.
For a bit, I thought you had pulled the pin and went tropical cobana. Glad for the update!
George you made me LOL! Sounds good, for about 3 weeks. Then I would be looking for something to work on!
@@eastterminalrailway5975 Know what you mean. I celebrated my forth anniversary July 30 on being retired from the railroad, and I've been itching to get back behind the throttle just to be doing something.
And you're welcome for the laugh. I'm available for birthdays, barbecues, and bar mitz-vahs. Local rates apply. 🤣
Thank you for sharing.👍
I was always fascinated by how your small crew could accomplish such huge jobs. You probably feel like I did when I had to tear down my last layout.
Thanks so much for sharing about the Re Rail America Journey...Job Well Done!
Have a Happy Retirement Bryan. We’ve always enjoyed your videos. What about the ETR? 👍❤️🙏
Thank you Brian for the update.
Still wearing and loving my ETR shirt.
I have been following you since the beginning. In all honesty I had given up on ETR. It is great to hear from your again! If you are going to stay active you could give more frequent updates, even just a brief to let all of know you are still out there.
Miss you guys!
Best Wishes in your retirement!!! You have more than earn it!!
Nice to see you back again. So I guess ReRail America is closed for business or did I misunderstand that?
It is good to see a posting by you Brian. From what you said and some of the comments below it looks like you are shutting your company down and retiring? If so best of luck.
It would be most appreciated if you could bring those of us who followed you're ETR progress up to date on what happened with that railroad. Is is still idle, did you sell it etc. I really miss your updates on it and it was sad that Grant moved on to other jobs. You should have my email from when you visited Florida a few years ago (Plant City) let me know if you ever get back down here again. Take Care!!!
Been dangling for a long time. Glad you got around to posting something.
Scott from Accounting: Family run businesses hardly ever become ongoing concerns because the family won't hire to replace themselves and step away. In this case, simply for the love of the work on rails and doing it with family which is worth more than money. Congratulations on your retirement boss! Hope to see you doing videos chasing trains all over.
Good to see you back on here! Would you be able to do a video showing the equipment you used? I work on bridge cranes and have to rerail them from time to time, always neet to see different equipment used in difderent heavy industries.
God bless you and your family.
Congratulations on your retirement. Are we going to see anything with ETR ? If not it was a pleasure watching your videos. God bless 👍👍🚂🙏
Missed you guys!! ❤️
Wow was just thinking about ETR over the weekend, and wondering how you were doing. Congrats on retirement
Missing you guys!
Great video! We will miss rerail America!
Good to see you're still kicking around Brian. Pleasantly surprised to see new although bittersweet content from you.
Enjoy retiring on your terms I've been almost 4 years though my heart had more of a say so than I did.
Brian, it is nothing but an honor in being buried at Arlington. Many who served do not get that honor. Dad lived in the Navy barracks at Ft Myer just outside of it in 1967-68. His request was when he died, not to be buried there and to save the spot for someone more deserving. He also did not want his ribbons on his uniform when buried. He was old school and was one of the last ones to graduate from boot camp before the official end of WW II. He even got chewed out one time by his CO for not wearing his WW II Victory ribbon during an inspection because he felt he had not earned it. It wasn't until after he died that I learned of one of his medal that I never saw him wear. It still is classified as to what it actually was for and is only describe by its coded name on his paperwork that came with the medal/ribbon. Such was par for the course in his line of work in the Navy and few know what was being done. For some of his group, the Cold War became very deadly both in the air and on the sea by hostile actions over/on international waters.
Your Dad is a better Man than I am! but I know that feeling that others paid a huge price while I just did what I was told to do... and I get thanked as if I suffered. As for our Son, he wasn't a hero yet but had huge potential and we are so appreciative that he got to go where so many great men and women have been laid to rest.
Miss you guys
Keep posting, please.
I think about you a lot. Check in from time to time.
Have missed your videos.
Thank You. Walt
Very welcome! Walt, thanks for being with us!
Hey brother, you are in my prayers tonight. I have always thought you were one of the good guys. We've had some good times with the CFD. Every year it seems another good friend or two retires and things aren't quite as fun as they used to be.
I know losing your boy was a terrible thing, but you have kept the faith and I admire that about you.
A few more years and I hope to join you and the others.

Hope you don’t just quit and sit in a rocker! Will miss ETR!
Fat chance!
Hey Brian, have you considered repeating all of these episodes on RUclips ? You can narrate each episode the same way you did this final one. Teach many people the side of the industry we never see or hear about. I bet you would see a following large enough to reward your time spent. Could be fun side for your retirement…
Miss your content!
Thanks Betsy!
sure have missed your videos
Love your videos what is the future of this channel
Can we have a look at the ETR and nice to see you again
Great video, you deserve a grand retirement, any news on the ETR?
Come Back!
The ETR youtube channel has been resurrected from the grave. We thought you were dead. 💀
That's greatly exaggerated! ( Mark Twain )
I wore out my old orange shirt. It was surprising how many comments I received.
My orange shirt lost ALL its printing after 3-4 washes.
Missed your angle on life.
Enjoy your retirement
I wore out my T-shirt, do you have any left?
Farewell ReRailAmerica website
I notice the 'Nolan' (sp?) trailer is equipped with rail wheels. Ever had to use this machine mounted on track, and is the whole assembly a commercial product, or a homebuilt solution?
how is the 2021? lets see it move!!
I’m guessing this is the ending of ETR too?
Was the Cambridge Ohio plant the Champion Spark Plug plant ??
Will we still have field trips in the future
Well Brian what's next
So
When should you continue making the video on the East Terminal Railway restoration?
How did you buy your railroad?
Have you sold the business/equipment? If not, is it something you would entertain?
After $8,100.00 in repairs, and new tires, the Hi-Rail logtruck that Brian sold me has just finished it's first tie sorting job on CSX MP-196.1 Fort Plane, NY.
ETR Will live on 😢.

@@richardbause2453 It's hard for me to read that the equipment is somewhere else. However, it really is a positive thing.
@@eugenetswong
Yes, it is.
I've met with Brian numerous times and he knew people I knew so when his son departured ETR, I expressed interest in the Hi-Rail logtruck.
He really hadn't had it long, used it a couple of times in clearing the track. It did need some real TLC but it was a good deal. We made the purchase deal in May and I came out to Columbus to pick it up.
Spent more than a month getting it dialed in with repairs and tires.
Still, it's running great with a couple of punch list items but all in all it's in good hands 🙌.
Richard Bause.
A sad day my friend. 🥲
Thanks but I have a lot of living left to do!
