“The godly may trip seven times, but they will get up again.
But one disaster is enough to overthrow the wicked.
Don’t rejoice when your enemies fall;
don’t be happy when they stumble.
For the Lord will be displeased with you
and will turn his anger away from them.
Don’t fret because of evildoers;
don’t envy the wicked.”
Proverbs 24: 16-19 NLT

Wow, thank you for the shoutout! That really means a lot. I'm a big fan of your channel too. Keep up the great work in promoting our favorite hobby! -Drayton
On a trip to Santa Fe, we stopped at the New Mexico State Visitor Center! While we were eating a picnic lunch there, five trains passed through! It was amazing. Due to road work north of the center we took western route through the middle of the state. We saw at least ten more trains! We were later told that all of this was a major train route from Chicago to Los Angeles! I was excited!
I completely agree with this. Every work day on my lunch break, I'll leave and pick up fast food and go sit at a public parking lot right beside the tracks. Most of the time I'll record a train and see if it happens to have something I feel like is an interesting catch such as a fallen flag car or a heritage locomotive. If I so catch something that I believe is a rare catch, I'll post it to my channel. Rail-fanning is also a great way to get weathering ideas for everyone and graffiti ideas for those who are more modern era. My rail-fanning spot (Cabot, AR) has a double main with a light curve at the parking lot right off a 6 mile straight section where I can see a headlight miles away and have plenty of time to prepare for a train. Also there are a set of signals that will let me know if a train is coming from the other direction and I typically have 10 to 15mins to prepare based upon the speed of the train. Jawtooth and Distant Signal are other good channels to follow for rail-fanning as well. - Jason
I thought that railfanning was about keeping track cool in the summer heat.
A great youtube channel that I find useful is Danny Harmon's Distant Signal. This guy is a professional and gives great info, answers questions and just provides a quality show.
Absolutely, I really enjoy watching Danny's videos.
Yup. One of my faves too.
Love his food reviews!! Chicken sandwich and a sweet tea…
Railfanning is fun.
been checking out types of cars at a local concrete industry I'd like to model. So I would "second" your video. Thanks again ,Jimmy. Keep'em coming.
Jimmy, very much on the mark with this post. For me and my wife, we model in HO, railfan down in our village, travel by sleeper car when possible. NEW THIS YEAR, visiting Rail Road museums, starting with Illinois Railway Museum later this season. What is your favorite railroad museum?
On our early morning walk today I heard five different train horns! Walking trail is not near these tracks! Fun to hear them beginning to move early morning! Fort Worth is a great place for rail fanning!
Great commentary. I have started modeling modern railroads and railfanning is a must . I live near Elkhart IN which is a big midwestern hub so there is a lot of movement. This has also gotten me back into rail photography which I used to love doing, but backed off for several years due to family and job. Now that I have a bit more time, I'll be trackside more often. RUclips has an endless amount of sources and channels. I modeled a Swiss railway last year and saw dozens of videos of railroads in Switzerland for reference, proving you can live far away and still have resources.
Definitely a great way to enjoy railroading. Nice Mug and the cup isn’t bad either.
My drive to and from work follows the railroad. Passes a metra station. I know ive seen canadian national, but i cant remember what else i usually see, aside from 2 idiots who tried to cross the tracks as the lights came on and the guard arms came down. They made it, but man it was rattling. Cars don't beat trains, folks.
I can rail fan on balcony. Trains go by 3-4 times a day. Then the main line that also is a border crossing is only a couple miles down the road.
I grew up both railfanning and model railroading.
I love going railfanning. It's just so hard to keep up on posting videos because I've gotten so busy, however, I personally really enjoy having my Year in Review videos on in the background as they are each an hour and a half or so of just trains. There's a playlist on my channel for my Year in Review videos.
There is very little Venn Diagram to show when it comes to model railroaders and railfans. It's basically a slightly smaller circle within a big one.
Coffee is from Sheetz this morning... French Roast!
This is a great resource for places to get ideas and prototypical operations. The only I wish is there was a place to find for lines in the past and such!
The only caveat for railfanning is it is only relevant if you model current times. I model pre-1959 so my only options are vintage video footage or looking for a tourist railroad that hosts photo shoots of the "old days" but those are private events for photographers only and they cost $$$$ to attend whereas I can just wait for them to upload it online for free.
This is where you need to get ahold of things like rule books, employee timetables, and official railway equipment registers for the era and railroad you are modeling.
I do both, and lehigh heavy forge has some really different ways to do cars, I photograph, them, then have decals made(CMR), paint, and make loads. it is fun.
Star$ blond roast in a k-cup ☕️
Great video! Just need to solve the time machine to railfan operations of steam era!
lol I was railfanning then modeling so I was already doing this
As a child, I remember the Erie Lackawanna Northern Branch that ran past our house. There was only one local frieght that ran up around lunch time and returned around dinner time. I remember waiting anxiously for these two glorious but fleeting times of the day. (My grandparents also lived next to New York Central's West Shore Line, which provided a whole different type of excitement!) I remember thinking to myself that I must find a way that I could experience this excitement any time of the day. Not long after, my father was given a Life-Like 4x4 styrofoam HO layout. That began the hobby of a lifetime. the two hobbies always went hand in hand for me, and I never understood how some guys could participate in one exclusive of the other!
Cool, awesome and groovy! thanks for sharing
scale RC vehicles is a pretty cool one. its not too popular here in the states but in Europe and japan have made plenty of 1/87 rc vehicles, most if not all custom made
Phones are good for railfanning. Often times, I'm in the right place at the right time as a train is coming, even when I wasn't expecting one, and as my phone is almost always with me as I'm out and about, it's quite convenient. As my current job often has me traveling the local area, it allows me to take quick shots of the locomotives or something interesting, then get back to business. These quick shots are now proving good for posting RUclips shorts. Shout out to the channels SEABOARDSYSTEMfan, Distant Signal, Railway Productions, and 7Idea Productions.
Good morning! I’m drinking Thanks a Latte Mexican Light. This is roasted in Camp Verde, Az.
Will check it out. On my way to and from work I go by tracks all the time and get to see trains. I have seen some really good graffiti on the cars. My area is Southern Pacific in Oregon. I have to be careful because I am always driving and can't just stop to watch that's down side unless the lights turn red at the one spot. Thanks for sharing this information.
GOD BLESS 🚂💖🚂💖🚂💖🚂💖
At 3:57 my first thoughts were "now that vegetation looks a bit weird... This ground cover on the slope has great texture, but might need more colour variation." Then it dawned on me that this isn't a model.
After work at night i would sit by the tracks in rivertown la and watch the trains go by now that I work days it's hard to do
I am in the UK and I check out the VRF daily compilation on You Tube every morning.
I like the YT channel 7Idea Productions. I'm in the UK so t'Internet is the only way I can see trains operating in the US.
Where did you find that great coffee cup?? I'd love to have one!
Drinking good ole Maxwell House!
there are a few apps too that listen in to the radio chatter too.
Tea…
Cold brew
As part of the Canadian RUclips Mafia. We use railfanning to meet up with each other. Bring the BBQ.
I'm the oddball honestly. I railfan, model railroad, but first and foremost I play rugby and australian football competitively at an amateur level 😂
My rugby team went to New Orleans for playoffs and I was geeking over the streetcars on the way to the hotel, and gawking at some KCS engines working a yard on the way to the pitch
Dude I wish Aussie Football was more popular in the States. It looks like so much fun.
@@DIYDigitalRailroad babe wake up, model train tutorial man knows the AFL
Great channel. Just about to start designing my first set.I do not have any woodworking skills (thinking of doing an evening class) or moddeling skills. It all feels very daunting at the moment. I like to think in advance because for warned can be for armed for example producing a design that is easy to keep tidy and clean. Have you done a video on cleaning yor model railways i.e trains, landscape, buildinge etc?
Where is that Amtrak bridge over the beach shot at 3:13?
I need to both railfan and beachfan out there!
I watch Steel Highway Railcams and drink Peet’s Dark Roast
There are only 2 round trip short local freights per week in my area. Hard to watch freight.
Check out Jawtooth!
I never considered those 2 different hobbies ….
The only thing appart are train sims… i never cared to spend hours stuck in first person view…
Hello
I find that model railroads an being a RUclipsr go and in hand…
I dont drink coffee. I don't even like the coffee flavored candy.
SAFETY FIRST - Jimmy, while safety near the railroad is important, personal safety is more important. Not every railfanning spot is in a "safe neighborhood". A digital SLR camera and a scanner could make a railfan stand out like a sore thumb, especially in the eyes of the criminal element. Heck, a scanner alone could be mistaken for a plain clothes officer's two-way radio. And that could end badly for you.
Bottom line: be aware of your surroundings. Know where your are going, don't go alone, and be vigilant.
Jaw tooth
I've tried it every way it can be made and brands. Nope. Not for me.
And then your gonna buy a camera to share your railfanning and model photos, and go down the photography rabbit hole...
Naw, thanks, but railfanning is not much help. I like steam and early diesels and railroads pre-1965. Not much of any of them left in the wild. It’s mainly all modern stuff and everything is graffitied something terrible! I hate that! Oh, and there’s no passenger rail to speak of out there. Maybe some modern Amtrak but who cares about that? Besides, real trains are noisy and dirty and railroad cops are just another breed of uniformed thugs guaranteed to give a person a hard time. I choose to stay home where it’s nice and quiet and clean and the only person giving me grief is my missus.
