Hello from a UK Train Driver (suburban commuter multipul units) Just wandering through youtube looking at American railroad video's and found this one, i have had to comment to let you know how immpressed i am with your production. The camera work is good, the commentary is knowledgable and informative but not intrusive or 'over the top', overall a joy to watch. I wish all youtube rail video's were made to this standard. thankyou very much for your efforts.

I don’t know why I enjoy watching rail fan videos. I never worked for the railroad. I’ve lived next to the BNSF in Chicago most of my life. And had an aunt that work for Pullman 40+ years. By far your production is the best I’ve seen. And it’s nice to know the area you film in. Thanks for your excellent production.

I really like your videos. You give solid information in a very pleasant and instructive manner. Wish I could go back in time and grab some steam videos. Both sets of grandparents were in Eastern Kentucky right at the Tug River with then Norfork and Western still using lots of steam pulling mostly coal trains. N&W in house built steam engines averaged more working miles and hours between key servicing than almost every other locomotive brand. From late October thru mid March with the leaves down we had crystal clear views. Since my friend's dad was the Williamson, WV yard master most trains gave us a pull on those sweet steam whistles and a friendly wave. If you can find Sprigg, WV just east of Williamson that's the farm across the river where I spent all my free time. We could hear westbound coming thru the tunnels obvious on any Google map.

Yes...this presentation is approaching 6 years old, but I have been moving through your archive. I must say that I was unexplainably "tickled pink" watching the Amtrak literally scream past the intermodal train....literally brought out the little boy in me! I just love that gentle swooshing sound those lightweight Pullman's make. A question though...any idea what Amtrak is hauling in those Amtrak freight cars to the rear of the Pullmans?

Another marvelous video Danny. Which reminds me, you might start seeing power on occasion from BNSF near Tampa. A friend of mine who works at CSX near Jacksonville says 'If we start getting Bakken Shale oil trains down here like we do elsewhere on the CSX, BNSF power might become a normal sight down here and as far south as Tampa, if not Miami.'

Hello from Jax. This video may be 6 years old as I comment, but your videos never get old. The reason your spot at the NS crossing on Old Kings Road is called Birdville is because the streets in the neighborhood just north of the Birdville Food Store are named after Birds. Not a good neighborhood though. Please be careful around there.

+The NovaBUS Fan Popular enough that even with the maximum number of cars that they can handle, they sell out. The current power demands by the A/C, lighting, and diners pretty much limits the coaches, sleepers, diners, and lounge car section to 20 cars. A DPU setup might take care of the HEP problem but none of Amtrak's locos are setup for it. The auto racks are limited in only the power up front. At one time the limiting factor was siding length but CSX has pretty much solved that problem as they continue to expand their own train lengths.
When I go railfanning we just get to a spot where I can see a signal and wait. I don’t know train numbers or anything. I have just recently bought a scanner and I am slowly learning train numbers. But I have one question, in this video and other videos you see trains being pulled by only foreign power, why is this?

Today was a strange day on CSX. 1. A9716 met A9216 at S. Jesup, GA. In the daylight. 2. A9716 had to hold out of Jax station due to the track being replaced in the station and A9116 was already in there on the second track. It may have had to hold out due to the trackwork earlier. I heard it get clearance to pull but not when it got in. 3. A9716 met A9817 in Orlando station. A9116 may also have met A9817 there. 4. A9716 beat A9116 to Auburndale Wye. 5. A9716 met A9217 south of Winter Haven 6. A9716 got to Miami only about 24 minutes late and got the only usable track at Hialeah Station due to track replacement there too. I was home before A9116 even made it to Miami even though it went thru Richmond VA 4 hours before A9716 and is due into Miami over 40 minutes before 97. A9216 and A9217 were both on CSX track at the same time. And for those along CSX lines, the track crews are out all over laying rail and replacing ties. And my car for today was indeed the car I've ridden in before in the very same room. And the same noisy upper berth that I've quieted before.

+Milepost 282 Productions Amtrak number as they include the date. They do that so on days when there are two trains of the same route on the line, they know which is which. You can't address P098 and be sure that you have the right one. P098 is scheduled to leave CSX trackage at DC at 0707 or there about. The next one is due to enter CSX trackage at 0810 or there about. They do end up at times with one on the north end and one on the south at the same time. Coming south, Amtrak 91 has been known to have one in Florida and one in NC at the same time. Same applies to Amtrak's AutoTrain when they had two #53s on CSX at the same time.
