@Caleb’s PLUSH and ICE CREAM TRUCK videos read the 2nd half of my comment

If you commented on this video specifically because you live in New York then these areas are quite good (if not then see below): ► Near NYC and the Lower Hudson Valley is 'Mine Dock Park' in Fort Montgomery, NY. ► West of Albany is Voorheesville, NY that has the 'Albany County Rail Trail Pavilion.' ► Fairport, NY east of Rochester has the 'Fairport Junction Train Viewing Platform.' ► On the western side of the state in Westfield, NY is the 'Westfield Railfan Park.' ► 30 mins south of Westfield, NY in Pennsylvania is North East that has the 'Lake Shore Railway Museum.' In the eastern half of the country the absolute best places for sheer amount of trains are around Chicago, in Ohio, and one in Pennsylvania: ► Chicagoland Area ► Rochelle, Illinois ► Galesburg, Illinois ► Berea, Ohio ► Fostoria, Ohio ► Deshler, Ohio ► Marion, Ohio ► Altoona, Pennsylvania In the middle of the country is: ► North Platte, Nebraska ► Kansas City, Missouri / Kansas I haven't been on the west coast or southern states for train watching so I can't give you any specific locations.

@@Espee9180 thank you

Thanks. As nice as the new platform and track is, I wish they kept things as seen in this video. Lot more interesting 🙂

Walk between the river and hillside and there's a steep trail up the rock outcroppings

@@Espee9180 wow

That's great to hear! Glad you had a good time.

I've only been here at night until Amtrak 30 the Capitol Limited makes its stop at 9:30pm, but I'm pretty sure the lights are on all night. What I do is park on the west end of the station building and walk across the dirt / ballast to the platforms when I hear something on the scanner. The Amtrak ticket office / waiting room opens a half-hour before 30 is scheduled to arrive, so you can hang out in there as well. It's gotten better safety wise in my opinion over the last few years as the downtown area has had a revival of sorts. Plus the Virtual Railfan camera that's there is always watching the scene.

@@Espee9180 Thank you very much for your expertise and advice. (Did not know about #30). Night filming has its challenges so few do it, but those bright lights will help. I'll let you know how I make out.

Unfortunately the Dash 7s are long gone. Both retired and scrapped in 2013.

Thank you

They seem to be system wide symbols, and by that I mean any grain train could get those symbols no matter where it originates and terminates.

@@Espee9180 I was wondering that, so basically it usually originates at different places? Basically, one day it could originate at Muncie, IN and then two days later it could originate at Mansfield, OH

Agreed

The sound comes from the track being slightly higher / flexing at the crossing and the truck springs compressing. You can also hear it on the train before as well.

Sony FDR-AX33

Thank you for watching 🙂

Thanks!

Espee9180 Your welcome.

It was a one-off thing, so don't expect another one

What Palmer Sub said. It was a one off move to retrieve and relocate empty autoracks. Another one may run loaded or unloaded at some point , but it's not likely as NS embargoed autorack traffic now.

The AX100 is a well liked and reviewed camcorder. It would be a good camera for railfanning in my opinion if you want a 4K camera. I have the AX33 and my friend has the AX53 and likes it if you want to save a few dollars. Can't really go wrong on the Sony FDR line.

Thanks! The steamer is the 844. That's an awesome video you got. I thought about doing a timelapse, but never set it up. Thanks for sharing.
