@IHaveHans thanks! Mom thinks so too 😃. Oh, wait... you meant the snake.

I get it now, three trains back to back to back, no overlap, it does not get any sweeter than that

@IHaveHans 👍😁 Yessir! When we going to picnic in the pass? You could use a good day out watching trains with Dad after working so hard. 😉 Thanks for watching son, it means a ton to me pal. 👊

@CalebA-sv2kw It was too great of a moment not to catch on film. There was something so peaceful about the breeze and hearing that chain slap against the signal ladder and the creaking of the metal doors on the old rusty structures. It was making me feel like all of the history for that location was in fact whispering to me. I love that area so much and it's rich history, I think you get it. Thank you so much Caleb! 😎🤝

@@Fourwheeljive the bees knees! 😆

@Fourwheeljive I saw nothing? 🤷‍♂️🤣🤣 I did want to climb it... bad. But I kept my feet on the ground. Great question, from what I know, I think it is more cost effective and faster to send the trailers by rail. Thank you Robert! 😊

@DomAZ 🤣I like to bring a lil' adventure to the mix. 😎👍 Thank you Dom!

@UncleFjester Heck yes we can!! I will take that request and get'r dun fjor ya Uncle!! Give me a few days to get out there.

@STACKSY 🤣🤣 Last time I was there, I filmed the honey hole, I don't think it had as many bees in it. It is in my very first video on my rail fanning playlist. It's a bit different style of video too. If you check it out, let me know what ya think. Thank you brother, always appreciate your visits my good friend. 😎🤝👊

@@GEVOlutionCPKC thank you! 😁🤝✨️🚂✨️

@SilenceSeven 🤣🤣 Yeah that one was 🔥🔥!

@STACKSY thank you sir! Ugh, yup.. 😖 Is it Friday yet!?? 🤣

@@FJDad777 hah no kidding feel that too

@Thomas1980 thank you Thomas!

@backalleyrailroading2835 Thanks BAR... talk about a rush, this was about 5 minutes before I met that rattlesnake LOL! Thanks for watching my friend, have a great rest of your evening bro. 🤝

@Rustyrailhead I have been seeing it more and more though the pass and even on the UP tracks through Colton. Thanks Rusty, welcome to the channel buddy! 🤝😄

@Fourwheeljive I was wondering the same about the tankers, must be some caustic chems in them. Yeah, the "birds" are from a writer (artist) that goes by the name LAST. He seems to be mad at something. 🤣🤣 Totally agree bro! Fjun is we're you make it! 🎯 and yup, you just confirmed we are like blood bros man. 🤣 If there is water I am gonna see if the Fake Jeep will float. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thank you so much for your support Robert, I appreciate you very much my friend.

@@FJDad777 Happy Labor Day ya working stiff!😂🤣

@@FJDad777 I seldom remember to read the description for videos, but I did this time and it was worth it. Fun and informative!😂🤣😎

@Fourwheeljive 🤣🤣🤣 YES! I was hoping somebody would read and appreciate the description. 💪👍🤣 I try to make them a lil "spicey" with adjectives for the reader every now and then. 🤪🤝

@@FJDad777 😎🤣

@DomAZ thank you sir! Have a great evening Dom. 🤝

@P30CH 🤣🤣🤣 I love it!!! 💪💪 Sounds like a dream come true! That is so awesome. I wanted to be an engineer ever since I can remember, I used to watch the trains every chance I could and when we drove through the Cajon Pass (which was daily at one point as a kid) I would day dream of being the guy in the cab of the loco driving through all of that beautiful countryside. That obviously never did end up being my path, however I never lost my love for the trains. Especially ones in the Cajon Pass. 😆 I still day dream that I am the dude in the cab, and still also of one day building a model train layout. Perhaps one of the Cajon Pass! 😉

@@FJDad777 Same boat different paddle i also dreamed of working the rails loved trains since i was a child, used to sneak out the house and walk 3/4 mile down my street which ended at the, what was then the Santa Fe mainline into the San Bernardino rail yard that runs along the 215. Now and then a train would be tied down and i would just go and touch a box car and i was thrilled. Later on when i got a bike i would ride down to the old train station and sit there in the back where the metrolink now runs through and just watch trains for hours. Then when they first opened up Silverwood lake i remember seeing them run along side 138 when i would go with my dad fishing. I did have a model train layout on a 1/2" 4'x8" plywood board. I had a DDA40X and Burlington Northern SD-9 and a Santa FE (blue) GP-35 (was a EMD man even before i knew it hahaha) about 30 cars to go along with it. So i was running manifest back in the day. Wonderful catch Mike thanks as always for keeping me young . Be careful out there brother.

@@FJDad777 Oh man, me too. After railfanning for awhile I would have loved being an engineer. Unfortunately I'm colorblind. So instead of running trains, I ran train stations. I worked for years as the ticketing manager for LA Union Station and San Diego Station and all the stations in between Santa Barbara-San Diego. But I did get a chance to be engineer one time. It was on Amtrak's Desert Wind. The train ran SLC thru Vegas to LA. I got on in Vegas. The conductor was a good friend of mine. And during our stop at Barstow, he asked if I wanted to ride the cab. Didn't need to ask me twice. I climbed up, met both the engineer and assistant engineer. Just before we highballed BAR, the engineer said here have a seat, the engineers seat. I told him thanks but I'm colorblind. He said no problem, just call out the signal and we'll confirm it. We took off, running at 80 MPH. Semi-smooth stop at Victorville, didn't knock any passengers down LOL. Did a running air-test at Summit and ran down Cajon on dynamic and train brakes. I got off at San Bernardino. And amazingly I called out the signals correctly. I thought I died and went to heaven. 🪽🚂

@CalebA-sv2kw such an awesome story Caleb! Thank you for chiming in on this fun thread. I enjoyed reading your train story 😁 I did have an HO layout on a 4x4 sheet of plywood too as a kid. I would lay there for hours and watch the trains go round and round. Great stuff.... the good ol' days.

@@P30CH THAT IS SO AWESOME!!! 😃 That would be so rad 🤯! I bet you had a smile on your face the entire time you were at the controls. I still have yet to ride a real train. (The train around Disney Land does not count) I would love to take a trip somewhere on the Amtrak.

@P30CH now I am starting to think it was planted there! 🦌 🤔🤣and back to serious... I am trying to put myself in the shoes of a crew in that situation, 3 days would not be enough . That would be very hard to deal with. Thank you for that info Eugene, I pray that your trips were all uneventful in such ways.

@@FJDad777 Engineer friends of mine told me that every run there would be near misses. It's a call the engineer has to make, whether they will get out of the way or not. If they "plug" the train (emergency application of all train brakes) there is a big risk of train truck damage with flat wheels, blown cylinders etc... plus the time to recharge the train with air 15-30 min. I was riding the cab of a northbound San Diego-LA train doing 80 MPH thru Carlsbad. Over the rise there was a bicyclist with his bike on his shoulder walking the rails same direction as the train. Engineer just laid on that horn. Kid must have earphones on because he would not get out of the way. Engineer plugged the train. The last second the kid looks back dives off. The tracks are on a rise there so the kid took a mean tumble with his bike. Finally got the train stopped and the conductor took a walk to find the kid. EMS was called. Not sure how bad he was hurt. 🚴🏼🚂

@P30CH Wow! I did not realize near misses would be that frequent. It's probably because sadly, most lack enough common sense to stay at a safe distance. I would say that if that kid survived, even if he was injured, he was damn lucky. Thank you so much for sharing some of your amazing stories from the rails with me today brother. It means a ton to me. I love to sit and listen/read this kind of stuff, I could listen for hours. I appreciate you my friend.

@P30CH Buddy was lining them up for Keith up in the pass that day. He is Keith's Boss! 😁 My boss is Brütus, he is learning how to be awesome like Buddy with lining them up for me, but not quite there yet. Hence the bottleneck situation☺️ Although, I cannot confirm or deny that Brütus may have given me the correct info, and I just jumbled it all up. 🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍

@P30CH I think the X-over at Silverwood went in about 15 years ago or so if I remember right. It is an excellent spot for fanning all the goodies that come through the pass. 😎 Thank you my friend!

@P30CH thank you! I hope your day is great my friend!

Thank you Thomas! 👍😎

@@bigbossrailfanner thanks Big Boss! 😁

@GEVOlutionCPKC 🫵 #1!! Thank you compa! 😊 🙏🙏🌮🌮🍻🍻🔥🔥

@timeforbeans right on! Thanks Beansie, yeah Bambi was a lil slow unfortunately. 😕

@P30CH I am so glad that you enjoyed this one. It was fun to film and put together. ☺️ I have a few that I have done that are special to me, this is one of them. I appreciate you taking the time to watch it in it's entirety Eugene. Thank you so much for your support! 😁🤝

@graffitifreighttrains1076 🫣Pretty gnarly! 🦌 = Squishy Vs. 🚂 = Very Un-Squishy never ends well for Squishy. 🤣Thanks for watching brother!

@jroseAsmrMukbang right on thank you! Welcome to the channel 😁

@backalleyrailroading2835 I cannot stop it, I can only hope to contain it bro! 💪😎 So far Fake Jeep has gone anywhere I have pointed it! One day when I go out wheeling on a decent trail I will get some footage.

@backalleyrailroading2835 thank you brother! 👊

@CalebA-sv2kw a great assessment of what more than likely occurred. Total bummer for the deer, I am sure that the train crew was pretty bummed out too I'd bet. I never even considered the fact that maybe it could have been dumped on the tracks! That's totally plausible. 🤔 Thank you Caleb!

@STACKSY yup circle of life. Trains get hungry too. Definitely one of the shorter trains to come through. Even more rare that it was a BNSF manifest. The manifest trains that usually come through are UP. BNSF moves a ton of stackers through here.

I had fun making this one. Thank you compa! 🍻

@backalleyrailroading2835 Yeah! 💪 That's what I am talking about! Thanks brother.

@STACKSY I have a radio but don't seem to ever be able to find the frequency that they are chatting on. Not sure why? Thanks Brother! 👊💪🍻 on the march for 1000, if I get there, I will start the model train layout. 😜

@@FJDad777 Maybe a local from the area can help you with frequency's to be listening too have you ever tried radio reference to see what channels they use in your area.? We tune into RTC MOW and end to end that seems to be the best for the area here.. 1000 is coming brother it's not if, it's when! 🍻 Looking forward to this layout build

@STACKSY thanks for the info and the support brother! The layout will be glorious!! 🤩🤣

@@FJDad777 oh it will be!🍻

@glennfoster2423 of course, thanks Glenn. 😊 I hope you are well sir, I appreciate your visit.

@Thomas1980 Hi Thomas thanks my friend!

Thanks brother! It's sad that all of our spots are turning into dumping grounds for people too lazy to find a trashcan.

@Fourwheeljive Right! 🤣 I love your idea of glow in the dark paint for night time fun.

@@FJDad777 if I tried graffiti, I would probably get arrested, mugged or ran over.🙄😂
