Man with all this footage you’ve been uploading, you must have a huge collection of tapes. How many do you think you have?
@Railfancoasttocoast8 күн бұрын
I am not sure how many I have. All I know is I have many, many hours invested. Where i live in Michigan, we don't have much rail action, so I would have to drive a half hour to Grand Rapids or 2 hours to Porter Indiana.

I was there back when they still has an operator there. Chessie/NW The operator had a mural of the American Freedom Train on the side of his van. I should have photoed it. (Could have been the Chessie Steam Special) Just a couple years ago, they tore down F tower here. Unable to sell it off. I did photo F tower though.

Always weird to see a CSX ACe, that was a short lived phase. I was almost exclusively railfanning NS lines until about 2018 so I never caught one. They're almost like an urban legend to me 40:48 I caught 9049 a couple years later in Terre Haute... ditch lights were messed up and flashing in sync when I got it. 42:19 Amazing sight, sure do miss seeing those around. 47:30 Great lashup

6:27 That poor P5 is in a world of trouble As always, man does this make me miss the variety in motive power. You never knew when you'd get a classic EMD, widecab EMD, narrow cab GE, etc. Nowadays you get a GEVO or, if you're lucky, an ACe. And that's just on the NS. CSX seems even more limited.
