One thing I learned while railfanning is that you have to be flexible. You can’t catch everything, but you can catch anything. I used to be so upset whenever I missed something rare or interesting, but I realized that being upset and thinking it’s the end of the world isn’t the answer. In addition to this, you just have to realize if you miss something rare or interesting, there will always be more chances in the future. Another thing is that you need to stay out of drama. People in this community nowadays think they are perfectionists and know everything and start drama if one person says something wrong. Same goes with posting photos on platforms like Instagram and Facebook. Railfanning is CLEARLY not a hobby to determine who is the better railfan just because they have better gear than you, it’s about enjoying the sights and sounds of the train whether it’s just a boring pair of CSX GEVO’s or an colorful lashup of fallen flag locomotives.
@CoenOinkeyTrains7 ай бұрын
Well said, problem with nowadays is all the rare stuff that I (or most railfans) miss will never come back and I’ll never get another chance to see it. For me it’s more about realizing there will be more chances in the future for other, maybe less rare, stuff and that now that I missed it something there’s nothing else to do, being mad about missing it won’t change the outcome.

As a railroader myself, a couple things I want to mention: 1: Even if you do know someone who works for the railroad, there's an extremely high chance they aren't allowed to share any information about train schedules. It's considered a huge security risk. 2: The line about EMDs becoming rare always makes me giggle. Not because it isn't true, (at least on class Is) but because the railroad I work for literally doesn't have anything other than EMDs in their fleet, so for me, seeing an actual wide-body come into the shop is a fun experience.

An electric locomotive built in 1972 with over 11'000 hp. It is capeable to pull a 750m train on flat and if it needs to go uphill, they most likley put a second Re 6/6 infront so then you have a Re 12/12 with over 22'000 hp

Nice video! I would say from my experience since the actual mainline is 15 miles from my house and I have to use the freeway to get there, I only ever go every now and then when I'm not busy but I would say I see at least 1 train 2/3's of every time I go. Sometimes I'll see 3 or more if I'm lucky. The most I've ever seen was 8 in 4 hours when BNSF was rerouted to use the UP mainline when the bridge collapsed in Montana. From my understanding of train symbols and such there's gotta be at least 25-35 trains that use the UP Huntington Subdivision in a 24 hour period, the majority of which are manifests. However there are times I sit for 2 hours and see nothing, or go home seeing nothing. It's always a hit or miss. You either see 3 trains in 45 minutes, or 0 in 3 hours.

Where do you get ATCS and scanners?
@BNSF14587 ай бұрын
ATCS is a program on the computer. Scanners are a special type of radio capable of hearing railroad and other frequencies you can't tune into on the normal radio
