A busy day on the CSX Shortline and the NS Rathole Part 2

[@AlexDasi-Sutton]

Thank you. A great collection of long trains. Can't beat the location of the Gaines House to watch trains. Certainly looks good with Christmas lights. Night video very atmospheric. Thanks for sticking it out for that one.

[@1960gambit]

Thanks Alex! Im glad you liked it! Have a great day!

[@AlexDasi-Sutton]

Thank you​@@1960gambit

[@bhuff123]

Well, I have another good video to watch tomorrow morning and I have my 1st cup of coffee. Good night to you

[@1960gambit]

Thanks so much! Have a great day! 😁

[@garymiller5937]

What a spectacular video, Scott!! You caught many amazin̈g trains. You possibly outdid yourself on this one. Bless you, my friend!! 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@1960gambit]

Thanks, Gary! I appreciate that. I had a good day catching the trains.

[@garymiller5937]

@1960gambit You're very welcome, Scott! It sounded like a long day, but I thought you fimed fantastic trains! 😃😃

[@matthewrinehart9514]

Good one. Enjoyed it. 😊❤

[@1960gambit]

Thanks Matthew!

[@garymiller5937]

What a fabulous train to open a video with! A beautiful heritage unit leading, and then a load of plate steel, plus beautiful untagged GATX and UP (?) box cars! I hit the jackpot on this car! 😃😃😃😃❤❤❤❤

[@poowg2657]

"Hey CSX, THATs what a heritage unit should really look like!" A couple of years ago I slipped on some ice at work and it was picked up on several video cameras. With my permission they made a safety video on how to fall the correct way. Protect your head by tucking in your chin and then tuck and roll. Liked the Gaines' House action a lot, thanks Scott! P.S., thanks for the night train fix.

[@1960gambit]

I’m glad you liked the video, and I hope you didn’t get hurt too bad! I knew the night trains would be something you liked! Thanks P!

[@GY51360]

Good video Scott and you were right the Reading was looking clean

[@1960gambit]

Timmy said they just repainted it. It sure looks good!

[@Carolb66]

Awesome part 2 Scott. Loved the green & gold Reading heritage unit. Beautiful loco. Then listen to the CP dpu roaring along! Walton is just great isn't it? The Gaines house is looking stunning for Christmas keep looking up at the window Scott 👀👻very spooky night train very dark! Fab CSX night train with more lights from the crossing to end with. BTW the drone sightings are making the news over here this is weird isn't it? All kinds of theories being talked about! I've been hooked on all the sightings Scott. Well see you on the next one it's a busy week for everyone shopping & wrapping. Ugh 😅❤👍

[@daledrawbond1222]

As promised, a great catch of a clean Heritage unit! That Canadian Pacific DPU locomotive was sure working hard and a SOO Line car in the mix as well! Hey, them night trains were awesome!

[@1960gambit]

Thanks Dale! We ended up having a great day there for sure. Hope you have a great week!

[@louGriggs1944]

Famous last words, "I'm leaving after this one". LOL. Super cool Scott. You are really catching a lot of great locos lately, not to mention some great trains. I counted 229 cars on that train with the Reading heritage and 186 on the last one. Really like night scenes too. Thanks.

[@1960gambit]

Thanks Lou! Yes I get lucky once in a while. They got a heritage on the I&O now. I need to get it! Hope you have a great day!

[@garymiller5937]

The night train was cool 😎, Scott! Thank you. 😃😃😃❤❤❤

[@1960gambit]

I'm glad you liked it! I think the night shots really make the trains look better! 😁

[@garymiller5937]

@1960gambit I agree, as long as it's not too dark. 😃

[@garymiller5937]

Another excellent mixed manifest with lots of coil steel! No wonder you felt compepelled to stop! Who can resist coil steel?! 😃😃😃😃❤❤❤❤

[@1960gambit]

Thanks Gary! Have a great week ahead!

[@timmyfrierson2684]

Hey Scott, the Reading heritage unit just came out of the paint shop. That’s why it looked new. I just thought you might wanna know that but anyway my friend another awesome video and as always you stay safe out there and watch your back and we’ll see you on the next one.

[@1960gambit]

Thanks Timmy! I was wondering about that because we saw it in Kenova about a month ago and it was really clean there too. The times before that when I caught it, it looked dirty and terrible. It really looks good now. Hopefully they keep it clean!

[@garymiller5937]

We had a slow CSX mixed manifest folowed by a very long, 226 cars by my count, NS mixed manifest with a mid-train DPU! What a fabulous catch, my friend. 😃😃😃😃😃❤❤❤❤❤

[@1960gambit]

Thanks Gary! We had a good day for train watching, I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

[@garymiller5937]

@1960gambit You're welcome, Scott. 😃

[@Bill-Morr55]

Good Monday morning buddy, I hope you had a good weekend and that you’re day is off to a good start. Be safe out there this week and God bless.

[@1960gambit]

Thanks for the kind words Bill! I hope your week is off to a good start as well. 😁

[@Bill-Morr55]

@ Scott I consider you Brian, Greg and Joe friends. The Bible says pray for your friend. I may never see you and the others face to face, but through your videos I can speak to y’all every morning. Take care and have a good week 🙏🙏

[@1960gambit]

@@Bill-Morr55 Thanks Bill, I appreciate that! I'm getting rained on right now in Glendale! 😒

[@Hyrev1]

Super catches Scott!..and awesome of you catching some night runners! Terrific video! 🚂🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃💯👍🇺🇸

[@1960gambit]

Thanks Jim! Yes, they just kept coming after I said I was leaving. I got no control over it, but I like it when it happens! Have a great day!

[@marcuskirby8662]

Great videos, the night shots give trains a different look. Gate runners are foolish. They’re like people BASE jump. They know eventually the odds will git’em.

[@1960gambit]

Thanks! The night shots really do bring a different look to the trains. I'm glad you liked it! 😁

[@garymiller5937]

They were running the signals and gate to get to the free beer!!! 🤣😂🤣

[@1960gambit]

That`s a possibility! Lol

[@garymiller5937]

@1960gambit Could be! 😅

[@GlendaleRailfanFrenchToast419]

Have a good Christmas brother

[@1960gambit]

Merry Christmas to you too, Stevie!

[@margiecooper6045]

I read the comments so I knew you were staying. I love the night trains. Thank you for staying Scott. All this video was very nice. Gains house is a good spot. Stay safe. ❤

[@1960gambit]

Thanks Margie! Yes, sometimes the trains just keep coming after you say you`re going to go and I just keep filming them. It`s not planned that way, trust me! Have a great week!

[@keithmoore5306]

well Scott, you don't move like you used to, you know what the old cop told the young punk he was busting do't ya, go ahead and run i'm not chasing you that's what the gun and bullets are for!! at least the Gaines house didn't go full trash and over do it! trust me i've see some of those tourist type spots go full trailer park on decorating!!! both lines had double pull single crew jobs this time!!and i swear i saw a new covered hopper on the last one a short 2 chute size but with 3 chutes

[@1960gambit]

@@keithmoore5306 I hear you on the running stuff. I got arthritis in my left knee and it gives me fits at times. They keep the decorations simple on the Gaines House. The truth is from what I've been told by knowledgeable people is that the city would love nothing more than to see it fall down. It's a shame too because there is a ton of history there and there have been several ghost hunting videos made there too. There are 5 confirmed ghosts in that house and they have been seen by several people, including a couple of folks I know very well. They only open the place up a few times a year to the public.

[@GlendaleRailfanFrenchToast419]

Im going be in Glendale The Sunday af Christmas

[@RICKCOPE-q9d]

Amazing video..Nice catch Ans seeing the signal drop

[@1960gambit]

I thought so too! It was a neat shot, wasn't it?

[@roelofvenema6500]

Good made video, mr 1960gambit. You go now really to home, i hear a several times but when you see the signal that a train is coming you stay again. And your lovely lady.....alone at home?? Thx for this topvideo against the Gains house🚆🚆🚆👌💪💪👍👍👌🚆🚆🚆. Have a nice monday. Greet from Zandvoort the Netherlands.

[@1960gambit]

Thanks Roelof! Yes, sometimes I'm ready to leave and another train comes, so I'll stay and get it. It's funny that it happens that way but I got no control over the trains! 😅
