A Dying Breed: CSX's YN2 EMDs

[@BaltimoreAndOhioRR]

✔✔ Have a great new week!!

[@2025trainfanmanproductions]

YN2’s are my favorite CSX paint job. I use the YN2 locomotives on Trainz 3 sometimes.

[@johnrockstone]

Watched this video twice! Very interesting!👍 I am a favorite of YN2 painted Dash-8's!💚Still see them on Guilford rail lines as MEC's and Pan Am's!🙂

[@floridarailfan]

Glad you enjoyed!

I feel like I’m looking at a bygone era when I see YN2 locomotives

[@floridarailfan]

They are quite nostalgic indeed, one of the reasons I love them so mcuh

[@mustin07doesgaming]

@@floridarailfan there is a dvd I have that I used to watch every day called Real Trains for Kids 2 and it was filmed in the early 2000s so so many of the trains in the video had a Csx locomotive in YN2

Super under-rated channel, let this be proof I was here before you blow up big lol. I hope you had a good trip north earlier this month, I was going to mention to you that the YN2 GP38-2 2756 was in Johnstown but it just got pulled for servicing in Cumberland before you came up; it's in Winchester VA area now. I probably won't get my shots of 2756 up until later this year as I got over 3 hours of footage of it to go through and distill down. However, you did well seeing 6957 and classic shots like those at 7:35 are always welcome, great video!

[@floridarailfan]

Thanks a lot man, always appreciate the kind words! The road trip was awesome, thanks again for the help leading up to it. I had seen posts about 2756 and was going to try and make it if I was in the area, but never got around to it...oh well! And yes, I really do enjoy putting some throwback shots for context, nothing like some nostalgia ;)

Great stuff! Always my favorite of CSX's paint schemes.

[@floridarailfan]

Thank you, I definitely agree

[@BattleshipOrion]

I see 4419 all the time. To correct you on somethin' 4419 a GP40. She's based out of Lima, Ohio as of writing this, and runs the Wapakoneta Local Wednesday's and Saturdays, which means she passes right in front of my home! And still wears the Yn2 paint scheme.

Hey Florida Railfan! Question I know you don’t railfan the FEC as much but I’m going to Deirfeild Beach on Thursday and my grandma needs to know exact times to get out and railfan. What time should I be out in between in Deirfeild and what day? Thanks so much- Triad Railfan Productions

[@floridarailfan]

I don’t know much about Deerfield times, sorry man

[@triadrailfanproductions]

@@floridarailfan No problem 😃

[@milwaukeearearailfan5602]

Very well put together video! Also the spur at 1:45 definitely looks like it would be cool to see switched

[@floridarailfan]

Thank you!

[@haaseshouseoscience6377]

Awesome video! Speaking of YN2 EMD’s, I just 6957 up at Cumberland yesterday. Sadly though, it’s sitting at the deadline.

[@floridarailfan]

Thank you! That is sad to hear, I thought it was still kicking!

[@centraliowarailproductions2810]

Nice video!

[@floridarailfan]

Thanks!

Your welcome @@floridarailfan!

[@Trains-With-Shane]

A YN2 Plus a Spongebob Squarecab rebuild as well. Very cool set!

[@WaffleDragon]

Those YN2 units are special to me too. I am still excited to see a YN2 AC4400.

[@horaciovera7678]

Very good job my good friend please keep as posted more videos

[@floridarailfan]

Thank you thank you

[@TrainsAreReallyCool]

YN2 is the best CSX paint scheme. Nothing will change my mind.

[@triadrailfanproductions]

Danny Harmon and Florida Railfan posts on one day WOW!

Ha!

[@northernohiorailfanningpro8899]

Amazing work as usual dude! Mind if I ask what camera you use to film?

[@floridarailfan]

Thanks a lot! I use the Sony FDR AX-53, the BOSS is sweet when it comes to handheld shots.

[@trainwhispererproductions460]

Your videos are very well done. What type of microphone do you use for voiceovers?

[@floridarailfan]

Thanks a lot! I use a Rode Procaster, works like a charm :)

[@samlatham6015]

Very nice video. Just a quick note, the subdivision is pronounced Parm-a-lee. My dad is from Bethel, just down the road from there. That’s also why the band Parmalee has their name spelled like it is, so it’s pronounced correctly. Really enjoyed the footage!

[@floridarailfan]

I always find something to mispronounce. Thanks a lot!
