All Star Railfan Outing in Hudson Highlands. CSX, MN, Amtrak, and plenty of fire engines. 6/3/23

[@Fantech0104]

You know it's a passion when railroad employees still go out Railfanning. These guys are all awesome. Looks like you guys had a fun time. Both Mine Dock Park and Manitou and fantastic spots to hangout at around this time of year.

[@winstonpx]

It's so wholesome how the railroad employees are also diehard railfans haha

[@OldsVistaCruiser]

You should see the Reading, Blue Mountain & Northern! Everyone there all the way up to the CEO (Andy Muller) are huge railfans. It's an extremely railfan friendly road.

[@ariesarethebest271]

​@@OldsVistaCruiser Wow. That is interesting.

[@MsNeeci]

Now this video is “priceless”! You, the Flying Yankee, Conductor Paul, the Joker, ( cameo appearance) and a small host of others! I should’ve been there to get autographs! Thanks!! 😊

[@mmanisr22]

To be a fly on the wall to hear Paul's tirade. I got a pic of that train while visiting the Trolley Museum of NY Saturday

[@ariesarethebest271]

At the start, I think I saw the Flying Yankee and you can hear Train Man Paul yapping away in the background. 😂 Cool video, Tim.

[@williamralph5442]

Looks like conductor Paul is looking for hot bearings. Great fan spot.

[@m7express774]

This is so awesome seeing these guys enjoy the thrill of railfanning

[@michaelroke5733]

The Hudson Line videos are great! That was one heck of a combined FD response for sparks and I really enjoyed all the time you spent on that! This revealed how much mutual aid is needed between communities for fire protection these days. Small volunteer towns are short staffed too.

[@SteveRoberts5330]

Tim, this is one of my favorite videos you have posted in some time! It's good to see the other railroad VIPs with you interacting and providing additional commentary. Hopefully you can make this a regular thing!

[@3985uprr]

We usually do this twice a year

[@SteveRoberts5330]

@@3985uprr looking forward to the Fall Edition!

[@charlesbaran1106]

I see CSX trains where I live in Kingston, but it was nice to have them accompanied by you and your friendly colleagues. Thanks!

[@jonathanmoor7035]

awesome video.

[@Railoffroader2]

Railroad RockStars Conductor Paul and my ex co-worker Engineer John! 👍🏼🤘🏼👊🏼 Great video Tim with the backdrop of the scenic Hudson Line.

[@TBF_1J]

Great stuff!! Love that ET44AH at the beginning

[@tokugawa12able]

Great catches, good people. Lots of fun. Thanks. 😊

[@Adamdaj]

Looks like a wonderful day out with buddies. I figured that one railroader with the scanner, would've had a regular 2 way on him.

[@SIMON26ful]

I'm sorry I should have rephrased that question. I did go on a Friday later on and caught "2 1/2" trains. A intermodal a mixed freight and a short local in a 2hr+ timespan. I should have asked if any day along with Friday had about the same frequency or better. Thanks for the quick reply.

[@scottyerkes1867]

Awesome video!! Rail fanning at its best. Thanks Tim😀💚

[@BOZO1959]

Manitou was part of my territory as a signal man out of Poughkeepsie.

[@yeahman70]

14:30 CSX actually has 4 K5LLAs in their fleet. They are on units 595, 2767, 7204 and 7799.

[@CanalConcourse1196]

CSX Moment comes into place 😎

[@steve-o5600]

By "hot" do you mean carloads that are time-sensitive and need to get from point A to B quickly? Sorry...still learning LOL.

[@MatthewSmith-cv7op]

Hotshot = high priority

[@3985uprr]

High priority

[@williamholm8379]

Tim i like the video of you and the flying Yankee and conductor Paul and everyone else had fun at mine dock Park and seeing the joker the Metro North engineer did the conductor Paul called Metro North and another conductor knows downtown if they follow that track and the conductor Paul will called them again

[@RampageRod-kt8mj]

Train Man Paul was in this video

[@bornjamerican52]

You guys are AWESOME 👏🏾👏🏾. Glad to see you guys get together having a great time. That what’s it is about 🔥, that sure was a lot of fire department there lol. I mapped out mine dock park on my bucket list 😊definitely want to go there from bklyn, beautiful scenery. God bless you Tim

[@3985uprr]

Thank you very much

[@ryan_valornagee6984]

Any chance MN will be replacing their shoreline cars in the near future? And Will Amtrak be replacing its rolling stock in the NEC?

[@3985uprr]

Next year or two you should start to see some changes

[@christophercancel934]

There are houses in Manitou? I thought it was all woods.

[@3985uprr]

Along the river there are several

[@BOZO1959]

There is like 7 houses across the tracks on the river side.

[@ajgould6695]

[@jenniferjansen2484]

So, what was the deal with all the fire trucks showing up down there?

[@3985uprr]

Sparks in electrical panel in somebody’s attic

[@DJinNJ08830]

Some of thos fire apparatus were tankers. No fire hydrants they set up pools for the pumpers to draw off of

[@BOZO1959]

They could draw water right out of the Hudson River, it's only about 50 yards from any of the houses.

[@DJinNJ08830]

@Donald Presher yes the tankers could do so but their was quite a lot of tankers

[@SIMON26ful]

What day of the week has the most train traffic through Minedock ? I was there on a Tuesday for about 2hrs and nothing.

[@3985uprr]

Later in the week is best

[@KJW-Transit]

What horn was on the CSX on 2:38

[@3985uprr]

I think a K5HL first generation. It was on the earliest GEVO’s

[@KJW-Transit]

@@3985uprr k I'ma keep that in mind for my game. Cause that horn sounds really good

[@edkammerman2533]

😮😊😲😲

[@davidbrown4823]

So what was the emergency?

[@3985uprr]

A resident in a nearby house saw sparks in an electrical panel in attic.
