Nice grafitti free cars on the Big Boy UP train And a caboose! 😂

Thank you for ending! Man I miss living there! When we lived in Colorado we had the mountains to the south and Buckley Air Base to the North. Sit on back porch, see the mountains and the jets practicing, what a site! And since hubby was in the air National Guard I even got to go on base and meet and shake President Bushes hand, best time ever!!

The Big Boy Alco looks great, nice video!🛤🚂

[@zacharycalgher3978]

9:36-11:13 those bi level coaches are for the Keewatin Railway Company in Manitoba Canada. Keewatin Railway is also getting ex Amtrak P40DCs as well.

Good to see the Passenger Trains at Paradise, Davisville and S. Norwalk Tower. Also, Illinois Terminal and the Yreka Western Boxcar - showing-up again. The LEF&C Boxcar was interesting to see, with its rusty Peak-roof, but especially the Rivetted construction of the Seam at the sides and ends.

[@kevinharris1392]

Had to look at the first clip again. That was engine no.8536,I thought it was 8586. Engine 8586 was the last SD 50 I operated that was still in Chessie colors.

The drawbar between the coaches tells me they are ex-LIRR C1 coaches. There were ten built, five sets of two. I’ve worked on four out of the five sets. Good cars. Nice to see them still rolling.

6:01 Those empty SCWX coal hoppers are likely returning from Santee Cooper's Pennyroyal Generating Station in Georgetown, SC. It's likely I handled some of these same cars when I was a conductor for Carolina Southern in the early 2000's. CALA served the Grainger Steam Generating Station in Conway, SC. until service was embargoed due to multiple bridge deficiencies. Also, due to draconian EPA regulations on coal fired power plants, the Grainger power plant likewise ceased operations. The entire plant was demolished in 2014.

[@HeskovizenakoCheyenne]

I love this video

[@csrrjefflloyd6496]

I wonder if the fawn was able to catch up to its mom at HSC?

[@donnaj9964]

She most likely came back over the fence when it was time to feed the little one and they would have gone somewhere else together. Does are wonderful mothers, but this one didn't quite get the fact that her fawn wasn't quiiite big enough to jump the fence yet. Don't worry baby; that day will come...

[@natethetrainboy9864]

I think those double decker coaches are for the Long Island Railroad.

[@TransferPoint9346]

9:50 Those are former Long Island Rail Road C1 cars.

[@TezcatlipocaMountedRailfan]

Former LIRR coaches, but since when did Keewatin start buying older commuter coaches? They’ve been prosperous enough to buy new stuff for many years now, even under _VIA,_ so I don’t see a need to buy older coaches, update them to Canadian Rail standards, and paint them when they could buy straight from the manufacturer? Surplus is fine and all for a start up(look at Amtrak in the 70’s), but what need is there for a money tree of a commuter rail service to still be buying surplus years later?
