[@CoasterFan2105]

Hey everyone, thanks for watching! If you haven’t left me a Q&A question yet and would like to do so, reply to this comment or post another one down below and let me know it’s for the Q&A. Thanks!

[@RegionalRailfanner]

Okay. Thanks Mike!

[@SkillsProductions-rf6nz]

What made you start making train videos?

[@jjt1697]

Thanks

[@coolleo149]

Do you think you will upload a video of the Amtrak Acela? Cause it’s gonna be gone in 2022 sadly, and I never got a chance to see it irl. :(

[@nathancorcoran5347]

@@coolleo149 it is going to be sad for the retirement of the Acela Express.

My grandson is the biggest little fan of your videos. He's 4. These videos are his favorite thing to watch and we're so glad you share your love of trains with us. Thank you!!

[@Aberocks51210]

Q&A: 1. What is your favorite tourist railroad to see trains at? 2. Will you ever consider seeing trains in Kentucky? 3. Will you someday be able to see Nevada Northern 81?

Man 2021 was a good year for Railfanning and now moving on to 2022 Happy New Years

[@CoasterFan2105]

It was a good year! Happy 2022!

[@mvh8995]

Many happy moments with my grandson on my lap watching your videos - we never seem to tire of it! Happy new year!

[@CoasterFan2105]

Happy New Year!

[@Buynot]

For the Q&A: 1. In all your years of railfanning/making videos on KZbin, is there anything you would've done differently? 2. In your opinion, what are the best spots to view trains from in San Diego County? 3. When chasing trains, how do you ensure you aren't accidentally tresspassing on other people's property when seting up at a location? (More specifically, when dealing with private grade crossing signs)

[@RailfanSam]

This is for the Q&A 1: What was your best catch of 2021? 2: When will the ALC-42 go into revenue service? 3: Will you ever do a video for the P40DC like you did for the F40PH? 4: What video ideas do you have for train talk this year? 5: Will the Coaster F40’s ever run again? 6: Can you do a video on the Portland and Western railroad? 7: Can you do a railfan fail video? 8: Are there any lease units from LTEX in the Pacific Northwest? Happy New Years See you down the line

[@valeriebassett3107]

Wow it is amazing how many trains we have watched on your channel last year. You probably will never know how much enjoyment you have brought to people's lives. You have accomplished a lot. God Bless you, keep safe, healthy and we will be waiting for your next great video. Thank you!

[@CoasterFan2105]

Thanks so much, Valerie! Very much appreciate the kind words. Happy 2022!

[@nathancorcoran5347]

Pretty good video, I hope to see more steam locomotives in operation. I would hope to come back to Colorado for the train rides there in summer of 2022. I would also like to see other trains too. Have a good Happy New Years.

[@CoasterFan2105]

Thanks, Nathan! Happy New Year!

[@ryansrailfanning]

Q&A: 1. What is your favorite Durango & Silverton locomotive? (that is if you have seen any yet) 2. Whats your opinion on the Amtrak Cascades service? 3. Have you filmed any trains in Flagstaff, AZ before? If not, even though its a quiet zone, I recommend it.

[@MiddleboroLakevilleRailfan]

2021 was such an awesome year for railfanning! Hears to 2022 and some awesome catches in it as well! Glad you had an amazing year Mike! -AJ

Just wanted to say thank you, my little boy loves your "toot toot" videos as he calls them, and it has saved us from many a melt down. For a giggle, we even bought one of your shirts for his dad for father's Day from him, because clearly trains are the best and what else would you buy your dad if you were 2 🙂 thank you, from all the way in Australia!!

I have a couple questions I’d like to ask for the Q&A if that’s okay: 1: Do you think you’ll get to film Santa Fe 3751 or 2926 when they start running, hopefully this year? 2: Do you miss living in San Diego? What made you move out in the first place and do you feel happier where you live now? 3: Do you think it would be a good idea to create a series based on the Auto Train and Coast Starlight videos based on different Amtrak train services and where they go?

[@adventuresofamtrakcascades301]

Q&A questions: #1 What was your best catch of this year? #2 what are you thoughts about CP and KCS Railroad merger to be named Canadian Pacific Kansas City railroad? #3 how was 2021 for you? #4 How are you doing? & #5 how was your Amtrak 50th anniversary celebration? Mine was awesome! Thanks! Happy new year!

[@BJB3694]
