This was wild to see Elkhart back in the day the way the old layout compares to now I love watching trains at Elkhart on VRF cams

Cool train video.

I used to watch trains when I was I youngster at the west end of the yards. More back in the 70's and 80's though. West end of yard had changed since then. Nice video Steve.

I liked the old layout better. At least it made sense.

Back before cameras and crews gave rides. Those weren’t RR employees getting off that UP motor.

Yep, in 1977 I got a ride on one of the Pulldown jobs. I think they had a cabless GP-9 and an SW for power.

I like rail fanning at the Amtrak station. However, the camera view starting at 21:21 is neat. Does anyone know where this is taken? Can you still get to that spot today to rail fan?

[@ohboy2592]

Actually this is the west end of the yard by Cp 436. They are filming on railroad property I believe. The line closest to the camera is the inbound track from the main going into the yard.

Cool train video.
