CUP's BUFFALO BIRTHDAY BASH - CUP's Vlogs

Welcome to another installment of CUP’s Vlogs, where we travel places and see trains, scenery, and the sights of the world around us. In this installment, we look at my shenanigans that happened on my Birthday, which takes us to the land of Buffalo! Within these 2.5 days, we’ll eat, see trains old and new, and a bit more in this short vlog. Hope y’all enjoy!!
All photos are taken by me with some exceptions. Music is not by me, as they belong to there respective owners.

Am so glad that a big youtuber came to buffalo, i recommended to go to derby, its the hot spot if u want to see Cleveland to Buffalo or Chicago to NYC, maybe this December?

[@LeahK2018]

Between CSX AND NS these crossings once seen up to 50 to 60 trains a day. Nowadays, 30 to 35 trains if your lucky. With the railroads doubling to almost triple train lengths the trains counts through Buffalo got fewer and fewer throughout the years.

[@NS1067Productions]

If you ever go to Buffalo again, you absolutely need to visit the town of Angola, NY. And go to the outskirts of Angola to Sturgeon Point Road, and Burns Road. I go there every summer. Trains go by there on average of like 30-45 minutes.

[@time2fly2124]

just saying there are so many amazing restaurants you could go to in buffalo instead of red lobster. the "lets go buffalo" salute at the Broadway, depew (pronounced "duh-pew") stop was a neat touch though.

Nice video and happy birthday! I am from Rochester which is not that far away, and I have railfanned in Buffalo a few times. It is definitely a good city for it. Bayview Rd is my usual spot I head to as well. Also being from here, I do have the symbols to most of the trains in this video, so if you need them I will just put them here (a couple I did not know) Also, the BPRR SW1001 there at 5:45 is owned by the original Genesee & Wyoming (GNWR), which is no longer around but it was based up here in Western New York. That unit is now the last GNWR unit active after the two SW1001s at the Mt Morris NY salt mine on the Rochester & Southern were recently retired. The second day of the video, I was also out railfanning in Rochester so I saw some of the same trains too. That "YN4" scheme on CSX 435 is known as YN3C, it is the scheme with the website below the logo. 2:43 - CSX M367 (the trailing unit was 7045) 3:08 - CSX M364 7:10 - CSX M560 9:34 - CSX M367 (I saw this one in Rochester) 9:57 - NS 309 10:17 - CSX M560 11:10 - CSX I169 11:27 - Amtrak P063 12:08 - CSX M218 12:42 - CSX I003 13:33 - CSX M364

As A Rochester Native, 1. Thanks for showing the CN unit, I will try to get it next time I head there. 2. I’m surprised you weren’t all over LV 252 (SW8) as it’s one of LV “Pups” without dynamic brakes.

Happy birthday!

[@atrain0105]

Those NS Dash 9s and CSX AC44s most likely went to Erie, Pa for rebuild

[@BNSFrailfan01]

Happy birthday Halton, best wishes. Keep up the good work

[@NASCOrailfan]

[@darkchaotix1productions326]

Happy day of birth! Theres no better way to celebrate such a day than with a bit of railfanning! 1:21 *CAN I HAVE YOUR ALCOS*

[@randombread7535]

oh cool never knew you went to Buffalo next time you come if you do, I'd recommend you go to Ted's restaurant its so good. thanks for telling me about 5361 never knew she was here definitely will check her out. if you do come back, there are a few cabooses two diesels in a boxcar down at oliver st with the diesels, I believe, being a Plymouth and a GE so nothing that special but they're there

[@RDC2003]

CUP, on CSX theres 3 schemes that aren’t yn2. They are: Yn3 (CSX only on long hood) YN3b (boxcar) YN3c (just the letters csx on long hood and nose)

[@rottenroads1982]

Imagine a Cowl Unit Version of the SD70M, SD70I, SD70MAC, and SD70ACe’e. Cowl Unit locomotives look good with both passenger and freight trains. Also, the companies should be told that PSR may save money in the short run, but in the long run, it will lead to more disasters and deaths on the railroad.

[@rambling_railfan]

1:33 Please tell me that locomotive is preserved. Happy Birthday!

[@harrisonofcolorado8886]

Happy birthday Halton!

[@SoFlproductions-s4v]

Happy birthday to you

[@sarahendrix6842]

Hey Cowl unit productions I wanna just ask if you are doing anymore obscure steam locomotives and if so a first I would do would be the Chicago & northwestern 4-8-4 Class H steam locomotives and what makes them obscure is the fact that they have a lot of pictures but I cant find that much info on them or colored photos because it seems the only photos of them are in black and white

[@ErieCSXguy]

I saw 7:24 at Erie!

[@jordandorsett3106]

Cowl you are my Canadian Brother (Aquarius Brothers)

[@JackCarsonsRailroadVideos]

also boxcar logo is called YN3B and website logo is YN3C ... Yeah it's dumb

[@jjrailfan2024]

Happy birthday buddy and at 2:50 it's 7048 i think

Happy late bday!

Depew is pronounced Duh-pew. Also, next time you're downtown, I would check out Exchange Street station, and the old Central Terminal. Two beautiful railroad places. Also, if you're a fan of bikes and cars, I'd recommend the Pierce Arrow museum.

Happy belated birthday CUP. Hope the Queen City treated you right. Next time you stop for a visit, try Pearl Street bar and Grill, and Doc Sullivans

[@scottudave4499]

Happy belated birthday. I have to say, you smooched the pooch going to all those chain restaurants here in the b-Lo. Next time you plan on coming, let us know we will point out where to go, I’m sure I, or someone else will even take you the best places.
