Some nice variety even with only CSX and NS providing the trains. The story about Brownie is what helps to make the hobby even .more interesting. Every now and then I'll be looking at maps and especially ones from the 30s thru the 60s where towns(even midsize) where tracks radiated 6 to 10 directions. Truly a hub in its day but now often down to 2 or 3. A tip of the hat to the participants and organizers of the Spartenburg group. Good constructive interests are shared and that goes beyond just the hobby. Good work as always.

Danny - Really loved the part with the Hub City Railfans. My son is autistic, & I have had him out railfanning since he was really young. He first enjoyed the Conrail that ran at the back of his grandparent's property, & now enjoys both the Clinchfield (CSX) and Norfolk Southern. It was a proud Dad moment when he first pronounced "Norfolk Southern" since he does not speak that well. He has loved the Clinchfield since the mid-2000's when we railfanned the south end from Erwin to Spartanburg. For those of you that may have autistic children (or know of someone who does) railfanning is a great little hobby! Thanks again Danny for all your hard work & great videos.

@@Tracksidebench Hello! I lived in Lafayette for about 7 years. The main Lafayette yard i'm not familiar with and not sure if there are any sights for that. However, the line running south out of town has many spots to see the trains creeping in/out of town. The main one that comes to mind with some open space to set up on is E Pinhook. Look up a store called Bargain Furniture. That crossing has space on both sides. Just south (like one block) is Spring St and Dorset Ave. From there, you can parallel the line on Highway 90 South past the air port and into Broussard, LA. South of Broussard, Hwy 90 takes a sharper turn south and the line then parallels Old Spanish Trail (LA 182 I think) All along this route are plenty of spaces to post up and get some good views. The line that leaves the Laffy yard and heads East crosses some sketchy areas of town and I dont recommend you go there. The line that runs West out of town and parallels Hwy 90 has endless places to post up and watch freight head in/out of Lafayette. If you're lucky, you just might catch an Amtrack. About 40m north of Lafayette is another busy line that parallels Hwy 190. I live next to this line in Eunice. Its busy. Trains all the time.

As a veteran Union Pacific railroader it warms my heart to see these folks get kids interested in railroading . If only the kids could get to ride in the headend locomotive for something like 50 miles or so they would have an experience tens of millions of people could only wish to be able to do . It gives a person the knowledge of what Engineers and Conductors experience every time they climb in the cab and what happens at rail crossings hoping and praying some idiot doesn't go around the gates or try to beat their train especially when there are multiple tracks . I've seen it happen and it's not pretty when their decision was dead wrong . Thanks for an Awesome video Danny .

Danny, I am a human resources practitioner who also practices in the diversity, equity, and inclusion space. And to see the level of diverse people with a common goal makes what I do worth it. Thank you. For me, this has been the best video presentation.

Yes, it's really amazing to see that people somehow find their own diversity and inclusion when joining in a common interest. No diversity training needed.

We had two children who loved trains. Thank you for sharing this, we used to chase trains down the tracks on the road to get to the next crossing where our kids could sit on the roof of the car and watch the trains from Spring City, TN through Chattanooga, TN Down to Rocky Face, GA. We did that many years ago. Our kids are grown now but they still remember! I can't wait to show them this.

In a world of KZbin mediocrity it is a pleasure to see top-shelf videos like these. Being in the audio visual business, I know production savvy when I see it. Quality video capture, drone footage, consistent audio normalization and meaningful composition and editing take effort. I know this from experience. And Mr. Harmon has a face for television and a voice for radio as well. I see a passion for railroading here skillfully married with historical context. I am not a rail fan myself but I always have time for top notch production. Thank you for this enriching video channel. You do us all a public service! And yes, I did subscribe.
