fillmore & western railroad buying a caboose

[@harrisongerdes7078]

wow! at first i thought you bought the one with the cupola on it. but this caboose is cool too!

[@harrisongerdes7078]

so lucky to have a caboose of your own! I want one too!

[@briansmith-l1q]

loved every second of this

[@starguard4122]

Great way to give back to the community. Thank you Sir!

[@SMVvids]

That's so cool that you bought a Caboose. I live up in SM with the SMV, and two or three of their cabooses are surviving, but none are for sale unfortunately. I'll take one of those 70-tonners, though.

[@asher6657]

i used to wonder who activates the switches on spur lines....

[@bts845]

What a great thing you did. I hope I can make an impact like you someday. Thank you on behalf of rail fans everywhere. I'd love to buy you a beer.

[@trailladymtb7700]

Cool video. Have Loved trains and Cabooses all my life. You must live in the high desert (Antelope Valley) because the wind never stops blowing.

[@blownrice]

I live in the old Santa fe train depot here in Johannesburg CA :)

[@mikemac2888]

Neat video. Not often you see a crummy going down the highway!

[@joshuabarnett6916]

That's a great hobby to get into ,it will be nice when the caboose is restored to be turned into a museum. I have always wanted to do something like that so maby I will be able to do that type of thing in the future.

[@blownrice]

the exterior of the caboose is all done still working on the inside. I got side tracked working on my new toy a 1959 rogers 10 ton diesel locomotive

[@blownrice]

the country transit authority wanted to end their lease of the right of way early and give them the boot . they won in court. the Fillmore and western will now operate until their lease is up which is around 2020 I believe

[@raritanriverrailroadfan4418]

That's great!

[@cartooncat9115]

Emerio Manzano welp it's 2020 now

[@alcopower5710]

[@Bravo3d]

That is cool. I grew up in Fillmore watching this train pass by every weekend. Where is it now I would love to visit it. Also how much does this caboose weight.

[@railroad9000]

I love the sound of the barely above idling diesel!

[@kevinrichards3288]

He bought a great piece of railroad history.

[@MichaelMiller-od6pu]

Fine Excursion. Why no interior shots ? Thank you.

[@JawTooth]

Interesting video!

[@Gabrocol]

1:06:30 when u get passed by a caboose on a truck

[@oreally8605]

Those Gandy dancers making sure it'll fit

[@williamshaver5704]

For those of you who complain about the shaking of the camera, try mounting a camera on the front of a real train and see how shaky it really is.

[@providenciayounestanmuybel2807]

Op ifif they sell the were I can buy one of those is great this

[@bnsf4884]

Good thing this caboose went to a good home!

[@blownrice]

Thanks it is well taken care of!

[@annawhiteley3128]

owning a train is NOT ridiculous---it's VERY COOL!! :D

[@blownrice]

Anna Whiteley thank u :)

[@rockyracoon3233]

@Anna Whiteley. Right on Sister!

[@Garylee17]

Nice video... what do you do with the Caboose???

[@rateyesmertz3785]

6SL how old is that ??

[@BattleshipOrion]

Update on the caboose this year

[@tomickert8453]

I really want to buy a caboose and have the money to but i live in germany and really dont know if it would be possible to have it beeing shipped over, any ideas?

[@danstrainsfl]

what type of trailer was used to get the caboose on the trailer. Was the attachment standard with this trailer.

[@blownrice]

+Judy Olson a low boy with rails mounted to it

[@bobcope5069]

Hi, Would you have the name of the mover? I have several I need to move. Thanks Bob

[@thomasclelland3716]

Is the train coming to piru again.

[@brok3nD1am0nd45]

how much did you pay to purchase a caboose?

[@santapaulateen3501]

I will miss this caboose but at least it went to a good home

[@blownrice]

WOW how did you know about the caboose? and I am taking very good care of it :)

[@santapaulateen3501]

i live near the Santa Paula station and always see the train, sometime i would go to the lose caboose and see the different cabooses, but now Fillmore and Western has to sell some of their rolling stock and the even sold one of their steam train, which made me sad to find that out.

[@blownrice]

Yeah its sad but times are hard at least they are still running the trains. take care!

[@michaeldougfir9807]

+santapaulateen3501 // We used to live in Camarillo and I sometimes worked in the Filmore - Santa Paula area. Always a pleasure to go there. Anyway I thought the F&W was getting equipment together for tourist and dinner steam trains. Have I got that right? (I've been gone from Ventura County for some time now.) It's another subject, but I was there right after the Northridge quake and remember landslides and other quake damage, even on the back road to Moorpark.

[@MK06563]

Price on caboose

[@STN10]

Do they have that bended hand railing for stepping on while (slowly) driving? If not what are they for?

[@mercury7590]

Good luck, man! I know it's in good hands. Do you know why this transit authority is trying to shut the F&W down?

[@XxXGhostXxX417]

The ATSF Depot at Johansburg? or somewhere else?

[@blownrice]

+UG-RailTrance it is in Johannesburg ca next to hwy 395

[@abandonedrailwayscanada3271]

Cool Video

[@tomz1daful]

Sped up to 1.75X nice ride.

[@buck9739]

I want one

[@blownrice]

very welcome !

[@johnperrotto64]

Got totally nauseous from the jumpy camera work. Had to bail after a few minutes.

[@railroad9000]

+John Perrotto Considering it was a handheld camera on a pitching deck, it is not bad all.

[@MrSvenovitch]

considering how cheap tripods are comparing to cabooses.... ;-)

[@williamshaver5704]

You should just be thankful that the gentleman was kind enough to share his experiences with us.

[@mikemac2888]

Ya baby.

[@joshuatoro8977]

Are you going to repaint the caboose back to its original ?road name

[@stewartgeorge1987]

Where was that at

[@williamshaver5704]

If the the video is about an hour and a half long and some things were cut out of it just how long of a trip was it really?

[@MrBNARick]

I bet this would be an amazing video of you would widen the shot and SSSSLLLLLLOOOOOWWWW the motion of the camera. The tight shot and the constant fast movements got me about 62 seconds into before I had to leave. Shame.

[@MartinSBrown-tp9ji]

Me to. after a few minutes had to stop watching. Made me dizzy. ( It takes 10 seconds for the brain to absorb a picture)

[@jerryhubbard4461]

When filming a video, please Don't put the camera on your face.

[@malcolmmarzo2461]

Please get a gimbal stabilizer. Or at least slow down the pan shots.

[@cobrellie]

Terrible video ... the camera work was beyond appalling ... nauseating to watch ... this had such great potential ...

[@michaelfield447]

Would have been a great video but I had to stop watching. I wish people would learn how to hold a camera, phone steady while shooting videos. It just dances around too much.

[@rhett4027]

Its a mistake not to have a wind sock on your microphone.

[@blownrice]

Everett Padgett sorry my video was not up to your standards

[@blownrice]

Everett Padgett the point was to show how a caboose gets delivered

[@2quintly]

Video filming skills - ZERO.

[@Cockroach2008]

The transit authority has the right idea! Shut them down. Trucks are far more flexible a delivery system! Good bye old junk!

[@Cockroach2008]

+Union Pacific Fan What you may think of me is none of my concern or interest. The railroad remains an important piece of our complete transportation system. The future is in trucks which don't require such an expensive infrastructure financial outlay. Trucks make better economic sense in so many more cases than the cost of a railroad! Railroads do well for the long haul, but for the short haul, the truck has got the railroad beat, hands down. Ships even do better! The transit authority has it correct for this little puny tiny tot railroad! Shut it down forever, pull out the tracks, sell of the right of way! Good by railroad forever!

[@UnionPacificFan]

This is a tourist RR u idiot! It is made to heal people for nostalgia.

[@Cockroach2008]

+Union Pacific Fan That doesn't matter to me! If it is not making it's not financially solvent & is in a state of economic failure! Time to get rid of it & repurpose the land it occupies. See, I am not an idiot! I am COCKROACH! Much more power to the Ventura County Transit Authority! Shut this relic down & tear it apart!

[@Cockroach2008]

+Wheelz “four-dimensional” Pitch A single move of that little amount material, I know the industry would use trucks. However, more to your point, if this were a continuous movement of that amount of that volume of that type of material, I would use a railroad. Now, I have pandered to what you want to hear, but now the locomotion involved would certainly not be steam locomotives! That type of equipment is long past it's prime & is now junk! It is time to dispose of every one of them! And what better way than to have the financially desperate people take them apart in any method possible & sell those parts on the black market for lucrative sums of CASH! So trucks is what the industry would use for a one time movement. Even for as many as 30~35 movements Any more than that, a railroad should be probably be considered. But the steam locomotive will never be used! All the steam locomotives should be junked, cut apart & melted down! The materials used for new products.

[@Cockroach2008]

+Wheelz “four-dimensional” Pitch No complaints from me. Just a matter of making my own comment! A quite good & admirable comment too, I would say! Many people seem to like it!

[@johneastman1905]

Just 24 seconds in and apparently your hand shakes so much the camera work sucks !

[@blownrice]

Sorry it was not up to your standards Steven Spielberg ha!

[@TheMalba06]

Hold steady. My god! You're hyper ventilating
