Great Train Talk video. my favorite freight cars in this video are Autorack cars, Hopper cars,Tank cars and even Flat cars.

[@CoasterFan2105]

Thank you!

[@ryansrailfanningproductions]

I’m honestly on the hopper cars and center beams.

[@AnnoyingBastsardonSteam]

I like Troublesome trucks

[@jeanetteferretti4188]

Nice I like the intro too

[@adventuresofamtrakcascades301]

@@ryansrailfanningproductions my favorite freight car is a boxcar

[@russellgxy2905]

0:01 I adore this intro of yours. Two revolutionary designs of different traction and eras, both old but still with a purpose in the modern world Also, for a future episode, perhaps you could talk about different kinds of passenger cars?.

[@CoasterFan2105]

Thank you, Russel. There will definitely be an episode on passenger cars. I had originally planned it for this May, but I had to push it back a bit because I may need more material in order to complete it.

[@benjaminh9081]

first train talk episode uploaded since I subscribed, I went back and watched all the other ones, please make many more! : )

[@CoasterFan2105]

More every month!

[@meeperfive]

The first train talk is my favorite

[@tyhik9338]

CoasterFan2105 is there a train talk episode with electric trains?

[@thaifoodtv5038]

Yeah I love this one too it’s actually amazing

[@sdkfz2512]

I love the green procor centerflow tank cars. I’m getting back into the Rail Road hobby, Just ordered a N scale P 40 amtrak superliner set. The crescent rounds next to my house So it re-invigorated my interest.

[@paulsingh2681]

Very Nice! I am a retired professor but now enjoy being a student and reviewing information that would be beneficial to the Trabsportation industry. Kind regards. Paul

[@fortworthemergencyresponse5305]

I enjoyed your video. Good job,love train talk.

[@thaifoodtv5038]

This is one of those awesome video I ever seen please make many more

[@Lucius_Chiaraviglio]

Finally found the proper name for centerbeam flatcars. One type of freight car that I still don't know the name of, that I saw fairly frequently in the Atlanta area in the 1990s and 2000s (but seems to be getting less common) is a weird skeletal type of car consisting of only a main beam with some depressed flat plates attached to it at one end for accommodating truck trailer wheels, but of total flat area far too small to qualify as a true flatcar, riding on only 2 axles, of length slightly greater than the full-length truck trailers that they are made to carry.

[@ashwalkerthisway7094]

I literally just endeavored to find out what kind of car I saw this morning, and it was the center beam! That's so funny

[@a_renteria]

I work for Sierra Pacific Industries and it definitely put a smile on my face seeing those cars with my company's lumber.

[@brucesharpe1079]

It's amazing how long fright trains are they came in all shapes and sizes good video ( thanks)

[@CoasterFan2105]

Thanks, Bruce!

[@thatoneguy611]

Great video! Gets right to the point and doesn’t waste time.

[@travelingtom923]

Loved seeing those old MP gondolas! The Santa Fe ones built in the 50's were practically indestructible. I used to work in a scrap yard loading those gons with a magnet crane. It didn't matter what kind of scrap you dropped in them or how heavy it was you wouldn't dent it. I remember we had a brand new gon in the yard. I dropped a long drawbar coupler (that was about 7 feet long and weighed around 800 pounds)from a scrapped autorack, from the magnet crane, about 10 feet above it. It came in a bit sideways and went right through the side of the car (half in and half out). The railroad gave us back the indestructible Santa Fe cars after that.

[@lionbill]

Have always wondered about the purpose of those rounded covered cars that carry coils or wire etc. So I learned something. . . Thanks Mike!

[@acelaboy123]

Love these train talk videos!

[@katemccloud3939]

Same

[@CoasterFan2105]

Glad you like them! More to come!

[@SturtevantRails]

Just watched the whole series this morning and when i was finished with #12, this was uploaded :D

[@CoasterFan2105]

Awesome!

[@captainkeyboard1007]

Excellent Train Talk. Now I have learned more about the freight cars that I would not likely see in real life.

[@drgw4883]

Great video! I always enjoy each and every one! They're awesome!

[@CoasterFan2105]

Thank you! Glad you enjoy them!

[@ashwalkerthisway7094]

This was super helpful, I didn't know where to begin but was curious about a kind of car and what it's used for. I now know it's a center beam flat car! Very cool :)

[@57143bodies]

First class digital presentation!!!

[@TommyPicklesFan]

Cool! Now I know about All Types of Freight Cars what ever I watch Trains!

[@CoasterFan2105]

Awesome! Thanks, Alan!

[@MrBnsftrain]

2:20 that's a lot of gondolas! 3:34 nice catch of that streetcar being moved! 5:30 nice catch of a BN well car!

[@CoasterFan2105]

Thanks!

[@oscarzazueta3358]

Wow theirs a lot of fright cars to learn intresting🚝🚞

[@agentM1991]

My favorite freight cars are the flat cars. I love them as I enjoy seeing blocks of tractors and heavy machinery such as construction and military equipment. These are my most anticipated when I am railfaning a location. Norfolk Southern's Pittsburgh Line these trains are not unheard of. I grew up with former Pennsylvania Railroad territory. Where I used to live a branch line was just 3 blocks away. Now I live in Orlando, Florida and I have yet to discover a local CSX freight line.

[@plumbingstuffinoregon2471]

A lot of hopper cars are equipped with rotary couplers. They pull on to a special track that tips the car upsidedown to empty the material.

[@roossoner51]

regards from mexico, Ferromex

[@AndyEinstman]

Great train talk episode

[@CoasterFan2105]

[@mariahhaarstick591]

Awesome break through

[@rodrezdothard8032]

I'm going to attend northwestern railroad institute very soon. I need all the help I can get as far as valuable knowledge about the railroad. This video was helpful.

[@shespeakssoftly]

Thank you! We live in an apartment with a good view below of a major rail line (anything going from Seattle to or from BC), and I’ve been so curious about the types of cars. This was really informative and well-done, just what I hoped to find.

[@Runawayrack]

I already know all of these cars. But my favorite cars are the centerbeams and the autoracks. But nice video!

[@BostonBeaconPark]

Nice video Mike!

[@CoasterFan2105]

Thanks!

[@davek615]

A great video and very interesting and informative. Many thanks!

[@evanbart4109]

[@CoasterFan2105]

Thank you!

[@deonambrose]

Thank you. I’ve always wanted to know what was inside of these train cars!

[@Ynek237]

Great vid

[@meeperfive]

Now we need a passenger car video

[@CoasterFan2105]

That should be coming too!

[@woahspaghetti6069]

I think a Train Talk on types of locomotives or on different train lines would be interesting. :)

[@CoasterFan2105]

Locomotives is coming soon! :)

[@woahspaghetti6069]

YAY! Looking forward to it.

[@Zulnex]

Splendid video. Thank you for sharing.

[@toad9229]

[@kingkramer]

I really love these videos! They answer my train-related questions so well :D

[@TransAmericaRailfan]

I already know most of this, but these videos are so well put together! Also come up to the bay again some. I'm working for SMART and we're just getting going!

[@CoasterFan2105]

Thank you very much! I will be getting to SMART at some point!

[@jimleasure2191]

I think it is time that I add freight cars to my collection of photos!

[@WorldwideRailfan]

Great video! (as usual)

[@CoasterFan2105]

Thank you! (as always :)

[@YardLimit]

Great video, Mike!

[@CoasterFan2105]

Thank you!

[@gerardomorales8694]

My favorite fright car is the Centerbeam

[@Sams_Trains]

You forgot the schnabel car. But then again that is one of the more rare cars out there. Nice video! Have you thought about doing a train talk about the different types of locomotives e.x. ES44AC, SD70ACe t4, GP35-2?

[@CoasterFan2105]

Thank you! I want to do a whole series of videos on different types of diesels.Will have to plan it out.

[@CGT01]

very informative episode good job! ☺

[@CoasterFan2105]

Thank you! :)

[@CGT01]

CoasterFan2105 you're welcome ☺

[@cop-fq2eq]

My dad said that when he used to work for a company they’d bring the Box cars in the factory and they’d load the Car Engines in the box cars

[@pkat]

Just a single nit to pick - Box cars are still considered the #1 most common car, at least Uncle Pete (UP) says so Question: what do you think bathtub coal hoppers should be classified as? I personally think they're high sided gons but most roads call them hoppers.

[@CoasterFan2105]

Thanks Doug! Basically, if it has hatches that open up on the bottom, it's a hopper car. If it doesn't, it's a gondola. So, in that case, I'd say it's a hopper car.

[@pkat]

Bathtub coal hoppers do not have hatches on the bottom, they're emptied by a rotary device that flips them upside down

[@randomwatermelon1]

My top 3 fav freihht cars are: 1. Well cars 2. Tank cars 3. Centerbeam flat cars

[@jaswanthjaswanth8148]

bro nice video and your narration is good

[@knightingalesaid]

Awesome video on train cars. Thanks. Have you made any videos on train talk communication . The radio talk jargon is hard to follow on a scanner.

[@CoasterFan2105]

Thanks! I haven't yet, but hope to do one eventually.

[@matthewmaynard9297]

would love to see an episode on the infamous Sand Patch Grade!

[@AmtrakTitan455]

Amazing video! I have to text you photos of the trains in Japan when I get home :)

[@CoasterFan2105]

Thanks, Patrick!

[@xx_sipeeddie_xx1595]

the refrigerator cars...nice and cool to make my great fruit punch cooler...btw nice video mike

[@thomasfawcett9447]

I subscribed, and gave you a like, because of your good explanation.

[@ClearSignalJDMan]

Nice episode and also for the gondola cares some trash and try to add some trash cars to the next episode the green and blue containers

[@CoasterFan2105]

That's true! Some intermodal cars do too. Thanks!

[@TheDylanJoyce]

Magnificent!

[@CoasterFan2105]

Thanks, Charles!

[@someperson5265]

Can you do a Train Talk episode about the GE Genesis P42DCs and other similar Genesis models?

[@awesomeamericantrainsandte1013]

You should do a train talk episode on bells

[@robadams5799]

This is a very informative video. Most of the railfan videos I see take for granted that I know what an "autorack" or a "gondola" is. Maybe a future episode you an decipher the graffiti on the sides of rail cars. :-)

[@supercorail7284]

beautiful video bravo

[@CoasterFan2105]

Thank you!

[@supercorail7284]

CoasterFan2105 you're welcome

[@transitfanaviationfanrailf9249]

mike do a train talk about different commuters trains like example the sounder or the metrolonk things like that.

[@mikemadden4084]

that was great! thank you!

[@CoasterFan2105]

Thanks, Mike!

[@mohammedhossain7503]

That is true.

[@EuropeanTrainDriver]

I like this video

[@rudraguin]

Make a train talk episode on multiple unit trains

[@wakecountyproductions]

"a boxcar is just a box on wheels with sliding doors" 😂😂 "a box on wheels"

[@brohugproductions2005]

4:45 ooohhhh so that’s what those freight cars are used for

[@Flwrbeds-h4p]

nice vid!! (still want to see a metrolink vid)

[@nigelrichardson4327]

Uh what would you classify the things used to make Norfolk Southern's discontinued Triple Crown train?

[@midwestrailroadproductions8116]

Hey Mike, I love Santa Fe 3751. Would you like to see it again?

[@silversurfervo843]

i saw new york and atlantic :D

[@heather2939]

Hey, can you do a part two of Train Horns. (Ep. 5) I Would Appreciate That. Great Vid BTW!

[@CoasterFan2105]

Hi Heather! I may do another episode on horns in the future! If I do, what kind of information would you like to see?

[@meeperfive]

I want to know about njt horns they are so squeaky and weird

[@meeperfive]

Though this question was not asked to me

[@yaraihan]

[@Shultheiss]

Thanks.

[@paceymauldin4462]

There are spaceship trains,Geometry trains witch Carrie people,Manifest,And railroad car train,And a military train

[@TrolololGaming]

Will you do an episode about RoadRailer trailers?

[@nanba25]

Very clear and interesting, well done ! I notice that gondolas attract much more graffiti than the tanks, hoppers or autoracks ; is there a specific reason ?

[@mohammedhossain7503]

Carry foods and toys and more also.

[@superbaddy4]

1:00 Shy Guy

[@metra160]

Great video I know realize I have have been calling all these freight cars the wrongs names!

[@metra160]

Also what Camera do you use?

[@EuropeanTrainDriver]

good

[@CoasterFan2105]

Thanks!

[@carolinarailfanning]

Missed bulkhead flat.

[@charliehansen2192]

Are you going to upload an updates and Q&A video every year?

[@CoasterFan2105]

Yes, the plan right now is to do one new "Updates & Q&A" video at the beginning of each year. If it looks like I need to do more, I may do 2 of them a year.

[@charliehansen2192]

That would be cool. I like your narrated videos better than the non-narrated ones.

[@DFWRailVideos]

Can you do a train talk on slugs?

[@deepfryer767]

Gondola cars are the 2nd rarest the 1st rarest is a flatcar in Australia for me
