[4M] CSX NO&M Subdivision Railfanning in Mobile, AL, 01/16+17/2017 ©mbmars01

[@trainguy1792]

Man brings me back to childhood watching trains pass through downtown from a hotel window, especially thought it was cool how the trains pass right below the convention center.

[@mbmars01]

It's an awesome location.

[@virginialoverproductions]

Excellent! I love going down to the Gulf Coast. Something is so alluring about the Gulf Coast railroad. The whole shadow of Amtrak is pretty cool. Last summer, I went to the USS Alabama. I'm glad you went, too!

[@mbmars01]

I like this area as well. Every time I go there I see something special.

[@mile24media92]

Beautiful footage. What an incredible backdrop for filming.

[@mbmars01]

Cool, I'm happy you enjoyed watching it. There are really nice spots in the area and fortunately Mobile is a rather small city, which means one can still railfan it without having too much hassle with road traffic.

[@205004gs]

Some of these trains actually pass through my town. Great job as always!

[@mbmars01]

Nice, glad you enjoyed it.

[@philliplee980]

awesome video & catches. sweet CSX, CP, UP, TR switchers, BNSF, FXE, NS, nice.

[@mbmars01]

Thank you! You name it, the video shows it :)

[@philliplee980]

[@larryrwendelljr4465]

A beatiful 2 days of railroad railfanning fun, very nicely done.

[@mbmars01]

Thank you! It was really fun down there.

[@mikehowey4869]

fantastic video,enjoyed every minute of it! lots and lots of action.those loram trains are fascinating machines especially in action.

[@mbmars01]

Thank you very much. I have to say that I also like it lol

[@gary24fan]

Thanks for some great videos and I have subscribed. I really enjoy railfan videos without commentary laid over it like some channels do. Take care.

[@mbmars01]

Cool, welcome! I know, I don't like it either if there's too much talking in videos.

[@HyperActive7]

I think seeing the CP leader was worth the whole dang trip!

[@mbmars01]

Well, there was fortunately a lot more stuff to watch, but it was a nice treat, for sure.

[@RogerRubarb]

Thanks again! Great presentation as usual.

[@mbmars01]

Appreciated. Glad you liked it.

[@TolgaEastCoast]

You literally hit the jackpot out there!

[@mbmars01]

In which sense...?

[@joshuakarteh]

I suspect CP 9657 is enjoying the warmer weather down south. Nice zombie catch as well at 17:00. Like!!!

[@mbmars01]

Very much so, I guess :) Thanks!

[@josebadillo9134]

Hey mbmars01 great video its me CSX pichal changed my KZbin channel to my name so I went railfanning Sessoms ga. And they had a change crew and the conductor invited me to go in CSX no. 7806 bound from Orlando Florida and I said crap yeah and he let me drove it and I also saw a BNSF es44ch and Canadian national locomotive with it seven trains in 4 hours and 6 mins today was awesome

[@mbmars01]

Wow, this must have been a great experience! Glad you got to see some trains today.

[@Nicola636128]

Great video and catches.

[@mbmars01]

Thank you very much!

[@railfanallen]

I seen that Loram equipment on the A-Line like a year ago.

[@Trainman1776]

Man I can watch these like a Netflix series lol.

[@mbmars01]

Just do it lol. There are more than 500 videos on this channel :)

[@Jacobkorowin4014]

Great video. Loved the leagth

[@mbmars01]

Lol, thanks

[@emdthewayitought2b545]

Great video. When will you be back to your regular stomping ground?

[@mbmars01]

Well, I am. There will be an Abbeville video coming soon.

[@RailPreserver2K]

when you chase trains do you chase them with the car window up ? I am just wondering because I chase them with the car window down but what would you recommend ? also if you are ever in North Carolina don't forget to check out Hamlet okay

[@mbmars01]

Well, the video looks nicer if the window is down, but then you have the wind that makes all this undesired noise. I have no actual recommendation. Try it out. Yeah, Hamlet is certainly an interesting spot.

[@RailPreserver2K]

mbmars01 I told you and I am going back on the first week in April who knows, maybe you and I may meet each other in Hamlet and we probably won't know it

[@jacksonslaterelevatorraila6444]

is this line or the M&M worth it anymore

[@SeatedViper]

I know that American and Canadian operators rent locomotives to/from other lines quite a lot, but how regular is the sight of a Canadian loco in Alabama?

[@mbmars01]

CN operates an own line that leads into Mobile, AL (on former Illinois Central track). I have a recent video on my channel that features their activities. CP units appear possibly as frequent as anywhere else in the south.

[@josebadillo9134]

Yeah man it was awesome how about you this was the second time

[@ritaloy8338]

I found it odd to see two tank cars with three axle trucks in 2:50 - 2:55.

[@novastardom2689]

yay first comment... but didnt you say in your last video youd be back at the abbeville sub?

[@mbmars01]

Well, I think I said "soon" :) but yes, I have new material from the Abbeville Sub, which probably will be in the next video.

[@novastardom2689]

Just hope 616 doesn't break down alot as it did last year

[@jamesmark782]

Is the building that spans the tracks a shopping mall .

[@mbmars01]

No, it's the convention center.

[@lichitaacunadiazduran4072]

The csx 3298 is a tier 4

[@southwestohiorails4645]

What video editor do you use

[@mbmars01]

+Southwest Ohio Rail Production's Nowadays Final Cut Pro X, before iMovie

[@jacobybrownlee6456]

Must be a no horn zone ?

[@mbmars01]

Yes, downtown Mobile is a quiet zone (unfortunately).

[@MrCsxtrain]

What is the frequency number for the Alabama State Docks? And the line that has the the track running under the building?

[@mbmars01]

Well, there are 5 railroads with their yard/dispatcher/road channels. I used my scanner in search mode across the entire band, which is not optimal, but I was too lazy to figure out the individual channels. The line that goes through downtown Mobile belongs to the CSX NO&M Subdivision and the road channel of CSX is 161.370 MHz if I remember it correctly.

[@MrCsxtrain]

Okay, Thanks man!

[@rizste747]

mon dieu qu'il et long!

[@borisobrucicov5460]
