[@HighRail62]

Fantastic video. I especially enjoyed the 3 trains passing at time 14:26. Thanks for sharing my friend!!!

[@mbmars01]

Many thanks! A triple meet is really rare. It was great to see it.

[@norfolksouthernguy9350]

love the variety of trains you catched soome awesome engines cool catches on NS UP AND KCS CSX TO

[@mbmars01]

Indeed, there was still good traffic in Birmingham back then. I don't know how things have changed there since.

[@philliplee980]

sweet NS, UP, KCS & BNSF nice. awesome catches.

[@mbmars01]

Thanks! What about CSX lol?

[@philliplee980]

Haha, never mind :)

[@philliplee980]

[@yankeewhite554]

Been waiting for the first one of the new year and it was worth the wait. Never disappointed.

[@mbmars01]

Thank you very much!

[@davidphilpott6606]

Another enjoyable video. Makes me feel like I was there. I like the new intro.

[@mbmars01]

Awesome, it's the best a video producer can achieve that a video feels so real.

[@AndreiTupolev]

Good to see you back! Hope you had a good seasonally festive break.

[@mbmars01]

Thanks! Yes I had a good break, but without any railfanning :(

Nice Catch On CSX 2009 GP38-3.

[@mbmars01]

Yep, thanks!

[@mikehowey4869]

love the variety of locos,road names.great triple meet!! what a cool way to start the new year!

[@mbmars01]

Yes, it's definitely nice to watch these many trains and their meets. The material is from my visit to Birmingham in November 2016, but the video is indeed a 2017 product :)

[@djheath7720]

great video. lots and lots of csx trains holding up the local norfolk southern southbound mixed freight. liked.

[@mbmars01]

Many thanks. The double NS/CSX diamond sees indeed a lot of rail action.

[@myslicki]

Happy New Year. New 2017 Subscriber. Thanks for all the hard work you've put in on these. Absolutely fantastic. Working my way through them. Especially thanks for adding titles and written explanations for some of the movements. One suggestion, for us not from the south, if it isn't a whole lot of trouble, can you transcribe some of the important radio chatter ? The accents are so thick alot of times I miss what they said.

[@mbmars01]

Many thanks! I have to tell you that often I also don't understand the chatter either lol.

[@markklinefelter9263]

Nice production as usual with your new intro. Loved the triple play at about 14 or so. Great activity at Bham. Miami to Blue Ridge for 2 weeks of peace and quiet in a few weeks. Want to take wife to Dalton but she would probably freeze. LOL.

[@mbmars01]

Thanks! Haha, I can imagine that she's gonna freeze that far up north lol. I'd love to go up the Blue Ridge in this period of the year as well, particularly if there's snow.

[@shaunchisholm11]

Lots and lots of beautiful trains! Sweet video

[@mbmars01]

Cool, thank you!

[@keonisan]

12:15 shouldn't that be Q025 not 26, the southbound not the northbound. It just seems confusing why the NB would be coming from that direction.

[@RailfanJackProductions]

welcome back mb liked the intro on the mini serious.

[@mbmars01]

Thank you! A fresh face for the new year I thought lol.

[@RailfanJackProductions]

Are you going to use that for all videos mike?

[@mbmars01]

Sure, for the next few months certainly. It took me a couple hours to create this one!

[@RailfanJackProductions]

nice! hey next area you should check out down the Columbus area if hadn't done already.

[@mbmars01]

***** Do you mean Columbus GA? I haven't yet been there.

[@NW475]

Good to see you making videos again. Great video as always btw.

[@mbmars01]

Yep! Thank you!

[@hlongjr46]

Awesome !!! What a way to start 2017.....Smyrna. GA.

[@mbmars01]

Thanks! Well, it was in last November but the video is a good start for sure :)

[@maciejqantas5535]

Another great railway movie :) How do you do that? It must be railroad love :)

[@mbmars01]

Thanks! This is just my hobby. I guess, one only chooses a topic for a hobby that one really likes :)

[@fritzd2116]

Loved 34:40 the C60AC-with 2 exhaust stacks, even! :cool:

[@mbmars01]

Oh I know...

[@csxtransportationrailfan3085]

awesome video and nice start for it

[@mbmars01]

Great, thank you!

[@larryrwendelljr4465]

Gosh you were busy that day, so many trains and so many colors, keep up the good work! And Happy New Year too! :o)

[@mbmars01]

It's a great town for railfanning and the spots on the bridges have the advantage that one doesn't miss a train - even if several meet. Happy New Year!

[@mikesnow4936]

[@mbmars01]

Awesome! Yea, Birmingham is a good place to watch interesting trains as most Class I railroads interchange there.

[@shemarperkins7167]

I feel so bad for that engineer that had to wait on all them trains to get by... I bet he was bored 😂

[@mbmars01]

Lol

[@FEROMODELISTAS]

That norfolk southern train was waiting a long time for free

[@mbmars01]

Yes, this is true. CSX had the right of way for a long time.

[@FEROMODELISTAS]

[@dave3216]

UP stacker in Alabama?

[@klavdij001]

OHHHHHHH WOW COOL 3 TRAINS IN MEETING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH MY GOODNESS.

[@HeartlandTuber]

Nice video. I grew up in Bham, left in 1969. I had use maps.google.com to get oriented. So much has changed. Fascinating to see what heavy rail traffic goes through the city. I had no idea. Saw Sloss furnace complex in the background in the east. Need to visit aqain, my tee shirt from the furnace gift shop wore out years ago. When I was a teenager I lived in Norwood, would walk across the viaduct, and the furnaces were still active, you could watch the molten waste being dumped from the furnaces. Nice to see something positive about my hometown, for a change.

[@mbmars01]

+HeartlandTuber Thanks! It seems many things are changing in Birmingham. I've talked to some people who live there and who told me stories about the past. It was quite interesting.
