0:32 I appreciate the kids putting on a show with their colorful umbrellas! 5:16 I love how the mist makes the trees appear in silhouette. That view would make a nice painting. 7:21 It's one thing to be careless about your own life, but don't involve your dog in your foolishness!! 15:45 On a clear day, the view from the Hesperia cam is picture postcard-worthy. 17:00 That's what you get for trying to rush ahead of other cars.

I never get tired of looking at locos colors and designs. They remind me of sports uniforms. Always excited to see one for the first time. In earlier times enjoyed the same on many boxcars too.

Happy birthday quinceañera.

[@stormyrebeccarobinson]

At 7:59, the rain foot is actually a microburst. A microburst is a localized column of sinking air (downdraft) within a thunderstorm and is usually less than or equal to 2.5 miles in diameter. Microbursts can cause extensive damage at the surface, and in some instances, can be life-threatening.

[@citylimits8927]

In addition to trains, it’s also great to see all of the other modes of transportation in these videos, like the barges on the Mississippi at 4:51 or the hot air balloon in Strasburg at 5:16. I can’t wait for the next shot of a Cape Canaveral launch from the Cocoa FL webcam, an airplane, or some vintage automobile crossing the tracks in some future grab bag.

[@TinkerTailor4303]

Have never heard of a rain foot!🤔 Not only did that guy risk his life but jeopardized the dog's as well -- he didn't have any choice in the matter. Beautiful rainbow at the end but, boy, those cars were going fast!😂

Loved it! That poor schmo in Revy though--I was afraid he was high-centered on the cement. Ending (or nearly) with the rainbow was magical!

Rest In Peace, our old boy, TRCX 814. Had a short but good run on Tri-Rail.

[@kennethhanks6712]

814 not heading for scrap but now private owned, note BUGX report mark, and may have future in preservation service.

[@superbaddy4]

Tri-Rail already parted it out before they sold it to BUGX, and its condition was essentially dead even before that, as the reason it was retired in the first place was because it had a catastrophic mechanical failure that was far too expensive to fix. There's nothing else to do with it besides scrapping it.

[@kronikkronolov9793]

New to train watching, trying to figure out how to differentiate trains. I got a nice overview of a local yard, I keep reading about specific trains with particularly routes, like for instance, I'll see something mention the Q036 heading to Chicago(made up example.) How would one determine which train that is in the yard(can see from a top down perspective and from a fence at a gas station? Also is there a particular way to to identify where a train is heading from the public sector? I know there are phone numbers you could call as a customer/railroad police/etc...but i mean juat as a member of the public. Finally are there any rail fans discord servers? I have way more question in general.

[@amidwesternjourneycultureh1334]

Freight trains aren't scheduled, however, many railroads have daily trains that knowledgeable railfans will know about what time they come through. There is no public number to call.

Hi

[@lowellvillerailfanproductions]

So why they're always like a grain Hopper before and after a super-long tanker train like what is it purpose

[@C40-8Wproductions]

So if the chemicals were to leak, they wouldn’t be caught on fire through the locomotives. It’s a safety code

[@lowellvillerailfanproductions]

@@C40-8Wproductions ok so that explains the front one so they like have sand or something to absorbed the spillage?

[@jamesmckenzie3532]

Buffer cars. Required by code so if something were to happen to the locomotives it won't get to the tank cars and if the train were to be hit the car would be destroyed but train intact.

[@kennethhanks6712]

@@lowellvillerailfanproductions The buffer cars as much to protect the head end loco crews of the tank train itself if wrecked while the rear car is a protection for any loco crew involved in a rear end collision.
