It was an honor putting on a show for y’all. I can confirm (I was the brakeman on the back) that the crew had just as much fun as y’all did!

[@trainchick2011]

You guys always do a stand up job at Spencer! I have been many times and really enjoy it each and every visit! Cant wait to get back and see 611 fired up!!!! It’s a huge item on my bucket list!

[@thunderboltproductions8618]

Why did the steam train not blow its whistle ?

[@thetoyahsubrailfan4174]

@@thunderboltproductions8618You couldn't hear Thunderbolt productions because of the loud M5s blowing their horns. They take over the other horns at 14:17

[@SWORails]

Man, they crews were having fun with the horns! Lol

[@RailfanRowan]

Yes they make it fun, many of them are volunteers too!!

[@SWORails]

@@RailfanRowan that’s cool, there’s a local place in Cincinnati called the LM&M they run excursions for holidays and stuff, they have two NKP GP’s and a C&O high hood, they just recently bought a Chessie GP30 as well

Seeing locomotives like 6133 takes me back to my childhood I grew up living by the tracks and when I was 4 or 5 years old my dad would lift me up so I could wave to the engineers very special times with my dad🙂👍

[@christianchaplain1305]

Another awesome video by Mr. Railfan Rowan. God bless my friend and thanks again for all that you do. ☝🏼🙏🏻👍🏼

[@FortWorthMobileMechanic]

Love and miss bearing those Southern diesels horns.

[@charleskesner1302]

Outstanding. Not rain, cold or dark of night can keep young railfans from enjoying their passion for trains.

[@asquithmainlines699]

Christian I am sure you will remember your 18th forever. What a treat and so nice of you to share it with your friends. That was so awesome. Rowan thank you for recording it and sharing will all of us.

Happy Birthday to Mr. McCann. Very cool party! Love those F7 engines! The B&O Museum had there’s on display last month in the roundhouse. Only got to see it as a static display but it was really cool. 6133 made this once young kid giddy again.

[@RailfanRowan]

You're welcome Thomas! Thanks!!

[@robertcampbell6713]

Rowan, I have to tell you just how much I enjoy your channel!! I came across it by accident and I’m so glad I did... 1st Mom and I have been enjoying it so much because, well who doesn’t love trains and the Officer Chevon trial is on every channel UGH.... I catch the highlights on the news.... But wait there is more..... I grew up in northern Virginia, Mom a Fairfax County School teacher ret. Dad Col ret and US DOJ ret. I went to West Springfield High School and after that worked for Continental at Wash Dulles and Amtrak from 1988-1998 on the Auto Train for 5 Years and then Conductor on the NE Corridor going between DC and NY.... The picturesque quality of your videos in and around Manasses brings back sooooo many memories for us .... I grew up around trains , Dad would take me every other Sunday to the Alexandria train Station for hours at a time to watch trains giving up precious football time..... but like you, I got my license one day and I’d either be at the train station or Washington National Airport watching planes.... Rowan you are doing an amazing job inspiring those younger than you and older than you... if I still lived in Northern Va I’d love to go for a train chase with you sometime but alas I’m in Bradenton Fl. Dad past 7 years ago and Mom had this big 4 bedroom house. she’s also 82 now... so I’m here helping and doing what I can.... Both Mom and I are HUGE FANS and can’t wait to see more of your amazing videos!!! Keep up the GREAT job ROWAN, your AMAZING!!!! I do have some Amtrak paraphernalia you might like to own.... let me know and I’d be happy to select some items and send them to you for your collection... All I ask in return would be an Autograph.... just like the one you gave that little boy at the train show..... and you are right, I could feel and hear the emotion in your voice... when you said, “ It doesn’t get any better that this! “ it’s true !!! I had the honor of giving a few autographs out when I was a Conductor and it doesnt get any better than that!! Stay safe, God bless, your AMAZING ROWAN!!! Thank YOU FOR all YOU do everyday!!!! One of your many adoring fans Robert ( Bob ) Campbell. [e-mail]

Hey Rowan My 4 year old is a huge fan of yours. Your his favorite to watch on yt. I was wandering why you haven’t posted in a while. My son is wandering also. Pray you’re fine. My son says it’s because you’ve been railfanning all day. He’s a railfanner as well. His favorite is Norfolk southern (I think mostly because you said you liked ns a lot). And we have a ns yard 20 minutes away so we go there and watch often. He wants me to tell you he has a big wooden train track. (We build different ones all the time) “Stay safe God bless And happy foaming “
