Rowan's Top Catches of The Decade | 2010-2019 | Railfan Rowan

[@Keystone_State_Rail_Films]

That was a fun decade. And congrats on seeing all 20 heritage units

[@Keystone_State_Rail_Films]

I hope to see u track side again

Cp 6590 is a Fp9A

[@CentralPennRailProductions]

Funny, this came up in my suggestions a year later. I can't believe I didn't discover this channel until 2020! Lots of good scenes in here, might have to make my own 10 year video. Oh and I am jealous of your voice dude, I wish my commentary came out half as good. Can't wait to see what you bring us in the new decade.

[@ROTE]

Yeah same, I only knew about this channel about a month ago. And I also got this in my recommendation one year later.

Many thanks to your parents and grandparents for all their help in raising a true rail fan! I know many of us appreciate their hard work!

[@railfancannon9321]

Awesome catches Rowan I really miss the dash 8’s and the Dash 9’s standard cabs and the SD70 standard cabs’s too

[@loveangrybirdssomuch]

Railfan Cannon me too buddy me too

[@gp40railfan44]

I miss you then a lot too

[@RailStalkerAdventures]

What an awesome look back on the decade, Rowan. Let's hope that 2020 through 2029 treats us railfans a whole lot better and hope that this stupid PSR black cloud goes away to bring back all the trains, brother.

[@WayneKline]

Just watched this again. Forgot how great it was, with family history. Well done Railfan Rowan!

[@RailfanRowan]

Thanks as always good friend!

[@ScrepTure]

I love those Santa Fe units. Their paint schemes are beautiful!

[@Nick_J_]

They look so much better cleaned, heritage or no, the difference is unreal

[@JackCarsonsRailroadVideos]

2511's old cast P5 is amazing

[@SilverCometMedia]

Jack Carson's Railroad Videos has it been rebuilt to a SD70ACC yet and if it did, did it keep the P5?

[@wakecountyproductions]

It’s chilling too.

[@vernonmatthews181]

Thanks for sharing your decade of railfanning. Glad to hear of your parents support, I knew of Grandfathers support from earlier. Stay safe & Godbless.😎👌👍

[@RailfanRowan]

Thank you Vernon and yes before I could drive grandad was my chauffeur!! Lol he's a good man, I haven't been railfanning with him in a long time!

[@katterrell2103]

NS 611 is fine! Great catches. Caboose! Love them.

[@RailfanRowan]

Thanks!!

[@SilverCometMedia]

That 6920 shot in front of the flag is amazing. Great shot of the OCS with 8099, I missed that one. Loved the 611 chase. Amazing decade for you sir!

[@kens.3729]

As Expected, another Quality video from Railfan Rowan! Happy New Year! Thanks! 👍

The Norfolk and Western 611 at 1:50, reminds me of back to the future part 3 when Doc comes back just after the DeLorean gets destroyed on the tracks.

[@jacobdubielak]

Norfolk and western 611 sure does look like the same train from back to the future

[@jerrysinclair3771]

"I have only one train meet..." ROWAN, you are still young --- plenty of time to catch meets in other parts of the country! Great video! Small snippets instead of long trains make for a very interesting piece. I'm holding out for a droped signal. Happy New Year and God bless.

These were some great catches 🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃

[@atsf-3415]

Great that your mom supported your railfanning, as my mother did, and still does. I'm 52, and she is 73, and she flew in early for Thanksgiving to go along and chase UP 4014. My father always said he didn't understand the attraction my mom and I had for trains. LOL

[@awesometrains2196]

Hey this is awesome that 2561 solo leading sd70 i saw that in 2018 leading solo on a intermodal train!!

[@DarkTerritory71]

I really enjoyed the narration of the video, kinda reminded me of the older type railfanning films! Very nice! Thanks for sharing!

[@KDubielak]

I seen the norfolk southern brick train in irondale Alabama while railfanning it was so awesome

[@jacobdubielak]

It was on December 14th a few minutes before Norfolk southern 4000 I didn't have a railfan scanner

[@Ickabogg]

Awesome compilation of your rail fan decade. I’m so glad I had the chance to attend the railfan rallies at both Cresson PA and Fostoria OH. God bless.

[@easternncrailfan7594]

I was about to question how you haven’t seen many rail meets until I heard you did not live near any double track lol

[@Maddog-wm5xi]

I was thinking the same thing, I live near Altoona, Pa and i regularly go up to the brickyard and see 2 sometimes 3 trains passing at the same time... not to mention seeing trains meet at Horseshoe Curve and Altoona Yard.

[@jacobdubielak2699]

@@Maddog-wm5xi I didn't know that Norfolk southern railroad had their own train yard in Altoona pa I wonder how far away is it from the horse shoe crive

[@davidmeek3104]

If you like double tracks come to Winchester Kentucky. We have passing trains a lot. Happy New year.

[@donhunking2286]

I can hear it in your voice , and see it in your work . We're going to see a LOT more of your work in the future . Excellent audio and video . Don't worry about train meets , you 'll see plenty in what I hope to see a very long future for you and trains . You'll soon see that weather nor distance will make much if any difference . Well done . I will be watching for more from you .👍👍

[@Ozarkrailfanprod8098]

Wow congrats man! That’s awesome 😎 can’t wait to do this after 10 years!

Now this just.... gives me a bunch of Memory's of your channel when i first subscribed in 2017 on my phone

[@bart3531]

What an amazing journey and compilation of your videos. We love these and wish, like you do, that we could be riding along with the engineer in every train we watch. But we would be waving at railfans a lot more I imagine. Keep up the great work.

[@blueridgerails7779]

Beautiful narration and videos! Wish I could be there with ya. Fantastic video! Happy foaming and railfanning.

Nice catches! Thanks for sharing!

Amazing video man!! You can’t find a whole decade of great trains like this one. I really enjoyed it.

I gotta say, 2018 I saw my most favourite catches! Cheers to a decade Rowan!

In the future the 611 might come back to Strasburg railroad pa for more of the 475 Norfolk and Western. I will keep you up to date on if it will come up here again.

[@JBridges1092]

Excellent montage. I loved all the clips of the 611. It is one of my favorite steam engines. I am rather displeased with NS for discontinuing their steam program. Great video, though. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you, Rowan! I enjoyed this so much. You are very knowledgeable and entertaining. Happy New Year and good hunting

[@roberthuron9160]

An addition to your commentary! Those PRR units on the old N&W,isn't what most people expect and there a story there! The Pennsylvania owned the N&W for a period,and even rostered some ex-PRR, K-class 4-6-2's,so there are now several ties that bind! The real irony is that the N&W, runs the old PRR Pittsburgh division,and lines West,! How the mighty have fallen! By the way,you sound like me,when I was 15,and just getting my feet wet,as a rail fan,and now 60 years later,I've never stopped being that self same teenager. Man,I hope you never grow up,because you'll always be a student and always learning! One new thing a day,and think of a week,or a month. Knowing is a powerful force for good. 🚂🚄🚊🚍🚇🚆🚋

My catch of the decade was big boy 4014. I am from Tennessee and when 4014 came through Kansas (which I have visited there many times) it was a school weekend. I was only able to catch it four times due to heavy traffic from fellow railfanners

Tell me about it catching a Heritage unit only one year old would be an catch any day for me it’s sad NS doesn’t keep their Heritage units clean anymore it just sucks

[@tuccimane]

It costs money to clean them. Money the company cant afford to spend. Mike Farrell doesn't care about railroad heritage. He cares about precision. All heritage units will probably be replaced within the next 5 years. They're all just junk now.

[@johnstudd4245]

Most US railroads are notorious about not keeping freight locos(which is pretty much all there is, 98%) clean. It does not help their bottom line.

[@thetoyahsubrailfan4174]

@@tuccimane That is sad, because it is probably true, and the K5LLA's are all so fouled and gross sounding when they used to sound so nice and cool! And now the paint on the locos look like crap, too.

[@donreed]

Would a foundation PLEASE stake Rowan so he can teach the adults how to professionally narrate films and videos; to speak coherently as reporters on TV; to likewise state positions and opinions as politicians, etc? His talent is being unassuming. I wish it were contagious.

[@shooter-bo9iz]

Amazing catches. You just got yourself one new subscriber. And i gotta say, 2019 I got to ride behind N&W #611 in Strasburg on one of her excursions. She is one beautiful engine. I would kill for an experience like that again.
