The Amtrak Crescent #20 overtakes NS 361 (w/idiot talking) in Mableton,Ga 06-09-2010©

[@GTRailroadVideos]

@benschlechter Yes it was the 'Southern Crescent' until the late 1970's, and I believe it was if not the last passenger trains that Amtrak took over.

[@kfangz]

Dude you had everything in this video, Train race, horn dual, and awsome crews I bet. Awsome video Gene as always bro. I would tell that boy straight up to shut the hell up or get away from me lol.

[@mmcckkgg]

Great catch Gene! You need to wear a sign:" Railfan at work-please do not talk to distract"

[@NCtrainlover]

Great video, it sounded like the trains were having a battle of the horns! But seriously that guy wouldn't stop talking, you should have push him in front of Amtrak.

[@LumityCanon4131]

its like a horn war between the Amtrak and the ex.Conrail unit amazing catch Gene. Michael Scott

[@JoshuaTheTransitProdigy]

Great race capture!! Keep up the awesome work and hopefully you'll get more races!

[@GTRailroadVideos]

@mondongonegro Thanks again! I like this one a lot also, if that guy wasn't talking through the video it would be in my top 10!

[@GTRailroadVideos]

@0verload It wouldn't have been so bad if he had just asked what I was doing, then went about his business/on his way. Thanks for the comment also!

[@LinemanRailfain]

Great shot! You handled that much better then I would have...I would told him to shut the hell up till I get done recording! Loved the meet though!

[@AmtrakCal462]

That's a great catch you got!! Good timing, love the competing horns!!

[@thetrainman407]

I love it, you give the whole rundown of what is happening and then he goes "OH WELL YOU GOT UM BOTH THATS WHATS GOIN ON." No, really?

[@GTRailroadVideos]

@FutureBNSFEngineer Drunk or on something for sure. Thanks for the comment!

[@CutterJ]

Great video, Gene....You showed a great deal of restraint and patience....5***** Cutter

[@GTRailroadVideos]

@AJBMP43 Yep it's just like the movie 'Idiocracy' !!! lol All I wanted to say was 'SHUT UP!' lol Thanks for the compliment and comment!

[@hairoftehdog]

"I've always wanted to jump on a train like that, just to see where it goes". Few seconds later. "You have no clue how far I've gone on trains."

[@GTRailroadVideos]

@GenesisSanctuary I hear ya, I almost wanted to mute the audio on the video because of the jerk.

[@GTRailroadVideos]

@oceano336 Yep for sure! Thanks for the comment also!

[@FlyBikes089]

Sweet video!!!! I love see NS 361 went to slow approached for allow to Amtrak pass them or something lol. Ah, sorry I can't hear what a stranger talked you a while you filmed on AMTK #20 and NS 361 because I am deaf :(

[@kenjr29mfl]

Awesome shot, Gene.

[@GTRailroadVideos]

@SOU5111 Thanks!!! Well that's a good question on the odds, I'd have to say about 1,222 to 1 since this was the only time it happened out of all my videos! LOL!

[@Greatdome99]

Two suggestions: 1 Use a remote microphone separate from the camera and placed in front at a distance. 2 Don't shoot at railroad crossings. Walk in a bit where you can be alone.

[@f22bjm]

Nice video Gene... was the guy drunk or just trying to act cool?

[@gentshep]

Oh, dude...he really just goes on and on. Kind of amusing now, tho I bet you had steam comin out your ears by the end. Shoulda got a picture of him. Great train footage, as always, esp. the meet with the horns.

[@RailfanDaniel]

Great video! What an awesome overtaking! Side by side! Great horn battle too! As for that person. Its pretty simple, your by the tracks, there's a train coming and your filming. Obviously your a railfan. Then he asks you what your doing. Your busy and trying to get a good shot and he bothers you and you were nice enough to even talk to him. Then he gets mad and calls you a mofo. That is very disrespectful. That dude is an idiot. Next time he talks like that he'll probably get a fist to the face.

[@PaulCashman]

Great shot with the "dual horn attack"! And that talkative fewl just adds comedy to the mix. :)

[@GTRailroadVideos]

@nsmline335 Dude that's awesome! Which way does 335 go? Maybe 361 ends at Atlanta?

[@GTRailroadVideos]

@Aero203 Thanks! Yea fortunately this has been the only time an idiot has walked up and talked during my videos!

[@GTRailroadVideos]

@mmcckkgg No doubt! Thank you for the cool comment also!

[@GTRailroadVideos]

@AmtrakCal462 Thanks! At least you couldn't hear that jerk over the horn as they passed by...

[@GTRailroadVideos]

@csxes44ah True! Thanks for the comment also!

[@DpLfilms]

OMG! A CSX SD60M and my fav CSX unit were paired together stopped on the Pan Am Worcester Main in Massachusetts, and it was departing, right when it was blowing for the crossing, some lady is like "Whatta ya doing!". I was about to go nuts, I was waiting for 2hrs in 10 degree weather for that thing and she wrecked it. But yet the line is 10mph so I just caught up with it later.

[@GTRailroadVideos]

@geeps08 Yea he was an idiot for sure. Thank you also for the comment!

[@GTRailroadVideos]

@NahuntaSubFoamer5115 Man, I wanted to soo bad, but he probably would have got an attitude and I'd have to kick his butt! LOL! Thanks for the cool comment also!

[@GTRailroadVideos]

@kenjr29mfl Thanks Ken! You didn't like the commentary! LOL!

[@EricJP1]

"So what exactly are you trying to take a picture of?"

[@Buffalotrains93]

Great catch, with the Ex-Conrail and Ex N&W. Guy didn't really seem to have a clue about what he was talking about. If he was up there everyday, how was he not a "Train Fanatic"? Anyways bud, great catch, awesome videos, and defenitly subbed! Take care, Ryan

[@GTRailroadVideos]

@TB4JY LOL! Yea that's what he said to me! That guy was a dang nut. Funny thing is last night I was out there behind Barnes Hardware recording and 173 was waiting for 172 to pass them, when 172 came around the curve the crewman for 173 was at the crossing, told that guy to stop, but instead he ran right in front of 172 by about 15 feet!!!

[@GTRailroadVideos]

@morfeusz120 Thanks once again! Too bad that idiot talked through the whole video! BTW this is one of my favorite shots I've recorded minus the 'commentary' by the dummy.

[@GTRailroadVideos]

@JgordonAmtrak1 Sounded like a brand new P5 to me...Thanks Jeff! Too bad I forgot to bring my bum repellent with me! LOL!

[@CSX2665]

god i swear man i cant stand people sit there and look at us like theyve never seen nobody record a damn train man you shouldve just told him to shut his mouth

[@FutureBNSFEngineer]

LOL awsome video man...But was that guy drunk lol

[@hawleywe]

when I hear this guys voice, I have a mental image of cousin eddie from the vacation movies

[@benschlechter]

Didn't Southern Railway used to have the Crescent on its roster?

[@wideworldofrailroads4014]

I have a Norfolk southern railroad spike

[@amtrakandcsxrailfanning164]

Great race and horn actuon

[@GTRailroadVideos]

@1489011 I actually like the ex-Conrail's horn better than the horn on Amtrak, at least in this video.Thanks Michael!

[@hairoftehdog]

OMG that guy is so ripped. What a sketch ball, lawl! 'Oh, you got both dem, dat's wats up!'

[@GTRailroadVideos]

@FGLK1751 I know, I didn't need a commentator! LOL!

[@wideworldofrailroads4014]

I have a Norfolk Southern railroad spike

[@GTRailroadVideos]

@RailfanDaniel I saw him today (6-10-2010) I was on the platform this time, and he had a broken arm tonight! Didn't come over to me, he thought about it, then turned around and walked off. Yea he talks in the video about jumping in one of the open boxcars...maybe he tried! LOL!

[@GTRailroadVideos]

@hallcert I told someone else I should have interviewed him, or told him to try and jump in the boxcar! Send it to RealTv or TruTv!

[@GTRailroadVideos]

@spartan0738 Thanks! Yea I wish I could 'edit' out that fool talking, I tried to get him to hush, but he didn't get the hint. LOL!

[@GTRailroadVideos]

@maxstrains Instead of trying to ignore him, I should have done the jedi mind trick on him!

[@GTRailroadVideos]

@EricJP1 Ha Ha! Yea I know right!? Hello I'm at the RR tracks, 2 trains are coming, oh yea I'm taking pics of the wildlife...lol.

[@ns_6963]

I've talked to a guy like that before... Actually it was a couple of nine year olds, but they were just like that.

[@GTRailroadVideos]

@Pellaz2112 LOL! Thanks my friend! Yea he was a fool for sure!

[@GTRailroadVideos]

@jrmasoh Ha Ha!!! He was a piece of work for sure Jerry! Funny the next day he came by there (didn't stop or anything) but had a cast on his arm, then a few weeks later same guy ran right in front of 172 coming through Mableton! Ahh yea...humanity at it's best! LOL!

[@GTRailroadVideos]

@hairoftehdog I know the guy was 'not all there' and he had supposedly been in the train tunnels in New York (whatever that means) and...well all I heard was 'blah blah blah blah blaaaah' and tried to stay focused on my task at hand.LOL!

[@GTRailroadVideos]

@soundguyjr Indeed!!!

[@adtrains75]

great video man, you must have been anoyed by that guy!

[@oceano336]

There is nothing more annoying then someone talking in my train videos! Great catch btw!!

[@SOU5111]

Awesome catch! What are the odds you would have an idiot there at the same time.

[@GTRailroadVideos]

@thetrainman407 LOL! Yea check the other comments on the video, I really should have filmed him! LOL! Now THAT would have truly been funny!

[@donovanjreed]

Dude this was AWESOME!! The way they blew there horns, i just loved it. Now lets talk about mister talk alot. Lol where i live people talk trash like that ALOT! At leased he didn't ask you if you where surveying, everyone who's come up to me ask me that. But when he told you about the tracks diverging into one, doesn't every railfan know his local area? Lmao. awesome video man, keep up the good work =]

[@GTRailroadVideos]

@Survivor1547 Whoosh! Indeed!

[@Tuglife912]

Awesome video other than that damn airhead that was running his damn mouth. He needs to shut up and mind his own damn business. If you want to video trains I think you should have the right to do so without interference. When I worked for CSX Transportation from 2014-2020 I had no problem with railfans. Hell I was friends with most of them. A rail fan would definitely be a big help if an airline separated or a knuckle broke and we needed a hand with a ride. Awesome video! Thanks for sharing! I can tell you if I ever go back to a land based job, I’m definitely going back to the railroad. Probably Norfolk Southern, Florida East Coast, or BNSF Railway this time around. That P-5 is one of my favorite horns! Classic Southern Railway and Norfolk Southern!

[@Morfeusz120]

Wooow! Super !Great Video.The best

[@GTRailroadVideos]

@maxstrains LOL! I should have interviewed him after the trains cleared!

[@GTRailroadVideos]

@furryfurball1221 Thanks! Yea more like a horn battle! LOL!

[@GTRailroadVideos]

@pengapop12 LOL! I was hoping he'd try to jump in the open boxcars myself!

[@GTRailroadVideos]

@Canesfan7012 Thanks! Yea I love getting shots like this! Too bad that moron wouldn't shut the heck up and leave me alone!

[@DaMeng3000]

Last guy who did that to me, I told them to shut the fuck up and walk away...... Lol... Nice catch!

[@GTRailroadVideos]

@LinemanRailfain Believe me you have no idea how much I wanted to say something to this bum, it was for the camera and my viewers that I did not.

[@five0fan]

Nice catch!!! Too bad that guy was telling you his whole life story!

[@steffens69]

I hate it when people talk in my videos .

[@Morfeusz120]

Mega awesome big Horn

[@0verload]

awsome catch, talk about the right place at the right time! the guy talking was a bit annoying, however he does seem like a nice enough guy just maybe a little clueless/lonely. Whatever though, the vid was great.

[@mordstreich]

Ah wait forget the last comment, I misheard him he said stop.

[@Storm-nq5cn]

Nice catch

[@fredolka8552]

Now that was really cool. Yeah the dude didn't stop talking but he didn't know better. I bet if he asked nicely he would've be quiet till you were done shooting. Then he would've talked you ear off...

[@GTRailroadVideos]

@b18cyacrxs Thanks! Would have been perfect if that bum hadn't walked up and talked through the dang video!

[@GTRailroadVideos]

@hairoftehdog Yea when he walks up he's like 'what you takin pictures of?' In my head I thought...Umm hello, I'm standing on the side of 2 sets of RR tracks with absolutely nothing else around me and a train coming right at me...Bunny rabbits! That's what I'm recording, and pink elephants!

[@GTRailroadVideos]

@f22bjm Thanks! IDK I think he was a junkie or something...but he wouldn't hush during the video...lol

[@guitars14]

Freakin sweet!

[@GTRailroadVideos]

@tpe18509 Thanks! I know right! lol

[@GTRailroadVideos]

@b18cyacrxs Yea this guy was a complete moron, he was like 'what you recording?' duhh I've got my camera POINTED at the TRAIN coming right at me, what do you think I'm recording, the dang tree leaves? lol

[@Norfolk7130]

AWESOME

[@spartan0738]

great catch! to bad that guy ruined it, great video, bad audio lol :)

[@mellisa212]

Was the guy drunk?

[@GTRailroadVideos]

@CoastStarlight11 I seriously doubt he'd call the cops, more like I'd call them on him for harassing me! LOL! And yes he was a total freakin idiot!

[@GTRailroadVideos]

@DaftStrings I think THIS guy was a little bit of everything you said! lol. He was wacked!

[@GTRailroadVideos]

@pengapop12 Yea he needed to get away from me!!!

[@GTRailroadVideos]

@steffens69 Yea no doubt, and this guy wouldn't shut up!

[@jasandros]

Some folks are just nosy and talkative but they see you recording and then proceed to intersperse profanity laced language (probably unknowingly) as they converse.

[@GTRailroadVideos]

That guy was a 100% bonafide idiot. Had no idea what he was talking about. Only thing he did was mess up my video with his idiocracy.

[@GTRailroadVideos]

@kenjr29mfl This idiot went out of his way to walk over to me. He walked across the crossing a good 150 feet from me, then from there, says am I bothering you...then comes over to me, then didn't shut up!! LOL!

[@Yzerfan55]

Awsome video!

[@GTRailroadVideos]

@Buffalotrains93 Thanks Ryan! Yea he was an idiot for sure.

[@airRail76]

To bad the Horse didnt hit 'em ;) just kidding! I hate that tho- and it always seems to be when you got that perfect shot too! Well hopefully you won't ever see him again...Whoops- he did say he's out there everyday.... Cool catch on the 6586 too!

[@GTRailroadVideos]

@CoastStarlight11 LOL! That's skill my friend! Nah just SUPER lucky!!!

[@GTRailroadVideos]

@xXDJIndeedXx Thanks my friend! Yea that guy was a moron, idiot, crack head, all rolled into 1. LOL!
