Train Pacing, A Locomotive You've Never Seen, & the Perfect Meet.

#Trains #Railroads (10/9/23)
Man, y'all, I honestly had a difficult time selecting a thumbnail; I needed to balance not making an overloaded thumbnail, but at the same time...this day had so many wonderful finds and catches. A trip up to Lula with the main man ‪@ThatModelGuyGA‬ proved to hold a lot more in store than any of us could have expected, and although there were some hiccups throughout the day, we learned and saw a lot and are in eager expectation for the next journey. I hope you guys enjoy.

And as always, God bless. I'll see you soon, out on the High Iron.

1000 is a beaut of a loco. And oml that horn!

[@Therailfan513]

The Minecraft music goes hard

[@SuperOwensTrainsYT]

7:07 check out Ayer,Shirley or East Deerfield Massachusetts if you want to see some old GE power such as C40-8’s C40-8W’s and B40-8’s

[@LocoPro]

Man, I want to visit there one day for sure.

[@SuperOwensTrainsYT]

@@LocoPro yeah

[@jenniferteffner9907]

I remember seeing that Jonson switcher my first time up to Baldwin parked next to UP 6367 back in 2021, so I guess that was my first ALCO...

[@LocoPro]

Congratulations. :)

[@DV_Graph1cs]

Yeah...this right here...this is peak. Y'all cooked. Lowkey might be my favorite video you've put out thus far. Definitely my favorite sequence ever with that chase of 8120 and the minecraft music in the background. Too good man, too good.

[@LocoPro]

Just imagine the jingle bells with an RS5T.

[@TrainMedia00]

13:47 I love this shot right there. If my future KZbin grows I'll be purchasing items for my own KZbin videos to get some shoots like this one.

[@parkerKACE]

my shop is 1 minute from the train depot and I always work on my boats and the rush up to the bridge if I hear one of those glorious horns. Not long ago there was an awesome meet right at the bridge

[@joellawrence1132]

Nice catches! That rolling meet at the end couldn’t have been better. Also at 19:45 50G does terminate at Baldwin, the reason he went past is because they run around the train on that portion of double track between there and Mt. Airy, that way they can back the train into the grain facility.

[@LocoPro]

Clutching up once again with the clarifications. Appreciate it. :)

[@callumnichols7652]

I've done some research, and 'I'm pretty sure that the alco locomotive was JRWX S2 #137. that/it was the closest that I could get.

[@LocoPro]

Something like that. Online resources are very limited on this unit.

[@callumnichols7652]

@@LocoPro true. Even I struggled trying to figure out what it was.

[@nebraskarailfanner2511]

Amazing catches! I have never seen such pace dedication lol and a more perfect meet!

[@RailPreserver2K]

I only found your channel I think a week ago but I'm already loving it. I'm mostly rail fan around csx's Abbeville subdivision since its closest to me, I don't know if you've filmed anything there or not but there's a lot of small towns that have a lot of good spots to watch the trains as well as film them

[@LocoPro]

Glad you enjoy the channel. I have indeed filmed the Abbeville only twice, but I do intend on going back at some point.

[@RailPreserver2K]

@@LocoPro let me know when you do :)

[@UNIONPACIFIC_1982]

Not the cars getting 1 seconds to cross the tracks before 15G

[@codyrapp7253]

Nice praise the Lord!

[@zostrelling_]

the glare must have been painful

[@LocoPro]

Painful to see in editing. 😭

[@zostrelling_]

@@LocoPro one time I got a glare so bad you legit couldn't see the train💀 IT WAS AN ACE LEADER AHHHHHHH

[@multicolorfilms]

Solid as usual man! One thing I’d suggest, check your camcorder’s audio settings. It sounds like the mic is picking almost no low end, and too much high end. I have a feeling that can be adjusted. Happy Holidays

[@LocoPro]

What’s up, broski? Thanks for enjoying and the solid advice. Can you clarify what you mean by low and high end audio?

[@multicolorfilms]

@@LocoPro The low end I mean would be like the bass. The low rumble from the locomotives or the sound of the car you're in. To clarify, elevator music sounds the way it is because it has no low end, or bass.

[@TrainsandTrucksProductions]

You cooked this video! Great work.

[@bub-e2592]

All I see as BNSF foreign power are GEVOs and Dash 9s... With the Extremely rare EMD, or even An AC44C4M, either way, it's just A cesspool of GE.

[@LocoPro]

You and me both. I take the opportunity to see a MAC or ACe when it presents itself.

[@bub-e2592]

I saw 2 ACes from BNSF and A non-moving executive MAC #9712, all I saw from BNSF that was made by EMD. Both of those are on the border of God Catches and just Great Foreign power.@@LocoPro

[@LocoPro]

Sheesh, I see that type of power regularly on the coal trains through Atlanta. 😂

[@bub-e2592]

Up through The Chicago line different story, EMDs FROM BNSF are like 1 in maybe 90 if I'm generous. You guys are lucky... That's why when I get the money go railfan on their tracks, because I keep seeing the same power from them as foreign power.@@LocoPro

[@vuurvrproductions4656]

man i wish i could pace trains

[@protosheep]

bro got the perfect meet 😭

[@Arg312]

Nice!

[@ThatModelGuyGA]

tripods fault unless u want an out of frame video 🙈

[@LocoPro]

Yeah, in all seriousness (and I'll mention this in a later video), the tripod definitely made things difficult, and you definitely improved for the next trip. Hope there's no hard feelings, because I know you and Gabe finna come after my neck at some point. 😂😂

[@CSX911fan]

Amazing video!

[@kodachromerailroadvideos6571]

Those bastards got rid of 8120's RS5T!!!!!

[@LocoPro]

Bro, this would have been so goated with an RS5T.

[@kodachromerailroadvideos6571]

@@LocoPro It's RS5T was ex N&W too. I didn't know they replaced it with a wimpy ass K5LA. Massive downgrade in my opinion

[@mdnsubdiv]

What do you think is better; finding a dash 9 long hood forward on a local or an SD70MAC as a trailing unit on some sort of manifest train

[@LocoPro]

Absolutely a MAC is the better catch. ;)

[@retiredmusiceducator3612]

in a King James 1611 bible, the scripture you use actually says: "Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; "

[@LocoPro]

Glad we got another man of the Word here. God bless you, sir. :)

[@spartanburgrailfanproducti6900]

What Camera do you Use

[@LocoPro]

Sup, I use a Canon G70.

[@spartanburgrailfanproducti6900]

Thank you
