Lifetime Train Boy
Приєднався 30 бер 2012
Welcome to the official channel of Lifetime Train Boy! I used to engage in online railfanning during 2022, but for the most part, I’ve been rail-fanning in person since I was a little kid. I didn’t actually begin filming trains until I was 14.
Besides my current content, I also have an archive of older train videos from when I first started filming trains. Finally, I take pride in showing footage of subjects that are not necessarily railroad related.

BNSF 6903 West under Lexington Avenue, Saint Paul May 25, 2023
About 13 minutes after the rear-end helpers of BNSF 3891 West passed (ua-cam.com/video/F5GjquLFrgk/v-deo.html), BNSF 6903 West arrived with more intermodal traffic. This shot also drives home an important aspect of railfanning: when watching a train with multiple locomotives on the head end, it is much easier to tell:
1) Which locomotives are contributing to the pulling
2) Which ones are online but along for the ride
3) Which ones are not online (case in point, the second unit in this consist)
Locomotives shown:
1) BNSF GE ES44C4 No. 6903 (part of the 6900-7054 group, which were built between January and July 2012)
2) BNSF GE C44-9W No. 4926 (built in October 1998)
3) BNSF EMD SD70ACE (did not catch the road number)

Hey there everyone! Lifetime Train Boy here and in this video, we see an extremely rare element of railroading that was once very common in the not-too-distant 2000's.

Hey there everyone! Lifetime Train Boy here again and I hope that this video shows just how any train, regardless of size and length, can sneak up on you if you're not monitoring your surroundings carefully. On the afternoon of May 17, 2023, I had just gotten off the Metro Transit Route 3A bus and walked straight over to the Chatsworth Street Bridge per my little railfan tradition I had develop...

While waiting, I walked up the hill in the northeast quad...

Hey there everyone! Lifetime Train Boy here and today we are looking at footage of a rather unusual consist I captured on the bright sunny morning of May 15, 2023. I consider this westbound BNSF freight train's power lashup to be odd because: 1) The Kansas City Southern GE ES44AC No. 4769 trailing second is indicative of the CPKC merger that had just taken place the month before. Before the CPK...

Sorry about the shakiness. I was tempted to try to find a better spot to stand and view the action.
I'd like to take a minute and give a little history on the two locomotives of interest in this video. CSX GE AC6000CW No. 600 was one of three AC6000CW's built for CSX in December 1995 and came equipped with a 6,250 horsepower 16-cylinder 7HDL engines manufactured by GE in conjunction with Deutz-MWM of Germany. Due to problems encountered with the engine, and because they were pre-production models, CSX repowered these three locomotives with 4,400 horsepower prime movers. The most recent footage of CSX 600 I could find was taken in 2018. Any info on CSX 600's current status would be much appreciated. NS EMD SD70 No. 2510 was originally built in November 1993 and was rebuilt in January 2019 as EMD SD70ACC No. 1808. No. 1808 is still in service as of today.
By footage, I meant to say video
I want to see one of those one day
Cool
I'm excited to see 300 in Vancouver Washington when it gets here! Im personally a massive fan of the ALC42 even though I have not seen one yet buy i will miss the P42DC locos
