Thanks for watching and that's the best nickname I've seen for that locomotive so far.

@@IsaiahVerseRailfanning haha yes I’ve heard most people refer to it as the lions mane

Thank you kindly for watching, as well as responding. As far as good places to railfan nearby, I'd vote for going a little north to Marion, OH (532 W Center St, Marion, OH 43302) where there are 3 relatively busy railroads that cross in an H-pattern. In fact, this is one of the railroads that goes through there. On this day, at this crossing, I just happen to have seen the train out of the corner of my eye while driving and the timing as too good to pass up 🙂

@@IsaiahVerseRailfanning Went to Marion years ago. What spots closer to Columbus on the NS are good to railfan at?

@@davidcoleman958 in Columbus itself? I'd say 810 E Cooke Rd, Columbus, OH 43214 especially since the grade crossing has brand new crossing gate signals. There isn't much traffic on that particular part of the street and there'll probably be more railfans posted up there as well. Same NS line but it's the busiest one in Columbus.

@IsaiahVerseRailfanning excellent information thanks

@@davidcoleman958 you got it, fellow railfan. When you do get some footage there, please share it with me as well.

@@davidcoleman958 thanks for watching. The NS line through Columbus is decent (eh). The National Gateway project and Heartland Corridor project, when CSX and NS built intermodal stations in Ohio (N. Baltimore [CSX] and just south of Columbus [NS] to relieve some of the freight traffic from New York to/from Chicago and send some of that traffic to the Chesapeake Bay area, brought more freight trains along that NS route. It's definitely not on the level of the NS line through Toledo, Cleveland, Pittsburgh or the CSX line through Fostoria, Cleveland, Buffalo, etc. though. Once I saw those lines, the BNSF Transcon, the UP Overland Route, etc. the NS line here just doesn't look as....nice. The NS line here is like the prettiest girl in the small town one grew up in who pales in comparison once the person ventured out and saw more.

@IsaiahVerseRailfanning awesome analysis! Really good insight.

Happy New Year to you as well @@hakeemsd70m . This is just the top of the iceberg as NS started painting all kinds of heritage locomotives....then CSX started doing it as well (I'm looking to catch the Chessie System heritage locomotive in particular). Fostoria has the busiest CSX line, so you may catch some while railfanning there. NS through Toledo, Sandusky, Cleveland has the busiest NS line so you may catch some while railfanning there as well.

​@@IsaiahVerseRailfanningThank you. Yes, you're right man. They've got a ton, and there's so many NS units that I've yet to catch. I'd love to catch a UP heritage unit someday as well. You too? Cool. The Chessie unit is my personal favorite of the new CSX fleet too. I hope I can get up to Northwest Ohio sometime this year to catch some action. I definitely appreciate the recommended rail lines.

@@hakeemsd70m thanks for watching. That was one of two days that I've ever caught three train meets in the same day. As for Bellevue its a cute notch in the belt....but I only with there because it was on the way to/from Port Clinton - Sandusky area. If you really want a nice railfan spot in that area I'm definitely saying Fostoria is top tier. The main railroad in Bellevue (NS NPR) also goes through Fostoria and it's not even the busiest railroad there.

@IsaiahVerseRailfanning anytime brother, and thanks for the response. I understand you, just passing through. I've lived in Ohio for most of my life and still can't believe I haven't been up Northwest yet. But I'm going to take your word for it, I gotta check out Fostoria. Thanks for the tip.

@@hakeemsd70m oh, you absolutely HAVE to see it. Gary, Indiana is probably my favorite railfan spot overall so far, but Fostoria is probably 2nd. It's by far the best railfan spot in Ohio in my opinion. The city is the size of Worthington and it has 3 railroads going through it maps.app.goo.gl/jAGPaB6gxq1VniTPA

@@nickthetrainman thanks for watching, as well as for the feedback.

@@LocalCharlotteTrainSpotter I'm a lil jealous then because catching an NS was what I originally went there for. Oh well. That line also goes through Greensboro Atlanta and Tuscaloosa, so I'll film some there perhaps.

​@@IsaiahVerseRailfanningDo you usually go there to go trainspotting? If so, what is the weekly schedule of you seeing most trains going there? I had the idea with my dad and myself.

@@LocalCharlotteTrainSpotter I actually live in Ohio, so I may only have 4 railfan videos in North Carolina total (Benson 2014 +/-, Greensboro 2017, this one, and the psgr. train around the corner along N. Tryon St. shortly afterwards). For what it's worth, I do at least have the Amtrak "NCByTrain" schedules along that line: www.ncbytrain.org/schedules/Pages/piedmont.aspx www.ncbytrain.org/schedules/Pages/carolinian.aspx

@@hakeemsd70m thanks for watching. That lady is actually my mother/best friend. This was a lil road trip that we were both wanting to pull off sometime in life and we were fortunate enough to pull it off 🙏🏿

Much appreciated x 2 and, remembering Bob Costas mentioning the BNSF trains blowing their horns on a busy line near the stadium during the 2000 ALCS, I'm going to check out some of your videos as well.

Thank you kindly for watching.

@@nickthetrainman thank you kindly for watching, fellow railfan 🙂

They went on a quick grocery run 🙂

Thanks for watching@@lauraswink578 With 33 grade crossings within a 4 mile span, it's definitely a nice and unique sight to see.

@@ElliottWolcott Thank you kindly. To finally catch a train here was poetic justice indeed.

@@IsaiahVerseRailfanning No problem and I agree with you on that one.

@@RoyalKingOfTheRails Thanks for watching. I'm SOOOO surprised I didn't record footage here sooner, as nice of a location as this is. I'm just thankful that the proverbial stars lined up perfectly this day for me to be prepared and not even have to wait too long.

@@IsaiahVerseRailfanning You’re welcome, and yeah you definitely got lucky then if you weren’t there very long!

Thanks for watching. As I'm looking directly at the intermodal going across the overpass, Ohio in to the left of the road and Indiana is to the right. For what it's worth though, as decent as this trip was, this isn't my best video at this location. I'd wholeheartedly say that it was this one: ua-cam.com/video/kvqZ8gqULzI/v-deo.htmlsi=xlpNftAWqs4Qe-Pt

Thanks for watching. Yes, this is definitely a nice and peculiar place for railfanning. Plus, with Cleveland having two other lines that are even busier, you'll have plenty of options nearby as well.

Thanks for taking the time to check out the video, as well as the insight. If you live near these tracks then I'm admittedly jealous as a railfan

@@IsaiahVerseRailfanning you will see more content from the area on my birthday Saturday September 7

Thanks for taking the time to watch. I'll have to look up the bell as well. This is the first time seeing a comparison.

Definitely thanks for watching@@transittown7891 . I was fortunate to be at a good place at a good time (and Google maps is good to me). It's amazing how there are railfans all over the world.

Gracias por mirar, querida. Esto fue cuando viajaba con mi madre por Chicago, Illinois y de hecho publiqué este video antes pero noté un error que es absolutamente necesario corregir.

Much appreciated, fellow railfan. Hmmm. How many states? I think I've railfanned in 19+/- states and then Toronto, ON, CAN and a small town in Colombia, South America so far.

@@IsaiahVerseRailfanning nice 👍

Thanks for watching. Yeah, this adventure is definitely one for the archives.

ua-cam.com/video/7SCCVEg-e2k/v-deo.htmlsi=O_SwKGKZtBC4UZmQ a view from the other side may give a better perspective as to why the crossing gates are placed where they are, as well as what it looks like when the train is actually on the bridge.

Much thanks for checking out a few of my videos. Yeah, this particular video was a necessary public service announcement and I still have to move more of my songs to my music page. The timing of the train to go along with the video was perfect though.

Much appreciated. It's nice to see so many railfans worldwide.

Stay tuned. I've come across some KCS-led trains before on both the CSX and NS lines. They're rare but possible.

@@IsaiahVerseRailfanning Ok.

Thank you kindly. Please send me the link when you post your catch from yesterday as well.

You've already made great history in the time on this earth sir. Lol

From this side, the right side is Ohio and the left side is Indiana. I returned years later and recorded a much better video (train meet) from the other side as well.

Ohhhhhhhh. Do you not like the double stacks or do you just like the variety, so it won't get too redundant?

@@IsaiahVerseRailfanning the variety it’s rare to see a true piggyback train anymore! Glad you caught this one!

Great catch

@@BNSFrailfan94 much appreciated. This was back in Nov. 2019 while going on a railfan tour and I had to make a correction to the original video. I'm definitely stopping in Mazon anytime I'm close to it though.

You're very welcome man, I also subscribed to u

Gracias amablemente por verlo. Este es definitivamente mi hobby desde que tenía 5 años. Por supuesto, si quieres, cuando vengas aquí, con mucho gusto te mostraré algunos de mis lugares favoritos para los fanáticos de los ferrocarriles.

Hmph. Now that you mention it, you're right. Perfect scenery on a sunny birthday road trip.

Good point. It DEFINITELY has inspired my HO scale layout.

They're functioning normally. With the latter gates coming down after the initial gates come down, one is able to cross that track in the background instead of getting caught under the bridge.

Thanks for watching, as well as the feedback. Yeah, I saw this crossing a year or two beforehand and I knew I had to film a video there. Fortunately, I was able to be ready since I could hear the horn when it crossed Bailey Rd.

Wow! I haven't even heard of the book before my mother challenged me to write this particular book in the form of lyrics, since I've done so with other books beforehand. It's an honor to have explored, what I've heard more and more, what is a classic book.

I don't understand what you're saying. Please clarify

Thanks for watching and responding. It was a decent first attempt at this grade crossing. The ultimate came a few years later though. ua-cam.com/video/kvqZ8gqULzI/v-deo.htmlsi=yxzjNOh1SVZi4gyH

Actually this is a GE E-bell.. You can tell because instead of the classing 4 prongs at the bottom of the e-bell that WCH has, the GE ones only have 2

@@whammy3323 wait, did WCH copy GE?!

@@davidpedersen1757No, other way around

@@TheRailfan360 ah, okay! Those pesky copycats...

Heyyyyyyyyy, how have you been? Thanks for watching, by the way.

@@IsaiahVerseRailfanning Good thanks mate! And I'm glad you're still giving us these train-treats. All the best for 2024.👍

Hey, thanks for watching as well as commenting. Goshen is definitely a nice place for railfanning. Next time though, I'm also going to Elkhart as well.

Thanks for taking the time to watch it and congratulations on your route. For what it's worth, as you may already know, this same street also crosses the NS Nickel Plate Road a little further south in Edgerton as well.

Que espectáculo hermoso me gusta todo muy especial❤

Mis disculpas por la demora@@DeyanethSandovalvega . Solo noto tu mensaje debido a su ubicación (subtítulo del subtítulo). Ahora que lo veo, me doy cuenta de que este viaje fue peculiar. Dije al principio que me reí un poco porque me imaginaba... "!¿¿¿la mujer a la que le abrí mi corazón me dejó por otro hombre y mi trabajo me dejó ir cinco días antes de Navidad y supuestamente estoy conduciendo en medio de la nada SÓLO para ver algunos trenes (y no ir allí a acabar con mi vida)???! Sí, eso es exactamente lo que estoy haciendo 🙂". La única otra vez que fui a este lugar y grabé trenes fue cuando la invité y desde que se fue quería reemplazar cada recuerdo que tenía de ella con un recuerdo mejor, incluso si lo hacía solo. Por eso me sentí muy bendecida por haber podido coincidir en el momento perfecto para poder captar dos trenes en un solo vídeo. No tendré que volver nunca más a este lugar. La misión está cumplida.

Oops! Thanks for catching that grammatical error.

....all the more reason why I had to tag this spot for a railfan video someday 🙂. I'm guessing that the tracks were there first, before the neighborhood around it. I certainly do feel for the people being awakened by a horn at 3am. There needs to be a no-horn zone, like they have along the CSX line in Covington, KY.

Heh heh heh. Thanks for checking this one out as well. I'd guess that this train was going 55+/-. I wish I could've caught more trains along the Chicago Line, but time was of the essence. I'll perhaps go through there again (and Elkhart too).

That is corrrrrect!! Good job, railfan.
