Railfanning With AJ
Приєднався 2 сер 2014
Welcome to my channel! I’m a railfan from the NYC area, what you’ll see is all kinds of Railroads, Ranging from Commuter to Freights! The main 2 freights you’ll see on this channel are CSX & Providence & Worcester. Since I live close to the CSX Fremont Secondary, that’s where CSX & P&W brings in the freights, and occasionally the NYAR (New York & Atlantic Railway) would use the line too. And the main Commuter Railroad you’ll see is the Long Island Railroad since I live next to the LIRR. And yes sometimes I do travel to other states so you won’t see the same trains. Hopefully you enjoy my channel and hit that subscribe button while your at it! Thanks For Watching!

CSX: RARE 4 engines leads Y102 & dumping the train on the main!
Filmed on 5/12/24
I don’t usually upload or film Y102 when they dump the train because I don’t get to see the entire train, but with 4 engines on the lead I had to make an exception. I didn’t film the air getting released and the train actually being dropped off, but you can imagine what it sounded like. Y102 eventually went lite to Fresh Pond.
Y102: Oak Point Yard to Fresh Pond Yard.
Leading: YN2 GE CW44AC 465
Trailing: EMD/Progress Rail SD40E3 1712 (Ex-SCL SD40-2 8130, SDB 8130, CSX 8130)

Filmed on 8/26/24 I decided to upload H55 as a separate video for those who mainly want to see the freight train and not so much the commuter trains.

Filmed on 9/7/22 My first time ever seeing those Herzog Ballast Cars. I thought it was pretty cool. Also once again I’m not sure why they stopped, the switch was a-lined with the siding track that they were on, they stood there for roughly 20 minutes. I didn’t really hear anything on the scanner so I wasn’t sure what was happening. If u were counting the cars add about 4-5 cars since the ending...

Filmed on 8/26/24 Ever since NJT made the announcement that throughout the entire week from August 26th to September 2nd all modes of transportation would be free, you know I have to take that opportunity to visit NJ again. The first stop being Ho-Ho-Kus. Absolutely fantastic morning railfanning. Unlike last tike during my trip to Ridgewood, I finally saw more classic EMDs and even Norfolk Sout...
CSX: 4/28 Full day with the 8854 on the CSX Fremont Secondary with both in/outbound trains!
Переглядів 171Місяць тому
Filmed on 4/28/24 Caught both trains on the Fremont Secondary. Since Y102 came in with a SD40-2, I immediately had to catch the inbound since the 8854 was leading it. The outbound the 8854 was trailing obviously, but that didn’t stop me from getting the 8854 for a second time. SD40-2s are uncommon on this line. Always a treat when Y102 comes in with a SD40-2.

But what I haven’t done or at all is railfan the LIRR but out on Long Island. I feel like I’ve been neglecting my home rail lately and I decided to venture out to London Island specifically East Williston because I was in a mood to film some diesel action. Pretty goo...

Переглядів 242Місяць тому
Filmed on 7/19/24 The freight action was pretty good for the most part. After the first 2 freights had passed, it was dead for almost 2 hours, but then it started to pick up a bit. Plus after receiving word that the 4822 was on 18N, I couldn’t let that opportunity slip away and I decided to wait for it. Unfortunately it was just a lite move which is rare on its own, but I not disappointed whats...

It was a great time railfanning, got to see a good amount of freights plus a NS heritage engine. Also met up with @GreenbeanProductions. We saw a couple of special ALP45-DPs, but the surprise was a double header on 571...
CSX: Y102 with 1712 delivering parts for wind turbines to Fresh Pond Yard!
Переглядів 3322 місяці тому
5/23/24 Unfortunately with the overgrown vegetation, I couldn’t really get a picture perfect view of the train, which is why I hold the camera facing forward instead of an angle. Regardless at least you can still see the train clearly. At the very end of the train, you’ll see these giant tubes. Which is for a wind turbine.

Filmed on 6/28/24 I went out to Ridgewood, NJ to catch some classic EMD power leading some trains, but unfortunately I only caught 3 GP40s. The rest were either the Alstom/EMD PL42ACs or those stupid ugly ALP45-DPs built by Bombardier & Alstom. It was bittersweet because at least the PL42s are equipped with a EMD 16-710 prime mover so they sound good arriving and departing. I did also catch the...

Ive gots to take a trip to that area Long Island cityi haven't been there but other then that nice Video
I know that those green containers carry garbage. Are there any complaints from nearby buildings about the smell? That building building behind the train looks as if the windows don't open.
There are no complaints from what I know and that building behind the train has been completed about a month ago or so.
Most modern commercial building windows are not allowed to open. It affected the effectiveness of the HVAC system.
I miss Conrail 😔💔
Hey AJ, I know it’s been a while but I’ve been thinking on maybe catching Y-102 on Saturday, or maybe the NYAR coming to set something on Sunday. Any tips?
Sometimes on Sunday it’s a hit or miss, but you should be able to get 102 on Saturday
That was a awesome video great work
Fantatic Fantatic my friends 😊
Going to oak point or Selkirk??
Oak point but the cars will eventually ended up in Selkirk
NYA is a serious hauler now with some lengthy freight trains. I recall around 2000 an NYA freight returning west through Jamaica with only 2 freight cars plus 2 diesels.
Cool catch
Excellent video my friends 😊awesome 😮
Amazing footage!
Excellent video my friends awesome 😮and Greeting 🙋🏻♂️
I like the part with the train in it! You digaroonski?
Welcome to my town! I live 4 blocks from here directly next to the tracks
Appreciate the welcome! I’ve seen some of your videos and I think you literally live right next to the tracks?
Yes I’m trackside.
If it's a DM30 why aren't they running it on the third rail rather than risking that thing failing off the engine
You should go to that spot more often and try to get more videos with CSX over LIRR. Not everyone does that these days.
What you saw was CSX 940, the Crayola unit. It used to be a Heritage Unit but it got repainted almost a year ago so it no longer has that paint.
Awesome catches in this video bro and loving the new intro! 🫵🏼😎💯🚂🇺🇸
Thanks Bro! Appreciate the feedback!
I thought the gauntlet track was the coolest thing at the time....seeing a track within a track. Makes perfect sense the freights get their own track since they're so much heavier than the commuter trains.
Exactly! Plus the freights can go the track limit without worrying about them hitting the sides of the platform.
Congratulations AJ on catching your first heritage unit!! I caught the Conrail HU (NS8098) here in Reading a few times. Way back in the late 90s, I remember traveling to Roselle Park from Brooklyn via subway and NJ Transit. Back then, there were a ton of engines still bearing Conrail livery since the merger was still fresh. Good vibes!!
Thanks a lot! The 8098 is definitely an awesome heritage, great you were able to catch it in Reading! I travel from Queens via the subway and of course NJT! Must’ve been awesome seeing them Conrail engines ruling the lines!
@@ajsrailfanning Yes, I took pictures with a disposable camera. Unfortunately, those pics got misplaced in between the relocation process. I so wish I had a smartphone back then.
Damn man, how unfortunate
Muy buen video Excelente estimado amigo Like 👍🏻 un saludo 🙋🏻♂️
I like the part with the train in it! You digaroonski?
I wanna catch the PW FPCH departing fresh pond any times or days of the week you recommend?
I recommend going either Wednesdays or Fridays around 5:30ish PM. But keep in mind they sometimes don’t leave Fresh Pond until like 8ish. They leave anywhere from 6-8:30 PM.

Nice AJ!
Thanks!
Gran video Excelente un saludo 👋🏻 😊
Hey! It’s been a while lol
Yep
Magnificent catches of the train coming by and pass at the railroad crossing, I like it 5 stars. Hearing that amazing diesel sound and cars pass is absolutely crazy. Thumbs up. Keep up the perfect work, my friend, i just liked and subscribed your channel, Greetings from Portugal to the USA.
Thanks a lot! But it’s not a railroad crossing. There are no crossings on the CSX Fremont Secondary. Appreciate the kind words!
@@ajsrailfanning no problem.
@@ajsrailfanning the US are just amazing.
Those went to NYNJ rail in Bayridge!
I saw that!
Awesome catch bro! 👊🏼😎🚂💯 I never knew those were for wind turbines. Also neat boxcars in the mix!
Thanks bro!
I don't get why they don't use electric mode until the end of the third rail
368 axles if my high school math is correct including the locomotives
Correct
Fantatic my friends excellent video awesome capture Greeting 👋🏻
Very nice catch AJ!! Nice to see some covered hoppers in the consist. P&W must be making a nice penny hauling the rock trains.
Thanks! Yeah rock is a huge commodity for Queens & Long Island, sometimes they bring in those covered hoppers, but sometimes they don’t.
SOLID crew bro! 👊🏼😎💪🚂💯
Fr Bro!

Excellent video my friends awesome like 👍🏻 and Greetings 😊
That would make a perfect for a 'Light Rail' line.

It’s a line to nowhere. when sunnyside was a big freight yard it was an alternative route to send freight trains to eastern LI while avoiding the mainline to Jamaica. But the yard is long gone and the line is a needless left over that had its western connection severed
Very nice video of the train action in Long Island City. This definitely proves that New York City is top-heavy with passenger/commuter operations in the rail industry Amtrak, LIRR, Subway, NJ Transit & Metro-North)
Thanks a lot! Not to mention the freight trains that NYC has! CSX, P&W, NYCs own NYAR & NYNJ! NYC as u said is top-heavy. Loads of rail action!
Do they still come at 5 am?
Anywhere from 5-7AM
Why did you post this 2 months after you filmed it?
Does it matter when I post it?
@@ajsrailfanning not really lol
Excellent video my friends awesome fantatic like Greeting 😊
Location ??
I missed the Amtrak maple leaf so I’m stuck until 3 am in Niagara falls 😅
Jesus, that’s crazy!
Nice! I would come and railfan but I’m in Toronto rn
Thanks!
They just hid the camera

1:56, how does that man not care that he just saw such a rare consist lol
Ik right
Loved the yellow and blue PC MTA unit. Remember when I first saw it on the ex NH FL-9s
