CSX's "Reversed" YN2 Scheme
We all know about CSX's "Bright Future" scheme, otherwise known as YN2. Introduced in 1990, the scheme was widespread on locomotives for 12 years, and remained relatively consistent. However, when it was in its early years, the early attempts on yard switchers was a humble start, and did pose 2 unique anomalies amongst CSX's "Bright Future" fleet.
At the time of recording this, i've been working on scripts for some other short-mini docs or whatever, so hopefully i can get those out between now and mid February, but i wont promise release dates, so stay tuned. Production might be slow given college and such, from work to just living life, so expect some videos being released whenever. Also i broke my phone's screen before i finished editing this...

Ever since its reveal in June of this year, Norfolk Southern 4822 (a locomotive painted to "commemorate" its workers) has been shrouded in nothing but controversy in the railfanning community?

A quick commentary video I cooked up after coming home from Toronto. Seeing as MrBeast, someone who is known nowadays for controversy has made another video with a promo to an upcoming series to be released on streaming services in the near future. One talking point for railfans (at least locally) is the usage of a rare locomotive (a Canadian ALCO or MLW), and one of the very few still operatin...

More recently, i've been testing some lighting for sunsets/sunrises, and decided to make a mini-montage of some trains going along the only route i'll likely use for Trainz videos.

The Tokyo Rose Subway Car (HALLOWEEN SPECIAL)
Переглядів 10 тис.2 місяці тому
The Toronto Transit Comission has a rather busy subway system within the heart of Toronto, and has seen many types of railcars over the years. One of them serviced a rather nice job that was found in one of 2 subway networks in the continent. Its uncanny appearance and name gave it a presence that no other subway cars on the TTC had, and this is the story of the "Tokyo Rose". I've been a fan of...

    In a round about way you from a Employee point of view you are basically describing all the Class 1 railroads. CSX or CP/KCS might be a little better but they have their issues too. It’s now all about the shareholders. And what happened in E Palestine with an axle/wheel failure could have happened to any of the Class 1 railroads. Such a tragedy and we must be better!

    Fire Depts in North America are now using steel drums to place burning Li-ION batteries into. Therefore, I believe the steel containers are being used in case the batteries catch fire. The containers will prevent the entire loss of the locomotive.
