Welcome to my channel! As you can probably tell, I like trains. While my favorite places to catch trains are along the former B&O Old Main Line (hence my channel name), you will notice from my created playlists that I railfan in many different areas, primarily in Maryland, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania. I even occasionally plane spot, mainly in the Baltimore region. My videos are intended to inform and entertain viewers about trains, as well as railroad history itself. Be sure to like and subscribe for more content!!!

I don't watch any shorts on any platform; but when I saw the thumbnail on this I had a feeling who it was. I was standing on the corner of the station closest to you, and was wondering who'd been standin' over there. You got a solid angle, too.
Nice catch
Appreciate the comment!
Your welcome
Awesome! Foreign power leaders are cool on Norfolk Southern
@@TheMetGuy Thanks for watching!
Great catch! Fresh rebuilds are neat

SD40-2s are cool locomotives

Some of the pictures would make good desktop wallpapers.
@LetsGoRailfanning thank you! One day I may consider making a calendar or something
Sounds like a good idea!
Awesome catch! Got to love the EMDs!
Thanks as always!
Great catch! Shame that there’s no foreign power
Thanks- yeah for sure. Would've looked a lot cooler
Awesome! Quite a short train
Yeah it was. Short and sweet!
It’s definitely cool to see GEVOless trains

I’ve seen BN hoppers on manifests before, definitely neat to see
I saw a few today!
@@TheOldMainGuyThat’s cool
This was a neat train to see
In about a week you'll see that I caught it going the other way too

Love the Union Pacific locomotives!
Me too! Glad I've seen a handful of them

Awesome catch!
Thanks for watching!
I caught an I115 pulling into North Baltimore, OH this morning, with a similar GEVO/YN2 AC44 consist. I also caught a B769-06, going east led by another YN2. I'm sure you are familiar with that symbol
Interesting! I had no clue about B769, but that's a good leader
Nice catch.

Those are some neat old signals

These are great catches! I need to catch a grain train again.
Okay. When was the last time you caught a grain train?
That would be cool! Hope you catch another grain train
@@ElliottWolcott August last year, when I caught a G244 on the New Castle Sub. I did see an empty NS grain stopped by Northwood, OH 2 weeks ago. I have no pictures, as I was waiting to see if it would get on the move.

@@TheMetGuy You ever caught a grain train before?
