Recently, I bought my first drone after years of debating and research. I settled on a DJI Mini 3 to get my feet wet, so to speak. Needless to say I love it. This shot alone, which allowed me to film an area of the yard not publicly accessible, made me want to delve further into the drone world. Look for more drone shots coming soon!

They have one locomotive that isn't native to the US: #5016 which was built in Australia.

Farewell roadrailers. We will never forget you and your service on the railways
Farewell roadrailers
Wow lot of nerds I guess!
Thanks for sharing. I had missed this show. Normally go every year
I'm sure you didn't have to race in to Antwerp as the west bound train was speeding along at maybe 5mph?
It's a figure of speech more or less. Although any time you're chasing a train with your kids, and you're trying to corral them back into the van and buckle everyone in, it does eat up some time.
Great footage! Do you guys in the U. S. need special permits for drone flights like that? Here in Germany you wouldn't be allowed to fly even close to tracks (or streets, or industries, etc.).
@SpringfieldAndWestern Thank you! So, at least for now, this can all be done without any permits and is completely legal. The FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) does not restrict drones over railroads. Now they do have a rule about not flying over people or vehicles, which is why I play it safe and keep a good distance away from the locomotive. I do fear rules changing in the coming years though, as I've seen many reckless and careless drone operators on social media. Most recently, someone even crash landed their drone on the UP 4014 steam excursion train. So long story short, this is all completely allowed and doesn't even require any special permits or permission... yet 😅
@@BeginCTC thanks for the quick reply! That's cool that it's that easy in the USA. A few years ago I wanted to get a drone myself but I never bought a serious one because why should I when I am basically not allowed to operate it anywhere it would be cool? 😅
@SpringfieldAndWestern I hear that sentiment quite a bit from some drone Facebook groups. I intend to enjoy every second of it here until the troublemakers ruin it for everyone and rules have to be tightened up. We only just recently had the concern of losing access to all DJI drones so you never know what changes are coming.
Awesome catch
@@TheNorthwestWind Thank you!
Very Cool!!!!
All that MOW work has definitely make for a smooth ride
How much of the line has Pioneer rehabilitated?
Enough for their crews to feel comfortable enough raise their running speed from 3mph to 5mph. This also has intermittently allowed the throttle of these locomotives to sometimes be pulled out to run 2.
Chester transportation center?
Love it! I read online from a railroader that Ford Renewed it's Triple Crown Service so it's here to stay (for now).
Thank you! And yes, the roadrailers aren't going anywhere any time soon. This is the 8th year in a row that they are rumored to be getting canceled. Usually just people believing the rumors or trying to get clicks on their videos by saying they're going away.
The railroad has come along way, it looks better everytime I see

Love santa fé railroad and old diesel locomotives❤❤❤
Cool catch! Another vintage Geep still out there making it happen!
Super wondeful locomotives❤
Never seen them going that fast. Pacing has a whole different meaning here.
Nice pace shot! I tell ya,this railroad has come along way since the beginning! I love the color scheme on their parient locomotive! Awesome....
Thanks! And yes, it has been amazing to watch this railroad progress over the years and rebuild
@@BeginCTC keep filming them if you cen 👍👍
Oh I plan to! I have a new DJI drone coming this week to really "elevate" the next video of them 🤣
@@BeginCTC 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 noice!!
Great catch!
Thanks!
Griff I really appreciate and enjoyed these catches, thanks. I am now a subscriber. I like this Penn Central 2.0 rr 😊
Thanks for your comment and for subscribing!
The Santa Maria Valley RailRoad bought a former santa fe GP20U #1322
That's awesome! Hopefully they'll be able to keep it for a while or find an exemption for the upcoming emissions law out there
2026 looks really nice in the ATSF colors!
It sure does! We're all hoping it stays this way for a while and doesn't get repainted into Patriot Rail colors, or replaced with newer motive power.
@@BeginCTC I hope it stays that way too!
The fact that went from a railroad that could have been abandoned at any time due to a massive derailment to something well-built and operable again is impressive
It sure is. They've come such a long way, they even won the "Shortline Railroad of the Yard" award from Railway Age in 2023.
I was going to say the same thing. I've seen videos of the ND&W in its former "glory" and this looks waaaay better
50 years. CONGRATULATIONS
Nice project! Seems to be in a similar early stage of the build - just like my own new layout. Looking forward to your result!
Thank you! Progress has been on hold while we move to a bigger house, but I'm itching to get back to work!
Well done!
Thank you!
What an interesting doubleheader! It's not every day you see a tank engine with a tender engine...
Nice video! I was the one in the light brown jacket chasing the train. It was chili, but you couldn't ask for a more beautiful day!
Thank you, and I couldn't agree more it was a great day!
I was riding this trip! You got some great shots! Awesome video!
Thank you! And great video from onboard. Love those shots
@@BeginCTC Thank you very much!
I love the little guy! He is one of my favourite trains!!!
Please, dump the text-to-speech and just talk to us.
Been narrating for months now but since you mentioned it I think I'll go back to using text to speech. It's honestly much easier than trying to get some quiet time in a house of 5 to do voice over.
@@BeginCTC You seem to be saying that, just to spite me, you'll make videos that I don't like. Oookay. I hope that works well for you. Makes no difference to me -- I'll just watch videos that I do like.
@beeble2003 You came here and tried to tell me how to make my content, on a year old video no less. Had you watched any of my other videos, you'd see the ones I narrate I do myself now. But you didn't, so why would I tailor my videos to someone who's just stopping by?
@@BeginCTC You could have just said "Yes, this is an old video. I narrate my videos now" and then I'd have gone watched some more. Instead, you've had the opposite effect. I won't bother you any more; I've set UA-cam to not recommend your videos to me.
@beeble2003 oh no. How will I ever recover without your precious views... Guess it's time to hang it up and abandon my channel because some rando with no uploads won't be watching my future uploads 😭
Nice capture!! I really need to get a proper recording of them.
Thanks man, me too lol. We tried to meet them in Monroeville and chase them to FW but they snuck up on us in Maples. Played catch up just barely in time to get this shot all the way back in town. They were moving today!
The fastest I've seen them move was through the countryside near Delphos, going about 25-30 MPH. I'm still trying to catch one of the sand trains but it's always too late by the time I hear of one coming through and it's typically on a school day. I'd also like to catch another CSX grain on the line, I only ever got one. Happy early Easter by the way!! Do you know why they stopped doing autorack trains? Or was that when NS still had trackage rights, I remember seeing one getting unloaded at their N Cole Street Lima yard.
@NWORails Maples detector clocked them at 32mph today which was impressive considering the size of their train. As far as operations go, I'm not very well versed on the CFE despite living in Fort Wayne for nearly a decade now. I used to railfan them more back when NS still ran through freight across the line, but around the time NS stopped I got my start with the RR and took a years long break for being a buff. The guys in the CFE FB group are a wealth of knowledge though. I'm sure one of them has the info
@@BeginCTC I wish that NS still had trackage rights, it'd give more of a reason to go out there. I personally never saw any, I wasn't around when they still were operating. I started watching trains in the area when I was 16 I believe, by then, they were gone. I would also love to catch the W&LE more often. I wish I had someone to give me heads up about all of the sand trains, grain trains, and the W&LE trains that are coming, I don't check the group soon enough.
When the diesel is leading, dose it provide the tractive effort ?
Yes the diesel provides power when it's leading, although if memory serves me right, 765 has been known to push during some stretches as well.
That is was…saluting the engineer 😊
I use to work for cfe. I'll tell yah a lot has changed for them in a year. That engineer may be adam Nini. Not only is he a engineer he is a former as well.
Shortline crews are the best. 💯
Nice video !
Nice !
thats cool
Ok, interesting video.
Looks like it was north of Goshen rather than south although that might have been it's destination.
Looks good. Keep us updated.
Thanks Paul! Keeping it going little by little each week. And my oldest son and I are a big fan of your layout as well!
That’s awesome. We need more young people in this hobby! Let your son know I appreciate him watching my posts!
