This page shows my variety of railroad videos from over the years. In the future, I hope to add my entire collection of VHS videos from when I filmed trains as a kid. I am a die hard railfan and have always been passionate about documenting trains on film. Feel free to comment on my videos at any time, I love the feedback! Enjoy the show!

Nice video.
0:13 The sound of the Metra train honking while Metra F40PH 108 appears and shows up.
Why is the engineer blasting the whistle on 486
Multiple grade crossings in town.
Oh I see and I know where 480,473 and 482 are they’re in the roundhouse museum shop having a snooze and the I know where 478 and 476 one is in the museum getting a 1472 15 year inspection and 476 is the same
Metra 124 Recently Used to be on UP Lines before it moves to MD Lines, Now today, Metra 124 just retired for engine problems and stored at RI Blue Island Yard.
1:33 BRO IS THE VIBE CHECK😂
What kind of horn does 8448 have? I think it has a K123A but it doesn't look like one
Best video ive ever watched from this year about trains
An Ex-Amtrak F40 #364 and Ex-GO Transit F59 #532 Leading As Doubleheader Westbound Metra Train (MD-W) Heading Towards Big Timber, and Soon To Be Extended To Rockford. Oh, Also Nice P5A Horn!
Me likes too

1:54 Shave And A Haircut Two Bits!!!!
Awesome, thanks! I hope Kato puts these out in N scale.
Awesome video, bud!!! I'm glad that the 504 is back in service
Thank you Andrew!
@dwkcamman611 you are very welcome Dave!!!
That thing took off.
Great video well done!
Thank you very much!
Epic K5LLA Horn!!
Oh ya!
Good catch, Metra 79, paired up with a wrapped coach, a bike car behind it, this is a rare consist.
That inspector in that town must really have an itch for the horn to be blown the correct way.
4628 was the one that hit the cement truck back in 2020 on Amtrak 5
I know that engineer
So do we.
Country living Hampshire Illinois supports Trump2024.
Good composition.
What horns do these have?
I was there
They forgot to turn 8569 Bell off
Awesome p3 horn
That unit has been rebuilt with an ALC42 nose
F40PH bell
Ex amtrak #458
And the horn from afar sounds like the one I heard a Franklin park railroad daze 2022
NICE NEW CAST K5LA HORN BLAST!
RAILROAD DAZE
Cursed MACH
That's an awesome sounding horn. I love the sounds of those new MACHs.
I'm this video's 100th like.
Man she’s flyin’!
Bronze bell
Great Video😊
I remember when NCTM had a working Shay.😢
From what I've read, that Shay is under evaluation for restoration.
This was by far the coolest experience of my life, I will never forget this!!!
Metra F59phi #82 has beautiful hybrid K5LA. And I thought #87 ex-Amtrak 464 was the last F59phi remaining w/ hybrid k5la (sadly got replaced b/c it fouled). But I'm glad Metra was able to give #82 hybrid and hope they can continue give more to these F59phi's.
There are only 21 f59phis in the fleet
@hiawathafilms I thought there were only 20. 14 from Surfliner and 6 from Cascades
Is 82 keeping the K5LA?
The MACH’s are so cooo
Nice horn salute
What an awesome catch!
80 is trailing 74 now, what a coincidence
Awesome P3
I miss those days
Same here!
