Railfanning Elkhart, IN! 12-20-24 (Ft. Grand Elk, Leslie RS3L, NS 1065)
This Friday, I was enticed by NS 1065 leading NS 27G, as it recently had been washed and received a new horn. I decided I would wait on it by railfanning in Elkhart for a few hours. Even though it was cold, the snow resulted in some nice shots, and it ended up being a success. There were also a couple of surprises, including the Grand Elk and a Leslie RS3L horn on BNSF 5432, which was the last thing I expected to hear in this era of modern railroading!

The BRAND NEW NS 4851 (Tennessee Alabama And Georgia Heritage Unit) Trailing On NS 142! 12-11-24
Переглядів 232День тому
During the CSX 1851 sh*t show Tuesday, I found out that NS 4851, Norfolk Southern's brand new Tennessee Alabama And Georgia heritage unit was trailing on NS 142 bound for Elkhart. It was making good time heading north, so I figured I could be able to see it the next day. The next morning just after 9:00AM, I got the surprising word that NS 142 was already in Goshen. We raced out to Elkhart, and...
Railfanning Nappanee, IN: 12-10-24 (Ft. CSX 1851)

This past Tuesday, we headed down to Nappanee, IN on the Garrett Subdivision, as CSX 1851 (Nashville Chattanooga And St. Louis) was leading CSX I169. As it passed Deshler in the early afternoon, I figured it had a good chance at being a daylight run. Boy was I wrong. Routing of train traffic out east caused it to be heavily delayed, and when night began to set in, I figured I would just wait on...

Last night, it was the annual fight to stay awake, as the Canadian Pacific holiday train was heading through once again on the Chicago Line, now rebranded for CPKC. Since it took a delay in Detroit for a stalled freight train, the holiday train passed through my area later than usual, but all in all it ended up being another success. We started out by catching the train in Goshen, and since he ...

This weekend, I got quite the heads up. NS 4006 was leading NS 28X eastbound on the Chicago Line. NS 4006 in the last year or so has acquired a Leslie RS5T, and now that all of the other RS5T horns on NS road units are gone, this is currently the only one. I was going to do everything I could to head out and see it. We headed out to Elkhart just east of town at the Lusher Avenue crossing, and N...

This past Friday, we headed down to Goshen to do some shopping. On the way back, we went by Elkhart Yard, and there was something of interest on the west end. CN A441 was on one of the outbound tracks, and leading was CN 8309, one of the brand new SD75IAC rebuilds! I figured this was a great opportunity to get one of these new engines, so I hung out at Chestnut Street for a little bit. It took ...

I headed out to MP 427 on the west end of Elkhart, and it took under 30 minutes for NS 30Q to show up. I ended up staying out for a few more hours until sundown, and right as night was falling, CN A4...

Yesterday, I felt like getting out and catching some trains, so I decided to head out to Elkhart and railfan. This ended up being a good decision, as not even 15 minutes after I got there, a nice surprise came in the form of NS 19K with NS 4001 leading solo! I also caught the Grand Elk, and a while later I heard Elkhart And Western to the north returning to Elkhart, so I walked up there to see ...

I stuck around for another hour afterwards, and another train I wanted to see came through in the last several minutes of daylight. Overall a decent turnout. Bel...

Earlier this week, the Office Car Special (NS 956) was making a daylight run eastbound on the Chicago Line Monday afternoon. After I found out it was going to have a short overlay in Elkhart Yard, I made a plan to catch it twice. Around 12:00PM EST, NS 956 departed Chicago, and about two hours later I set up in Osceola, and it didn't take too long for it to show up. I then headed to Elkhart to ...

A lot has been going on around here lately, and I totally forgot to upload this. A couple weeks ago I was able to catch my ninth CSX heritage unit, CSX 1876 the Pittsburgh And Lake Erie leading CSX I115. I actually initially caught it in Nappanee but it didn't work out, so we had to chase it to La Paz, and I was able to get a much better shot there.

14:40 My god that K5LA sounds awful...
@Zach 1227 Rail Videos... Nice plus it left on NS 31Q to Chicago IL Calumet Yard earlier in the day & then left on NS 29A to Atlanta GA Inman Yard as the Solo Leader!
It was on 171 left Conway Yard near Pittsburgh back on Friday December 6 for Chattanooga before that left on Manifest Train 13V pick up in Altoona Bound for Conway on December 5th
First a CSX heritage unit and Now and NS lashup? THATS AWESOME 😎
The ending was perfect!
Thanks for sharing. Was on the last run, DC to Chicago, the previous evening.
Nice video n I scrb you 👍♥️
Yeah, nice catch catching this new train. Let buy some chargers I think they made this new Florida train one because some trains can’t run in New York much in the big apple because they are doing some tunnel construction for a while. They after it started at the beginning of last week.
Nice 👍
I like that Conrail caboose in the background.
Possibly owned by the New York Central railway museum because in fact it is located in Elkhart.
@Zach 1227 Rail Videos... Nice i'm planning on catching it & the AMTK 40 on the Elkhart PTZ Cam sometime soon
! Nice video. Like me !

Very interesting horn!
That was fantastic!!
Awesome ACe!
These locals are called L515-91, offer some of the wildest lashup CN has to offer
Love seein' these old geep prex's beenin' refurbished! They are the work horses of the shortlines hands down!
The horn could use a cleaning or a back cap tightening but sounds pretty nice otherwise.
Great catches awesome chase and nice video

Why Did BNSF Dash 9 Turns Into GECX????? It’s Because BNSF Just Retired Few Dash 9s Or It’s Because Something Issues Or Problem About The Dash 9s?????

Cool rs5t
Why don’t they have the wolverine line electrified?
Because it’s a waste of money. Those locomotives and coaches are capable of 125 mph if they wanted it. An electric train isn’t going to be any faster than that. Far more economical to run diesels, considering the frequency of trains there.
@ bro, do you even understand countries like Asia and Europe’s trains are electric and can go high-speed? How is it more economical to run diesel trains rather than electric trains?
@@FFred-us9tw Dude if that was true then Caltrain wouldn’t have electrified their line
@@RailMan102_Productions the cost of the infrastructure, maintenance, manpower to maintain it, the reliability factor and the cost of buying electric locomotives is in the billions. If you don’t have the ridership and in turn the number of trains needed to make it financially feasible it’s a waste of money. Which is why the majority of US routes don’t have it. Diesels are self contained and far cheaper and more reliable to operate on lesser frequency routes. California got grant money for the project and is such a backwards state that losing money is just normal to them. They don’t mind operating at a loss because they’re hyper focused on emissions. Ignoring the fact that electric trains still run on power from fossil fuels.
@Zach 1227 Rail Videos... Nice i saw him at Phillipsburg NJ on the NS Lehigh Line... Plus i really love that P3 Horn as well!
We gonna talk about the cop?
It has a nice horn.
