I film trains usually from Brunswick to Portland, and occasionally farther. I also have a good collection of crossing bells so you might see those. I also don’t upload often because of school and stuff.
Kelley's channel has some videos with young me in it if you wanted to see those.
99.9% of my videos are filmed in Maine.
I also submit pictures for Mike's Railroad Crossing Website. They are not the best, but they are something.

It’s an iPhone 12. Not a huge upgrade in camera quality but a HUGE upgrade in audio! Also note the 2 horizon coaches instead of one. I also will occasionally use the iPhone 16 for filming still, so no need to worry. Edit: just found out this phone can go up to 4K at 30fps so I'll film like that from now on.

I have no clue what the lights are, but the relay box attached to the pole says “Nachod Signal Co Inc.” so the lights could be that. The mechanical bell is an RRS, one of only three left in the state. I forgot to change the camera quality so this was filmed in HD rather than 4K.

The WCH mechanical bell here replaced a mini bell around 2000. This crossing also has the last GRS 8” lights on the entire Downeaster line.

The rare weird train that I saw earlier today ended Amtrak flagging the crossings. Also notice how many people duck under/walk around the gate. It’s those damn tourists lol

If you saw my community post last night you’ll know that this is not my phone, it’s my Fatha’s. So you won’t see a lot of videos filmed like this, but still a few. I should be upgrading from an 11 to a 13 soon so overall video quality will improve.

Yo its me
Who? From school or somethin’?
This sounds like a Dutch M bell
@@fan48483 It is very similar to those ones
How is it stolen if it's your video lol
@@hannamaniacrailproductions5082 I “stole” it from my TikTok. I was being semi-sarcastic.
A CSX crossing with its bells ringing while the gates are down is extremely rare for CSX only Michigan bc CSX is forced to keep the bells ringing by law
@@CSXEK These signals were originally installed by Pan Am so that might be the reason. All crossings on the Brunswick Branch were installed between 2011-2013.
M Bells last much longer
@@mec_rails Debatable
@@RailfanRXR I guess
Beautiful foliage up there
indeed
Or it’s just normal wind from Maine?
Saw that one coming. No it has been very windy for the past 2 days here dumby
.. Freeport, Maine ?
Mmhmm
Looks amazing - remember when trying to do night videos on the old iphone 4 and 5 - so bad compared to today.
@@undeadtotheend6420 😂 I remember that too. Even on the iPhone 11 which I normally use, night videos kinda suck.
haha my iPhone 15 pro can do 4k at 60FPS
Nice. This one can go higher quality but I only did 4k at 30fps
Great quality!
I know, right?
Aalokwkw,eke
@@gemaperez8227 noted
That sounds almost EXACTLY like a cars warning system. Im refering to the kind that makes noise when you dont have your seat belt on
Haha it kinda does!
Locale, please.
@@larryellisreed280 10 Thompsons Point, Portland, ME 04102
@@RailfanRXR Thank you. As well, you may want to take note of the railroad crossing number (which is on a blue sign posted at the crossing) and report the situation accordingly at the freecall number listed thereon.
@@larryellisreed280 Oh yeah I should have done that. The bell has been sick for about a year at this point, and the signals have been timing out since the Downeasters inaugural run on December 14, 2001.
😂
Woah! That is one sick bell!
Excellent video my friends awesome 😮and Greeting 👌 🙋🏻♀️
Mini bells gong needs to be loosened on the screw
this is Stanwood street in Brunswick, ME
that's in maine
It sure is.
@@RailfanRXR I ♥️ the downeaster
@@zostrelling_Me too!
@@RailfanRXR its my local amtrak service
@@zostrelling_Mine too. The Downeaster is the only Amtrak service here in Maine.
Wow 7 years!
Awesome mechanical bell i like it.
Where do you get these bells?
I got most of them from eBay, but this one and 2 others I just found in junkyards. This one and the mini bell came from a junkyard in the middle of the woods that looks like it hasn’t been touched in 10 years.
god that train was rocking. what are they doing? throwing a party?
😂 It’s going into the Layover Facility nearby so it has to travel on the terribly maintained tracks instead of the closer track.
@@RailfanRXR I like to think there just throwing a party 😂
Yup! I saw the 90406 leading 684 at cross road today
Nice! You wrote that literally seconds after the video was published! That’s impressive!
@@RailfanRXR I got a notification 😊
Nice I need a hybrid I just bought my 9th bell, a 1930s-40s WRRS bell
Nice! I also have 9 bells.
bros got that premium ex L&N safetran bell
Awesome video! I love Mikes Xing website!
Thanks! Me too!
Epic
Sounds like the bell from back to the future and duel
Just uploaded a video of my little silly man a few days ago after I repainted it, not sure if I made it look better or worse lmao
“little silly man” 😂 Just checked it out and I think it looks better! I need to do that to mine.
Called a horizon coach. There’s one behind the P42 on every running Downeaster set right now. The horizons are expected to be the new passenger car service, replacing the amfleets.
Non powered control cab. It hasn’t had an engine in years
ARE YOU 7,5? JEEZ!
Haha no but I am 6’ 1”
Excellent video really enjoyed watching your video keep up the great work looking forward to seeing more great content from you soon thanks again and have a awesome weekend
Thanks! You too!
Caltrain is retiring their fleet of F40s.
This has to be one of the coolest trainvideos I've seen in years. Even if it's non-powered to see an f40ph is AWESOME
Brunswick, MAINE? Downeaster with NPCU “406” paint scheme derived from “40th” Anniversary set which toured the IS eleven years ago.
you should of got on to it
these aren’t new, it’s the same as the cabbages they always use but without the baggage compartment where the engine was. it’s just a reassigned cabbage engine from another route
Why does Amtrak only use five coaches. Why not at least ten. Maybe think of mass promotions investing more dollars 💰 for more coaches which in turn would have more passengers Amtrak would make more money 💰💰. Amtrak was a good way back in the 1970s. Today they seem silly with only five cars.
I think Amtrak trains outside of Maine have a few more than 5.
shorter route…it’s not uncommon for the short routes to have fewer cars since there’s less need plus shorter stations
I love seeing a phase 3 F40 in service, even as an NPCU. It just looks so classic.
This is awesome
0:43 lil woman get scared
the renumbered 406 :skull:
💀
Most likely a cabbage car! (Hollowed out cab used for baggage and npcu unit) Rare to see an f40ph though. Nice catch
rare? they’re on the majority of corridor trains outside of the NEC!
@@bostonrailfan2427 rare in the West Coast then
@@jackfrost3254 …was used on the Cascades for years
@@bostonrailfan2427 was! Haven't seen one in decades
@@jackfrost3254 and yet you’re still wrong as they were used. sorry if your ignorance was turned around on you
1:35 if that engine was on, it would've sounded like NJ transit GP40-2
