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. That's your job on finding that channel :)
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.

This is a video uploaded to Kelley’s channel that I took and uploaded on mine. I didn’t upload it for the longest time because the audio wasn’t working, but today it just magically decided to work.

I know, a pretty random location. We were taking pictures for Mike’s when this snuck up on me. This shows how terrible I am at catching freight trains because after my channel being around for over 2 years, this is the first freight train I have caught.

The dude at the beginning of the video said “There’s a Brunswick switcher at Church Road.” We went to check it out after this and there was in fact a Brunswick switcher at Church Road. I didn’t film it though because all the action ended right as we got there. Also every single time I go by the Church Road crossing, the southern signal seems slightly more destroyed every time. It’s because of a...

Do you like more compilations or individual videos from me? The only downside to the compilations is that you have to deal with the watermark in the corner.

I often walk down to the crossings in Freeport after school to catch a train, and this day I walked to School Street to see it. I looked down the tracks towards East Street and way down the tracks I saw a car go by at like 1mph and a lady walking around down there, as if she was guiding traffic through the crossing. Then I noticed the little white light on the side of the railroad crossing ligh...

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.

@@Hopen111YT Very epic
What is that sound 💀
Wow
Nice!
Merry Christmas!
That is a strange horn!
Can’t even properly see the light when the sun shines
@@finny1548 They are ancient after all, and the incandescent bulbs are dying.
What’s that crossing called?
No idea. I've never seen anything like this.
P42 pulling tank cars?
@@conraillock666 Yep, as well as some weird track equipment. I think that’s it was cleaning the flangeways because when I walked down to the crossing later that day they were cleared and a whole bunch of dirt was kicked up everywhere.
I am so curious what the relay mechanism looks like for those lights. Thanks for sharing
Nice one. How come shaking it a little like that gets it to ring quite loudly?
@@vastjonea Mostly momentum. Shaking the bell makes the little hammer in the bell go back and forth and hit the gong. After it gets going it just keeps doing it because of momentum.
@@RailfanRXR Ah yeah, should've thought of that
A very nice shot!

This signal has been here for a while too so that makes sense

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?

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 👌 🙋🏻♀️

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.
I have a 40's wrrs to
