  • This is a bi-annual railfan outing amongst railroad employees who are railfans and railfans in general. This was probably the best outing we ever had as the CSX River Line ran a parade of trains by throughout the day. Between 7am and 7pm, they stuffed 15 trains by including some with EMD power plus a BNSF crude oil train. We also saw MN heritage units, Conrail #201/Beach ball #208/Penn Central #217 across the river plus the Hickory Creek observation car on Amtrak #233. A great time was had by all as you can see. You’ll see a lot of kidding around amongst us all between the trains.

    I know I'm late (been a lil busy) anyway, I love these videos with you and the guys. A day of great train action and friendly banter between friends with common interests.
    You getting out, doing what you love is inspiring and I try to do the same, especially as I age. I find it very important to get out and find hobbies to keep entertained.

      Just one. The freight action was so intense and the metro North Heritage action was so intense Amtrak kind of got overshadowed.

      Just to be clear, I didn’t say that freight trains weren’t important. I just said that I don’t like taking pictures of them. There’s little variety in the appearance and you can’t ride them. With that said, I’m a huge fan of the Retired Railfan.

      @@Leonard_Wilson Fan. As we all are. I see your point about variety if you’re talking about unit trains (e.g. coal hoppers, auto racks, grain trains, and others) but a mixed freight or manifest can be a map of our industrial base and, in some instances, an inventory of fallen flags. Plus, the mix of motive power is fun to watch - and catch. I hear you that you can’t ride them - legally.

    I’m not a fan of freight trains. I just find them boring. However, I like passenger trains. If there’s another outing them I may join you guys for the second half (where the primary focus is on Amtrak and Metro-North). I can meet you at Manitou.

    I enjoyed watching the Kentucky Derby on Saturday. Exciting photo finish, What is the status of the Belmont Race Track station on the LIRR? Rumors have it that it's abandoned. The Belmont Stakes is coming up soon. No more race trains? That's a huge event.
