Since this is a long shot, I didn't see the train bumping when I filmed it, but when working on the video I saw it, too. Sometimes, I'm glad I don't see the sideways movements when I'm on location, because they would scare me lol.
Excellent production (of course). What a lovely shot that is at 12:10. I really do think some of the greatest unsung heroes are the conductors who hang on to the end of the train while they shove backwards, sometimes for miles.
Thanks so much! Really appreciate it. I know, it sometimes scares me to see them hanging there and their only contact is the engineer via radio, sometimes a mile away.
Thanks! Absolutely. Even though CSX trains tend to look very similar nowadays, different spots offer great perspectives, though. And the setting sun shining onto the nose of a GEVO - well I like that!
Oh yeah. The last train almost stalled at the steepest hill in the area, Bogart Hill, where I saw him crawl at about 5 mph - very much to the fun of the people waiting at the rail crossing lol. Great you like the video!
Thanks, Mike. That's right, always up and down along the entire line. I think he had to make up time. He almost stalled earlier. Those CSX people who make the assessment how much power is needed do not always seem to be ahead of the curve when it comes to adding topographic specifics to the equation.
You weren't alone, when the first two trains went past you. There's a couple on the other side of the track. It's good to see others like the SE Hull location too. I love the nifty ET44 and the midtrain helpers. These are cool long trains and you captured them very nicely. Another quality update, thank you for your effort. :)
Right, there were some kids and a police cop, but nobody bothered me. It's true, I also really like these shots. It's difficult to get them in decent quality, so when I'm filming I never really know what it looks like on a big screem. Only at the production stage, the quality reveals itself.
Hot diggity! What a ride! Always great to watch your videos. To me they're very soothing, listening to steel on steel. Those were some good long shots, especially at the feed mill. You never disappoint. No click bait here!
I see the crew of 704 is enjoying the air conditioning (the door being open) - though I would think it has A/C in the cab. Just great things here - the meet, the chatter, the trains :)
Yes CSX units have A/C, unless it malfunctioned. When I watc hed the "final product" by myself I also thought there's really a lot in it. I still can't get over that long shot close to the end. I haven't filmed on this side of Harper Siding in a while. I just love it :)
excellent video and congratulations on the filming, my channel is about railroad especially the logistic course in Araraquara s.p - Brazil, thanks for sharing the videos

Great catches in some hilly areas. Where I am its all flat being on the old New York Central Water Level Route
Thanks! Well, railfanning the Water Level Route must be also very cool!
@@mbmars01 It is, the CSX and NS mainlines here are 1/4 to 1/2 mile from Lake Erie
I expect it must be very busy up there. Can you send some of your trains down south ;)
Still enjoying your videos. Hope you and yours are managing to stay safe. All the best Mick🇬🇧
That's great that you keep enjoying them! As of now, my place is a safe haven, but who knows what's still in the bag for us. Stay safe, too!
Beautiful shots .I just love to watch ur video's thks
I know, these shots are amazing. This is simply a cool location. It's actually one of my favorite spots on this line.
I like that bump at the crossing at 18:25. That train was movin! Didn't have long to wait for a video this time.

Very nice compilation of catches! The hills make for the perfect scene of grunt & power!

Great action shots. You really show the hilly terrain. Excellent video as usual.

8:55 - Looks like a wild roller coaster ride for train crews passing through that location.
It looks a bit more dramatic in the zoom shots, but the grades are there and more than once heavy trains have struggled getting over these hills.
@@mbmars01 I wonder how many knuckle breaks they go through in those areas.
It happened all the time in the past... Now it's not so bad anymore, but there also fewer trains running.
Always love to see your video.
Very cool!
Great catches..up one hill down the other! The mixed freight was really "hauling the mail"!!

Nice pics! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, David! You're welcome!
Super as usual, hope you and family are doing well
Thanks so much! Yes, I'm fine; I hope you can say the same about you and your family! Stay safe.
great video 🚄🚄👍
Cool, thank you!
Terrific catches/meets!
Thanks!
@@mbmars01 Your Welcome!

That's nice! There's more in queue that I'm sure you'll like!
@@mbmars01 There's no doubt about that!
Another great video.
Cool, thanks!
Amazing video! Thumb up!
Thanks very much!
Keep 'em coming!
Yup, will try.

@@mbmars01 yes! Long shots are awesome. Grain train, tankers, coal - any where the cars are similar for me 😊
@Jim Dean thoughts exactally... engines arent bathroom friendly
@Jim Dean LOL :)
Nice catches
Thank you!
@@mbmars01 your welcome
Grait video bro.
Thanks my friend!

Thank you!
Sweet video!
Thank you, Noah!
Nice catch bro keep it up
Thanks!
Ur welcome bro I enjoy watching ur videos:)
I appreciate it!
The G trains come from Indiana btw!
Loved the video!
Awesome, thanks!
Locomotive reliability must be getting better these days. It seems more and more common to see single units leading trains.
Well, they are, but they are also operated at their limits. The last train almost stalled out on one of those hills.
@@mbmars01 How embarrasing would that be?? I sure wish I lived near some Class 1 railroading, especially now that I"m retired.
excellent video and congratulations on the filming, my channel is about railroad especially the logistic course in Araraquara s.p - Brazil, thanks for sharing the videos
Dude I have not seen in your video train sit in the siding it has bin a long time
Oh there are many videos on this channel with trains coming out of side tracks.
