BIGMIX 2023: Trains from North America-Southern Peru
In 2023, I made a dual-trip effort to capture the last summer for Montana Rail Link, and traveled around the American west and midwest to find classic locomotives from fallen flags still in use. A few shots from Canada made the mix, as Canadian National leased a green former Burlington Northern engine for use around Toronto (Brantford.) To wrap it all up, I took a journey to Southern Peru Copper to photograph GP40s, SD70s, and even U23Bs exported from the States!

Railfanning in a Tornado, 2010
Переглядів 1,4 тис.6 місяців тому
On Friday May 7th, 2010 I went out for a day of railfanning with stormy skies looming for a pair of Conrail units on NS train 15T. Backtracking to Vermilion, Ohio, I set up trackside for some stormy shots and the tornado sirens went off. This was indeed a warning (not a watch) indicating a touchdown, and the hail began to fall as the skies turned an odd green shade. To my surprise, a Conrail SD...
(4K) CN GP9RM trio at track speed
Переглядів 6016 місяців тому
CN L583 ran from London to Paris, Ontario with a GP9RM trio, and I was there for the action! The RM stands for "rebuilt-Montreal," and it's cool to see these Canadian veterans soldering on in their homeland doing what they were built to do.
CP SD40-2s in a Snowstorm: Maine's Moosehead Sub
Переглядів 1,1 тис.9 місяців тому
At the beginning of CP Rail's takeover of the old Central Maine & Quebec properties, old locomotives were the rule rather than the exception as railroads scrambled to put modern power with Positive Train Control technology onto lines that required PTC. The practice was short-lasted, but on January 2nd, 2021 I headed up to the northern border of Maine at Jackman to head them off. Enjoy!
Good Days on the Missabe: DMIR 403
Переглядів 1,6 тис.Рік тому
I never saw it much, but back when DM&IR SD40T-3 403 was still in ore service, I managed to catch it three times on Minnesota's Iron Range weaving around curves and grades through the pines, running from Two Harbors to the mines. The footage is from 2016-2017; at the time of this writing, the unit is now captive in remote control service in Thunder Bay, Ontario.
Best of BNSF Railway

We take a look at some of my best catches out on the BNSF system from Chicago to Washington's coast, primarily on former BN territory. You'll see plenty of green Burlington Northern units, Santa Fe bluebonnets and warbonnets, as well as some classic BNSF Heritage 1 power and a high headlight swoosh SD40-2 still retaining its Leslie RS3K horn.

BC Rail in the Upper Peninsula with K5L Canada Blaster
Переглядів 5 тис.Рік тому
Back in January 2017, CN paired up BCOL C40-8M 4622 and C44-9WL 4644 on the job from Partridge/Negaunee to Gladstone in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. 4622 still sported its original K5L horn at the time! While the engine is now retired, enjoy these clips from an era of railroading when variety was easier to come by.
Dunn Paper Spur in Port Huron: As It Was

With the recent closure of Dunn Paper in Port Huron, Michigan, and the uncertain future of the spur track leading to it, I present my footage from 2018 when it was still under CN ownership. Grand Trunk GP9R 4632 has the honors; also featured are classic lake freighters Tadoussac and Cuyahoga.

Soo Line Survivors
Переглядів 6 тис.2 роки тому
While I was never able to see the Soo Line Railroad in its prime, CP Rail was very gradual in repainting their former SOO fleet since the acquisition, so hockey stick and candy apple units remained somewhat commonplace on trains until positive train control wiped out the remaining fleet. Enjoy some of my catches of old Soo Line locomotives from 2015 to 2019, all over the Midwest!
2021 BIGMIX: The Railroad Earth
Переглядів 7 тис.2 роки тому
Views of my railroad, train, and locomotive travels and adventures throughout 2021! Above all other Bigmixes, this has been the most emotional dealing with a year riddled with death, graduation, a career, and the highs and lows that come with those things. The feelings I felt are hopefully translated through this video, and the best trains still burnishing the rails. Enjoy.

    i was one of the guys that lost their job at the mill in 2020. there was i believe 13 of us. Called us in shortly after all the covid lockdowns and told us that they were shutting the doors june 30th 2020. then they extended it because we had more wheat than they thought initially. they ultimately went on to work until i think december. i still left in june as i moved back to my home town of chattanooga tn which ironically enough is where Grain Craft is headquartered. i learned a lot at that job. i feel like it taught me to be a man and not be a kid as it was the first blue collar job i had and the first job i had where i worked around men and not kids. i had worked a lot of kitchen jobs up to that point. most of the guys i worked with were pretty cool. a couple assholes and a couple that i would have liked to put my hands on but overall it was cool. i made some good money there moving and unloading cars and sweeping floors lol. they did sell the property to the metro parks im pretty sure and im curious to see what becomes of it. i ride by every now and then and its funny to see the lot all grown up and to think its only like that because im not out there every year at the start of summer with my weed eater knockin down weeds as part of a work order lol.

    23:18 whoever wrote that on the railcar would also write a lot of other stuff over the years. I worked night shift and only saw someone tagging a car once. They must've been a ninja cause they'd tag almost everyday.

    They closed that bridge down in 2020 because it would cost $750,000 to fix and it only served one customer, the flour mill. They delivered railcars full of wheat and I would shuffle the cars around and unload them. It was awesome. Sad it no longer works and the flour mill is now closed. The Cleveland metroparks recently bought the property.

      it would appear we were fed some bs by the company. there was something wrong with that bridge but there was a solution to that. the dude said it at the beginning of the video the future of FIRR was uncertain with grain craft closing its doors. GC lied to us. one "Dude" we worked with showed me an article from a local news paper saying that it wasnt because the bridge that we closed technically. if i can find it ill send u the link bro. but this video is definitely confirms that us closing hurt them not the other way around. i recall them trying to put it on the FIRR and the bridge being in trouble but the article im talking about states something about the government stepping in and helping out with either repairs if there was a functioning company at the end of a line that was having problems or if a privately owned switch yard was closing the doors then the government was supposed to step in and take over to continue to serve the comapny at that received goods from the yard that was closing. Grain Craft pulled the plug on that mill because it was losing money. We hardly ran and had lost all but like one contract by the end. It was a perfect storm of events that closed us truth be told but i signed an NDA saying i wont discuss the nitty gritty part lol. me and u will talk about it next time i see u.

    If this was in the 1980s and 1990s i guarantee my dad was driving one of those Grand Trunk trains. My dad worked at Grand Trunk railroad as an engineer from 1967 to 1998. He retired early. His name was Jim Gardiner and this brings back memories from my childhood with my dad. His routes were from Battle creek, Michigan to Chicago and Battle Creek, Michigan to Port Huron, Michigan. He passed away in 2017😢 Thanks for uploading this!
