Posted this in another place here on TrainBoard, but thought I might as well include it in this topic as well: [video=youtube;dthq4WqBo0o]https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=dthq4WqBo0o[/video]
Thanks Ken for posting. Fuuny but I'm not worried about the crossing gate. What caught my attention and curiosity, what locomotive were they transporting? This thread never did belong to me, it's for you to submit and enjoy your favorite railfanning videos. All about having some fun. Keep or should I say go ahead and post your favorite videos. In other words it's up to you to keep this thread rolling. Viewing number is up so a shout out of thanks for tuning in. I'm out of here.
Here's another one of the little Maine RR operations. Thought I could find more about them, but only a couple seem available: [video=youtube;EJnf7cwaHto]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJnf7cwaHto[/video]
Not a lot of train action, in fact, just one. But thought the weather effect was interesting: [video=youtube;Dq4oqesr5J0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dq4oqesr5J0[/video]
NS Moving Down The Line My favorite paint schemes for the BNSF. There's more action on the Harrisburg Line. [video=youtube;XtdJRb1C8Nk]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtdJRb1C8Nk[/video] Trains on the Norfolk Southern Harrisburg Line Late Spring 2014 Central Penn Rail Productions Published on Jun 18, 2014 It's time for another installment of trains along the busy Norfolk Southern Harrisburg Line. The foliage has filled in and the sun is hot and the days are long, which allows a variety of trains and locations in daylight hours that are not possible during the short days of the winter, late fall and early spring. Plenty of foreign power and rare/older lead locomotives makes an appearance in this 25 minute video, which features 15 trains ranging from a variety of unit trains to mixed freights and hot shot intermodals. So sit back and enjoy the action of big freights grinding the former Reading mainline between Harrisburg and Reading, Pennsylvania. Train information and video time stamps for navigation can be found by clicking You Tube in the Picture Frame.
What railroad got it's first charter with horses providing the traction power?

"Glory Machines" is pretty damn good, I must say. Lots of good vintage footage in here of PRR steam on Horseshoe Curve. One more video featuring the Decapod.

Excerpts from the Penn Valley Pictures film "The Ore Train" filmed and narrated by the late Clarence R. Weaver, filmed in 1952-53 in and around Northumberland and Sunbury, PA and along Pennsy's Shamokin Branch.
How about a shout out to the N&W? I have no idea where to put this video other then Railfanning Everywhere East, so here goes....

I've always found the size of some Pennsy steam tenders to be quite interesting. I wonder what the economy was in those? Or if it was purely for greater range?
I was looking at that myself wondering what gives? Obviously less stops means a more efficient railroad. However, in this case I have no real idea what's going on. For you N scale enthusiast it's time to get out the one B'mann's 4-8-4 tender I own and see if it will work with the one Pennsy stove I own. Grin! One more from the N&W influence.

John Rhodes Uploaded on Aug 2, 2009 This is one of her last trips to Front Royal before She was taken out of Service My response to taking her out of service. It was a sad day to see this happen. I'd give anything if N&S would bring both the #611 and the #1218 back into the stable.
How about some recent rail events. [video=youtube;x7uVi6YcWjk]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7uVi6YcWjk[/video] Courtesy of: Pennsylvania Railroad E8's on the Norfolk Southern Harrisburg Line Central Penn Rail Productions Published on Jun 5, 2014 May 27 and June 3, 2014: Bennett Levin's famed E8's make a special run on the NS Harrisburg Line on their way to/from the Streamliners event in Spencer, NC. [video=youtube;SViPBU29_x0]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SViPBU29_x0[/video] Courtesy Of: "Streamliner's" Return Home on the Norfolk Southern Harrisburg Division Central Penn Rail Productions Published on Jun 10, 2014 June 4, 2014: After the Streamliners event in Spencer, NC, which held the mass gathering of Cab Units from across the country, several are seen returning home along the Norfolk Southern Lurgan Branch between Hagerstown, MD and Harrisburg, PA, and one shot also takes place on the Buffalo Line.
One of those E units has a wheel problem. Flat spotted or worse. I note by the three minute mark, it must have been set out somewhere, as one is now missing and the train passes without a banging noise
Chasing a few NS Heritage units: [video=youtube;iNr2n5Yl4lk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNr2n5Yl4lk[/video]
Only one train, but it's a real thumper, plenty of rail car sounds, and a neat winter setting: [video=youtube;FI9BAdNIaeI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FI9BAdNIaeI[/video]
Love these little guys. Fifty years ago on the Edaville RR: [video=youtube;9tgUSM26xkM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tgUSM26xkM&list=UUE_zIRmzRGX6MqqMauhWysw[/video]
An interesting chase. Some of the track seems to be in poor condition, some very good. Kind of has me wondering! [video=youtube;yuE3HbLt6aI]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuE3HbLt6aI[/video] One side comment. A shame there is so much wind noise, as the old fashioned horn work is nice to hear. I wonder why so many fans do so poorly in equipping their cameras with a decent external microphone? Unless the camera has no provision to add something, it is not that expensive.
On my bucket list of places to see some day: [video=youtube;N0WYXAX8OJY]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0WYXAX8OJY[/video]
I had a chance to visit Michigan with a less then pleasant experience cross country skiing. This next video starts out slowly with some views of light houses and then the trains get rolling. [video=youtube;fpV905TfGsg]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpV905TfGsg[/video] CSX Freight Trains Delay In Block Productions 10,701 91,170 Published on Jul 18, 2012 *As seen on The Rail Channel: This video is compiled with footage from many different time periods and locations. Some footage was filmed in late 2011, while other parts were filmed in early July, 2012. Much of CSX Transportation's main lines through the Northern part of the Midwest can be seen in this video. To start, we set up to film Amtrak's Pere Marquette at St. Joseph, Michigan on a late summer evening. While waiting for the train, we open with scenes of the North Pier Lighthouses as well as Silver Beach. We also caught the train again headed South in the morning at Stevensville, Michigan. This area of CSX's Grand Rapids Subdivision is extremely scenic and has, over time, become a popular vacation destination spot for many beach goers.
Oops? About 8:20 of this video there passes a CSX train, with a bunch of newly painted engines. Even a BNSF which looks fresh. I wonder what shop they come from?
Another from my fifty mile long bucket list: [video=youtube;aYYMn_gf9TM]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYYMn_gf9TM[/video]
