Read More Head on over to my New Year’s Eve Video Premiere at 11:45 PM!The year 2020 probably makes you cringe and think of masks, quarantine, and of course, covid. Compared to last year, this year’s railfanning was not that great. The Adirondack was cancelled in March, the quarantine prevented any trips for the first half of the year, and even once I got out to the tracks, the number of […]
Read More A Year of Trains, 2020I just finished uploading the video I made from today’s railfanning adventure, and since it was (probably) the last railfanning of the year, I decided to make it a end of 2020 special video, and it will premiere tomorrow at 11:45 PM (that way, after you watch it for 5:18 you can get ready to […]
Read More Watch the Premiere of My End of the Year Special Railfanning Trip Tomorrow at 11:45 PM!Today I was listening to the local CP action on my new scanner, and I heard CP dispatch tell D11 (Plattsburgh local) that they would have to wait to use the main, and that NS 931 was at Rockland coming north.

Read More Trackside Treks Episode 27: Cowls, Chases, and CSX in the Capitol RegionYesterday morning we headed out to Catskill to catch Q003 and L007. (Q007 is L on Sundays and Mondays) We got bored waiting for them to pass a couple southbounds, so we headed down to the old factory area. We were heading back to Catskill when I heard “Q003 clear 108” which sent me into […]
Read More Fast Trains, Chases, and (Groan) Some Misses: Day 2 of Railfanning in the Hudson ValleyToday we had some time to railfan on the way down for Christmas. Things were still pretty slow due to the railroad holiday, but we caught a few trains between Schenectady and Selkirk, NY. We headed to Burdeck Street in Schenectady, and an eastbound Intermodal/Autorack was coming through. Didn’t catch the symbol. Oh well, missed […]
