Ethanol at Dusk

Last Saturday, we were just finishing up at robotics when I heard that a 650 was coming south. We headed down to South Junction Road, and after seeing them pass my webcam, I got set up. The power was the usual pair of GEs, but I enjoyed seeing a train on a perfect evening nonetheless. […]

(Video) Searching for RR Remains around Chaumont, NY + Chasing Q621 on the Massena Line!

The day after we railfanned Syracuse, we did a couple more train related things that I thought I’d share. -Harrison

Gideon was over yesterday to work on the layout (and its environment), so we filmed a quick video. Enjoy… Tired Harrison

We Have a Big One Coming in Tonight! Railfanning Syracuse Premieres at 7 Eastern

My longest video yet (49 minutes) premieres tonight at 7 PM Eastern time. While you certainly don’t have to stay for the whole thing, stop by and say hi on the chat if you get a chance. -Harrison

Enjoy the first video on Corey’s layout Littleville on the Little D&H. The second will be more detailed, and come out in the coming weeks. -Harrison

My Thoughts on the Recent Railroad Thefts

It’s happened yet again. This time, the door was stolen off an ex-Erie Lackawanna E8 stored on the Batten Kill Railroad. Hal T. Raven shared yesterday that the 250 lb door was stolen, probably over the weekend as the last theft had. Hal (owner of Raven Rail LLC) and the Batten Kill have been the […]

(Video) A Couple of Trains on a Saturday Afternoon, Dirtiest CP Engine I’ve Ever Seen!

In this video, I catch 2 trains in Plattsburgh, including 650 with the dirtiest CP locomotive I’ve ever seen. -Harrison

CN SD70M-2 and D11 With a Caboose

On June 18th, I heard that 931 was coming north with a CN SD70M-2 leading. Having missed out on past SD70Ms, I didn’t want to miss this one. We headed out to South Junction Road to shoot them coming north, with a CP AC4400 trailing. A got a nice wave from the engineer (one which […]

Follow along as I explore Burlington Yard. -Harrison

Visiting the Adirondack Live Steamers

After Corey and I visited 30T at Ballston Spa, we made our way north to the Adirondack Live Steamers. Although I can’t say exactly where the club is located, their merch says Saratoga Springs, NY. As we arrived, we were greeted by the “R’s Trains Fanclub”, the young members of the club who follow Corey’s […]

A Quick (Or not so quick) Stop at Mohawk Valley Railroad Co

While railfanning with Corey, we made a stop at Mohawk Valley Railroad Co. in Schenectady, NY. I’ve covered the store multiple times before, so I’ll just share a few photos I took. Delaware and Hudson were happy for some attention, and for once they were both awake at the same time. Most of the locomotives […]

Catching Some Trains with Corey: Railfanning on Three Railroads!

Last Saturday (wait, am I almost caught up?) we took a day trip south to hang out with Corey. We had a basic plan: Railfan in the morning and visiting the Adirondack Live Steamers in the afternoon. We arrived at his house shortly after 9:30, but before we had a chance to decide the plan, […]

Railfanning Syracuse, NY: Dash 8s Everywhere!

Before I begin, what is the correct way to indicate the plural of “Dash 8” or any locomotive? I believe it should be “Dash 8s”, but that looks wrong to me. Over Memorial Day Weekend, we visited relatives near Watertown, NY. Of course, my first question was could we take a day trip down to […]

Five Trains in Plattsburgh (Getting Caught Up)

There are a lot of posts I still have not made that are getting old, so here I’ve combined 3 separate outings, both to downtown Plattsburgh. One Saturday afternoon I was itching to get out, especially after missing a grain train that morning. Fortunately for me, 931 was still sitting in the siding at Bluff […]
