Welcome to RailFan76. My name is Dr. Anwar Yusef Dunbar, a wearer of many hats who has loved trains since childhood. I am a scientist, writer, and TH-cam content creator. After watching several railfanning channels here on TH-cam, I decided to throw my hat in the ring and join the community of railfans here in the United States and around the world. Not only do I love riding on trains but whenever I see them, I usually must stop and watch. Here you will find railroad and train-related stories and videos of all kinds.

Wow, my starting location is Alexandria as well, and I also take the train up to Long Island! But luckily, my destination town is only 35 minutes from Penn Station, so it is a lot more manageable. However, I mostly drive between those points these days and only use DC/Alexandria and NYP as starting points for much longer journeys on Amtrak throughout the country!
GM @@mikeymutual5489 . Yep. I love this ride.
@@Railfan76-ht1yj Have you done any cross country trips on Amtrak yet? I'd love to see the content!
Not yet @@mikeymutual5489 . I've ridden the Crescent from Charlotte and then connected to Buffalo and also the Lakeshore Limited from Toledo eastwards but that's it. I would like to try the cross country trips though.
Hello all. Thank you for watching my video capturing my July 2023 trip to Long Island using Amtrak and the Long Island Railroad. This is the longest video on this channel to date and a lot of effort went into this one. There are two places where I misspoke. I went back and caught the first one, but I missed the second one in my narration. it's Baltimore-Penn Station and not Baltimore-Union Station. Secondly the Long Island Railroad equipment that I road on was a consist of M7 units and not M9 units. Thank you to CommuterTrainFan below for pointing that out. I'm astounded by the knowledge of the viewers in this sector.
Fantastic video, very well done.
Thank you for watching sir. I know some TH-cam viewers won't watch a video if it's too long, so as I edited this, I tried to strike a balance between length and capturing this journey.
I’m not quite sure why this ended up in my feed but I really enjoyed your narration throughout the journey.
Hello @@andriadaisy . Yes TH-cam works in very mysterious ways. Thank you for watching, subbing and for your kind words about my narration.
Point of interest at 16:08. The Virginia Avenue Tower is a two-story, late Victorian railroad interlocking control tower. It was erected circa 1905 as a railroad interlocking station, responsible for mechanically switching trains between the First Street tunnel connection to Union Station and the main Pennsylvania Railroad freight line along Virginia Avenue. Historic Land Mark. Completely renovated by CSX. National Register of Historic Places.
Hello @@whereisthedollar . Thank you for sharing that. There are so many historical structures along this route. I never knew what that was. Thank you for sharing this 🙏
The LIRR train was an M7 and not an M9 The M9 have the blue, black and yellow stripe near the cab
Hello and thank you@@JustTheCommuter . Thank you for calling this to my attention. I did a quick Google search and probably should have done more homework. If I ever remaster this one I'll be sure to make that correction.
Reminds me of many trips that I have taken.
Happy 4th RRFHG. Thank you for the comment. Yes I imagine you've made this trip a million times. Salute.
I just found your channel, amd i hope you continue to produce passenger rail content, as your commentary and delivery are both thoughtful and polished. I enjoyed hearing your descriptions of both the new and old rail stations in SLC. I make my way up to SLC from time to time and always use transit to get around. I have a couple of rail videos on my channel that perhaps you may enjoy, as well.
Hey Cary. Thank you for watching and commenting on this video 🙏 This was early in my content creation journey on this channel. More is on the way. I'll check out your stuff as well.
Great job on this video! I grew up near Wilmington, so that was always my home-town station. Loved to see how Wilmington looks today, and enjoyed the views along the way.
Hello there. Thank you for watching and commenting on my video🙏 More is on the way. I had fun on this field trip and plan to go back. Thank you again🙏
I loved that you showed the official name of the Wilmington station. Seems like you’re imitating somebody with your narration.😁😁. I found one guy on another video who makes fun of my narration. A pox on him and his ancestors.
Hey RRFHG. Thank you again for gracing my channel. Yes it was there on the station sign so I had to use it. And yes I did borrow your sword style for this one:-) I didn't have time to create a full narrative, so I tried it out. I personally love what you do, especially with that beaver on the Hudson that one time:-)
Plus DUDE you were down here in the DMV. The next time you're down, I'll buy coffee or lunch or something. And I'm still a newbie, but I'd love to railfan one day with you and your gang in the New York City area. Thanks again and salute.
Oh. Thank you for subbing RTRFHG.

Geez, thanks for the nice testimonial there and we guys had fun doing that trip that day and I always try to pronounce that Delaware town correctly. Otherwise I fear for my life.
Years ago, I always love to railfan Conrail west of Buffalo, because all of the intermodal trains ran during daylight up there
I ride the Frontrunner train to work on most days. The Frontrunner train runs just over about 75 mph along the I-15 freeway. They do actually have Fare Inspectors checking passengers fare on the trains. I think you just got lucky that day!
I grew up In Ogden north of Salt Lake City Utah
