เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 6 ก.ย. 2015
Hi, I'm Andrew, better known as Andrew Raila 'Bammers, but can also be referred to as "The RocketCity Railfan". I am a Railroad TH-camr from Huntsville Alabama(AKA "Rocket City, USA"), and college student in Altoona, Pennsylvania. I have content like, Train Museum tours, creative steam locomotive top 10s, a series called "Garbage on the Rails" where I talk about unsuccessful locomotives, Engines of the Pere Marquette, and locomotive biographies. I also showcase Lego train MOCs of mine, as well as occasional music videos and photoshopping tutorials.
If you enjoy any of that on TH-cam, please subscribe for channel support.
I am a crazy Big Boy fan, longtime Pere Marquette 1225 fan, and recent Conrail and SD80MAC fan.
I used to do destruction videos from the start, but then I quit at doing them, they didn't get too many views. I also used to be a World of Warships TH-camr at the same time, but I recently moved it to my 2nd channel.

Happy Birthday America! Too bad I had little time to slap this together during my internship, but it serves. We also could also need better leaders right now to further justify my own patriotism and everyone else's.

What your favorite GE locomotive says about you
7:28 - LMFAO!!!! I'll take note of that!
Damn you look really cute in this picture with Thomas.^^
I tell ya what the point is: Doing the same with it like with the BR standard class 8 'Duke of Gloucester'. Take the crappy locomotive, preserve it, rebuilt it to become better and show the world what people that put their hearts into the right place can do!
28:44 that is until I buy the 759 and restore her in Cleveland Ohio
I think Rebecca from BWBA is a better character, than the E2 is in operation!
Your most infamous video XD!🤣🤣🤣
14:00 - It was your greatest flop yes, but it also was your greatest fix ever. Thx. so much for egnowladging the truth and getting it right. The community highly appreciates it. Also guys: Give this video a few more likes. I shurely did.^^
14:17 - Too bad. You ain't changing my love for this unique piece.🥴😝 Deal with it.🤪
Could I use some of the footage? I wanna write a song about the Centipede and still have no footage for it.
Could I pls. remake the main part?🤣
I LOVE the intro! Really like a locomotive you'd discuss! Well done!💖💝💕
WAITR GERMANY?! We have 2-12-4's?! (No seriously reply. I never saw these.)
Could I pls. remaster that?
Pls. could I get the links to both of the bacvkground songs?
The other main failure was the poor state of track...Rails too light, poor ballasting, poor rail attachment to cross-ties. Unable to support Axle load and lateral motion on even large curves.
Nsw 58.class or 34.class could be interesting
I picked up a MTH premier centipede set, great for model RR, like you showed if engineering would've been better, concept would've worked especially for traction standpoint, but Baldwin was more interested in steam
So basically the SD50 ruined EMD’s bright future
I think I prefer the Japanese railway 4-6-4 C62 over the prr k5
However what the bell sounds like
I really like the white red and green paint style because it gives me Christmas vibes❤
And R.I.P Jerry Joe Jacobson 1943-2017
R.I.P F Nelson Blount 1918-1967 youwill be missed
I’ll build a 4-24-24-24-24-24-4 locomotive.
The prototype Thompson L1 Adriatic tank was fine but the production batch were worse than the prototype
This is a certified frog snot moment 😂
What about Decatur, AL? It’s about thirty minutes away from Huntsville and you get roughly a train every thirty minutes, sometimes more or less. Plus, you get both CSX and NS on one track. Myself and a friend of mine goes out there every couple weeks and railfan and we usually catch about ten trains.
Very interesting, but one suggestion... tone down the over dramatic narration a bit. Please.
You're right. The Pennsylvania Railroad LOVED donating, but couldn't do it anymore at a certain point. Without that mismanagement the S1 would be still here.
Can I please have a link to the usable NYC footag? (I need this help due to problems with getting copyright right.)
Could I give this a makeover? I can barely hear a thing partially.
nah! re-edit this
Eck EVEN the C855 by ALCO had less problems than the SD50! That's how bad they are!
I'd even call the SD50 a scam cuz they knew it was bad, but were greedy.
Americans love ruining locomotives that ain't from their own railway
#15 is not actually identical to #14. #15 had a different more unique “flat” smokebox door compared to the other BEDT porters
source to the og audio?
It’s weird that some of these clips have modern (not preserved) locomotives that are still in non-retired service.
At 8:55 the C&O 1309 is on static display near Huntington WV second to last steam locomotive built by Baldwin, a local group maintains her appearance.
Is that James the red engine
What grade did you get on your presentation of the SD-50 disaster? Did your teacher agree with you?
The Lionel model 675,according to the service book is modeled after the K-5. Not the K-4.
Hearing the audio of 5629s whistle is rather spooky, like the ghost of the engine is out for revenge on the one who had abandoned her.
So The Devil Clipped an Angels Wings And the devil let her rot Thats sad 5629 Deserved Better
