Hi! Welcome to my channel! I have been a railroad enthusiast since my childhood and am still very interested in trains to this day, some 5 plus decades later. I will be posting rail videos from around the country and from my home area in Southern Ohio.
I primarily railfan by myself, but at least a few times a year I get out with my old friend Jaw Tooth, and then there is no telling where we will end up on those trips!
You may also see an occasional video that is not rail related. I like to film video from inside airplanes when we take off and land when I travel for work.
Where did "1960gambit" come from? Well, that was a name I picked out years ago. It`s a combination of an old house number and my all time favorite Marvel X-Man, the Cajun card thrower Gambit.
So, I hope you enjoy the stuff I put up here. Please Like, Comment and Subscribe to help me make this channel grow and share the videos everywhere! I sure do appreciate all the support!

No railfanning today!
I won`t be out railfanning today. As you can see, the snow is coming down. We got 7 to 8 inches on the ground with an additional 4 in process as you can see! Roads are closed, so today is a sit by the fire day!
Stay safe if this storm is affecting you!

The day before the Big Snow came! Long trains and a caboose too! Part 2

Here is Part 2 from my trip to Hamiton, Ohio on Saturday. The big snowstorm was coming on Sunday (and it is coming down hard as I make this video on Sunday) so I figured I better go where I had the best chance at getting a lot of trains. I would have had more, but a woman was hit by a train in Wyoming, Ohio which is on this line to the South. I heard she was in critical condition as of Saturday...
Big Snow on the way, but I got trains all the same!

I spent Saturday morning in Hamilton, Ohio trying to get as many trains as I could before the big snowstorm hits here on Sunday. I figure I`ll be housebound till at least Monday if we get a foot of snow here, especially out where I live in the country where they don`t do much to the roads at all. Anyway, here are the first 3 from the day. Part 2 will be out on Monday! Thanks for watching!

Here are the last 7 I got in Walton, Ky on Thursday with @AdventureswithJoeyBoats We had a good day at the tracks, though it was a bit slower than normal for action, it still wasn't bad! In this video we got fast Rathole trains, including the Reading Heritage heading North in a hurry! We also got a 7300 foot long Northbound CSX mixed manifest with 4 leading locomotives getting it done. I left a...

I spent Thursday in Walton, Kentucky with @AdventureswithJoeyBoats next to the NS Rahole and the CSX Shortline trying to stay warm and catch whatever rolled on the rails. I ended up getting 12 trains in total from an 11 hour long day split between driving and sitting by the tracks. This is part 1. Part 2 will be out tomorrow. I hope to catch some more action before the weekend as we have a majo...

I went to Hamilton, Ohio before sun up on Monday to see what was going on. I ended up getting 5 trains in total including a meet between the local and a Northbound CSX mixed manifest! The local was longer than normal and he had the caboose in the consist today too! The locomotive on the local is an ex-Georgia Railroad GP-40. It is one of the 2 they had at one time in their history. It wasn`t a ...

We had rain and very high wind in our area on Sunday, so I stayed home and out of it for once. I also had my daughter over for Christmas as she and her boyfriend had a severe case of the flu over Christmas. I went into the vault and grabbed these 2 videos and put them together, so you get a bunch of trains from 2 locations. Don`t worry, I`ll be back out there on Monday! I promise! Thanks for wa...

Here is part 2 from Friday in Glendale. I also got the first train in a new spot down the road about a mile and a half on the NS New Castle District heading South. This is the line that you see when I`m in Hamilton and the trains go around the curve and head South. The last 3 trains are in Glendale after we went back over there once the first train passed. It finally got busy over there. I spen...
Clouds, Rain and the TAG Heritage too! It sure looks good!

I spent Friday in Glendale. I was actually headed to Walton, Ky to catch the new NS Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia (TAG) heritage locomotive. I saw that it was in Southern Kentucky from the last report on the internet. Then as I was about to leave the house, I checked a gain and it was already North of Walton, so I had to head to Glendale instead. Before the TAG showed up, I got 3 trains, incl...

The first 4 trains in this video are from last Sunday in Glendale, Ohio. It was beginning to get dark and figured that I would try out my new phone`s camera in low light and see how the video came out. I think it did rather well and better than the Iphone I usually use. What do you think? The last 3 are from a pretty day back in the Sumer from Carlisle, Ohio. We got fast trains and vintage EMD ...

dirty tail pipe lol ( it somewhere else like a train 😂)
Nice one? 👍😎
Did you hear about that train bridge that collapsed?
Yes, I did. That`s a bad deal for sure!
❤❤Thank you Scott! Bringing us the best!👍👍
You bet! That was an interesting one, wasn't it?
Great catch with a great rumble! Don't see 3 DPUs very often!
Thanks Libby! No, you don`t see that very often!
Great video 🙂👍 That first one was a long train😄. Have you ever seen unauthorized passengers in the freight cars...train hoppers?
Thanks Raimo! No, I have never seen anyone on the train that wasn`t supposed to be. I figure that I will one of these days, but as of now I have not! Hope you`re having a great day!
@1960gambit Ok..🙂👍
Make a snowing in the garden video that’s 30 minutes long and I’ll be happy….we haven’t had snow like that since forever :-) All good wishes Tony
Thanks Tony! I could have made a 12 hour video of the snow here. It went on forever!
Good made video, mr 1960gambit. So much snow can be sometimes a beautiful outlook. Stay safe at home and lady, warm and whe gonna see what gonna happen. I read a local newspaper from Cleveland. Thx for this topvideo in Loveland Ohio. Greet from Zandvoort the Netherlands.
Thanks Roelof! The snow looks good, but it makes it very hard to travel when it`s this deep. We ended up getting just over 11 inches of it!
Fantastic train clip.
Another good one Scott. Loved the caboose. I think I counted 184 cars on that first manifest. Thanks for braving the cold for this one.
Thanks Lou! I knew that one was a long one for sure!
Good day to stay home!
You're right about that!
Wow it's beautiful there Scott. Would be great to catch some trains in that but with the cold, the snow isn't going anywhere soon. Maybe get out in some sun in the next couple days. Look forward to more from you.
Thanks Kent. Yep, it`s going to be very cold here for the next week or more so this stuff isn`t going anywhere very fast!
Glad you stayed home for this one. I have yesterday's part 2 queued up so today is good. We ended up with 10 inches in the driveway and 2 great neighbors who cleared it for me.
Thanks, Lou! It sounds lke you got some good folks there helping you out. That can be a rare thing these days. Stay safe and warm my friend!
Time for a gambit copter 😂 enjoy the forced downtime. I get antsy being shut in within hours. 😊❤
I know what you mean. I`m feeling it already!
No snow up here in Rhinelander but it's only in the teens for highs. Hope some of the railfans make it to Glendale either Wednesday or Thursday, I'll be there. Stay warm and dry!
Sounds good! Let me know what day you will be there and I will make it over.
Good one Scott, like always. Caboose and mixed manifest and intermodal in Hamilton. I enjoyed it! Cold there. Stay warm. ❤
I'm glad you enjoyed it, Margie! We're supposed to get down to zero tonight I believe. I am counting the days till Spring!
Excellent video, liked it much. BTW, I'll be visiting Glendale on either Wednesday or Thursday and hope to meet some of the great railfans there. I'll be with my son and told him that a visit to Trackside is a must for food. Can't wait to get down there, might be seeing you Scott! P.S., caught over 20 trains in Trempealeau and almost every one on BNSF had 1 or 2 EOT DPUs on them. CP across the river doesn't seem to use DPUs nearly as much.
Sounds good! Would love to meet you. What day do you think you`ll be there. I will see if I can get some of the guys over there.
😅that was coool Scott.🤣greetz:🍐Peer.🌨☃😅
Thanks Peer! We got a big bunch of snow for sure!
I went out and it started snowing & icing down here so after I got my first train I called it quits.
It snowed all Sunday night here, and all day Monday till about 2 Pm. We ended up with 11 inches at my house when it was done
Loved that caboose leading Scott with its whistle! So cute. Great part 2 from Hamilton you couldn't ask for a better 1st train, a yard emptier. Thanks Scott! ❤😊👍
Thanks Carol! I`m glad you liked it. That whistle is always cool to hear. I bet that guy was freezing though!
Good made video, mr 1960gambit. See this video on monday in the evening and hope that you and lady not in the snow from home. Whe have here in the first weekend first snow than a lot of rain and now on monday storm 9 bft . Pray for the person in the accident in Wyoming. Thx for this topvideo 🚆🚆🚆👌👍💪👍🚆🚆 in Hamilton. Greet from Zandvoort the Netherlands.
Thanks Roelof! We got almost a foot of snow before it stopped. Now it`s going to get extremely cold for the next several days.
Hey Scott, did you find out what happened in Wyoming because I heard that a woman was walking down the middle of the tracks with her headphones on I guess, listening to music or something and the engineer threw the train into emergency and was blasting his horn and I don’t guess she heard him or something but from what I hear he he run over but anyway, my friend y’all stay safe up there cause I know y’all going through some bad weather right now and another awesome video and as always you stay safe out there and watch your back and we’ll see you on the next one
I still haven`t heard any more about it I see these fools walking on the tracks with those ear buds in all the time and I wonder what they are thinking.
@@1960gambitSadly, they're not.
@@1960gambitfrom what I have read from various news outlets the girl was walking along the tracks talking on a cellphone when she slipped on something and fell onto the tracks. She was taken to the hospital with life threatening injuries. Fortunately for her it was not a head on direct hit but more of a glancing blow. And the pros who handle these sorts of things acted quickly and well..
We got a big snow here to and it was filming rjcorman in the snow
Very cool! Stay warm Walter!
Wow, its looking thick out there. Yesterday, it was a little bit of a challenge to drive in with FWD, and I'd be lying if I said that I didn't have a little bit of doing it. Fun times. Reminds me of the winters of my childhood.
It`s a good thing I have a snowblower this year!
@@1960gambit Yeah buddy, good thing is right! You planned ahead. I, on the other hand, forgot to buy a shovel 😁😂
Oops!
Good idea! Just stay in, kick back, and enjoy your day.
I will do that!
I’m going to try to go to frogtown road today
Hope you catch some good ones!
@@1960gambit thanks
amazing Norfolk Southern and csx. trains of the Ohio railfan.
Thanks for watching!
Stay safe, enjoy the snow.
I usually call Snow a bad 4 letter word....2" right now, blowing along at 15-25 mph winds...
I hear you! We are at 10 inches now and it`s still coming down!
It's beautiful watching it come down .. and it would be cool to watch a train plow through fresh snow, but like you, I wouldn't be leaving the house for a while.
We are at 10 inches now and it`s still pounding it down! I may not be out for a couple of days!
Nice catches of trains at Hamilton, and great video! Some good action. Always cool catching an NS Ace leader. I was out in Hamilton yesterday train watching during the storm, and man, the snow was crazy! It started out wet, but hours later, it started to become thick and sticky, and then it started to freeze to the car. I had to pull over to scrape the ice of my windshield wipers.
Yep, once it got going yesterday it was here to stay. We got 10 inches right now and it`s still coming down hard!
Man, it really is! Just looked out my window and it looks like the flurries have picked up yet again. I saw a couple of Chargers and a Grand Marquis yesterday braving the elements, it's nuts!
"Red Rose of Alabamy"?
Nah, it`s called "Leaning on the Everlasting Arms"
I like your Christmas tree in the foreground 😊
Yes, that pine tree was there when we moved in here 7 years ago. It was about half as big as it is now.
@1960gambit it's very pretty do you decorate it every Christmas?
We have in the past. Didn1t get it this year. We were too busy! Lol
@1960gambit it's ok still a nice tree
Good idea! Stay home, safe & warm.😊
Will do!
Stay safe, friend
Will do! I`m not going anywhere!
Pretty. But I hate it
All I can say, Scott, is I'm glad we don'thavethat here. I'm not wishing you bad weather but I have to get to the doctor tomorrow, and with that amount of snow I couldn't get out even tomorrow. Please don't create any health issues for yourself clearing snow. It's easy to do! I'll see you when you get back. Try to enjoy your day off. It sure is beautiful outside! Be safe! 😃😃😃😃😃❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks Gary. I got a snowblower so I won`t be working hard! Lol
@1960gambit That's good! Stay warm. The wind is bad here!!! 😃😃❤️❤️
Beautiful I miss the snow 🙌
I would love to be able to say that 😂
@ 😂
It looks really pretty! Keep nice & warm Scott, see you soon! 😊
Thank you! Will do!
What's all that white stuff?😊
Fly to Ohio and I`ll show you! Lol Thanks Joker!
Thank you. We are seeing a lot of USA weather on UK news channels. Hoping you and others on the other side of pond are able to stay safe and warm
Thanks Alex!
Stay warm Scott. Our boss closed the shop today and I may not go tomorrow either. Cant even see my road
I'm staying home to
That is a very good idea. Is Glendale Ohio under a level 3 snow emergency?
