I am a Roman Catholic priest, of the diocese of Owensboro Kentucky. I am almost totally blind. I am a lover of trains and railroads. I own my own narrow gauge, unincorporated, private railroad on my family farm in Caneyville Kentucky. I love life and I love exploring the world, especially from the vantage of an Amtrak train. I hope my channel brings joy to all who view my videos. Maybe my channel will challenge you to think differently and more positively about blind people. I also hope to spread the usefulness of passenger railroads and the love of trains in general.

Come with us on the last miles from Chicago to St. Louis on the Texas Eagle, on the Amtrak super liner equipment. Thanks to all who made this pilgrimage possible.

Here are a few clips from Wyatt and Alicia Baker's wedding. This nuptial mass took place at St. Mary Magdalene Parish in the Diocese of Owensboro Kentucky on November 23, 2024. Mass was in the ordinary form, but all music and most responses were in Latin, sung by a traditional Latin mass choir from Louisville.

This is incredible! I had no idea your backyard narrow-gauge system was so extensive. What an amazing and inspiring project! I hope you'll be able to bring it back to life. What a sight it would be to see it in operation. Happy New Year!
@@CabooseFalls if everything works out according to plan, my farmers and other parishioners plan on helping me restore the track and hopefully it will be operating by the spring or summer.
Thanks for the layout update Father. Happy New Year!🙏🙏👍
@@RABSTRAINS thanks, more developments will be on the way.
@ I am looking forward to them!👍👍
The camera angle caught the muddy ground in front of the train, instead of the train itself...😐
@@georgejenista9487 thanks for letting me know. I am almost totally blind, so a lot of my videos are honest to goodness Guess work. I highly appreciate the feedback.
That’s a fantastic Layout.You can fixed the red light in that 027 bumper.It’s very easy to open.Then change the bulb.If you have any post war or MPC Trains for oars.Take light out and put it in bumper.
@@OgaugeTrainsplusslotCars thank you! It is a work in progress.
I love your trains! Nice Update! Thank You Father and Merry Christmas 👍🙏❤️🔥💪🇺🇸
@@RABSTRAINS you are more than welcome. Merry Christmas to you as well. Things will keep moving forward, the layout is always a work in progress.
Tanks for taking us on the journey around your property. I am sure it’s nice and relaxing to get out in nature away from all the stress of work. Merry Christmas Father!🙏🙏👍🔥💪🇺🇸❤️
@@RABSTRAINS you have no idea how wonderful it actually is. I'm just looking forward to the day when my narrow gauge railroad is running again and I can start showing you all the progress when that takes place. Lots of things to look forward to and blessings to count.
@ I actually used to back pack up in the mountains in Tennessee and North Carolina to get away from normal life. I was a Captain Firefighter Paramedic for 32 years and the get a ways were essential for me to relax and become one with nature and Gods awesome creation. I do hope your railroad sees a renewal and you again can enjoy the rails on your property. 👍👍🙏🙏❤️❤️ Are you personally celebrating midnight mass at your parish this year? It was always my favorite time to go on Christmas.
Merry Christmas ❤❤❤❤
Thumbs up! 🚅
Awesome Trip. Where did you go to seminary? There is a big one in Cincinnati Ohio on Beechmont Avenue? Thanks for your adventures!🙏🙏👍🔥❤️💪🇺🇸
@@RABSTRAINS glad you are enjoying my adventures. I went to St. Meinrad Archabbey, which is a Benedictine monastery in southern Indiana.
@ Awesome! I attended Catholic Schools through the 8th Grade in Milford , Ohio a suburban area 16 miles east of Cincinnati. I am 60 years old now.
Be Careful There in Chicago Father🙏🙏👍
@@RABSTRAINS more concerned about New York, but it will be OK.
Very Nice👍👍🙏🙏
@@RABSTRAINS thanks
Thank you for posting this.
@@MsCatreona you are more than welcome
Love it
Awesome Father, you in your glory doing Gods Work🙏🙏👍👍 Congratulations to the new marriage and couple👍👍🙏🙏
I assume you still head a parish back in town? Do you conduct full mass in your station on your parents property? Nice layout as always Father! Any new train purchases coming for the holidays ?
@@RABSTRAINS oh yes, I am assigned at St. Mary Magdalene, about eight or 9 miles outside of Owensboro Kentucky. Yes, I do celebrate mass in the train station, along with the liturgy of the hours and other celebrations. The train station serves as banquet hall, train refuge and also retreat space for those who come to spiritual direction to me. It is definitely a multifaceted location. I have even written a retreat that I have given several times at the train station, based on Agatha Christie's murder on the Orient express. I do have a couple of Lionel trains ordered that hopefully will be on their way. I am also potentially looking at acquiring a third caboose. Lots of things on the horizon, stay tuned. Thank you for your interest in my channel. Please share and spread the word.
@ Very Nice. Sounds like you are a very busy man👍🙏🙏🔥❤️💪🇺🇸
@@RABSTRAINS oh yes, always busy. The farm is a nice refuge though.
@ I bet it is🙏🙏👍👍❤️❤️
Merry Christmas! Love seeing all the decorations and the incredible layout.
always enjoy my train rides Father.
Very Nice Father. Looks Awesome! Thank You 🙏👍❤️🔥💪🇺🇸

CSXT1776 "Spirit of our Armed Forces" at point - nice catch!
Narrow gauge railroad, real cabooses, model trains, nature - you've got something special there, for sure! I hope you'll share a little about the history of your railroad in future videos.
@@CabooseFalls ask and you shall receive. I will work on that next week. Thank you for the suggestion. 😉
I'm glad I found your TH-cam channel. Funny coincidence - our cabooses were once used as a tiny home by a Catholic priest as well.
@@CabooseFalls I am glad you found my channel as well. Glad to know that other brother priests have utilized cabooses
Cool
You can have lots of fun on that Railroad Layout.Ever thought about Carrera 1/43 scale slot cars for a highway on your Railroad.I built a slot car Highway on my Railroad

Good one. Thanks for sharing.

@@yolk1753 thanks, I have let my Accent come out a lot more since I've moved back out into the country where I belong.
Church must be rich thats a class act kitchen and dining room you got there.
@@melchezi8818 no definitely not rich. I have very hard-working farmers to do a lot of work themselves. You don't have to have a lot of money to have a nice place.
Sometimes I practice doing things with my eyes closed. Also I practice writing with both hands and driving with two feet, cause dont you know you just never know. Lord blesses us regardless of everything that comes to pass. Praise be unto the Lord Most High.
Im going to follow your family recipe tomorrow!!! They looked great!
