Hello everyone! My name is Swade and welcome to my channel! I reside near Cincinnati, OH and railfan when I have time. My channel focuses mostly on heritage/special interest units and steam locomotives. I have some fun things planned for 2025, so stop in and relax for a while!
CSX #4720 We are ONE CSX Leads for the First Time! - Chase
After planning to catch CSX's newly painted SD70MAC #4720 trailing on I142, I found out the locomotive was dropped in Nashville and was set to lead M576 to Cincinnati. After sitting in Louisville all night, M576 took off North across the Ohio River, taking the LIRC over to the Indiana Subdivision. I met the train at the Pierceville CPL signals and chased East towards Cincinnati, ending the chase right before the train went into the yard. This was the first train 4720 led since its release and it certainly drew in some attention. Two railfans (one from Tennessee and one from Illinois) drove over 4 hours just to chase the train.
CSX 4720 is painted as the "We Are ONE CSX" locomotive as part of the company's ONE CSX initiative to unite its workforce. The locomotive sports a blue and orange paint scheme with the logos of 13 unions that CSX works with one the side of the locomotive. This is essentially CSX's version of the NS 4822 "Moving the Weight of the World" unit. While I do prefer CSX's take (the EMD automatically gives it a boost), I would've preferred to the have seen white rather than orange as a homage to Conrail. Regardless, I like the addition of the union logos and am interested to see what CSX puts out next. Enjoy!

Chasing CSX #1834 Georgia Railroad Heritage Unit Leading a Coke Train
มุมมอง 25921 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
After seeing reports that CSX #1834 was leading a rerouted B407, I headed out early in the morning for the catch. I caught them coming through Lockland and St. Bernard, OH before they sat in Cincinnati for several hours. For some unknown reason, the recrew was transported from Russell, KY to Cincinnati to bring the loaded Coke train down the Cincinnati Sub. Once they departed, we chased them th...
CSX #1871 Atlantic Coastline Heritage Unit Leads a Stack Train
มุมมอง 131วันที่ผ่านมา
On my way home from work, I saw that CSX #.1871 was coming South leading an I141. I stopped off in St. Bernard to see the ACL heritage unit lead its train into Cincinnati. I've seen the ACL lead before, but only at night, so I didn't want to pass up my opportunity to see it lead in the daylight. It was very cold, not even above single digits, so I'm glad it was a shorter train. Enjoy! Checkout ...
Amtrak #108 Phase 6 Heritage Unit Leads the Cardinal
มุมมอง 8321 วันที่ผ่านมา
It's rare that Amtrak's Cardinal runs during the daylight, but for the second time in a month, one of the Cardinal runs was delayed almost 8 hours. This delay meant a daylight, Southbound run. Just like the previous daylight run, this one also featured a heritage unit - Amtrak #108 painted as the Phase VI heritage unit for Amtrak. I have seen this one before, but only at night on the Cardinal, ...
CSX #1900 Seaboard Air Line Leading in the Snow
มุมมอง 7121 วันที่ผ่านมา
After getting over a foot of snow the previous week, I headed out to catch CSX M559 in the snow, with the CSX Seaboard Air Line (SAL) leading the way. I caught the train in Trenton, OH right as more snow started coming down. I then moved to Lockland, OH since M559 took the NS line into Cincinnati. The snow was still coming down hard when the train rolled through. Enjoy! Checkout my website! sit...
Rio Grande Southern #41 at Knotts Berry Farm
มุมมอง 30228 วันที่ผ่านมา
While at Knotts Berry Farm during summer of 2024, I made sure to stop and get a couple quick videos of the park's authentic steam locomotive. Rio Grande Southern 41 is a narrow gauge 2-8-0 Consolidation originally built for the Rio Grande Western and was numbered 409. I think railroads are great to see at amusement parks, especially those with real steam locomotives, so this was a treat. Enjoy!...
Norfolk Southern Grain Trains
มุมมอง 6928 วันที่ผ่านมา
While waiting for a Grey Ghost that was originally on NS 376 along the NS Dayton District, a NS grain train showed up. After finding out the KCS was moved to NS 122, I moved to the CSX CT Sub, where I caught another NS grain train. Enjoy!

NS 376 Steel Coil Train
มุมมอง 4428 วันที่ผ่านมา
While waiting for CSX B661 with the Grand Trunk heritage unit, NS 376 rolled by on the NS Dayton District heading for Cincinnati. NS 376 is a unique symbol because while the train technically terminates in Cincinnati, they actually continue North after arriving under the same symbol. They head North with empty coil cars, reload in Middletown, OH, then travel back South as 376 where they then te...
CSX Mainline Train M353 with a Long Hood Forward Gevo
มุมมอง 5828 วันที่ผ่านมา
While waiting for CSX B661 with the Grand Trunk heritage unit leading, the train was held up by M353 due to its leader dying on the single main North of Dayton, OH. CSX opted to have a nearby local remove the leader locomotive from M353 and have the remaining locomotive lead the train on to Cincinnati. Temporary ditch lights were added to the LHF Gevo and the train rolled through New River Junc...
CSX #1853 New York Central Heritage Unit and Foreign Power Over CSX
มุมมอง 24หลายเดือนก่อน
While waiting on CSX's New York Central heritage unit to come South on train M361, we saw a meet between M361 and the Northbound M360. M360 had a CSX leader with 2 Union Pacific locomotives as mid-DPUs. As soon as M360 cleared, M361 rolled around the corner with a BNSF leader. It's nice to see foreign power (and heritage units) running through Cincinnati. Enjoy! Checkout my website! sites.googl...
CSX 1711 Newly Rebuilt SD40E3 on M351
มุมมอง 37หลายเดือนก่อน
While waiting for the New NS Moving the Weight of the World tribute unit, CS M351 rolled South with a very interesting locomotive in tow. CSX #1711 was formerly an SD40-2 that has since been rebuilt by Progress Rail into an SD40E3 designation. These locomotives are designed to be eco-friendly and will service yards in larger cities such as Atlanta and Chicago. This is 1 of 13 original rebuilds....
Amtrak Dash 8 515 on The Cardinal
มุมมอง 77หลายเดือนก่อน
It's no mystery that the Dash 8s in general are a dying breed. All of the NS models are gone and most of CSX's are in storage. Amtrak still rosters a few in active service, but most are captive for switching duties. 515 in particular is supposedly slated for retirement in Beech Grove, IN, so this may have been its final run. Whether that's true or not, seeing these Dash 8s is very rare through ...
BNSF SD70ACe Leads Canadian Pacific SD60-3 and GP38-2
มุมมอง 49หลายเดือนก่อน
On my way home from EnterTRAINment Junction, I saw that NS 262 had departed Cincinnati Northbound with a BNSF SD70ACe leading two Canadian Pacific painted EMDs. The first was an SD60-3 and the second was a GP38-2. Both locomotives were offline, so the ACe was doing all the work. 262 was a long and heavy train, so you can really hear the BNSF locomotive working hard. It seems there was some powe...
CSX Locals in Cincinnati
มุมมอง 36หลายเดือนก่อน
While railfanning for heritage units and other special catches, sometimes you come across a few other trains while you're waiting. Cincinnati has its fair share of locals from both CSX and NS. These two catches show CSX locals over 2 different days. The second catch is particularly interesting, as the train was shoving a grain car while pulling the rest of its train. Enjoy!

NS 7140 Operation Lifesaver GP60 and NS 5194 High Hood - Classic Power
มุมมอง 55หลายเดือนก่อน
Over the last couple months, I've seen frequent reports of NS 7140, which is an un-rebuilt GP60 painted in the old Norfolk Southern Operational Lifesaver campaign scheme. I've also seen reports of NS 5194, which is a GP38-2 high hood. Both locomotives have been alternating between yard power in Sharonville, and locals T02 and T97. On January 2, I got up early in search for NS T02, which I was h...

And 9564
Interesting between kings Island and this park I have been seeing a decrease in care and effort for the railroads the trains looks dirty and not clean it looks neglected
Very cool chase of the CSX 1900 SAL. Man, she's clean. The snow makes the paint pop. I hope we get some more snow before the season is over. Cool video.
WMSR 450 just sounds so badass. Probably my personal favorite. NS 7550 sounds aweosme too, in that N&W or Seaboard style. Sweet collection of RS5T badassery.
Spell out 1980 4 CSX Railroad 2 get Formed!
911
Ns 9779 is deep that one sounds nice
Ns 9550 sounds classic
Csxt 911
great catches and video of this railroads Santa expresses
3194 💪🏻
3194's the best
I love csx 6504’s horn.
Yes
An actual narrow gauge steam engine with a consist at what looks to be an amusement park. That’s pretty cool
Very nice catch of the Cardinal with a Dash 8! Wow! Was this at Covington? Do you know if the 51 still departs at like 1am something? I haven't caught the Amtrak in a long time.
I caught 8952 on the CN Beaumont Subdivision yesterday, it’s now my first heritage unit, not counting CSX 4568.
Great heritage catch and nice video
I think NS 7550 has the best horn
This is zillion years behind China
Nice catch
Nice catch midnight railfan
RS5T is the Definition of imagining your own toy train had a horn
Is it weird i like the horn 💀
Hello Swade. Can you share what location (nearby roadway name) and CSX line you shot this video on. Thanks. Nice video by the way.
I can imitate all of them
Operations! ! Spell out 1980! 4 CSX Railroad! get Formed!
Great catch 😅
Nice catch, I also saw it
Lovely horn on the new heritage
It is literally just like any other Raised Letter K5LA. Nothing special about it.
I saw this train in Wyoming also! I was standing up by the signal
Dang! I wish I knew about this, I would have loved to see the N&W!
Nice catch!
I like NS 9779
Jets goal
Super great catch
I think I saw you at crescent springs, were you were a grey sweatshirt, I was wearing the big blue coat and I was in front of you
I was. I was trying to stay back from everyone’s shot. Great looking unit!
He’s not on here But NS 6920 Better
Awesome catch
Thanks!
Sharl looking heritage unit!! Great catch.
Thank you!
