Wow! More great stuff. Spent a lot of time there in the 70s-90s.
Another awesome video from TRRS! I love the production quality, keep it up!
Couldn't agree more. I always enjoy coming here because I know I get top quality, educational material.... every time
Well done , good video & audio combination . We like how you include the signaling during the various movements . Helps us better understand the systems . Make more !
Great video man!! Cool shots and catches man!! Keep up the great work man!!
Reminder Set 😀😀😀🙂👍🏼
Awesome catches, shots, & video!
Excellent video! Beautiful images with trains and nice scenerys! Well done! Thumbs Up
Greetings from Romania
Andrew
Great narration!
Very informative thank you.
Awesome catches man. I was in Wisconsin that day fanning CN actually. I recommend you get out to Stevens Point. Its a really cool line to railfan. Cheers from Graeme Case
Nice catches of the trains.
Cool views!
Another great video! Let me know when you’re up by northwestern Wisconsin! I’ll be out filming in lady smith.
I like train videos videos on TH-cam 👍
Very well shot! Common up to Grayling this summer if you'd like to catch the Yard Job, ill show ya around!-David
great video liked 👍🚄🚄
Awesome!
🤠☀️ hello from Arizona
Had you ever thought of a trip to the CN Kingston Sub?
6:52 that’s like right by where I live
1:04 beautiful
I was hoping for more information on this sub.
Awesome video man! Love Canadian freight operations. On the list of things to see and film for future videos for me. The states are also on the cards. Have to do Europe as well. So many places I wish to visit in the future. Your freight trains in the states and Canada are bloody massive! Can’t wait to see them at some point. The manifest trains are of most interest to me. Such a mixture of wagons on those trains. I mean love the other trains too but you rarely get to see a variety/mixture of freight cars like that on the trains in Australia. Makes for interesting railway modelling operations I must say.
You’re more than welcome to check out my channel if you wish. Lots of Aussie freight trains from mostly South Australia where I live. I do have other videos as well which can be found my playlists. Enjoy!
Thanks for sharing with us and I look forward to your other videos. Cheers Caleb
You should railfan BNSF's Aurora Subdivision.
More from CN please. Maybe Lansing area?
How do you find a bridge with so little traffic to film off of, good stuff. Love the deer to XD
It's a dirt road, and one of those ancient timber-pile bridges, that's why! Kinda out in the boonies. We'll see, I may end up heading out there to hide at some point for a day during this virus crap
That bridge is haunted. I've been there many times before and have seen and heard some very weird things.
You should record the West Virginia and Ohio CSX and northfolk southern line
Are you gonna film some Union Pacific in the Powder River Basin
SD70Ms are the worst locomotives to work on. Especially UP's. Down here in Houston, we are usually happy anytime it's a CN motor leading.
They look weird too, especially those with top-mounted centre lights (as opposed to the nose-mounted). The newer SD70ACe's have a far better appearance.
Don't drink the water! 2:17 deer!
Have you thought of traveling to the Feather River Canyon in California?
I’d love to someday!!!
Thornapple River Rail Series That would be cool. UP 844 and UP 3985 have trekked through the Feather River Canyon. Their first time was when they traveled to Sacramento for Railfair ‘91. UP 3985’s second time was when it was on its way to and from the 1992 NRHS convention. UP 844 has trekked the canyon a few times since then. I have a feeling that the rails are strong enough to hold the weight of UP 4014.
When are you gonna film some Union Pacific trains in Wyoming
Do the train drivers blow their whistles for you?
What do trains mostly haul in Michigan ?
Assuming the yellow ones are car haulers ?
Pretty much everything you can imagine
at 10:24 the second old mule was looking very tired and sagging, looks like it's overdue for retirement lol
