- While in Folkston, GA filming trains on Memorial Day, I got a chance to take a tour of a brand new Union Pacific C45aH made in March, 2014! The engineer of a parked freight train said he wouldn't tell anyone if I took a peak inside. It was amazing in the cab but it was so quick because I didn't want to take advantage of the engineer's generosity! Also, I caught the long freight train departing Folkston while waiting for the Amtrak Silver Meteor. PURELY AMAZING!
How Nice of you filming that Union Pacific C45AH that's awesome & new too, I realize that when I first watched the video that year, I only saw a tour of the train, but at least I've watched the entire video this time & year, Thanks again.
In the 1970's growing up in Hamlet, NC my friends and I use to love walking the tracks. One day a a train(Seaboard Coastline Railroad) had stopped and had been awaiting a yellow to proceed. My friend yelled up at the engineer, asking if we could come up and look around. The engineer said it was OK. We were middle school age and we climbed up and got introduced to the fireman and brakeman. The tour was great. When the call came for the train to proceed, the engineer showed me how to release the brake and move the throttle to each notch to get the train moving and to sound the horn. It was a slow ride, but we rode that train until it had to stop again just prior to entering the yard at which point we had to get off. God bless that engineer for his kindness shown to my friends and I during the Summer of '73.
Sounds awesome, but it also sounds impossible today unless you live near a short-line.
Happened to me in 2020
Sometimes yes I have seen a train with all locomotives blowing at once.
Oh wow old trucks
YOU ARE SO LUCKY!!!!, I ask some Guys at Norfolk Southern if I can check one out but they ALWAYS say no, But now my grandparents neighbor has a friend who works at the ns training center so maybe one day
awsome video
Cool I would love to get inside of a union Pacific locomovtive
*Nice*
Cool video!
ive seen one when is was brand new only from out side
lucky you are, got a chance to take a your. Good engineer
Could not help but to notice that crossing signal lights and bell were acting up
Yeah. I don't know why, but Main St. has always been bad!
Like a desil locomotive
Good for you! I recall being a kid many years ago and getting permission to come up for a look too. There weren't video cameras then like now, so no video for me. It's important that young people get to experience these kind of things. Now you have an appreciation for railroading which may very well last a lifetime. Trust me, when you're 80 you'll remember being up in that locomotive, you'll see.
At 1:06 your dad looks so tiny what a view!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
I really REALLY am grateful that you put this video on TH-cam, because I LOOOOOOVED seeing the inside of that train!!!! THAT WAS AQWWWWWESOME!!
Thanks for closing the door😂
That train is a power move 6 locomotives
Lol the chicken sound at 1:39
I know! It made me laugh too!
It's me from the future
1:37
You are very lucky to even be able to get in a Locomotive !
That's a ES44ACE
Plz call them ET44ACs
nice job,kid!
I was there Labor Day weekend 2015, i had a blast...saw maybe 100 trains come thru town.....One of the best place to railfan there is just north of town at the Folkston Turnout.....Its where the Jesup sub branches off NW to Waycross , Ga apart from the Nahunta Sub which goes north towards Savannah,......servicing 3 Amtrak tains a day in both directions for a total of 6....of which i've been on Silver Service 4 times and once on AutoTrain.......Folkston is a fun place to railfan and a fun and friendly town.....
sparks1504 I love Folkston
Never go down the stairway forwards, the handrails are there for a rearward decent.
This brings me back to my childhood bro!!😁🫶🏻❤️🏳️🌈🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🏳️🌈
I use to do the same thing when I was your age. I rode my bike down where the freight train would wait for Amtrak to pass. Engineer would let me walk and get on the locomotives while they were idling which was the coolest thing for me and way before all the cell phones and electronics too. Great job on the video and brings back memories for me.
Nice video!. Awesome machine, beautiful photograph, realistic sound. Greetings from Chile, South America.
Witch one is a ES44ACE locomotive
I am so glad you got to see the inside of that pretty new locomotive..
Me too! Thanks for the comment.
Funny how the brand new GEVO was trailing Dash 8 era power from the 90's. lol. The UP ACe with the 9043Mac was also a treat. This is without a doubt a very diverse locomotive consist.
That was so cool. You left the front door open. Hehehehe. Thanks Thomas. :)
when they blow the horn, do all the engine blow their horns too or just the main one the is accupeid by the engineer?
No, just the one that's occupied.
Bruh.
Why would they all blow at Same time
@@iatif1995 It's an emergency there blow the horns so people get out of the way don't want to get killed by train there bunch of idiots There walkin the Train tracks trespassing that's why there blowin the horn that because quiet zone sucks
You did a Great job Filming and presentation,,,
That was really cool, thanks Fanner!
Nice! The yard master at Norfolk Southern's Seven Mile Yard in North Charleston, SC gave me a tour of a C40-9W.
Thanks! That's really cool! I didn't really know what I was looking at while in the cab...
Well since you know those guys, could you please ask them to turn down the volume on that AIR HORN just a little bit? Our Kitty Cat Pookie gets nervous when that thing blows so darn loud......good grief!
Mike Day Um... you can't really turn down the volume on a horn lol
Got inside a C45AH Yesterday
That was very thoughtful of you to keep your visit short. I'm sure you could have stayed awhile longer with no problem.
WHY HE LEFT THE DOOR OPEN OMG!!!! WHAT HAPPENS?!??!?!? THE TRAIN IS FLOODED INSIDE?!?!?!?!
83 cars in case you're wondering
I always wanted to know what was in a locomotive. I assume the rest would just be the engines, right?
They left the door open on that locomotive,
Wow! Thanks for pointing that out! I didn't notice that. Maybe you should read the comments to see if that's already been addressed... Any yes it has. I left the door open because it was open when I climbed up to the cab. Thanks for watching my video anyways.
Why the he left the door open
My favorite Railroad
My favorite part is the cococ, is that from the small van
XLNT show...... we have a train occasionally moving through up here in MidAtlantic that you'd only know it was out there by the sound I always like to hear.... the horn sounds lonesome on foggy nights :) Might also sound like that cuz I love bluegrass music.
and btw you leave a trail of indicators you're from decent stock.... courteous and cognizant. Your parents done well.
do you ever count cars and if so, how many on longest?
thanks for the genuine goods...... trains have fascinated me since early 60's on the real B&O, my uncle a comms engineer working in the caboose, he'd take me to youngstown back to baltimore. I loved the smell of fuel and hydraulic oils mixing with the air in the coachs..... dark blue trains with white lettering. Almost a hangover from art deco, the style of the locos.
what a great day for you ! thx for sharing 👍👍
That was awesome. Reminded me of when l was allowed to climb aboard a U.P. locomotive switching grain hoppers just outside of the railyard in my hometown in Ne. That was about 28 years ago but Ill never forget taking over the controls and actually driving the train and blowing the horn. At 7 years old l'm probably one of the youngest "engineers" to move a U.P. train. Lol
Lucky young man...very envious.
reminds me when i was in my teens .........
That was a cool union pacific locomotive 8124 I love it
6 Units wau :-O
+jens grabo Could just be moving power. I rode on a train once where we had 8 units, only used two up front and a DP on the back. From the look of it the units at the back of the front consist were powered down.
Very Nice. I am old and used to love to see the new cars exposed. OH well times are different.
Great tour
Hey Railfannerflorida I got a trains video
Car count: 83 cars
I used to live 10 minutes from folkeston ga
That was awesome!
Great video. Greetings from România !!
do the have sleeper birth or bedrooms?
No, I believe if they're not at their home terminal at the end of their shift they are put up in hotels.
JBG TRAVELS no hotels man they do the job
JBG TRAVELS they sleep in the engine compartment with the train is stopped. When it is hot outside they sleep on top of the the unit. If they sleep while it is moving they use bungee cords to strap down with.
Set to master control.
Nice video, what an opportunity to get into the engine!
Thank you Scott!
great video! keep up the good work!
Very awesome!!
Paint chipped already!! Does it come with a chip repair kit? Reminds me of my first new car and first f..king paint chip.. damn!
Mark Brown don't you have a thought process that doesn't use vulgar language? Very cheap......
awesome video
What about the shitter?
That's A Pretty Outdated bell i hear on that growling beast
Cheer's From Australia
im Also interested with american trains
#opendoorpolicy
I remember when I was in America we saw this extremely long (by European standards) pass right through the middle of the city. I'd say it must have taken as long as ten minutes for it to pass.
I love this......
It is awesome being in 1
Why the 29 downers? Who doesn't like a kid getting the chance to check out the new era equipment, with the invitation of the crew? Even the Railroad knows this is good PR. And if the crew didn't think it safe, they would have withheld the invite. Great vid, RailFanFlorida. Stay safe!
The door was still open! Ha ha!
The only thing he did wrong was come down the ladder facing away from the unit, you always ascend and descend facing the steps. He had permission to e there for the rest. The RR Dick wouldn't say a word after the crew said he could look around, as long as he didn't touch anything, which wouldn't matter much anyway on a trailing unit.
Yup you left the door opened !!!
Good thing you did not touch any levers or knobs or else you could started the train !!!!!!!!!!!! XD
You need a key to start the ignition
oh really!!!!!!! Is that so!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well to be honest, did it look like he had a key?
Truggins you dont need a key to start one you do need a key to move it
reverser is required to make the train go forward or backwards.., but u can still start the train without one
Amazing!!!
That was amazing!!
and the door still open
3:28
That's the way I found it if you haven't noticed it's been pointed out already. But that's for the comment and watching my video anyways!
C45ah. Better look that up
nice cabin mantab
Was that a boy or girl wtf
Lol why did u close the door that me never close the train cab that why i m so excited
You left the door open XD,you should of entered from the back!
that was awesome!
I was going to say that
This could have been a fantastic video but your camera work is horrendous
Why do all the CSX trains go SLOW?
Josh Daniels because they are just staring out they'll get up to speed but they are only allowed to go so fast also
Josh Daniels It all depends on the situation. It is tough for a couple locomotives (this train only had 2 online) to get a 10,000 ft. train up to speed quick.
They don't they speed up and then go fast
SHUT THE DOOR!!!!!!!!
Did the train crew let you enter the locomotive so you could video tape it?
Nice!
were is the bathroom. were do engineers take a dump when they need to
Believe it is in the nose. thats where it is in a SD45.
Fred Marlin WHAT!?!?
phillyslasher Oh, I din't notice that
phillyslasher the lingo is "stepping to the second unit" it's the classy way of saying going to take a dump. lol
FelipeTheFirst //FTF they have a bathroom inside there
Do they stay in hotels?
huckster78 sometimes they do I drive the rail crews around for a living. Most of the time I take them to the train and they drive it back to the yard where their car is parked.
At 3:30 You left the door OPEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! XD
We're they delivering it to BNSF?
Chip Carr What do you mean?
Thats Awesome hope they didnt get in any trouble, as crews and the companies should be more friendly if possible .. it isnt like the old days .. nive vid
