Thanks! They're usually occasional due to power shortages and in my area we have a UP/CSX run-through Z-train (The ZATLC/Q145 which runs from Atlanta to LA and the ZLAJX/Q180 that runs from LA to Jacksonville) that occasionally have CSX units as well
Great catches especially with the CSX leader, FXE loco, and block letter AC4400CW! Glad you caught it on the conductor's side. Also interesting how 5183 is missing most of its side letters
Thanks man! I was glad to finally accomplish something! And yeah, 5183 might've been in a turbo blowout before. I notice its "N" lettering looks weird.
Awesome video! I told you that you'd get an AC44 on your bucket list leading, I guess I just got it on my first UP train because it was a case of beginner's luck!
Thanks! My luck really did come true! Next time when I get an older UP AC44 leader, I'm hoping it's gonna have an older K3LA since this one had a 3rd gen K3, but at least I was glad to accomplish something.
Thanks! Unfortunately it happened to be us while me, Texas Railfan, *****, and TX Trainiac were railfanning yesterday at Rosenberg. After hearing what the BNSF crews were saying on the scanner, we had to run into the museum and hide there to avoid getting into trouble, and it sucked.
When I was in Conroe last right when UP 4684 was approaching the interlock a UP crew was reporting trespassers at Conroe while a UP Maintenance truck drove by. But the truck never stopped and said anything. There was a man a block away taking pictures of the trains too maybe it was him.
Neat catches! I've gotta say that UP rock train running 2x3 was pretty odd. That ain't the usual for a UP rock train. But hey, now we know it can happen. So, cool catch!
Thanks. Yeah, it was weird to see a UP rock train running 2x3 since those aren't everyday things. But lately I've been seeing a lot of empty unit trains having DPUs, and I think it has to do with cheaper costs and fuel efficiency
This was a pretty sweet outing, lots of action. But yeah, don't get discouraged with your mom. School is just a bit more important. Keep the grades up, show mom you can do it, and you'll be back out doing what you love before you know it.
Thanks! I was glad to catch all those goodies before going on a possible railfan hiatus. Yeah, I know I need to do better in school since it's important for my future, and I'll try my best to get back to the hobby I enjoy. I still can't get over the conflict with my mom, but that wouldn't stop me from doing what I like

Awesome catches! Especially the ZATLC! Gotta love that K5LA as well as that CSX leader!
Thanks! Yep, that K5LA was awesome and so was the CSX leading the Z-train
Great catches! Is it unusual to see CSX in Texas?

Great video! I heard a crew report 4 trespassers at Rosenberg between the tracks taking pictures of trains on my scanner.
