Good news Capitol City Rail Productions the railfannar who caused a train derailment got sentenced to 10 years in prison and his Channel got terminated
As a person who railfans the CSX Philadelphia subdivision and has many of this stuff happen to me as much as reroutes and missing a bunch of good stuff i needed this video in my life… thank you.. 🙏
I have an interesting story. In January of 2024, my city (Vancouver, Canada) had quite a lot of snowfall, which is not very common. My sister and I headed out to a railway crossing to see the Amtrak Cascades plowing through a pile of snow. After an hour of waiting, the train finally passed through very late. What happened is that a truck got stuck in some snow, blocking a railway crossing further down the line, causing the Amtrak to have to wait until it was clear. The waiting was worth it though, as I got an amazing picture of the Cascades plowing through the snow. New subscriber too!
Yeah yesterday I saw a KCS ace duo on my line right after the sun went down…. And they are coming back this way as I speak with peak lightning but I’m heading to work 😂
Bro this is so relatable. It’s worse when you don’t have your license yet and someone takes you out and then it’s false info, or the train breaks down, that awkward moment when you gotta walk back and tell them it ain’t coming…😅
Bro same, I took all summer off to try to catch as much as possible, and I stg nothing of real big interest came, especially on my local line. Then, of course, the one weekend I'm out of town for a college visit all hell breaks loose. In a matter of 3 days at my favorite railfan spot, CSX 1852 lead twice, CSX 1875 lead twice, CSX 1897 trailed through, that weird wrapped CPKC engine came through, the last WFRX mac came through, a REAL Rio Grande unit lead through (this unit NEVER comes anywhere near me, Wheeling 5412 I think it was), two Pan Am Geeps, including 1 in Guilford Rail Paint, came through on their way to scrap, a real and recently restored New Haven FL9 came through on transport to a museum, and to top it all off, on my dead local line next to my house (3 trains a day, 2 are nights and always gevos) had NS 1072 leading a SW9. Like wth, HOW DID IT ALL COME AT ONCE. My luck sometimes lol
This is so relatable the Train In UP's Del Rio Sub Takes FOREVER to Come and Sometimes I Miss the train because of the Stupid Scanner! (Note there is no ATCS Coverage there)
Same for the Glidden Sub. The Houston sub and the Glidden sub has the same dispatcher, and I get confused sometimes when a train is cleared to leave whatever line it was on.
I have a story of bad luck. A few months ago, I got word that CP 8876 was on a northbound around Kalama, WA so I thought it arrive around my area in like 30-50 minutes. Turns out it must've been waiting for Amtrak and other priority trains so that failed.
I very much appreciate your dedication to bringing us such quality work. The photography and graphics are professional, the narrative informative and your sense of humor wicked. Thank you!
Take it from an old geezer who's been doing this stuff for over 40 years, it's bound to happen, which makes the successful encounters all the sweeter and the stories you'll tell the younger fans from your rocking chair someday.
Man that’s always a bummer waiting for a train and the daylight starts to disappear. Great share enjoy the videos keep them rolling. Have a great rest of your day and weekend
Minute - 4:33 On top of cars or people passing in front of frame, is the small dust spots on the censor or the lens that annoy the hell out of me whenever photographing or filming.
Even before you mentioned Starch Rd. I was very surprised to see local (to me) shots in this video - Bruno, HWY 23, and the Intersection of Starch and Jackson were immediately recognizable to me considering I drove that stretch of road between Kerrick and Askov every day for 23 years lol. I hired on with BNSF in 2015 as a Conductor and took my share of trips up and down the Hinckley Sub, even rode the Rapids Turn about 20 times - that one was actually one of my favorite locals because we could usually out-and-back in about 7 hours if we didn't have many setouts at Sappi, Brookston, etc. The longest train I ever Conducted was a Northtown-Superior "freighter" that had 7 units on the front (only two were fully functional, 3 were nearly dead with mechanical problems and the other two were CN's that we ended up bringing online to climb the uphill Nickerson Grade because we were 7500' long and loaded with freight - by Duquette we were barely holding 25mph and knew we were just starting the uphill climb but with their help we managed 35 mph until we were over the hump. Interesting fact - one of those CN's was the old wide-body "Draper Taper" units, with the walkways entirely inside the engine compartment - before leaving Northtown I had to walk through it to knock the hand brakes off and it was hot as hell in there and so loud you couldn't hear yourself yell - at idle lol - that was the only one of those I ever saw during my stint. Ended up resigning my position in 2018 due to a never-ending furlough cycle and now am a full-time TH-camr still living just outside of Kerrick. I could tell you some good stories from those 3 years with BNSF, it was an experience I'm glad to have had but don't think I would ever do again - there was a lot of bad mixed in with the good.
My buddies and I call the KCS Southern Belle business train "The Cockblock Express" mainly because even just trying to catch one runby in the Kansas City region was next to impossible. It seemed to purposefully troll us every time we heard it was coming north. Sometimes we'd wait hours for it and not show, even though scanner said it's at a location not that far away. Other times, it would just teleport to Knoche Yard and suddenly turn around and bolt south before we can even get out the door.
I caught 8099 a few days ago (Southern Railway heritage unit for those unaware) and I arrived at the spot thinking “it should be here in 30 to 45 minutes.” Nope. Four hours. Usually it takes a train to get from Chattanooga, TN to Decatur, AL about 4ish hours, but by this time it was supposed to be pretty close. The train took about 7 and a half hours to go that relatively short distance, leaving me with a lot of time to just sit around. I eventually caught it, and the shots I got were phenomenal. Still a pain in the but though.
The Big boy was headed through Nebraska recently and I took the opportunity to get a couple of pictures with my pickup, I gotta say they came out pretty good especially with my phone.
The common phrase in railroading is always “hurry up and wait.” I used to sit 4 miles from the beginning of the st Joe sub. And SD40-2 trios would sit in the yard all day on a freight while the brand new 5800 series gevos would all flock in south with loads of coal all day instead. I get that. It kinda sucks variety is down so much that back to back aces is all we have most places. I had an SD60M/Oakway set I was sure to get in 2011 and it had a hazmat issue before it even left. So that was annoying. Usually that one guy driving toooo slow will keep us from videos. Right? The traffic thing happened to plenty of times too.
I went out to catch the Conrail heritage unit once, by using a virtual railfan camera I was able to see it coming my way, dude got put in a siding 9 miles south of my location and had to wait for 3 separate trains to pass, what should have been a 45 minute wait turned into almost 4 hours
I just had similar luck with NS D41 in Urbana. I waited all day in Champaign for it, and after taking forever to switch cars at The Andersons, they were done for the day at 6:40 PM. I never saw it. Waste of time.
I often try to railfan at UP Warm Springs Subdivision. No matter what time I'm there, nothing comes by, even though the days/hours I'm not there I hear a train horn ambience coming from that area. I waited 3 hours for a train one time, I even had the scanner on, and yet... Nothing.
Oh do I have a story to share about terrible luck. May 3rd, 2021. I get a heads up from a friend that New York & Atlantic Railway was running a train to Port Jefferson for the first time since 2008 (two GP38-2s, 261 and 268 were running lite to pick up a centerbeam). I eventually convince my dad to drive me to Port Jefferson by 10:45PM, just a few minutes before this test train is about to arrive. But right as I was pulling into the station, my friend, who was giving constant updates from the scanner at this point, informed me that the crew ran around at Stony Brook, the stop right before Port Jeff, and was heading back to Fresh Pond yard, since the lumber cars that the crew was supposed to pick up weren't there. I later found out the next day that another NYAR crew already picked up the centerbeam the day prior, with no footage of this move either. Likewise, I was the only railfan who was out along the branch that night, and NYAR has ran practically no service to Port Jefferson ever since, thus making their last recorded instance of them at Port Jefferson still being in 2008.
2:42 this just happened to me. Tried beating an Amtrak train but got overconfident with how much time I had and failed miserably. By the time I got to the crossing, I couldn’t even see the marker lights and I had only missed it by a minute. Then I took the drive of shame home. Amtrak 172 was leading with a hybrid K5LA.
Finally went railfanning, been about a year or so since my last capture, got some foreign power, which is rare where I'm at. Got lucky, two trains at once. 1 CN Manifest train went into the siding, and the other was NS Manifest train, leaving. It was nice to see. There on my channel.
My unlucky occurrences. Train breaking down before has happened to me around 3 times, and when I gave up, I missed it by minutes. Usually the train was stopped for like 1 hour. The fix took 1 to 2 hours. I have walked empty handed before, mainly my battery was at home, and I have arrived when the train went by
Road shots in general arent great like 80% of the time, but its even worse when your at a restrant or something, and you hear a train from the tracks across the 6 lane road, and you catch it, but theres a billion car's blocking your shot.
My biggest pet peeve is the weather. It will be nice or at least dry all week long. The day I have scheduled to go out trackside? That's the day it decides to pour down rain.... all day long. Doesn't help that I live in Western Washington where it rains or snows for ten straight months out of the year.
This is so relatable! I once went out with my friend to see a CSX grain train, but couldn’t make it to the side of the tracks with the better lighting, so I ended up with the most backlit shot I’ve ever recorded.
This is so relatable dude. Espically missing the train/not making it in time. One day I was chasing NS 6W4 loaded ethanol tanks eastbound in NC. The train had all UP power. SD70M leader and two AC4400s. I missed the train in my favorite spot because the signal was red yet the train was two minutes away so I thought the thing was in a siding. Yet as soon as I left, I heard the horn. So I chased it and followed the mainline in my car trying to get ahead of it. Every time I would approach an intersection the traffic light would turn red as soon as I got there. Like the traffic light turned red just to screw me. As a result by the time I could move again, the train was already 10 miles ahead. So the traffic lights ruined my whole opportunity for foreign power. As I was heading home I looked at the light that screwed me and I gave it the middle finger
Lol, my work is right on our mainline, and occasionally very rarely to do we get streetrunning in the DAY. So I’m lucky. Yesterday I filmed streetrunning at 2PM when CSX literally does this shit at night mostly. I don’t have to leave work when I get off to film, I just stand in the front of our building and let the PTC fitted 70M‘s from our railroad do their thing. Meanwhile the units on CSX do their thing, as stated before; RARELY during the day.
The first thing literally happened to me last night where one of the trains that passes me was 2 hours late leaving toronto and it decided it would finally have ONR SD40s and would show up at 20:20
At least it was only a minivan in the last one, now a Semi Truck… especially because my highway shots are down here involves the Trans-Canada highway, can block an entire unit.
I had an horrible railfannig experience. I was on my hover board to go near the tracks to get the shot closely and the hover board died and i had to carry it and it was far from my house
Trains that come by when railfanning: Gevos, gevos, gevos, and more gevos Trains that come by when not railfanning: fallen flags, heritage units, aces, foreign power, etc.
I prefer commuter and subway railfanning as I live in New York, unfortunately instead of cars cutting in front of my shots it’s almost as if a group of 5 people show up specifically to ruin it

As someone who lives in the big city, passenger trains are infinitely more common here than freight.

Trains that come by when not railfanning: fallen flags, heritage units, aces, foreign power, etc.
Worse for me because the Railway Shutdown in Canada since August 22nd 2024
Dude SAME idk what’s happening
I saw a beansniff gevo and SD70 all the way in western Michigan AND I’m gonna be pulled by a P42
My luck has been very good caught some very good things
*cough* railfanning with Elliott Wolcott by accident
Tactical delay? More like Testicular delay
At this point I feel like all of the bnsf heritage is being drowned out by gevos😢😢😢
How long did it take you to draw your OC?
Bro I almost missed a train today
I prefer commuter and subway railfanning as I live in New York, unfortunately instead of cars cutting in front of my shots it’s almost as if a group of 5 people show up specifically to ruin it
