Thanks so Matt, to God be the Glory, and yes fun was had by all, even saw some.fire.trucks and ambulances
Dude rowan you should Railfan at Brunswick Maryland I came there every time
Since PSR the trains have become giants!! Not complaining just very interesting! Love the video Rowan!!
Me either that was probably the longest I've put eyes one
Enjoyed it! Lots of good stuff up close.
I wish I could've come... I'd be the only one from MA though.
Thumbs up Rowen!!!!
Great job Rowan.
Congrats on 30K Brother Rowan! Very happy to see you guys had a great time. If you ever get the chance, come on down to SoCal, and we'd love to show you all the good railfanning spots. All the best!
One day!!
What a great family activity, I was introduced to it by my dad 60 years ago and now my children are enjoying it, including model railroading !
Awesome! ....as it should be!!
FUN STUFF!
I love these videos, Railfan Rowan!
I can't stop watching these!
Thanks so much my friend!
@@RailfanRowan You should come to route 460 just past where general mahone hwy and Waverly in the town Waverly intersection and the tracks are right next to the road and the NS AND AMTRAK TRAINS ARE FLYING IM TALK 50- 80 MPH MAN ITS CRAZY
I have been watching your videos for many years and they are all awesome.
it was cool for you to come up to ashland,va i live here in richmond,va and i have videos of trains up there in ashland so congrats for 30,000 subscribers dude and keep the videos up
Thanks a ton, TGBTG and will do!!
1:26 I live near North Bergen 😳😳😳
Who saw them on the VRF cam?
Sweet I wish I was there
Now that’s what I’m talking about hallelujah what a great time and beautiful scenery as well thanks for sharing!🎩🎩 off to ya🚂🚂
That's great the way most of the train drivers will acknowledge their railfans... Great stuff thanks for posting
Nobody's wabes at me
Congratulations on 30K subscribers, Rowan! I love your content, and please, keep it coming!
Thanks Damien! Will.do, to God be the Glory
@@RailfanRowan As a fellow gear jammer, keep the dirty side up and the greasy side down.
I love trains video rowan there so co
That empty coal train was definitely a "HEAVYWEIGHT" even not being loaded! Very impressive w 4 LEADERS, 1 MID DPU plus 3 more towards the end! Lots of horsepower running the rails. Nice catches and thanks for sharing this video ROWAN!
You're most welcome, Shawn thanks for watching!!
@@RailfanRowan I'm a BIG FAN of your channel and you never disappoint! You always bring the BEST to the table! Keep up the AMAZING work my friend and I'm viewing this from the 1st state of DELAWARE.
Nice to see you back
Ain't never left ;)
Awesome catches Rowan! I also caught CSX Q422 @ Muirkirk & it had a reactivated C40-8W trailing.
The premier railfan channel!
That's right!!
You should go to Wyandotte Michigan! Very good railfanning spot!
Great to see you and another new rail fan video of yours. Really good catches of the trains and your usual fantastic job of narration. God bless you friend and thanks for sharing this with us all.
Your welcome CC, as always!!
To Christ be the Glory
Good railfanning with you yet again Rowan
Come on down to Birmingham, AL, lots of rail action
At 3:19 the Carolinian now has a baggage car at the end, just like old times, she’s back!
Love that!
Great video as always Rowan. If you’re ever in the area of Berea, Ohio, that’s a great spot. A CSX and an NS main right next to each other, the place sees around 100+ trains a day.
Berea is on the list!!! Thanks!!
@@RailfanRowan Looking forward to it :) of course
Maybe we can meet each other at Conway one day
@@RailfanRowan If you’re able to come, in a couple days on the 30th of June there’s gonna be a big Railfan Meetup :)
@@RailfanRowan If you get up that way get hold of me, I'm close (Akron). If it's the right day of the week I can show you some spots on the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic. But if you come up for NKP 765 in September you're probably going to be disappointed, the local cops block off just about every decent photo location in the Valley from the fans because the CVSR hates the fans; this is seriously true. If you're not buying a ticket they don't want anything to do with you, even if you bought a ticket for an earlier train. You should have stayed in Ashland another hour for the Southbound Auto-Train, usually through there 5 to 5:30 or so. Unidentified Amtrak train at 8:00 was almost certainly #81, Southbound "Silver Star".
G'day from Down Under Rowan, yet another great video mate, love watching Ashland on the VRF cams, first one I ever watched was La Plata, in Missouri. Congratulations on reaching 30 000 subscribers, a considerable achievement, well done. Love ya, J.
Thanks J! I appreciate you support from "Up Over". I have several Aussie friend on the platform actually, one is rather close! To God be The Glory
Cool Rowan railfan from Nevada
Awesome video Rowan glad you got to go to Ashland wish I was there to film with you but i hope when ever we meet again we can catch trains together
Yeah man!! Thanks for joining us on live!
Yeah man!! Thanks for joining us on live!
@@RailfanRowan yeah no problem I saw you on the live cam
Awesome bunch of rail fans! Ya got me smiling again Rowan!!! Thanks & All the Best 😉😁
Thanks Gary! Come out and join us sometime!
For your 40K Subscriber Railfan rally you should come to Fairport, NY there’s about 30-35 trains during the day! Freights, Locals, Amtraks, And lots of cool catches to be seen everyday! Your best bet would be the “Fairport Train Viewing Platform”. There’s also tons of places to eat in a walking distance! You should definitely check it out! Also I live in the area and have many videos from there so if you want check those out to see what it’s like!
Q031 Was nicknamed the Happy Engineer Rowan so if u go there and see Q031 U should get a hornshow /wave
Just was thinking about you 15 minutes ago!
God bless all of you!
Help
I went to Railroad Days in La Plata, MO
Congratulations Rowan on reaching the 30,000 subscribers point! You and your fans had a great day. Thank you for sharing the fun with us!
You're welcome Thomas and thank you for your continued support!! To God be the Glory
that Q031 had engineer john stone
This came up in my YT suggestions...and i thoroughly enjoyed it! Thank you. Ashland is a cool town!
Thanks so much!
Awesome! I just left Ashland. Go 1-2 times a week. Great times. Should have gone to Doswell to the Buckingham Branch yard and Diamond from the old RF&P and C&O crossing. Happy rail fanning.
Aaaaaahhh that video comes out very soon ;) stay tuned!! Thanks!!
I went to college in Ashland. I was a railfan way back in the early 1980s. I have some cool pictures from back then. I have a good one of Amtrak going through in a snowstorm there.
That's so cool!!
I should have been there! At least I was at Cresson with you!
"EXTRA" - ORDINARY - "SAUBER" !!!!!!! = That means for sure:Top Class Video
Awesome catches, look like you enjoyed with other railfan’s hahaha!
Thank You
Excellent video. It's nice to see fellow railfans displaying such great camaraderie.
Thanks Nicolas
TGBTG
Another great video Rowan. Looks like fun was had by all.
Zoh yes definitely, to God be the glory!
Great action packed video, Rowan. --and friends Thanks. Don't forget the sunscreen; the Mid-Summer sun is ferocious!
Yes that mid summer burn is still burning my white skin 😂
Thank you TGBTG
Tropicana previously had a Designated Train but due to PSR,👎it was Added to another Daily Train.
Yeah I remember that.... Sadly Ive only seen it once, in 2017, I should post this video!!!thanks!
The Tropicana Juice Train. Check out Distant Signal. Danny Harmon has a video on the old Juice Train.
Yoooo that thumbnail is SOOO EPIC! You are my fav Railfanning TH-camr! thats why i started a channel :)
Thanks buddy, glad you appreciate it!!
I don’t even like trains but somehow I got here
Sir, I just came across your channel. At Ashland, Va. Subscribed, today on 3-8-22 How old are you, and how long a Railfan? Where are you from. How far do you travel to see trains? Sorry, to many questions. Chris Abernathy here. Baltimore. Md. I'm 67. Don't feel, or act it, that's for sure. My Dad loved trains. Especially steam trains. He had the American Flyer and Lionel sets. Those were the days. Do you get to see many, at special events? Amazed at the many young Railfans with you there. Thank you.
You should come to route 460 just past where general mahone hwy and Waverly intersection and the tracks are right next to the road and the NS AND AMTRAK TRAINS ARE FLYING IM TALK 50- 80 MPH MAN ITS CRAZY
That's awesome I wanna come!!
@@RailfanRowan I railfan down this way.
This is Dan's Railfan Adventures, but I wish I could've gone. Just a trip that was the next weekend happened, and we were tight on money and time. Next rally I will be at though!!!
What a nice suprise! A video from railfan rowan! Congrats rowan on 30,000 subs. Looked like a great rally. Im having to work 6days a week, otherwise i would have been there. I hope to meet you some day. God bless you!
Todd, I understand! is why I have not posted in forever also! thank you!!
Very nice as always here's an idea I do this all the time try dancing with you and the shot of the train😁
Lol, one of the guests was dancing a bit!
Terrific catches! Terrific to see a lot of railfans railfanning at Ashland on a Saturday with beautiful weather. I like how railfans from North Carolina are railfanning in other places besides in North Carolina.
Lol same on that last point!
Thanks I much, to God be the Glory
@@RailfanRowan Your Welcome!
@@RailfanRowan Cool! Your Welcome!
Awesome video...former Conrail/CSX locomotive engineer here.....
Thank you 308HIT, future conductor here! Well hopefully one day ;) TGBTG
@@RailfanRowan Pro Tip: Learn their rules well. EVERYTHING is about safety from getting a cup of water at the cooler to switching out a train to operating a locomotive... always remember that!
You can thank me later. If you have any questions about anything I'm here for you good luck my friend.
Always more fun with a crowd. Wish I could have been there. Still great to be able to watch the rally on video. I did manage to see y'all when you walked in front of the VR camera at Ashland and waved. That was great. I hope you're thinking about what to do at 40,000 haha
Good Video Rowan
@Railfan Rowan Nice Catches, I've Railfanned Down In Ashland Before.
oakwood ga has some trains but it only gets a few NS train but we do get a daily BNSF
Check out the train cam from Ashland.
I do miss the old RF&P trains go through.
They awesome;)
Congrats on 30K!
Thanks yo!
Thanks yo!
Wow Rowan thanks for sharing I might need to check out Ashland VA some day sorry I could not come.
That's alright buddy, it was fun
Rowan I’m glad it was
Hi
Maybe a new idea could be a short about what different signals mean: high green; high yellow or red. Just a thought. I enjoy all your vids. Thanx!
Ahh thank you for the suggestion, I hope to have inside details on this very soon
Cool stuff man! Great catches!
I saw a southbound double stack train in Alabama
Go to fostoria Ohio. Lots of trains there. 70 trains per day
That's awesome!!
Cool.
For the next railfan rally you should go to Harpers ferry West Virginia
HARPERS Ferry is amazing!
Love Harpers Ferry! Would love to go for a meet but would need about a months notice as I now live on the Eastern Shore.
I was there a few days ago! You can’t beat the view from the Maryland Heights Scenic overlook!
Awesome 👍 Rowan always love your videos
