A Mexican Standoff: NS, CSX, A Lifesaver And Two Canadians Meet At Taylor Yard

[@TheNomadicRailfan]

Fantastic video once again! Standard cabs on all three trains...hard to come by now. Sweet CN cowl unit too. Nice catches!

[@Trains21]

Thanks, Scott.. Yeah, the standard cabs almost make the OLS, CSX and CP irrelevant!

[@iusetano]

All the major railroads in the north east were represented. All GE powered meet. Great catch. I'm envious. Excellent video.

[@Trains21]

Thanks, Hans.. This is def one of my personal favs and I specifically shot them meeting here when I heard what each had for power.

[@rnrailproductions5049]

Great video!!! Man seeing standard cabs on class I railroads feels like a blessing to me.

[@Trains21]

Standard cabs indeed.

[@rnrailproductions5049]

Trains21 Yep, the only widecab I could tolerate is the cabs on MLW M420s, Certain CN and BCR C44-9s, and SD40-2W and GP40-2W locos.

[@Trains21]

Thanks, JT

[@JTTheRailfan]

Trains21 you're welcome

[@jim874]

Cool power ! To think a standard cab would be something to comment on. That's a huge junk yard up on the hill.

[@Trains21]

That's Anthracite Auto.. Big, yes.. It's also a huge eyesore which is why I don't shoot here in the winter.. In the summer the foliage hides it.

[@jim874]

LOL I know one teenager who would think it was Disneyland NE

[@dannyholt105]

Man, pretty rare to see UP and NS lashed up together, isn't it? Those were some really great catches AC! Guess I missed this one when my internet was out. Cheers, Dan

[@Trains21]

Not on the Sunbury.. UP shows up all the time one this line.. Often leading the trains.. Thanks for the comment.. Cheers, AC

[@3StepTDC]

Great video AC Nice meet!

[@Trains21]

Thanks, Tyler.

[@BerniesModelRailroad]

Great catch and nice view!!

[@Trains21]

Thanks, Bernie.

[@bbrockRailFan]

Love NS and wow a spartan cab, is that a Dash - 8?

[@Trains21]

Not just one spartan cab, but three!!.. One on each train!!.. No :-( all were Dash-9s.. We could only be so lucky.

[@jimdevilbiss9125]

First time I've seen your site excellent. One question what are you standing on at the beginning with the tarps and ropes ?

[@Trains21]

A small mountain of rock salt.

[@geflower8291]

Great catch.

[@Trains21]

Thanks.

[@kenamaro]

Cask car 15:58. Cool !!!!

[@Trains21]

Yeah, they used to be common through here but not as much anymore..

[@TesseraktGaming]

This is not a Mexican Standoff. A Mexican Standoff would be if the two or more trains were all blocking each other and there was no alternate route, thus bringing them to a halt.

[@Trains21]

I'm aware of the definition of a Mexican Standoff.. I was using the term as a fun metaphor to describe the situation. We had 4 unique locomotives (2 on each train) pretty much in each other's way.. Boy do I love nitpickers.

[@TesseraktGaming]

Yeah. I get really picky sometimes, sorry. I just wasn't sure if you knew the exact term or not.

[@Trains21]

Most certainly.. No prob.. I'm just glad that we didn't have to fight over it! LOL

[@TesseraktGaming]

There's enough fighting that goes on in TH-cam comments.

[@kenkirkland1056]

Another A-1 video!!!!!!

[@Trains21]

Thanks, Ken.. You're much too kind.. But don't stop! LOL

[@johndeere709]

SWEET

[@Trains21]
