Hello mbmars 01Ein Super Video, with many good scenes, mountain rides, and loads (steel sheets), the hood wagon for hot transport .Good shots of the wheel bearings and springs, a wheel with a flat spot.
@mbmars01 I think you saw some nice power in this area. First up was rack train Q210 with NS on trail. The second was Q675 with the Atlantic Coast Line emblem unit trailing (#7889). Awesome!
usually watch yours two or three times and pick up things missed at first. case-in-point; the "flat spotted" wheels. Excellent pick up on your part to single them out and stop the video. I am sure many folks did not know about flat spots, what they SOUND like and what they LOOK like. David K.
+David Kinsey Haha, now I know why some videos have so many 'views'. It's been you! I'm kidding; I also have to watch some videos more than once. Literally, because editing is a lot of work and much of the material that I record is actually cut out. Tracking wheels in reasonable quality is very complicated - I'm happy it worked so well in this case. Admittedly, the train was slowing down, that made it easier. Hope you keep it up, watching and commenting. It's people like you who I make these vids for. I'm glad some people like 'em. That's worth the efforts.
Hay mbmars when you have the time film some trains in my home town of villa rica.this is where Norfolk & southern race there trains through Douglasville & villa rica.
@@mbmars01 landscape has changed quite a bit.now it’s long manifest with double dpus early in the morning & in the afternoon with lots of stackers & autoracks.also you would enjoy seeing them race at night through villa rica & douglasville.
Neat video as usual. I am also a HO/HOn3 arm chair model railroader. Any suggestions online to learn about semaphores and interpreting them? Also, frequently in Blue Ridge, GA in Gilmer Cty up north Ga. Where is the nearest railfanning hot spot from there? Thanks!
Wow, Blue Ridge GA must be beautiful! I haven't yet been there. The best nearby location is Dalton straight to the west, where NS and CSX share a diamond! No idea where to find material about semaphores, though.
+Wolf Williams The only devices one needs are a scanner and a car. The scanner will tell you where the trains are, either by the dispatcher and defect detectors, or by the trains themselves when they call signals. Furthermore, reading signals and understanding the logic of how they are set are essential components as well. It can also be extremely helpful to have some information provided by other railfans. Though, to be at the right spot at the right time can be a bit tricky and requires good knowledge of the railroad line and the way it is operated.

+Werner Sievers As always, you are a very careful reviewer of my videos. Thank you!

Great--I happen to have a Panasonic also, the AG-AC90p.
Yeah those are some of the worst flat spots I've seen/heard. Glad we had such a busy day!
+Wes Hendrix Entirely agree - to both ;)
CSX extra train X675 needs to stop,because Y111 is working on the main ahead!
Great as usual!
+Daniel Kennedy Thank you very much. Glad you enjoyed watching the video.
awsome nice video of CSX trains
Thanks!
Cool video!
+Nicola636128 Thank you! Glad you enjoyed watching it!
Nice camcorder----long reach and fast too!
...plus relatively good image stabilization. That's exactly why I use this Panasonic V550 most of the time.
Great job!!!!
+Wolf Williams Thanks!
Seems like I read that some defect detectors are designed to pick up bad flat spots. Do you remember hearing them report that one?
+Fred Buls No I have never heard a defect detector indicating flat spots, but technically it shouldn't be too difficult to add this feature.
Good footage.
Thanks!
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DID you see the panting of Beavis and Butt-Head on one of the grain hopper cars at 12:08? So cool!!!!
Yep, it's funny.
Hey buddy great job and also good job with the descriptions as well!
Thank you! Glad you like it.
Great video. Cool shots. Do u know what a end of train device sound makes on a scanner?
I have never tried to catch that signal. I don't see much of a purpose of it.
mbmars01 yea. Thanks.
Hay mbmars when you have the time film some trains in my home town of villa rica.this is where Norfolk & southern race there trains through Douglasville & villa rica.
I have actually filmed in the area a few years ago.

Absolutely. Would be interesting to visit the East End again.
Mocking bird was nice touch.
Thanks!

LMAO! Did you see the covered hopper with Beavis and Butthead??????? Bwahahahahaha. Good vid man.
DAMN you beat me to it!! i posted the same thing ha ha lmao!!!!
How long did it took to upload this video?
+The Explore Master Uploading a video of this length takes a couple of hours in my home network.
Hmm okay because me who uploads that long of a video took like almost 5 to 7 or 8 hours to upload.
+The Explore Master Maybe a bit less here, but several hours for sure.
thats what I was about to say.
Did anybody see the mustang at 31:39?
ok.... I'm convinced this guy has a teleporting device! How does he know where to be as well as at the perfect time every video? ;)
