I like Lash ups with CSX on River line and other states in the area I just when CSX gets put in Middle of freight cars or the end or one train facing backwards without one Locomotive
That was from a Canon SX50HS point and shoot camera. It broke they no longer make that model, but now I got a Panasonic camcorder with 20X zoom seems be around the same for the zoom. Yes I agree it was a sick zoom, that opening scene right at the 0:35 mark made it seem like I could have been railfanning at two spots instead of just one.
@@LibertyRailfan Cornwall is nice, Iona island. There’s a railfan photographer in NJ who photographed the River Line pretty much the whole way, from Bergenfield and Teaneck all the way up to Selkirk. His website was wislew.com He took it down, unfortunately.
@@daf827 I pretty much remember the site, well it's a shame that its down, but there are a few friends of mine who live, breathe the river line lots of their photos are on Facebook. I know today this is a CSX line but I wouldn't mind seeing some diversity on the line in the form of some passenger action just like it was when it was the West Shore RR/ NYCRR.
Thank you for watching Joe, yup I know 4 tracks in a handful of places and double-tracked all the way to Selkirk. Honestly, I think passenger service should be brought back on the line, railfanning today, in general, is sort of stale compared to years ago where there was way more going on with the railroads back in the day. Many Many fallen flags, now defunct branches, so much have changed over time.
Thank you very much Don I was with a tour guide picking out these locations yeah they were some places better than just staying around typical or known locations.
Thank you for watching Tom, yup been replaced by Fred. Only once in a rare blue the Class 1 RR transport "cabeese", like for high profile shipments like high & wides, something really special like for the military, whenever something like a Schnabel railcar load is being transported, class 1 also use for local branch line switching. You gotta go over to class 2 RR like the Reading & Northern where you would see a caboose in use a little more than on other RRs.
@ Thomas Nativo speaking of Norwood, is that conrail (csx) northern branch defunct yet? It ran from I think weehawken up to piermont thru Englewood, tenafly, cresskill, closter etc. It was getting lazy already when we left in 2003.
@@buixrule There is now just a handful of customers left on the Northern C777 I think is the local that runs that branch. The furthest North customer is Supreme Oil in Englewood, north of that the tracks are in rough shape but they do end at the NY border where the trail now starts in NY state. NJTransit wanted to run the HBLR using the branch all the way up to Englewood but I don't think that will happen now.
Harrington Park Nj is where Englewood Healthcare is see my Doctors appointments for Check ups or Blood work which is in Bergenfield Nj or but unfortunately CSX and Conrail back in the early 90s in the 2000s use to the Northern Branch for Local freight service to Piermont NY but the tracks are so still in bad conditions plus the crossings and now they been Cut off and abandoned forever
Thank you for watching Nate I had a blast bouncing around to all the different locations, as for that snow it should mostly be melting for us real soon as temps will warm up to the 50's real soon.. As for just North of here though along this same line the people up there got way more snow than we did here and they are expecting more.
Liberty Railfan Productions Your welcome Adam, this winter has been interesting winter and as for the more snow, I don't know if my area will be getting any, haven't watch the forecast
Thank you very much Phillip greetings from along the CSX River Line.. Yeah only the next town over to Old Tappan from Northvale, were you from Old Tappan?
yes sir. and there is a rail line right there and i can here the train horns all the time and it was about roughly a half a mile more or less away from the house.
Trains here on the River Line some wind up ending in Chicago, some pass through, but many others here do not go anywhere near Chicago. Some trains here go to Selkirk/beyond but come from down south like around Georgia.
Thank you very much Hans for watching yeah this was a fun time watching the trans but also changing locations almost each time. Greetings from along the CSCX River Line former NYC West Shore RR.
Thank you for watching Cats01 greetings trackside along the River Line. I'm pretty sure that further up the line at West Point that the station is still there.
Thank you Thomas Nativo yes those locales are great places to watch the CSX River Line trains at. Also just as good if not better some of those spots right along the Hudson itself are totally awesome.
@@thomasnativo6491 yes you can even so more at night.. A friend of mine lives in Waldwick besides having NJT and NS go up the Bergen county, during the winter he can hear the CSX line too but on some rare occasions he has also heard the horns of Metro-North on the Hudson Line all way right at his house in Waldwick.
@@LibertyRailfan So I went to Ridgefield park and I saw Norfolk southern WS-X and it was doing switching on the Left next to where CSX passes by often on the Nysw.
Speaking of NJT I have seen Norfolk Southern run on the pascack valley doing these local freight service from Hackensack to Emerson NJ to pick up lumber in Emerson NJ
Thank you for watching Thomas yup it is an okay spot a little tight for my taste though to stay at all day long though. The River Line is great though so many fantastic places to see trains along the line.
@@LibertyRailfan No problem but herd that Dumont where you just found 2 trains coming by Madison ave and New Milford ave I herd that installing a Brand new Crossing by Dumont Highschool but im pretty sure they might be pulling out the old crossing out this in 2020
Awesome dude I miss this era back when csx used 4 to 5 or so engines in their consist and no DPUs
Thank you for watching Anonymous Person, yes I agree

In my distant youth, I can remember 4 tracks there. 60 years since passenger service was ended.

Hi Adam,
Nice video and catches. The locations you chose were nice as well! I liked the welcome to NY State K683 banner too.
Thank you very much Don I was with a tour guide picking out these locations yeah they were some places better than just staying around typical or known locations.
I still miss the caboose.

awesome video. sweet catches. sweet 9 loco power move nice. sweet CSX & CP nice. cool. you were close to Old Tappan, NJ.
Thank you very much Phillip greetings from along the CSX River Line.. Yeah only the next town over to Old Tappan from Northvale, were you from Old Tappan?
your welcome. my Grandparents used to live there for more then 60 years. before they passed.
but i know it well.
Phillip Lee ohh I see so it was like a second home for you at the grandparents many visits and great memories..
yes sir. and there is a rail line right there and i can here the train horns all the time and it was about roughly a half a mile more or less away from the house.

Excellent video Adam. I followed on Google Earth.
Thank you very much Hans for watching yeah this was a fun time watching the trans but also changing locations almost each time. Greetings from along the CSCX River Line former NYC West Shore RR.
I remember looking across the Hudson River and seeing an ornate station at West Point. Is it still there?
Thank you for watching Cats01 greetings trackside along the River Line. I'm pretty sure that further up the line at West Point that the station is still there.
distant crossing is new bridge road Bergenfield, home of big trains camera
Yup it is we either try to avoid it while there or try to go to other places along the line unless we want to be on Camera.. :-)
They should install a new Railroad crossing in Bergenfield NJ down by New Bridge Rd it's gonna have the camera because the crossing looks very old
But here's the thing they don't have the money do it
Nice Catches man
Thank you for watching Pennsylvania RailProductions greetings from along the CSX River Line mostly in Bergen County NJ and some in Tappan NY.
I love Bergenfield and Dumont Haworth Harrington park Norwood North Vale Old Tappan and Tappan NY when it comes CSX
Thank you Thomas Nativo yes those locales are great places to watch the CSX River Line trains at. Also just as good if not better some of those spots right along the Hudson itself are totally awesome.

ohh yeah those equipment moves, not really making the railroad any money but necessary sometimes especially when power is needed elsewhere.

Right by Automatic 13
Thomas Nativo curfews are in effect along the River Line due to track work, crossing upgrades etc. 1000-2000 everyday for a while now.
@@LibertyRailfan So how long will the Track work be On the Csx Riverline ?
Awesome
