Q&A Questions: Hey, everyone! Thanks for joining me for the Year in Review video! I am once again taking questions for my annual Q&A video. So, if you have any questions for me that you’d like featured in the video, post those as a reply to this comment. Thanks!
Hi coaster fan it’s me Acela2000. As you know, I’ve been watching you for nearly a decade now and my question is what advice do you have for aspiring railfanner’s? Much love have a happy new year.
My Q&A Questions: 1. Do you think Cajon Pass is cool, despite having three runway accidents in 1989, 1994, and 1996? 2. Are you planning on seeing Canadian National 7312 back in operation soon at the Strasburg Railroad? 3. Do you like the Santa Fe 2-10-4s?
For as long as I can remember through grade school I have been watching your channel and as a senior of 2023 it feels surreal that this is my last year of trains in review as a high schooler. Thank you, Mike for being a source for train content over the past decade.
Hey Mike, 3 questions for you: 1. What is your opinion on the amtrak phase 7 paint scheme? 2. What is your favorite amtrak cascades NPCU? 3. What is your opinion on the Amtrak Airo trains? Thank you, and see you in 2023!
Your cinematography skills when it comes to railfanning are unmatched! I hope I can travel the country filming trains one day, your work is a true inspiration to anyone in this hobby. Happy new year 🎉
Happy New Year, Mike! You are welcome to come to Long Island, New York and New Jersey to film more videos of New Jersey Transit, Metro-North Railroad, and Long Island Railroad, and do a train talk episode about all three rail operations.
Amazing video Mike! Full of wonderful catches and scenery that adds to the experience feeling like I’m there in person. Have a wonderful and happy 2023! 👍
thank you Mike Armstrong for such a long work! happiness and good luck with trains in the new year 2023! I've been watching you since 2016 and I really liked your channel the way you make train videos! You're the best railfanner I know! happy new Year 2023!! и я из России, я люблю американские поезда:)
Hello My name is Alexey Adeshchenko Thank you for making such cool videos about trains I've been watching your channel since I was 6 years old. Thank you for giving me my childhood!!!
Thanks for this, Mike! Couple questions: 1. How often are you recognized by crews? 2. What was your favorite shot of 2022? Happy New Year and God bless!
For the Q&A video Hey, @CoasterFan2105, have you thought of filming D&SNG 476 and 493? Because the 493 is back in steam and 476 is now part of the operating roster.
Hey Mike, I've been watching your channel for a looong time, and I've watched the quality of your channel steadily increase to what it is today. Watching all these train clips just reminds me of how great you are at producing content, and how enjoyable you make railfanning. Have a happy new year, and I'm wishing you luck on 800k subscribers. As for Q/A questions, what was your least favorite state to railfan in and why, and (ignoring all temporal paradoxes) if you got the chance to go back in time with your modern camera and technology, what era would you go back to? Thanks for everything!
Hello Mike, a very nice video, at the end of the year 2022, for me as a fan of American railways, it is one of the greatest TH-cam channels I have looked at over the year. I wish you all the best for 2023 and many more fantastic videos. Greetings Wolfgang
Q&A questions 1. Do you have any favorite model train brands? 2. Favorite North American EMU? 3.what do you think of the the new Amtrak Airos and which paint scheme do you prefer? I wish you a Happy Year and a great 2023
How long have concrete ties been around and why haven't they begun to supplant wooden ties ? Are there any switches made up with concrete ties ? Is there a movement to use recycled plastics ties ? What is the future of creosote wood ties ? Thank you C.F. !
Concrete ties were first developed in the late 1800s but didn't see widespread use until the later part of the 20th century. I think there have been some ties made with other composite materials, but not sure how much plastic has been used. Wooden ties will be around for a long time still, but more and more are being replaced over time, especially on major rail lines.
CoasterFan if you make your way to Lebanon oregon soon the albany and eastern will have its second steam locomotive soon as mt emily shay is in Portland
When are you going to visit & checkout Cordele Georgia Hamlet North Carolina Spencer North Carolina (Home To The North Carolina Transportation Museum in Spencer North Carolina) Cowan Tennessee & have you ever went to the Hesston Steam Museum in Hesston Indiana (La Porte Indiana)

What is exactly the year of trains?
Hi coaster fan it’s me Acela2000. As you know, I’ve been watching you for nearly a decade now and my question is what advice do you have for aspiring railfanner’s? Much love have a happy new year.

Do you have friends any chance?
Which Amtrak heritage unit is the first one you saw?
AMTK P42s or ALC-42 and SC-44?

How long have concrete ties been around and why haven't they begun to supplant wooden ties ? Are there any switches made up with concrete ties ? Is there a movement to use recycled plastics ties ? What is the future of creosote wood ties ? Thank you C.F. !

That would be neat! Might be a little longer than that, but you never know!
Happy New Year!
Awesome video
Thank you!
These commuter trains remind me the old Blue Region train in Taiwan🇹🇼❤😭
I have been watching since I was little!
Can you Railfan more trains in Chicago and also Railfan the CTA sometimes when you are in Chicago, especially the yellow line, aka the Skokie Swift.
There will be a few more Chicago videos this year and I will hopefully be passing through this summer or fall!
2:25 Wow that Amtrak looked like it was gonna derail
If it were going 110 mph it probably would, I don't know how they made it through there, they could've died
imagine being in the gangway when that was happening
What camera do you use? -Thanks
Canon XF400 for video and Nikon D850 for still.
@@CoasterFan2105 Thank you!
Love your vids
Thank you!
So much relaxing
What do yall think is the best steam locomotive in america? I think it's Union pacific Big Boy 4014 and SP 4449.
I'd probably have to agree. Those are two of my favorites.
I like every single video
Happy new year of train
The song is so good also happy new year
Thank you! Happy New Year!
In 2023 you have to film Amtrak P42 on Surfliners
Hey Mike I have a question what will happen to the Caltrain original F40PH locomotives when they retire from service in 2024?
Will you be filming Caltrain once the electrification is complete? I was in the Bay Area this summer and saw the wire et al at several stations.
I will try, but no guarantees when that will be.
Thanks coasterfan2105 I actually went to see the big boy in chyane Wyoming
can you film a vid at the train shack in Burbank California
Hey guys,at 0:22…
If you put the music at 1.5x speed,it sounds awesome!And,if you put the music at 1.25x speed,it sounds normal.
When are you going to make a toy trains galore 6
I lovehow you catched the alc42 locamotives
CoasterFan2015 i love your vids
Nice
Thanks!
Good job
What video was form at 19:33 for the lake shore limited?
It's a clip from when I was in Chicago in June. I haven't posted it in another video yet.
13:49 Where are we?? There’s an NS Heritage Unit, and two BNSF’s, I’m confused??
Nice video
What is your favourite car?
CoasterFan if you make your way to Lebanon oregon soon the albany and eastern will have its second steam locomotive soon as mt emily shay is in Portland
Do you think you’ll travel out of the country the film trains?
Hello coaster fan 🙂🙂
Hello!
Nice Video
☘️🎄🇮🇳🎄☘️
Thank you!
On the first clip why was amtrak 30 on dnsf power moves
It was disabled the previous night when it hit a tree. They placed the locomotive on a siding and BNSF towed it out of the mountains the next morning.
Thanks for the reply
It's the end of 2022!
Yes it is!
When are you going to visit & checkout Cordele Georgia Hamlet North Carolina Spencer North Carolina (Home To The North Carolina Transportation Museum in Spencer North Carolina) Cowan Tennessee & have you ever went to the Hesston Steam Museum in Hesston Indiana (La Porte Indiana)
I'm not sure, but those all sound like neat places to visit!
