- Norfolk Southern 361 Southbound manifest comes around the curve at CP Lowe on track 2 and before they get to the crossing Amtrak Crescent #20 comes flying by them on track 1. Sorry about the talking in the video, some guy walked up just as I was about to record this and wouldn't shut up during the video!!!
It's kinda funny if you listen to what he says, the guy was a total idiot and had no clue what he was talking about!

Great video, it sounded like the trains were having a battle of the horns! But seriously that guy wouldn't stop talking, you should have push him in front of Amtrak.
Great shot! You handled that much better then I would have...I would told him to shut the hell up till I get done recording! Loved the meet though!
Sweet video!!!! I love see NS 361 went to slow approached for allow to Amtrak pass them or something lol. Ah, sorry I can't hear what a stranger talked you a while you filmed on AMTK #20 and NS 361 because I am deaf :(
Dude you had everything in this video, Train race, horn dual, and awsome crews I bet. Awsome video Gene as always bro. I would tell that boy straight up to shut the hell up or get away from me lol.
Oh, dude...he really just goes on and on. Kind of amusing now, tho I bet you had steam comin out your ears by the end. Shoulda got a picture of him. Great train footage, as always, esp. the meet with the horns.
@benschlechter Yes it was the 'Southern Crescent' until the late 1970's, and I believe it was if not the last passenger trains that Amtrak took over.
Great shot with the "dual horn attack"!
And that talkative fewl just adds comedy to the mix. :)
Great race and horn actuon
@mondongonegro Thanks again! I like this one a lot also, if that guy wasn't talking through the video it would be in my top 10!
Great video! What an awesome overtaking! Side by side! Great horn battle too! As for that person. Its pretty simple, your by the tracks, there's a train coming and your filming. Obviously your a railfan. Then he asks you what your doing. Your busy and trying to get a good shot and he bothers you and you were nice enough to even talk to him. Then he gets mad and calls you a mofo. That is very disrespectful. That dude is an idiot. Next time he talks like that he'll probably get a fist to the face.
Great catch Gene! You need to wear a sign:" Railfan at work-please do not talk to distract"
its like a horn war between the Amtrak and the ex.Conrail unit amazing catch Gene.
Michael Scott
Awesome shot, Gene.
Great catch, with the Ex-Conrail and Ex N&W. Guy didn't really seem to have a clue about what he was talking about. If he was up there everyday, how was he not a "Train Fanatic"? Anyways bud, great catch, awesome videos, and defenitly subbed!
Take care,
Ryan
@AmtrakCal462 Thanks! At least you couldn't hear that jerk over the horn as they passed by...
OMG! A CSX SD60M and my fav CSX unit were paired together stopped on the Pan Am Worcester Main in Massachusetts, and it was departing, right when it was blowing for the crossing, some lady is like "Whatta ya doing!". I was about to go nuts, I was waiting for 2hrs in 10 degree weather for that thing and she wrecked it. But yet the line is 10mph so I just caught up with it later.
@oceano336 Yep for sure! Thanks for the comment also!
I have a Norfolk southern railroad spike
"I've always wanted to jump on a train like that, just to see where it goes".
Few seconds later.
"You have no clue how far I've gone on trains."
Mega awesome big Horn
@mmcckkgg No doubt! Thank you for the cool comment also!
@nsmline335 Dude that's awesome! Which way does 335 go? Maybe 361 ends at Atlanta?
@csxes44ah True! Thanks for the comment also!
Great video, Gene....You showed a great deal of restraint and patience....5*****
Cutter
I have a Norfolk Southern railroad spike
Dude this was AWESOME!!
The way they blew there horns, i just loved it.
Now lets talk about mister talk alot.
Lol where i live people talk trash like that ALOT!
At leased he didn't ask you if you where surveying, everyone who's come up to me ask me that.
But when he told you about the tracks diverging into one, doesn't every railfan know his local area? Lmao.
awesome video man, keep up the good work =]
when I hear this guys voice, I have a mental image of cousin eddie from the vacation movies
I love it, you give the whole rundown of what is happening and then he goes "OH WELL YOU GOT UM BOTH THATS WHATS GOIN ON." No, really?
@JgordonAmtrak1 Sounded like a brand new P5 to me...Thanks Jeff! Too bad I forgot to bring my bum repellent with me! LOL!
Great race capture!! Keep up the awesome work and hopefully you'll get more races!
@Survivor1547 Whoosh! Indeed!
@soundguyjr Indeed!!!
Nice video Gene... was the guy drunk or just trying to act cool?
AWESOME
@0verload It wouldn't have been so bad if he had just asked what I was doing, then went about his business/on his way. Thanks for the comment also!
"So what exactly are you trying to take a picture of?"
@FutureBNSFEngineer Drunk or on something for sure. Thanks for the comment!
@1489011 I actually like the ex-Conrail's horn better than the horn on Amtrak, at least in this video.Thanks Michael!
LOL awsome video man...But was that guy drunk lol
@AJBMP43 Yep it's just like the movie 'Idiocracy' !!! lol All I wanted to say was 'SHUT UP!' lol Thanks for the compliment and comment!
Two suggestions:
1 Use a remote microphone separate from the camera and placed in front at a distance.
2 Don't shoot at railroad crossings. Walk in a bit where you can be alone.
Wooow! Super !Great Video.The best
@GenesisSanctuary I hear ya, I almost wanted to mute the audio on the video because of the jerk.
@Pellaz2112 LOL! Thanks my friend! Yea he was a fool for sure!
@pengapop12 LOL! I was hoping he'd try to jump in the open boxcars myself!
Awsome video!
That's a great catch you got!! Good timing, love the competing horns!!
@SOU5111 Thanks!!! Well that's a good question on the odds, I'd have to say about 1,222 to 1 since this was the only time it happened out of all my videos! LOL!
I ran inot one of them typs in Norcross the other day
@TB4JY LOL! Yea that's what he said to me! That guy was a dang nut. Funny thing is last night I was out there behind Barnes Hardware recording and 173 was waiting for 172 to pass them, when 172 came around the curve the crewman for 173 was at the crossing, told that guy to stop, but instead he ran right in front of 172 by about 15 feet!!!
Freakin sweet!
OMG that guy is so ripped. What a sketch ball, lawl!
'Oh, you got both dem, dat's wats up!'
I've talked to a guy like that before... Actually it was a couple of nine year olds, but they were just like that.
There is nothing more annoying then someone talking in my train videos! Great catch btw!!
@geeps08 Yea he was an idiot for sure. Thank you also for the comment!
great video man,
you must have been anoyed by that guy!
@EricJP1 Ha Ha! Yea I know right!? Hello I'm at the RR tracks, 2 trains are coming, oh yea I'm taking pics of the wildlife...lol.
Great video!!!!!
@kenjr29mfl Thanks Ken! You didn't like the commentary! LOL!
Didn't Southern Railway used to have the Crescent on its roster?
@jrmasoh Ha Ha!!! He was a piece of work for sure Jerry! Funny the next day he came by there (didn't stop or anything) but had a cast on his arm, then a few weeks later same guy ran right in front of 172 coming through Mableton! Ahh yea...humanity at it's best! LOL!
@furryfurball1221 Thanks! Yea more like a horn battle! LOL!
Nice...
@DaftStrings I think THIS guy was a little bit of everything you said! lol. He was wacked!
Awesome video other than that damn airhead that was running his damn mouth. He needs to shut up and mind his own damn business. If you want to video trains I think you should have the right to do so without interference. When I worked for CSX Transportation from 2014-2020 I had no problem with railfans. Hell I was friends with most of them. A rail fan would definitely be a big help if an airline separated or a knuckle broke and we needed a hand with a ride. Awesome video! Thanks for sharing! I can tell you if I ever go back to a land based job, I’m definitely going back to the railroad. Probably Norfolk Southern, Florida East Coast, or BNSF Railway this time around. That P-5 is one of my favorite horns! Classic Southern Railway and Norfolk Southern!
@tpe18509 Thanks! I know right! lol
Nice catch!!! Too bad that guy was telling you his whole life story!
@CoastStarlight11 LOL! That's skill my friend! Nah just SUPER lucky!!!
@NahuntaSubFoamer5115 Man, I wanted to soo bad, but he probably would have got an attitude and I'd have to kick his butt! LOL! Thanks for the cool comment also!
@maxstrains LOL! I should have interviewed him after the trains cleared!
@Aero203 Thanks! Yea fortunately this has been the only time an idiot has walked up and talked during my videos!
wow that is insane!!!!!!!
@StCatharinesRailFan8 Oh hell no, I'd definitely have to open a can of whoop ass on that person. I'd find a big friend to take with me too.
god i swear man i cant stand people sit there and look at us like theyve never seen nobody record a damn train man you shouldve just told him to shut his mouth
Awesome catch! What are the odds you would have an idiot there at the same time.
@spartan0738 Thanks! Yea I wish I could 'edit' out that fool talking, I tried to get him to hush, but he didn't get the hint. LOL!
awsome catch, talk about the right place at the right time! the guy talking was a bit annoying, however he does seem like a nice enough guy just maybe a little clueless/lonely. Whatever though, the vid was great.
@JgordonAmtrak1 Should have told him to try and jump in the boxcar!
@123chinch456 more like they underestimate railfans.
@b18cyacrxs Thanks! Would have been perfect if that bum hadn't walked up and talked through the dang video!
@morfeusz120 Thanks once again! Too bad that idiot talked through the whole video! BTW this is one of my favorite shots I've recorded minus the 'commentary' by the dummy.
great catch! to bad that guy ruined it, great video, bad audio lol :)
@steffens69 Drives me nuts too!
@maxstrains Instead of trying to ignore him, I should have done the jedi mind trick on him!
@steffens69 Yea no doubt, and this guy wouldn't shut up!
@hallcert I told someone else I should have interviewed him, or told him to try and jump in the boxcar! Send it to RealTv or TruTv!
@Canesfan7012 Thanks! Yea I love getting shots like this! Too bad that moron wouldn't shut the heck up and leave me alone!
@mgobermcedu Bro I really should have told him to go and try to jump in one of those open boxcars on 361! He was talking about it...lol.
I hate it when people talk in my videos .
@mountain775533 That would have been cool!
I hate when people do that. Or when they see you filming and walk right through your shot.
@DJGENEX71 I'd do the same thing for ya! I gave up railfanning a few months ago due to too many people being my spot and some 'wanna-be-railfans' losers. I just got fed up with it.
Great video man talk about 2 for the price of 1!
To bad the Horse didnt hit 'em ;) just kidding! I hate that tho- and it always seems to be when you got that perfect shot too! Well hopefully you won't ever see him again...Whoops- he did say he's out there everyday.... Cool catch on the 6586 too!
@f22bjm Thanks! IDK I think he was a junkie or something...but he wouldn't hush during the video...lol
Was the guy drunk?
Last guy who did that to me, I told them to shut the fuck up and walk away......
Lol...
Nice catch!
@FGLK1751 I know, I didn't need a commentator! LOL!
@Buffalotrains93 Thanks Ryan! Yea he was an idiot for sure.
Ah wait forget the last comment, I misheard him he said stop.
