Love the video mars, also I got some action in Cordele and in Ashburn I stayed out in the pouring rain trackside to catch two Norfolk southern trains and btw ive eaten fried green tomatos at the whistle stop cafe in Juliette Georgia
Yep In Previous Videos Ive Commented On That Has Been The 21st Or 22nd HU Missed. :( Well Anyways Do You Know Anybody Named David Collins. He Is A Very Good Freind.
Your site is a dream come true for a lifelong train fan! I am in Yakima, WA which is BNSF country, I believe. Any suggestions on how I can find out train schedules for thru trains and for the train yard? Also, how can I find the frequency of the dispatcher so I can listen to them talk?
Great you like this channel. Train schedules are not typically accessible to the public. So an ordinary railfan (like me) has to go to the line that one wants to railfan and try to gather all possible information (aspect of signals, radio chatter). Sometimes railfan groups on facebook provide helpful information about train locations as well. Regarding radio, you need a scanner. The radio frequencies for a certain line or subdivision can be found on the internet. Otherwise, if you have a scanner that has a railroad service band (such as the Uniden BC125AT that I use), you can initially scan continuously all about 100 frequencies and take note of those frequencies that are in use in that area. Then you program these frequencies into a program bank and scan just these. Hope this helps!
Oops! Looks like...ah...ahhh...oww...! NS 322 had a HOG (Heart of Georgia) GP40 in tow. This will be handed over to HOG at somewhere. The Operation Lifesaver C44-9W was a bonus! :)
I have already done this at times in some older videos. It's too much effort to do it in all, because this information gets lost once you copy files before the actual production (which I do in most cases). I would have to add this information manually based on my notes and that's just very time-consuming.
As you know I truly admire and respect your due diligence, when recording, editing, and uploading your railfanning videos, but I'm observing, you're know uploading in 5K. Just how long does it take for you to upload at 5K, given the upload speed you have from your ISP, and exactly what is that speed? It's well known, you'll stand out in the blistering desert heat, in the pouring rain, with the storm winds whipping all around you, to capture your recordings. That being stated, do you have on your travel itinerary agenda, a trip to the great white North of Upper Canada, or Alaska, in the winter to capture railfanning in the dead of Winter?
I appreciate you closely following my adventures on this channel. The videos are in 4k (note that [5k] is just the identifier for this particular video). This video is about 4GB in size and it took about two hours to upload it to TH-cam. I have not yet thought much about travel plans for the summer (my work has kept me too busy recently). A winter excursion to the far north would simply be awesome, but this requires a lot of preparation and I haven't yet identified areas/railroads I would like to explore.
Thanks! As Terry already said, HOG is the Heart of Georgia railroad, which is a short line that operates in central Georgia. Actually, it was unfortunate that the engine was on this train going north. It might have been the last time we saw it in this paint scheme. HOG now belongs to the G&W conglomerate of short lines and they have their own corporate scheme.

mbmars01. Love to see those coal trains. Love the sound they make on the rails. Great video.
Oh, I know... Love this sound, too.
MB, you've raised the bar again! What a treat you provide for railfans. I enjoyed it all especially the night scenes with infared. Thanks!!
Well, thanks so much!
Lovin' the "infrared cam mode." Sweet.
Yea, it’s different lol
Nice! Another high quality and professional video. Kudos. I truly appreciate your time and effort. 🚂
Some great BNSF Power catches, Thanks
Thanks!
Love the video mars, also I got some action in Cordele and in Ashburn I stayed out in the pouring rain trackside to catch two Norfolk southern trains and btw ive eaten fried green tomatos at the whistle stop cafe in Juliette Georgia
Thanks! I've been in Juliette once, but apparently missed the highlight - the fried green tomatoes! :)
Great burgers !
mbmars01 don't worry you'll get to try them
You didn't run into Dexter Greene while you were filming. That is his favorite rail-fanning spot. He shoots there a lot.
Lol, I actually did bump into him there, which was great fun!
awesome catches. awesome power and lashup's.
Cool, thanks!
Ok thanks...live in chicago...nice train action keep it up train buddy...👍
Cool, Chicago, the railroad capital...
Nice catches of the trains.

Awesome, thanks.
Hi,
again a great video. I like it.
Greetings from Germany
Many thanks! Greetings back to Germany!
Very cool video,nice night time footage.
Thanks!
Awesome video, I enjoyed watching your views :-))
Many thanks! Great you enjoyed watching :)
Pretty gutsy move being trackside in Atlanta at night. But that's just me here in South Dakota.
I wasn't alone and I also don't think it's a particularly unsafe place.
Remarkable catches...great stuff
Great, thanks!
Great video as always.
Many thanks!
You make some good vids ! Keep up the good work
Many thanks, glad you like 'em!
Wow great video and catch
Cool, thanks!

There'll be hopefully more to come.
Yep In Previous Videos Ive Commented On That Has Been The 21st Or 22nd HU Missed. :( Well Anyways Do You Know Anybody Named David Collins. He Is A Very Good Freind.
Well, they come and go. I'm sure you'll catch one one day. No, I don't know anyone with this name.
@@mbmars01 Remember PRLX 9553 It was on a local train i didn't even know about.
NS P53 Is A Local Train From Charlotte To Pineville NC And Goes Back
Lots of coal trains in this Video awesome
Yea, and I really like to see these BNSF Scherer coal trains! Thanks!

I'm new...nice stuff...do u sell any videos of the trains u record..?...must know....thanks
Welcome! No, I haven't yet thought about producing DVDs or alike. All train videos I made are here on this channel.
great video
Thanks!
Did you know that 322 had the Heart of Georgia GP40 in tow?
Oh yes, but I didn't know where it went to. I've known this unit from my visits to Cordele.
Oops! Looks like...ah...ahhh...oww...! NS 322 had a HOG (Heart of Georgia) GP40 in tow. This will be handed over to HOG at somewhere. The Operation Lifesaver C44-9W was a bonus! :)
Yeah, the HOG was special. I had seen it on the Heart of Georgia Railroad just a few weeks before.
as usual - great stuff
be safe
Many thanks!
Remind me what camera u use? The infrared mode super dope wish my camera did that!
I use a Panasonic WXF991 camcorder most of the time nowadays.
Just one small question. Have thought about also including a time your video shots besides the description?
I have already done this at times in some older videos. It's too much effort to do it in all, because this information gets lost once you copy files before the actual production (which I do in most cases). I would have to add this information manually based on my notes and that's just very time-consuming.
@@mbmars01 I Have A Note Pad With Direction, Symbol, Time, Place, Mile Post, Date And Description
great video rare catches
Thanks very much 😊
@@mbmars01 welcome
were it going
anyways great video
Thanks, good you like it.

+mbmars01 Thanks! I've never heard of HOG. Is it the Chattahoochee Industrial RR? I know G&W owns a few short lines up in Kentucky and Indiana.
@@mbmars01 thats sad
I've Ben in Atlanta GA on the way to Florida but I live in Ohio
Cool, I still have to railfan Ohio.
