Great video and audio work. You're a great railfan. I can't wait for the RF&P unit to get here to Northern Virginia where I can catch it at the "Fleet" signal in Alexandria. I wish you all the best!
A really cool video there Christian. The assist for the conductor was a nice touch. Although the empty ethanol train is CSX symboled to Bensenville, IL (CPKC), the CPKC will be taking the train onward to an ethanol plant in Minnesota or the Dakotas. There is such a plant on the CPKC Portal Sub at Voltaire, ND and I’ve seen CSX locomotives up there. So that’s my educated guess where those Hooker’s Point ethanol trains originate. BTW a funny story about crews dying on the law: We took a steam excursion, commemorating the Colorado centennial in 1976. It was a round trip from Denver to Laramie, WY, on the UP behind the 844. On the return we stopped in Greeley, CO for water and then sat for a while. One of the volunteers came through the car and was asked why we weren’t moving. The volunteer answered “the crew died”. The poor woman broke out in tears hearing the sad news of someone dying as she didn’t know the term. He quickly explained the term while my father and I could barely control our laughter. Thanks for taking us your journey!
Excellent video and superb current and historic info. Great that you gave the conductor a ride! You taught me what a "temple stick" is. quite an amazing story. DPU seen in the middle of 442! Great work on all 4 trains. Terriffic production, Christian of .Multicolor Films
I just found your channel, dude, and you've got a new subscriber. Excellent video .. from your knowledge of the train designations, the routes they run, to the narration and camera work. I think it's great that the younger generations, as yourself, are keeping railfanning alive and well. Y'all must have been elated to be asked by the conductor for a ride back to the bad axle .. I sure would have. I've been a railfan since I was a child growing up in Cumberland, Md, a railroad town, when the B&O, C&O, and WM were in their heyday, which all combined to create the Chessie System. And then, in turn, absorbed other railroads to become CSX. The only railroad close to me now is a shortline here in NC, the ACWR, and they run mostly at night due to safety concerns, so I rely on people like you to bring the railroad to me .. I'll surely be checking out your library .. thanks, man, keep 'em coming.
A great day indeed! Thank you for your great work on a wet day. I've lived in DeLand all my life not to far from the A-Line. I've been watching the new SunRail DeLand Station build with great interest, but miss the freight traffic that once moved on the line. Count me as a new friend too!
Kind of a neat situation to stumble upon. Really made for an interesting video. You're doing a fine job on these videos. Thanks for taking the time to do this and for posting for us armchair fans.
excellent video and very good to see that the defect detectors are doing their job and most importantly that the CSX crew stopped the train immediately to check it out. It was interesting to see how they dealt with the problem which really only cost them a couple of hours, but importantly no train wreck as a result of not ignoring the problem
The 1836 is a great looking locomotive. Good job composing the video. You should make a video on your equipment you use to create this awesome videos. Keep it up.
You know I had almost the same thing happen to me with the same HU. Most people thought it would go by at 1 in the morning pulling empty ethanol loads. This was also the first CSX heritage unit on this Specific line. Which is the UP Geneva sub. I look at the Rochelle Cam chat and someone said it passed Geneva at 6:55. I got dressed and was by the tracks at 7:06. It passed me at 7:26. By the way it originated on B642
Great video! Just wondering, when you were bringing the conductor to the hot axel car how did you know from the car which train car to drop him off at? Great video again!
Thanks! The conductor has a chart of every car on his train, with information and axle counts. He knew what he was looking for before we even left Helena
They still owe us a Western Maryland. There is the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis, which was quite a large railroad merged into the Louisville & Nashville. I don't think that they have done the Seaboard Air Line yet. I have a T-shirt with all their predecessor railroads pre-Conrail breakup. There is the Central of New Jersey, for which there is a Norfolk Southern heritage unit, but I don't know what it has to do with Norfolk Southern because it was a Baltimore & Ohio property that carried their passenger trains to New York. Maybe they will go as far as the Pere Marquette and Chicago, South Shore & South Bend, which were merged into Chessie System and are on my T-shirt.
Don’t forget the Boston & Maine, Maine Central, Pennsylvania Railroad, The West Point Route, Seaboard Airline Railroad, New Haven, C&EI, and Clinchfeild.@@frederickschulkind8431
You did a great job making this video of a stand out day of railfanning and y’all helping out the conductor. Keep up the good work. Maybe check some of mine out when you have time. 👍
Dude, Bill Evans and Coltrane records on your wall - A+ taste and another excellent video.
Ha glad someone noticed! Those are go to albums for the drive home after video shoots like these. Thank ya!
I've seen a few of your videos, your off to a good start.
Appreciate the feedback💯

I wish you well too! Thanks for the kind words
That was nice of you to help out the conductor bringing him to the defective car. I'd certainly do the same thing with my truck
I guess it was, ha! Thanks for watching

Another great video.
Appreciate it Drayton!
Wow, what a great day even if it was rainy! Your timing and luck are impeccable. I always say, 'Chance favors the prepared railfan!"
Thank ya Barry!
Thats nice you'd help the conductor out, looking forward onto seeing more content from you.
Thank you my man, appreciate the comment!
The quality of this video is awesome! Great work! What is the camera you use?
Thank you! I use a Lumix GH5 for video, and a G7 for photos
Awesome video! I definitely look forward to more videos like this
Thank you!
Cool, I caught 1836 in Dade City at nearly 4 in the morning last Friday.

Will do Kenneth! Love comments like that!
For RF&P fans, even though its in Florida, #CSX1836 definitely reminds one of the RF&P's slogan, "Linking North and South".
A great day indeed! Thank you for your great work on a wet day. I've lived in DeLand all my life not to far from the A-Line. I've been watching the new SunRail DeLand Station build with great interest, but miss the freight traffic that once moved on the line. Count me as a new friend too!

Yea actually I caught that B642, check out the video that’ll premiere tonight
Sweet! You got the RF&P unit! Awesome!
Thanks Terry, twas indeed awesome!
That was pretty awesome, with the dispatcher informing the crew that he is an RF&P dispatcher
Indeed it was, thanks for watching
He must have been a young fella when the RF&P and CSX merged in the '90s.
Just found your channel and i'm loving the content you're putting out! Your editing is superb! Keep it up!
Lovely comment my friend, thanks!
Awesome video!

Much appreciated my bro
Very very nice! What kind of camera do you use?
Lumix GH5, G7 for photos. Thanks!
Nice video, how did you find out that it hasn't left?
I have friends in good places lol
What Heritage Locomotives Does CSX Still Have To Paint?
I don’t know. There’s still more to go.
Not sure, however I know there's a few still in store for us. I guess only time will tell...
They still owe us a Western Maryland. There is the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis, which was quite a large railroad merged into the Louisville & Nashville. I don't think that they have done the Seaboard Air Line yet. I have a T-shirt with all their predecessor railroads pre-Conrail breakup.

My artwork on CSX 1836 is good as CSX's.
Oh
I sure wish they'd do these things right, they'd look so much better
Narration, check
Good footage, check
Radio chatter, check
Subscriber, check
Appreciate it, check
@@multicolorfilms Lol, keep up the great work!
I think Danny Harmon of @distantsignal would really appreciate this. This is quality work!
I'd agree! Thanks for the comment!
This gives similar energy to distant signals work I'm going to guess you take inspiration from Danny but am very open to being incorrect
Well you've guessed correctly, I take great inspiration from Danny. He's a great guy, and makes even better videos. Thanks for the feedback
@multicolorfilms no problem just noticed the similarities in your work!
I agree though one of the best members of our hobby
