Ahhh, Newton, sweet Newton.

[boatuser41]

i live in newton and go across those tracks everday. I swear to god every time i go to cross thow i get caught by a train.

[rhicks1]

OMG they fixed the crossings since last time I was there. I will be heading that way in a few weeks hopefully I will get some good shots.

[viacong]

either side of this damned track is the wrong side. build a a tunnel. i get sick of playing the newton race when i hear a train horn. sick of punching it down onto high street from main or hoping i can make it across broadway. screw it i'm moving the hell out of this God forsaken town. you can have it i dont want it.

I grew up in Newton on the wrong side of the tracks! Trains would occasionally make us late. Twenty five years later I love watching these videos! Thanks for taking the time. Akin

[railfandude123]

i saw that lead engine in your last clip in this video at joliet

PS: the bell sequence and the burnt out ditchligh reminded me of it

[pacoshoki44]

Just curious, if you love trains soo much have you ever tried to get a job there.

[jotin1992]

i love newton. the trains are awesome

[rsppap]

Could you maybe railfan in Independence,Ks someday please?

[Treyvs]

Maybe if im ever down in that area I'll try and find some tracks.

[barnburner45]

I like to eat my lunch there at the depot and watch the trains. The bike path at the old mill is a good spot too.

[Treyvs]

next time I come up there we will have to meet up at the depot or something, I'm from Hutch

[eddieg749]

what is the difference between a Z train and a intermodal train?Good video!

[RailfanAlex]

Nice Chuck! Good amount of power on the first two.

[pudd750]

BNSF 4077 W at 1:37, 5 engines --must be serious grades he has to tackle- hard to believe the bridge builders had the forethought to build bridges able to accomodate double stackers waay before their time

[RedCoalCarpet]

So did any of our law enforcement friends come visit you while you were there?

[Treyvs]

Uhh no

[RedCoalCarpet]

That's good to hear!

[eccentriceric]

I would like to see a shot of the depot with a train from the sunny side of the tracks. with all those hoppers parked there i guess you would have to do it by the street crossing. what do they do with all those old looking hoppers? use them for a work train? You would need westbound trains in the early afternoon for the depot scene. those are harder to get there.

[crazyrailfan]

[amtk122]

[unionp509]

[MikeDelic14]

Nice shots, looks like a cool place to railfan!

[BoxcarFrank]

Take a long look at that C40-8W in the H3 scheme. That will soon be the new paint of the WBs

[hawk4174]

He was heading back too Seattle with that aircraft railcar too pick up another 737 too bring back too Kansas.

[crazyrailfan]

those cars are actually going to the Boeing plant in Wichita to get another fuselage to take to Seattle

[RedCoalCarpet]

Except it's not Boeing anymore. It's Spirit Aerosystems which bought the Boeing Wichita Commercial Division in 2005.

[crazyrailfan]

i was just going off the manifest which is ordered to Boeing Corp/Wichita, KS

[HAROFREEK]

It looks like you had a great day railfanning. You got some really good footage!

[UPTurner]

[trainboy94]

[iusetano]
