Railfanning in Bowie, MD (LOADS OF HORN MUST SEE)

[CSX601]

Only issue I never get any toots from Amtrak NEC Trains!

[TallNBlack]

@CSX601 Wow, normally they do or maybe I just caught them on a good day. All I can say is keep trying and they will respond eventually.

[CSX601]

When I railfan CSX I get about the same amount of horn action

[TallNBlack]

@CSX601 Nice. Most engineers are really friendly.

[CSX453]

Very nice vid love it one of the acela guys was nice giving you alot of horn i never get that.

[TallNBlack]

@CSX453 Thank you. Those Acela engineers are usually nice, I guess you have to catch them at the right times.

Very Very nice Video. I love it

[TallNBlack]

@Julian192001 Thanks, I'm glad you did. 

[Schola718]

[TallNBlack]

@Schola718 Thanks. You never know what you'll find on the Northeast Corridor.

Where in Bowie did u shoot this man??

[TallNBlack]

It was about a mile north of the MARC Seabrook Station.

[Train9632W]

Ah I see. did you just walk through the woods to get to this spot??

[TallNBlack]

No, I drove by it all the time and I just decided to go and film there because it's real quiet around there and it has a great up close view of the line. The railroad museum is further north down the tracks.

[Train9632W]

Yeah it does look like a neat spot. I usually go to the small MARC station at Halethorpe although now some of the damn MTA cops have kicked me out of there..Its pretty gay..So how did u get some of those guys to blow for you??

[TallNBlack]

I just stood and waved plus with where I am at, there is no way that the engineer can miss you. I don't eve attempt to railfan at a major station because of the security. It's just not worth it.

[Train9632W]

Ah I see. Halethorpe is not a major station, it just sucks if you are there if a cop shows up and asks you to leave.

Great Video. Nice Shot of the HHP-8 connected to the GP40WH-2. I wonder why they did that to the train

[TallNBlack]

Thanks. My guess is that MARC was bringing the HHP-8 from Baltimore to DC for upcoming rush hour.

[Great0ne1]

the consist at 7:55 was EXTREMELY RARE. Both locomotives were powering the train

[TallNBlack]

Yeah, I was very surprised to see that. The engineer gave me quite a show then when I saw the GP40WH-2 and HHP-8 TOGETHER, I couldn't believe it. My guess is that MARC was bringing the HHP-8 from Baltimore to DC for upcoming rush hour.

[TallNBlack]

You know I never noticed that. Thanks for that info and I;m glad you liked the video.

195 terminates in Richmond and 194 originates from Newport News on the weekends.

Get a tripod ffs

[TallNBlack]

I know its shaky. I was standing on some rocks so setting up a tripod wouldn't have made it any better plus, there was a fence right in front of me.

[Espeelover]

SWEET! Fast trains!

[TallNBlack]

That's the Northeast Corridor for you.

[Train538]

At 6:43, did you mean Acela Express 2155 because he's going south and 2154 goes north. But anyway, FANTASITIC VIDEO; 5 STARS!!!!!

[TallNBlack]

Oh your right. I meant 2155. Must have gotten it mixed up. Thanks and I'm glad you enjoyed it.
