@Train538 Saw a couple of videos from other uploaders with something I only heard about, but never saw before: An M6 pair, an M6 that, like with a couple of M4s, is missing the dummy/center car.
I'm glad to finally see a video from you. The funny thing is I was just in Fairfield a week and a half ago. If you go to my background, you'll see a picture I took of a Metro-North train just east of Fairfield station.
You know that building that's right next to the station on the southbound side. Well, that's my current middle school so since I have been going there since the start of the new school year, I know when every train goes by now.
Wow, you're lucky! I live near a freight line here in Florida, but the stupid thing about freight is they don't run on any schedules. That means I have no idea when to go catch them. Only 10 trains go through each day and 3 hours may go by in between them. I'm not going to sit at the crossing for 3 hours waiting!
Florida East Coast. The route is obvious. It starts in Jacksonville at a yard shared with CSX, and from there follows the east coast to Miami. It's not nearly as busy as CSX which runs a ton of trains through FL each day. In fact Jacksonville has one of their busiest yards and Jacksonville is CSX's headquarters. I still don't like freight though because of their unpredictability. With Amtrak and commuters railroads, especially there, you can plan your railfan trips by looking at the timetable.
aww will's just a lil one here, how time flies.

3:13 - M4 with M6 dummy. I've been seeing that one (or whichever other M4s with M6 dummy cars) more and more lately.

I've been trying to but the only problem was that I didn't have any kind of software to convert the .vob format into .mpeg format.

good work for your first video! keep 'em comin - the only real way to get any better is to keep trying.
also - why is there text in the center of the screen on your video - did you use an editing program demo version that "watermarks" everything?

I'm not sure what those words are in the middle. I just noticed it myself. I used a special formatting program. Thanks for the comment!
