HiDef: Heavy Snow Storm on the NS Harrisburg Line

[bozerabc123]

Why was there a switcher engine on the train at 7:05?

[MrDannyw3369]

Two years today!

[gadionson1]

wow ... i want to see snow .. :)

[RailWolf7306]

Awesome. I love the shots in the snow. Does anyone know who owns the yellow gondola at 1:23? I can't see any reporting marks on it. Maybe it's a non-interchangeable Norfolk Southern MOW car? Anyone know?

[o00o00ozy]

@RailWolf7306

It looks like it is or was a BCIX gondola. BCIX = Blue Circle Incorporated.

[RailWolf7306]

@o00o00ozy Oh thanks a lot. You don't see those Blue Circle cars around much.

[CanadianWorkDivers]

Hey Bud, Cool Vid, But, Wheres the heavy Snow??? This represents "A little less than Fuck All" in Canada"... haha...

[o00o00ozy]

@CanadianWorkDivers

For South-Central Pennsylvania it is a decent amount. This winter in Vermont, we got an accumulation of a good 4 feet around February, with the heaviest snowfall being about 30 inches in one shot.

[Tovaryshok]

Cool

[DieselSmoke92]

Wheres the heavy snow? more like 1" of snow?

[o00o00ozy]

@DieselSmoke92

Sorry, we got 18-20 inches in February. This was more like a foot.

[DieselSmoke92]

@o00o00ozy I'm not seeing it.

[o00o00ozy]

@DieselSmoke92

That's because I'm in a parking lot for most of the shots where it is plowed away, in the rural shots you can tell there is a lot of snow on the ground. Or maybe open your eyes, that will help too.

[thundertiger2006]

That's a really long train!

[smoothie6ft3]

This storm cost me 2 front tires(spun out and hit curbstone).

[HyperActive7]

Santa and his elves would be proud ;)

[justkiddin08]

Very nice video!!!

[o00o00ozy]

214 originates in Atlanta.

[trainkid16]

@o00o00ozy I'm sorry. I have just never seen it. I guess I was being conceited. My bad. Nice vid! Same professional quality as always!

[CXensation]

Great video - like all the other railfan vids you have submitted on the tube.

Now you have a problem : keeping up your high standards in the future :-)

[Brick1208]

Awesome video, man! Congratulations!!!!!!!!

[01Mattman69]

Great video! There's just something about a train (especially a Norfolk Southern) plowing on through the snow.

[Hickler90]

Sweet shots dude. I thought at first 212 was going to soak your lens lol

[mikeyRavens52]

isnt the CR operation lifesaver @ 7:22 the only one left in existence?

[Conrail402]

Excellent video, you capture northeastern railfanning perfectly!

[BNSF7776]

Lovely Shots 5/5

[zrist1]

Great video as always Eric, keep up the good work. Someday I must get off my dupa and get some snow videos.

[Railfan19960]

awesome! ive got 15+ from that storm though.

[wrailfan]

Another great video! During that storm I was in Lewisburg, saw the remains of the Lewisburg & Buffalo Creek RR.

Awesome, 5*!

[11556303]

well done.

[acidtekno]

Great video. I've never been to USA but I love US railroads, especially the north-eastern ones. Nothing beats a heavy freight blasting through the snow. Keep up good work.

[norfolksouthern7701]

Last time i saw 7711 he was on his way To some place up there on the 38Q>

[Derailedtrain666]

Great work braveing the snow! Ice looks good on dem' black units! My first favorite in several months! Thanks for finially being the one to bring me back into the spirit of things!

[pacirr]

Great video as always.... thanks for venturing out, would love to see this on dvd some day !

[83dubbie]

Where is this located?

[83dubbie]

Awsome video super love the snow.

[ohiosouthern]

These are my most favorite videos to watch, trains in the snow, Great Video, 5 stars, and another 5 for standing out there in the cold!!

[gp40mc]

Fantastic video. The snow flying adds a lot.

[OhioRails]

the A in train 33A stands for amazing!

[csx2788]

[hdskullfire2]

Excellent Job Erik....Very nice work for a full day in the snow. Keep up the grear work...Steve

[falko73]

i hope some day see snow in México haha 5*

[sidekike3]

ownage

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

Now this is what I was looking for, as soon as I saw the snow falling, I knew every railfan in the state would be out for this one.

[nprsux]

epic

[hoolg]

Thanks for braving the elements on this one and getting some shots from this storm passing over you guys. I'm sure it wasn't quite as comfortable as a summer shoot.

Also, very nice work with the panning & telephoto through out the video. That's never an easy thing to do and make it look as seemless as you did. Well done.

Thanks for sharing.

[heelblocks]

GREAT Video Eric! Definately 5 stars, I wish we had got some snow like that.

[RichmanJ93]

I would love to have been there. Great vid !

[krazyjk022]

7:15 just go here great video

[yadkinrailfan99]

Nice man

[NSrailfan1]

amazing video, i sure wish i was out today.

[deloreanman14]

Nothing, not even the weather, stops you from making great videos, does it? Awesome work, as always!

[dimiir]

Super!!!  :o) 5*

[m301]

OMG, are you mad? Dang, it's still snowing here in NYC!!!

[JoaoT805]

very nice stuff in the winter wonderland

[pahogger]

Awesome vid Eric! Love the power on 33A. There's nothing quite like trains in the snow. We got about 18 inches down here in the York area. 5* rate.

[gtw4918]

Was this the hg20?

[o00o00ozy]

Yes.

[lorimersnd]

Great Stuff!!

[AliceInChains243]

Haha what happened, afraid to move the car once you got to Richland? :P Nice vid, a reminder of what footage I'm NOT going to shoot this weekend, I picked the WRONG day weekend to come home from Boston, I could have had a field say in the snow with the yellow nose this weekend. Oh well.

[Jeffwecker81]

Awesome!!!

[norfolkdash9]

At 0:58, the speed of the leading unit's ditchlights changed! Is this common? Or could it be just from a cold connection in the wires?

[gtw4918]

Probably a short circuit.

[norfolkdash9]

Oh that could be.

[NJT4111]

wow, great footage! one of the best snow videos out there. Its just starting to get that bad weather wise here, tomorrow morning may have something to offer railfan wise

[TrainiacProductions]

Outstanding video as usual! I'm astounded, though,by the fact that you kept the snow out of your lens. All day I had to keep a towel nearby because snow kept getting into the lens cavity. Awesome catch on 2100 and (my) 5290! ;-) Wonderful footage

/KJ

[o00o00ozy]

Well, I had to wipe it down between shots. If it were up to me, I would have filmed from the back seat of the car, but there was no way I was going to try to take the car out because the roads weren''t plowed, so I took the truck. I'm going to try to get more today, but I am currently snowed in... Thanks for watching!

[TrainiacProductions]

What I meant is while you were shooting -- the whole train went by and not a flake hit your screen. You didn't do any type of modification to the camera to keep snowflakes away? And I'm trying to go out today, too. Stay safe n Happy Railfanning!

[o00o00ozy]

I mean I wiped the lense with a lense-safe wipe between all scenes. Usually snow doesn't get in except for stack trains, TOFC cars blow a lot of wind. Usually when the power goes by, that also blows snow. Plus, if a few small drops get on my lense the auto-focus doesn't pick it up, it has to be a significant amount of build-up to be able to see it, some parts were actually ruined, so I edited it out.

[NS6677]

All in All, one hell of a great day you had! Very nice!!

[Railfan108]

my snow is even worse, ima railfan tomorrow!!!!!!YEAH!

[Tjsingle14]

haha we have 2ft of snow down here in Maryland, I want to try to get out tomorrow to catch some snow action. Nice video

[sneadfootball]

nice video there! check out my video of the snow fall along the CSX line

[spazman13579]

Great winter wonderland shots!

[CSX6000]

I think white font wasn't the best choice during a snow storm video! But great footage otherwise. Wish I could walk to the NS main... lol.
