the only time i see trains are when im driving, and theyre usually unwelcome. this train is near my house & ive actually been stopped in traffic by this train. this video gives it a very majestic look. this is a very simple video, but i have come to respect trains more because of it. nice work.

[Chicagojoe28]

@romeruno thanks! Glad you liked it. Trains are actually kind of interesting once you get into it.

[inels100]

ok thanks i thought they were going to us them on some of there train but i thing they should be a show with them on that line and nice video

[Chicagojoe28]

@inels100 oh. Ok thanks!

[inels100]

What was that train on the right at 8:54?

[Chicagojoe28]

@inels100 Those are 2 old CIRY switchers. They went out of business in 2010.

[bertxblitzkrieg]

beautiful locomotive, and that's gotta be the best K3 I've ever heard

[Chicagojoe28]

@bertxblitzkrieg yeah it was great

[SouthShoreTrain]

Nice video!

[Chicagojoe28]

@SouthShoreTrain thanks!!

[BonsonJ]

I understand now, I didn't realize that a auto was blocking their path. Oh well, you can't fix stupid. Thanks again.

[Chicagojoe28]

@BonsonJ hah sure thing! Thanks for the comment!

[BonsonJ]

This is a really good video. I like big city industrial railroading. However, I have to question the mental integrity of the engineer while sopped at that crossing and repeatly laying down on the horns while the conductor was flagging traffic across. That's psychotic behavior man! Thanks again for a great video.

[BonsonJ]

@BonsonJ Sorry about that, I meant STOPPED at that crossing.

[Chicagojoe28]

@BonsonJ haha, yah it was cool to see but worried some people. he was just pissed because Almost every day they run, there is a car parked on the tracks, and it delays them big time. He honked the horn to trr to get the person.

[kmeluso]

Excellent clarity. Equipment?

[Chicagojoe28]

@kmeluso Thanks! Just the HD Flip and a generic tripod.

[pwalpar]

[Chicagojoe28]

@pwalpar thank you!

[Trainmaster189]

[Chicagojoe28]

[johnyboy087]

[dunkirknewyork]

Thats about the cleanest looking Locomotive I have seen

[MattBNSF1991]

Ew, it's not green anymore.

[Chicagojoe28]

[CristhoferALL]

ours, what it was in the sky? are chemical trails (chemtrails)?

[Chicagojoe28]

@CristhoferALL it might have been smoke from one of the industries over there.
