[combertrains]

Puts our wee railway here in Northern Ireland in perspective! Great video.

[GP9railfan]

@combertrains Thanks. Glad you enjoyed the video. This is a promo video for the band that sings the song.

[rotorhd2]

<--I'm a CPR engineer ......nice job on the video is it really this cool??? At 3 in the morning sometimes seems like a job.....thanks for the cool show

[GP9railfan]

@rotorhd2 No probably not cool all the time eh? I know what you mean. Bordom of watching miles, & miles of iron for hours on end gets old pretty quick. The short-line I ran on was only about 60 miles, & that seemed to take forever sometimes. Crossings, & occasional waves to people/kids were the only real excitement, but that makes it worth it when you see the smiles, & look of amazement on their faces. I've got some videos on here of that. 1950's era FL9's rolling through get lots of attention

[rotorhd2]

@GP9railfan yep it's a good job...I noticed the video from the conductor seat was the Rocky Mountaineer, I drive that a couple times a year......once, a passenger asked me for autograph! Can you believe that? We still have some jeeps here, in yard service....well built!

[joezilla911]

Awsome video! Myself and my 2 year old really enjoyed it...thank you!!!

[GP9railfan]

@joezilla911 Hey thanks! Glad you both enjoyed the music video. You're welcome!

Excellent work.

@oussorenh Thanks! The band is using this as a promo for the song.

[jimtrain18]

I had to find out why this video had over 5000 views. Now I know why! Superb photos and videos. Very well done.

[morfeusz120]

Great  video!

[GP9railfan]

@morfeusz120 Thank you!

[cprailes44ac]

Makes me miss the ALCO's so much, & Now the SD40-2's are starting to get retired & scrapped, too. Makes you think about your childhood, the locomotives you loved so much, now theyre gone forever, no way of getting them back, :( Good video, though.

[GP9railfan]

@cprailes44ac Thanks. Yeah, I know what you mean. As they say though, Nothing lasts forever. Sad reality of things.

[cprailes44ac]

@GP9railfan Same with, "You Dont Realize What You Have Until Its Gone". Gotta Hate that one because its true, Never realized how much I loved the 2010 Olyimpics ES44's Until I saw one Missing the Logo. :(

[GP9railfan]

@samkoter Thanks. Much appreciated!

[swolf461]

The van (CP 420990) is now in Sudbury ontario and also painted a burgandy and still in use by track programs.

[GP9railfan]

@swolf461 Cool. I have that caboose on my HO layout. Mine still looks exactly like the one in the picture. Thanks for stopping by.

[bravosixxx]

Freakin' AWESOME ZACH!!! Incredible footage and sweet song!! and oh....To the Douche Bag ( I apologize for the harsh words Zach) that thumb downed this video....Go play with your legos you crap ass hater. How could you thumb down this video? Two big freakin' thumbs from The Rooch Man Pointing North Brother!!

[GP9railfan]

@bravosixxx Hey Rob man! Haha, No prob. Thanks for stopping in BTW. Nah, I don't let some stupid thumbs down bother me. That's probably just one of my hater-fans out there. Everyone has at least a few haters on here after awhile. Look at "Davidsfarm" for example. LOL Thanks again Rob!

[teddybeareleventeen]

AWESOME Video Man! GOOD STUFF! 11/10!

I can't believe some deadbeat gave this one a thumbs down! Should check'em for a pulse, they might be DEAD!

Keep'em comin' man!

[GP9railfan]

@teddybeareleventeen Thanks for your words of inspiration, & rating. More stuff on the way. When I have more time I'll post more vids, including part 2 of the Union Pacific SW10 Cab ride that I've been promising... LOL

[guilford681]

hey man sorry I havnt been on much latley. Jus mad busy with friends school and baseball. hhaha Great video man. Ive always liked the CP. Cool song too!

[GP9railfan]

@guilford681 Aha. Yeah, the band is using this video as a promo for the song! Pretty cool eh? Over 1600 hits on this video in only 2-1/2 Months!! Crazy.

[trainguyONR]

WOW is all I can say. This was simply amazing, thanks for this video.

[GP9railfan]

@trainguyONR Thank you sir! Glad you like it. Check out my other vids if you like this one.

[iRECKONER]

[GP9railfan]

@iRECKONER Thank you!

[PhilbruProduction]

Very beautiful continuation of shots. Congratulations. 5*

[GP9railfan]

@PhilbruProduction

Thanks. Glad you like the video. :-)

[cashmonkey9]

great video and song !

[GP9railfan]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.

[LocalRailfan]

Thanks a lot for the video response. Great tune and great selection of photographs....The CPR still is "The World's Greatest Travel System"!

[Diesel4me2]

You've got some of the coolest train videos on youtube man.

 I went & bought this album after I heard this song &,,, the whole album rocks!

[GP9railfan]

Thanks! I'm honored that you like them so much, & very appreciated. I bought the album also, & it's a great CD. There's a few train songs on it.

[KrazySuspentions]

@Diesel4me2, Hey man, This video kicks ass!!! Thanks for showing it to me, & I really like the song in it especially. Great tune!

[Diesel4me2]

I thought so too.

[fairmontmotorcars]

The shot at 1:59 I want to frame that and hang that on my living room wall. What a nice shot!!!

[GP9railfan]

Pete, You can see the stars better in the original photo. Sorry that the low quality YT resolution won't let you see it better.

[JTSpartz]

Funny thing is that my band (the Damn Shames) and I haven't played CP Rails 'the song' in a long time. We'll be getting it back on the set list now! I don't mind non-commercial use of my material but do appreciate that credit is given. No worries. I hope you don't mind if I use your video to cross-promote the band. Thanks again. If you're ever in Madison, Wisc. drop me a line.

[GP9railfan]

@JTSpartz Yeah, sure no problem man. Go for it. Consider the video yours to do whatever you want, (after all it is your song). :D You can embed it using the embed code in the right column (below the video description),if you want to put it on a website.

[ChicagoRailMan]

Great video!

[GP9railfan]

@ChicagoRailMan Hey, Thanks! Much appreciated.

[Tom60062]

CPR is much better than Canadian National. Go CPR!!!

[JTSpartz]

That is one of the neatest things I've seen. I wrote that song about a friend who is a train lover. He also has Cerebral Palsy and essentially lives in a motorized wheelchair. Maybe it's the wheels he likes. Anyway, nice video editing and glad ya'll like the tune!

[fairmontmotorcars]

Goes great with the song thats for sure. That has to be a sight to see with the lights on that christmas train 5 stars like always

[GP9railfan]

@fairmontmotorcars Thanks. Yeah, I thought so too. Haha. It would be cool to see CP bring the Holiday train up through New England (maybe some day) if Pan Am ever gets the majority of the rails back up to regulation anyway...

[BCRailfan96]

Hey man vould u please send me a message on YouTube because I'm confused!! How do u tell engines appart is it something to do with the numbering ( Joe do u tell a sd40-2 from a ac4400cw) I do know what a ac4400cw is but I used that as a example I hope u can help me thanks

[GP9railfan]

@BCRailfan96 No Prob. Yep Hank Snow, & George Hamilton IV sang that one. That's a good one also.

[BCRailfan96]

Thankyou love it cp all the way what is this song called??

[GP9railfan]

@BCRailfan96 Thanks!

"CP Rails" by Jim James, & the Damn Shames.

[skinnyshit8888]

Ya gotta love the red!

[GP9railfan]

Yep.

[rockinrollfan37]

nice video man.lots of E.M.D./ G.E. power to look at! like the holiday train also,would love to see that in person

[GP9railfan]

Yeah, that would be cool if they went through New England with it. It would be a big hit for sure.

[Diesel4me2]

I want to see the Holiday train in person some day. I wish it came around here!

[Diesel4me2]

Damn!! This video is awesome! Very, very nice job! I just noticed the crossing signal lights are even blinking to the beat of the song at 1:32 . Cool!

[GP9railfan]

Agreed. Thanks for stopping by.

[MsC1953]

Great compilation! Like the song a lot, too! How do you find them?

[GP9railfan]

Thanks Cathy. These kind of songs usually find me. Haha.

[W4KSR]

I wish Guilford/Pan-Am has consists like those.

[GP9railfan]

Me too. That would be cool to see a Pan Am Holiday train - something like that.

[MilwaukeeSDman]

Love Tthe ALCO/MLW & SD40 Vids/photos!!!!!!!

[MRiceH0le]

Cool Video. Wonder how they Powered all those lights though?

[jimmydcap]

Even when you just throw something together it's a HIT GReat job!!
