[Trainz35]

Railfanning motto: "Crap weather brings amazing trains".  Has never, and will never proven to be false. Nice catches Frank!

[LS1Heli]

Where exactly is this? Is this the crossing by the Minute Man gas station and the apartment buildings?

[foroke1]

I noticed some of those Metra cars said BNSF on them. Is there any connection between the two?

[crazyrailfan152]

that freight power set at 1:00 sure was colorful totally beautiful

[NSFAN115]

Love the ATSF gondola and BN Tanker car.

[GP9railfan]

Nice job Frank man. Looks like a busy place! That power move @ 1:00 in was awesome!

[skinnyshit8888]

Love those new BNSF/Metra Heritage cars!

[trainfart]

Not bad, not bad, Frank ;)

[montyvox0510]

Great stuff as always Frank!

Thanks for braving the elements for us railfans!

[modemeyes]

[kyron1994]

to bad that ace and 70 were off

[DL2045]

nice dodge charger in the background. yours?

[BoxcarFrank]

I wish! :D

[DL2045]

Are you driving the Impala then??

[BoxcarFrank]

Nope neither. I was in an apartment parking lot and those must belong to the tenants. I drive a Silver Toyota Highlander and I may buy a Crown Vic P71 Interceptor.

[DL2045]

get some lights on that vic and you're be set to go

[CPManJoe]

Awesome video Frank! The Highlander is a great car, I put 210,000 miles on mine before the transmission blew.

[Jeffwecker81]

BRRRRR!! reminds me of the weather here last week ,nice footage!!

[piktrains]

Nice footage. 5+

I like @ 4:45 the 17,400 hp to pull 11 cars. Man I hope they had enough power to make it. : )

[mongo5888]

@crazyrailfan Thanks! That's a neat car! I wonder what they look like inside....................

[NSrailfan1]

does anyone know why the metras have a BNSF logo?

[Metracab123]

Becuase Each Company Per Line Buys The Equipment A.K.A The Cars So They Label The Company Name For Financial Reasons.

[NSrailfan1]

ahh okay thank you

[NMC21887]

Was the KCS engine with that BNSF with the LED tag numbers?

[BoxcarFrank]

Yessir

[NMC21887]

Were you taping this inside your car, Frank?

[HighIronofWisconsin]

Nice snow footage! I esp. like the all-Warbonnet lashup and the BN Green Geep!

[mongo5888]

Great video!!!!! I was wondering, at 35 seconds there was something that looked like a passenger car, but it had a cab up top it looked like! Can someone please educate me on what exactly that was? Does it have an engine? If not, how does it work and what is it used for? -Mongo

[krazyjk022]

@mongo5888 yes does have an engine i believe but i know there are controls on i

[BoxcarFrank]

Cab cars do not have their own power...

[trainmanj]

Great video, makes you want to go back to warmer weather shots though.

[Railrodder]

Very nice! I'm looking forward to doing some winter footage! Here in Kingston Ontario, we haven't really had much of a winter yet. Some of those scenes with the heavier snowfall would make nice pictures!

[VIA909]

[coolguy676]

[CSXRP]
