Don't let law enforcement wrongly inform you of your rights while trackside or lawfully taking photos. Be sure to print a copy of these documents and keep them with you while railfanning. Don't be harassed due to post-9/11 paranoia.

Hello, I'm George and welcome to my channel. Please feel free to subscribe and check out my videos. Here you will find a variety of videos from railfanning videos to 'N' scale model railroad videos to my popular "In and Around Oroville" music video series. I became interested in trains at a very early age. When I was very young my family used to live close to the Southern Pacific coastline near Ventura, California. I am currently located in Oroville, California and I live just a few miles from the former Western Pacific mainline, now owned by Union Pacific, and not far from the famous Feather River Canyon. On a daily basis the line sees mainly UP manifest trains, grain trains and an even mix of Burlington Northern Santa Fe trackage rights trains. BNSF uses the line from Stockton, California to reach their Gateway Sub at Keddie, California. From time to time I also railfan the UP Valley Subdivision, which stretches from Roseville to Dunsmuir, California. I try to railfan when ever and where ever I can. If you have any questions, comments, or feedback of any kind about me, my videos, railroads, railroading, or anything else, please drop me a line! Thanks for stopping by!

● March 2012: I'll be riding Amtrak's Coast Starlight from Chico, California to Seattle, WA and back. I plan to get shots both from the train (especially in the Cascades!) and off the train during the trip, and I anticipate an opportunity to document the area around Seattle's King Street Station.
