PURE Luck!

I was on my way to Chicago and just happened to be approaching the EJ&E tracks when I crossed over them and saw the signal was green and a headlight off in the distance! It turned out to be the state line coal train with 3 SD40-2's, the 3rd being an SD40-2W! They were in throttle too, which made things nice.

Just like eating meat.

You, MattBNSF1991, happen to be one of the luckiest railfans that has ever lived. Nice video.

[MattBNSF1991]

lmfao, I just saw this now

thanks

hahaha

[BNSF2184]

@welkcirswe First off, I don't give a flying FUCK whether or not you are offended. Homosexuality is a highly frowned upon thing in the Bible and is just plain nasty. I don't have to censor what I say. Also, I know what CSX means, I talked to a CSX railroad police officer on the Washington DC metro who told me what it is.

@RCKTBOY7 Be careful which way you blow your horn, I am openly gay and do't appreciated the word fag at all as I find that word rude and very disgusting. Please respect LGBT people and please keep your language in check-Thanks. I very much like my trains as well and there were 2 CN SD40-2Ws and an SD40 upgraded to SD40-2 specs on that CN train. CSX=Chessapeak & Seaboard X(Multipilied).

@up199519981982198319 Are there any railfans who actually like this industry? You guys don't understand why crews flip you off or don't talk to you. And then you post shit like this.

I know it's a minority doing this, but you make the rest of the rail hobby group look really bad.

[Boss302fan]

@TheUnknownRailfan typical railfan comment.

[Boss302fan]

@RCKTBOY7 Yes, I have seen what others say about CSXT, And NS. And UP. And BNSF. Fortunately it's just a few of you making these "jokes"...but those few ruin it for the rest.

Perhaps you haven't been flipped off or reported. But as you see in various videos here many, many, others have. And these "jokes" from the few, and the inexcuseable tresspassing from others, is what is leading to the poor treatment some receive from actual railroaders.

[RCKTBOY7]

@Boss302fan I've never been flipped off or reported. In fact I have had good times talking with MOW crews and such. And the CSX thing was a joke. Have you seen what others say about CSX?

[Boss302fan]

@RCKTBOY7 I tell my crews to cut railfans a break and be friendly and give a wave. And most are happy to do it as they take pride in what they do and how they do it. Yeah, some crews are assholes. And some railfans who say things like "CSX Crappy Shit Express" are also assholes.

What I'm telling you kid is that it is comments like yours and others that result in the crews giving you the finger or reporting you to the police.

[RCKTBOY7]

@Boss302fan Whatever. Look at the majority of my train videos. Over half are of CSX. AND they all get horn salutes unless it's a quiet zone!
