When I saw the weather was supposed to be great for the day, I figured I'd head out to Bound Brook since it's been a few months since my last visit. An extrodinary trip to say the least 10 trains in 3 and a half horus, ranging from intermodals, to mixed freights, to locals with engines running LHF. The real treat in this video is seeing two Ex-Conrail locomotives still in blue leading their respective trains alone, no NS trailing, just Conrail (LMS for the intermodal.) You'll also see two trains meeting (One departing, as the other one fly's by.) Plus LOTS of horn from all the friendly crew's on Norfolk Southern! I hope to get back to Bound Brook as soon as possible, it is really a great spot! Train 1: i02 Train 2: 22V Train 3: 211 Train 4: 212 Train 5: 11J Train 6: MA-02 Train 7: MA-01 Train 8: 18G Train 9: 24Z Train 10: 20E. Thanks to Railfan108 for the Train ID's! Conrail blue leaders are at 1:10 and 10:29.

  • awesome catch especially with the conrail blue leaders.5***** and I caught NS 5637 and 5277 at Bound Brook on the same train.

  • @trainlover1999 Thanks man! I was shocked to see the blue faced widecab. That's pretty sweet, 5277 is a great looking engine!

  • @CSXACe yeah 5277 is a great looking engine, but I thought that 5277 was goig to be painted over into the NS paint scheme.

  • @trainlover1999 Sadly it's days as a Conrail are close to over. It will probably get repainted sometime this year or early next year.

  • Nice video! Are you going to be in Ridgefield Park next Wednesday? If you are I'll say there's a 90% chance I'll see you there.

  • @TheFlagman2 Thank you! We'll see, I'm not sure what day I'll be going but I plan to go railfanning sometime next week, probably not Wednesday I'm pretty busy in the morning. It was too hot, haha I was kind of suprised I didn't see any CSX trains. The action slowed down alot when I left.

  • That was some great BB action you caught. But the Conrail GP38-2 was the lucky catch. Nice!

  • Great action you caught at Bound Brook.

  • @CSXACe YUP!

  • P.S. You should've waited for Q300, Q190 Q438, Q410, and Q418.
