75 years ago, Toledo was served by no less than 15 Railroads. Today only 6 serve the city. This channel is dedicated to recording those fallen flags and their successors around the Northwest Ohio region.
Welcome to Toledo Rails.
Norfolk Southern, CSX, Canadian National, Amtrak, Ann Arbor Wheeling and Lake Erie are just the tip of the iceberg. Their heritage units, fast freights, slow locals, and anything of special interest is fair game to be subject of a video on here. There is also no shortage of steam here!
Current railroads operating on these fallen flags outside of the Toledo Area are all fair game to be covered. Some notable examples include the Great Lakes Central, Indiana & Ohio, and Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad.
I strive to produce quality railfanning videos for RU-vid and constantly make efforts to improve this channel. Check out the channel and subscribe if you like what you see!
This is very high on my list! I’m sure there are deep memories of SDP40Fs from when I was very young. I’ll update with links to another SL4T which is even more haunting. Also my all-time personal fave, S2M, which the Burlington used on its E units and cab cars. The vid I have in mind for the latter is of a cab car that I’m 99% sure is ex-CB&Q/BN. Honorable mention: actual brass bells. Alternately tuned?

NS never used the SD80MAC's properly. That is a bit of a slag out of Sumner. NS thought that you could shove a 150000+ ton train with one unit uphill. They always under-powered their trains and used the SD80MAC's in helper service, for the most part. I'm glad that I retired from that backwards railroad.
All I have got to say is that the EMD MAC cab is one of the best looking Cab designs for a locomotive. And I would love for their to be a Cowl unit MAC locomotive.
That leslie SL4T horn sounds beautiful!! The chord that it sounds is a D minor 7th. Very pleasing sound. It is like a leslie S3K with a #55 bell added on. I like the sound of the SL4T . It is one of my favorites along with the K5LA, K3LA, M3, P3, S3K, and the K5LA hybrid.
As someone who has desperately wanted to build a Lego steam locomotive this is absolutely amazing truly incredible, this is an inspiration one day I hope to have an amazing locomotive as yours, also the fact you were able to capture the historic details is awesome!
Whatever whistle 126 is wearing it suits her perfectly which I think the people who've operated on her do seeing as I've seen many vids like this where she's sporting the same one, though I don't know what kind of whistle it is sadly.
I’m waiting for a year retrospective on the two. I’ve distanced myself from this set’s online presence because it has been TOXIC to say the least. Meanwhile both have ran at shows and have received a completely different reception from fans.
I just finished this and a few issues. Some pieces were missing, some of the build just didn't work or was overly complex - like the firebox door area in the cab. A few tweaks and this would go from a 'good' to a 'great' brick kit. The digital instructions also skip many crucial steps - you've been warned!

I recommend it, the designers made a great model. I would advise to invest in Lego Powered Up for the power box and motor bogie so you have fine control of the locomotive. The Chinese electronics supplied are lacking
@@ToledoRailshave you hered of bevins bricks he made a 9v power pickup that has a pf plugs that connects to the pf train moter that makes it able to run off 9v power . Got one so it might work with these knockoff moters.
If you watch the video, I explain how this build is not made with Lego branded parts, but can be made with them as the instructions are available to build it yourself with 100% Lego parts
great catches and video of this famous polar express steamer on this train festival run nice horn and whstle action too crazy to hear some little kid paying train whstle to make the train honk and whstle back to in a couple clips
it has been almost 4 years now since this was reviewed, you said that the model would be modified, is there going to be a video in the future with this locomotive??
@@Traincraft_Fan let’s put it this way: I upgraded the system to the PFX brick and it worked great, then it crashed. Honestly my diagnosis for the set is standard for any Mould king set really, ditch that control box and make it a power functions or power functions knockoff (those are just as good) and you’re set
I was hanging in Toledo that summer, just a blockish away on Utah street. I was photographing the traffic crossing the bridge almost every afternoon. I'm surprised Im not in some of those shots lol
I received this set for Christmas from my family and was curious on curves it could take under power. Thanks for the review and showing what this unit can do with the different track setups. Now to get back to work on the locomotive for me.
Makes me incredibly happy to watch this beauty in snow, where she belongs. Christmas just gets a lot more enjoyable with trains like the polar express.
