Hello train lovers, my name is Justin and I've been a railfan my whole life. I started this channel to film some trains in my local area but my passion has only grown since then and so had this channel. You may formerly know of this channel as Central Connecticut Railfan, but I am now a student at a college in Western Pennsylvania so it was time to change the name. On this channel you'll see anything and everything trains. I go to school right near the Norfolk Southern Pittsburgh mainline so you can definitely expect so NS action. It is also within driving distance of many scenic railroads and other freight mainlines. My summers will be spent at home in Connecticut so those of you who enjoy CTrail and Amtrak action as well as shortline freight railroads, this will still be on the channel. I hope you enjoy watching my videos as much as I enjoy making them!!!
@@northeastrailproductionsim sure. :D ill be riding at 11 and then heading to the trolley side. my 2nd time going to the trolley museum. bf's 1st time to both.
Nice video! One small thing, 97 was built in 1923, not 1926. The brass medallion on the smokebox door is misleading. She was built as a stock engine for Cuba, but the sale never materialized. She was sold to the Birmingham and Southeastern in March of 1926.
Thank you and @Essex_Rail_Films for capturing and sharing your cool videos of the day. #40 looked grand all decked out in the red, white and blue. I actually operated #40 on the line a few months ago with their HOT program. Good shots, thanks again!
That's a nice spot there that not a lot of people seem to know about. The best angle there is on the track one side for westbounds. Glad you were able to find that spot!
I’m going to be heading out east for the first time this spring and I’ll be around road island Connecticut and Maryland. What are the best railfaning spots out that way?
