Ever since I was a kid, I've been fascinated by trains, the lives they effect, and the places they have shaped.
Come take a journey with me on a Railhead’s ultimate bucket list!
From big trains to small trains, from small towns to large cities, we’ll explore the places and people whose lives are all linked by one thing: Trains.
Thanks for watching, subscribe to the channel, and we'll see y’all down the tracks!
There’s only one baggage car. The four cars upfront are mail cars aka Material Handling Cars(MHC). Yeah the roadrailers were very common in the late 90s and early 2000s. They were used for a wide variety of items that needed to get to a destination much quicker than freight train service could provide~ Drewski
So excited to finally be able to release this video for you guys! Lots of hard work went into it and I’m so glad it’s getting to see the light of day! Chapter markers are listed in the description box for your convenience🙂. If you traveled with us on the U.S. Sugar Express, see if you can find yourself in our video! Enjoy and we’ll see y’all down the tracks! ~ Drewski
A great video masterpiece 👏 Drew!!! I love US Sugar 148, would love to visit there as well 😊. I am so proud of our dad inspiring us with his love for trains!!!
Awesome video Drew! Next time you come to Florida come on over to the Florida Railroad Museum in Parrish (35 miles south of Tampa)! It’s a 6.5 mile trip from Parrish to the town of Willow and back (13 miles round trip) and we tell you about the history of the line and the history of Willow from its beginnings as a company logging town in the 1920’s. By the way, I am one of the conductors over at the Florida Railroad Museum. Like I said, next time you are in Florida come and check us out!
No, this is at the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum. The Chattanooga choo-choo, which is now no longer, was not too far away from TVRM at the time. The difference between this and the Chattanooga choo-choo, the Chattanooga choo-choo was just a display - Drewski
@@DrewskisTrains_Travels live in Dickson before I lived in Ohio and spent my army tenure at tank plant. Nearby could hear the steam locos Beeing refebished at the Lima loco plant near by and we did work at tank plant.. also worked at my civilian job at sylvainia TV plant you saw my work hi hi be 😊
@@DrewskisTrains_Travels I remember when I was younger my grandpa always found time to take me to watch and get a ride on one. Miss them days. I wish they still ran the old ones on the tracks more often around me but we gotta travel north to see them. Thanks for sharing cos it brought back great memories.
Very nice! I had been waiting for at least 3 years to see. I thought the models of it were pretty but there was nothing that could replace seeing that beautiful locomotive in person!
That’s a good question. @SidsTrains would probably know the answer to that question. You can also call or email Soundtraxx and ask them. One or both of them should be able to point you in the right direction🙂
Unfortunately this guy was a private seller and didn’t have any contact info that was visible🙁. I’ll try asking around as I know he’s local to Texas. I’ll let you know what I find out🙂
@Calebro44 Did some asking around and was not able to find that guys contact info😞. Is there something specific you were looking at that I can help point you to where one might be?
@@DrewskisTrains_Travels I saw he had a Virginian Norfolk Southern Heritage unit, and a BNSF great Northern heritage unit. Was curious how much he was selling it for, and if he had any others.
Unfortunately we’re not gonna be able to make it to the Amherst show this year🙁. That said it is on our list to go to at some point! Our good friend, Lucy Dormont, the social media manager for the NMRA, will be there though. Also on our list to go to is the York train show in York Pennsylvania. So, we’re hoping to make both of these shows in the near future🙂
Same here! We preordered one of the Kansas City Southern E8s from their Catalogue and can’t wait for them to arrive😃. We also preordered several other items from them as well. Looking forward to seeing more from them!
Nice! That paint scheme was pretty sweet looking. Funny thing I actually saw those with the bilevel cars in a book that me and my brother got recently and we were commenting on the beautiful safety striping up front.
@@DrewskisTrains_Travels ngl i never saw them during my youth but when i discover my part of jersey, I saw that Erie Lackawanna, Penn Central use to be in areas of my hometown. But the BN and metra bilevel cars, man seeing those E units made adore the E units.
This is the future of model train upgrades especially in O scale. It's VASTLY cheaper than dcs and most especially legacy. Pretty on par with ERR though. But it's got more features than all 3 of those systems put together and the customization factor alone is worth getting it or at least heavily considering it. Rectifiers are extremely easy to make and yes, all modern O locomotives use DC motors.
@@DrewskisTrains_Travels nah, thank y'all for including me in the video. And you're welcome for finding that gorgeous BNSF hopper for ya. Seeing this video just reminded me of all the crazy stuff and deals we saw there, that hopper being one of them! Great work as always man, absolutely top notch!
