My name is Rich, and I'm a railroad enthusiast, nature hobbyist/photographer, urban explorer, and music fan. When not working, you can find me engrossed in any one of these hobbies. As you'll see here on my channel, my strongest passion of them all is the railroad. I'm out of Akron, Ohio, but frequently find myself seeking railroad action in and around my hometown of Ravenna, Ohio where the busy Norfolk Southern Cleveland Line crosses over the CSX New Castle Subdivision. Though I do venture elsewhere for railroad related activities, this is my primary stomping ground. Through the years, I've come to know many of the men and women who keep the trains moving through this region too, so that makes going out and documenting the trains in this area even more fun. Hopefully you'll enjoy the videos I have to offer here, and if you desire any pre-2015 videos of mine that are privatized, shoot me a message.
Another great video, sir! Around Amtrak Capitol Limited 130 Heritage Unit rolled with that smooth horn of it! Triggered memories for me! My grandfather (my Dad's dad) and I would always go see Amtrak and other trains (Norfolk Southern and CSX) back when I lived out east in Virginia and VA neighboring states. Unfortunately, on September 30, 2012, he died from stage IV brain cancer! I was 20 at the time he passed. So basically hearing that blast of 130 horn that Amtrak used alot back in the 90s and early 2000s and still made to the 2010s and now beginning to become a thing of the past with thr Chargers taking over the Genesis units. So it hit me a bit hard hearing 130 sound off. Most importantly @csxno601 Thank You
That 2nd 16G I also caught on the night of March 18, on the Fort Wayne Line east of there. That grain train, 50K, was a 44M when it came through here, and it was ahead of the 16G
Actually, I think I labeled the grain wrong. Thanks for pointing that out. I caught a 50K recently, so that symbol stuck in my mind. I'll try to remember to change it to 44M next time I'm on my desktop.
Was that the one that kind of had squinty eyes? As in, like the first one after Braylon restored the show? If that's the one you mean, I don't know why they don't put that one back on Mitzi since the current one is starting to tear.
Hi csxno601 I was wondering what program you use to upload your videos I use image edge mobile and I can't seem to find out why my videos always stutter when I post it on RU-vid any help would be appreciated
I use Cyberlink Power Director to edit/produce my videos. I've used it since 2008, and outside of a couple minor things, have been pleased with the performance of the software. I took a look at a couple of your videos and didn't notice any stuttering. Is it a frame rate issue?
@@csxno601 I'm not sure, because when I play the videos on my computer or tv after uploading them to RU-vid, they are choppy and stutter. Not sure if it is my camcorder or not, because I recorded with my phone and the same thing happened. Maybe my internet/WiFi? Other people have commented saying my videos are sometimes choppy. I have been recording in 60i and 60p.
What memories for me with going with my family years ago to Berea and standing in the exact spot where you see M363 & 568. I see now there are a lot of weeds grown up in that area. I remember the trees off left a lot shorter.
That spot is always nice when you want to avoid the crowds of the regular spot. So much quieter and more peaceful. And now, that area also has good lighting at night for the railcam which comes in handy when shooting night video. The vegetation there is a bit rough this year, though. I agree with you on that. I remember it being a lot more open and clear in the early 2000s as well.
I'd say the portion through Shenandoah Junction gets 16-20 in a 24-hour period. Further west, in Magnolia and surrounding area, there's a bit more traffic. In the Magnolia area, I'd estimate 20-24 trains in a 24-hour period.
I wish the Fort Wayne line was busier. Hasn’t been the same since they took all the oil trains off the line in 2020. Causes a lot of congestion. Anyways great video keep the trains a coming. I hope to meet you soon
C45 has an 2000 OD time in Canton on weekdays. Occasionally they'll run a local extra on the weekends symboled as C51, and it might run at a different time. The C45 typically passes through Alliance in the 2200-0001 range, though it depends on what work they have.
