This channel is all about trains. There are at least two videos a month that I post. One of them is the BNSF Wayzata Sub the other is the CP Paynesville Subdivision. Those are the two that I currently live close to. I often upload those videos on the last day of the month. Videos range from 3-10 minutes I try to change the angles during the video instead of recording the entire train. Always open to new ideas feel free to comment.
@@Minnesota_Rails Not the biggest pan of the paint condition on 1832, but it is a unit I have not caught leading so it was a little worthwhile to catch while being up in the Northwoods. Next video will be about the NSM of what I caught on the 3 days I was up there.
@@Minnesota_Rails Best location to wait around would be Nelson Road Toimi. People rarely use the at road, so you can peaceful hope a train is coming there. But if you want the most action, it would be down by Silver Bay but there aren’t many public viewing spots there without the risk of NSM telling you to leave. All the spots along Airport Road are owned by NSM and can tell you to leave if you’re waiting around there.
I will be In the Wayzata Bay area from June 10t to June 14th. Do you have time to show me around the Wayzata and Paynesville Subs this summer? Im staying at the Hotel landing off of lake street
I really expected to catch it only 4 times from Minot to Glenwood, thinking they would be flying down the main. They were only doing about 40 most of the way. I was in no desire to break as many road laws as some others were doing during the chase. I’m sure you noticed doing your chase. The road layout and railine don’t parallel the tracks so going from Valley city to Enderlin is an unfortunate section.
@@ahtrains Yep, I just followed a few other vehicles that left from VC down 94 and turned off in their direction and there we where at the Fingal crossing.
Nah, this trains speed is good enough. Remember, this is a nearly century-old locomotive, and running it as if it were fresh off the factory will bring unnecessary wear and tear on components - and there's not enough spare parts to go around.
That's what a real steam whistle sounds like. Having grown up in Calgary, I have heard it several times on the steam train that operates at Heritage Park. It only sounds unnatural if you're used to the air horns that they use on diesel units.
@@bartwentink2189 i know what a real one sounds like. its just the fact that theyre using a push button to operate it like a diesel horn rather than the way a steam whistle is traditionally operated that makes it sound so unnatural. I'm use to hearing a little slide into the notes that the whistle plays because of pulling the whstle cord.
@@VirgotheDrusky 2816 has two whitsles, the original is a 6 chime located in front of the cab and pull operated but is too quiet to pass regulations for use in most provinces of canada and some states in the usa. so they use a newer but still quite old button operated steam whistle that is 2x as loud as the older one for basic rail use. There are vids on youtube where you can hear the 6 chime blasting as it passes by and it is majestic.
Going to meet her in Shreveport. She will come through Houston, where I live, but she can't stop here because she'll be on UP tracks, and UP isn't really celebrating the CPKC merger... LOL
