Trains 21 is a documentary of railroading in the 21st century and a look at the fascinating world of transportation. On this channel we deal with all aspects of trains with a strong focus on the Northeast USA.
The goal is for you to learn a lot in a short amount of time.. A major infusion of knowledge in just a few minutes.. And if those few minutes distilled some of the best railroad information in the industry, we feel that we've done our job..
The trick is clarity.. Clear, concise and on point.. New videos are uploaded frequently and if you like what you see, comment, like and subscribe (in that order!).

A little off the subject but when i worked at the Bethlehem Steel Corp.in Steelton Pa. I was a locomotive crane helper. We used to dig our cars out of a draft on a spur track. My boss used to panic and told us to dig them out instead of waiting for the Steelton and Highspire R.R. to dig them out well needless to say we were pulling as high as 15 cars out to get to the ones we wanted. That was with an American Diesel Electric Locomotive Crane. Of course we smoked a few traction motors. That crane was not made to shift that kind of weight of course. Cool informative video.

And I thought getting the right tires for my pick up truck was complicated. ( LOL )

Thank you AC, you gave us a lot of history and explained a lot in this short video. Bravo!

@CobraChamp 10 месяцев назад

Great video but man you packed a ton of information into it. I think I'd need to watch it twice to really make sure I catch everything you said.

@kens.3729 Год назад

Always Enjoy seeing that good looking Consolidated Freightways Trailer sitting at the Site where your video began. That was a Huge Company when I was growing up.

@Trains21 Год назад

Thanks Ken. Did you notice the CF trailer @ 9:26??

Thanks for watching Foamer, I certainly intend to.

@withamarshview1436 Год назад

I am interested in this topic, but don't think I learned much. The zippy delivery had me struggling to keep up. It was like watching a pingpong ball get knocked back and forth. Also, referring to locomotives by their code numbers isn't helpful unless you explain what those numbers mean. For example: -944CW, AC4400CW, SD40‐2, SD70ACE, F9, F7.

@the_1drummajor Год назад

Those code numbers refer to the model numbers of each locomotive (EMD SD40-2, EMD GP40-2, GE AC4400CW, GE D9-44CW, EMD F7, etc). He was going a bit quick, I agree. And inserting puns along the way seems to throw his lecture off at times. To me, this video feels more like a history lesson on why certain railroads use certain configurations of locomotives than an actual lesson on how traction motors work. One would need to fully understand how traction motors and locomotive performance works first before we start having a discussion on locomotive applications in the industry but he's already got a head start on that so... there's a possible assumption that viewers should already know their locomotive basics (including to understanding how traction motors work)

@yardlimit8695 9 месяцев назад

I AGREE 100% ,,,,,,,,,,he knows quite a bit and a lot more than me, but his method of teaching leaves something to be desired......i wouldn't want him for a teacher in a class i had to get a passing grade in...........i do learn stuff from these videos but not as much as i'd like to......with all the work these videos take, you 'd think he would want it to be easier to understand and come away with the information he is presenting.......

This is when a DPU is needed for extra power and climbing steep grades.

@richintalent Год назад

AC do you think Amtrak is doomed? The last few issues of Trains magazine paint a pretty bleak picture of it.

@Trains21 Год назад

I don't think that Amtrak is going anywhere, but that's just my own personal opinion. Amtrak has struggled since the day it began operations back in 1971. To this day, it survives thanks to the Northeast Corridor and the Acelas, and maybe one or two other smaller operations around Chicago and/or the west coast.

@joshandkorinna Год назад

@@Trains21 Isn't the Auto Train profitable? And also, Amtrak being federally funded means it isn't going anywhere. I would assume anyhow. I know their goal is to make a profit while operating but even if they don't, doesn't the US Federal Government view it as providing a service for the the country, meaning it'll continue to operate even at a loss. This is mostly speculation from me. AC, I'm sure you're far more informed than me.

@Trains21 Год назад

@@joshandkorinna Yes, that's the other reason I don't see Amtrak going anywhere. Too much of the Midwest and other thinly populated regions that don't have robust public transportation systems depend on it.
