Hello, and welcome to my channel!
My name is Nicholas. I'm a railfan Richmond, VA and I have loved trains my whole life! In fact, trains are the majority of the content you'll find on this channel. I'll also make other videos on occasion reflecting off my other interests. I'm also into military stuff, anime, History, animals, cars, farming, food, classic stuff, and much more. Notable work on this channel includes railfanning, gaming (including Eight Marbles and some older Mario games), and more. The Trainz series, Rails of Highland Valley, is also featured here. So if you're a fan of any of that, then you've come to the right place.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy my stuff! :)

Night Railfanning in Auburn, WA 3-12-24 (feat. BNSF Geeps, Amtrak Cascades, OCS car, and more)

On the evening of March 12, I delivered a load (which picked up in Minooka, IL, and all of the trains you saw in my previous railfanning video were taken while on that particular run) to the Safeway warehouse in Auburn, WA, outside of Seattle. The load wouldn't actually be taken off until the next morning, but this warehouse does allow drivers to park overnight if they have a delivery to make i...
Reading Rainbow: Kate Shelley and the Midnight Express (with There Goes A Train soundtrack)
Просмотров 345День назад
I'm sure I've seen this episode of Reading Rainbow when I was a kid. I rediscovered it recently, and looking back, it extensively reminds me of a similar production from the Real Wheels videos series called "There Goes A Train", as both were filmed in California in the 1990s, both featured Amtrak F40PHs (and ATSF FP45s in the intro), both featured LAUPT as well as the Amtrak maintenance yard in...

Some more Light Rail clips on my March 2024 Pittsburgh trip, and a couple of bonuses. These extra light rail clips are ones that I forgot to include in my PRT Light Rail compilation video from this trip. Enjoy. 3-3-24 (0:00): This was taken after walking Rocco with Amber and Ashley and before railfanning in Homestead that day. Uncle Ray stopped by and showed Mom and I his 2019 Dodge Challenger ...

One day later, I got to walk Rocco again! This time I went with Amber and Aunt Debbie (Ashley was at work). We went to South Park and walked up the steep hill on Sunny Slopes Road (that road is closed to vehicle traffic in the summer). Enjoy! (0:00): Riding in the car with Amber, Aunt Debbie, and Rocco. (8:15): Arriving at the parking lot near the South Park Children's Playground and the old So...

Here are some Pittsburgh Regional Transit Light Rails I caught around Library Township that day. Enjoy! (0:00): After seeing the horses from the previous video, Mom, Grandma, and I drove into South Park Township and decided to drive by Grandma's old house she lived in until after my grandfather passed away in December 2019. The neighborhood sadly went downhill since Grandma moved out. Anyway, t...
Return to the Allegheny County Police Horse Stable 3-1-24

Later after letting Rocco out as seen in the previous video, I went with Mom and Grandma to go see the police horses at the Allegheny County Mounted Unit Stables, next to South Park Fairgrounds. Normally the inside of the stable is closed to the public, but my Grandma knows some of the people who work there (she was the one who got one of the horses renamed "Cappy", in honor of my late grandfat...
A Brief Visit with Rocco 3-1-24
Просмотров 351Месяц назад
Here is the first video from my Pittsburgh Trip in early March 2024. I went with Mom and Grandma to see the horses at the Allegheny County Police Horse Stable, but first we stopped off at the Kubiak's house to let Rocco out for a bit (nobody else was home). As you can see, Rocco wasn't very energetic today when we let him out, except for when he saw another dog walking by on the street. At 7:29...

Here's my next compilation of various trains I caught while trucking, many caught from the cab, some from less than favorable views.. Enjoy. 1-22-24 (0:00): When leaving Minooka, IL, we pass some industry where I faintly caught a couple of industrial switcher locomotives. 1-24-24 (1:00): When leaving Council Bluffs, IA, we pass some freight cars in a siding off of I-80, and I barely caught UP G...
Best of Railfanning 2023

Sorry for the three month delay, but here it is. This video showcases some of the best catches I've made in the year 2023. This compilation is unique from others, as it features trains from many new parts of the country I've never had the opportunities to see before. It's been quite a ride. So sit back, grab your popcorn and a soft drink, and enjoy the show. Locations in order (asterisk indicat...

How to do a Pre-Trip Inspection (Trucking 101)
Love oil tankers!
Next challenge: catch one of the newest CAX HU’s
It will never be boring to see heritage units in action
Awesome catches nick
Thanks
@@TheNWClassA1218 You too bud
What bell was that
part 3
Note: That Horizon Cars are being used for the Cascades Trains after Amtrak Retired the Talgo Train Sets in 2020.
I know. I wish Amtrak kept the Talgos. They were much nicer.
Cure white and cure black
I won't describe a BNSF Warbonnet a Fakebonnet if it still has the original number.
The locomotive in question was delivered after ATSF merged with BN.
@@TheNWClassA1218 oh.
Liked that you decided to stop filming the grain train to film that helicopter flyby.
Do you know the CSX SD70ace 4839 on that highland valley episode what happened to Tannen?
His real life model was retired in 2016 due to an alternator failure. As of a few years ago, he was later refurbished and sold to Northshore Mining.
It’s cool you were in Washington because I’ve been there and I think it’s a beautiful state
Also if it may ask why are Lily and Marie now with NS instead of Amtrak as they we're originally on the series?
I do like it when you upload the episodes in their entirety instead of separate parts so can you please continue doing that
My guy was downing them coors light
I love N&W 611 and 1218. They are the best, and this museum is awesome.
Please upload the final part of this episode so that I can watch all of it besides I'm eager to see what happens to NS Lily
It'll be ready when it's ready.
Back then: Railroads are the nostalgic to see colorful, fleet, sleek steel of giants of the rails: It’s sad to see that it wasn’t the same anymore. No graffiti, just a sweet, got greatest manufactured, like Budd Company, ALCO, General Motors, Electro-Motive, General Electric, and various companies that America should considers to bring back our modern day. No mass highways, built tracks, and make MORE trains.👓🇺🇸🗽
I watched this when I was 7🥲
Is there going to be any more rails of highland episodes,I miss them sm
@@anime_jay331 There will be.
So laforge could repair warp coils and drive F40ph's who knew
LOL. Yeah I heard that LeVar was also in Star Trek. I'm not really into Star Trek though (the only sci-fi I like is The Terminator).
I wish Amtrak still used F40PHs and traditional streamliner coaches but then again, they were old and worn out. At least some lucky ones were saved.
At least Amtrak kept a handful of the F40PHs in service on select commuter routes (albeit without the primer movers).
@@TheNWClassA1218 Those are NPCUs. The only way a F40PH can still be functional is on either a Commuter Railroad or a Heritage Railroad/Museum. Grand Canyon Railroad has some F40PHRs in preservation. I say F40PHR because they were built from SDP40F Parts.
Nice! Was all this filmed today?
Thanks. Read the date.
@@TheNWClassA1218 okay thanks
😍
I remember this alongside Thomas and There Goes a Train, in fact maybe some of the footage may have been used in There Goes a Train IIRC.
The F40s are my fall time favorite Amtrak unit I also like the Dash8s
I could totally see this version with the music as being the original version if I didn’t know otherwise
the nostalgia hits hard with this one
Is there an ETA on the “Devil Code” part 3? I can’t wait to see my lines
Not yet. But I hope to have it ready by the end of this month or early July.
@@TheNWClassA1218 ok
Nice
Thanks
Do you like five guys burgers and fries also do you like milkshakes & soda & hotdogs?
Of course!
Excellent job
Thanks
@@TheNWClassA1218 You're welcome
I like seeing so many diesels of shape, size, and colors, even some old ones that are still running today.
Can you do that N&W tribute video? I really liked it.
Dry box .
That's the reason why got your cdl license. Driving a semi .
Is very driving and some country air and snow in march .
Nice! Is Montana good driving country?
Thanks! I’d say so. It’s a beautiful state.
Nice!
Thanks!
I thought you give up on your trucking job to spend time with your family.
This was taken before he quit. He left in April 2024 and this was taken in March.
I'm still behind on videos. This was taken before I left the trucking industry (at least for the time being).
@@TheNWClassA1218 oh
I love seeing rare locomotive liveries
How old is amber?
Around my age.
809 got scrap due to 809 hitting a school bus
I heard..
