Description
This page shows my variety of railroad videos from over the years. In the future, I hope to add my entire collection of VHS videos from when I filmed trains as a kid. I am a die hard railfan and have always been passionate about documenting trains on film. Feel free to comment on my videos at any time, I love the feedback! Enjoy the show!

That's some very nice footage you got there, great to watch. I notice the doors on the passenger cars go all the way down to the ground - I've never seen that before. You never see that in the uk. Another thing you never see in the UK is double decker trains. Our tunnels and over-railtrack bridges are just too small. Most of our rail infrastructure, in terms of tunnels especially, dates back to the Victorian era.

Left hand running dates back to days when this was a Chicago & North Western line. They ran left handed going way back.

Metra 143 is a great F40PH-2 rebuilt to a F40PH-3.
