Your welcome

I'm the local history buff railfan, more in the way of knowing what used to be where and what trains used to run. There's a lot of history to see out there if you look for it. All the way from depots to whistle posts and old rail (I found one near me rolled in 1950). It can be a good way to stay occupied between trains. I think there's two groups of good stuff, one is what you actively seek out (HUs, etc), the other being stuff that you see and think "that was nice," then forget about until you edit.

Great video! One that type that we frequently see is the car foamer, he just sits in his car reading the newspaper and pulls up as close to the tracks as possible, but never gets out of his car. We've encountered this type all over - Jenny

Your railcar numbers are 867 and 5309.

"I though everything was a GEVO at one point..." I went through a phase like that with the first locomotive I learned the name of, the General Electric U23C, it was somewhere around 2004 and 6 yo me had just learned the name of one of the most prolific locomotives in the area I lived from the first rail modelling magazine I had ever bought, so everything was a "U23C", some 3 months later I'd learn what was a SD40-2 and it all went down hill from there, so much so that now 17 years later I am the "encyclopedia" type railfan...

Lol I’m with you on the Gevo part. Ended up doing my own research to learn I was wrong on so many levels on so many things 💀

You should make a video of your least favorite to most favorite EMD locomotives because of your love for EMD. This was a GREAT video by the way!

Haha, thank you!

The “sd40-2” one used to be me soooo much lmfao I miss those days of not really caring what was on a train, it was just fun to watch.

One I can sort of think of is the railfan who will wait an eternity for a stopped train in their line of sight to move. But I think that’s sort of all of us to an extent. I think you got most of the good examples at this point.

nice vid! tho im missing the "visitor-railfan", its basicly a railfan from another country/ far away state that either goes nuts or just always wants the best shot because he/she has never seen the equipment on the train

Pardon me indeed for being so blunt, but I do believe the "vest railfan" is one of the few that my coworkers talk about often on the job and sadly, rightfully so, part of the reason why a few of them hate railfans or "foams" as we call them.

The same thing happened to me with GEVOs. 2 or 3 years ago when I first got into real trains, GEVOs were my favorite locomotive and I hated EMDs. Dash 9s, AC44s, everything that looked like a GEVO was a GEVO. I literally would call an ET44 a "broken ES44AC".

I love the new pfp! You did a great job (just the cowcatcher going out of the circle kinda messes with my mind a bit)

i knew we needed a part 4 lol, also like the new PFP!

Great video! There are ES44s in Heritage 2 colors, running on BNSF. These are the oldest gevos on the roster (built between 2002-2005). Also we have a good mix of 4 axle EMDs running on the Thayer Subdivision, although most have been rebuilt into GP25s (this includes GP50, GP40X, and a handful GP40 car bodies), plus there's still a few GP39E (former GP30s and GP35s) that show up every once in a while too. So we still have a fairly decent selection of motive power here.

Great work once again! I’m not really a museum type of railfan, don’t go to them that often either, maybe one day.

lmao i was just like that thinking every emd standard cab was an sd40-2

When I was younger, I was 100% a noob, so I live near CSX Territory, when whenever i'd see one, id called YN2 the "little bit of blue" and the YN3 "full blue" then about 2 years ago i found out what they actually are lol

I love how you just heard the scanner and mid video just went to catch a train😂

Good video. I'm a big fan of old classic rolling stock. Some of those freight cars are as much as 40 years old.

Fun fact when I was a noob. A while ago I couldn’t remember unit names so if they had 4 wheel trucks I called them babies. I remember more but throughout my group they still call them babies because it was just something that stuck 😅 I have many other hobbies I put time into so I still don’t know them all

I call every modern engine that is made by GE (the dashes included) a Gevo because I don’t care and respect them enough to call them by their real name.

Railfan scene! BNSF1458 is a good railfanner! Next time dont miss the train mate. Subscribed! Also heres the timestamp for the scene: 2:52

The railfan that doesn't have a tripod camera and just records using their phone. It's me. I'm that railfan.

2:52 would be “always caught off guard” i used this guy because i used to live literally a 5 minute walk from the tracks and the closest signal and my scanner gets the DD aswell so id wrangle up all my gear in a hurry to get out there but always missed the leaders by 30 seconds

I’ve got one. The desperate railfan. Will take video of a train in the car in a McDonalds drive through

Good to see the new 1458 already in use

"I thought everything that wasn't an EMD was a GEVO." lmao same. I have a railfanning friend (shoutout to him even though he probably doesn't know my channel) so he got me into trains. I learned anything that says ES is a GEVO, not every single GE one. I thought GEVO was just another way of saying a GE Locomotive. (it's not) I also named almost every single GE locomotive an AC4400C6M and every EMD an SD40-2. After a brief episode of Train Talk, I manage to identify them to some extent. Still can't identify GPs or some SDs so yay 🎉

Another Great Video Man! I see you got your logo in more detail! I think it looks Great! Keep Up the Great Work! 👍👍👍

I am guilty of all of these: Forgetting gear (forgot my battery which made the car drive a whole hour longer) False identifying locomotives (i still can’t identify standard cabs besides a few emds)

I'm the signal guy, history guy, horn guy, the scanner guy, and the know-it-all

Oh man! I can relate to the safety vest fans so much! I really had no idea there was such a thing until this video hahaha because I encountered one in Folsom California back in September of 2020 when I was wearing *real* PPE (acronym for orange reflective gear for those who may not know) with a hardhat doing *real WORK* (directional drilling) next to an old rail line that the city and many other bureaucratic entity's told us very clearly wasn't active because believe me we DONT want to get hit by trains LoL. Soooo the first day around 1pm, out of nowhere, this Railfudd comes up in shorts and white Tshirt with a beer gut -wearing a small orange vest he must have got at Lowes telling us we need to move away from the track because of safety and all this other bullsht. He had a phone to his ear the whole time but was literally talking to no one, we were pretty sure he was just using it as a security blanket; probably wanted to look like he was talking to his supervisor or someone but most people know what a person really acts like when they're really talking to someone on a phone. It was the moment after we asked a little further from our end about his credentials that he got to the part of his fudding around where he said _"I'ma..a volunteer"_ we all just looked at each other like Oooo000HHH *F_CK* So after a mild/short confrontation he walked back to his truck that had amber lights on for some reason and said he'd be back later. *_We never saw him again in that entire year long job lmao._* This all went down at the T section next to a raillroad crossing on White Rock Rd and Placerville Road, theres a small road connected called Payen Road. I was just taking a moment standing in the shade being cast by that solar panel when he came out of nowhere with that Railfudd crap LoL! Oh man good times. 🤣

I am an absolute noob 😂 I cannot identify any locomotive except for an SD40-2. For the next one you should do the steam train nerd, as what I am you can pretty much name any steam locomotive and talk about it for hours but can’t make a single diesel to save his/hers life.

I wouldnt mind sd40-2s if their horns werent so damn loud 😭 Amazing video!

I am a safety vest railfan and the heritage hopper foamer, although the safety vest one is not true for me, I don't trespass even if I am wearing a safety vest.

Bro that train that came by midway through the video really did say "Speaking of H2 AC44s."

What about that type of rail fan that doesn’t even get out of the house and just watches other peoples videos for the fun of it

I wouldn't really consider myself to be a museum railfan, while I do prefer steam engines over diesel and electric engines, if I see a diesel I like then I just take put my phone and take a picture of it. I only take photos of the engines, I don’t record videos of the entire train.

I am the noob railfan and like you said, before i watched this video i genuinely thought any dash 8, 9 or any standard cab GE diesel was a GEVO

Another great video, I wear a saftey vest because I'm out at night sometimes where there's no light at all,for my personal saftey,I don't trespass unless I'm unaware of private property

I recently got certified with personal track safety with metrolinx and there’s def a whole whack of stuff while working near the track then just a safety vest. If we are working within 30ft from the tracks (aka right of way or ROW), it’s not just safety vest but also full body hi vis clothing. Also mandatory safety steel toe boots and hard hat. A track safety foreman must also be present in some job sites to warn us if a train is coming. Also any vehicles that are also present within the ROW must have flashing amber beacon. So those who just wore a safety vest for “authority” is kinda just showing off and not actually used for safety as they claim. Tho I will understand if your parked on the road tho. The rules also differ too depending on which rail company you are working with.

@BNSF1458 For the next video: The type of Railfan that doesn’t cut the video until the train does an entire crossing sequence for the crossing behind him.

even tho its over i still git from other ones that one railfan that railfans all over the state. pretty much just goes every where. in the state even if its near a 2 mile long shoreline that one railfan that goes to the same spot everyday because their parnets cant take them somewhere. pretty much goes to the same spot everyday cause their parnets are tired of going to different spots. (Edit) the speed foamer only goes to spots that go 60 and more doesnt care if its 1 train a day just cares about speed

I am guilty of being a fallen flag rolling stock foamer, especially when it comes to Burlington Northern Equipment However, I my defense, I live east of the Mississippi River so seeing a singular piece of BN equipment is very rare for me.

Have you covered the crashing railfan? Basically the crashing railfan loves railroad related tragedies. And probably wish's to catch a loaded tanker truck get hit by a train one day and kill 5000 people in the area. And they will talk about trains crashes forever and ever and ever. My cousin is this type of railfan... His railroad knowledge is kinda... Well it has room for improvement. Bro he didn't know southern pacific 4449 had sisters. Btw I love railroad museums.
