  We are the same age, I grew up in Park Ridge, near the Chicago & North Western Harvard Line. Would have loved to hang out with you guys!

  I had a friend that lived on Touhy about a mile west of the depot. Was out there a lot back then.

  Terrific photos, especially considering the era when film and processing costs prohibited taking an unlimited number of snaps. The rail industry really was in tough shape then, both freight and passenger. Who would want to board some of that rickety rolling stock for a ride to work downtown?

  6:45 the A.20 must’ve been so much different from now. I’ve been there a few times, and I always see this siding where it looks like the C&M was triple tracked up until the Northbrook Metra stop. I wonder if that was there when you were young.

  I’m from Hong Kong and I’m really surprised you took pictures of our EMD, sadly since the freight service has closed in 2010, they were used for maintenance until 2021 because of signal change leading to their retirement, unfortunately only three were preserved. I’m also surprised that you visited my family’s Chinese home city Chongqing and my current city Hong Kong, also you have showed a lot of rare locomotive and the steam factory. (a lot of the railway lines you’ve seen it already gone or has been replaced by high-speed lines.)

  Ha! “They’re called EIGHTHUNDREDS” I can hear the tension in your breath… hahahaha! This was great. I was stationed at Great Mistakes Naval Painful Center 1989, 90 then went to the Gulf War and Somalia, then back to Grave Mistakes in ‘93 I saw some memories brought to life here, so thanks. I didn’t do as much rail fanning as I could have, but I walked out to Rondout tower from the base and the J used to grind by the Navy base just about every afternoon. Rode the South Shore but not the IC electric. Got a few decent slides of the BN E unit fleet.

  Great video. Thank you for capturing an historic time in railroading. I started rail fanning around the same period. A lot more diversity of railroads and locomotives back in those days. Really liked Rock Island too bad they didn’t merge with Southern Pacific.

  28:58 and to think they would build there last JS class a few years later for one of the last ones to be sent to the states, since it was cheaper then rebuilding even with shipping.

  This is definitely one of the best video I have ever seen on youtube. Thank you so much for it. My parents are both the same age of you, they graduated from university in 1985 and just started to work at this time. My dad then went to the US in 1989 to do a research degree in computer science, after he returned to China he worked as a system engineer for telephone and mobile exchanges and travelled to every single province of China for his work. Your photos allows me to see my parents' early age and how it was back then in the country. I'm very grateful to your courage of travelling in a complete foreign country all by yourself, which brings such precious records of what China was like back in the time.

  Thank you so much! The young lady with the number 15 balloon was celebrating her quinceañera. Her 15th birthday! I’m planning on building an n scale layout, not of the entire canal, but just the area. So the information that you provided on the locomotives and the rolling stock is extremely helpful. I’ve been to the canal but now that I’ve been doing this research we were planning to take that railway when we return. Thanks again for the amazing pictures and video.

  I really enjoyed this. I lived in China through 2011-2019. We travelled mostly by high speed rail but my girlfriend and I would sometimes go out of the way to take a slower diesel K-train and look out the window of the dining car while drinking tea and eating a locally themed meal. Thanks for taking me back to those moments.
