Mainly videos on railfanning Union Pacific, BNSF, Amtrak, Metrolink, Coaster, Caltrain, & ACE trains throughout California. Great weather, great locations, great trains !
My name is Brent and when I came to America in the 1980's, I've always heard about American trains and their size and power, so one day I decided to go trackside and watch a Union Pacific freight train roll by. The sounds, the horns, the vibrations, and the friendly crew made it all too an amazing experience that I will never forget ! Since then, I have always had a passion for railroading and began what would be my career in the railroad industry. I mainly focus on railfanning at different stations throughout the state of California to provide a holistic perspective, but will also try to attend railroad related events. However, due to the nature of my job, some uploads can have a substantial time gap because of my work. I currently use the Sony Handycam FDR-AX33 for all of my videos. Thanks for visiting my channel !

Playlist I found for videos at road intersections crossing the blue line trolley: kzread.info/head/PL48shhPqEXO-54mNy-YVDFS9HN3CYxI4O&si=dn_Oy_7eT1CTzlvl.

I miss you too! Come back and I'll see you soon!
My family and I stopped here on our way to Santa Cruz in November of 2022 to charge my dad’s Etron and it’s a really cute town
Fantastic video!
Thank you !
Yea great catches at this station in this town with the coaster and the picfic surfliner Sorry you couldn’t get any horn action because the quiet zone This zone got put up because it seems like some people who don’t like trains are complaining about train whistle They are complaining about the whistles because they think there too loud and disturbing and they money don’t like haw night trains can wake them up like the polar express so yea that why this zone is here we know. But I hurd this zone got lifted so naw these days any railfanning can get horn shows again but some old people are starting to complain about the nose again Hopefully some day the people who are complaining about train horns will understand that any railfan is out there trying to get horn shows
Thank you ! Yeah, I was fortunate to be able to catch some trains here a number of times before they implemented the QZ in late 2012. I’ve heard about brief lifts of the QZ and the few times horns are heard blowing again.
I see@@BrentNguyen46
I Love Ace Trains
Wasco is a middle of nowhere town
To be honest, it’s actually not as isolated as you may think. When I visited, it wasn’t much off the main highways to get here. If you want to see an example of a very desolate station, check out my “Railfanning Lompoc - Surf” video. That is one of the most desolate stations I’ve ever been to.
@@BrentNguyen46 okay
6:37 8:08
i still wanna know at what speed do Metrolink trains arrive at stations
Most heavy rail commuter trains usually approach the station around 30 MPH, but could vary depending on if the station is on a grade and the length of the train, etc.

I'll try to visit......
What camera do you use for recording?
I use the Sony FDR-AX33.
K5LA equals crown 👑
Cool! California Cars are based on the design of the Superliners, as are the Pacific Surfliners.
Why did the 2nd ACE train back up?
That particular ACE train was running with extra cars that day, presumably for a school field trip or some event that required more capacity. Because it’s somewhat rare, the train was close enough to the crossing that it actuated the signals and had to back up to clear the crossing while boarding passengers for about 10 minutes.
This video is awesome. I only wish it could be played in reverse for a “cab ride” on the trolley!
Thanks ! Yeah, it actually is possible to film out the front forward direction if you can film over the operator and if the operator is okay with a camera behind them, haha
Hay Brent I Was At The Berkeley Amtrak Station Too
Nice ! Yeah, it’s a pretty nice place to catch and see trains !
Just checking in Brent. It's now 2024 and was wondering if you had any railfanning trips planned this year?
Yeah, I’ve been fairly busy with other priorities the last two years but I’m truly hoping to get back out there and catch some trains this year. Still in the books are Van Nuys, Chatsworth, and Burbank at the very least, but hopefully soon. Thanks for the checkup ! Sincerely appreciate the continued viewership !
@@BrentNguyen46 Awesome!
I think I was on the coast starlight that day!
I Love ❤ to Take Caltrain Just For Fun Because I Like Trains
47:22 UPY 1005 Tier 4
My favorite locomotives are the ace chargers models because I like the design and how they look i wish I was operating or driving them
Metrolink recently added weekend service to this line. That was due to Ventura hosting the X games last summer.
4:18 That is such a beautiful K5LA! Is it the first generation?
The air horns on these DMU trains sound so different than they did back in 2014. They are also overhauling these amazing light rail vehicles nowadays similar to that of the NCTD Coaster bombardier bilevel coaches and cab control cars.
@3:30 those boys sign a death wish? That train was coming in HOT!!
I was in the trolley when i was 3 years old in 2010 ok
