I like documenting shortlines, Alcos, and the side of railroading not often shown, but more importantly, I just love to travel. Do you know what time it is? It’s chase time, let’s go.
Come join us every Friday night for a new video premiere! New videos will also drop on other days of the week, so don't forget to click the bell so you know when a new video releases.

Great vid. Not sure when you filmed this but I was thinking I was on that Amtrak train in WRJ until I saw there was still snow on the ground. I rode Amtrak in July. We were passed by a southbound freight as we were pulling into WRJ. Keep up the great vids, I especially enjoyed the ones on the Barre Montpelier lines.
Will it pass Spirts baggage test😂
How long ago did you record this?

Which part of USA and what is the temperature
Clean windows!!!!
saw this while being delivered on the UP geneva sub near chicago
We love switchbacks
I wish it came Brittish Columbia Canada
No such place as "Okemo Mountain". Okemo is the name of the ski resort. The mountain is Ludlow Mountain.

A good, strong cup of coffee early before the sun rises while watching a parade of trains, what more can you ask for? What earthquake? Well, I am in Texas. Haven't felt any of the reported ones out in the Permian basin thus far.
The train stations look awesome and in pretty good shape. Thanks for getting some good pics of them!

QGRY is a railroad I need to cover. Most of the old ABS block signals are still in place like they used to be on Irving and CMQ. Nice catch!
@@Maine_Railfan 919 is always a great grab after Sartigan or other action in the area. Leaves between 4 and 5 usually.
Nice catch
5-mins in and I am already disappointed because the entire consist of gondola's & hopper cars are never shown and I can't tell how many cars the 2 Geep's are hauling. Missing out on the entire train being pushed up the switchback was a big disappointment too. I stopped watching after that. 👎👎
Hey I dont wanna sound mean but Rideau is pronounced Ree-doe!
@@RealDoctorMuffins Correcting my pronunciation is never mean because I know I butcher it constantly on your side of the border 😂
Indeed the bridge is inspiring. The bridge at Lethbridge, Alberta is comparable, as are bridges in the US. The UP (nee, SP) "High Bridge" over the Pecos River near Del Rio, TX and the UP bridge in Washington State over the Snake River (perhaps the Palouse River) are other impressive long bridges.
You caught my friend Newell decker on camera.
What NECR doing in Rutland
I’d love to learn more about these operations up in Vermont! Great video!
I’ll take 431 thank you, great to see it and superb video as always
No wonder Amtrak didn’t respond back in White River. If I was piloting an engine with such a disgusting horn, I wouldn’t want to broadcast it either
@@MillersRailfan 😂
Great catch @ Claremont
diland6948, like trump, is a quick study, isn’t he?
Would love to make up to Dorval for some railfanning.
CP 9782 actually was AWVR 767 the CP that was AWVR 777 was 9777, but that is a sick catch I need to go catch it at Saratoga
@@colinthepanamerican CP 9782 “played” 777 during early production of the film. A 10 second google search reveals that information.
Ohhhhhh okay
@@NorthCountryTrains😂😊😅😂😅😂
Nice US&S Teardrop bell at that first crossing!
The dip in the track in the tunnel is from the work for double-stack clearance. Couldn't raise the roof of the tunnel due to the buildings on top, so they lowered the floor. If you look closely they also cut notches in the arc of the ceiling to help with clearance.
I see they moved the number boards down, or did Tony have them put on the cab?
Great Video.
That high bridge in Claremont had "I love Jeff" written on it. Made me laugh! That's quite the height to be painting anything!
Don't look for me I live in Ottawa 😅
🤩 wow That geometry box is so much more beautiful than csx’s Do you know if it also has solar panels on its roof like Csx’
I have to agree with u I like CO Better than CSX
Great show as always Harrison! Glad you got home safe after that hard-charging day! You take it easy and don't kill yourself on our account, OK?
@@wayneantoniazzi2706 take it easy? Nice joke 😂, I don’t know how to take it easy
Excellent Video & Shots!
Wow the EkyRail bells are in full force over there
@@steventurner820 yes they are (Canadians are horrified)
Another fine video that was enjoyable to watch!🚂🚂
Thank you dude, from South Africa.
Great video and shots. Insert the Milwaukee Road meme at the end of the video 😂

Great video! Was that field of old cars on tracks on 302, or maybe route 5?
It’s a private collection, stopped once as a kid. There’s a large loop track that the owner would drive a 44 ton GE around on.
@@ericprovost6804 Private collection? Wow. Some guys have all the luck! Must be nice to have your own twelve-inch-to-the-foot scale model railroad! 🤣
@@jdhinckley1954 it’s on route 5

A sad ending to a to a promising endeavor. The foreign owners pulled the plug on the main revenue stream for this line. The cement plant. For economic reasons, so they reported. I suspect they went GREEN! Coke and natural gas fueled production process. Only a theory though.
Just so you know, the crossing you show as Barre Montpelier road in Barre is the town of Berlin. Also Berlin is where Montpelier Jct. is actually located. I grew up in Berlin.
I've been to this awesome museum so many times that I've totally lost count --- probably well over a dozen! :D 1:40 Morrison Hill Station is the only known surviving waiting-station from the old Portland-Lewiston Interurban line. 2:38 Track-laying machinery for bending rails and tamping tie-ballast. 5:30 Back in the late '80's when I first visited this museum, they didn't have this track-loop at Talbott Park which allowed for simply turning around and heading back the way they'd come, and so they had to just stop at the end of the track that had been usably built so far, flip the seat-backs so that the seats now faced the opposite direction, and then drive the trolley back using the controls at the opposite end of the car. Most of the trolleys in the museum's collection have identical front ends and reversible seats like this; one of the few that do not is the "Golden Chariot", seen at 14:35, and which has controls only at the front end. So before the loop-track was added at the far end of the line, this car had to actually be driven backwards to return to the museum headquarters, with the passengers all riding backwards (because the seat-backs were rigidly attached and therefore not able to be flipped around to make the seats face in the opposite direction), and the power-pole extending out over the seats instead of out over the back. This last feature was uniquely pleasurable in that you could easily hear the pole "singing along" (i.e., making a musical-buzz humming sound from the electrical sparks) on the overhead wire just a few yards above your head, and the metallic electric-guitar-like "twang" of the wire as the pole passed underneath each of the supports that held up the wire, momentarily releasing its upward pressure on the taut wire and then catching it again. :D 10:33 "Meserve's Crossing" was named after the farming-family that would always be let off there when returning home at the end of the day. :D 15:55 The first trolley car that was museum-preserved in the **entire world** --- this is the 'original" or "kernel" car that the entire "surrounding" museum was "built around". A number of young men who had loved to ride this trolley to and from Old Orchard Beach had heard that it was going to be scrapped, and so they pooled their money and bought the car for $150.00. That was back in 1939, and look how truly gigantic the museum and its collection have grown in the past 85 years! :D
I watch those trains every day we work in the brown building at Forbins in Barre! Rough set of tracks, but that rock rolls by morning and night on them. The tracks from Barre up to the quarry close once snowfalls, but the engines live in that lot all winter and still roll every day
My first heritage unit was CSX 3415
I had the pleasure of working for the DH from 1979-1986 - I started as a yard clerk in Oneonta NY but transferred to Albany NY to work in the new centralized crew dispatcher’s office with J.T Delano in 1981. During that time, I worked in Fort Edward - Saratoga- Mechanicville clerking on my days off. We even loaded VW vehicles at Kenwood Yard for a time. When the representative from Guilford Transportation a Mr Maxwell said the DH was going to be reduced to a single iron railroad I could see the end of an era for the old road. We would become a branch and would eventually split the company up. Fitzgerald would take a day off and I would call the crews on the north end of the railroad. Great hard-working people like the Layfette’s and Carpenter’s to go to work in Whitehall NY. God Bless-
