I don't know where to post this but figured it could go here.

Did I legit just hear Amtrak P-371 go into emergency because someone jumped off the train?

Amtrak P371 in Grandville at 6:19am. IDTX 4622 leading and 3 superliners.

6:28am CSX Q327 in Grandville. Engines 718 and 253 leading. Never seen him that close behind Amtrak.

115 cars total. A ton of a scrap metal as well.

Amtrak P371 through Grandville at 6:18am with IDTX 4622 leading and 3 superliners.

Was nice seeing the superliners back again.

Well folks I took a ton of consideration in what you said. I got the railfan video posted and it turned out pretty well.

If you want to watch then feel free.

Hey Folks, I've been working in photoshop today creating a lower quadrant that would popup with some train information. I'm no expert in photoshop but the attached file is what I have for CSX. NS, BNSF, and CN will soon follow. Trying to keep the company colors in the mix without actually using thei...

OMG that's a really hard way to go though. I mean how fast does that train go through there. Although, thoughts to the guys family.

I also like a "little" narration or subtitles about what train it is, what it is currently doing, where it originated from and where its destination is and line history. Perhaps a weather report and road update are not necessary. The video of the train itself was nice to watch. I am one of "those" ...

Created a new intro piece for the videos. I ended up using the Grand Elk shot I got. That way its something original to me. When its nice outside for a small narration piece for the Wyandotte railfanning day I will start that video. Hopefully I can get it posted on Monday.

On the contrary to what SD80MAC said, I actually like narration/interview style shots. This may sound weird, but I also like hearing the back stories to railfanning catches and whatnot, because they can be quite interesting. One thing you could change is maybe the intro shot, kinda ripping off Dann...

My opinion, lose the talking/interview part. No need for a logo or a "company name", simply show us the train, add a subtitle with train and location info as needed. Short, sweet, and simple. No one really wants to sit through minutes of dialogue. Just my 2 cents. Thanks for the tip. I had thought ...

So I've been on leave from work because of an emergency appendix surgery a week ago. I'm out for two weeks because of this and missed out on taking a railfan trip to Durand during its Rail Days Festival. Trust me I was bummed about that. However, It gave me perfect time to actually start making my Y...

The portion in profile for YouTube channel seems to be broken. I tried putting my channel link in there and it tells me incorrect characters. Upon investigation I realized it wants to use www.y outube.com/user/channel address. YouTube stopped using the user portions sometime ago. Granted if your acc...

CSX Q327 Heading into Grandville around 6:59am. CSX Engine 525 leading. A bit of a sluggish take off.

CSX Engine 3139 in DPU. Didn't count how many cars deep. This engine sure was working hard. Beautiful strong sounding engine.

P371 Through Grandville around 6:20am. Was recording so didn't get exact time.

IDTX #4606 and four cars. Wonder what happened to the double-decker cars.

Q326 Grandville at 3:59pm 59 cars.

What a beautiful sounding horn.

Q326-18 @ 14:15:03 eastward Bangor's Division Street crossing mp CG60.93 cam with CSX engines #7807 + #5460 & 59 cars. At this time, still no activity heard from the Geometry Train W001 that had tied down on the Stub Track mp CG86.8 in Benton Harbor last night. Yeah I still haven't received news fr...

Just a heads up. Have a friend that works for the company that gives rides for the crew changes. She informed me that today a CSX Geometry train will be coming up from Benton Harbor into Grand Rapids. At this point in time no ETA but she told me once she receives news about a crew change she will no...

I’m here right now all day until 9 or so. I got to work all day on Saturday and on Sunday night.

Hopefully some decent action. Also hope the festival is just as lovely. I know tomorrow is a slight severe weather risk so probably not gonna be a good train day anyways.
