Well, 2016 was actually a pretty good year for me railfanning wise, even though it sucked when you look at the big picture. I caught a lot of stuff I hadn't seen before or hadn't seen in a while, and I traveled quite a bit this year. Because of the amount of great stuff I caught, I've broken this video into two parts. This is the first part covering the first half of the year, from January to June. The catches in this video are:
-The RBB&B Blue Circus Train leaving Huntsville
-NS 335 with Canadian Pacific and Kansas City Southern engines trailing
-NS 6354 pulling NS A81, my first time catching an SD40E
-An ex-Burlington Northern rail crane
-A rather short and odd BNSF train, first time catching a BNSF ES40DC

-Union Pacific tri-clops SD60M trailing on NS 201
-NS 911 for the first time on NS 362
-First time catching an ex-Southern Pacific SD40M-2 still in the patched SP paint
-NS 1000 (NS's first SD70ACe) leading NS 737
-The Veterans Unit leading NS 325
-A pair of SD80MACs and the Southern Heritage Unit pull NS 201
-First time catching a GP20M-Q
-An empty Rail Train with an SD60M leading it
-First time catching an SD90MAC leading
-First time catching NS 26Q, D9-40C leading NS 26Q
-All YN2 lash-up on a CSX train
-AC6000 leading an ET44AH on a northbound CSX Intermodal
-First time catching a GP20M-Q leading
-First time catching a GP20D
-CSX V445 forgetting his conductor, an all YN2 lash-up on CSX V445
-SD60I leading NS 26Q with a friendly crew
-First time catching HMCR 8527 leading
-The Nickle Plate Road Heritage Unit trailing on NS 325
-All three (at the time) of the HMCR's operational engines together
-D9-40C leading NS 201
-SD70 leading NS 325
-The last NS 325 I caught
-The "Original Norfolk Southern" Heritage Unit trailing on NS 163
-The Wabash Heritage Unit trailing on NS 201
-Two SD60Es pull NS 17A
-D9-40C leads NS 201
-First time catching NS 117 (the train that replaced NS 325)
-First time catching an NS engine leading a CSX train
-YN2 AC44CW leading an ET44AH on a CSX Intermodal Train
-NS 911 leading NS 117
-The NS Geometry Train
-First time catching an SD40T-2 leading
-First time catching the NS GoRail engine, NS GoRail engine leading NS 201
-First time catching a CSX Road Slug leading, first time catching a CSX GP38-3
-First time catching the CSX Colonel Phillip Hooper engine
-NS 362 with 15 engines and the first shipment of NS's brand new ET44ACs
-First time catching the CSX OCS train
-NS 362 with the largest lash-up of engines I've ever seen (17 engines) and another shipment of NS ET44ACs
-First time catching an Amtrak B40-8W
-First time catching the LORAM Rail Grinder
-All YN2 lash-up on a northbound CSX Intermodal Train with three engines
-High-hood GP38-2 leading NS A81
-First time catching an NS ET44AC in revenue service

0:55 wow! You don't see self-propelled cranes move that often, especially at a crossing! 1:18 wow! that is a nice catch! I thought the train was going to be longer! 2:22 I've only seen one SD60E in person, and it's nothing special! 2:56 I like this paint scheme better than the plain blue! 3:40 Nice catch of an SD40-3! 4:16 were you expecting NS 9-1-1? It's pretty cool you caught it leading! 4:41 I don't think CSX uses their SD70Ms that much anymore! 4:43 Wow! An old SP unit on the same train! 5:22 you even caught the veterans unit? What type of horn does it have? 5:42 The only special NS power I've seen in the KC area were two Operation Lifesaver units (one I saw this year, while trying to find a heritage loco!) 6:06 Where was this? I don't know the map of the NKCR! 6:30 I like that horn! It has to be an S3L! 6:38 the conrail boxcar doesn't seem to be that faded! 7:22 was that SD90 rebuilt yet? 7:45 WOW! there must've only been less than 20 narrow nose Dash 9s built! 8:06 something must be wrong with the crossing lights! 9:07 what type of crossing bell is that? 11:22 I've only seen a freight train stop while I was watching it when the middle passed me twice! 12:53 that must be an S3L horn as well! 13:46 what a San Luis and rio grande loco doing so far from Alamosa? 14:19 so HMCR has a Southern high hood and normal version of the same GE U boat! 17:58 why weren't the gates lowered? 18:33 WOW! you cuaght NS 9-1-1 leading two different trains in the same year?! 19:00 do NS 38 and 34 still have cab controls, or are they just for carrying inspectors? 19:29 so Sp tunnel motors are still at work in gray with red ends! 19:59 You're rally lucky for finding all the special SD60Es in the span of one year! 20:20 Is 2264 the only rebuilt GP30 of CSX to still have its original shape? 21:13 I guess CSX is the last American railroad to name some of their locomotives! 22:08 WOW! a 15 locomotive lash-up! I saw a BNSF 13 locomotive lash-up this year (It didn't have any freight cars) 22:57 I guess CSX's business cars are the rarest of all the Business cars owned by major American railroad companies! 22:37 YEEEAAHH BOII! 17 locomotives long! are these the same teir 4s as earlier? 23:58 What day was it Taken? (it would've been awesomer to be the Captial limited carrying charger 4604!) 24:05 what did Amtrak do with their old Diners? Some should be sent to museums! 24:40 the Loram engines look a lot like Australian ones or the GT46! 25:19 what's that car between the caboose and tank car used for? I've seen a Loram grinder set three times, but never moving! 25:47 I've seen that strange e bell mounting place on a Sherman Hill crossing! 26:05 what type of horn is that? 27:12 I've seen this loco arrangemnt on a few UP trains, but never a BNSF train!

2:56 I like this paint scheme better than the plain blue! - I agree, YN2 is probably CSX's best paint scheme. 4:16 were you expecting NS 9-1-1? It's pretty cool you caught it leading! - Yes. Thanks! 4:41 I don't think CSX uses their SD70Ms that much anymore! - They do sometimes. Not nearly as often as their GEVOs and AC44s though. 5:22 you even caught the veterans unit? What type of horn does it have? - Yep. A fouled RS5T. 6:06 Where was this? I don't know the map of the NKCR! - Cherry Street in Attalla, AL on the ATN. The ATN is borrowing the engines from their sister railroad, the NKCR. 6:30 I like that horn! It has to be an S3L! - I think it's an RS5T, but I'm not sure. Sounds nice, either way. 7:22 was that SD90 rebuilt yet? - No idea, but I don't think so. 7:45 WOW! there must've only been less than 20 narrow nose Dash 9s built! - Actually, there were 125 standard-cab Dash-9s built, all for Norfolk Southern. 8:06 something must be wrong with the crossing lights! - Just the LEDs messing with my camera. They worked perfectly fine in person. 9:07 what type of crossing bell is that? - General Signals Type 3. 12:53 that must be an S3L horn as well! - Yea, I believe that's an RS3L. 13:46 what a San Luis and rio grande loco doing so far from Alamosa? - The HMCR bought it from the SLRG. 14:19 so HMCR has a Southern high hood and normal version of the same GE U boat! - The high-hood is actually a B23-7 (note the flared radiators) while the high-hood is a U23B. Pretty much tow generations of the same model of engine. 17:58 why weren't the gates lowered? - The gates weren't installed yet, so the gate mechanisms weren't hooked up. I don't think the old relay case had relays for the gate mechanisms anyways, as that's what those signals were operating off of at the time. 18:33 WOW! you cuaght NS 9-1-1 leading two different trains in the same year?! - Yep. 19:00 do NS 38 and 34 still have cab controls, or are they just for carrying inspectors? - No idea. 19:59 You're rally lucky for finding all the special SD60Es in the span of one year! - Thanks! 20:20 Is 2264 the only rebuilt GP30 of CSX to still have its original shape? - No idea. 22:37 YEEEAAHH BOII! 17 locomotives long! are these the same teir 4s as earlier? - Nope. That's a different shipment of Tier-4s. 23:58 What day was it Taken? (it would've been awesomer to be the Captial limited carrying charger 4604!) - 6/16/16. 24:05 what did Amtrak do with their old Diners? Some should be sent to museums! - No idea. 25:19 what's that car between the caboose and tank car used for? I've seen a Loram grinder set three times, but never moving! - IDK. Probably extra power. 25:47 I've seen that strange e bell mounting place on a Sherman Hill crossing! - It's CSX's standard mounting. UP's standard is similar, but a bit farther down. 26:05 what type of horn is that? - IDK. Maybe a P3?
