I'm the local history buff railfan, more in the way of knowing what used to be where and what trains used to run. There's a lot of history to see out there if you look for it. All the way from depots to whistle posts and old rail (I found one near me rolled in 1950). It can be a good way to stay occupied between trains. I think there's two groups of good stuff, one is what you actively seek out (HUs, etc), the other being stuff that you see and think "that was nice," then forget about until you edit.

"I though everything was a GEVO at one point..." I went through a phase like that with the first locomotive I learned the name of, the General Electric U23C, it was somewhere around 2004 and 6 yo me had just learned the name of one of the most prolific locomotives in the area I lived from the first rail modelling magazine I had ever bought, so everything was a "U23C", some 3 months later I'd learn what was a SD40-2 and it all went down hill from there, so much so that now 17 years later I am the "encyclopedia" type railfan...

Great video! There are ES44s in Heritage 2 colors, running on BNSF. These are the oldest gevos on the roster (built between 2002-2005). Also we have a good mix of 4 axle EMDs running on the Thayer Subdivision, although most have been rebuilt into GP25s (this includes GP50, GP40X, and a handful GP40 car bodies), plus there's still a few GP39E (former GP30s and GP35s) that show up every once in a while too. So we still have a fairly decent selection of motive power here.

The same thing happened to me with GEVOs. 2 or 3 years ago when I first got into real trains, GEVOs were my favorite locomotive and I hated EMDs. Dash 9s, AC44s, everything that looked like a GEVO was a GEVO. I literally would call an ET44 a "broken ES44AC".

"I thought everything that wasn't an EMD was a GEVO." lmao same. I have a railfanning friend (shoutout to him even though he probably doesn't know my channel) so he got me into trains. I learned anything that says ES is a GEVO, not every single GE one. I thought GEVO was just another way of saying a GE Locomotive. (it's not) I also named almost every single GE locomotive an AC4400C6M and every EMD an SD40-2. After a brief episode of Train Talk, I manage to identify them to some extent. Still can't identify GPs or some SDs so yay 🎉

Usually what we get down here in Texas. Occasionally I'll catch an old, rusty bay window caboose on the freight trains that go by. Lots of oil trains too. I recommend you come to the Galveston Railroad Museum. There's a Santa Fe streamliner there, and sometimes it's put to use for touring. Don't know what specific unit it is though. Love your vids man!

Oh man! I can relate to the safety vest fans so much! I really had no idea there was such a thing until this video hahaha because I encountered one in Folsom California back in September of 2020 when I was wearing *real* PPE (acronym for orange reflective gear for those who may not know) with a hardhat doing *real WORK* (directional drilling) next to an old rail line that the city and many other bureaucratic entity's told us very clearly wasn't active because believe me we DONT want to get hit by trains LoL. Soooo the first day around 1pm, out of nowhere, this Railfudd comes up in shorts and white Tshirt with a beer gut -wearing a small orange vest he must have got at Lowes telling us we need to move away from the track because of safety and all this other bullsht. He had a phone to his ear the whole time but was literally talking to no one, we were pretty sure he was just using it as a security blanket; probably wanted to look like he was talking to his supervisor or someone but most people know what a person really acts like when they're really talking to someone on a phone. It was the moment after we asked a little further from our end about his credentials that he got to the part of his fudding around where he said _"I'ma..a volunteer"_ we all just looked at each other like Oooo000HHH *F_CK* So after a mild/short confrontation he walked back to his truck that had amber lights on for some reason and said he'd be back later. *_We never saw him again in that entire year long job lmao._* This all went down at the T section next to a raillroad crossing on White Rock Rd and Placerville Road, theres a small road connected called Payen Road. I was just taking a moment standing in the shade being cast by that solar panel when he came out of nowhere with that Railfudd crap LoL! Oh man good times. 🤣

I recently got certified with personal track safety with metrolinx and there’s def a whole whack of stuff while working near the track then just a safety vest. If we are working within 30ft from the tracks (aka right of way or ROW), it’s not just safety vest but also full body hi vis clothing. Also mandatory safety steel toe boots and hard hat. A track safety foreman must also be present in some job sites to warn us if a train is coming. Also any vehicles that are also present within the ROW must have flashing amber beacon. So those who just wore a safety vest for “authority” is kinda just showing off and not actually used for safety as they claim. Tho I will understand if your parked on the road tho. The rules also differ too depending on which rail company you are working with.
