Great video of your day at Cresson, Pennsylvania! Everyone who was participating in the day seemed to be enjoying themselves for the viewing of trains and the companionship of the railfanning community that was present. For a Sunday, you had a lot of train viewing. Thank you for putting this video together and sharing it with us!

I love how railfan Rowan doesn’t worry about getting good shots of trains. He just haves fun and records the people there until the train gets close.

@for_by_grace 3 жыл бұрын

Hey Rowan! This particular video is the best I've seen to show to someone who doesn't understand what a railfan is. People sometimes ask me things like, "why do you drive 9 hours just to watch trains?", or "why go clear to Pennsylvania to watch trains?", or "what's it like to be a railfan?" "why do people call you a FOAMER"? I have sent this link to several friends who are just beginning to catch on. It is hard to explain until you stand 20 feet from a massive 4000 horsepower locomotive and feel the ground rumble below. Your video covers it well. Railfans have an instant brotherhood, there are no strangers. And, I really love to see so many young people getting excited about the hobby! be safe, .... Indiana Tom

this is pretty cool. for the last 10 years i wanted to see railfan videos reality TV style. i think this fits the bill. Nice to see so many railfans together. here in KS I'm always alone or with a friend or two. but never see group outings. Back in the 90's when the Santa Fe depot was still at Emporia, KS there used to be a lot of people watching trains there. But since the depot is gone not too many people go there anymore. Most people seem to railfan solo these days. and rely on social media to communicate.

Hello Railfan Rowan, It`s been a while since we`ve seen anything from you, I saw the first films from your hand again today, Beautiful to see those locomotives and the long freight trains passing by, I must say we missed you, I myself am also a machinist at the NMBS This is the Belgium Railways, Our freight trains are not as long as yours, But it`s always nice to experience the same as it goes with you, I should just ride with you sometime then it`s a party every day, But it`s such a long way from us to come over, But i hope that there will be more films from you now Rowan I`m happy to see you again on my Laptop My good Friend Your Belgium Friend Henk Van Zitteren❤😀😉
