I can't be the only one who still goes back to watch this amazing movie from time to time. It has to be the best simulator-based rail series since The Full Bucketniers. Not even dajara521's films come close.

Truly a classic series of my childhood.

Almost a decade later and this series is still my favorite trainz videos on KZfaq. Just rewatched everything and brought back so many good memories. 🙂

Ah the Nostalgia. Hard to imagine this is a Decade old. Thanks for the memories in these trying times.

Tears started rolling down my eyes when I realized this series is done for.

13:17 Mohawk (now diesel): you thought I was gone... but I’m back... and better than ever! (Lights come on) and I’m just getting started. (Horn blows) and you better watch out.

12:03 good effect on the burning breakes

The ending made me cry...

6:55 Mohawk: OH SCRAP! I gotta get outta here!

This. This brings me back. Thank you, this was my childhood, I love these videos, even though I have moved on to cars, these hold a special place in my heart, especially Ep. 5 those E7/E8/E9s were my favorite locomotives and still will be, this has brought back nostalgia, memories, so much, thank you for making these, in a few years, I might revisit these, who knows?

I is sad that he died. But it always makes me feel so good when you said the diesels got the same punishment as the steam engines. They diserved it!

may 3124 rest in peace and travel along in our hearts

For those who are still patiently waiting on the sequel to this series, I am happy to announce that a new PC has finally been secured! Next step is to secure myself a copy of Trainz 12, and then filming can begin!

Thank you Ron for creating what became my childhood! This series stuck with me up till now, and they still evoke the same emotions it gave me back then!

Well well well... Am I the only one who still watch this on 2022

It has been 10 year since my first time watching this now im still in love with this Amazing 😍

man you just had to make a GTEL a bad guy didnt you. i love this by the way! the intense scenes and the GTEL flying off the tracks this is amazing man!!!!

This is a certified fucking classic my dude, even 12 years later it’s still a classic

Simply awesome!!!

12 years later and the story is still better then most movies these days, this s a timeless classic and I hope this remains on youtube for many years to come

My sincerest apologies to those who have been waiting for a sequel to this. Everything is in place for production to start, but I've been rewriting the screenplay in hopes of producing something a little higher in quality. That, combined with my line of work, has made production slow. I thank those of you who are patient, and I hope that whenever the sequel is released, it will have been worth the wait.

coming back to this after years of watching this as a child really made my whole day, videos like these were a big part of my childhood, and I just wanted to say thank you so much for making my little self entertained all these years! :)

I’ve only watched part 5 and 6 of this series but I already understand the plot from those parts. This was beautifully made. Amazing job on making this!

years later.. and I still want to cry.. AMAZING!!

7 years later still enjoy watching it

I do have plans to make a continuation based on the diesel shown at the end. However, I do not have TRS 2012, nor the time to properly work on the series. I may be able to start serious work at the end of this year. Sorry for the long wait, but that's how things are right now.

why is it I get the chills Everytime when the whistle is blown XD

The Reaper Diesel is just trying to help the 844 to do its work to be behind.

Opening of the sequel "its been 6 years since it died.." "but now...." "its reborn." *DUNNNNNNNDUNUUDUNUDUNDUNN NUNUNUDNDUNDUNNNNNNNNNNN

It will be only a few years before we hear the sound of Mohawk 3001 whistle again hopefully it will sound like the whistle at the end. I hope there will be another series of the SP engine 8364.

Nostalgia overload,And I’m now old enough to Fully realize the great taste in music for this!

I love 8364 Firing up at the end. Awesome clue to the future.

The whistle at the end made me cry.........Great series!!!

You know, if Disney did a Trains movie, they should come to you for suggestions, because this movie was awesome :D

10:07 come on, Mohawk!

boy if only they could make hollywood steam railroading movies like this. this is incredible stuff. and i cannot get enough of it. awsome work ron keep them coming of the mohawk that will never quit.

Neutral ending: 3124 runs away never to be seen again Bad ending: 3124 collides with a UP reefer train head on. Good ending: 3124 instead goes to San Juan Colorado and ends up on the San Juan west Worst ending: 3124 gets scrapped along with all NYC steam locomotives. Best ending: NYC spares 3124 for eternity. The ok ending: 3124 gets put on static display in a museum.

Aaron (funny, that's my name too) I want to thank you. Before I watched this series, I had no clue where I wanted to take my life. I had a few ideas, but there was no passion in them. As a child, I loved everything train related, but lost touch with that passion as time went on. Your videos started me on a binge of train videos, reconnecting me with this passion. Inspiring me to become a conductor, and maybe one day, an engineer. I found a program to train (haha) me to be a conductor, and once I save enough money, Ill be on my way. I don't know exactly what got me hooked, the cinematics, the music, the story. Maybe it was a combination of those things. All I know is, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be close to a career like this. I hope you make the sequel as good, if not better then, the original.

Just remembered this again cuz i watched a video on the Niagara steam engine from high iron YT channel.. Man, this is still such an amazing series. I didn't know it really then, but this helped teach me its better to die on your 2 legs than to die on your knees from tyrannical powers. I wish this could have continued into what it would have been!!

oh my gosh! my 9 yr old is in TEARS! He came into the living room after watching the final episode and was just beside himself. When I finally got him to calm down he told me I just had to see for myself. LOL!! Poor kiddo! I tried to explain but he didn't understand. That boy LOVE trains!!

Excellent work Aaron! This is full of win!

omg I just re watched the series and It made me cry made me think of my childhood

i hope you make the squel soon, i really enjoyed the first part and it made my day so much better to watch it. thank you for making this video

i came here for the nostalgia...

13:57 YAY SOUTHERN PACIFIC!!

13:17 I thought this diesel was the #3124 lol. But honestly I felt sorry for him in the end.

Certified classic !

You know this series will and is probably be remembered as one of the greatest trainZ series ever made and I bet the second we get a better Mohawk some one is going to jump on making a remastered version of this film.

Simply outstanding video series!!!!

My 2-8-8-2 *4500* is modified. It has the GS-4 enginespec. It will kill those evil diesels.

oh my godi have spent HOURS trying to find this oh my god! i remember watching this as a little kid haha

omfg that was amazing great job!

In this series, 3124's whistle is a recording of MDWhistles' NYC 6-chime. Taken from this video: /watch?v=BnhNPNP64ik

Worth. Every. Minute. Need I say more about this movie

I loved this series. It was the greatest series than any other. I had a good idea, if another series was about a steam locomotive in the U.S. that surived to this day. But did the same thing #3124 did only this time she accomplishes her mission that #3124 could not. Steam holds a special place in my heart. Than those electric boxes on wheels.

IT'S OUT!!! IT'S FINALLY OUT!!! RON I'VE BEEN WAITING SO FUDGING LONG FRO THIS, I'M FREAKING OUT!!!

Years later, I watched this series for the second time! Would be nice to see a happy version of the ending. But other than that, this was very well done! Something like this can be made into a live action movie, but there is one that I know of; “587 The Great Train Robbery.”

Part 5 was the first part that i watched and its the best

2:02 the phantom came back for a couple of seconds

ron, i think you should make a video called "The SD-40 that wouldn't quit" No. 8364 could escape from the scrappers in california and head to EMD headquarters in ontario and be assisted by the spirits of engines and trains whose lives were ended in vain, such as 3124, a GG1, or perhaps a United Aircraft TurboTrain.

This was the best anime I’ve ever seen

@Hightrain12 Yes, I am working on a derivative series featuring the SD40T-2.

If I remember correctly, the first route is Desert Wood, which can be grabbed from USLW's site. The second route is the Clovis 2 route from checkrail. The E units were distributed via email, but I unfortunately don't have them anymore. Let me just note that you can still make a series like this and not use any of the content shown in mine. Just a matter of being creative. ;)

To those wondering what the music that lasts a few seconds at the beginning of the chase is, It's the original (not season 0) Yugioh Theme.

10 year old series and I still love it

Can someone make an alternate ending for this? We need a happy ending to go along with this!

Best Trainz series ever on youtube.

3124 was so close. At least he gave the diesels one more good blow.

On my trainz railroad I pretend that 3124 survived the crash and I saved him and give the name Markrow (Creative name).

Loved it =D when is there gonna be one about diesel? good work loved the whole thing

when are u going to make another series and what was the locomotive shown at the end for,did the mohawk get construced into that locomotive?

I do hope you eventually do make sequel series for 8364. Given the limited material in the series, it's actually quite moving and inspiring. A nice piece of work I'd like to see more of.

YOU DERSVE IT X-18 YOU DERSVE IT

5:28 THE ~~

brave mohawk :'[

Will you make a film about the diesel at the end? I REALLY wanna know what it does.

i cried,are u going to make another series ?

BUT SO EPIC!!!

I like using this series as a reference for a similar series that I plan on making. The thing has been made albeit in just two parts

Where did u find the missing kuid for the f3a units shown at the end???? I looked everywhere!!!

Dude......WHAT A TWIST

@Barricade360 They're 3D models super-imposed onto the video clip with an external program.

Hurrah hurrah it's complete now I need to watch the rest of the video xD!

there did you get the rod clattering sound for the mohawk?

The finale, could there be a spinoff on a what if 3124 made it to Oregon?

the friendly switchers are back :D

I'm not going to lie I've always felt the diesel at the end was a Reincarnation of the steam locomotive because in a way it would make sense

Now the 2-8-8-2 will eliminate all it's enemies! He's back!

I've never seen something so beautiful as this before. This literally made me cry....well done, mate. Well done. If you don't mind, would you allow me to make an alternate ending in Trainz 12 where #3124 survived and made it to his destination? I don't intend it to be canon.

And also, was the freight train they crashed into working with the diesels? Or was it just a ordinary train?

This brought a tear to my eye. Deieselazation was a terrible thing.

Any update on the sequel?

No, but 814, 833, and 838 do sit on display IRL.

i already have a gun loco ready you should try out for a part oh and i might need your expertise in explosions. bandit can shoot his gun at enemies.

the CNW F unit at 13:03 is at Cheyenne where Union Pacific FEF-3 844 is with, Up FEF-3 #838 (used for parts to the 844) TTT63 2-10-2 #5511 and the union pacific 900082.

So is the new main character going to be a diesel

Nostalgia

it would have been nice if 3124 had of made it

If anybody knows where he got the breaks Sound Effect Please tell me Edit: I found it lol

3124: GAS GAS GAS
