Nice! I just saw the return trip schedule has been released, looks like it's set to bypass Wisconsin/Illinois this time and take the Marquette/River Subs from Davenport to St. Paul on the 26th of June. That day being a Wednesday, I'd have to take off from work to catch it. Might be worth doing, sinc...

As most of you probably know, to celebrate the CPKC merger, the preserved 1930-built H-1b class 4-6-4 Hudson Canadian Pacific Railway No. 2816 was restored and fired up for a grand tri-national tour. Anyone caught or made plans to catch this steam train at any particular crossings along the route? I...

Just completed another installment in the series with lots of footage I originally took for Mike's DVDs. Several crossings with gateless 8" and/or incandescent signals and mechanical bells that have since been replaced, as well as the B&B ARMR crash barrier gates at Whitney Way in Madison. https://w...

I'm going back and re-editing my old footage (rescaling 4:3 Hi8 and DV to 720 widescreen, horizon straightening, stabilizing the handheld shots as much as possible). Part of my introduction to railfanning was getting crossing videos for the DVDs that Mike H. used to sell through this site at the tim...

This is kinda neat although of course I wish he'd kept the film rolling even just a few seconds longer... One of my cousins has recently been digitizing the 8mm home movies taken by our grandfather from the 1950s into the '70s. Grandpa Bob wasn't a railfan but he did like to document random things h...

Re-upping this video now 10 years ago OTD. At 7:44 I got the camcorder rolling and the lens cap off just in time to catch the gate smacking the roof of a window cleaners' van at this crossing . This is now on my NEW railfanning YouTube channel so please give it a "like" and subscribe if you haven't ...

McIntosh St. in Wausau, WI. On the ex-Milwaukee Road Valley Sub, later Soo Line/Wisconsin Central LTD/CN/now Watco's Fox Valley & Lake Superior (FOXY) Railroad. One in a row of several crossings with simple gateless mast signal setups, all with 12"x 24" LEDs but with a surprisingly large proportion ...
