I dunno, I just am fascinated by trains and have been ever since I was able to walk, maybe sooner.

By the way you're welcome. Thank you for your comments and if anyone has requests for someplace or railroad and can't find it, I'll try my best to locate it.

Oh Yes. I did hear the Snow Trains (ride) are supposed to be spectacular.

My second cousin and her husband just moved to central Michigan and they got a place near a big train track and they love it.

It inspired my cousin and her brother (both my cousins) to come out and visit last Spring.

They took the train and ended up in Winslow AZ. and then rented a car too.

They love the train tracks and living near the trains. <3<3<3<3<3<3❤️‍🔥

Her husband got all inspired and was taking photos or putting pennies on the tracks or something.

I would be out there too though. 🚃🚋🚃🚃🚃🔥

Here a drone's eye view of the East Chicago/ Gary Indiana Steel mills operations.

I remember when this entire area was filled with bustling industrial activity. Of course the air would literally make your eyes water with pollution. :cry:

This video shows switchers moving coke, iron ore and even molten steel around the vast industrial district.

An interesting fact about this video is that some of the locomotives are run by remote control.

Today we're looking at some short line copper and nickel ore trains in U P Michigan on the LS&I RR. This railroad has a lot of GE engines on it's roster, including the two last operating U30-B's in the US.
As a bonus we also see some ore ships in operation as the loads find their way down to the mills in Chicago and Gary.

 

Feather River Canyon & Mt. Shasta Country​



Join us as we take this unique train trip on a seldom-traveled route through remote Northern California and Oregon aboard a collection of historic railcars. Our three-day excursion starts in Sacramento and goes through the Feather River Canyon, onto the BNSF Inside Gateway, past Klamath Falls to Chemult (south of Bend), and down around Mt. Shasta.

Can I just post this one here Mr @Cheshire_Kat

I don't ride on the North American trains but I really had so much fun riding

on the Rome Express Train and then I got to learn about the history of Rome

and actually walk around in its ancient antiquity of history.

So please Ches can I do just this one because . . . .

I still am learning about the NortAmerican trains as much as I can !!

So I think that the Rome Express is the only train that I have ever rode

on or can remember, at least !!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


I rode on the Rome Express before. Well a few times.

You leave Sicily to get to Rome on the Rome Express Train.

You will leave in the night time. Sleep on the train the whole time.

And wake up bright and early on the main land and ready to tour

Rome until the train leave again and then you once again sleep

on the train and wake up back 'home.' Or where you started at least.

BUT when you get to the Straits of Messina the water the Sea separates

Sicily from the Mainland. (Italy)

SO the train is taken apart box car by box and

floated across on the ferry barge. All while everyone is fast asleep.

And if you aren't knocked out cold or fast asleep It is sooo noisy. I heard

every clank and creek and I even went out on the barge to see. It was just

really dark and nothing to see but the dark color of the sea and it moves

real slow.

It was nice and cool fresh air out on the barge. It was the middle of the

night and awesomeness.

The whole trip seemed to be about 12 hours one way. But it was

beyond amazing. And cheap. Loool. I loved it.






 
Oh yeah. And the monorail at Disney World was about all I could handle . . . . in North America. :)
