This was our 47th Honeymoon weekend for us and this was the train action we saw on Saturday April 1st. No fooling! Rain, wind and miles of Hwy 41 to Chattanooga. We visited DeButts NS yard by days end. The last train was on Sunday when I was trying to fly the drone in restricted air space. Bummer! Never had a restricted air space issue. It's all good and got a story to tell, what else could you want from a weekend and a honeymoon. Thanks for watching. Ben

This was the first video of 2023 and the intro is your truly on the guitar and the song is my own. The morning going over to Callahan from Valdosta was foggy. So much fog that sometimes 200 feet was all you could see. The Crawford Interlock is a cool place to video. Just want to say remember to respect property and only leave tire tracks when out there looking for trains. Nice to see Canadian Pacific, BNSF and Union Pacific engines on this run. Thanks for watching. Ben

It was a slow day for trains but still enjoyed the day out together. After 47 years married, we still like going places together. We did get to chase a south bounder and even though trains were hiding from us we did find a North bound freight headed to Folkston Ga. Don't forget to like, subscribe and share the videos. Thanks for watching.

Headed to a favorite seafood restaurant we heard and engineer on the scanner. We pulled into Boston, Ga and saw the train on the siding. The conductor was walking to set the switch and struck up a conversation with him. Be the first non CSX person to count the cars and give me the correct number and we will send you a Trains by Ben cap. Send your answer to our email TrainsbyBen@gmail,com Thanks for watching.

After leaving the Southeastern Railway Museum in Duluth, Ga. we came down to Macon, Ga to look around for tracks and video locations. It was after 6:00 pm when we caught the first train headed northbound. We drove around and found a few spots that we returned on Sunday morning. We will be back on a future date to get to the other spots we found. Thanks for watching and hope you continue to come back for more.

We visited the museum and it was quite interesting. Lots to see and you could spend most of the day there. I highly recommend a visit to the Southeastern Railway Museum. Check out the video and thanks for watching. Ben

Found this work train headed to Waycross from Thomasville Ga We made several stops along the way as we got ahead of the train. Followed it all the way to Ruskin Ga just on the westrn edge of Rice Yard in Waycross Ga

Just a series of NS trains that we saw during an outing in South Georgia. We did see a Kansas City Southern locomotive and a Blue face NS with a tan grey body. Never seen that scheme before. A good day that ended with a passing train against the setting sun colors of the sky. Thanks for watching.

We found the rail fan viewing platform in downtown Locust Grove, GA and had a trackside view of the action. We recommend a visit to this location if you want to see trains at track speed. Thanks for watching.

We saw train cars on a CSX mainline with no engine on either end. We drove back streets trying to figure out why the train cars were on the main line and not a siding. We found a switch engine crew pushing covered hopper cars into ADM's holding yard. We heard the dispatch give to permission to go to a siding at Naylor and the chase begun.

Went to the interlock in Crawford, FL where NS crosses the double CSX tracks from Jacksonville, Fl to Folkston, GA. Found a train that had an End of Train computer issue. Was able to get some drone footage after they got underway. Thanks for watching.

We visited the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum while in Chattanooga, TN. It was our 47th wedding anniversary and the city we spent our Honeymoon. The museum has lots of exhibits, artifacts, railcars, locomotives to see up close. We also road the Steam locomotive train through Missionary Ridge Tunnel to a repair facility where they refurbish old rail cars and have a working turntable to spin the locomotive in the direction back to the museum. Well worth the trip and visit. Thanks for watching.

Found a CSX yard crew on Savannah Ave and saw a NS headed north bound at the interlock. Decided to give chase and caught the train in Hahira, Ga. Also saw another NS behind 65Q and chased NS 152 from Adel, Ga up to Arabi, Ga. We had to back track our stops after discovering my glasses were missing. We ended up in Cordele and the day was a good day for trains. Thanks for watching.
