CAB RIDE ON A FREIGHT TRAIN - Kids absolutely love this video

I’m a 64 year old kid & I love watching this video. Was a freight conductor for the FEC railroad for a few years. Now retired I can be on the train and have a cocktail sitting on my couch with my dog. Always exhausted when on the railroad. Now I appreciate it.

Retired grandma here. Big train fan, loved this video. Beautiful landscape, and interesting commentary. I used to operate light rail before retiring, and was in awe of my 200 foot consists (usually 2 95foot cars). However, your mile+ long freight trains are much more awe inspiring than my piddly little trains. ;-) Thank you again for a great video! 😊

I have been an engineer for more than 31 years. all who have seen this video have really enjoyed it.

When I was a kid my dream job was to become a train engineer on the Burlington Northern. I amassed dozens of train books and hundreds of magazines to learn everything there was to learn about trains and locomotives. All sorts of twists and turns happened in life and now I'm a veteran and retired intelligence officer, jaded with extra salt. Seeing this video was like living a happy childhood dream again. Thank you!

I'm a retired aircraft mechanic who has always had a passion for trains. This is a fantastic video!! This 63 year old kid loved it!!

Dear Mark I'm almost 73 years old and I learn more from your video today than I ever knew thank you so much. God bless and stay safe. 🖖🏼🤟🏼

This big 59 year old kid loved it

At 87, Im not a kid but as an old B&O machinist, I did enjoy the ride. Thanks.!!

Mr. Mark, I am Calvin, a 62y/o male, who lives in Atlanta, Georgia. I haven't been to Minnesota or Wisconsin, this was a very informative train ride( informative about signs, train's operation, destination, towns along the way and sites, how to cross the great Mississippi River. Thanks for this ride. God Bless 🙌 🙏.

I have been working on the railroad in Ukraine for 14 years. Thank for the video! That was really exciting trip👍

This 57-year-old "kid" also LOVES this video! 🙂 This was magnificent, and I not only enjoyed the scenery, but I really enjoyed how you explained what some of the sign markers meant. I learned a lot, and it was very entertaining. Thank you!!

For 60 years, I've wondered what it would be like to ride in a locomotive. This is a great video! Thank you!

Thank you for inviting us along for a ride…..❤

With only a skeletal long-distance, passenger train network in the U.S., engineers and crews on freight trains get a treat to see this side of America. I always called it, "the backroads of America." Any of the cab ride vids you watch is pretty incredible. Some trains travel through bleak scenery, especially old clips from the mid/late 70s, with the industry struggling and some urban areas in decline, but others are a model railroader's bucolic dream. Great scenery here, good narration, and I could see why kids would like it.

I’m an airline pilot, but my first love was trains. Very enjoyable video. Thanks for making!

One would think this might have been boring. NO WAY! Excellent presentation, video and especially narrative! Great job & extremely interesting!

I Remember meeting this guy as a kid at a train show in Shakopee, Mn and I remember my Mom buying this for me on VHS I watched it so much that the tape gave up the ghost... I have looking everywhere for this to no luck... Im glad that this showed up in my For You feed Its nice to remember old memories from growing up

Very informative! I'm a long time railfan and advocate, and thoroughly appreciate these videos. I'm also a retired 43 year OTR trucker and I have a real problem with "noise ordinances" which are enforced at the expense of safety. Truckers have the same type situation with engine brakes. We can be going down a curvy road with a 12% grade heavily loaded into a city or village which doesn't allow the use of engine brakes. I guess it's all about safety until it annoys someone and then it's an an egregious malfeasance!

That was very enjoyable!! When it comes to trains...I'm a kid at heart! I have been a rail-fan since I was 5 in 1960. Enjoyed seeing LaCrosse, WI and the Dells again! 🚂🛤

As a railroad fan not only have I enjoyed the video but I found it educational as well.
