HD Railfanning In Our Nation's Capitol
About Me:
 
Hello fellow youtubers, my name is Morrison and I am a train and railroad enthusiast who works as a professional sound engineer (person who works with sound recording in music studios). I have an erratic work schedule that takes me up and down the I-95 corridor between DC and NYC, and because of that I sometimes find myself having some time during the week that I use to go railfanning (film trains).

About This Channel:
I created this page for myself and other train and railroad enthusiasts (otherwise known as railfans).

My history with trains:
I was a train enthusiast or "railfan" ever since the age of 5. That's when I saw my first fright which was a CSX local with two Chessie GP40 locomotives on the point rolling down the middle of East Street in Frederick MD. The line is gone now, replaced by the MTA MARC branch that runs into town from the CSX Old Main. However, ever since I saw that train, I was hooked, and my railfanning days began.

I am glad to live in the DC area and the region is one of the best places (outside of Chicago and LA) to film and photograph trains. The region is steeped in railroading history and because of that there is a good variety of trains and lines here for any train enthusiast to enjoy, including some of the oldest in the nation (The old B&O Washington Branch now referred to as the CSXT Capitol and Metropolitan Subdivisions).

Railroads In the DC area-
(Railroads I get to railfan) :
CSX Transportation
Norfolk Southern
MARC
Virginia Railway Express
Amtrak
Amtrak (NEC)
And yes, since I live in DC (when I get lazy), the Metro too. Why not? We have thee best subway system in the world (minus the few kinks that have occurred in the last decade of corse).

Important Notices:

{A NOTE TO POLICE OFFICERS AND OTHER NON-TRAIN ENTHUSIASTS)
A train enthusiast is someone who takes pictures and video of trains (hence the word railfan). IT IS A HOBBY JUST LIKE ANY OTHER HOBBY! It is an enjoyable and often rewarding pastime often shared by one or more people on their days off who just want to head out to the tracks for an hour or so of train watching. RAILFANS ARE NEITHER FOAMERS NOR TERRORISTS!!!!!!

I felt that I needed to explain that because of the stories I've heard by other railfans and my own personal experiences dealing with haters and people who STILL don't know what railfanning or "train watching" is.

Other Notices:
The locations in which i film are all public property. I do not trespass on private property nor on privately owned equipment unless permission has been granted for me to do so. Nor do I encourage such behavior.

I never say nothing bad about railfanners. I just say that I'll never do it. Trains are nice and cool but I have other things going on. I'm too busy for hobbies.

Good God, how did you do that? Why? How was it accomplished? I had to save it to my droid. Then I enlarged It. After that I went digging on google. I found nothing so I guess you're okay....for now. On a much more serious note, though, I think you should change it back to what you had at first..Railfanning and modeling don't mix.... And that's why I could never railfan with you or Kevin or anyone else.... But I do like watching the videos. They're very therapeutic :D
