Brandino’s Trains & Things
he/him/his

I am a 20 year old that just mostly films trains on CSX’s Metropolitan sub in Brunswick, Md Norfolk Southern’s Washington District in Manassas, VA, with occasional visits to CSX’s Cumberland Sub in Harpers Ferry, WV, and Cumberland, MD and the RF&P sub in Ashland, VA and at Long Bridge Park in Arlington, VA. With occasional visits to Norfolk Southern’s Hagerstown District in Berryville, VA along with visits to places outside of the regular ones depending on trips I go on.

I am also a big fan of StarWars, Marvel, Murder Drones and TDAC, so you might find the occasional video or short for those.

Name of my channel came from a nickname that my youth pastor gave me.

Two different years, two different trains, same locomotive.
Here is CSXT #4717 leading M406-04 back in April 5th 2025.
Now here she is again leading M277-18 today one day before my birthday.

And what B looks like, and what V is wearing for Christmas.

So it looks like my Spring video will be delayed indefinitely until I can solve an issue I’m having with saving one of my videos onto my device. In light of that I will be putting out two videos from last year in Brunswick, MD including two storage moves, heritage units, and some foreign power.

Unfortunately I have to completely redo my Spring 2026 video. But don’t worry I’m still gonna get it uploaded because it’s too hot to go railfanning rn.

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY TO ALL MY FELLOW AMERICANS!!!! 🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅
250 YEARS OF AMERICA!!!

On this day in 1776, we declared ourselves independent from Britain and gave them a really big fat L


One thing to also note, July 4th is also the day that one of the bloodiest battles of the American Civil War ended, the Battle Of Gettysburg, PA. With fighting taking place July 1st to 3rd, with Lee’s army pulling out July 4th, marking the end of the battle. It is considered the bloodiest battle of the Civil War with around 50,000 Americans dying (yes Americans, not Union or Confederate troops, both sides were American, so I see them as Americans)
Remember that this day marks freedom, but also remember that freedom is never free.

Around 25,000 Americans died for our freedom, many more have died to keep it, remember them, remember the cost of freedom.

When I wake up in the morning, the first thing I want to hear is a EMD 645 prime mover in Notch-8 and I want to be able to smell the diesel exhaust coming out of the engine because that’s what gets me going in the morning.

Spring video is nearly done and a throwback video is in the works. (Might be a surprise one too)

I’m going to start uploading more long form content aside from my seasonal railfan videos. These will include throwback videos from previous trips from previous years that include heritage units, storage moves, and other goodies.
I may also start doing MD edits again and some other random stuff.
