Welcome to my channel! I film and document trains across Pennsylvania, combining real time catches with maps, explanations, and data to help viewers understand how the railroad operates. Every video is researched using sources I trust, with full credit given in the description of each. I do NOT know everything! The sharing of information is how one learns.
What you can expect:
3 to 4 days notice in a community post before a new video release. (Wednesday afternoons)
1 to 3 total long form videos on weekend nights. (Friday through Sunday, 1 per night)
9 total shorts on weekend nights. (Friday through Sunday, 3 per night)
1 community engagement post (Friday nights)
I hope to create an informative, neutral, and welcoming environment for railfans of all ages. Thanks for reading!
