Hello, and welcome to my channel! Here you can find railroad related videos from the northeast, mainly in Upstate New York. You can find various films of trains on rail lines such as both Canadian Pacific & Norfolk Southern's D&H as well as action along the CSX Mohawk & Selkirk Subdivisions. I hope you enjoy my work as much as I enjoy creating it!
