New England Railfanner
New England Railfanner is a railfanning channel based in Vermont. The states I primarily film in are Vermont, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts. Over the years, I have filmed mostly Amtrak, MBTA, & New England Central freight trains. On my newer videos (since December 2023), I have been using a speed radar to clock how fast most trains I have seen go. I have liked trains since 2013 and have been filming them since 2015. I decided to create a YouTube channel on August 9, 2024 to post my videos that I have filmed.

Hey guys, I had an idea for a new video series, this will be about particular locomotives, railcars, or cab cars, that I've seen that stick out to me personally in some way. The first episode I'm posting will be about MBTA CTC-1B #1637. I narrate these videos sharing my knowledge and facts. I hope you enjoy them!

Hey guys. To celebrate 50 years of the F40PH legacy on April 9th (the day they began revenue service on Amtrak), I was thinking of recording myself operating a realistic 1980s/90s consist between Boston & New Haven on Train Simulator Classic.

Hey guys. Yesterday (March 13, 2026), I went to Boston north station for some railfanning and I had an AMAZING 4 hour long session. I saw two MassDot Units (#1136 & #1137), Geometry-Passenger hybrid BTC-3 #534, GP40MC #1130, CTC-1B #1637 (stored) and many more. Here are some photos from that day:

On February 18, 2026, we lost a beloved railfan from White River Junction Vermont. Chris McKinley (68) collapsed while on his way to WRJ on Thursday morning. He assisted passengers at White River Junction station for more than 30 years of his life. Your service and kindness will be greatly missed, especially among the family that loves you and the railfans whom you made their day better.
You will be missed sir, fly high in heaven.

I saw something CRAZY at White River Junction Vermont today (January 2, 2026). There was a hopper car that had it's front-trucks come off the rails on a switch track. The train consist was two hopper cars, GP40-2 #437, and GP40-2LW #3039. The car in-question that derailed was CLSX 5452 which derailed on a switch. The rail next to it popped out of its ties causing it to raise a few inches off the ground. Here is a photo:

Hey gng, I just got back from an AMAZING trip to Woburn/Anderson RTC. Even though 1637 was not operating, I still had a great time (despite it being cold and windy).
