ATTENTION ALL TEEN RAILFANS, PLEASE CONTRIBUTE TO THIS FORUM!!!!!!

My name is Chris, I am14 and I like railroad photography and model railroading. My favorite railroads are the Union Pacific, Montana Rail Link, and what is left of the Burlington Northern.

What have you got to say???

I couldn't help but notice that all of the other forums had coffe shops, so I figured I would start a teen railfan/model railroader coffe shop right here!!!

So come in, sit down, and talk trains with us!!!

If you read what did I miss? I heard a train horn for 5-8 minutes and saw nothing.

Hi I am Kevin age 13 and I live in Evans,GA. I like any kind of railroad and mostly SD70's are my favorites.

here are some stories I once saw CSX 237 in Hamlet,NC hours before it wrecked in Charlotte,NC and I was chasing the CSX 700(spirt of Cumberland) and it got to this one crossing and then engineer said ''HE GOT HIT HE GOT HIT'' if found out to be that someone threw a rock and hit the conductor in the head.[V]

10 trains in one hour??? Sounds like you were in Elmhurst Illinois, there the UP runs triple track through downtown, and there is atrain every 10 minutes- talk about instant gratification![:D]

Thank you all for contributing- again[bow]

My dad and I are both very avid railfans. On a recent trip to Montana , we came across three brand new GEVOS, all painted in the brand new BNSF scheme, so we chased them for about two hours. The funny part is that we were driving our Jeep, and we were pulling a twenty-foot camper. I got great shots and it turned out to be one of our best- and oddest chases. Heck, the crew even coaught on to what we were doing, and took notice, they probably thought we were nuts... And maybe we are![;)]

Happy railfanning to all!

Chris

I can't believe there are so many MRL fans out there- I thought I was the only one. Have any of you ever been out there???
I have, and it was incredible, like nothing I have ever seen!
And those F45s! The last in the country!
