1960gambit
США
Добавлен 15 июл 2009
Hi! Welcome to my channel! I have been a railroad enthusiast since my childhood and am still very interested in trains to this day, some 5 plus decades later. I will be posting rail videos from around the country and from my home area in Southern Ohio.
I primarily railfan by myself, but at least a few times a year I get out with my old friend Jaw Tooth, and then there is no telling where we will end up on those trips!
You may also see an occasional video that is not rail related. I like to film video from inside airplanes when we take off and land when I travel for work.
Where did "1960gambit" come from? Well, that was a name I picked out years ago. It`s a combination of an old house number and my all time favorite Marvel X-Man, the Cajun card thrower Gambit.
So, I hope you enjoy the stuff I put up here. Please Like, Comment and Subscribe to help me make this channel grow and share the videos everywhere! I sure do appreciate all the support!

I sure hope we see this in 2 months! A look back and fingers crossed!
Here`s a look back to April of 2024. I had a bunch of stuff to do on Monday and couldn`t get out to the tracks. So, I figured I would take a look back at less than a year ago when Spring was in the air and lots of trains were on the tracks!
Thanks for watching!

The day started in one spot and finished up in another!

Typical slow Sunday. I started in Hamilton and it was promising with me getting 2 trains in about 25 minutes, then nothing for more than 2 hours. I decided at that point it was time to head South to Glendale. Once I got there I met up with @AdventureswithJoeyBoats and @GlendaleRailfanFrenchToast419 where we waited for about 90 minutes for something to happen. We got 2 clear signals almost at th...

Okay, this is the final video from the trip to Kenova last week. @JawTooth and I stopped in Ashland, Kentucky on the way home to see if we could catch a couple of night trains. We ended up getting 3! We were there with @walterlangston4484 and @GandAdventures Be sure to check their channels and subscribe if you want to see a lot of West Virginia mountain railroading! So, we ended up catching the...

I spent Friday in Hamilton, Ohio on a beautiful, sunny day. It was a little on the chilly side, but the Sun made it all better. @AdventureswithJoeyBoats showed up around an hour after I got there, and we just hung out and waited for something to happen. It was a slow morning, but I still managed to get 5 trains altogether, including the local with the caboose! We heard that they were working on...
The snow finally melted, so I could park my car near the tracks!

I made my first trip to the "Land between the lines" in Wao, Ky on Thursday. I haven't been here lately because with all the snow we had I couldn`t get off the road to park. Well, those days are over since the warm weather melted the ice and snow. I got 4 trains here and 2 at the Gaines House. The last 2 happened at the same time and I was down by the CSX tracks when NS showed up, so I had to d...

I don't know what it is but it looks kewl
Another awesome blast from the past Scott I really like when you show videos that you have already filmed over again but anyway, my friend as always you stay safe out there and watch your back and we’ll see you on the next one
We have plenty of sun without a cloud in the sky but it's -9°F here in Rhinelander with a foot of snow on the ground. Been known to have below zero weather up here into May but those years we have no Spring, all of a sudden it's just Summer. Gotta love that that fast paced Glendale action, enjoyed it a lot. Thanks Scott!
Me too, been interesting and good year 2024! Not as 2023 tho. NS struggled with power and used a lot of foreign power and leased WFRX units. 28C IM to Chicago was long and lots containers...... Better weather last year (February-April)😊
Good morning buddy, you don’t see too many black grain cars. Have a good day my friend.God bless 🙏🏼🇺🇸
Wow another action packed video. The variety of cars amazing. Some look brand new other look abit travel weary. Many thanks.
Wow still at my favourite place. Amazing the coal locomotives pulling all those cars. Many thanks. Uk weather 4c rain. Been like this third day in a row. Never been daylight and so depressing.
when's Easter this year that's when it normally starts warming up Scott!!
Awesome video Nice catches and signal drop. Think spring
Can’t beat sunshine and green! It was that iHop car that had one less axle on the count! Lol Oh the sun gonna shine again and bring warmth, says I from a -24° F outside temperature here.
Thank you. Lovely seeing the spring sunshine. We seem to be stuck in a weather system in my part of UK of dull and cold so great to see these wonderful videos. I do like Conrail locomotive
Great video Scott. I wish the weather in central New York was that nice. Can't wait for spring, so sick of the snow.
Moving right along!
Hoofin'!
That's really cool 😎! Thanks. 🙂🙂❤️❤️
I love fast trains, Scott. Thank you very much! 😃😃😃❤❤❤
Keep the scrap rolling. Demand is growing at least in my neck of the woods. ❤😊
Hi Scott great timing in Hamilton for IR141 that was a very very long Intermodel nice seeing a dpu in the middle It was slow in Glendale when the superbowl was on last night Scott it was like the trains stopped to watch it. My son Nathan came home yesterday Scott so i was happy about that except he came home with the flu but clear of covid. Hes waiting for surgery now. Its nice switching between Hamilton & Glendale fab trains you got. Have a nice evening Scott. ❤😊🥰👍
Good job Scott. Sorry it was a slow day but you got some nice trains. Thank you.
Super catches Scott!..another fantastic video in the books! Have a great week!! 🚂🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃💯👍🇺🇸
At 2:50, the pyramid symbolizes the Great Divinity, and the all seeing eye. (Look on the back of a dollar bill) The Catholic Church used that symbol until the Masonic Lodge did, then the church abandoned it. I’m not sure if the artist realized that or just used that symbol as to try to “scare” or didn’t know what else to spray paint. I know this is too much and who cares?, but I try to get to the bottom of reasoning. Carry on….😂😂😂
Super long intermodal in Hamilton. A horn salute and a long mixed manifest in Glendale! NS mixed manifest for last train. Lots of tank cars. Thanks Scott. I enjoyed this one. Take care ❤
You`re very welcome, Margie! Have a wonderful day!
Another awesome video, Scott and man you need to go back to Walton down by Locust Street because to me that is the best spot to be because you can stand in the middle of both tracks and not have to run up down the hill like you do up at the Gains house but anyway, my friend you stay safe out there and watch your back and we’ll see you on the next one
Thanks Timmy! I`m actually thinking od going there tomorrow. They ae predicting snow South of the river, so I may try to get down there and see if I can get something in it. We shall see! Lol
We've got the cold up here in northern Wisconsin. Supposed to have below zero lows for the next week with off and on snow. Great twin spot action, enjoyed it much. Thanks Scott!
We have a Winter weather advisory staring around 2 AM Tuesday and running into Wednesday afternoon if I heard it right. Supposed to be snow South of the river so I may try Walton tomorrow and see if I can get something in it. Try to stay warm up there, Pat!
@1960gambit Thanks man, appreciate it!
I'm sorry that they decided to get rid of the cabooses.
Good morning my friend I hope you’re day is off to a good start,and I hope you’re feeling better. Awesome video this morning, if you’re going out this week be safe and God bless
Thanks Bill! This week may be a challenge. We have a Winter weather advisory starting overnight and into Wednesday for snow and ice. Hopefully I`ll be able to get out there and get something! Have a great day!
Enjoyed the video. Stsy warm.
Thanks Rick! We got a winter weather advisory here for tomorrow, so I will have to stay warm for sure! Lol Have a great day!
👍👍! Have a great week, Gambit.
You too, Joker! Have a great week!
Appreciate all the videos You get And travel, To get different locations...
Thanks Jeff! I try to get to as many places as I can, but Winter makes it tougher with the shorter daylight hours, so I have to stay closer to home. That will be changing soon! Thanks for watching!
Wow! Excellent catching all the trains, I like them, they're awesome, @1960gambit, Scott, thank you very much and have a nice day and night.
Thanks Ivan! Hope you and your mom are doing well!
That's why I think you should come there on Mondays change my trackside days to Saturdays and Mondays@@1960gambit
Sounded and looked like a kazoo😂 pulling clown trailers🤡Sorry… call ‘em like I see ‘em
Lol!
Nice salute! I'll go along with the kazoo!
Good made video, mr 1960gambit. On both places not busy but for me busy enough. See on CSX train in Hamilton a tank railcar with 4 compartments, that see whe not here in Europa. Thx for this topvideo 🚆🚆👍👍💪💪👌🚆🚆 in Hamilton and Glendale Ohio. Nice monday. Greet from Zandvoort the Netherlands.
Thanks Roelof! Yes, we have multi compartment tank cars here. I see one every now and then as they are not real common. Hope you are having a good day!
Great catch 1960. Those 2 old girls have been all over by the looks.
Thanks Blue! Yep, they got some years and miles on the for sure!
Nice sharing ❤❤❤
Thanks! I am glad you enjoyed it!
I miss seeing cabooses
Me too!
Thank you. Great selection of mixed freights plus one massive container train. One wonders where they all go. Are they the same ones we see in UK? Great selection of trains. Thanks.
Thanks Alex! Yes, I am sure the containers are the same as you see over there. They are pretty standard worldwide. I know that those big container ships can take as many as 7,000 on a single boat! That is just amazing to me! Have a great day!
@1960gambit thank you. Wow. That's incredible
Excellent trains and decently long. Very satisfactory! 130 cars on CSX 7248 mixed freight 😮no DPU! Love it because reminds me here in Europe 1engine on train 😅. 😀👍👍👌👌👌
Thanks Inferno! I did not realize that they only used one locomotive per train in Europe. I guess since they don`t run the super long trains like we do here, that is all they need! Have a great day my friend!
@1960gambit well most is electrified and 100%electric locomotives haul trains. Swiss often use 2 because of very high grades and others in Europe have exceptions + Austria 🇦🇹 and Switzerland 🇨🇭 have 2 lead and rear manned helper on heavy and high grade trains. No grade 4000t (1ton=1000kg or 1 US ton is 0.9t ; our couplers are far from US ; trains half a mile max long;because of stations and mix of freight and passenger trains..... You have great trend here in Europe. Cab ride: Switzerland is the best scenery 👌 Railway Emotions or Lori rocks 777 if don't know what to watch on TV play one/choose and enjoy. Try for 5-10 minutes and decide if you enjoy it and A LOT people do. Gives perfect insight and joy to see engineering marvels. Make it on your bucket list and try ✨️ 😉 👌 😎
@ Thanks! I`ll have to check it out!
Wow Scott that intermodal either it emptied the yard or emptied the port😅
I agree Carlos! That thing was huge! Have a great day!
Wow so many one engine wonders ! Quiet pullers
I was surprised at that myself. I have heard there is some new technology coming that will allow a single locomotive to pull more because of some Artificial Intelligence program that changes how the traction motors operate and gives them more low speed torque. As an old controls electrician, I would like to see how that operated because I just have a hard time believing it! Lol Have a great day, Kim!
New computer tower. took almost a week to get back up and running...we also had a Thunderstorm, with pea sized hail...and then freezing rain
I hate it when I get a new computer. It`s a pain getting it setup the way you want it. I hear we got some snow coming on Tuesday. I`ll be glad when this is all over with!
Awesome first train wow it was flyin by i didht see tye heritage unit first time around so played it back 2nd loco from 5! 2nd time seen the P&L as well, awesome catches Scott from the darkness of Ashland KY. 😊👍❤
Thanks Carol! Yes, I missed it too when I was filming it! Lol
Both of those locomotives look like me; old and tired!
Me too!
They both could use some attention! If they could talk, they'd have great stories to tell!
😃😃❤️❤️
@@1960gambit 😃😃❤️❤️
That was a good video and location. Well done
Thanks Greg! I was getting out of the rain on that last one! Lol
Love your slide show along with the music!
Thanks Dan!
Nice video, Scott! Would love to make the trip down to Hamilton sometime. It sure looks different without the old 4-story paper mill building that burnt down last year! 🤔😮🤠🚂🚂🚂
I hear you! I miss that old building in the background when the trains roll by. You should come down to Hamilton sometime and hang out. Bring Zach too!
Hauling butt.
I haven't seen him pop out up here lately lol...
I don`t see him as much as I used to since the Connersville Local doesn`t come to Cincinnati anymore.
@1960gambit There was some strange voodoo going on up here with NS tonight...Every Train of theirs I saw,would stop on the Curve before West Fairgrounds Street way up north from the depot,sit there for like twenty minutes with headlights dimmed,then blast the horn and proceed South through town and past the Depot very slowly...All Three NS trains I saw did this...Must have been the designated official Super Bowl watching spot for the crews or something 🤣🤣
@1960gambit oh, that's it!!!!!!! Yeah I forgot about it. Connersville local is missing. Personally haven't seen SD40s of CSX anywhere. Except if counting the rail train at Glendale (I think 🤔) with one leading ET23DCR? I have to check out the designation and is it EMD with 6 cylinder engine 🤔 GEVO, and is V12 4400HP so half the power 2300hp hence ET23DC and huge radiator. Triple sd40s on Conn. Local mostly. I have to rewatch some older vids or look up for CSX SD40-2/3. What is with CSX Dash-8W units 🤔.? They left some in traffic after they first get rid of c40-8 & ex Conrail-8Ws and finally most of their own. But not all. Maybe on locals like sd40s at certain places 🤔 ? You probably know the answer 😏 thx Scott 😊 🙏
Always like the night shots, even though you lose a bit. Add some good locomotives and you get a great video. Thank you Scott. Safe trip home.
Thanks Lou! Yes, I really like the night shots. I am going to get a different camera just for the night stuff here real soon so that the resolution is better. Hopefully within a month I will have it!
Love those night trains. No heritage unit on the first one but awesome power set none-the-less. Keep the electric car fuel flowing. Excellent video, enjoyed it a lot. Thanks Scott!
Thanks Pat! Actually the second locomotive was the Pan Am. It went by so fast I didn`t see it till I watched the video afterwards. It looks very similar to the CSX units. I was looking for the "Globe" emblem like they put on their box cars and since I didn`t see it, I figured it wasn`t there! Lol
Ain’t they cool menacing looking beasts!
They sure are!
