Step onto the captivating world of Hotrail Productions, where the magic of lights, camera, and trains combines to create an unforgettable experience. I travel all over the country photographing railroad history in the making. My footage dates back to 1995. Whether it's a thrilling action sequence or a heartwarming romantic scene, the railway has long been a favorite setting for filmmakers and TV producers.
At Cortland, Illinois, a long westbound UP intermodal train crosses over from the south track to the north track, passing the waning C&NW searchlight signals. Power is a pair of SD70ACES's and a pair of GEVOS, with one ACE in the middle. This was my final video of these searchlights before their retirement. Does anyone know when the final cutover was made?

Framed by the solid brick Deshler Interlocking Tower, a westbound CSX intermodal stack train clatters across the famous Toledo Subdivision diamonds at the railfan hotspot Deshler, Ohio.
Leading the charge is a Tier 4 GEVO, while the rear of the train features a pair of DPUs providing extra muscle — an AC4400CW and an ES44AC shoving from the back. The sound of steel wheels pounding the diamonds echoes across town as the train continues west on the former B&O mainline.
The sturdy Deshler tower visible in this scene has been out of service since 1989, but it still stands watch over the busy junction. Historically, a depot once occupied the northwest quadrant of the crossing, though it was sadly razed just weeks before this video was filmed, marking the end of another small piece of Deshler’s railroad history.
Today, Deshler remains one of the best railfan locations in the Midwest, offering constant action from CSX trains moving in every direction across the diamond.
