HOTRAIL PRODUCTIONS
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.

In a blurry leftover scene from my archives, Amtrak's northbound Lake Country Limited passes the Metra station at Grayslake, Illinois. Power on this occasion was a Genesis diesel and the usual Horizon coach and baggage car. Afterward, my brother traps a mouse between the rails.

Water Street Power Parade: CSX ET44AH, ES44AC & GP30 Action Water Street
Long Auto Train At Water Street!☛▶️

As early evening settles over Wellsboro, Indiana, an eastbound CSX intermodal stack train throttles up from a stop and storms across Water Street on the west side of town. The ground trembles as the train digs in and accelerates toward the mainline. Moments later, the train glides past the interchange yard, where a unique road slug set steals the spotlight. The slug—rebuilt from a former GP30—is paired with a GP40 “Mother” unit, a fascinating example of horsepower redistribution and classic yard switching technology. This distinctive setup even helped inspire the artwork for my business card ads. Leading the charge on the mainline is modern Tier 4 power, with a GE ET44AH working alongside a GE ES44AC GEVO, delivering impressive horsepower and efficiency as the stack train charges eastward through northern Indiana rail territory. Filmed on June 20, 2017.

Power is an SD40-2, a C39-8, and an SD40-2 with a high nose. Note the block of "shorty" tank cars and piece of track in the gondola. At one time, the NYC had a branch line that passed through here, and the ROW is visible crossing the NS. A segment of the line remains to the north to serve a quarry at Spore. A new connecting track off the Fort Wayne Line provides access. =========================================================================== 🛩️Drones! https://geni.us/multipledrones
