2022: A Year of Trains in Review

Happy New Year, everyone! It's the end of the year and so it is time for the annual "Year of Trains in Review" video were we take a look back at all the different trains and railroads I was able to capture on video over the last 12 months. It was a busy year with several new steam locomotives, brand new Amtrak ALC-42 Charger locomotives and Siemens built Venture cars entering service, ancient former Southern Pacific SD9 locomotives still in revenue service, all sorts of different specially painted celebratory locomotives, Coaster locomotive 2105 being moved in preparation for transport to the Southern California Railway Museum in early 2023, and more! Thanks, everyone, for making 2022 such a great year. Happy 2023!

For as long as I can remember through grade school I have been watching your channel and as a senior of 2023 it feels surreal that this is my last year of trains in review as a high schooler. Thank you, Mike for being a source for train content over the past decade.
