2024: A Year of Trains in Review

Hello, everyone! Happy New Year! Thank you to all of you for making 2024 another fantastic year on the YouTube channel. It is time once again for the Year of Trains in Review, where I go back and review some of the highlights of the last 12 months in chronological order from January 1st all the way up to December. As a reminder, I am now taking questions for the 2025 Year Update and Q&A video. If you have anything you want to ask me and you'd like to be featured in the video, reply to my pinned comment in the comments section of this video by January 7th. Thanks again!

Hey, everyone! Thanks for making 2024 a fantastic year! If you have any questions you’d like to ask me for the 2025 Q&A video that you haven’t submitted yet, please post them as a reply to this pinned comment. Thanks and I’ll see you next year!

As a dad of an almost 6 year old with moderate-severe autism, your channel has been a lifesaver. The California Trains video is almost a daily watch and on our travel playlist for those travel tantrums. I’m sure I’m not alone in thanking you for all the filming and editing work you do and putting together montages of awesome trains and calming motion for our neurodivergent little ones. From the bottom of my heart Thank you and happy new years!

アムトラックは昔と大分変わりましたね
2024年も素晴らしい映像をありがとうごさいました。

Excuse me as a Japanese person. I have been watching your videos for about 10 years now. Amtrak has changed a lot since the old days. Thank you for the wonderful footage in 2024.
