Just two days ago, my mother and I went down to Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park CA to see if anything else has changed. Unfortunately they took down the America 250 stuff, but just like everyone else they're getting ready for halloween, which is already a month and a half away from now. Now this was when I was not ready to go on any intense rides, especially the recently reopened Montezooma The Forbidden Fortress, and after hearing about Six Flag's lawsuit after someone died on the X2 ride at Magic Mountain (most likely had a heart attack I don’t remember) which is another reason why we took things easy for the day. We got ourselves passes that are good until August of next year in 2027. Wish us the best of luck if we decide to go back again! Just so long as it's not for Knott's Scary Farm. Way too scary for me and my mother.
Now for the steam locomotive in the video. Built in 1881, former D&RGW No.340 the "Green River" did the honors for pulling the ghost train around the park, while RGS No.41 the "Walter Knott" was stored away for the day. No way did I ever expect to see the 340 up close and personal! Me and my mom that is. Last time I saw the 340 was in Route Of The Southwest Chief, the fourth video in Greg Scholl's America By Rail series I used to watch when I was a kid! And I thought the Galloping Goose was surprising enough, but this one takes the cake since we usually see the 41 more often than the 340, which made today the most surprising of the week. Interesting trivia: Both the 340 and 41 are C-19 Consolidations built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1881.
It was pretty hot at the time these shots were taken, but we didn't stay there for long because of how tired we got at the time. Apart from that, we did have a lot of fun. If only we can stay a little longer like last time with my uncle and his son. Man I really need to stop with the rhyming. Anyway, we had a great day and we would bring the rest of my family along for some thrills. That is, until I start getting another headache again. Hope we don't get a heart attack though.

![[Trainz 2019] Gintama “Pickpocketing” Remake](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/tn4tcdzYXFI/mqdefault.jpg "[Trainz 2019] Gintama “Pickpocketing” Remake
Now before anyone asks, this video isn’t 100% accurate with the translation, and if anyone asks why there isn’t enough rolling stock or scenery in the background of some shots, I’d blame the switching crew responsible for arranging the consists between shots. Either that or it’s perfectly fine, it’s just that it was filmed further away from where all the consists were. Oh well.
Anyway, this is the first ever parody/remake of Gintama I have ever made! I know that I should’ve used Japanese locomotives and rolling stock which would’ve been more appropriate for me since the audio is already Japanese, but what the heck, anyone can learn Japanese, even us Schewpid Americans! lol.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own the original audio clip, nor do I condone the act of pickpocketing. A crime such as this must be tolerated by any means necessary.
As for the 2479, I was going to give her a voice, particularly one from MLP, but I decided not to but instead I dubbed her whistle in that clip. Same goes with the SD45, except I forgot to add the bell sound for good ol’ Gintoki. Oh well, it still works even without the bell.
If anyone doesn’t know, at 0:19, I included a sound bite of Joseph Joestar (who shares the same voice as Gintoki) from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventures: All Star Battle R, which is basically the element of surprise in this video. The surprise that is, being bumped by a little kid. Talk about tough luck, even in a busy rail yard. You live and learn, what can I say?

This one took me a lot longer than I thought after I finished my homework for today, but here’s another Simpsons Movie clip I decided to remake! If you don’t know what’s going on, allow me to elaborate.
BREAKING NEWS!!! It is day 37 since the US Government has placed a huge dome over Springfield, and most of its citizens are losing their sanity! Their only news anchor, Kent Brockman, is trying his best to keep the town he loves informed for any future updates, whether or not the situation will worsen.
Over at Moe’s Tavern, we see Moe, Carl, Barney and Lenny trying to stay sane, until the power goes out. That’s when things start to get weird.
Audio Source: https://youtu.be/SdeDGby6hec?si=OvCH6Ou8TWQ3NwIB
Models Used:
- UTLX Tanker - Built In
- SP SD45 - Built In
- UP SD40-2 - DLS
- UP Challenger #3800
- SP AC-4 #4100 Postwar (PRIVATE)
- GTW #6325 U3b - K&L Trainz
If you’re wondering how I made the headlights illuminate the surroundings, mainly from the makeshift TV and when Moe gets “grounded” lol pun intended, I basically used another locomotive for both scenes and hid them using invisible track. Clever eh? Why don’t you trainz content creators give it a try? It’s a fun trick!

This is it guys, the third installment of more trainz clips dubbed with real sound effects! You thought this series was dead, right? Well you thought wrong! Well heres whats happening in this video:
DISCLAIMER: The trains you will see, and the various routes shown in this video arent 100% accurate, but they are definitely close to how many consists looked in real life.
Clip 1: As dawn breaks, an SP manifest freight train flies through a crossing while the engineer widens the throttle to keep up with their busy schedule.
SFX: https://soundideas.sourceaudio.com/track/7559783
Clip 2: All is quiet, until a CP Intermodal train roars by with a surprise for many, but a welcome one.
SFX: https://soundideas.sourceaudio.com/track/41758249
Clip 3: An ATSF mixed freight train is slowing down to a red signal, while passing through a private crossing in the middle of the desert.
SFX: https://soundideas.sourceaudio.com/track/25950708

Clip 5: One of the CPs local grain trains was slowly passing by a private crossing. Not too much to explain here.
SFX: https://youtu.be/NJ4dZzdkc5s?si=skfY3xDO_od8IIzv
Clip 6: A GTW manifest freight approaches a crossing at medium speed on a late evening in 1987.

SFX: https://www.audiomicro.com/approach-pass-train-diesel-royalty-free-stock-music-989444
Clip 9: The year was 1943, and SP AC-3 #4025 (despite her age) pulls one of the SPs famous Pacific Fruit Express (PFE) trains across the Mojave Desert, and her whistle shreeks out loud across the remote desert landscape while the train coasts along past a remote railroad crossing.
Whistle: https://soundideas.sourceaudio.com/track/43957082
Misc: https://youtu.be/-dVegsBFsVw?si=dEKa_2FQlZw_ok9Q
Clip 10: In 1994, we see one of the last mixed trains of the ATSF before the BNSF merger of 1995.

Clip 11: We now save the best for last, as we see SP AC-12 Cab Forward #4294 whistling by a crossing shortly after passing through Edison CA approximately 5 miles or less behind her.
*Editors note: Since there are no actual recordings (Video or audio) of the old 4294 in action, I had to improvise by mixing whatever sounds I could use, and this is the final result.*

Well ladies and gentlemen, it’s been a long time since I made my last video in this series, but it’s finally back after so long! If you thought my 4th remake was the end, think again.

![[Trainz 2019] Silver Train Music Video - Thanksgiving Day Special](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/wetEPcB3UVw/mqdefault.jpg "[Trainz 2019] Silver Train Music Video - Thanksgiving Day Special
Happy Thanksgiving Day everyone! For this special occasion, I have finally put together a banger of a video! First time featuring the Rolling Stones! So without further ado, enjoy all the sights and sounds this music video has to offer by yours truly!
Btw since I got Trainz 2022 again, this will be the last Trainz 2019 music video I’ll make. At least for a while.
SFX only version: https://youtu.be/y67LwVlYSgQ?si=IRfkpqz99F2w1iAf
DISCLAIMER: I do not own the rights to this song! I only used it for entertainment.
Yes I am aware that the cab forward 4294 model I used has her white stripes in some shots. That’s because I was reskinning the model at the same time I was recording some of these shots. And personally, I like it better without the white stripes, so from this point forward it’ll be just that. No stripes, no problem.
I have personally never heard of this song in a very long time. The very first time I heard it, I was watching a short video compilation of the many trains seen in several movies, and this song played right after the infamous “Choo Choo Ch-Boggie” song from a movie A League of Their Own starring Tom Hanks. I forgot how the video first started, but it did include several train clips from movies like Silver Streak, Superman, Indiana Jones (I forgot which movie it was) Stand By Me, and several others which I have long since forgotten from that video. It’s been so long since I have seen that video, but it feels good to be listening to this song once again after not hearing it for so long! Let me tell y’all, the power of nostalgia is ruthless!
