Railfanning Rootstown Ohio 8/3/2024 Feat. Helper Pack, WFRX, Coal Train, & More!

This wasn't a good idea to go railfanning on a cloudy day. I knew the weather got worse when the weather predicts it is cloudy, however this wasn't a good choice, I am going to have to pick a sunny day where there is no thunderstorm/rain, so I have to look carefully on the weather channel. The exciting part is that I get to see some coal trains and a train meet including a loaded ethanol train going east. I didn't see any high-speed intermodal or manifest train going through Rootstown today which is quite sad, I don't know why they are not going 60mph or higher, they said 60mph freights are documented here for somehow. This is my first time railfanning here, so I did know there are high speed freights go through there, however they seem like they have to go on restrictions for some reasons because I did see some track switches on trains that is actually because they depend on their schedule.

Enjoy The Video!
