FR8HOUND 38 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Glad I'm moving to Houston! woo-hoo! If you're ever out this way, check out Cumberland, Maryland. I made the 3 hr. drive to there to check it out, and all I can say is dayyyyuuummmmn, huge, and tons of freights coming and going, I swear it was like every 10-15 min. I shot like 100 flicks there in half a day, all quality panels too. I remember seeing the sign upon entering Cumberland. Welcome to Cumberland, Md. A big wooden sign with a train on it...

boobyknockers 1 Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I live in Houston and its huge but i sit down by washingtn ave. waiting for west bounds to move out the englewood yard heading to san antonio. But that spot sucks balls. its better in the afternoon but is there some certain spot i should know about. Rolling Nowhere would maybe know. I want to see trains every 15-30 min. I like Howell WYE in Atlanta. big railfan area and they got an actual bench you can sip 40s and chill its tight. I never down it but the Bailey yard would be sweet as fuck to bench. Maybe ill do that this summer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

..romero.. 212 Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 bethlehem penn has some pretty chill yards,dallas has some cool spots,jacksonville and tyler texas if your willing to go to the ghetto has some pretty dope spots to bomb in i hear. and in and around kansas city.kc has mad freights like chicago but is alot easier to access.ive never been benching in chicago but i heard that alot of the yards our locked up tight.atleast from what i remember.wichita ks has some nice lay ups..thats with most of kansas.you can go to anywhere in kansas and find mad freights and no hassle from the workers or rr cops at all.your able to walk right into most of them with no problem.midwest has the best yards in my opinion.i lived in a town of 30k in KS and had atleast 10 trains go by my house every day and alot mad frequent stops.
