Original description from 2019: I am sorry for not uploading as many Kyrene Local videos lately. For some reason I have not been seeing them as much as I was, but today I caught one. I also got to meet Back Alley Railroading! Union Pacific GP60 2018 with the Kyrene Local in various locations. Catch 1: UP 2018 leads its train heading south on Ray Rd and actually blows its horn for me despite it being a quiet zone. (0:16) Catch 2: UP 2018 heads south at the crossing on Morelos Pl with its train. (1:20) Catch 3: UP 2018, now leading long-hood-forward, leads two empty centerbeam cars at Willis Rd. (2:18) Catch 4: UP 2018 heads north with six cars at the crossing on Frye Rd. (3:15) Catch 5: UP 2018 leads the northbound Kyrene Local through the busy intersection of Kyrene and Elliot in Tempe, AZ. (4:45)

Hooray! I can finally use my tripod! The Enoshima Electric Railway, often shortened to the Enoden, is a short railway that connects Fujisawa, Enoshima, and Kamakura in Japan. Opening in 1902, the line has served the town for over a century and still remains a popular icon of the area to this day. The railways is also famous for several reasons. Despite being just over six miles long, the scenery along the ride is definitely one of Japan's most diverse for a railway this short. Starting in Fujisawa, it runs through your typical Japanese suburbs, but after Enoshima Station, the line goes in the middle of the street for a quarter of a mile, squeezes through some narrow alleyways, then runs along the sea! After that, it passes through two tunnels and green hills before arriving at Kamakura Station. The trains run every fifteen minutes, so the wait between catches is not very long. Due to its aforementioned short length, catching the same train several times within the span of few hours is more than possible, which makes some great opportunities to get multiple shots of them. Train 1: Setting up at the crossing just east of Enoshima Station, we catch our first train led by Enoden 2000 Series Number 2003. This crossing features the train doing a tight S curve over a four way intersection as well as the spot the train begins street running. Instead of gates, the train indicators are done with LED lights strung up around the entire street running section. Such a crossing would probably be ridden with tons of collisions and accidents in America. More about this crossing: the trains have to blow their horns here! Despite all this, the main reason I chose to set up at this crossing was because...well, if you know, you know, (0:15). Train 2: Another 2000 Series Number 2051 heads back across the crossing and slows down to get by a Mini Cooper, briefly entrapping it as it passes, (0:41). Train 3: 2000 Series 2002 leads over the S curve, now shot from the other side of the street, (1:38). Train 4: Enoden 20 Series 61 leads its train over the S curve, (2:06). Train 5: Another 20 Series, 22, leading the railway's only 10 Series, identifiable by its unique blue livery, cross the curve. I set up here to try and recreate...you know what...without getting in the road itself. Unfortunately, right as the train came it started raining, and drops got on the lens, (2:47). Train 6: 500 Series 551 leads onto the S curve and blows its horn, (3:10). Train 7: Moving onto the street running segment, 1000 Series 1101 in the "Baby Star" ad wrap heads down the road. The 1000 Series and its variant the 1200 Series are the trains to catch right now, as they were built in the 1970s and 1980s. Due to their age, retirement has been hinted for them, (3:40). Train 8: Another 1000 Series, 1051, heads down the street, (4:32). Train 9: 1200 Series 1201 enters the street running section from the other side, (5:20). Train 10: After having a delicious lunch at a taco restaurant that may or may not have something to do with the crossing, I went down one of the narrow streets to catch the 20 Series 22 heading back the other way, (5:25). Train 11: 500 Series 551 heads toward the seaside section, (6:17). Train 12: The ad-wrapped 1101 leaves the seaside and heads inward, (6:55). Train 13: Setting up at the most famous spot on the Enoden Line, Kamakurakoko-Mae Station, we see several people duck in front of my camera, then 1051 leads across the crossing right as a girl stands in front of my camera and blocks my shot. Yup... This crossing is extremely popular for its appearance in the manga/anime Slam Dunk (never watched it) and there were about 20 people here all waiting for the train so they could get this exact angle. Closing the shot is some very wise words of advice from myself, (7:24). Train 14: 1200 Series 1201 heads the other way from the other side of the crossing, (8:26). Train 15: 500 Series 502 departs Shichirigahama Station and blows its horn, (8:52). Train 16: 10 Series arrives at Shichirigahama Station to pick me up for my return to Tokyo, (9:19).

As of 2019 this crossing has been taken out in favor of a new overpass (visible under construction in the background). Train 1: UP 8636 leads an eastbound stack, (0:15). Locomotives: UP 8636 UP 6197 UP 7286 Train 2: UP 8063 leads an eastbound Intermodal, (1:56). Locomotives: UP 8063 UP 2596 UP 8593 UP 5580 Train 3: UP 8221 leads an eastbound Manifest, (3:05). Locomotives: UP 8221 UP 5207 UP 6464 UP 2722 (DPU) Train 4: UP SD70M leads an eastbound Intermodal, (5:22). Locomotives: UP 40?? UP 2??? Original description from 2019: I went to Maricopa to try and catch the 4141 and 1943, but they were still in Tucson at the time, it was getting dark, and I have school tomorrow, so I decided to call it a day. I did manage to catch 4 trains: 3 Intermodals and a Manifest, though.

A train I stumbled upon right after the previous ones in Maricopa and Casa Grande. Locomotives: UP 1211 Original description from 2019: I happened to be driving down Chandler Boulevard and saw the crossing lights go down for UP 1211. Wasn't the 1377 this time, but wasn't any locomotive I hadn't caught, either.
