First off, I am not quite sure where to put this thread, and it might be moved.
In the past few years, train and transit YouTube has become a popular niche, and there are countless videos of people sharing their personal travels, as well as history and theory behind rail and other transport.
In another thread, I saw people sharing the Miles in Transit "Great Race" videos, and they were popular (as they should be!). I thought a thread where people could share and discuss their favorite videos and channels might be fun!
One of the great things about these YouTube channels is they provide such a spectrum of focus. There are channels that provide first person views of what it is like to ride trains, while others talk about theory, history and policy. Some of them are glossy and well-produced, and focused on luxury travel, while others are grainy cell footage of subway lines.
The only guidelines I really wanted to make for this thread is that channels and videos should be mostly focused on trains and transit. Videos that focus on other aspect of travel (like hotels, etc.) aren't really the main focus. Also, while rail policy and history are relevant, we probably want to avoid anything that is too political. Other than that, please feel free to share what you like to watch!
