The Rail Brothers grew up with a love of trains, frequenting railroad museums were a common family trips and the boys would frequently be seen running across the street at the sound of diesel horn to see a Conrail, and later CSX freight train pass by. It should surprise no one that the brothers joined forces in 2019 to make higher quality railroad videos on Youtube. Since then, the Rail Brothers have expanded onto other platfoms, including Instagram, Facebook, Tic Tok and even a podcast, helping spread the railfan hobby to the masses.
