Speaking of coal trains, I live 1 mile west of lake michigan, and i/2 mile west of UP, Metra. The coal trains rattle things on my walls during winter. In summer I can hear the coal trains whistleing a couple streets away, in time to pedal down to the nearest crossing and feel the horsepowar rattleing my innerds. Other than that thrill, my jollies with contemporary RR'ing is nill. Old narrow gauge trains get my full attention anytime.

For over 100 years, coal moved west and empties east on the B&O, leaving cinders 3+ feet deep on Sandpatch grade to this day.

Making a run to build up speed before assaulting a 2% grade
EM-1 #7607 leads 53 loads over the Allegheny Mtns as eastbound empties head down the mountain
