Zach and NightEagle logo (2015- present)

**Zach And Night Eagle** is a channel with over 300 subscribers who is ran by Kahlel Robinson (Zach Transit) and Alex Cruz (NightEagle). So far they have 8 different series' on their main transit channel, and over 4 on their gaming channel. Their logo is half Flatbush Depot (left) and half East New York Depot (right).

## Origin

Having a Youtube Channel always lingered in Kahlel and Alex's head ever since they met in 9th Grade, but before they created the channel, they had a Vine account named; ***"Zach And Psycho"*** in 2014 with *Psycho* being Alex's first nickname. The original Vine Account was abandoned after the password for forgotten, so a Second Account was made named ***"Zach And Psycho 2."*** As a last attempt, they created the ***"Zach And Crazy Kid"*** Vine account in which they only posted only 2 videos. They only recurring character was the ***"I like flowers" guy***, who would always hit or throw flowers at people and would always get hurt as a result of it. In between 2014 and 2015, Alex then again changed his name to Night Eagle while Kahlel's name remained the same. On October 24th, 2015, their Youtube Channel was finally created, but at the time it's name was ***"Zach And Night Eagle Vlogs."*** The plan was to have separate accounts for different things such as Vlogs, Rants, and Video Game Commentary.

## Vlogs

On that exact same day, ***"3500 SUCKS"***, ***"SPONSORS"***, ***"Night Eagle's Torture on the (E)"***, and ***"The aftermath of Night Eagle's Torture"*** was uploaded as their first ever vlogs on the channel. Later on the decision to change the channel was made, it turned into what it is now; "Zach And Night Eagle." On October 29th, 2015, ***"Elizabeth the Next Gen"*** was uploaded as their 4th vlog, introducing ***Elizabeth the Next Gen***. It was said in the description that another video was supposed to take the place of their 4th vlog, but the Quality of it was poor and had to be scrapped. No video of it exists and is categorized as a "Lost Video."

## Blooperz

On November 22nd, 2015, They created another series called; ***"Blooperz"*** which is just a bunch of outtakes from previous videos. Their first was from an update video on the exact same day. The second one was from ***"ANOTHER MYSTERIOUS PERSON!"***.

## Rants

On December 23th 2015, Zach And Night Eagle introduced their first Rant video called; ***"NICE talk!"*** ***Zach And Night Eagle Rants*** are videos mostly from 29-40 minutes long that envolve Kahlel or Alex explaining on particular bus or train that they hate. One video titled; ***"FLEXI RANT 2(the sequel)"*** was over 1 hour and 18 minutes long, being Z+NE's longest video ever. After that a rule was made that no video will exceed over 50 minutes(unless it's a movie, which is highly unlikely).

## [X] Talks

The first ***[X Talks]*** video was uploaded on September 24th, 2016 and was a brand new series to the Channel. [X] Talks is a solo vlogging series in which one person from the team can upload whatever they want as long as it's just them. The series is special because it drops the *"Zach And Night Eagle"* prefix, same with CNG Podcast. This series would later on be discontinued due to lack of videos.

## CNG Podcast

On June 8th, 2016, Zach And Night Eagle announced a new series called ***"CNG Podcast"*** which was one of the first series to ever drop the *"Zach And Night Eagle"* prefix (for example; Zach And Night Eagle Vlogs). When they announced it on their Instagram, they showed a clip of a new User Interface for the series as a GIF file. Even though it was first announced on June 8th, it's first episode was released on October 3rd, 2016, and didn't look anything like the GIF file at all. The episodes in the series is expected to be about 40-50 minutes long while also trying not exceeding over 59 minutes. Out of all 3 episodes, ***#2*** and ***#3*** are the most popular with over 4 thousand views. The name was later on changed to *"The Delinquents Jail Cell"* on August 3rd, 2018. The "CNG Podcast" name would return on June 2nd, 2020, as the *"The Delinquents Jail Cell"* podcast would move to the Zach and NightEagle gaming channel on October 18th, of that same year.

## Zach and Fred Adventures

On October 19th, 2017, Zach and Fred Adventures was created as a vlog-like series with only Zach and Freddy. On Febuary 8th, 2018, *"Quest to save Alex"* was uploaded without the *"Zach and Fred"* prefix due to the video featuring NightEagle who missed his stop on a Long Beach train. The series intro is 14 seconds long and uses the opening theme of Sonic Mania. Half way through it's lifespan, the series got an updated intro with the same song but different scenes.

## Triple Trouble

On February 14th, 2018, the all new series known as *"Triple Trouble"* was created, featuring Victor Skellington, Freddy, or X, where the Zach and Night Eagle team vlog their adventures (similar to Z+NE Vlogs but with more people). Their farthest journey was to Jones Beach, which was said to have never been uploaded due to the wind blowing in the camera's microphone. The series intro is 13 seconds long and features *"A new day"* from Sonic Rush.

## BVE Madness

Due to the start of COVID-19, the **BVE Madness** streams was created on March 23rd, 2020, with either Zach, Alex, or both operating different rolling stock on different routes on a schedule. With the use of Parsec, both Zach and Alex was able to take turns, operating the train and opening/closing the doors at the same time. BVE Madness had 17 streams before going on a hiatus due to the lack of new routes available on June 18th. BVE Madness would temporarily return for a "*Holiday Special"* between December 7th, and December 21st, operating along a fictional (V) train route between 2nd Avenue and Forest Hills-71st Avenue. Since then, the series would remain on hiatus.

## Train Simulator

On March 21st, 2021, Zach and NightEagle created the **"Train Simulator"** series, which handled similar to the "BVE Madness" streams, and that Zach would operate along various routes in Train Simulator 2021 with different rolling stock. The first video was streamed on March 24th (one day after the anniversary of BVE Madness), and featured a roundtrip journey between Philadelphia and New Haven along Amtrak's Northeast Corridor. The Train Simulator streams were designed with the countless flaws of BVE Madness in mind. Train Simulator schedules and departure times are fictional rather than based off of real life times, breaks in between runs are a total of 25 minutes, runs are roundtrip rather than one direction, the use of dynamic in-game time and weather allow for different settings, and each stream are every other week on either Monday's or Wednesday's.

## SRB2K Championship

A month after Zach and NightEagle gaming started uploading streams, the **Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart Championship** (also known as the **SRB2K championship**) was created on June 8th, 2020. It featured 20 races at different stages, and introduced a teammate system where the championship team would be decided by which team scores the most points (team points are a combination of both teammates' points). The first championship also introduced a limitation on characters so no player had an advantage based on stats. This would later on be removed in the second championship stream on June 11th. A single player SRB2K championship was introduced on August 25th due to a low number of players available for the stream. Instead of the teammate system, whichever player had the most points by the end would win the overall championship. Later updates to the SRB2K championship rules on August 13th would change how championships would stream. The championship would be split into two streams, with the second one being the championship decider, and the number of races was reduced from 20 to 15.

## Kart Take Over

After the introduction of the SRB2K Championship, **Kart Takeover** was created on July 6th. Unlike the championship, it focuses on the Zach and NightEagle crew playing on random servers on SRB2K. Kart Takeover was often streamed in periods where the Championship was on hiatus.

## Rocket League Championship

On March 7th, 2021, the Zach and NightEagle **Rocket League Championship** was announced on their discord server. The first video was streamed on the 15th of March, and also featured Techno 7843, who was on Team Titanium with Vinny. The championship's "two toned" colors represent Zach and NightEagle's Rocket League team named *"Amity's Calamity"*, which has a color scheme similar to that of Amity Blight's green hair from The Owl House.

## The Delinquents Jail Cell

On August 3rd, 2018, Zach and Night Eagle announced that *"CNG Podcast"* would be changed to *"The Delinquents Jail Cell"* after the first episode was released. The Podcasts are 50 minutes to an hour long, and also feature Victor Skellington, Freddy, X, and Nick as they discuss different topics that they all selected. CNG Podcast would later return on June 2nd, 2020, and *"The Delinquents Jail Cell Podcast"* would move to the gaming channel on October 18th.
