[4K60] Smoking it up: Hocking Valley 701 Leads Excursion Trains on the Scenic Railroad
After finding myself in the Hocking Valley region of Ohio for a family reunion, I discovered that nearby, the @hockingvalleyscenicrailway1014 offered scenic train rides along the Hocking River from Nelsonville as far as the outskirts of Logan, OH. I decided to pay a visit and chase the day's two excursions along this former C&O coal route, which today were led by one of several Paducah rebuilt-Geeps I saw that year. The train crew were all railfans and excited to see me out, and engineer Mark gave a particularly great show with the former Sprint cable GP10M.

The "epic" conclusion to a rainy afternoon chase of Maryland & Delaware's Worton job with Black River & Western SW1200 1202. This part constitutes the actual 'rocket' portion of the trip, on the 40-mph stretch from Massey to the DCR interchange at Townsend. With the condition of the roads and my inexperience with this chase, I didn't clean up, but it was a good first attempt. 1202 was on loan f...

Of all the much-hyped and much-shot B23-S7s (also known as B23-7Rs or Super 7s), 4094 was probably my favorite because of its peeling black-and-orange paint that reflected its tumultuous ownership history: Monongahela, then Conrail, then (briefly) NS, then New Castle Industrial, Ohio Central, and finally G&W. As of this writing, while the last two Super 7s in service still work the CNL-1, the j...

    That was a very nice catch on some Street running I was not aware of. Talk about the classic back alley look with the old siren the roof lines and old brick buildings plus the old Depot. This train would have passed by the area I usually watch them at in Milwaukee. This train originated at Tunnel City WI home of the last active RR tunnel in the state and the vast majority of production goes to PA & WV in 100 car trains with power setup two up front. It does rate quite a bit of foreign power add now KCS units. You picked a great Detour for the afternoon thanks for sharing

    Interesting as it doesn't really even look like a steel processing plant but the coil cars give it away. Those driveways with the tracks what is indicative of how the rail system was at Allis Chalmers in West Allis WI and is either now torn down or converted to other usage. Poor old LTEX equipment sure looks rough even when they put new paint on it

      As it stands, DCR/Carload Express has more than enough power, so chances are if the purchase is approved any new units will end up being MP15s. Personally I don't mind, I'll miss the RS-3ms, but the off-center headlights make the MP15s pretty funky, and a few have decent horns.

The Contractor was repairing the curb and sidewalk in front of the that building, they all just sat or leaned over the railing to watch.

      I'm assuming because it makes them money, and that's where they have space, there's not many other sidings on the railroad other than in Glenwood that they aren't using. At least back in January they were using the yard to store SPMX plastics hoppers.

    Will WE still drop off natural gas cars for the AVR to pick up and will AVR take them to the siding for the B&P to take and will the AVR run light back

      Yep, WE still drops off tank cars. Those run on AVR-3 or on an extra/AVR-5 to Glenwood, then relay up on the regular AVR-1 night freight that interchanges with B&P.

    I know how trains do take empty cars at night do you know way they made their local run at night to

    • @pittsburghrailfan
      @pittsburghrailfan 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      AVR-3 ran at night because of the ballast train working during the day, if that's what you're asking.

    Do you have any videos of AVR-3 coming at night in 2021 and them switching out the ballast cars at Tylerdale siding and by V-bat.

      I have one terrible shot of AVR-3 at night in 2021, I was chasing the WE billet train and out-of-position/didn't trust my ears. th-cam.com/video/Kcf59KADcJ4/w-d-xo.html. Unfortunately, the one time I caught a ballast train I had to break off for a prior engagement, so I only caught them at Bruceton. th-cam.com/video/Q-OTVCDzRDg/w-d-xo.html

    Nice video bud! I love a nice chase on a gloomy day, and with killer power too!

    I like how you can see the similarities between the HHP-8 and Acela power cars.

    Very cool & somewhat rear military catch. This was equipment from the 4th Battalion 3rd Air Defense Artillery Regiment (4-3 ADA) (Patriot Missile) @ Fort Sill, OK. They had completed a deployment in January of 2023 as part of Operation Enduring Freedom - Spartan Shield in the United Arab Emirates. My most likely guess is the equipment is heading to Letterkenny Army Depot in PA for heavy repair or upgrade.
