I was just there a few months ago!!!😊

Those engines are smoking like an old ALCO locomotives. 🤣 You’d think they would have made a few mechanical adjustments when they repainted it. Oh well, it’s not an issue. That’s one Super Shot! Great Catch! 👍

Not a ex conrail it’s a rebild

Excellent good Video! I like it!

They are not taken care of

thats pretty interesting line, had to interchange some cars to ns from csx kanawah sub. got to take look at it from below. That bridge is long pretty impressive feat of engineering to be there since early 1900s. Always found the Virginian interesting

Interesting assemblage of ageing EMD power. Doesn't look like they spend *too* much on servicing, although a couple of those units had nice paint jobs

Dont let FJB see this video. He'll sign an executive order the convert all locos to battery powered electric. All that smoke will trigger him.🙀🙀🙀

First comment! Nice catch Austin!

For a minute there, I thought you were sitting in a circle ☺

Better get those units to shop soon...

Hah. B-36 train. “two turning, two burning, two smoking, two choking and two more unaccounted for”

great shot! Haven't seen a configuration where four helpers were stuck at the rear. Does this help the coal dump process later?

The train is NOT struggling, it turbo is worn and that lets oil go right into the engine. When oil gets into an engine it makes lots of smoke. IDIOTS today.

A very nicely presented video. A neat little out of the way location. A “survivor” station to highlight. Some text to read, with some narration mixed in. Amtrak mixed with freight. Perfect length of the video also. Nicely done, G&A Adventures.

Eight engines WOW, that train was long and heavy.

Outstanding video and thanks for sharing. Dave

Mu cable came out?

Is this crossing the Kanawha to Deepwater?

Struggling? Hardly. Initially, they were only in run 2 or 3. Only toward the end did I hear anything like run 6 or 7 with two or three more "notches" to go.

Whereabouts in Virginia was that at

Looks like them old girls were doing some huffing and some puffin

The Virginian was all electric once upon a time.

You are at my favorite railfan spot when I went to college at Montgomery in the late 80s and early 90s. I photographed NS taking a 200 car test coal train out of there once. it had 9 engines . 3 upfront, 3 mid train helpers (manned) and a second set 20 cars from the rear. The rear 20 cars were conrail loaded grain cars plus a caboose. It was an awesome site. to see.

They just burn those engines up.😂

How do they control 8 movers on this train?

3rd and 4th units turbo chargers are ready to take a dump

2 Working Locos, and 2 Locos repelling Mosquitos, bringing a pile of pollution to a city near you!

Nah...I don't think it was struggling at all..the last two locos were just smoking a lot. Four powerful locos pulling one of these, nah, no biggie.

Those are some very tired EMDs front and back.

Looks like that last loco was carrying all the load

Wow that 3rd unit looks like a SD-70. and the 4th also a EMD , not sure another SD-70 or SD-60 burning oil ? Usually its GE like the leads that blow turbos and smoke it up . EMD used to be so superior in build but its rugged terrain and extreme loads. Nice video

That first horn created a eerie echo

Wow at first I thought 2 of the locos might have been steam locos with all that smoke billowing out from them. A great location to capture all the locos working hard to move this long load of coal. Great to see you're back - missed viewing your amazing railfanning uploads. Happy New Year.

is that in or at or in and at?!

Best spot in Lexington for catching NS

YEAAAA ROSEMONT

😂

Hi Walter! Merry Christas!

Oh I love a CHESSIE 🚂

Sweet catch. I’ve only ever caught Amtrak passing thru, love Thurmond!

Stop the cap 🧢 😂

lol put them protective glasses on as soon as he seen someone recording

I’ve always wanted to know why does one engine run forward and one engine runs backwards

He started a rival of interest in America’s railroads & a flurry in Amtrak travel, foregoing planes, us included. Wouldn’t have ever had the courage without him. Ride on Shoestring Mark, and God bless.

Actually its conductor explanation engineer sits on right side conductor sits on left except some GP9’s

I saw him when I was catching Florida East Coast

Hey, nice video I just saw this video. I’d like you to come down to Clifton Forge on December 18 and see me because December is my birthday and I’m going to Clifton Forge for my birthday my birthday until the 27th but I want to write Amtrak on the 27th because they were sold out of tickets so instead I’m celebrating my birthday on the 18th.

Never seen one do thaf before i think they are ussally focused when they do moves like that

Just wished you would have I'd the landmarks last time I was there was in 1999 for mom's funeral
