- On August 21st, 2020, I visited Nashville, Tennessee in hopes of catching one of the Nashville & Western's classic B23-7s in action. Upon arrival to the NWR's engine facility along Herman Street, an employee told me that they had recently replaced their B23-7 fleet with 2 newer B20-8s from the Nashville & Eastern. He also said that RJ Corman recently had put the old locomotives for sale! I was disappointed when I heard the news, but I still took some photos and video of the parked B23-7s because they may not be there for much longer. I then headed over to Ashland City to see the new B20-8s in action. The units put on a show while switching at Bluegrass Drive and Thompson Road just east of town. Thanks for watching!

I have saw those two units two days ago. I usually saw those three B23-7's before their retirement. I'm lucky I got to see an U23B 3901 several times in the early and 2000's.
Great video, Sam. It was so nice to meet you.
Delay In Block Productions Thanks Drayton! It was great seeing you at Dalton. Hopefully we’ll meet again.
Sad to see those 3 B23-7s leave the Nashville & Western RR… :(
R.I.P. NWR #3177, NWR #4219, and NWR #4245
A new era in North America is starting soon, with passenger carriers starting to replace their old fleet with newer SC-44 chargers from Siemens. Amtrak, on the Northeast Corridor, replaced their AEM-7 fleet with 70 ACS-64s from Siemens, while the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority, also known as the 'SEPTA,' also replaced their AEM-7 fleet with newer ACS-64s from Siemens as well. With RJ Corman having to place all 3 NWR B23-7s (and the only diesels on NWR too) up for sale and sell them off to Progress Rail for scrap, the future of Nashville & Western are 2 newly-built B20-8 locomotives from the Nashville & Eastern RR. In order to finally replace the 3 B23-7s once-and-for-all on the NWR, NERR and RJ Corman worked together to build those 2 B20-8s at the Nashville, TN, shops and paint them in a CSX-inspired paint scheme with Nashville & Eastern lettering. The 2 forever units seen after the farewell to the 3 B23-7s are lettered for Nashville & Eastern, but are owned by Nashville & Western. Farewell NWR B23-7s, hello B20-8s from Nashville & Eastern (NERR).
SamLovesTrains, all 3 NWR B23-7s are now for sale!
Would love to see the industries they service???
SamLovesTrains, what is the Nashville and Western Railroad?
Real nice catch of the of the B23-7s parked in the yard. That was neat watching the B20-8s doing there switching chores. Thank you for sharing this video with us!

Crews are currently testing NWR B23-7 #3177...
I photographed the 5938 tied down in the Nashville & Eastern's yard at Old Hickory, TN on August 2, 2020. This was definitely one of these two's first runs on the west side of town.
Hopefully a railroad museum saves one of those locomotives.
“WHAT YOU SAID”
The conrail is still available on ozark mountain railcar
SamLovesTrains, what paint schemes are those 3 B23-7s?
Awesome video!
Great video man!
Thank you!
SamLovesTrains, what exactly happened to the Nashville & Western Railroad?
They were purchased by RJ Corman.
Could you get a video of them using the swing bridge at Nashville?
Bluegrass Boy I was hoping to, but once they left I could not find them again.

Why can't this line come back Its year of 2020 It can still run not in the junkyard but doing its job get back to me on this Sam thankyou
SamLovesTrains makes way better videos than A-Train4014 Productions
Meme 69 Thanks, but A-Train4014 also makes some really cool videos.
SamLovesTrains yes he does but he uses a phone and the quality bothers me
What is the industry being switched?
Taaaarail They were switching at Strategic Materials. 1035 Thompson Rd Ashland City, TN.
@@SamLovesTrains my dad would get his tractor worked on at the (at the time) Sykes Truck Repair at this grade crossing. This would have been late 80’s. I saw some hopper cars being shoved to the industry via a front-end loader one day. Never will forget that. That industry dealt with crushed glass back then. Looks like it still does.
