What an amazing a line up and all the years that I have been recording train videos it’s not often that I have recorded this many units all on one train truly enjoyed this video!!
I haven't seen any of those Federal paperboard woodchip hoppers in 15 years! We used to always have a handful of them on NS 349 coming out of Raleigh. I was down in Rockfish this past weekend on the backside of Ft Bragg for weapon qualification, I finally got to see a good chunk of the ACWR, the shops, and a little bit of the Aberdeen and Rockfish as well. I remember years ago when I was a brakeman on the CF line, we took grain trains down to Gulf, NC to interchange with ACWR. I vaguely remember seeing an engine of theirs still in BC Rail colors in Gulf, sitting on the connection waiting to hand off empties back to us. For the past 15 years or so, they have gotten all their grain from CSX. NS created bad blood between ACWR and themselves with that. I remember the last train. It came from Roanoke, sat in Greensboro for about 4 days, ACWR brought 3 nice shiney engines over to Gulf to be in place, then we came back in from Cumnock after interchanging with ATW, expecting to turn and go back out with the grain, and it had been sent to Charlotte. But, a few months ago I caught a grain train out of Roanoke, and the symbol sounded familiar to me. 40J. I asked the conductor what the final destination was and the paperwork said Candoor. We swapped out with a crew in Spencer, that took it on to Charlotte to interchange with ACWR. Hope we see more of them. Great video!
They definitely have upped their game since I worked there . I remember coming out of that bottom after the 718 meet with 30 loads and 20 emptys and 6 GP18,s 4 axles Mtrs and have to double the train up to Ferrell gas
Just subscribed. That shortline has a classy, classy paint scheme. And, clean, classic SD40-2s, at that! That's a great nose herald - that logo. They must be expecting a bang-up business soon, if they plan to use all those CSX locomotives. We have CSX and Norfolk Southern in Atlanta. Track looks pretty good, except in the opening sequence at Aberdeen. It appeared there was a crooked knot in the rails. Seems the track and roadbed would have to be in good shape to take the beating big engines like that would put on it.
Nice to see 688 still in the old paint. If I recall correctly the AC6000's were the only ones to have YN2 with "CSX" painted in yellow. Definitely my favorite CSX paint scheme. And I just learned all of these units are retired. It's a shame but csx still has three AC6000's.
The 2 front locomotives, are pulling the train.. none of the CSX engines are running.. and all of the CSX engines with 2 lightning bolts, are 6500 hp, if they were running, they would be at idle at those speeds..
@@ArtVanAuggie In INDIAN RAILWAYS they use WAG9 series Electric Locomotives. Which is having 6350HorsePower in Each Locomotive. Since in INDIAN RAILWAYS they use 2 to 3locomotives based upon rake length
In the description you said they were going to Star for storage. Why the heck would they lease locomotives just to turn around and store them? That sounds like an NS management decision! Lol
I get the impression they were moving dead locos because that would be really over the top power. I was in Canada in May 19 They have some really long trains up there 180 cars long
So could they be dragging those other locomotives back from a big trainload One Direction. What do you think the odds of why they're dragging all those engines around. What do you think the reason is? I'm curious
This was a nice catch I'm watching "your" trains mostly on TH-cam and that's how I learn about them and by asking (maybe silly quistions💁) I was wondering, those engines were struggeling, can they (while they drive) start up an extra engine to support them? they had enough ☺
@@annmaryIM Many of the modern Locos have that capability when in a active consist, maybe 1 of 3 engines will go off line (sleep) under light power demand, then start back up when more power is needed, "Automatic Engine Start". With the train in this video it was 2 hard workers with 9 freeloader pigs, kind of like Socialism.
@@chuckgilly thank you for answering, and explaining how it works The second part I had to work out some typical sayings But I understand theme perfectly now 👍😂
@@a-lineproductions631 maybe I replied to the wrong video cuz this doesn't have 11 engines on it. It wasn't something I planned out. The the video I seen had 11 engines and I was told that two of them were pulling in the rest were off and it was a Carolina Aberdeen train first two engines
@@Muggar62 Inorder to run multiple locomotives in a consist a m.u. ( multiple unit) cable needs to be connected between each of them, and the lead or controlling locomotive needs a reverser which can be in foreward, neutral or backward position. The independent brakes (locomotive air brakes) and automatic brakes ( air brakes for whole train) are cut out ( deactivated) in trailing locomotives. When all these things are done it doesn't matter which direction trailing locomotives ( or units) are facing. They will do exactly what the lead unit does as controlled by the engineer
Wow that's a horsepower display....what...you mean to tell me you made those two EMD's at the point do all the work I hear NO output from those GE locomotives. ha ha?
Given that the engines were DIT and the stacks covered because they were going into storage/scrapping, of course those two would be only ones. However, those 6000's could really haul some trains.
These AC6000’s were sold and ACW is going to rebuild them at their shops. The AC6000’s are headed to Union Pacific, will have the CSX logo painted over, horns added and shipped out once operating again
May be slowing down . Probably is just a little bit before the election. Because all this impeachment doesn't give people confidence. Confidence is everything in an economy. But after he's re-elected going to Boom Like Crazy. But all the promoters there and money coming into the country are for a boom economy. It's going to get better and better laws that man's in office he's a businessman.
Production numbers show it wasn’t a failure nor was it junk lol if we want to talk about high horsepower locomotives and failure then the discussion gets moved to the SD90MAC or even the SD80MAC
When I worked for UP we tried not to use the AC6000 for lead power because of road failures. Now the SD90MAC had all kinds of issues. We had about 30 of them in storage.
Andrew Lequerique I think it’s more about reliability than being junk, I know CSX used them extensively and seemly had no real issues with them till later hence why they have all been sold off and their engine de-rated, main issues I’ve heard of is basically prime mover related, GE and GM both just extended the engine blocks of their 4,000 hp engines to accommodate more cylinders, obviously that never works out and you get a situation similar to the SD45 of snapping crank and cam shafts

I KNOW RIGHT? i love the old paint job, even more when its on my fav engine, AC6000
Wonderful shot of these beautiful engines. Joe

Wow 11 locomotives hauled a freight
Awesome capture bro
SOUTH COAST RAILWAYS S.Co.R Just the 2 lead units. The other ones were dead in tow.
Fantastic catches !.Well done 👍🏻
CSX making money on that run
wowza 11 csx locomotives hugest ever amount of locomotives
I have seen a TH-cam video of 39 or so locomotives
The AC6000 were not running, just being moved.
Nice lash-up on ACWR with 9 CSX AC6000's uints very epic lash-up [CSX how tomorrow move]
CSX: How tomorrow moves yesterday’s freight
A lot of good scrap metal in all those GE's
Great horn sound
Awesome lashup- interesting sight on the smaller railroads.
The 2 front locomotives, are pulling the train.. none of the CSX engines are running.. and all of the CSX engines with 2 lightning bolts, are 6500 hp, if they were running, they would be at idle at those speeds..
Idle eh. You know how trains work??
Chris Griffin
I think all of the CSX AC6000CW's got double lighting bolts
Nice chase thanks for sharing. John
Great action
1800 + 1800 + 54000 = 57600 hp! More than half 100,000 hp! WOW!
Awesome
Very nice, great video!
benchedthatpiece thanks!
I wonder where those engines are going? 2nd where is CSX gonna get more engines numbered 603-699?
Technically not a lash up. The trailing CSX locomotives are not running, probably being transported.
TV Mohini man it’s a lash up...don’t be difficult.
Ok A-Line Productions u got it 😀
Massive horsepower
None of the csx engines are running. It's just a power move to storage,the description said.
Massive thirst.
I've seen hookups like that (all running however) pulling coal Westward out of Sheridan Wyoming.

Sweet catch!
What is an Aberdeen? Is that railroad jargon for crooked track?
Wow!
In the description you said they were going to Star for storage. Why the heck would they lease locomotives just to turn around and store them? That sounds like an NS management decision! Lol
I knew that was 688 because it never got repainted I saw it every day
I wonder if they'll buy one or 2.
The paint job on the first two locomotives totally look like the old BN SD70MAC colors...
Like it up
It was part of the original NS line.
It would have been nice to know how many cars were on that train to warrant that much power. Why didn’t you show the whole train,?
Any updates on the Ac6000s?
We didn't get to see, the long line or heavy load
I get the impression they were moving dead locos because that would be really over the top power.
I was in Canada in May 19
They have some really long trains up there 180 cars long
Most of those engines we're not pulling
What would have been funny, is to see all those locomotives hauling one car. All that power needed, for one car!
Why take a chance on being underpowered. Go for the gusto, full steam ahead.🤩😁
Looks like they have a 25 mph speed limit, Nice Vid.
Anti Social Railfan Productions thanks man and i think so as well it was a easy chase and it was a good amount of traffic in the area
KERETA. API
Hp
So could they be dragging those other locomotives back from a big trainload One Direction. What do you think the odds of why they're dragging all those engines around. What do you think the reason is? I'm curious
Did they buy the csx's
Leased equipment from CSX? Odds are they are real winners CSX don't send them away till they are worn out
Wow, 11 locomotives! I wonder how many cars it was pulling.
Maga Man you counted the locos why you didn’t count the whole train🤦🏾♂️
@@a-lineproductions631 Because you kept messing with the zoom and changing the angles.
ArtVanAuggie still could’ve counted them🤷🏾♂️
A million I guess
It's either the speed limit, or those 2 locomotives are struggling the extra dead weight. At least one of them should be a helper.
25 MPH track and those Mtrs were struggling
This was a nice catch

10 engines pull uphill and downhills?
CSXs aren't running. They're dead weight for this trip
Really amazing. How do you know the travel manifest, final destination etc.?
Thomas Jey crew members.
How many of those did the wny&p scoop up?
8; 6000-6007
Awesome video....do you know what that line use to be part of?
Craig Smith acwr
I subscribed to see more. Joe's train world videos. Please be invited.
why can't they use auto focus
How many cars are they pulling ?just curios 11 engines amazing🤔
Brian Kelly did you count?
Did you ?
I think the video emphasized how many engines were on the train
Brian Kelly Don’t answer a question with a question.

What is that on that wch m bell?
I don't understand the logic where some loco's are facing backwards and some forwards yet they are all going in the same direction???
Trailing locomotives can be facing foreward or backward and it will not effect their power
@@carlzipperman6689 Just don't understand how the engine recognizes which way to go when they are facing either way.

I've seen long lash ups pass through my hometown before. Usually not pulling any cars, the trains like that were made up entirely of locomotives.
Scott Hayes that’s called a light power move
It's to get a perspective of it when you keep mindlessly zooming like that.
Pretty much..
if you look at the cars you think Amerika - If you look at the tracks you think Africa !
The tracks look that way because the video camera is zoomed in, the depth is compressed, making the track look in bad shape.
show vídeo Brasil São Paulo show vídeo Topissimo
Why many engines connected
Transportations n of LEASED locos...
Great video. Audio, not so much.

And that is why we use steam locomotives, because I unlike diesels, it only takes one steam locomotive to pull 100 cars
Ford Lover not a steam fan
That right set of tracks in your first shot is in pretty bad shape. Looks like the crown is about to break off.
None of those CSX units are running
Albert Cyphers never said they were.

Man they need some serious track work
gunsaway1 ehh not really...I’ve seen worse.
You should have seen this line 25 years ago! VASTLY improved now!
To think the fuel they'd save if the rails were even. Gotta wonder why American tracks are so bad.
Thier SD40-2's look too sharp to be leasing CSX crap.
The ACW units are SD40-3’s and the CSX AC6000’s were on the way to the ACW shops to be repaired. These ac6000’s are heading to Union Paciffic
