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.
Thank you! To answer the question before it was edited, they came down with three units (6002, 6003, 6004). There's a small grade between Bruceton and the Bruceton tunnel, but from there to Glenwood the line follows the river downhill. I didn't do a great job showing it, but they picked up a helper out of Glenwood to handle the Bakerstown grade.
My special needs son says that there are ways to use combustion and still protect the environment like planting more trees 🌳 because they are natural air purifiers and oxygen tanks and using fuel cells for carbon capture.

I grew up in greenfield I recognize that Glenwood tower like a gem. Im sure this aint the last coal we ever gonna see on the AVR but still a shame there aint as much as there was.
I hope not, but it seems unlikely; the AVR/B&P no longer have any online customers for coal, so there's nothing for them to deliver. B&P still serves the Penfield mine, but their regular trains run north, and the irregular southbound moves they did this summer ran with/used NS and CSX consists/routings. Unless there's more shipments from Nelms heading north, AVR's out of the way, Bailey and Loveridge are the only mines south of them on the network, and they're served by the Class 1s.
Climate con 2024,, Coal fired power plants will be back, Wind mills can't do it like a good ole coal fired power plant, besides with scrubbers they are super clean. Great looking SD60's ! They look brand new. Sound good also, when in doubt, notch it out! Cool video, Best regards, chuck.
My special needs son agrees with you on that completely! He says that there are ways to use combustion and still protect the environment like using fuel cells for carbon capture and planting more trees 🌳 because they are natural air purifiers and oxygen tanks. He also says that wind turbines spoil the scenery and that the wind doesn't blow nonstop forever so they should not relied on so much.
@@gretchenchadwick8343 You have a smart son there Gretchen. He is seeing through the chafe dispersed by the government and media. Trees and plants love carbon dioxide. Government would rather push this leftist narrative. Discernment is a wonderful thing! Best regards Chuck
Thanks airing and sharing the outstanding video with magnificent locomotives. Railfanning endeavors are prominent.Bliss
You're welcome!

One week from now marks a full year since this happened
I love this
Thank you!
@@pittsburghrailfan your welcome
Hi and Happy New Year! New subscriber. Great railfanning video of an unfamiliar line, to me. Well done.
Nice Video,

Coal keeps the lights on!!

Thanx for documenting this. That kinda sucks that the power generating station closed. I like coal power and coal trains.
The loss of traffic is unfortunate, but it is what it is.
