- Winter in Georgia! Rarely, but not unheard of, it may even snow here. That's what happened last night and possibly brought CSX Q616-22 in the hilly section between Carlton GA and Elberton GA into trouble. Q616 is a northbound manifest. It blocked the main track and empty coal hopper train E148-22 (with mid-DPU) got stuck in the nearest siding to the north, Norman in Elberton. Decision was made that the two engines of E148 go out and pull Q616 out of its misery. Watch their story, which in real time took 3 hours. [© 2016 MBMARS Productions.

820 had a beautiful sound as she crawled by! 👍😎
Hi mbmars01, great video, thank you for taking the time and effort to share this "incident" with the railfan community, it helps modellers trying to emulate prototype conditions, Ciao, L
Thank you, that's awesome! I haven't thought that my videos might also be useful in this regard. There are also other videos of different kinds of such incidents on my channel. Maybe you find these helpful as well.
Hi Mbmars01, thank you for the tip, I am subscribing to your channel this very minute. I appreciate your videos, especially that you take the time to write the "behind the scene" story to these railroad incidents; it really helps obsessive-compulsive railroad modelers (like yours truly) to replicate "real-life" conditions. Have a nice weekend, Ciao, L
lancelot1953 Thank you! I'm glad you like it this way. Yeah, it's fun to simulate rail operations. I particularly like yard jobs, could watch them switching cars forever. I'm certainly not one of the "obsessive" modelers. Eventually, a model is a model and as much as one wants to make it as realistic as possible, it is still a model in the end. Not everything can be "to scale," but I like if one can achieve a certain level of perfection at last.
Superb capture of the Empty Coal Train, and the stalled Mixed Freight train, with 5 locomotives, that was a surprise gift. :o)
Thank you! The 5-engine lash-up was indeed a very rare catch, as it existed in this composition only for 3 miles or so :)
Super rail movie! Beautiful images with trains! Good job! Thumbs Up
Greetings from Romaina
Andrew
Thanks! Good you enjoyed the video and greetings back to Romania! Be safe!
？
brilliant video interesting story line too cool to see how CSX uses another trains power to help a stalled train
+Scotty Many thanks! I'm glad you liked it.
+mbmars01 Doesn't CSX have back-up power in the next yard? What if no other train happens to be around?
OldSchool1500
Well, they have, but there is no yard near Elberton. Just today the same thing happened in Athens GA, where they actually have a small local engine. As expected it was not able to push the stalled train and they had to use power of a different train to pull the train over the hill. If no other train is around, they have to tie done on the main track and wait for another train to come and help.
Just discovered your channel. lovin the videos. Really like the way each one had a story. Great work!
Thank you very much. Enjoy watching!
I just found this channel today and enjoyed this video. Thank you very much for sharing it with us.
Gregory Phillips
I'm glad you like it. You're welcome and keep watching if you like. There's a lot more to discover on this channel :)
Awesome video. Not to many opportunities pop up like this that you can film.
+Shaun Chisholm Thank you - and you're perfectly right!
Anyone else see the cat at 1:37? 😹 purrfect touch for this setting/railroad
Aww so cute
I watch a lot of train videos and recently found your channel. Very interesting with a lot of good info about what is happening.
Cool, keep watching and enjoy the many videos on this channel!
Fantastic video dear Friend love it. God bless you.
Thank you. Good you enjoyed it!
@@mbmars01 Why don’t trains have led headlights?
another good job . we can tell you put a lot of effort in these videos.
thank you.
David K.
+David Kinsey Many thanks. It's true, it's a lot of work, but also mega fun. It's nice if this effort is appreciated by people like you who like to watch train videos.
Have you been hired to correct the grammar in every single comment?
Yeah,
Good job. 3 hours of work outside to catch all of this and then however much time afterwards to add the captions and edit anything. Good job.
Great video. After retiring, you help me keep running trains. I certainly enjoy your videos. Thanks 👍👍👍❤️
Awesome, keep watching!
Very cool. I like the tree branch on 820's plow haha.
+CSXAC4400CWno5112 Thanks! Haha, yes that was kinda late Christmas decoration, but well fitting to the environment I'd say. Wonder what the engine had run into to look like this.
Looks like he has been doing a little off-roading LOL
He is signalling, that he comes with peace ...
@@CXensation That's exactly what I was thinking. "Don't be spooked, 616. I'm here to help you!"
Interesting, lots of very close shots of engines. Middle engine of stalled train was smoking too much, maybe not running right. I see too much of CSX that tells me maybe they try to skimp on things like track repair, dirty engines, smoking engines to try and save money. UNP, BNSF rarely has dirty engines. Thanks for sharing.
It's true, particularly BNSF really takes care of their equipment. Santa Fe heritage... all the way!
That was a great story you shot there.
The Mty's look like a South Carolina Utilities train from Cross SC.
Thanks!
Cool video. Forgive me for being perplexed about being stuck Bc of snow? Lol. Thanks for sharing.
Not snow but ice. You’re welcome!
Ah that makes more sense. I didn’t even think of that 🤦♂️
Enjoyable video,noting like that in the UK.
Thanks so much!
Beautiful opening shot.
Thank you!
I know the perspective is compressed by the telephoto lens but that is one tricky piece of ROW. Very undulating easy to stall as well as pull the train apart trying to balance the short relatively steep grades. If it had snowed in Georgia those good old boys probably had no sand and weren't used to running on the slick rail under undulating conditions. They were set up by the Mechomical Dept !
HOLY REDUNDANCY ! sending one dirty nasty engine that maybe once upon a time could? perhaps I missed the part about CSX scheduling two for switching this day and one goes down so they tried.....
Very nicely done video! Thanks.
Cool, thanks. Great you enjoyed it!
Nice decoration in the head of 820 but where it is in 16:23? In 22:10 one can see a loose nail and rail movement...wonder how long it can hold without crack.
Yep, sometimes one wonders indeed.
At the end of the video, was that next southbound train sliding into the siding right behind the coal drag as it was leaving? If so, then he was also under a block restriction. Must have been a pretty busy day!
Such kind of emergency takes hours and back in those better days trains started piling up. That's why it looks like it got busier.
Nice catches of the trains.
Thanks!
mbmars01 Your welcome.
What's with the chunks of rail visible at 7:28? Are those leftovers from a repair?
That third engine from front seemed to be blowing alot working hard
Is that a derail switch at 7:22? A cool rescue and much power in a row! Great catch.
No, I don't think so. This wouldn't be on the main line. It's rather a remnant of a defunct switch with the branch pointing into that industrial area.
i hope trains stay on earth cause i love them i want to be a csx engineer
Well if they should move to the moon, you'll have to follow them ;)
I will pray for you to become something special
Excellent Job engineers yes baby need a new pair of shoes 10 4. Keep on Rollin God Bless you patriots
That must be a blizzard in Georgia
Sounds like CSX 217 has a ex CP horn on it! AWESOME VIDEO also!!!
I'm really not a horn expert, but love to hear them ;) - Thank you!
mbmars01 Ya im still learning the correct horns and engines.
+MrCsxtrain you're right. 217 has a sweet K3L on it....really awesome.
1:10 - now that's a nice looking loco.
Nice catch! Why two engines moving so slowly? Afraid they will slide into the stalled train by the time it is seen?
Why horn repeated at 8:00?
Since there is a train in emergency in the same block, these engines have speed restrictions. I don't know the rule by heart, but they were certainly not permitted to go faster than 10mph.
mbmars01 Thank you. I do not understand why they must move so slowly unless it is the possibility of being surprised with a train around the bend and unable to stop before hitting it.
Well, it's a general rule which certainly has been implemented because, indeed, whenever there's a train in emergency you never know what to expect happening next. In this case it might look overcautious, but safety comes first.
+Robert Gift kejekdke9diekdkdkdiidid
FRA rules are two long blows, one short one, and a final long one at all crossings unless there's a local ordinance restricting horns.
thanks to the video, but please explain abbreviations
You're welcome! Yep, nowadays I avoid using abbreviations.
great video!! and holy crap, how many cars on the coal train??
Thanks! Typically 110-130 cars.
Great footage. Thanks!
Cool, thanks.
good ol southern talk on that scanner
Yep!
Interesting view at 1:58. I know long lenses can exaggerate things, but perhaps it's not so surprising when derailments occur ...
It all depends on the condition of the track and the speeds.
Good video. Very interesting, thank you.
Thank you! Great you liked watching it :)
I LOVE Your videos
Good!
very good video thanks
Great you like it!
bad air leak between the second locomotive and first car
Why did that train stall out
I suppose because of ice on the upgrade track.
Great video! Look very closely to CSX 7681 on the side of cab you where on , its in very small yellow letters.
+AL Rail Productions You mean the "Spirit of Louisville"? It's so small I didn't even notice it when editing the video. Thanks for pointing me to it.
your welcome

Great, thank you!
Friend of mine up in Elberton told me a little while back they got some snow. She tells me they have white hummingbirds too. I tell her she smokes too much of that chicken poop up there. lol
It can happen!
Around the 8:00 mark, it looks like there is a de-rail on the main. Am I seeing this right? If so, do you know the purpose of this? Thanks
+Preston Spinks There is a storage track and it has a derail.
I ❤️ the sound of the bell 🛎
I like train videos on you tube😀
Very cool!
The engineers don't wave from the trains anymore, not like they did back in 1954.
Enjoyed the video
Cool, great you liked it.
5:11 It looks like the "hero"'s wreath on 820's front knuckle. Here I come to save the day!
Lol
I don't think the 3ed engine was running. Maybe a mechanical issue.

youtube: wanna see more of problem child from 2016
me:heck yeah
Lol, here we go :) I have never counted the Q616 problem videos on this channel, but there are quite a few.
@@mbmars01 lol the ones ive seen youtube just recommended :) i enjoy your videos problem ones or not
Yeah, I know. I would appreciate if YT would recommend the other videos as much, but many people just want to watch disasters and YT just feeds the monkey :/ Thanks; I know you've already been here for some time. Great you have fun with this channel :)
mbmars01 its based off what you like. I like all your videos good or bad and itll reccomend that to me good or bad
mbmars01 so example u clicked the like button on my lcpdfr video that will recommend other lcdpfr videos as elel
That’s my home town, Elberton GA. I am going to be a license ham operator. What radio frequency is this?
Cool. The frequencies are 160.290 MHz for the dispatcher channel and 161.100 MHz for the road channel. An ordinary scanner that covers the range 160-161 MHz assigned to railroads is sufficient. One doesn't need to be a HAM operator for this, as no-one other than railroad personnel is permitted to talk on these channels anyways.
All right. Is this the Athens yard? And how strong is your antenna? Also, where are you located? Just to make sure.
why was 820/217 going so slow to make the hook up? How many of the five power unit that was hooked to Q616 was working after the hook up? will 820/217 try and make up the lost time or will it just travel at it assigned speed and be late? I didn't realize 802/217 was the lead power units for another train when they helped the stalled train. thanks for a very good video.
If a train is in emergency, train or power movements in the same block are bound to speed restrictions. I don't remember the details anymore.
When a train stalls and other power is ordered in to assist he has presuming this is centralized traffic control a restricted signal leaving the passing siding he was sitting in. A restricted signal allows you to proceed ready to stop in one half the distance you can see looking out for anything that could be wrong not exceeding 15 mph. Now if the stalled train is 8 miles away that's roughly 35-40 minutes just to arrive at the train. I've done this many times in my career as an engineer and it's not something you rush. Now once he's tied onto the stalled train and gotten under way he still can't exceed restricted speed until he passes a signal showing a better signal indication then and only then can he proceed faster than 15 mph.
4:57 why is there a branch stuck on the coupler?
You call that SNOW? Looks more like a heavy frost to those of us that live in snow Country!
Well, I know... Lol
Fun seeing snow there! Why did engines not push? Cause of stall? Dummies place the horns on the engine where sound will be obstructed by thengine. Brilliant.
What is the yellow lightning bolt for under the trains numbers?
I think it's sole purpose is decoration.
Classic rock and roll yellow lightning bolt means it's an a.c. traction unit as opposed to d.c.
"New AC-traction locomotive deliveries had lightning bolts painted just below or on either side of the unit's number on the cab, signifying AC traction. The lightning bolt tradition carries on to the modern day on CSX." For good info on CSX see locomotive.wikia.com/wiki/CSX_Transportation
@@mbmars01 I always thought it meant it was radio equipped. 😂 I learned something new today. 👍🇺🇸
Wow they were really goin slow to go help the other train, must have taken hours.
Do they have a “carwash” for train engines ?
They did in the Alston/Brighton yard outside of Boston.
This is from a kid in Waterloo with an old man's body and a flashlight I love listening to see the trains come through y'all keep calling it and lowering them horns bye
Haha, awesome :) Keep it up.
i saw 4 csx autorack trains in 3 hours behind the gwinnett airport
Wow!
I guess precision rail's calculator for HP needed was wrong!
This happened before PSR.
Whats up man? To scared to walk down the tracks some?
Why did you change the blasted camera? I was counting the cars!
Lol, sorry. I like to change perspectives. Single-angle shots are boring. Q616 had typically between 150 and 200 cars. He was abolished two years ago.
Seems to me the ole two-one-seven could use some time in the paint booth.😂🇺🇸
Q616 with a RRRX!
It snowed I Rember that I was driving down to work and I saw the Q616-22 I got Backed up for miles and I couldn't get to work and I called into my boss and said I cant make it. I knew you would be around filming and so I said Go Check out Mbmars01's vid [1u] Full Story of CSX E148-21 Helping Stalled Q616-22, Elberton GA, 01/23/2016
That’s a funny story. I hope the video convinced your boss 😀
Lol Wrong kind of snow lol
What subdivision is this on?
CSX Abbeville Sub, Atlanta, GA - Abbeville, SC.
i live neerby and snow is vary rare
Sporting camouflage on the coupler :-)
Just like Sand patch the 353 was stalling but that was 1992
Thats for the video

Trains can actually turn faster than cars. Turntables!
Right, but there aren't many turntables anymore.
Where are the turn tables keep at
Bel video, e lunghissimo train. Puoi vedere i miei filmati di train Italiani. Saluti
Yes, trains are typically longer here than in Europe. You've got nice trains, too, in Italy. I've already traveled on some! :)
@@mbmars01 grazie 👍🖐
22:39 chessie hopper! i know that color of hopper anywhere!
The Americans love their horns. Trains are run perfectly safely everywhere else in the world with out this obsession. Yet for some strange reason in America they need to blow their horns every 30 seconds.
We LOVE our horns! 😂
With how many horns we sound, there's no way anyone nearby will treat it as background noise. Several tons of moving steel is not something to be lightly dismissed, especially if you're nearby.
They have to sound the horns prior to any grade crossing to warn cars. But cars still get hit on a regular basis, because they ignore the train.
I live in front of a rail line used for electrified metropolitan passenger trains and diesel freight trains. They blow their horns almost as much as this, they blow it as they pass a crossing or station. Interestingly the freight trains don't seem to blow at night even though they run at night.
@@mbmars01 zz
Is it just me or does Q616 seem kinda cursed, considering the number of vids of it having a bad time you've uploaded?
The train caused trouble on a daily basis. It was almost always way too long and the power was not well distributed. It was abolished in 2017.
Didn't see T.the T.E helping out
I see a BIG no no....
Where? What?
The reason why 616 lied dead like it did was the reason I thought it would PTC issues cause hear where I'm from Alot of those Dash 8 like that won that was trailing on 616 has it an when the PTC issuse start it start from a dash 8 an everything is affected from that won locomotive
Enjoyable video but maybe the message here is The train's too long.
Thanks. Lol, I have to agree!
From what I can tell the first AC and the dash 8 are both online and giving her hell. I don't think the 3rd engine was running.
Andrew Storey that's not it I've seen trains longer than that they don't stall
