Massive CSX Freight Train Power Climbs Steep Grade in Notch-8!

#csxtrains #notch8 #locomotives
This is a short clip of a heavily powered CSX mixed freight train symboled Cue 316, seen here climbing the steep grades of CSX's formidable Mountain Sub deep in the hills of northern WV. Screenshot taken at one of the highest peaks on the Mountain Sub in Terra Alta WV as the "mighty GEs" scream in notch-8!

[@8thnotchjoe2000]

That was notch 7. But good catch. He WAS at 8 approaching the summit right before he started blowing the horn but throttled down one notch

[@ALPTrainVideos]

Yeah and thanks.

[@CNTrains]

Nice catch of all those units! I see a rare bird in there was is the 45 looking engine? Looks new!

[@sam-sh2hc]

Where?

[@ALPTrainVideos]

SD40E3 was what you saw and thanks!

[@AMPProductionsVideo]

Very nice Videos!

Thanks!

[@robertolopessoares3128]

Very Nice vídeo! I like trains! Tooop! Congrats! Thank you so much!

[@ALPTrainVideos]

Thanks for watching.

[@AndreiTupolev]

Clearly a power move, it sounded like only the leading three or four were actually running. Probably transferring locos from one yard to another.
Funny, all those engines and it still maintains CSX' tradition of being underpowered! 😀

[@ALPTrainVideos]

Yep. I don't think they're allowed to turn on one of the units in transit. The E3 was definitely heading back to Philly, the two sets of geeps were probably headed back to Brunswick.

[@pappycandoit4405]

Good Video

[@ALPTrainVideos]

Thanks!

[@TheMetGuy]

Seeing trains with many locomotives up front is awesome

[@ALPTrainVideos]

Agreed!

[@angelinenava4378]

Lovely I love it

Csx gave me a rare railroad spike that goes in a switch

[@ALPTrainVideos]

Nice!

[@denigm5500]

Good

[@JohnnysTrainVideos]

Wow... Nice catch. Every thing but the kitchen sink locomotive wise.

[@ALPTrainVideos]

Thanks and yes lol.

[@robertolopessoares3128]

Hello!

[@TheMetGuy]

That is quite a lot of engines

[@ALPTrainVideos]

In deed.

[@bloopbloop9687]

Do you know what grade that is? I've never seen so many locomotives together like that, I typically only see that at most 4 at a time

[@richardturk7162]

Wow 11 engines

[@mikelukash8789]

Great video but your title should say descends steep grade in DB 8 grade those engines were in dynamic braking . You can here the wine of the fan motors as they pass by and only the first 4 were on line the rest were dead in tow sorry for being captain literal but all in all a awesome video 👍

[@ALPTrainVideos]

They were just kicking in for the decent. Were I was standing is the very top of the grade then the sharp ride down starts lol.

[@danielcreed2328]

Freight cars: Hold back! Hold back!

[@ALPTrainVideos]

Lol.

[@andrewcrane2786]

Damn 11 locomotives pulling less cars those I never seen that many locomotives pulling cars. I live in Baltimore md csx runs here. I see at least 3 locomotives pulling cars

[@joshelder562]

Most of them are probably being moved to storage or something.

[@andrewcrane2786]

@@joshelder562 maybe that probably the reason why its was 11 locomotives

[@ALPTrainVideos]

Huntington to Cumberland move!

[@1999fxdx]

Sounds like dynamic brakes were set on 1st train

[@ALPTrainVideos]

yeah.

[@loiswallace3334]

Would have been a better video if it was recorded away from a grade crossing so the train is unlikely to sound it's horn. Plus clanging of the crossing bells is distracting.
Ideal video would be just the sound of the prime movers and moving rail cars, no horn, no bell, nothing else.

[@JasonWagus]

She came over that hill like a snake

[@ALPTrainVideos]

yup!

Thanks!

[@davidb5952]

11 locomotives??? Wonder if they just needed to get some to another location. Seemed like they were not all making power.

[@ALPTrainVideos]

Yeah 4 of these engines are going to comberland for distribution, the SS40E3 was slickly getting dropped for a ride back to conrail shares assets.

[@craigd2599]

11 power units altogether??

[@ALPTrainVideos]

it's more like 3 as the others are dead in tow but still a nice show none the less.

[@Phantom-Signal]

Funeral train or power move?

[@ALPTrainVideos]

Power move from Huntington to Cumberland.

[@alexwebb5232]

I heard only 2 GE motors running in that whole consist.

[@220us]

I concur. I’ve always thought a coupler would only take about 25000 hp before it broke.

[@ALPTrainVideos]

You head what you wanted to hear lol.

[@ALPTrainVideos]

Mike this freight was mostly empty, rather short too. But surprised it took the amount of tractive effect it did to reach the sommite.

[@rustyrailspikeproductions]

Just gonna notch 8 it.

[@ALPTrainVideos]

Lol yep.

[@thelongislandplanesandtrai3638]

NGL csx is cheep becuse 911 is a YN3 now and the heritage units are just stickers really csx get good heritage units

[@ALPTrainVideos]

Didn't know they repainted 911 already.
