- This wasn't the day of the CSX on the Abbeville Sub. Heavy rain that made wheels slip at grades had led to delays from the morning on, causing a congestion of due southbounds. Conflicting northbounds, switch work in Athens GA, and recrewing necessary due to the delays made this a difficult job for CSX operations, but doubtless an interesting railfanning day. Eight trains showed up in short succession: Q614, A790, Q210, Q667, Q675, Q662, K661, and Q619. At the end of the day, in almost every siding sat a tied down train waiting for a new crew.

I do appreciate your risking your health in the rain to make these great catches for all to watch in more comfortable circumstances. Does the crew just lock up the engine and leave? Do they use card locks?
Thanks! Well, we are not (exclusively) made of sugar, so rain is not a risk to health and can be quite refreshing at times down here! Yeah, as to tying down a train, it's more or less like you said. What kind of locks and keys they have, I don't know, though.
You had a very interesting Rail Fan experience with all those trains. Superb captures every time with your video's. :o)
+Larry R Wendell Jr Absolutely! But it's only fun if they move, of course.
Wow, Two KCS engines taking a CSX train. Lucky you!!!
+Jon Guiot Yes, it was certainly a nice catch, but I wished I would have seen them moving. However, K661 goes through there more regularly, so I hope for another chance.
Nice I loved listening to the Lady train Dispatcher it was as though I was Track Side.
Thank you very much since I can do those thing's Wonderful Video's
I'm glad you like watching them! Keep it up.
Hallo mbmars 01 .Das war Absolut Spitze , der Zug auf der Stahlkastenbrücke . Dann die Nahaufnahmen von den Lokdrehgestellen mit den ganzen Feinheiten . Die Gondola wagen leicht durchgebogen .Und immer wieder Funksprüche,eine sehr gute Leistung !
+Werner Sievers Great that you were happy about this one, too!
Outstanding work on these trains. Your videos are so awesome to watch. I subscribed to your channel just to watch all the trains that I would normally see coming down the old Clinchfield and Charlotte Subs into and out of Hamlet. Have you thought of making DVDs of your videos? I would gladly purchase them. Again, GREAT work and videography!!!!!!!
+Darrell Twitty Thank you so much for your supportive comment. I haven't yet thought of making DVDs. Nice idea, but most of my vids are on youtube anyway - and already there in Full HD quality. The Abbeville playlist contains more than 100 videos. I'm really sorry about the Clinchfield and Charlotte Subs. If CSX was to close the Abbeville Sub, my activity would come to an immediate end, because all other lines are too far away for continued coverage. But even the Abbeville is unpredictable; yesterday it was great, today rather lousy - only one long-distance train between sunrise and sunset!
+mbmars01 Knowing that all these trains come through Monroe, I have got to get ATCS loaded on my laptop so I can head down that way. Being only an hour away isn't so bad and I know that area pretty well. I've caught Q194/195 at Monroe Yard doing their usual run around to get into and out of Charlotte.
+Darrell Twitty ATCS was great on the Abbeville, too. Unfortunately, when CSX modernized their signal system, we were thrown back to old-fashioned scanners as the primary resource of information. So, finding the trains has become more challenging again.
Have you given any more thought about dvd's and IF SO. How Much would they cost $ $
I was just wondering leave me a my Facebook site cause site
My office is close to the corner of Glenn Carrie Rd in hull,I can see the trains from my driveway
Cool.
at 3:45 to 50 that's a good train Horn CSX transportation
Very nice video, thanks for sharing!
+Jean-Claude St-Yves Many thanks, glad you liked it.
Always rains when you have a day off and want to watch trains. Nice work, Subbed your Channel
+Coleman Place Thank you! And you are right, of course!
Those 6 axle tank cars are really neat.
Absolutely!
Nice catches!
+Donald Conklin Thank you!
You're welcome!
Don Conklin e
That D&H hopper. wow.
nice job very informative
+vaughn shafer Thank you!
how long did it take for a crew to get the K train and was it blocking any crossings
That's been a while that I shot this video. So I don't remember it in this case. It typically depends on whether or not replacement crews are available and how long it takes to bring them in. It can take an entire night but sometimes crews also change "by handshaking".
Who was the engineer in 3290 when he leaned out he had on a nice bright Green shirt
On !
Lol
rain not stopping you from making youtube vids XD
Haha, but not that I necessarily need it :)
why do you cut part of the trains out, it seems like everyone dose it they take the video of the train but leave half the train out, still a good video though.
+justis baker I'd think in those cases where I film the same train at different locations, most or all cars can be seen in the movie. However, showing a unit train of grain cars, tank cars, or hoppers completely can be a bit boring for most people. I try to avoid cuts, and normally cut only if there are, say 10 grain cars in a row. Then I may only show the first one or two. Many of my videos are already rather long and would be even longer without such cuts.
how far is this from dawsonville georgia?
All spots are near Athens GA. You'll find it on google maps.
Why would a local need such big power? I would expect jeeps on a local
Geeps*
+Adderall vs They simply take what they have available, I guess.
I would not want that dispr's job on this snake bitten subdivision.
Haha, well at times it's how you called it!
