- Oh, CSX! Almost every time I went railfanning on the Abbeville Subdivision recently, a train stalled at one of the numerous grades along this line. This time, fate met CSX R667-11 at Bogart Hill between MP 512 and MP 514 in the afternoon. It was first tried to use a small local engine to push, but this didn't work. Then, the engines of Q676, which waited at Harper Siding a few miles to the south, were called in to help pull. These processes consumed so much time that it had already gotten dark. I don't know how the story ended, but it seemed that hours after I had left they were still busy to get the train moved. Besides R667-11, the video features manifests CSX Q614-12 with three UP engines, and CSX S616-11. [© 2016 MBMARS Productions. Exclusive rights for TH-cam channel "mbmars01" only.]

Great catch. If CSX wants to run those longer trains, they need to have DPU power in the middle and the tail end of their trains.
+Jon Pendarvis Thanks. Haha, please tell them!
@@mbmars01 Oddly enough DPU have started to show up in myneck of the woods N.C.
Ah, natural selection at its finest!
someone please tell those kids that's a dangerous game they are playing at the beginning of this video....
+Wolf Williams Perfectly agree!!
Unfortunately you can't fix stupid
Wolf Williams ah, they're absolutely fine.
What do you expect when people want to be Darwin Award winners.
@@mbmars01 There will learn when one of them trips.And ends up with one less leg or arm.Or dead!!
Sweet catch! They should have known the train needed more locomotives.
+BNSFguy 617 Thanks. Haha, I think the same all the time when this happens!
Freakin A, man, when is CSX going to learn that 12,000 hp simply is not enough for these long ass trains?
Nice catch! Love the UP trains!
Cool, thanks!
Hey just wanted to say I love your videos and you do a good job
Thanks so much! I appreciate it.
At 13:18 trains are so fascinating even the deer waits for it
I'm always worried about animals on or near tracks when a train is approaching. Often they make the wrong decision...
Those SD70Ms are becoming hard to find Even on the UP
This is unfortunate.
5:07 rock island hopper with no graffiti? wow
I never got a chance to see a UP on that subdivision. Great catch!!
Thanks!

In watching this video at 8:34 R667 begins to stall out and from there it starts slowing down. CSX sure did not have as much traffic with this King of the Road.
Q667 and Q616 were always troublemakers on this line, but they were abolished in 2017 after CSX introduced PSR and closed the hump yards in Atlanta and Hamlet, NC.
CSX needs to Realize that 1 Gevo and 2 SD40-2s are not gonna cut it on Power! You gotts use the Big Boy Engines. Keep The SD40s to Local and Yard work and off the Main Line. You also gotta have a lot more power also. 3 engines is never enough for these long 6,000-8,000 ft. Long trains. It's ridiculous.
Maybe Helper service on Sand patch
Enjoyed this video ☺️
Great!
why didnt you do a second part to this video?i wanted to see it man.now i wont get to see it.
+danny haley I remember that it got dark and CSX isn't the fastest in getting things rolling again.
Defect detection must be using a short length of track circuit to determine the passing of the whole train before delivery of final report, right?
I do not exactly how they do it at the DD, but what you describe is plausible. That's how they operate the crossing signals and gates.
awesome catch i think its interesting when trains stall like that u think the dispatchers would kno better lol
+zippa .way Well, by now they should know, indeed.
An excellent video. ♡ T.E.N.
Thanks so much!
This seems like a very irresponsible way to run a railroad. The dispatcher knows the load and the route and should know how much horsepower it takes to do the job. I would be a very pissed motorist if my road was blocked by a stalled train because someone didn't do their job right.
There was indeed a time when I thought exactly the same. Some of those responsible behind their desks had no clue about the special features of this line. Things have improved, though, and there haven’t been more than the usual emergencies recently as far as I can tell.
Almost a 2 mile long train with only 3 locos on the point! Come on!!! 🤦♂️
That's not unheard of here.
the wings on the UP logo look like a mustache
Lol :)
They sure can use some more sd70ace's
That's a sloppy train master, in my opinion. It wouldn't hurt him to put another unit on there someplace.
+Justanoldguy '46 Well, I don't know which problems they had. There was also trouble with the EOT device and possibly other things. It seems that additional engines only didn't solve their problems and it obviously simply took some time to figure out the issues. There are no heavy units in Athens, so they always take what they can get from trains nearby.
+mbmars01 nice video I like how 564 had black number boards.
Those rails bend like putty……are they supposed to?
Yes, some bending of rails is indeed desirable.
Shucks,why so many stalling & breaking/breakdwons.
Yeah, but with PSR and fewer trains, these mishaps happen more rarely nowadays.
cool video
Thanks!
your welcome
like these folk comment and on other "stall-out" videos - I don't get it. I lived next door to a Burlington engineer. Stalled trains is lost revenue. Folks have been calculating train load/grade and loco power needs for decades. Stalling a train should cost someone their position, as they are clearly inept! This seems to be actually not uncommon. Sheesh!
Well, there can be different reasons for why a train stalls. One is, like you mentioned, that the train is underpowered to begin with, but it can also be a matter of train handling by the engineer and the dispatcher. An engine could cut out because of a defect, leaving the train with insufficient power and traction. Weather and overall rail condition are other factors. The only option would be to add redundant power, which, under normal operating conditions, would not be needed. This is very costly, too, and most railroads avoid adding extra power, except for their most important high-priority trains.
Those tracks look like they were made in China
