We would like to thank Micah Turner for his help in making this video of the spirit of law enforcement CSX train being loaded at Mary Helen Kentucky. Check Micah out at youtube.com/@railfanmicahturner
I was born and raised in Kentucky. My Dad worked in coal mines all of his life. I think it is great that the law enforcement train is hauling the coal from the state that I am from. I wish I could have been there to see it in person. Thank you for sharing.
As a retired policeman who worked in a mill for 4 years prior to law enforcement and STILL maintains my Ohio High Pressure Steam Boiler Operator license, I appreciate this video. I burned Kentucky coal every day. Coal and the railroad built America! God bless coal, God bless Law Enforcement and Public Safety and GOD BLESS AMERICA!❤
Hopefully we get a Biden replacement and undo all the insane orders he put through. We need to get the coal and oil industry producing for America and don't worry about the fake "Climate Change" threat. Cheers to you Whitney. I'm retired USAF, 35 years. Bob
I live in Perry County Ky and loading coal trains is nothing unusual here. I, at one time, worked for Whitaker Coal and loaded the coal cars using something I put together at the loadout that made it easy. I used a Tandy Color Computer to control the coal loading using of all things, a joystick. I wrote the programming for the custom ROM pack that controlled everything. It worked very well and trouble free until the loadout was refurbished around 2010. I still have that very computer to this day.Yes it still fires up in a few seconds. Those were tough Little machines. Just used compressed air to clear out the coal dust. BTW I am a retired Deputy Sheriff. The KSP around here (Post 13) are all good guys and know first hand what life is like in the Mountains. They know the people
@@scottwilkes3705 LOL i have burned wet and frozen coal many times in the past they wash coal all the time an often the bags are dripping coming from the breakers
@@ClassXIRoads I guess you just taught me something then cause all I've ever dealt with was mainly wood and charcoal. I've never had to deal with coal to where I'd know whether it's effected by moisture or if it will burn wet but I know wood won't just light and burn if it's wet unless you throw it on a fire that's already blazing
@@galewinds7696 Of course it will heat a home, I live in New Hampshire and have burnt coal for years I burn 4 ton a year and keep my home at 70 even when it is 20 below zero outside. why would you think that you can't heat with coal?
@@galewinds7696 My error, thought ment you didn't think it would make enough heat, well I could heat for 25 years on one car so might need to order two or three, gonna need a bigger bin...lol
A great boost for law enforcement for them to see that unit. We had the trooper on the train setup on the UP and it was a blast to take them on a ride.😎
Thanks for the video! Those whom have never seen a cosl trson close up, or a coal tipple, or coal mine have no ideal what their missing!!😮😊. My father and his brother worked the strip mines in southern Ohio. My father in law the shallow mines in Ky. My husband and his uncle, the deep mines in W.Va., Island Creek Coal Co. May God protect all of them!!!!
Good video. Retired from a coal and steel hauling railroad in 2000. Each one of those coal hoppers weigh around 100 tons loaded. A hundred car coal train weighs 10,000 tons. That's a whole lot of weight either pushing or pulling on those two locomotives.
One hundred tonnes for just 1 hopper car that's mad to think of i love stuff like this mate , especially wen someone like you saz the weight of tonnes of trains and the specification of them, godbless you , from across the pond Manchester england, all the best
Nicely arranged photos at the end of the video virtually calendar Worthy. Also many thanks for showing the old commissary building I had seen several other mine buildings near Bluefield WV and Williamson WV that were memories of a better time.
Been there a few times. Most every time I loaded my coal trailer in that area I never once met a bad state cop or DOT officer. They understood how rough it was to make a living hauling coal and if you were a bit over the weight limit they would let it slide.
My mother in law and father in law were from Auxier Kentucky. A coal mining camp town. They lived hard but clean. They moved to Ohio, maybe 1967. I get excited when I see coal cars around here. 😊😊 Have a great day and thank you for sharing this.
I used to load coal when I was a 13-year-old, three buckets a day, seven days a week for 5 English shillings pocket money. This was the late 1950s and I got so good at shoveling, I got a job building railroad tunnels under London, even traveled to Sarnia, Ont to help build the CN railroad tunnel under the St Clair River. Packed it all in after working on Kuala Lumper Metro tunnels in Malaysia in 2014. Retired to Vietnam just down the road from some other tunnels. My coal had big lumps in it, that stuff you filmed looked like power station fuel, great for making power for them there clean EV's. Thanks for posting.
I was born in Harlan and my Parents, Grandparents were from there as well. My Grandmother was Mable Collins, the Sports writer at the Harlan daily newspaper. My other Grandmother lived just above Harlan in Closplint and was the Postmaster. Thanks for sharing. T
Those GE units have a nice sound, they got a government grant back in the mid 80s to develop a locomotive that used a coal slurry as fuel. It worked but deposits left to foul the system up so the experiment ended. Natural gas worked well for Burlington Northern units as they have alot of gas well holdings along their railways.
Reminded me a bit of one of my cousins , he is from Jonesville, VA, went to Richmond to become a state police officer, and retired from the state police out of Radford Va . Thanks for your service, Jimmy Bledsoe !
We in Florida salute CSX for making this Tribute to Law Enforcement. I respect our men & women in Blue, Green, and whatever uniform you wear. This includes you Security Officers and Guards also. Happy Trails
I've been away from my corner of Appalachia long enough I heard you saying Murray Hillen. It's good the hear the familiar accent again. Thanks for you videos.
Thank you for this video. As someone who likes trains, has much respect for the hardworking people that help to literally keep the lights on and law enforcement this is great stuff. It’s nice to see a locomotive painted to honor the professionals in law enforcement. Crazy to think many big city police departments and politicians prohibit their own officers from expressing any form of recognition as it relates to liking their job.
Hi Ignited! (1) Very cool to see The Spirit of Law Enforcement Locomotive in Harlan. (2) Glad to see there’s still some coal coming out of the Eastern Kentucky hills. God’s blessings to you, Mrs Coyote and all your family. Have a great day!
Those Troopers wear the bast cover, The Smokey!" Our cover in NM isn't as good looking. Bring that NS Loco to SE NM. I'd love to take a picture standing on it!!! 🖤💙🖤
@@IgnitedCoyote Come on over. I'm from NE NM but live in SE NM. North Central NM has beautiful mountains, lakes, and rivers. Carlsbad NM has the Caverns and Alamogordo has White Sands
Great catch of the CSX Law Enforcement locomotive getting loaded with coal! That was awesome to see one of the State Troopers getting his pic taken aboard CSX 3194! I'm a new subscriber of your channel and really enjoyed this video! Thanks for sharing this video along with your PRICELESS time and effort! Im also ordering a couple stickers for my railroad room I'm creating in our new home. Cheers from Laurel, Delaware USA.
I live in Central Maryland but been to Central Kentucky (Danville and Hustonville) and fell in love with the State. I want to visit Pikeville and Prestonsburg since I'm a huge fan of Dwight Yoakam.
That's where I used to Live and work many many years ago in Harlan Kentucky coal mines hauling trucking bucket's , beautiful beautiful scenery mountains. Down in the sticks in the holler
Incredible a train painted blue with the Thin Blue Line American flag on it’s windows and there’s the spirit of lawn Forssman wrote on it, and honoring our law enforcement
The reason for the loud squealing sound is because they are holding the brake as they slowly move forward so the coal cars can be filled. It would do that even if it was empty if they were doing the same thing.
You may want to check out this video we did at the church a couple years ago, towards the end of the video we walk into the cemetery, here's a link th-cam.com/video/3RN9QJyOHCs/w-d-xo.html
Excellent video you should send this to all law inforcement departments in the country I'm sertinley most would appreciate it. I believe most don't know about this train I came across it by browsing. Now what really causes myself to respond respectfully being honest I believe this lady is your wife. But if she has a twin which she does by my watching this video is very true everyone has a look alike! And I found one . Your girl in the video and I got out photos, and compared, blew my mind! A dead ringer to my sister age 53. Unremarkable hair built cheaks bone structure even her voice! I'm just overwhelmed by this sending this CHANNEL out to my family to view all I know is WOW!!!👍🏻
@@IgnitedCoyote a splitting image unremarkable features just stunned I'm speechless in awe holy cow there a reason I cam across your channel speechless just speechless 🙏🏻😇
Pretty much like the most of the comments are actual people from Eastern Kentucky, I too am from Johnson County Kentucky ! My grandpa and my uncle were both coal mining statistics...lost my Grandpa back in '93 to the blacklung, and lost my uncle in 2020 due to an accident changing a catapillar 992 tire up in Pikeville Kentucky !! Coal mining is a dangerous occupation but those who done it were "Kentucky proud" !! Excellent video my friend !!
There's a coal fired power plant in northern Kentucky on the Ohio river that has a humongous coal pile next to it. I don't know if it's delivered by train or barge, but the pile is about a quarter mile long and a couple hundred yards wide and maybe a hundred feet tall.. That is a cool train.
Being from Ohio, I am glad to see coal still being produced in Harlan. Sadly, the powers that be want to go to nuclear (we know how well that worked out the last time), solar, and wind. That's all well and wonderful, but most of the equipment comes from China, where the coal comes from the USA. Not only that but their argument is that coal causes more polution than any other fuel, but what we do not use will go overseas anyway. and we know they could care less about pollution. So what did we accomplish?
My family lived in Harlan…I spent a lot of time there as a kid…I have a son-in-law who is from there and that is where him, my daughter and their kids live.
I worked at that location in 2006-2008 for Coal Good Coal Co a division of Massey Energy, the buildings as I remember where in much better condition at that time thx for the video
Everyone forgets Military Police Army and Marine Corps, Shore Patrol Navy and Security Forces Air Force. A lot of of my brothers and sisters are with Blue now. I retired with 29 years from Military Police
I saw a loaded coal train with TVAX hoppers going north bound in Robards, KY(Western KY), just a few days ago. That’s the only loaded coal train I’ve seen going northbound since I’ve lived here in almost five years. They must have loaded at Madisonville. Normally the loaded coal coming passed my house comes out of Princeton, IN or southern IL and goes south to FL or GA. I’m not sure where they were taking it. Also, I used to work at in chemical plant in Henderson, KY and CSX would switch the tank cars with the brakes on, you talk about squealing and squalling…

One car of that train would heat my home the rest of my and my childrens lives, coal heat is real heat
#jameshurlbut the only thing would be having you a storage bin big enough to store that much coal in so it would be in out of the weather

Great video. Thank you and your sweety Sir.
They should add police lights to the roof of the cab and the sides of the locomotive 😏
That's funny. They would never hit any automobiles at crossings.
