Nice catch! I was hoping this train would be a better size, since we had somehow got lucky to get good sized 243s and 237s with special units or very rare foreign power. But, it wasn't the case this time.
Thanks Josh. I don’t think 243 will ever grow in size until the completion of this intermodal rail terminal in Charleston. It’s being built on an old navy base, and supposedly CSX will have access as well. Right now it’s slated to open some time mid to late next year.
@anscrailfanner6812 You're welcome. I'm hoping that will be the case for 242 as well. Don't you think that's a bit weird 243 was a good size back in the day, and now it has to rely on a new terminal to get back to normal again?
@@joshpack7330 It’s a variety of things contributing to 243’s reduction in size, but the main things I believe are PSR and our leaders we’ve had in office as of late. Both political parties haven’t been good for anyone. Neither has truly been FOR the people, as they’re just catering to big business aka “the rich.”
Hey I think it was you who was talking about trying to get a scanner feed for the Greenville District going. I've been thinking about it a lot and the best I can think up is this. I do rail photography and can provide the photos for a calendar or any other form to sell to make some money for this effort.
Those are my 12 best heritage unit shots for this year. I can donate the photography. It would have to be a print on demand type thing with drop shipping. I don't want to handle any money on this. I can provide the photos. So if you're interested, this is what I can do to help
@@CarolinaRailFanRoadTripper I appreciate the offer. I’m not actually the one who’s trying to get the Greenville area radio feed started up, as it’s more so a group of volunteers who have their own site, taking care of that. I’m just donating a bit each month to contribute. Here’s their link: carolinarailfanning.com/about

@@anscrailfanner6812 Agreed. I'm really not that certain if that new terminal will increase the size, but we shall see.

The link to my photography website got deleted.
I put my photography site in the 'description' of my channel. Hopefully you can find the link there.
