This is actually very rare hearing this much horn in Ashland because it’s a “no horn zone” but I’m sure since it’s train day and the fact that there were so many people crowding the tracks, the engineers really didn’t care about the rules.
CSX lifts the "no horn" policy for a few days a year in Ashland, including train day. Trains actually have a special order to use lots of horn on this day.
7:11 they’re waving at inanimate objects, train cars!
Wow looked like an amazing day with 21 trains! Gotta love hearing the horns in a quiet zone and nice catch of 156! Thanks for sharing.
Awesome video! FUN DAYS for Ashland Railroad Fans!! Thank you sharing this great celebration with ASHLAND and for sharing… 🤗😁
I love the Intro.
Thanks!
Awesome video, Carter! We sure had a lot of fun yesterday!
+CottonBeltSD40T yeah it was neat. Thanks for showing up!
Awesome catches Carter!! No shortage of horn usage on this day :D
+Railfan1981 yeah gotta love the hornshows. Thanks for watching.
My god! i just had a blast with you and the other railfans! It was nice to meet all of you who showed up to ashland train day! until next year! Virginia Signing off!
+Virginia Railfan Productions yeah it was fun. Thanks for coming!
Loved the hornshow from Q140
That would have been me as well, but I would have done a few shave and a hair cut and jingle bells salutes in to that!
Man, that was some great action and looked to be an awesome day! I'd say my favs were P088 with P42DC 10 leadin with that phenomenal K5LA (Brings back memories when all of Amtrak's K5's sounded good lol), Q301 with that killer hornshow, P194 with 113 had a great K5LA (I loled when I saw that paper sign in the window when it departed xD), P089 with 156 leading with killer horn action (I could've gotten that same train but I got it leading 89/90 a couple weeks prior so I didn't bother getting it again), Q439 with 3 YN2 AC44CW's trailing that one ET44AH (THAT IS INSANE AND RARE!), Q140 with killer horntaps and killer click valve action as it passed by you :D, that meet with P079 and Q416 and Q416 with that killer lashup, that big E752, Q410 with that fouled horn which sounded like a K5H and that Ex-Conrail SD60M trailing 2nd out of 4, Q031 with that Trash 8 haha, P053 was certainly moving, especially Q354, and lastly Q438! Certainly an epic day for you! I hope you don't mind checking out my new video. Not the one from yesterday tho lol but the one before that, in fact, here's the link: th-cam.com/video/a1GUJl7Ax8A/w-d-xo.html Anyways, have a great day Carter!
-CJ
Wow CJ thanks so much for this!! Yeah this was an awesome day and you should totally try and make it next year! I will check your video out when I get a chance. Thanks!
No problem dude! It definitely would be quite the experience! Alright, cool beans :P
I hope the quiet zones were temporarily during this event. ima go to the event this year
Love this video, man! Thumbs up to you! Great shot with the 156!
Thanks!
VCUrailfan15 productions your welcome! I might go for this years Ashland Train Days!
That would be awesome!
Awsome video crazy there s no foreign motors on those trains all csx.
I watched it on virtual Railfan from Australia all night (for me)
+R711 6A fan- ARF multimedia Greetings From American Then!! Thanks for commenting!
I saw Amtrak 156 on Virtual Railfan cam that day
I love it, I like your shot of CSX Q439 as well.. Great vid!
I hope to get there next year, it looks like a fun time. You did a great job on this, I enjoyed it very much!
Gotta love 156
Great video Carter! It was a pleasure meeting you for the first time!
+avasic1995 same to ya!
Nice! Might come down here on Friday morning.
Awesome catches love the hornshows
Always a pleasure to put names to faces! We'll definitely have to make a date again other than train day to all get together!
+Joes Junction yeah totally. Nice to meet you finally.
Joes Junction VRE Santa Train. Perfect date! But then we'd have to go to like Leeland or Brooke
Brooke is a great spot, as is Leland. Sat at both many a hour for some trains.
Joes Junction You can see Sealston Branch trains at those stations, including D793, T161, U161, B732, and B731?(the loaded trash train). They are nice spots
Excellent video!
I like train!!!
XD as I'm watching the paper go by on the Amtrak window My shirt says I like trains as well
5:24 - 5:378 doee anyone know what that sound is,I've always loved hearing train cars make that sound when either picking up speed or slowing down
I never even knew about a train day event! I think me and my mom will go this year! Can’t wait for November second!
Edit: also nice catch!
Edit2: my mom wants to go to North Carolina for a shorter drive
Damn you should def make the trip if possible. It’s a blast!
VCUrailfan15 productions well we figured out that one finished so we want to go to Ashland or Thurmond
I'm gonna try to make it there this year. Is it worth it?
Heck yeah
VCUrailfan15 productions Does it appeal to older audiences? Like a young adult railfan? (I'm 20). And what's the best way to get there from the Hampton Roads area (Where I live) via Amtrak?
Pretty much anybody who likes trains! I'm around your age and i sure do enjoy it. Via Amtrak, you would take a regional train from either Williamsburg or Norfolk that stops in Ashland.
VCUrailfan15 productions 10-4. Thanks! It will be my first time railfanning (If I go).
I'm definitely gonna plan to come out that way! It's only about 2 hours more than my recent trip to Chicago, but I know I can handle it! Especially more convenient is the fact that I get off at 3pm on Thursday (I work 4 days a week Monday-Thursday.) and can adjust my schedule the following week so I can work from Tuesday to Friday and dedicate Monday to driving back. So, I'll be planning for this!
The read nosed amtrack is really hard to find here in Ashland VA
Yep, there is only one Amtrak 156!
i thin that was john stone on that q031
I was first csx train that went though
you operate a csx?
Awesome video!
Lucky stuff!
When's the 2018 one? Lol
November 3
Awesome
Amazing!
That squad tho xDDD
Great video! Will you be attending this year if there is another Trains Day?
I sure will. Wouldn’t miss it for the world!
And yes, train day is scheduled for Saturday November 3rd.
I cant come 😭😭😭 mom said i cant miss school
Looooove your video.
Thanks!
nice! what day is this event this year if it is happening?
18:01 Csx did shave and a haircut
Anyone else see the rock fly at 3:57? :P
Where exactly?
VCUrailfan15 productions If you look very closely you see a little rock from the bed fly up next to the train car. Gotta put on slo mo to see it best.
Oof
Do all these people even realize why the guy kept on blowing the horn. With him doing that, he is telling you to get off.
Nobody was on the tracks, road foreman’s ask trains to make as much noise as possible because of all the people though
I was there
Were all these passing trains on their normal schedule to pass Ashland, or were some detoured to pass because of the Ashland Train Day?
All trains ran normal. Ashland gets about 40 trains per 24 hours.
Did you see Neville From rails of highland valley?
sheldon chan fake, made up character, not real. So no I didn't
Very cool. Am I right in that the trains are always southbound?
Oops. Just got to the Amtrak and CSX meet. Never mind!
Haha funny! No, north/southbound get about equal traffic in a day. Thanks for watching!
I have just discovered all you marvelous rail people in the last couple weeks. I live in Chilliwack BC. Last night we saw the last 20 cars or so of a CN freight on Eagle Landing Parkway on our way to Prospera Centre for my son's hockey game.
Q354? I’m pretty sure you meant Q136
Q354 was an alternate symbol for Q136, ran for multiple months
VCUrailfan15 productions omg, your right! I forgot all about that!!!! It’s been so long!
When I saw 354, I’m so used to catching W354 it threw me off
Lol I don’t blame you that Q354 was a weird symbol.... almost like a manifest. It was weird
DID anybody see Joe Bales
Who?
I was their yesterday to see 5:55 6:31 and 8:30 I think I saw you?
+Kernal I was in a orange Broncos sweatshirt so possibly.
VCUrailfan15 productions yep I saw you😂
+Kernal haha you should have said something. What was I doing when you saw me?
VCUrailfan15 productions wasn’t sure if it was you 😂 just walking
Awesome Video!
