Loved that angle shot.and the georgeouse sunset shot.beautiful pullman car.wish id been there to see it in person.good lashups too.the 2 locos at the end of the train.take up the slack.nothing worse n a broken coupler.engineers worst nightmare.
Shooting at sunset is nice, but if the train is a bit late things get messed up quickly. I was happy it worked out. We had a lot of broken knuckles on this line a few years back, but well-positioned DPs indeed helped preventing such nightmares most of the time in recent years.
The opening shot was so cool. Looked like some kind of cyclops monster coming up out of a pit, LOL. If that Pullman car could talk, the stories it would tell....my, my. Grateful that nothing happened even though that was a nasty looking cloud deck above you. I've come to the conclusion that Howie siding is just about my favorite spot when I watch your videos. Loved the one looking back towards the mill. Looks like Norman siding is where you got the opening, "coming up out of the pit," shot for Q580-22. I like it!! With a BNSF lead to boot! Thanks for taking me on a trip with you, LOL. Good stuff!
It's a rather short video, but there's so much to talk about it in it. Yeah, the Pullman car. It has been through a lot of history, for sure. Howie is also my favorite. It simply offers a multitude of perspectives and there's always an angle that works under any light condition. Norman is a little ways to go; but I had to do it. Otherwise I had run out of light for Q580. It was worth it! Great you like the video.
The two different Tier 4 locomotives on the first train are wonderful. That Pullman car is more than 110 years old, which is incredible. I'm sure the museum will be happy to exhibit it. The BNSF pumpkin is a pleasant surprise, foreign power is always much appreciated. Great trains and cool locations again, thanks for the quality update. :)
To get that BNSF leader in the last daylight required some effort, but it worked. The Pullman car was a total surprise. I was happy to catch it. One rarely sees these old cars moving. You're welcome!
Saw that lineup when it passed thru colbert. There were also two wrapped white Canadian national passenger cars wrapped in white plastic a week later headed toward Atlanta. Enjoy your videos!
@@mbmars01 any idea where those Canadian cars were headed? They did not look finished on the inside. Glad to have coal trains back- miss the piggybacks !
@@mbmars01 From what I gather this locomotive has a 4500 hp 12 cylinder four stroke engine with a welded block but I'm not sure of the welded block part.
Awesome catches MBM, and definitely a lot of GEVO power at the front! I can understand what you meant abt the 1+2 power arrangement. However, it makes sense to have 2 at the bottom when moving AUTORACKS to take the massive strain off the knuckles and couplers at the same time. I'd rather have them pushing when you're moving 1000's of tons. Thanks again for sharing your videos and look fwd to seeing the next one!
Well, you are probably right about pushing being better than pulling under some circumstances, but it was the first time I saw such a power configuration on this line. Good you like watching the videos here, thanks.
Some pretty neat stuff. Hopefully that pullman car made it in time, there's an old story of Conrail losing an RDC in transit to a group, they lost it for over a year at one point!
My outings are really random as trains are now scarce on this line. However, when I go out, I occasionally bump into other railfans. Btw, there is a Facebook group for this line; feel free to join if you haven't already.

Very cool.Kind of nice to see a little bit of foreign power now and again.The pullman was a great catch also!
Absolutely, there's a hardly any foreign power leading on CSX anymore.

Another great video my friend. Keep up the great work. Have a great weekend and stay safe out there.
Thank you. I also wish you a great weekend and be safe, too! It's a crazy time...
@@mbmars01 I'm not sure there is a time that wasn't "crazy"! And I'm almost 80!!!
Lol, you certainly have a point here :)

Good morning my friend happy weekend and that the coal train within CXS freight trains shifting really good since their wagons shifting really well
Nice you enjoyed the video. Have a great weekend, too!
nice video !The passion of the train until the evening !
Thank you!
Was wondering how heavy all those wagons were, there were so many and the locomotives must pack a lot of power, just amazing.
Another great video! You’re so informative. Thanks for sharing. 😎👍🏻
Thanks, good you like the style!

Great you caught him, too! Interesting, I missed these CN cars. Awesome, thanks!

Excellent video. I'm still trying to get more info on Tier 4 engine of the EMD.
Thanks very much. I'm somewhat surprised that these engines show up so regularly on this line.
@@mbmars01 From what I gather this locomotive has a 4500 hp 12 cylinder four stroke engine with a welded block but I'm not sure of the welded block part.
They’re junk and might be newer but don’t work worth a ****
Nice video. Its cool that coal traffic that still use the CSX C line (Atlanta - Cincinatti) via Etowah, Knoxville, and Corbin.
Thanks! I'm surprised by the amount of coal traffic they still run.
Great video! I like these locomotives SD70ACe T4 and the car Pullman are a big surprise!
Thanks! I knew the ST70 was leading the train, but the Pullman car was indeed a big surprise.
Great video! That was a cool curve about half way through the video
Thanks! I love that curve at Howie... I have filmed there a lot.
@@mbmars01 you are welcome!

Nice! Super video!
Cool, thank you!
Very nice views of the 1-0-2 train. I would love to talk to the dispatcher/scheduler who set that one up :)
Thanks! This setup wasn't what I expected to see on this train lol
thumbs up man!!
Cool, thanks!
Hey, I know used to rail fan in hull, I rail fan in the area and in Colbert Ga less than 5 miles away is a great spot next to the old Colbert station
Never mind, I got farther into the video
I'm fairly familiar with all sections of the line between Gloster and Abbeville. There are indeed a couple of great spots in the Colbert area.
2:48 5 months later the IRM would acquire a coach from the FEVR in Hooper Nebraska.
Nice!
Il video è stato molto interessante la realizzazione molto bella il treno ultimo del video gli effetti di luce formidabili
Great you like the video! Grazie!
Some pretty neat stuff.
Hopefully that pullman car made it in time, there's an old story of Conrail losing an RDC in transit to a group, they lost it for over a year at one point!
Yea, I think the Pullman car did arrive at the museum :)
Nice video!
Thanks!
@@mbmars01 You're Very Welcome!
If you ever find yourself in Oklahoma, I’d recommend either Sallisaw or Perry, Oklahoma as a railfanning location.
Thanks. I haven't yet done it, but railfanning OK is something I'd like to do someday.
Thanks. As an Oklahoma native, I feel like our state gets unrecognized in railroading but we’ve got a lot of railroad history behind us.
Tell me when you are going back here and I’ll meet you at these places
My outings are really random as trains are now scarce on this line. However, when I go out, I occasionally bump into other railfans. Btw, there is a Facebook group for this line; feel free to join if you haven't already.
I live in Athens ga I'm close to the railroad
Awesome!
