- Hop aboard for a look into the Meridian Southern Railway, a dynamic shortline operation from Meridian to Waynesboro, Mississippi. Their power is all vintage GE B23-7 locomotives, including former Conrail and Santa Fe examples still sporting their old paint!
Special thanks to the powers that be for letting me behind the scenes.
Featured:
MDS (NS) 4039 Conrail Quality
MDS (NS) 4046 Conrail
MDS (NS) 4051 Blanked Out Blue
MDS (NS) 4082 Conrail
MDS (BNSF) 4270 Santa Fe
MDS (BNSF) 4228 Santa Fe
Those two Conrail engines, along with the cars, almost look almost like a ghost train from the booming days of Conrail. They're old, but still going strong. Bravo, Conrail, BRAVO!
They never go over 15mph
These old girl's got a long haul & still are holding their own !!!
What an awesome crew. This is really great stuff, lots of interesting angles, and the in-cab stuff was a real treat. Thanks for sharing!
I love❤these videos.Sorry about sounding like a rivet counter when I comment about the numbers.But it's fun sharing the history of these GE locomotives😊.Thank for the great videos.😊
They must love those B23-7 's.😊
Incredible footage! Awesome
2:34 amazing air horn. Love seeing older units still working industrial operations
sweet dude i went up there in October and caught them switching
Love to see the B23s chugging along. My dad worked for Conrail in the 80s and I have a picture of us together in the cab of CR1917. I always wonder what 1917's fate was and if it's dead lined, where is it sitting
Looks like interchange town railroad...20mph track not bad..i seen trains run on tracks that's up and down sideways don't know how train stay on the tracks...😭😢😰😳😘🎅🎇those engine s where NYC..PC..before contrails...still chuckling along..😜
I grew up with conrail in my backyard in Worcester mass!! Now living in Iowa there is Union Pacific like crazy!!
Great catch
Happy Thanksgiving 🦃😁
Oh sup.
I love the engines sounds it’s the best sounded engines I think to listen too! I need a model of one of these so I get get that sweet engine action, I also love that horn
Love the video. Incredible angles and photography. Do you have any information on when this railroad runs, or the easiest way to catch it?
TS12 Trainz Routes I regularly watch them as I only live a couple miles from the location. 29th avenue in Meridian that connects with KCS and the interchange track for NS located next to the Lauderdale County Farm supply. They operate 5 days a week plus weekends when needed. If they operate weekends, they have to have quite a bit of cars at NS. KCS will come over to MDS to pick up their interchange traffic. It's hard to catch them going south or coming north.
What an awesome video!
great video! glad to see some of the older stuff!
Is back!
That lead unit was ex CONRAIL B23-7 2015.
That is a perfect RS3L
The Trailing B23-7 was ex CONRAIL 1953.😊
The CONRAIL QUALITY B23-7 was ex CONRAIL 1932.
Well, we still miss the big blue.
Great video.
They need a Conrail caboose to drag around with them. And a can of blue spray paint.
Great video!
That leading one needs the turbo fixed you can tell that the oil is just leaking all over the turbo, it smokes a lot even when just running at fairly low rpm
Eu amo trem ,pode mandar mais vídeos,Eu gosto muito
OBRIGADO
Looks like 2021 XD
Also nice vid
How much would it cost to paint those locomotives? At least from the frames up?
@@samsmith5556 Is that kind of language really necessary over something as insignificant as paint on a 40 year old diesel engine?
I'm looking for an atlas B23-7 shell.😊
Where is that
Trackwork needs improvement, but it is a very busy line, at least it appears to be?
Robbi496 Apparently, it doesn’t run all that much. Still a nice route though. Especially the power at the head!
What I would give to trainspot there...
Florida Railfanning 812 There isn't too terribly much to watch on MDS unless these guys are running.
A year or two to get a driver's license and a car, lol
Michael Appleby But what I’d like to know are if any of the Ex-Cons (4082 included) are still in active service. I’ve never seen former Conrail power, so if I ever do get to see them running and it’s one of the Conrail units, I’d be pretty happy about that. Just need a schedule and advice on this line, (as well as to get through my parent’s heads to go further south)
@@mikeytrains1 I grew up with Conrail in the late 90s and saw quite a bit of ex-Conrail power on NS and CSX post-merger on the CSX Toledo Sub and NS Dayton District in Dayton, Ohio. Literally every NS train had at least one Conrail unit in the consist back in the day (2000-2003). But as the years went on, I saw less of them. However, I did get lucky enough to see some ex-SP power on the IORY trackage rights trains, and saw even more ex-SP/SSW power when I moved to El Paso, Texas on the UP Sunset Route!
@@mikeytrains1 Once you start driving, you're world will open up even more than before! Trust me! Lol
Old Ge`s tottally stunning sounds as well as great durability too , unfortunately they haven't got any of them anymore !! Yet they're screwing Emd and PR in the exports market with it's under the table eternal techniques which is Emd not used to , and can't keep a leg with GE in regarding that !!!!
What horn model is that?
Leslie RS3L
GE`s beyond both of +2400 hp and the year 2000 are not hearable any more , they really sound ridiculous , no krkrkrkrkr magic voice .
This is the shittiest line I’ve ever seen run and I lived on those tracks for years
