The fact that the new person got rid of the 6000s is just crazy. Atleast rebuild them like Union Pacific does with there 6000 series, and maybe put them back in their famous YN2 paint scheme
In the 50’s my father took me to a yard next to the Homestead steel mill outside of Pittsburgh. The yard was full of steam locos, mostly PRR, waiting to be scrapped. I was saddened at the beginning of the video to all the rusty units. Thank you for telling me that these are being rebuilt.
I feel kinda bad for those stored dash 8s! But anyways 7868, 7774, 7807, 7799, 7786, 7787,( former Pam am dash 8s) 7655, 7727, 7835, and 7898 + 2 dash 9s which are 9025 and 9045! 7765 and 7792 might be reactivated to be put into mainline service soon but we’re gonna have to wait and see what happens, it is peak season for traffic so a few more dash 8s should go up to serve Pam am while the C40-8s are having issues!
I still cant believe the person who was in charge of CSX back then in the 2000s was wanting to get rid of ac6000cw's while UP still uses the newer and older models.
I was there earlier this year but it’s hard to get a good vantage point. The drone definitely helps. Hope you got down to Folkston while you were there
My friend works for the CSX..which stands for. The Chicken Sh*t Xpress. Which the invention of the AC engines the equliant is 1 1/2 to 1: DC motor. You can blame EHH for this line of dead engines.
Where all are the deadline locations? You mention Waycross GA (obviously) and Huntington WV... anywhere else? I have a few units I am looking for, including 7767, 2437, and 4048. Edit: 14:43 - well it looks like I found 7767! That unit broke down while hauling a loaded grain up the grade near my house. Caused quite the show as the crew doubled the train into the siding in town. That was early 2024 and I would guess that after that, it ended up here.
@@amessman The three mentioned are the primary big 3, though other yards have stored locomotives such as Cincinnati, Ohio and Nashville, Tennessee. Glad you spotted one you’re familiar with! One of my favorite parts of making these deadline videos is that it gives people a chance to reminisce. If you don’t find the others here, maybe check my other 2 videos from Huntington! Thanks for the feedback!
TORC is part of csx in the same way Carilton RR (in Worthville, KY) is. Its a subsidiary of CSXT. TORC = Toledo Ore Railway Company (Some say the C stands for Chessie or CSX)
@@RAtheGoodRailfanner_888 I’m not quite sure myself, as there were so many that we couldn’t have counted them in the time that we had. Hopefully the video give you a good idea!
The only railroad that has AC60 or AC4460CWs is Union Pacific, im glad they didnt give them up yet...its always fun to see em leading with the awesom horn they have, but the CSX CW60ACs will be missed running the mainline unless CSX rebuilds them in the near future😢
I wonder if the rumors are true about the vast majority of the CSX AC6000CWs being scrapped? I know of the eight that were overhauled and painted in Erie RR colors for the Western New York and Pennsylvania RR which were returned to Wabtec because of a severe reduction in business. They, as well as the ALCOs, have been replaced by GP15s. The only other one that I know has survived is the one that was gutted and repurposed as Aberdeen, Carolina, and Western #87 and Is a glorified bar on wheels!
This equipment has long ago reached its full depreciation value and is now off or gone from the balance sheets. They're sitting there. My impression is that CSX is more of a real estate development and insurance company than they are a railroad. More reasons why this serviceable power is sitting. These lines will only get longer once the Pan Am acquisition is fully approved by the STB get ready for a cobalt blue and charcoal grey of mostly EMDs head south and appear. 🚂
in your intro, what on earth are those massive gates and wall over the train tracks? almost looks like its meant to keep out water? or is this just a very fancy yard gate?
@@kingwasabi2092 Funny you should mention those, I’m currently working on a Coalfield Chronicles episode covering them! I get questions all the time haha, but they are flood walls that they close when it’s giving heavy rain. More on them soon!
It's Sad to see all of these engines Dead Line. Hunter Harris CP or CN Big Wig who run's two mile long trains with two men crews and this is why NS and CSX has lost so many employees and jobs cause there doing what he does. Thanks for the post.
@@kelvintorrence5994 Thanks for the feedback! Though I am unsure of how many there were here, they have been selling them quite frequently recently. I recall seeing one heading north on a consist earlier this summer for instance
TORC is owned and operated by CSX, that unit was never in CSX colors to my knowledge. TORC was started under chessie I believe it was and they originally just added TORC underneath the chessie motors and when csx came they put them onto YN2 and then YN3 unlogoed with the torc lettering.
3:05 1550, GP15-1 I though they sold all these years ago 3:52 2452, SD38-2 one of five on the roster 3:54 2450, sister unit to the SD38-2 above. One of five. 5:43 again on the right the two SD38-2 dating back to the L&N 8:49 4318 GP39-2 Built as Reading, and then to the D&H. 10:30 TORC 999 TORC or TORCO is a 100% CSX owned subsidiary dating from the Chessie System era. It remains nominally independent despite 100% CSX ownership, it operates the Toledo Ore Docks. Hence TORCO 12:11 8757 SD60M Darn there is not many of these left... I think CSX is down to under 10 60 series. 13:24 1515 GP15T along with two SD60M 8761 and 8767 13:45 8406 SD40 rebuilt to SD40-2 long long ago, Originally C&O 7455 14:49 8464 SD40 rebuilt for CSX long long ago by MK. Originally Mopac 744 18:26 another SD60M 8768 In my opinion. The 60s and Dash 8 and Dash 9s should have been retired 2 to 4 years ago. The stored EMD SD70MACs all need to go to EMD for SD70IAC rebuilds. All the other EMDs and SLUG should be kept for possible ECO rebuild.
Always sad seeing retired locomotives just rusting away. Some just look too far gone for repairs, I'd probably just sell them for scrap and rebuild the ones thar don't look too bad.
What’s unbelievable is that CSX has continued to operate without all these locomotives! And this isn’t the only place they have them rusting away!
There are deadlines like this all over North America on all Class I roads
CSX definitely doesn't need to buy any new locomotives. Just upgrade these and they'll be good.

Thanks Micah for this video. The overhead shots really let you see the enormity of this yard.

That is amazing never been there but do plan on going it's amazing all these locos just sitting there rusting away, great video thanks for sharing 👍👍
Thanx for the video. I spent a lot of my childhood in Waycross. Rode many ACL passenger trains in and out of there.
Great video. I have always heard about Waycross but this is the first video I've seen.

Those dash 8s in Waycross are parked in the lot getting ready to be sold.
Its like restoring them and rebuilding them like steam locomotives do.
I saw 348 on X277 leading
Most of this stuff has been here for years, especially those CW40-8's and the GP40-2/slug combos. They have plenty of 4 axle power
Thank you very much. Last time I walked the Waycross deadline locomotives were painted Family Lines or earlier.
Awesome video here man!
Them engines sure could use a paint job on the roofs!
I hope CSX uses the AC6000s again soon
in your deams lol
I was there earlier this year but it’s hard to get a good vantage point. The drone definitely helps. Hope you got down to Folkston while you were there
@@truckinpoppop6777 Folkston and Cordele is actually the next video! Stay tuned!

These Deadline Locomotives look better than the ones in Germany

Cumberland, MD is a big one. There used to be quite a few units stored in Russel, KY, but I believe those were all moved to Huntington.
How can i get one of the radios that you have so that i can listen to them and k ow when they are coming
@@KobiZyn You can find them on Amazon, by searching Uniden Bearcat BC125AT scanner, as well as the Diamond antenna ti help boost your signal

How many dash 8s are in there? Can’t they get rebuilt or refurbishments? I want to see them on Csx trains again. Bnsf and cn still use them.
@@RAtheGoodRailfanner_888 I’m not quite sure myself, as there were so many that we couldn’t have counted them in the time that we had. Hopefully the video give you a good idea!
I didn’t see 7929 or 6914 here anymore I wonder where they ended up
It's just recycling old parts into new ones and putting them in service soon
Wow that's was lot a Locomotive.
Why is there a sd40-3 there?
