Thank you for recording/posting this. Im sorry it took me so long to find it! I've operated on this line since 1996. Still working the Asheville District of NS. Our mountain is in shambles due to Helene. Not sure yet what the future holds.
Absolutely the best Southern Loops video EVER!! From a retired (41 years service) Linwood Mechanical employee (my first day was the opening day of Linwood yard 6/11/1979, and I was there when they closed it in 2020), kudos on a job well done! The drone is a game changer!
Fantastic piece of engineering. Great drone footage. I subscribed as per Kyle's suggestion. Years ago I was on a train to Bayhead, NJ and the road foreman said, "Colonel put the train on the loop then you can poop"!
Great video as one could see the head-end making it's slow progress and the sound was very good as you knew they were fighting the grade. Funny the loop in the last minute takes on the shape of a light bulb. Still an engineering feat

Good sound work on a drone video.

Thank you so much! Haha, Cool!
Awesome Drone Shot of the loop at Old Fort, NC. Blessing to Blue Ridge Rails for getting such a great view, Wow, Thanks.
Thank you so much! No problem, it's what I love to do!
Hope they run more.
Me too!

@@paulbergen9114 Thank you, Paul! They were sure pulling hard! It is definitely a modern marvel!
Nice video!!
Thanks!!
Wish I saw it on the loops! Haven't seen that since 2020! Though, happy to see it somewhere on the line!
Yep!
@@blueridgerails Im sick (hope not covid), and since I heard about that run, and wasn't at school, I decided to catch this special!
WATCO wanted to buy or lease it
That's incredible, why would they build track like this tho? Please forgive my ignorance.
@@slofootcrofoot Sure is!
All good, this was constructed this way so that trains could climb the mountain without going straight up the hill.
did you just go out to the loops and hope for the best? How did you do it.
No sir, we heard this guy leaving linwood on the radio, and had been chasing him since Catawba prior to this.
good to know, what channel were you on?
@@trainhuntersfamily8625 160.95, 160.83
Really cool, I guess that's older footage or was a train rerouted recently!🛤🚂
This was filmed earlier today, it was an extra train running under the symbol #P6A.
Would be nice to see through freight service return to the loops!🛤🚂
@ChainsawN&W1218 soon😉
