Happy Thursday folks! Hope your week is going well, only one more day until Friday!
Made some changes from last week.. including the track diagram at Ozone!
Have a great rest of your evening! -Sam
You know you can pin comments so they show up at the top also nice vid
Good to hear a company dedicated enough not only to stay alive and healthy in these troubling days for mines, but buying track and power after being abandoned by NS. This country needs more of this mindset. Short lines need to exist more now than ever. They keep their locos clean. They are as old as I am and look better too. :) Seeing these wood trestles was just eye candy for this train nerd. The Willet Haller tunnel shot is extraordinary. Excellent cinematography.
This comment is train nerd approved!
Lhoist is definitely a true testament of perseverance. Thanks for watching!
just another one of our American-built businesses being sold to conglomerates offshore.
Who else loves the narration? It sounds like a documentary filmed in 1982!
I appreciate your comment! Thank you for the kind words
Love these old engines, especially the high hoods. Love that this railroad run them short nose forward!
It does seem to give better visibility
Your picture quality is excellent, good job!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🙏
This was an awesome video once again to watch. We love watching the material on your channel. Have a wonderful rest of your evening.(Steve)
Steve, thank you for those kind words! I always look for your kind words, they are greatly appreciated. Have a great rest of your day, friend!
Your very much welcome anytime. Thank you very much and you also.@@rail.tennessee
Man this is awesome and I love those Nathan P5 horns
Tennessee is a beautiful state is cool seeing the highhoods
Very nice video!! I love a railroad with a diverse roster, I can only hope to get down there to see them sometime!
Definitely a bucket list railroad to visit. Thanks for watching man!
A gemstone in the rough. I would love to recreate this in HO Scale. @ 2:25-10:20 I love the weathered bridge n the winter n summer:)
Another banger from you! One of the best videos made of this railroad!
My man! Thanks for watching brotha!
I just love the sweet and leisurely pace of the train!
Love those high hoods❤❤❤
Lots of kuzu in that opening shot! Very nice engines. Especially nice paint scheme.
Thank you for a very informative and enjoyable video.
What a great video thoroughly enjoyed it immensely.
High cab EMD ✔️
Long Hood Forward Running ✔️
Gorgeous countryside ✔️
Cheers
Louis Kats from Melbourne, Australia 🇦🇺 👍 ✔️
Slick video! The drone footage is excellent and adds quite a bit of cinematography
Real good-looking Locomotives
The woodlands, the waterfalls, the old wooden bridges...I wish I grew up somewhere like this. 😌
Wonderful video! I have a friend, Paul, who drives trains for Lhoist. It is cool getting to see the interiors of those engines
Absolutely beautiful video!!!
What a nice shortline to model!
Thank you for a very professional video, GREAt JOB. 😊 B
Those underground limestone mines are crazy. They bore out tunnels and literally hollow-out the mountain with heavy equipment/blasting.
This was awesome to see! The high hood looks cool!
Awesome video! I love the drone footage.
Very good video! Looks like you have studied at the Danny Harmon school of train videos. I live close to where the NS runs through Lansing, TN. That line has a lot of tunnels and high bridges.
That is a HUGE compliment! I am greatly humbled you think so… thanks so much for watching!
That kudzu is doing its absolute best to grow across that track! That mess can grow up to a foot or more in a day!
Outstanding greatness
That is how you know you are going to have a good time when you see this loco down the tracks 🙂
Every thing about this video is absolutely top notch quality. Thanks for sharing 👍
Great video - I enjoyed it.
Great video. Thanks for making and sharing. I subbed you.
they can say what they wont too but them are some of best looking high hoods i ever seen very well done on this vid
Impressive video! Great work. Interesting story. The horn is repulsive, LOL. Wish they would have refurbished those yellow warning lights on the lead engine. Would have added some serious coolness.
Nice overview I appreciate
You got a great buy on your crane it is beautiful😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Those locos looking fresh
So many gems here! Love the old non-turbo EMDs and even the GE Bs. Love the sounds of the railroad...setting a minimum and dragging the loads downhill and the push-pull is great move. The EJ&E used to push-pull entire coal sets (120ish loads and empties) at West Chicago, IL. Delivering the empty set to a one track siding and shoving the loads out to the main at west end. UP power on bother sets.
great video
Great video❤
Those old GE'S were good pulling locomotives
Awesome stuff man! Love the passion for quality, it definitely showed with this video
I think I've never seen a bridge more accurately named than Piney Creek Bridge
Sweet video 👍🏻
Good to see the classic locos back on track
Nice video!
Technically, the units are running "forward" on the trip back up the mountain. Southern ran them long hood forward but also equipped various units with dual control stands. Notice the horns on both ends of the GP38.
Amazing video quality. Great work!
I've worked on that x Rio Grande locomotive back when I started with the Grande
Great video!
I worked on B23-7's about 30 yrs ago. Honestly, I never liked them much. I forget the engine model that was in them, but wow was it high maintenance! They would fail power assemblies like PEZ candy. They would burn out DB grids, and to change out brake shoes was a chore. The good thing was that they ran strong putting out 2250 HP. A GP-38 was only good for 2000 HP.
If I had that high hood engine, then I'd name it, "Mr. High Tower"
Alwzys happy to see the high nose units, however, they could change those whitsles.😊
If I ever do go back to Tennessee, I'm definitely gonna find myself around here. May bring a Super 8 or Super 16 camera along since it seems like the perfect opportunity.
The vacant lines turn into eco corridors and trails, Or they have pedal apparatus if the rails are still in place, so you can get a workout too
I have driven by there many times. I remember seeing an old center cab diesel switcher. But I don't know if it is still on the fleet roster.
It is! I meant to add footage of that into the video… I’ll be sure to include it next time. The center cab isn’t actively used anymore, but rather it sits as a prop near downtown Crab Orchard
@@rail.tennessee I drove past there today, November 7th. And I seen a f unit diesel locomotive. I'm not sure what model it is. But that's a huge and a very rare surprise.
that bridge could use a good coat of paint to protect it
The swing up part is part of a attachable jib boom there should be a picture of it on your load chart that should be in the manual and on your load chart🤩🤩🤩 plate on the crane or in the cab of the crane
Why can't they bolt on a nice five-chime that's fun to hear?
@TPW900GP35 Yeah, that horn... 🤮
I'm kinda wondering why they favor the high nosed locomotives
Tennesee is where all the rich vampires live, it is a very pretty place
Awesome video! I’m thinking about heading up there pretty soon, but I don’t know when they run. Would you happen to know if they run every weekend? Thanks!
Monday-Wednesday-Friday is the norm but may have changed recently
An O is not a 0, 5206!
2:05 the bridge look rusty, is that safe?
Has the company said anything about saving the two hi Hood U-boats they have? I ask because i coukd see one at tvrm and another at sarm
the low joint at 4:25 makes me cringe lol love the paint scheme!
Very nice video, well done. I noticed stepless zoom, what camera do you use and can you tell me more about the gear you are using....?
I want to railfan here. When do they normally leave Crab Orchard?
Side note. How deep are the tunnels at the mines. The ones visible by interstate 40? I've been trucking and seeing the tunnels since 03051995.... thxs
I have a question. Looks like 3043 is a GP-35 rebuilt as a GP38-2. I´m saying that because, there are only two radiator fans, and to be 3,000 HP, the new, 645 engine, requires a turbo. And looks like, if there is a 645 engine, is roots, not turbo, and therefore, instead of 3,000 is then, 2,000. Am I right?
They look very heavy
These remind me of the Alcos in India. They are being phased out…
Well then. I'd always pronounced it "loyst". And how is an open pit quarry considered an "underground" mine?
There’s no real way to film the underground portion of the mine without having a proper Lhoist employee safely guide you to it, which is highly unlikely to happen.
Thanks for watching!
@@rail.tennessee Thank you for clarifying.
Those GE’s B-23’s would take forever to start loading up. You could not kick cars with them.
I preferred the GEs.
I have always liked there livery, could care less avout the high hoods though honestly.
Alco?
Lhoist is a tongue twister. are you pronouncing it, LOW-OST, or LO-WA'SST??
I prefer L-Hoist.
@@RealJeep you make sense, but listen to his pronunciation at the beginning of the vid. nothing online that clarifies it. Tennessee Central sounds better.
The second option is closest to how it’s pronounced… for the longest time I thought it was pronounced ELL-HOIST. Definitely an interesting name!
High hoods are neat to look at, but absolute shit to run from.
Oh Cheeee, looks dirty honking is even more dirty like a truck
Those are some noisy cars
Oh look another overseas company owning property in the usa
Not...
i prefer to Russia in production than America
i prefer to Russia in technology than America.
Curious why the railroad doesn't keep it's parts locomotive / locomotives under a roof or something to protect what they can instead of just leaving everything out in the elements.
