Thanks!

[@RandomRailfan828]

Great catches there man!

[@jsa-z1722]

Excellent footage! 👏👏👏👏I guess a lot of rail fans would like a bit of commentary too, so we know more about what we’re looking at?

I've thought about doing voice overs on my videos one day, maybe once I get a better microphone setup

[@ERICMANN71]

With TVAX cars that first NS coal train is a Kingston (Tennessee Valley Authority) coal train not Scherer (Georgia Power) coal train.

Thanks for the correction!

Hey bro just got my start date with CAGY and what kind of jobs ther typically run do they have road jobs or all local and switching

[@trainguy1792]

Well depends on if you work for the CAGY out of Columbus or out of Greenville. Out of Columbus it's switching jobs and the ~10 mile run to and from the steel mill, usually with dash 8 power. Out in the Delta, from my knowledge they have switching jobs in Greenville and a local that goes to Greenwood and back, about 50 miles each way.

[@fredrick8947]

@ I hired out of the Columbus yard and from what I heard they run to millport AL .now idk how true that is

[@fredrick8947]

@ the switching jobs and the steel run don’t sound to bad put in 10hrs days and be home everyday can’t beat that

[@trainguy1792]

@@fredrick8947 I know somebody runs to Millport, CAGY and the Luxapalila Railroad used to be separate but they may be combined now. One thing about the CAGY is they do run at night, occasionally the mill run will be at like 3 am.
