I was wondering where you were. Have fun too!

@@babtotheboneproductions Thank you! I waited almost 2 hours in the rain to catch this!

@@eberlegarage your welcome!

@@samuelbistline4973 it was going to Norfolk Southern. I’ve seen a couple 30+ car trains

@@xavienchatman That's a long train for the city of York. Do you see the coal train go thu the city on Saturday morning ? And return Sunday night. The coal train at one time went up the york penndale line. On the spring Grove side. I think they now go up the york rail side on the Western Maryland. Maybe the train comes thu Hanover to porters and comes down the Western Maryland that way to sping Grove paper. That train was cool to watch.

@@samuelbistline4973 Norfolk Southern 511. CSX used to deliver coal there before Emons group bought the WM trackage from York to Porters

@@xavienchatman OK, so they are getting the coal from CSX. At porters. For years they came thu york city on Saturday morning about 0300 and dump the coal all day Saturday and Sunday then come back thu on Sunday night. They would switch power there at the poor house yard. I do remember at the end they stop switching out the power. They kept conrail on the the train. I remember seeing that too.

@@samuelbistline4973 auto rack cars in York?! I never knew those would come to York.

Yes , wolf lumber is now. It was the new auto yard. I had a good friend from redlion he work there for years until they close down in 1995 they had (2) ramps they. I think the company was TDI i will look at my photos and ask my friend if he remembers the company name. ​@xavienchatman

I just noticed that!

@@roydrink Me too!

@@unitedweather4246 YRC 1549 came to pick it up an hour later but they should’ve just took it with them or put it in a more secure spot.

@@samuelbistline4973 around August or July of 2023

@xavienchatman OK, thank you. It has been a while since I have been around that area. Have you found the M&P Hilton book yet?

@@samuelbistline4973 not yet.

@@samuelbistline4973 Nice!

@xavienchatman remember 92-day inspection is the CFR for all locomotive inspections. SRBX

Is he working on YRC 1532?

@xavienchatman that I don't know. He works on all of them and down in union Bridge MD, too. It's in the CFR 49, and all locomotive needs a 92-day inspection. Air brakes are every 3 years. On all locomotive.

@@samuelbistline4973 I was told 1532 was broken down and it’s been seen march

@@unitedweather4246 I have no idea. When they left the yard they left it sitting there with the engine running.

@@xavienchatman 1539 should be heading up soon

@unitedweather4246 Awesome news!

Is IMRR 1550 up there?

@unitedweather4246 No, I think it went to another railroad but YRC 1531’s horn and IMRR 1550’s horn both sound just alike

@@samuelbistline4973 that sounds like so much fun!

@@samuelbistline4973 I saw a piece of a track broken off a couple meters away from the crossing a couple of months ago.

Awesome information!

Wow that’s crazy!

It missed the fuel pumps. ⛽️

@@samuelbistline4973 that’s good.

That’s some cool information! Thank you!

You are welcome. York this MY home town. It is cool to find your KZbin channel.

I’ve seen some old photos of it from a site called York Pa railfan Guide

Do you have the Gorge Hilton book on the M&P. There is a first and second addition. We sell paper back copies at MCF.

@@samuelbistline4973 no unfortunately but I do have a book called “Northern Central Railway and Heritage Rail Trail Guidebook” by Robert L. Williams & Scott Mingus that has lot of history about the NCR! It is signed by Scott!

I will look around for a copy of Hilton's book on the M&P RR. Also there is a nice Stewartown book by Mr Eric Bicklemen. ​@@xavienchatman

Wow! Thank you!

You're welcome. Go to the running of the 1361 in York in 1988. You can watch this same spot. With the K4 running thur.

@@samuelbistline4973 I was just watching that today! I’m trying to find more information about York’s history with the railroads and you have lots of awesome information!

@xavienchatman OK some old Yorks history. So the big player in York history. (1) The M&P from Baltimore to York mile post 77. Came from the south. But the York rail crew called it the east branch. (2) The NCR from Harrisburg to Baltimore, where the NS is at the Windsor yard today. NCR is on Pershing Ave. (3) Western Maryland. Starts in porter siding in Hanover to city of York to the block plant along the condors creek at mill run. That line is being pulled up in the city at a few spots. (4) The York penndale line from starting in Frederick MD to Columbia Wrightville Bridge. Became the PRR ,PC That line is were east penn runs today. Most of the track at the York fair all thu town. (5) York railway. The street car line. That was the biggest street/ trolley line in PA. Carbarn and street shop on Maryland Ave and Hartley st. That was the player.

Wow! That’ll be cool! Thanks for the info

Nice! Is it on its way now?

It might work alone because 1532 might be broken down

@@babtotheboneproductions not yet

Thank you!

Your welcome

Thanks!

Yeah! On the NCR where the college is building over a old paper mill had some left over tracks but they were recently ripped out and there’s some leftover evidence of the double track by the siding at the college.

Thank you very much!

Thanks so much!

Thanks again!

Thank you very much!

I don’t know the name of it. Thank you

Queen Street by the York Revolution stadium in York Pennsylvania

Yup! The Ma & Pa track has 1 industry YRC works at the old shops. When I was recording this 3 people went inside of the tower as you can see at the end of the video.

@@xavienchatman Back in Spring 1977 I made a trip from Baltimore up to the Ma & Pa in York. I had my "The Ma & Pa" history book by George Hilton with me. While I was walking around their tracks, a switching crew conductor walked over to me. I thought he was going to fuss at me for being on their property. Just the opposite, he handed me a copy of their orders from earlier in the day and said, "Here would you like this?" He recognized that I was a railfan and saw the book I was holding. He invited me up into the engine and the crew took a short run down the line to pick up an empty gondola at a steel fabrication facility. That conductor was working for the RR when it still ran to Baltimore. He looked at the photo of an engine derailment at Oakleigh in 1953 and told me he was there that day. He gave details like it was just yesterday...really made the book come alive for me as he looked through it. It made my day!

@@xavienchatman (continued) I also had a Baltimore Sun newspaper article about the railroad tucked in the book. The article had a photo of the engineer of a freight train heading for Red Lion and Whiteford, MD a few years earlier. He recognized the engineer who had at one time ran the passenger trains between York and Baltimore. Sadly, he told me that engineer had just recently passed away. The crew enjoyed seeing the article. In hindsight, I wish I had offered the conductor the article to keep. The people who worked for that railroad were very railfan friendly. Oh, just for reference, that industry where the crew picked up the empty gondola appears to be the last industry with a siding before the end of the track, looking at Google Satellite Imaging. Maybe that's the one you mentioned YR still serving?

@shortliner68 Wow, that had to have been a awesome adventure!

@@xavienchatman It was! Wish I could have gotten up that way again while they were still operating down to Whiteford, MD. I also had a Baltimore newspaper article about the M&P tucked in the book. It had a photo of an engineer running a train down to Whiteford a few years earlier. The conductor recognized the engineer who had at one time ran the passenger trains between York and Baltimore. Sadly, that engineer had just recently passed away. In hindsight, I wish I had offered him the article in case he kept memorabilia of his time working there. For reference, the industry where the crew picked up the empty gondola is presently the last industry having a rail siding before the end of the original M&P line, based on Google Maps. Maybe that's the industry you mentioned YR still serving on the original line?

Gracias

Thank you so much!
