I've got a dumb question why was that rail line put in. Tree's rock's and water or I see why it's abandoned To
@motorcarlamar3 ай бұрын
It is (was) the mainline of one of the divisions of the L&N, now CSX, railroad known as the "Hook and Eye". It runs between Atlanta and Knoxville. Larger railroad cars caused it to be bypassed with a new line that is still in use today. In more recent years the Georgia Northeastern took over the line and served a large copperr mine at Copperhill, TN which is where the video begins. There's just way too much history for a quick answer so Google Hook and Eye.

The vent hose is for venting the sulfuric acid gasses that the battery gives off. No, remove the negative (black) cable first.

I just purchased one, and I found, like you, that the takeup just does not have enough grunt to pull the film through. A solution I found is to exclude the last "peg" in the outlet side of the takeup chain. Mine certainly doesn't like splices. One suggestion I would make is to make sure the arms of the reel supports are fully extended so that the internal belt is as tight as possible. I'm on my third 5" reel (about 2.5 hours worth) and believe me there are a few seventy year old splices in one of those. I'd appreciate a report on the magnasonic when you get it. A major frustration with this machine is the inability to make frame, colour, or sharpness adjustments while it's running and the fact that ANY stopage results in yet another file starting. I'm hoping they can be stitched together on the computer. otherwise, it'll be like looking through a stamp collection. Every now and again, I've heard it twice, this one grinds like a coffee grinder. It doesn't stop and still copies, but it sounds like it's trying to tear its guts apart. For nearly $600 in Canada, I agree with you that Kodak should be able to put their name to a better product. But the Kodak company went the way of the dodos, so I'm sure it's just a licence agreement with whichever Chinese company is churning these out by the thousand. Thanks for your report/rant.

There is always an EC putting on the runs. According to the rulebook, flags are recommended but not mandatory. Typically, the EC will require them though. I've never been on a run where flags were not required.

These devices are about all there is for the consumer. There's several brands out there, but they're all the same unit just with different brand names. Pay your money and take your chances. There are companies that you can send your movies to and they will transfer them for you. I have no idea what that would cost though. I bought a Magnasonic after the Kodak and it has been pretty good so far.

This is such a neat little line. I pretty much drive it every other Thursday because I have quite a few customers along this. I love seeing the old Conrail unit in Lavonia. Also I don't know if you saw the covered hopper on its side right before you come into Martin on the left heading NB. I don't know if they had any detailment and left it or what. Also I'm assuming all the cars that are stored along this line are owned by NS still?

I don't know who all the stored cars belong to. They are the main money makers though. I wish they would clear the line to Hartwell, that is such a scenic stretch of rail. I think all the derailed cars have been removed now. The wreck at Eastanollee has finally been cleaned up.
