587 Doubleheading With N&W 1218 Heading For Asheville NC 1989 NRHS!

6:04 6:06 If NKP 587 was Restored,This is the Whistle She would Have 6:06 Can I use Your audio Please? I’ll Credit You

Who do I contact to get permission to use this video at the Hudson NC train depot.

Absolutely love the sound of that 567D3 engine in its unrebuilt form in the gp30 2584.Awesome.

It was sad not seeing the legend icon 611 in 1989 nrhs in Asheville NC

My father worked out of Asheville some, his home terminal was Winston Salem. It was in the Carolina Division also. He would talk about how steep the mountains were. He sad in the early 1950’s the first generation diesel’s brakes were no better than the steam engines. The speed limit in places was 2-3 miles per hour.

That gives me cold Chills when that horn goes past

Southern railway was the king of railroads, I wish I got to be around and see them while they were around 😔 I’ll one day have a early ns ho scale layout and I’ll be down their all the time!

Gotta love that ole Southern & the Nathan P5 too!

This reminds me. There used to be a Southern transfer line in Atlanta that ran behind my boyhood home. I'd give anything to learn more about that line. Ran from L&N/Seaboard Coast Line Hulsey Yard in downtown Atlanta, north through Midtown and to Southern's Armour Yard in Buckhead. Was something like this line seen here, but no grades. Big trains, too, every time. Three high-hood GP9s, running short hood forward,100 cars and sometimes, an orange Seaboard caboose. It's now a Rail Trail - "The Atlanta Beltline."

Interesting to see the cabooses. They would not be around much longer.

Damn shame what the s-line has became

God-Dawg it!!!This is EXACTLY what us REAL Steam guy's want to watch. Maybe somebody could "inform" the "Nibies" into creating videos just like this, that by bringing the family along and showing the towns and/or cities on your way doesn't mean a "Flying Crap" to us. Just stick to the topic and get-rid of all other extraneous stuff...(Your KZbin hits will increase dramatically...GUARANTEED!!!

The engineers don't wave from the trains anymore, not like they did back in 1954.

I love the Ex-Southern Nathan P5 Horns, and the sound of the Electric Cummins Turbo Motor Diesel Engine!

If you listen closely, you can hear 1218's Bell At 2:16

This is amazing. 587 In all her glory Doubleheading with the 1218. The Awesome stack talk from 587 at 4:55.

That Ex-Southern!

Ah yea. Back when you could ride inside the fold of a covered hopper without being linched.

In the days of the Southern Railway, Barber was where the north and south sides of the Tobacco Train passed. They swapped engines also. Two was all they left Charlotte with and four was usually what the southbound train had. The attorney locomotives we’re needed back in WS for the locals. My father worked that job for years.

Nice video

Nice video of retro NS action!

I love branch line railroading.

Nice video! Absolutely love that ex Southern high-hood EMD GP30!

Wow! Very nice video! And very nice sounding air-horns, the old cast Nathan P3 and the Nathan P5, as well as the NS high-hood EMD’s running long-hood forward, the way it should be on NS!

Nice video! Love the classic NS Thoroughbred paint scheme, plus the Southern Railway Tuscan paint scheme!

The ole Chessie!

Ole Southern!

587 sounds familiar But why is 1218 not whistling

That was a nice engine. Never did i see that engine slip .

Hi there Rob, I'd like to use some clips from this video for an upcoming project. Credit will be given to your channel. Is this alright?

Thanks to Rob Abernethy for making the original video

Way different from today’s NS

Nice to see the last clip with the Southern gal leading!

Did you ever find the film of the Carolina & Northwestern CF7?

Geez! Living on the West Coast I sure missed out on all this. 4449 was cool, but this is the real thing.

Upsetting how mainline steam excursion operations aren’t like this anymore!

They already paired her up with 611, it was only natural 587 would get paired up with 1218 too.

NKP#587 is a beauty locomotive ever built

I love hi hoods

Do you have more from the ATW?

Love all your videos so does everyone at the museum in newton thank you for posting these!

Man do I miss these two locomotives and wow did they both have beautiful whistles!

pray for both of these to run again in the near future

Would love to see a tripleheader with 425, 587 and 611 from Roanoke, Virginia to Orlando, Florida

"Ride them while you can," a good friend of mine always says. Both of these locomotives are long cold and neither have run in years, maybe never to steam again in either case.

How many trains ran the line that time of year

Norfolk Southern East Coast Production! This is a nice classic video!

It just had to be pulled by a diesel locomotive 😒

Wow those old N&W cars
