You and Austin both are the most pettiest people I’ve ever heard of. I don’t understand the reasoning behind you two mother fuckers constantly bagging on Lucas. Yall are adults. Fucking act like it not your damn dick size. Yall are pathetic and just children. Grow the fuck up and leave the man alone. You look like you fuck your sister and Austin is just a baby back bitch. I hope to god I never see yall out cause y’all’s getting a good cussing up and down

Flared Mac at that. And unpainted too, just as she rolled out of Huntington after the rebuild

I’d love to see a restore Kanwaha wearing Virginian lettering, even if just for a photo shoot. Maybe Kentucky Steam will do that with 2716

I haven’t seen the RF&P yet but I’m glad you did. As for Corman engines, 7107 and 8569 left the property last year for North Carolina. 8718, the one tunnel motor they left behind, has just been sitting by the yard office in Harvey. I haven’t been out that way in a while to know if it’s still there or not. With RJ Corman starting a new operation in Texas, she may well be leaving as well but I don’t know that for sure

All three are gone. They kept 8718, but recently shipped it off on a local freight train bound for Texas. Me and another friend caught them rolling 8718 across the Thurmond Bridge one last time! But stay tuned… there’s a new mining operation coming to the area that may require some more locomotive power!

@GandAdventures wait a minute, there's new mining coming to the new river area. If so, is it on the RJ corman line, or where else would it be. Cause that's the only area I can think of. 😂

@@countryroadrailproductions2008, yes although I’m very limited as to what I can say there’s construction already underway and it is near the current Pax load out. They are wanting rail service to this new facility BUT which rail company will serve such mine is currently being debated due to lease agreements. I know permits have already been approved through the county, so it’s only a matter of when not if. I plan to make a video on it in the coming months.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Great meeting you as well

C&O Heritage Center. Clifton Forge, VA

@@whiteoakrail ok

I’m not sure when I’ll get it out honestly

Waiting for the next chapter of videos coming out of Thurmond and coal mine loads coming across of the bridge in Thurmond

Now that’s a heck of a first catch! Can’t wait to see that for myself

Same here!

Have a good time?

I did, I got to see many. There was a whole bunch of other people there.

Thanks!

Yessir! So happy the New River railfans got to see it!

Not quite on the VGN main. A few miles from Elmore yard on the Guyandot River Branch

Nope. It’s getting ready to load coal. You go very slow when you do that

I thought so too! Nice surprise after just stepping outside and hearing that rumble.

@@whiteoakrail where was the clip taken

@saldeck6189 summers county high school in Hinton. I had broadcasted a basketball game and was packing up when I heard it

@@whiteoakrail kool

Thank you

Hopefully. There is still one of the tunnel motors on the property, RJC 8718 is still sitting at the office in Harvey last I saw (last week). I don’t know when the last time is that it’s run but it’s still here. It is a crapshoot as to when they’ll be running though. I’ve come up empty several times.

@whiteoakrail when I was down there in August, the loaded train came off the branch just as I was coming into town, then I went back early next morning to retrieve my GoPro that I left behind and the empty train was heading up just as I cam into town again but at least I got to chase them out of town and up to Redstar

@countryroadrailproductions2008 something is always better than nothing.

@@whiteoakrail exactly

Hope you can! I’ve yet to chase them leading but they really are a sight to see. So much bigger than those tunnel motors.

It really is. With so many crossings in town it’s a prime horn location. Sometimes you can hear horns from the KNWA line across the river too

Thank you! It’s fun to film it

Thank you Jackson! Nice to meet you!

We were on different ends of the platform blocked by people getting on and off the train, otherwise I may well have picked him up when I panned with the train. I did have a chance to meet him and talk to him which I enjoyed.

Thank you!

It’s really cool to see. Wish I’d took a ride on it, maybe next time

That is strange

That had to have been a sight. A friend told me they were going down long hood forward but I couldn’t make it out that way
