Congratulation for filming this great presentation of Chattanooga Rails in their great scenic and audio. I especially love to hear the whistles and sounds. I was in Chattanooga after returning home from Viet Nam. At that time 1968 the people treated me royally. I had the unfortunate duty of bringing back a fellow soldier and I really remember the mother and dad weeping along with me. I always always salute all military men and women. God Bless America and pray for peace. thanks again for making this fabulous train video. very appreciative of your efforts.

MB, this is awesome videography! the sounds, horns, squeals, screeches, howls each train makes its own melody. Up hill, down hill, right turn, left turn simultaneously, only trains on steel wheels and steel rails can do. You bring out the fascinating and amazing aspect of trains superbly. Keep up the great work of art.

+mbmars01 A long time ago used to drive for van service carrying NS crews. Have been in the room w/Debutts operator. Could simply be a case of CSX being slow sending a request. That's how they did it then. A light on the board would come on when CSX sent a request through the interlocking, then the operator would line them through unless an NS train was already setup. No request, no go until they do send one.

I grew up just south of Chattanooga and watching NS run. It truly is beautiful country and people that visit are amazed. At Valley Head, AL the highest point on the track from Chatt to Birmingham there is a little cafe by the tracks and a very long siding so the crews will come in for lunch or breakfast when they can. Its fun to talk to them. They say that no more than 3 consisted engines can pull or it will break the couplers. So they add in mid engines to help. This track is the best maintained track NS has and is rated the highest speed any track can get. Every crossing now has lights and gates...every one from Chatt to Bham.

At 9:30 +/- NS runs over CSX trackage between Wauhatchie, TN and Stevenson, AL. An NS predecessor purchased land for tracks roughly between those two points. Apparently seeing that the competing railroad was serious the existing track owner made a deal for joint trackage. It gave one RR more revenue and saved the other railroad the capital cost. Several parcels on the proposed line are still owned by NS.

This was filmed in June 2016. It's funny - you're not the first who thought I used a drone for part of this video. It's actually filmed from Point Park at Lookout Mountain. Crews have typically 12-hour shifts. No, many units in this 13-engine consist were brand new deliveries of Tier 4 compliant locomotives to Norfolk Southern. Most typical are 4,000 or 4,400 horsepower units. Some 6,000 hp locomotives were built for American freight service as well, but their prime movers turned out to be rather unreliable.

That's a lot of power on the point! That slug unit was cool to see. And, they just let you in their yard? I had Arizona DPS roll up on me just for being on the street in front of the BNSF yard here in Phoenix. That only happened once, which maybe means someone was just having a bad day.

I wasn't in the yard!! Everything is filmed from public ground. Thanks to the great zoom of the camcorder, I can get a close-up of activities inside, though. I feel you, BNSF is more sensitive. I just made the same experience and I didn't trespass in this case, either. They just don't like you to take pictures of their yards. It's kinda stupid, because you get yard views from all angles on google images anyway, but I don't argue and go somewhere else...

JUST OUT OF CHATTANOOGA TENNESSEE THE RAIL ROAD TRACKS ARE SO STRAIGHT AND LEVEL.BUT IN GEORGIA WELL IT IS NOE TE SAME. YOU SEE A BOW BACK TRAIN YOU KNOW WHERE IT IS.
@mbmars018 жыл бұрын
Point is - these are the same companies that manage also most of Georgia's rail traffic and some of the districts overlap anyway in Tennessee and Georgia. I don't understand what your problem with Georgia is.

9:21 right where that semi would get hit a month later with NS 8505 on point

That's absolutely right and that's beside were I stood back then when I filmed some trains! I saw actually some of those trucks using this crossing and thought that crossing gates might be a good idea here, because one really has a poor view while crossing three tracks!

Chattanooga offers beautiful scenery for both CSX and NS action. It's great to have two major railroads going through one city. Obrigado por assistir o vídeo!

13 engines? That train must be carrying ALL loaded cars along with steel or concrete weights for a crane
@mbmars017 жыл бұрын
Many of them were new engines just delivered to NS. They weren't powered.

I work as Railway station manager in Russia and I'd love immigrate to Canada and attain the same position there, one day , but I'm too old do that I think. I'm 27..... It would be so great experience!, but .....No, I don't think that actually possible... Our trains are so similar that you can't even imagine!
