11:04 Double-stacking is good, but quadra-stacking is much better :D Great video as always!

[@mbmars01]

Lol, thanks!

[@mikehowey4869]

I enjoyed all the different motive power.great video as usual!

[@mbmars01]

Macon is always a good spot to see a large variety of NS and sometimes foreign power. Thank you!

[@thomashobbies]

Thanks MB for another great NS video. I thought you had gone on a CSX binge for a while. I loved the detail shots like the uneven rail causing the clickety clak. Keep up the great work!!!

[@mbmars01]

I'm happy you like it. Lol, well, CSX is not a very railfan-friendly railroad currently. We clearly feel that they run way fewer trains. NS is more reliable in this regard.

[@iusetano]

Excellent video. Always great to watch your videos.

[@mbmars01]

Appreciated! :)

[@joewlos5607]

Another great one, love the slow movers.

[@mbmars01]

Thanks! I honestly prefer the fast ones as they consume less video storage space lol.

[@anscrailfanner6812]

Great shots as always! Also, looking forward to that next video with GA central!

[@mbmars01]

Thanks. It was a nice surprise to get Georgia Central that day. That's why they deserve a special video ;)

[@Nicola636128]

Great video, good catches the SD33ECO and SD70ACe-H.

[@mbmars01]

Thanks! To see the SD33ECO on the road and not in the yard was truly awesome.

[@trainmasterbond1970]

Great to see more of your handy work. I know more is on the way....

[@mbmars01]

Many thanks - glad you still like the stuff :) Yeah, I still have plenty of material for new videos. Unfortunately, production takes a lot of time.

[@philliplee980]

nice. awesome power and lashup's. sweet catches. cool horn's. awesome catch of the NS #7229 EX-SD90MAC nice.

[@mbmars01]

+Phillip Lee Thanks! NS offered indeed quite a variety of different locomotives on that day, which was great.

[@philliplee980]

i agree

[@railfanaline9956]

Nice! Another suggestion. Go to Bulls Gap, Tennessee. 3 lines (S line, Big Stone line, and A and BL lines all come together. Very busy on days!

[@mbmars01]

Yeah, I know that I need to return to TN...

[@salmanela7853]

Good to see you back East!

[@mbmars01]

Lol, it's more like the southeast :) I'd love to visit the east and northeast, but I have to find the time to do so.

[@captainedster6418]

How d'ya only have 8k subs ! You deserve lots more like 100k

[@mbmars01]

Lol, very much appreciated! KZbin keeps changing the way they promote videos continuously and the number of subscribers grows in accordance with the number of views. Times have changed. Channels that cover topics which are not trending on a mass scale are not considered interesting. Quality is not a relevant factor at all. It's like food: Good restaurants have a hard time to survive, but junk food sells very well. But I'm not complaining. This channel has thousands of loyal fans and I'm happy about it.

[@nickbarman4145]

Great video like always

[@mbmars01]

+unknown soldier I'm glad you like it, thanks.

[@danielsprowl1998]

Always is interesting watching the competition. I work out of Newell PA and have contact with many NS personal out of West Brownsville all the time. I also have a friend that's works for NS out of Mingo Jct. OH. We compare our railroads with each other's and usually get a big laugh. The longhood SD40-2 remind me of a NS detour unit train I ran years ago between Newell and New Castle. I had three ex Southern SD40-2's as power running elephant style longhood forward. One of my more interesting trips I have made in my 19 years at CSX. Keep missing in running the Citirail engines. Maybe someday. Great vid. Be safe out there. CSX#237377

[@mbmars01]

Oh I can imagine that this is interesting, but there's also a lot of cooperation and not only competition. That's why, as I think, NS seems to be somewhat worried about the changes CSX is in the process of implementing, which ultimately affect NS's operations as well. Very cool, I'm sure it was an experience to run such a consist. Something for the history books, I guess, as the SD40-2s will soon have disappeared, at least on the main roads.

[@danielsprowl1998]

mbmars01 Believe me. Both railroads watch each other so closely that it become almost comical..... almost.

[@mbmars01]

Haha, I believe it.

[@railfanaline9956]

NS 2560 has a beautiful P5!

[@jerryandannswarens677]

[@mbmars01]

+Jerry and Ann Swarens Nice, thanks.

[@dexthr3man500]

[@mbmars01]

No I don't; I'm on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram (Mab Mox). I'm very happy that you guys like the videos. If you have questions, just ask.

[@dexthr3man500]

mbmars01 look last time I'll ask you some thing can you get a Roblox thing we have a BNSF Goup we like to show were you drive for free I'll show I make trains there.

[@James_Lee_]

NS 3538 had an RS3K horn

[@phuchoanggia8499]

The 9-engine NS 322 looks so cool! How long was it?

[@mbmars01]

I don't remember. Usually, some of those engine are not on-line, but only transferred to a different location.

[@The_40_year_old-gamer]

I want to say I enjoy watching your videos on trains. I do wonder if there are any NS locomotive left that are still high hoods ?

[@mbmars01]

Thank you very much! I don't know. I have seen only one high-hood in several years, but this was some time ago.

[@MrGatesmark]

An SD33ECO! Is that a new loco or a remake of an existing platform? As always-excellent video!

[@mbmars01]

As far as I know, these were rebuilt from SD40s. Cool, thanks!

[@danielsprowl1998]

mbmars01 That's exactly what they did.

[@marcosinnes5999]

GEAT VIDEO

[@mbmars01]

Great, thanks.

[@ryanwoods5610]

Does the GC really have K5LLAs?

[@tom-and-mom]

@mbmars01 NS #6211 "Working Together For A Cleaner State: Illinois" (SD33ECO)

[@MarylandAreaRailfan]

What video editor do you use?

[@mbmars01]

In the last years I used iMovie, but recently I switched to Final Cut Pro X.

[@MarylandAreaRailfan]

mbmars01 Oh okay, thanks!

[@borisobrucicov8630]

This video I had trouble uploading it can you reboot it?

[@mbmars01]

I guess, you need to restart your browser and then try it again. I'm not aware of any problem; nobody else has reported an issue.

[@stanwilson7566]

How long you been doing videos and what got you in to it? 9/2/2017

[@mbmars01]

I took photos, like many others, for many years, but then I saw some YT videos that I liked maybe about 5 years ago. In 2013, I began producing videos and, ultimately, started this channel.

[@spacecalander]

Great the idiot engineer ruined a perfect EMD moment with the SD70 and 70M-2 with the horn at 24:20
