A -# 1 my friend. Close-ups of the wheels,spectacular! Don't ever retire from doing what you Love because it shows in every video you post. Thanks for the Share!

[@mbmars01]

Thank you. Lol, that's funny. I have a "real" job and videoing trains is just a hobby. I'll try my best not to retire from the latter soon ;)

[@phuchoanggia8499]

CSX Abbeville Subdivision is a LEGENDARY RAILFANNING SPOT! It is the spot that brings me to your channel. Now it still gives me many good old memories of old trains like Q616, Q667, Q676, .... Also the 7777 CSX locomotive reminds me of the runaway CSX 8888 train LOL :))

[@mbmars01]

Yeah, it once was a great line to railfan.

[@danachappell3861]

Your segment in the rain: fantastic!! Free shower included in it. ;) Totally fantastic work all through your video. Thank you for taking the time (and the free shower) to show us these beautiful trains, and the loads they carry. :)

[@mbmars01]

Thank you so much. I'm happy you like it. I couldn't believe that Q210 with this rare KCS/CSX/UP came through during this very short squall. Since you never know if you get a second chance, I had to endure the rain lol.

[@roballen5670]

Another great vid. Great catch of that EMD LASHUP. EMD RULES!!

[@mbmars01]

Thank you! It's nice to see EMD power like this. Doesn't happen often anymore.

[@philliplee980]

awesome power and lashup's. awesome catches. sweet KCS, CSX & UP nice.

[@mbmars01]

Thanks! I was also happy with the awesome catches, but not so much with the weather and filming conditions...

[@philliplee980]

your welcome

[@jamesmark782]

Appreciate you're touching it out in the rain!

[@mbmars01]

No doubt, this was rather special!

[@tom-and-mom]

Good job! I like it when the KCSM ES44AC and the CSX SD40-3 have to be deleted from Q210-01! This was my favorite part from this video.

[@mbmars01]

It was also something unexpected. Q210 has typically only two engines.

[@iusetano]

I love watching your adventures in rail fanning. That shot in the rain was awesome. Great catches. Excellent video.

[@mbmars01]

Haha, the rain was wet, but I agree it was worth it. Footage that one doesn't get to see every day. Initially, I was upset that the rare event of catching a KCS leader here was almost obscured by the downpour, but fortunately I got a second and third chance under better conditions.

[@kjames1551]

Mbmars you still at it.railfan for life.

[@mbmars01]

Haha, kind of... I just like watching trains, that's true.

[@mikehowey4869]

Super video! No headlight or ditch lights on KCS unit? Great catch of the military train.appreciate you standing in the rain!☺

[@mbmars01]

Thanks. Well, I try to avoid standing in the rain, but this was an interesting opportunity that I didn't want to miss lol.

[@oldtown6240]

Always enjoyable. Caught that rare railwhale - 6 axle tank car around 16:40.

[@mbmars01]

Lol, that's right, although these tankers are a common sight on this line.

[@MrCsxtrain]

I’m back!!! Another awesome video, mbmars01! Keep up the excellent work and videos!

[@mbmars01]

Cool, I'm glad you this new episode.

[@Nicola636128]

Great video, great catches; interesting the first train.

[@mbmars01]

Cool, thank you.

[@jamestally4612]

Good stuff man🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔💀👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽🔔🔕🔕🔕🔕💢💢🔕💀💀👽💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀🙊🙊😃🙊📢🔔💀🔔🔔🙊📢

[@mbmars01]

Thanks!

[@joshswarens9409]

great video. Loved the KSC scheme

[@mbmars01]

I can imagine. Many railfans like the KCS belle scheme.

[@jleveille2]

MBMARS you’re going to laugh at this I watched this video waiting on jury duty. I loved the shots in the rain thanks for being tough for us rail fans. The power move 7777 did not make sense then again CSX has done weird stuff. Thanks for your video I deeply appreciate your work. Please take the best of care

[@mbmars01]

Yea, that's funny :) I'm always curious to learn where friends of this channel watch these videos.

[@kjames1551]

Railroad are the main source for moving military equipment.

[@fatfluffycat8973]

I love the KCS paint scheme.

[@mbmars01]

I also like it - I think most railfans do.

[@tom-and-mom]

As a result, it became S210-01 a only powermove.

[@Jacobkorowin4014]

Great video. Cool shots

[@mbmars01]

Thanks!

[@toddfeldpausch9489]

Awesome stuff! Keep up the good work.

[@mbmars01]

Great, thanks!

[@kgirl4078]

Throughly enjoyed watching your vid, excellent, from a new sub :-))

[@mbmars01]

Awesome, thank you very much. I'm happy you enjoyed it!

[@captainedster6418]

Congratulations on 9k subs

[@mbmars01]

Cool, thank you.

[@danielsprowl1998]

Great video bud. Catching that Bridge Unit was great. Getting one of the rare SD70M's and leading no less. Man you on a roll. Had the SD70MAC #4729 as a leader on a Duke Power train for Brice NC here not long ago. Did we merge with UP or something? You got a lot of variety down there. I see that both the Q58031 and Q58131 were having there rears protected by our new slim ultra light EOT's. The crew on the Q21001 needs to remember where the headlight switches are at. Those one engine lite moves suck. Only allowed 30 MPH. Well time to hit the hay. They just called another train putting me four out. Be safe out there CSX#237377.

[@mbmars01]

Well, the video is somewhat misleading as to the variety of power. Due to lacking time, I recently only went out if something interesting was supposed to show up. GE just produced its 10,000th GEVO - one has the feeling one has already seen them all, at least those in CSX paint... Hope you had a good day.

[@BorisLu]

Nice video!

[@mbmars01]

Thank you.

[@southernkentuckyrailfan9177]

Great video

[@mbmars01]

Thanks!

[@EricVinciquerra]

Amazing quality! What camera do you use?

[@mbmars01]

Thanks! I use a Panasonic WXF991 camcorder.

[@jerryandannswarens677]

great video

[@mbmars01]

Coo, thank you.

[@norfolksouthernguy9350]

wow great video you got some cool catches to

[@mbmars01]

Thanks!

[@marcosinnes5999]

Top video i like it

[@mbmars01]

Awesome, thanks.

[@kenmelrac]

Surprised to see the KCSM #4666 running without headlight or ditch lights, especially in the rain!

[@mbmars01]

Quite right! But the downpour lasted only 5 minutes, the weather got better afterwards.

[@faizan.umair2013]

I like it great work bro.!!

[@mbmars01]

Thank you!

[@KelvinHenderson]

Sweet video.

[@mbmars01]

That was quick :)

[@KelvinHenderson]

I still watching it..

[@mbmars01]

Nice!

[@dochutto]

I see some heavy CSX expense in foreign Locomotive Utilization, payback is going to be tough.

[@mbmars01]

I don't know, I currently have no actual overview of what's going on.

[@faizan.umair2013]

I like your videos!!!

[@mbmars01]

I'm glad you do! :)

[@leechristmas9770]

I never really thought about how much of our nation's military supplies are domestically transported by trains. Also, how do you find out exactly what model a train is like a Dash 8-40CW besides just watching your film for the classification beside the number?

[@mbmars01]

There are unique features that help identify the locomotives (there are good books on the market that describe the history of the loco types and these features in great detail). Also, more or less up-to-date lists of the railroad rosters on the internet help a lot.

[@leechristmas9770]

I never knew there were websites with that kind of information. Most EMDs are easy to tell what base model they are but the Dash 8 and 9 and ES, ET, AC, and CW series all look the same to me.

[@markklinefelter9263]

Super video! Breathin' in that sweet mountain air now! What is a "hot box" in ref to the detector earlier in the video?

[@mbmars01]

Thank you! I'm glad you made it! Hope that the remnants of hurricane Nate doesn't harass you now ;) Won't be as bad as Irma in Miami, though.

[@mbmars01]

Forgot to answer your question: A hot box detection typically refers to a too high temperature of a wheel, which can have been caused by a brake that wasn't properly released due to friction.

[@markklinefelter9263]

Just rain now. Raining hard. If power goes out no big deal because it's only 72 out. Nothing tops irma. That storm really strengthened my constitution!

[@mbmars01]

Haha, I can imagine. Enough is enough. East of Atlanta we haven't yet felt any Nate effects other than light rain.

[@mrtroybilt7551]

why so many union pacific locomotives on csx? good video, keep them coming.

[@csxfloridafunnelrailfan3065]

mr troy bilt A lot of it is run through power, other times it is balancing power credits, other times its a straight up shortage of locomotives. Also some of these Union Pacific locomotives would be in storage anyways so there is a lot being used both on CSX and NS.

[@bradley.reim22]

Why didnt you railfan the hyrail truck? great video

[@mbmars01]

Haha, I'm not excited to see hirailers, because this typically means that no train will come by soon.

[@CTK1201]

At 19:47, I guess someone missed the missing headlight housing on the ACe 8834.

[@ethanjohnson9664]

Go to Valdosta Georgia lots of trains there

[@tom-and-mom]

10:49 LOL!

[@nwgwc]

Love your videos!!! Maybe it says somewhere, but didn't see...what are the loads in the first train with all the UP power? Thanks!

[@mbmars01]

Thanks! These were pontoon bridge parts for military use (building temporary bridges across rivers).

[@nwgwc]

Thanks! I live in Calhoun Falls, SC...don't get out too much and really like your videos of the Abbeville Sub and others in this area. What frequencies are used in the Upstate and NE GA...CSX, NS, etc? Thanks, and keep up the great job!

[@mbmars01]

I like Calhoun Falls! It's too far away to go there more often, but sometimes I do. Well, the frequencies are different on different subdivisions. For the CSX Abbeville Sub, it's 160.290 MHz for the dispatcher channel and 161.100 MHz for the road channel.

[@nwgwc]

Thanks!

[@tom-and-mom]

One more thing! I wonder why Q210's engines are being swapped.

[@mbmars01]

They were not swapped, but taken off for another train.

[@wyattbridges5553]

Hello mbmars seen any trains in Athens on Cleveland rd lately

[@mbmars01]

No; I didn't do much railfanning recently due to lack of time.

[@thebamaguy3343]

Hey I was wondering about 3rd set of trains with the 4 engines could you explain what the "hot box" is in railroad terms? thanks and god bless

[@thebamaguy3343]

thank you Mr Edwards

[@kjames1551]

Mbmars do you think hunter harrison was a good fit for csx.

[@mbmars01]

I'm lacking sufficient information to judge the overall performance of CSX. Things have changed and as an outsider it is difficult to understand the purpose of some of these changes.

[@railfansteve3053]

could you try doing just the central of GA heritage unit with the hero theme thank you if you do good day kind sir

[@mbmars01]

I don't think many people would be interested in watching such a video. Most railfans don't like it if music covers engine and horn sounds.

[@railfansteve3053]

I meant central of GA heritage unit with the hero theme intro ?

[@victoriacyunczyk]

What RR was this in the 50s?

[@mbmars01]

In the 1950s, the line was owned by the Seaboard Airline Railroad (SAL). It was a major road for passenger and freight trains to the northeast in the first half of the 20th century.

[@novastardom2689]

looks like quadruple 8 and the beast 777 had a baby, and its named CSX 7777

[@mbmars01]

Lol, that's what I thought when I saw it. Before rumors start, the engine had a crew on board when it did its lonesome move (I think...) lol. No "Crazy Sevens" runaway :P

[@SouthWye]

I caught that unit in Florida once and I thought the exact same thing. Lol

[@victoriacyunczyk]

Was it carrying hazmat?

[@SouthWye]

Yes it was! LOL

[@justinblackburn4356]
