[8a][4k] Trains in Fall on the CSX Abbeville Subdivision, GA 10/23-26/2024

[@mikehowey4869]

It's been a warm very dry autumn up here in KY as well. Never ceases to amaze me how so few locos can start and move that much tonnage. The coal train was a really cool catch!!

[@mbmars01]

I know, it's amazing, but 4,400 hp is a lot. Yeah, I like to watch heavy coal trains.

[@Zsolti0NYM]

I like the second location, where we can see a long stretch of track. It looks like a real rollercoaster there, up and down all the way. The trains are cool here, lots of nifty CSX blues. The weather was indeed perfect every day, so no wonder you went out and captured these iron horses for us. Thanks for the quality entertainment.

[@mbmars01]

Statham is a great spot. The only unfortunate thing is that the highway runs very close to the track. There's just a tiny bit of space to stop and shoot from. The weather was gorgeous. Good you enjoyed the video!

Good variety in this one. Signal knockdown capture. Plenty of horn salute bonuses. Playing catch-up. Will watch the new video later.

[@mbmars01]

There's a special horn salute in the new video :)

[@AndreiTupolev]

I love those long shots thru the heat haze. The coal train was moving nice and slowly to be able to keep up with it!

[@mbmars01]

Great you like these shots. It's been quite warm thru October; one can see it in the shots.

[@Rob-tr1st]

Definitely agree with ya! Those are freaking awesome!

Great to have you back. It's been a long time. Another Great video. Keep them coming.

[@mbmars01]

Thanks, good to have you here!

[@Rob-tr1st]

Those long landscape shots are absolutely amazing and really dont show how quickly those locomotives are moving until they are right on ya!

[@mbmars01]

Indeed. This makes it dangerous for folks who think trains are slower than they actually are and want to outrun them.

@mbmars01 ur welcome watching your videos and the falcons give me the feeling of being down there

[@phuchoanggia8499]

The video releasing rate is fast! By the way, I'm still here, waiting for you to catch some MONSTER trains 😅

[@mbmars01]

Lol. I haven't seen a "monster train" in a while.

[@jordanthurston36]

When I used to live in Watertown NY I seen a empty military flatcar train the power was interesting it was a slug set leading with a ge trailing

[@mbmars01]

I learned that crews like slugs lead, because they don't have a a prime mover and therefore the ride is smoother.

[@jordanthurston36]

@mbmars01 it was awesome and cool at the same time

Que bonitos carros paseando con csxt 😂😂😂😂

Lol

[@Gwinnettrailfan]

Good question, how many CSX trains go through the Abbeville Sub?

[@mbmars01]

Maybe 5 on average per day; 4 scheduled ones and the occasional random trains. Plus the locals.

[@Nthuziast]

did you catch 1976 that was on e319 and c319

[@mbmars01]

Nope, both came through after dark.

[@lyricof3003]

U ever think about coming to new Jersey?

[@mbmars01]

I've already been to NJ :)

[@louispaparella5766]

I guess double tracking is too expensive?

[@mbmars01]

It's been the other way around. Many lines were initially double-tracked because of passenger service, but at many places the second track was removed later when railroads became freight only. More track means more expensive maintenance and I think taxes railroads have to pay also depend on overall track miles.

[@louispaparella5766]

@@mbmars01 Thx

[@louispaparella5766]

Are you back? Or was I gone?

[@mbmars01]

I think we both were never gone :)

[@corduerorose9747]

CSX is too cheap to put electric rxr crossing signals in that street 😒 9:50

[@mbmars01]

There are still a lot of unprotected crossings here, but these roads are rarely frequented. I haven't heard of any accidents in a long time.

Thank you very much!
