Love the b&o when I was a kid on staten island New York, 1955 to 1962 we would hop the box cars in mariners harbor, ride to port richmond to go to Faber pool and the empier theater on Saturday then catch the train going back to new Jersey this happened every Saturday in the summer, and my uncle worked on the swing Tressel between staten island & New Jersey.

excellecnt videio and i love my swichters and cabless 1s in the video

[@charlessmileyvideos]

The switchers and cabless units made the B&O special! Super neat to see them in sets!

[@RetiredEE]

Great find!

[@charlessmileyvideos]

Thanks, we think so too the B&O was a cool railroad!

Maintenance is Important 😊

[@charlessmileyvideos]

Very important for sure, it caught up with them in the end!

[@danielhutchinson6604]

Fairmont Setouts all over the place and Maintenance Guys everywhere were a good source of Union Jobs. The ability to keep Rail Traffic moving counted on them Guys. They started to vanish with the early mergers. After 1967 when they took the Mail off the Rails, the Brill Doodlebugs began to be real scarce. Now the Small Towns that were a nice place to live have died and become hangouts for Crackheads. Progress? probably not.....

Look how clean the rail cars are without all the filthy graffiti destroying everything.

[@charlessmileyvideos]

A clean freight car with fresh paint is a joy to behold!

We are in the era if the doosh bags.

[@kelvintorrence5994]

I also liked the western Maryland s paint jobns like my Erie lackawanna , rock island Milwaukee roads also the old lines hadn't the best paint colors

[@kelvintorrence5994]

that's hadf bthe best paint jobs sorry

[@charlessmileyvideos]

@@kelvintorrence5994 WM and Erie had cool paint schemes too!

[@TigerDominic-uh1dv]

I wish 🤞 the B&O Name Would Have Stayed. 😊

[@charlessmileyvideos]

We wish they had kept their own identity as well. Always a neat railroad to see!

Love the b&o

[@danielbackley9301]

At 20:35 is a rare loco N&W 2910 (NKP 910). The only GP-35 bought by NKP and along with a P&WV GP-35 the only low nose geeps on N&W until the Mid-80s

[@charlessmileyvideos]

Wow, thanks for pointing that out! It is really different!

[@danielbackley9301]

My mistake and shame on me for it I forgot about the ex-Wabash gp-35s and the second Wabash order that came after the merger in N&W paint but with low noses as did a Wabash order for C-425s

[@LongIslandRailfanner]

I miss The Hagerstown & Fredrick Railway it's my Favorite Interurban of all time, wish i was around to see and film it along with the C&O's steam locomotives such as their Kanawha's and M1 Steam Turbine and even the Chessie System and their Diesel Roster

[@charlessmileyvideos]

Hagerstown and Fredrick was a sweet interurban for sure. You were luck to see them in action!

[@davidmorris7696]

Huntington my neck of the woods...CSX still has a big presence there with a Heavy Rebuild shop.

[@charlessmileyvideos]

Huntington was a cool neck of the woods for sure! I am certain you saw many amazing things!

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😜

[@eottoe2001]

5:43 Charles, were those units black or dark blue? I've come across photos of C&O units that were black, but I have had people pile up on me when I brought it up. Am I crazy? Well, don't answer that last question.

[@charlessmileyvideos]

Sooty coating on dark blue comes to mind. The Kodak color movie film was usually very accurate in exposure compared to junky consumer video cameras.

C&O is not the core of CSX...it was an equal merger between Chessie and Seaboard, with the two most significant (financially powerful) CSX predecessor roads arguably being Atlantic Coast Line and C&O. Also, CSX doesn't own all of the NYC's mainline....they own the eastern part (roughly east of Cleveland). NS owns it west of roughly Cleveland.
