Biggest Coal Train Ever! 944 Axles! DPUs Mid Train & DPU At End! Train Follows Giant Coal Train!

[@tzadik36]

A whole trainload of fossilized sunshine! Thank you!

[@paulbergen9114]

That coal train was so long the last cars had to wait for the miner's to dig out that vein from the mine. Excellent timing and location with the general freight so close behind then NS tried to replicate the length with the stack train. Best part is you didn't get the "dust off" from the coal fines like that swirlee several weeks ago.

[@leekresser8384]

At 52 feet long each, does that calculate to over 4 miles! Wow, that IS a long train. I think Austrailia is the only place with longer trains!

[@rodsmith3911]

I love that spot! Two rail lines both carrying plenty of traffic. A massive trestle across the valley and a huge through girder bridge over the river. Civil engineering at its best. With enormous trains on both lines. That has to be one of my favourite places. The big coal haul must rate as one of your best ever videos with the second train on the adjacent track making it more than just spectacular. We'll done J. T. that just worked out fine!

[@ronhood7773]

It was my first impression. How majestic

[@MAGronemeyer]

Three awesome catches in a row! Two CSX trains back to back, and a Norfolk & Southern double stack train. That first coal train had to have been the longest train I have seen in a long time. It was also cool how the other manifest train was following behind the coal train on the adjacent tracks. One of your best catches yet!

That coal train was long. My sons and I watch you every day before they go to school but this morning I watched alone. My youngest son is getting surgery today and I’m sitting waiting for him to get out. My other son is 4 1/2 and he called me from his Nana’s phone upset. He told me he missed the Trains with JT. Also we were wondering what happened to you when you did not posted. Then in your other video you told that you lost power. Keep up the good work. My sons and I enjoy your videos. Now I’m going back to praying for my son.

[@55DepotStreet]

That coal train was 3 miles long‼️🙀 At 30mph, it was 6+ minutes! 2 minutes/mile of train! Wow. What a catch Mr. Tooth! And then the chase train right behind it. The perfect spread for a crossing accident. Pray not. NOAA says warmer and drier this winter for Ohio. That’ll work. Good for railfanning! The shot of the cat’s butt at ‘the end’ was purr-fect! Great video. Thumbs up, as always. You’re hot like a furnace. Keep rolling‼️🍀🌞

[@ekimp252]

Whoever loaded those coal cars has done it a time or two.

[@stevecallaghan2466]

I was running iron ore trains with 960 axles, 240 loads in 1974, DP, when I was 27 years old. Biggest train I ever ran at the throttle was 1232 axles, 308 loads, 42,350 tons of iron ore plus 5 SD40-2s, in 1978. This in heavy grade territory in Northern Quebec and Labrador. Ran 270 loads in DP for 5 years in the 1980s. CSX is catching up with what we routinely did from 1972 onwards. Respectable length and tonnage by any measure. Good video!

[@scotty4579]

That's some fair sized trains on the Quebec iron ore railroads

[@briandye860]

That Cole train was for ever going and going. So cool.

[@dwalker1999]

That Norfolk Southern had a total of 188 (mostly double stacked) cars being led by three engines. What an epic day to be at that particular location. Good Job!!!

Good morning to all from SE Louisiana 14 Jun 22.

[@snakeyes1952]

Of all the places you've been I think that this the best place to watch trains.

[@andrewcrisp9700]

230 coal hoppers, 4 loco’s. By my calculations, around 292ft in length for the 4 loco’s, and 12,199ft for the coal hoppers. Now in the UK the length limit of freight trains is around 2,541ft or ( old school 121SLU’s [1 slu is 21foot in length ] ) so that roughly works out to a combined 593 SLU’s, or 2.36miles.. So many wheel flat spots, the W.I.L.D systems here in the UK would be having a hissy fit.

[@jimsmith9578]

Flat spots party time here lol 😂 can imagine that train here would block the network.

[@user-zt1er1uj6i]

Double head (sometimes triple) 37 on Freightliner was the biggest we'd get here in UK 🇬🇧

[@brianhickey5949]

Now that is a double coal train - lots of cars and a couple of DPUs :) That manifest was cool - 4 engines pulling a small number of cars. The stack train over the bridge had a number of 5 car articulated sets which is cool :)

[@michaelgarrity6090]

You would have thought the second train was gonna be another long one since it had four lead locomotives. Was surprised it was a rather short one.

[@MssJoanne]

Screw the train. The bridge is an engineering marvel.

[@thomasmackowiak]

Thank you for documenting these three trains in Kenova, West Virginia on 22 April 2022, Jaw Tooth! That loaded CSX coal train was certainly the longest coat train that I have ever seen on a KZbin channel. The CSX mixed freight that followed the coal train was a surprise. The Norfolk Southern intermodal train coming across the bridge from South Point, Ohio to Kenova, West Virginia and crossing above the CSX tracks where we saw the first two trains was an added bonus.

[@bobertbobert6442]

Loved that long coal train! It amazes me how much a locomotive can pull. Defies the laws of science and physics.

That coal train had a lot of cars with flat spots. And talk about big.

I noticed that too. Seems like about a third of the train had flat spots. The second train had it's share also. The maintenance dept must be on vacation. 😁

[@Nano-pj4lh]

This is a nice video! It's funny these two trains that seem to be racing! The first is really a giant! You say 944 axes, which must therefore make 236 cars. I think a car must contain about twenty tons of coal, maybe even more because the coal seems to be very packed. In total, the train must transport nearly 5,000 tons of coal. We won't be cold next winter! There is no wind and with its weight, the train does not run very fast, so no dust around, lucky for you, JT!

[@dereklent13]

Coal hoppers carry around 110 to 120 tons. 130 car coal drag is over 15,000 tons of coal. We run a train similar to this 230 load train here down the roxboro North Carolina. It has 2 engines on the headend, 3 dpu, and 2 on the rear with 210 loaded coal cars.

There were approximately 230 hopper cars, plus the four locomotives. Watching those trains in West Virginia was probably more exciting than watching other trains in Ohio. This made the first train quite long, and it deserved two more distributed power units. I bid you "Happy Railroading!

Those aluminum coal hoppers are noisy. When I was a kid, they switched from wood panel coal hoppers, to all steel. The aluminum hoppers must have reduced weight by a large magnitude over the steel hoppers. That rail was rolled the month that the great Stock Market Crash of 1929 occurred. Those were some great catches!

[@michaelgarrity6090]

Dang son, train #1 sure was a big one! Very cool that right on its tail was another train on the other track. Old George Graham, if he was heading east would have liked to hop on that IM pack. Those seem to be his favorite type trains to hitch a ride. That rail itself was historic coming out of a long gone Carnegie steel mill. It's something to think about that rail having been laid down nigh on 10O years ago and it's still in heavy use. This is an epic train watching spot. Always love to see another episode of the Chessie and Norfie show.
