Thank you for the update. I live about 100 yards from the CSX Clinchfield Railroad in May SC. My Grandfather Retired from the Clinchfield Railroad after 45 years.I believe 1922 until december 1967.

[@blueridgerails]

@@kenbishop-y2u no problem! Thank you!

[@ABMFARM]

I am just glad to see that CSX is rebuilding the old Clinchfield....I was afraid they would just let her pass by.. Also more info needed on that documentary you mentioned when you got to Green Mountain.

[@blueridgerails]

We are for sure glad! We filmed the documentary in July of 2024, it shows the whole south end of the railroad before the flooding occurred. The title is “Modern Day Clinchfield: CSX Tackles The Blue Ridge” on our KZbin channel.

[@ABMFARM]

@@blueridgerails Thank you i live in the north end near kingsport and have watched the changes in the railroad for many years. again thank you

[@bigB6flyer]

I was up in Marshall last weekend & RJ Corman had a lot of crews working hard to fix the NS river line. I have a few pics if you want them.

[@blueridgerails]

@@bigB6flyer very cool! You can send them to [e-mail] if you would like!

[@CLsIim]

I hiked the Laurel River trail during the week to the tracks and saw an RJ Corman hi-rail dump truck and an NS hi-rail pickup following running South of Hot Springs. They couldn’t have gone much further down the line cause I heard them come back North as we were walking back. Maybe 10 minutes between.

[@bigB6flyer]

@ Where I was, just S of Walnut, they hadn’t gotten to yet.

[@teddyc.newton4874]

Good 🎥 Nathan

[@blueridgerails]

@@teddyc.newton4874 Thank you!

[@walterlangston4484]

Beena lot of rerouted trains thru here from the Blue ridge and Clitchfield subs

[@TrainBoy-fd1bp]

And M692 and M693 are Truncated at Spartanburg,SC

[@RailRoadChaserNC]

At 3:00, I suspect it should be a holdout (or hold) signal since it is lacking the number plate since that would make it intermediate instead. I do find it a bit odd though that they do not include a double colored aspect beneath the three color aspect (if this is to be a holdout signal) so that it could give a restricting aspect additionally too. Maybe the landscape of the area does not or prevents the warrant of a restricting aspect.

[@blueridgerails]

@@RailRoadChaserNC when they light it i’ll be sure to let everyone know, should be soon.

[@mshum538]

Absence of a number is called an ” absolute “ signal that is controlled by the train dispatcher…..

[@WaltANelsonPHD]

Is CSX (etc) going to raise the rail bed and bridges above the potential future flood level?

[@blueridgerails]

@@WaltANelsonPHD probably not

[@WaltANelsonPHD]

@@blueridgerails Sorry to hear that. Maybe at least some political influence can be brought to the situation without shaming the railroads.
