Cab Ride on the Aberdeen, Carolina & Western Railway: Part 2 of 3

[@ottoroth9377]

Another part of the work force most people will ever see without videos like this..interesting

[@bradfordthompson8326]

It be a fun Form of income for Short lines Railways...Charge for Cabs rides or a dome cars etc on a mixed Freight trains locals

[@FNGFASHA]

Very true. But this was not the norm. The RR normally runs at night. Do really understand that, but they do.

[@bradfordthompson8326]

Yes but Acn have beautiful wine color passengers cars too...Where they ever run excursions or a Operators.....You two filmed those cars ....WoW ...Are they only met as Business Cars......This ra are on a beautiful trackage

[@ericoxner326]

They go through Mint Hill NC.Saw a few trains there.They have come a long way. From GP40 to lease CSX CW44CW and SD50-3 and a few SD60M exCN.Even seen some long trains.I also like the F units and E units.

[@tommybrill9107]

The “Broom’s Lead” may not be in a few years. I think the city wants to turn it into a rail trail and have the trains go farther down the NS mainline and turn off somewhere near Anderson St. to connect up with the ACWR again.

[@canoesino9290]

Superb!

[@FNGFASHA]

Highly anticipated second part of this series!!!!

[@davcolli]

I live not too far from Midland, and I have railfanned this area for years. It is awesome to see all of this from the cab. I also really enjoyed part 1. Thanks for posting, much appreciated!

[@elektrosoundwave]

11:58 is where you can see the former R-Line lead through Uptown It's what the city used for the Lynx line.

[@vettebecker1]

NS can use the old intermodel yard now for the RBBB when it comes to town, it would keep the yard clear.

[@adam62060]

Awesome yard action!!

[@dejohdenny2870]

Just found your videos. Very enjoyable. Followed the run on Google Maps.

[@FNGFASHA]

Ty

[@danielkennedy1524]

Great video! Why was intermodal moved out to airport?

[@FNGFASHA]

Daniel Kennedy the old yard was on the same property of the regulator yard, which in in downtown Charlotte and highly congested with vehicular traffic. With a grant, thet were able to create an inland port.

[@bradfordthompson8326]

Could Aberdeen reopen that old INTERMOBILE yard again (In 2019 wash and Oregon has federal grants to start truck to rail Transloads Facilities ....shorelines have that neat we will run a trains... attitude......This SHORTLINE is neat

[@FNGFASHA]

Probably not. Since NS has the large intermodal yard at the airport. But they have a nice trans load operation in oakboro NC now.

[@ericoxner326]

​@@FNGFASHAI got lost near the airport.And crossed over that yard by bridge.Looked like a near operation.I have family that lived near CSX yard in Charlotte.I was there by a store.And walked up to a waiting train. Engineer invited up into the locomomotive.Turned out to be the first dash 9 locoomotives.He was headed to Hamlet NC.I live in Monroe NC BTW.

[@isaiahlilly7678]

Do you know what radio frequency he was using entering the Charlotte yard?

[@FNGFASHA]

I do not. I use a app called scanner radio on my android phone. I select Norfolk Southern Railroad on the app.

[@timday5400]

Enjoyed pics very much.One suggestion when you put readable son screen, leave them on a longer,please us old foggys don't read as fast.k?

[@FNGFASHA]

Good advise Tim, will do :-)

[@pauledstock225]

What is a "slug?" Is a kind of tender for the engine, or is it powered?

[@FNGFASHA]

The NS locomotive # 927 you see in the video at time mark 36:42 is a slug. A powered locomotive, that does not have a cab on it. It has to be controlled remotely or when attached to another locomotive.

[@pauledstock225]

Thanks, bud. My house and I do, too.

[@elektrosoundwave]

Here's a pic of that Conrail GP in it's Penn Central colors as PC 8046 wwwDOTrrpicturearchivesDOTnet/showPicture.aspx?id=3261537

[@FNGFASHA]

Life changes.. we still do videos, but more larger historic areas.

[@MrCsxtrain]

What is the deal with the NS Intermodal Yard?

[@FNGFASHA]

+MrCsxtrain The intermodal yard was moved to the Charlotte airport between two runways, too give it more space. I have two videos of it, here is one I took from an airplane window: Charlotte Norfolk Southern Intermodel from the Air... and this one from the ground: Railfanning the Norfolk Southern Intermodal Yard Under an agreement with Federal Government and the US Port Authority, NS is renting space between two runways, it is really cool! The taxi lanes for one runway goes over the intermodal rails. The old yard is being turned into a hub that will service Amtrak, CATS commuter trains and buses.

[@MrCsxtrain]

FNGFASHA Productions Okay Thanks for Sharing!
