Chessie CSX NYS&W on the B&O Keystone sub, Broadford, PA 1988-1990

[@Mike-hi3sc]

I live above connellsville near ohiopyle and as a kid this is all I would see daily. Im 37 now. I’m modeling cville to sand patch right now with early csx and chessie. These vids are awesome

[@iusetano]

Excellent video Jack.

[@hunterriley9904]

Love these videos !hard to imagine that these were shot when i was a toddler

[@biglittlerailroad874]

You seem to have the biggest collection of railroad home movies I have ever seen

[@centraljerseyconrailinnsca5676]

Truly Awesome video! I love your videos and your look back to a time period which I feel is forgotten about in railfanning. Thank you keep up the great work.

[@1jackdk]

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. That time period is surely missed. I hope to keep posting more and more of this stuff as time permits. I have tons of it downloaded on HD's. Thanks for watching...

In those early days of CSX, I used to see a lot of Chessie and Conrail engines helping out with the CSX trains. I used to watch the freights go by in Sykesville, Md. on the old B&O line. Brings back memories! Great video!! Thanks for sharing!

[@Chessie1985]

Awesome video Jack!

[@1jackdk]

Thanks Jeff. Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for watching...

[@Chessie1985]

Your welcome!

[@danthetrainman5656]

Very nice Jack! I always love your videos and they make me wish I could go back to see these days of railroading.

Nice vid. At about the 2:22 mark, is the lead loco an SD50 or a 60? Didn't know chessie had either. The old chessie scheme still looks good.

[@1jackdk]

Thanks 25mfd. Yes its an SD50 in the lead #8560. Chessie had 43 SD50's, and they had 10 SD60's. They were sharp looking, especially in Chessie paint. Thanks for watching. Here is a picture I took of a couple of new ones at Connellsville, PA. www.flickr.com/photos/jackdk/16855719286/in/album-72157652169388769/

Nice pic of that 8626. The Chicago and northwestern purchased some SD60s for service in the powder river basin back in the late 80s. They didn't perform to well though. Coal service is brutal and it became quickly apparent that the SD60 wasn't the loco for that type of work. They moved them out in manifest freight service. That was a better fit.

[@Mumbles19852007]

I never knew the Chessie owned SD60s. Thought the last ones they bought were SD50s. I know the last locomotive the B&O marked was SD50 # 8595.

[@AntiSocialRailfanProductions]

Nice!!!!!! Back in the day when GeePs were common. I miss those days.

[@AntiSocialRailfanProductions]

PS,..love the old signal masts.

[@donconklin1770]

Hey Jack! Love this video; automatic like! No surprise to you I'm sure. Loved the NYSW power and the old Chessie's kickin' around. Keep the good 'ole videos coming Jack. Grateful to the LORD for this. God bless. -Don

[@FishplateFilms]

More fantastic stuff Jack! Not quite tier 4 compliant those old Geeps..LOL I guess after seeing all this in person, today's rail fanning seems a bit boring..LOL Where has all the fun gone? I also have a signal that I bought from work, I haven't set it up but it will go up one day. Thanks for these great clips. Cheers Gregg.

[@1jackdk]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed them. They had no idea what Tier 4 was back then LOL. Those where the days for sure. I surely don't go out as much as I did back in the 70's-80's and 90's. You are right. Everything looks the same anymore, and it gets boring. GE's have basically looked the same for decades. Thanks for watching...

[@arejay54]

More great old stuff. Thanks for uploading!

[@ShanHFernandes]

fantastic set of old videos !! Keep uploading :)

[@1jackdk]

Thanks Shan. Glad you enjoy, and keep an eye out. I will be editting more as time alows. Thanks for watching.

[@Steelers2841]

yw Jack I use to see Q375 when I live in Pittsburgh Area at the Time Q375 was a Twin Oaks(Philadelphia ) to Louisville-Osborn Yard

[@CRPULSE300]

One of those trains had a leader the looked and sounded like it got an RS5T from a seaboard unit

[@REVELLO608]

love that chessie action

[@TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

GP30 4113 didn't have long left. It was retired at Huntington by 4/1989

[@sheilasembly-crum8447]

So sad....

[@AndrewNeilFalconer]

It looked like a great number of Grand Trunk Western box cars in the second train.

[@AndrewNeilFalconer]

5 years later and many of the old 50' box cars were retired.

[@justinvoelker99]

A fantastic K5H on the NYS&W

[@floridarailfan]

Why does CSX 6594 have somebody in the cab, even though it's trailing?

[@1jackdk]

They usually deadhead crews, so they didn't have to taxi them. Thanks for watching...

[@floridarailfan]

Thanks for the info and videos

[@Steelers2841]

Classic Q375

[@1jackdk]

That it was Derrick. Loved that era. Thanks for watching...

[@trainnut2012]

Chessie doing what she did best....clawing and snorting with tonnage!

[@1jackdk]

TO BE SURE! Just gotta love it. Thanks for watching...

[@donavonrobbins1908]

Rollin' coal. Either way you look at it.
