In 1960 when I was 7 my family moved to Chamblee and at that time Atlanta had just hit 1 million people and Chamblee had a slower paced feel. As kids we'd often sit up on a hill overlooking tracks that were behind a Pepsi facility to watch trains whizz by. We moved back North in 64 and in 2002 and again in 2015 wife and I came to Atlanta. Kind of bitter/sweet feeling when you see memories get exchanged for that new reality. Love your vids. Thanks for the memory bump.

Awesome video. I grew up in Decatur, GA and was fascinated with the trains as a child. I’m enjoying the videos. My Dad worked for MARTA and was offered the position of train operator. He turned it down because he would no longer be able to interact with passengers. He drove the bus until he was 77. Now I care for him in our home in Tennessee. He is 90 and suffers with dementia. Just as an interesting side note, he drove a bus in Atlanta and my great grandfather operated a trolley in Atlanta many years before.

The abandoned cut spur across peachtree rd went to the General Electric heavy apparatus service facility which closed in 1998 where Whole foods stands now and continued across Peachtree Blvd to the site of the former Frito-Lay(1957-1996)plant and warehouse where the Loews is now. The GE facility rebuilt heavy electric power generators and transformers.Railroad locomotive traction motors,generators and alternators.they were the prime electrical rebuilder for ICG-precision national Paducah GP rebuild program, the SCL Utica GP16 program in the late 70s and a subcontractor for Rohr/franco-belge in the mid 70s when the first order of marta transit cars were delivered doing the final assembly and set up of the trucks and running gear. The area has changed dramatically the last 30 years.

Love to see “new” rail fans out there. This beams on those centerbeams. Not entirely sure but I have seen them in my line of work in road construction. If a crane is needed. The crane must be sitting on a “pad”. These pads are typically made from those beams with heavy steel cable run through and attached at each end. To give the crane a level spot when moving different pieces of equipment around on the job site. Will

They also use them to prop up concrete forms for overpasses. Once the concrete has set, they lower jacks between the beams and the forms, then disassemble the forms. Voila! A new overpass.

Those centerbeams are loaded with what is most likely crane matting. It is used in the pipeline and utility line construction industry. I've had these cars in my trains before and a large powerline construction project next to a portion our mainline uses these to build makeshift roads across wetland for heavy equipment. Nice catch!

Those bolted 12x12s are called crane mats.... Any time your going to use a big crawler crane you put down (Crane Mats).... They spread the load out over a wider area.. But being a PileButt we use them for all kinds of things. Floats in the water so you've got something to work off of, decking trestles, spanning short gaps for pickups, concrete trucks ECT, also in the winter if it's so muddy you can't get equipment in or out we will make access road out of old mats if we've got them.....

When I was a bit younger than I am now. I and a childhood friend took a bag of coke bottles to the local tracks placed the bottle on the rail, had to be at least 10 or 15. We waited for the Atlantic Coast Line that passed most every day at the same time. This was out and that train passed at what we thought was wide open. We watched as the big engine slammed into every bottle as it by. We were amazed. On the way home down that hot dusty road on this July day. What, a big green car with Atlantic Coast Line Police on the side. Out came a man bigger than the car. Told us to get our asses in the car. He asked us who we were and where we lived. He took us both home. Well, what was next was a severe come to Jesus meeting with our fathers. I can still that glass shattering as the engine went by.

Danny, this is again another great video. Thank you for bringing your railfanning and media talents together on this. Chamblee's original name was Roswell Junction as a spur (the Roswell RR) diverged here and went to near the town of Roswell. However, this line was been gone for a century and there are few traces of it left today with the subsequent development. The crossing to nowhere mentioned in Chamblee is the remnant of a spur track that serviced the General Electric facility on McGaw Drive. In the past, it was my understanding that electric transformers were shipped here. However, the spur was unused for some time and most of it was removed for the Whole Foods development. However, there is still a derelict GE 45 ton switch engine with side rods in the back of the General Electric facility and now landlocked from the rail network. If you look on Google Earth or from McGaw Drive, you can still see it there.

I know that you’re a dedicated CSX man, but when you do return to Atlanta would you be able to do a “How NS numbers its trains” segment like you did for CSX? My local railroad collaborates heavily with NS here in the northeast but I just can’t make heads or tails on their designation scheme. Your CSX segment was beautifully and was very informative yet easy for a casual railfan like myself to understand. It would also give you the excuse to spend time in Atlanta again

@Distant Signal, no one makes better commentary train videos than you. I love every aspect of these videos and they seem like there's a lot of rail action in my town witch there isn't much. but I never get to see them. watching these is like my mainline is lit up with amazing trains from all over the U.S. Thanks for making your content on youtube.

I like that crossing to nowhere at 10:29. Last year I stayed a night just down from there. I wish I would have seen that crossing . That is unusual. There is a similar one in southern California that ends right in front of a MCDonalds. It crosses the road and goes about 15 feet but it is at the end of a wye and is needed when they have 2 locomotives to turn. The one in Chamblee looks like the siding extended further and then was cut up to the road when the customer rejected rail service.

I've been watching Ranoutonarail for over a year now. Yes, train-hopping is dangerous and illegal, but if you know what you are doing, plan in advance and are in good shape, it can make for some great videos. BTW Danny ROOAR actually hopped a tank car on his latest video from his adventure in Mexico, but he got off as soon as he could move to a better ride.

If you go up to Doraville on Buford Highway at about 730 in the morning, you will see the Amtrak train heading to the station at full speed. It took me 15 years to finally see an Amtrak roll through.

Ranout is probably going to be getting a lot if traffic from you mentioning his name. I consider him a “professional” of catching out. Hopefully the public that checks it out isn’t tempted to try it out. Those lacklustre hobos you filmed will hopefully deter any free rides:)

Always a pleasure to see your videos in the UK - a fasciating look at US railways with interesting commentary - as natural as if you were standing next to me - and beautifully filmed. I admit I had not realised that freight is so active in the US, but it is obviously the ideal mode of transport for the sort of vast distances we cannot even begin to imagine in this country. I remember a few months ago you nonchalantly referring to a 10,000-foot train as it passed; the thought of a train being nearly 2-miles long train is hard to take in! Looking foward to your next outing......

Hey Danny, Those big Timbers are crane mats. They are expensive , hard wood and used to level soft ground to park big cranes or even excavators to keep them level when working on big buildings or even pipe line jobs. With out them a crane would surly tip over. Great job and thank you. Great job. Frank

No the spur used to continue to a General Electric facility that hasn't had rail service for a while. And obviously will never again. At the GE facility behind the fence is a GE 45 tonner rusting away. There are remnants of other spurs in the area but they are quickly disappearing as Chamblee continues to transform from an industrial town to another gentrified enclave of condos and retail shops.
