Great video as usual. If you ever get up to the Greenville, SC area, there is a GE Gas Turbine Plant that ships oversize loads on the Carolina Piedmont RR (G&W) from Greenville to Laurens, SC, about 30 miles at 10 miles per hour. It goes through small towns and is easy to chase. It's quite a site. The catch is finding out when a shipment happens. They normally run late in the afternoon. There are other KZbin videos of this but none of your caliber.

You create a more complete trainspotter's experience showing the loads being hauled , the sounds that accompany the action and just as important, the quiet of the waiting.

@SD40Fan_Jason4 жыл бұрын
I am curious about how this is old fashioned? I've been railroading for 20 years now and have spent more time in Dark Territory than CTC. Some of the operations I worked on had routes that were a mix of both. When someone says Old-fashioned railroading, I think about the time before computers and radios when every train had a time slot. If you were fast, you would get ahead and block someone else. If you were slow you might get rear-ended! It's nothing like that today. I remember my track warrants coming with a check box that said "crew is relieved of flagging the rear of the train" meaning even on TWC if you had to stop you were responsible for flagging your train unless this box was checked.
@TrainNut854 жыл бұрын
@@SD40Fan_Jason if you paid attention to the video, one part of it at the beginning showed the one train having to wait, but there was no signal and the switch had a switch stand from the 1930s or so, plus some of the track was on jointed rail instead of welded rail. Thats what I meant by my comment plus Danny had the right idea of doing this segment to show this.

I remember when it was the Seaboard Coast Line, and for a brief part of my years the Atlantic Coast Line, hosting the South Wind north and southbound daily to/from Chicago. It also tended to run parallel with CofG trackage around Pike County and into Montgomery, AL where it connected to L&N, West Point Route/WRofA, and GM&O. I see a pattern, CSX reroutes freight traffic during main route rebuilding over low-volume lines it then rehabs for sale perhaps to boost the volume numbers and thus increase the appeal to potential purchasers.
