This video was fantastic! One of the best I've seen in a long time.Thanks! Hans.

I appreciate it! It was a lot of fun chasing them to make the video.

Wow is all I can say. I live near Cowen which used to be humming with trains and now it is nothing. I love to see trains on this line.

[@peterandben]

I've heard some rumors of a mine in that area opening up in the future...but nothing concrete. Here's hoping, it's a very cool area!

Great video!! Those 3 Geeps are really working! Love the sounds in the video. Sad news about the CPL's

[@biskit84]

Outstanding!

[@Hail2Pitt412]

Peter, great video! Hell of a show watching them come up off the Pickens Sub onto the main there, equally as impressive with the climb up at Smith Summit. A fun railroad!

[@railbaron9]

Great videos guys. Beech mountain is quite long drive.

[@peterandben]

It certainly was…but well worth it!
