[@willharris4429]

Once again the crowd goes wild. Love this stuff. That guy who came on the radio before the auto car train I love that lol.

[@mbmars01]

Cool, I'm glad you enjoy these videos.

Thank you :)

[@syahdanalwiardinsyah7821]

I love CSX 🔥👍🇮🇩

[@mbmars01]

Great!

[@seiscat1]

Totally enjoyed again!

[@mbmars01]

Nice :)

[@stlblkmn]

Cool, thank you. I'm a big kid who loves trains.

[@mbmars01]

Same here, haha! Isn't it fun? I also love watching trains and can't get enough.

[@moonspots01]

The coal train comes through where I live NW of Columbia, SC. Through Columbia to the Santee Cooper Wateree electric station in Southeast Richland county, SC. Hence, the SCWX markings on the cars. This is great stuff you have here. ☺

[@mbmars01]

Cool, thanks. I didn't know that. Thank you; I'm happy you like it.

[@haroldsmith8698]

YOU KNOW IF HILLARY HAPPENS TO BE ELECTED THIS KIND OF THING WILL COME TO A CONCLUSION NO MORE POWER STATIONS THAT USE COAL.

[@mikehowey4869]

great action!thanks for sharing.it was cool seeing the CP units!

[@mbmars01]

Thank you! Yep, it's always good to see some foreign color on this line. CP units are rare visitors. I just had wished one of them would be leading and not the CSX.

[@gstone3148]

love watching your vids and eating oreo cookies before bed there relaxing and exciting lol! those "epic" cars are quite intriguing to me! they have that miscellaneous haz mat symbol with the UN code 3432 (polychlorinated biphenyl). interesting!

[@mbmars01]

Yeah, I had checked this code as well. Everybody calls them just "waste containers", but in fact they are used for some rather hazardous material as well. I had to laugh about the cookies and wondered whether the cookies might be more exciting than the videos lol

[@gstone3148]

Ha ha ha lmao!! It makes me wonder if they have a box car full of one of those so i could snag a few lol!!!

[@mbmars01]

G stone You wish the had. Me too ;)

[@LJMaviacionffaa]

Great video! The best part of 13:12!

[@mbmars01]

Thank you!

25:44 that’s my favorite horn on any csx locomotive

[@robertcaldwell707]

mbmars, all your videos, at least the ones I have watched so far, are excellent! I've watched about 10 in the past week and one thing I love about them is what they do for my Prosperity Consciousness. Among other things, when I watch them I see money, money on the move, creative enterprise at work. I see people providing things that people want and need, and are in turn rewarded for their efforts. I see, and feel, the American Capitalist Free Enterprise System, far from perfect but still the best economic system ever, at work at its profoundest level. Thank You for your efforts in making these videos available. May health be yours, and for your loved ones, in the New Year.

[@mbmars01]

+Robert Caldwell We can only hope that the economy finds a stable level and that in turn the railroads can use some extra money for improvements. It's urgently needed in some places. Many thanks and keep watching! There are more than 250 videos on this channel. Enjoy your holidays and have a Happy New Year!

[@sowegarailproductions4089]

niice!!!! Q210 was moving!!!!!

[@mbmars01]

Haha, why so excited? Why shouldn't he have moved?

[@sowegarailproductions4089]

mbmars01 there is nothing like seeing a fast moving autorack train

[@mbmars01]

Gotcha! :)

[@RyanHatterer-Ryanns999]

Thanks to you and the E320-19, The base on my speakers blew! ;p Thank you for this awesome video!

[@mbmars01]

Oh, I'm soooo sorry ;) I admit, I had to laugh loud about your comment! I tell ya, I have already ruined several sets of speakers while editing my videos. I turn them typically very loud to get a feeling for the best audio output. Life is hard lol. Thank you, I'm glad you liked the video.

[@RyanHatterer-Ryanns999]

Ahh the speakers are a few years old. I was actually thinking about getting newer ones, and now I have one more reason. I enjoy watching your videos, they gave a since of what a day is like on the railroad, the good and the bad (Q616 for example from the other week)

[@mbmars01]

Cool, thanks! I enjoy the good days on the line more than the bad ones, of course, and I wish they would start learning some lessons to avoid those many problems. Keep watching!

[@jordanwilkison895]

great video man

[@mbmars01]

Many thanks!

[@jordanwilkison895]

your welcome

[@TimWhiteRailProductions]

Nice Job

[@mbmars01]

Cool, thanks.

[@norfolksouthernguy9350]

nice video CP is rare up in indiana to

[@mbmars01]

Thanks. Wow, I thought you have everything.

[@PaulCashman]

Wow, very uncommon to see a mid-DPU on a mixed consist train here. I've noticed most of the coal going through Auburn and Winder has been going north, which is odd because we don't exactly mine coal down in the South.

[@mbmars01]

This train was Q616 and it was abolished last year, unfortunately. The only trains with DPU are loaded coal trains here currently. All loaded coal trains go north, but they actually came from the north (IL), go south to Atlanta, and north on the Abbeville Sub to reach their destinations in SC.

[@ncplantdoctor]

Quite a CSX parade.

[@philliplee980]

very cool.

[@mbmars01]

Thanks!

[@philliplee980]

mbmars01 your welcome sir.

[@johnnyholland8765]

How long can a crew be on duty and what happens id they time out in the middle of a run?

[@mbmars01]

Crews are typically on duty for 12 hours and if they get close to the limit while still on the line, they either tie down the train in a siding and are picked up by a van or taxi. If another crew is readily available, they may perform the crew change wherever it is possible - even on the main line, if necessary. The dispatchers (and crews, of course) have always an eye on when the crew will law out.

[@johnnyholland8765]

[@michaelmartin8036]

I enjoy your videos, and I'm a frequent visitor to Elizabeth & Austell. What kind of DV camera are you using. The 4K resolution is excellent!

[@mbmars01]

Great! This video was actually filmed in HD but not in 4k. Nowadays I use a Panasonic WXF1 camcorder.

[@haroldsmith8698]

IF YOU GOT A AWITCH HERE AND YOU GOT A SWITCH THERE, SO ANY THING WOULD BE BETWEEN THE SWITCHES

[@mbmars01]

Well, crews, track inspectors, and dispatchers often refer to the room "between the switches", when they talk about sidings.

[@HeadFargo]

37:10 had the worst sounding horn ever lol

[@mbmars01]

Lol

[@haroldsmith8698]

YOU GOT A AWITCH IN WINDER GEORGIA, AND A SWITCH IN CARLTON GEORGIA THEN IT WOULD I AM SURE WOULD BE BETWEEN THE SWITCHES' IT WOULD HAVE TO BE.

[@kenmelrac]

Nice video! I hear railroaders call those who watch and film trains "foamers" (I guess their slang for foaming at the mouth in excitement), wonder if they call themselves foamers when they watch athletes or others doing their jobs?

[@mbmars01]

Well, that's understandable. But I'm glad I can say most of the crews are very friendly out here, but - as in all businesses - some people don't like to get watched when they do their work. I have never made any bad experience, though; I rather think that train crews and work crews appreciate that their often hard work is well documented in these videos.

[@kenmelrac]

My brother is a retired railroader and he uses the term. I guess they're afraid that the videos may be taken out of context and get them in trouble.

[@mbmars01]

kenmelrac Well, if you work for a railroad you know that you're exposed to people who are interested in what you do. Trains are just fascinating and many people like watching them. The advantage of a railfan is that he sees more than the crews and obviously much more than the dispatcher. Pointing out certain things can actually be quite helpful for the railroad and its operations. For example, if someone at CSX would watch my videos they could surely figure out some weak points in their system. That can finally also be good for the crews. Videos help also to build up public appreciation for the railroads and the hard work of the railroaders. I often get feedback from people who didn't have any idea about how railroads work and how tough the work of train and work crews is. It's a giving and taking and, as I said earlier, some crews really like it and others just don't care. I have never experienced that someone was upset about being filmed.

[@johnhull6363]

Csx is like the smelly kid in school...always filthy equipment compared to other lines

[@mbmars01]

Come on... It's not that bad. :)
