Switching with Dash 8s: New engines on the Nashville & Western Railroad

[@CSXRailfanBrony-ChessieDayligh]

I have saw those two units two days ago. I usually saw those three B23-7's before their retirement. I'm lucky I got to see an U23B 3901 several times in the early and 2000's.

Would love to see the industries they service???

Great video, Sam. It was so nice to meet you.

[@SamLovesTrains]

Delay In Block Productions Thanks Drayton! It was great seeing you at Dalton. Hopefully we’ll meet again.

Sad to see those 3 B23-7s leave the Nashville & Western RR… :( R.I.P. NWR #3177, NWR #4219, and NWR #4245 A new era in North America is starting soon, with passenger carriers starting to replace their old fleet with newer SC-44 chargers from Siemens. Amtrak, on the Northeast Corridor, replaced their AEM-7 fleet with 70 ACS-64s from Siemens, while the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority, also known as the 'SEPTA,' also replaced their AEM-7 fleet with newer ACS-64s from Siemens as well. With RJ Corman having to place all 3 NWR B23-7s (and the only diesels on NWR too) up for sale and sell them off to Progress Rail for scrap, the future of Nashville & Western are 2 newly-built B20-8 locomotives from the Nashville & Eastern RR. In order to finally replace the 3 B23-7s once-and-for-all on the NWR, NERR and RJ Corman worked together to build those 2 B20-8s at the Nashville, TN, shops and paint them in a CSX-inspired paint scheme with Nashville & Eastern lettering. The 2 forever units seen after the farewell to the 3 B23-7s are lettered for Nashville & Eastern, but are owned by Nashville & Western. Farewell NWR B23-7s, hello B20-8s from Nashville & Eastern (NERR).

SamLovesTrains, all 3 NWR B23-7s are now for sale!

Real nice catch of the of the B23-7s parked in the yard. That was neat watching the B20-8s doing there switching chores. Thank you for sharing this video with us!

[@SamLovesTrains]

Thomas Mackowiak Thank you!

I photographed the 5938 tied down in the Nashville & Eastern's yard at Old Hickory, TN on August 2, 2020. This was definitely one of these two's first runs on the west side of town.

[@bluegrassman3040]

Could you get a video of them using the swing bridge at Nashville?

[@SamLovesTrains]

Bluegrass Boy I was hoping to, but once they left I could not find them again.

[@RailBrothersProductions]

Hopefully a railroad museum saves one of those locomotives.

[@SuperDave30]

“WHAT YOU SAID”

[@tom-and-mom]

SamLovesTrains, what exactly happened to the Nashville & Western Railroad?

[@bluegrassman3040]

What is the industry being switched?

[@SamLovesTrains]

Taaaarail They were switching at Strategic Materials. 1035 Thompson Rd Ashland City, TN.

@@SamLovesTrains my dad would get his tractor worked on at the (at the time) Sykes Truck Repair at this grade crossing. This would have been late 80’s. I saw some hopper cars being shoved to the industry via a front-end loader one day. Never will forget that. That industry dealt with crushed glass back then. Looks like it still does.

[@darrelgibbs4898]
