[@BossSpringsteen69]

That Leslie horn sounds beautiful and strong.

[@sheilasembly-crum8447]

Love the engine sound!!!

[@ThrottleJockey96]

It's weird to see myself on video, great video!

[@Chicagojoe28]

+Michael Polk Thanks dude, your famous now!

[@whiteknightcat]

+Michael Polk Thank you for posting this. I was wondering "Mike who?"

[@manolo602]

How long does this job last?.1 hour?

[@BossSpringsteen69]

I cant remember if i spotted this industry with John W. or not. We spotted the industries with a GP15. Not as exciting as using a Paducah Geep.

[@thelowmein9143]

Hi is it common practice for personnel to ride on cars like that during a push move? Also how many employees are on a typical crew? Operations fascinates mr, thank you for the video.

[@wendellparks9058]

This video clip would make a great Inglenook layout!

[@edjarolin8054]

Nice video. Do you happen to know what they receive in the covered hopper?

[@ThrottleJockey96]

Sugar is delivered in the BNSF hopper, and removed empty from Batory foods. The white hopper at the end is an empty plastic pellet hopper from Clear Lam.

[@edjarolin8054]

+Michael Polk Thanks for the info.

[@Tiredoldchannel]

+Michael Polk what are inside the tankers?

Perfeito. Isso é que é trsbalho. Rio RJ Brasil

[@therealandrewstrains]

You don't happen to have an unedited version of the vision do you? It would be interesting to see the entire switching operation from start to finish. Just a wish-list wish, but I had to ask. BTW - the video will be featured on my blog on August 10th. Thanks for the great vision. Regards

[@Chicagojoe28]

Andrew Martin Thanks! And sorry I don't. This is all of the footage that I shot that day.

[@therealandrewstrains]

No worries mate. Just wondering if you had. I'm thinking of modelling this location and extra footage would have helped in that endeavour.

[@manolo602]

Cool!. Did you build the layout of this location?. I´m a model railroader

[@therealandrewstrains]

Manolo CSX; No I've not built a layout of the location yet. But with winter racing in here in Ballarat I'm going to be moving layout building out of the garage into the house now and a smaller exhibition layout is in the works. It's a great location however. There are two posts on my blog about the location and a layout idea: huntervalleylines.wordpress.com/2015/08/10/site-seeing-august-10th/ huntervalleylines.wordpress.com/2015/09/13/site-seeing-september-13/

[@therealandrewstrains]

And it is a straightforward inglenook layout.

[@DCCSound]

Nice Leslie RS-3L there!

[@manolo602]

Great catch!. And a nice locomotive unit to model.Anyone modeled this?

[@Chicagojoe28]

Thanks!

[@whiteknightcat]

Why are the locomotive headlights off?

[@Tiredoldchannel]

it's daylight

[@whiteknightcat]

Um, no.

[@Tiredoldchannel]

whiteknightcat Oh. My mistake. I thought the only required lights in the day were ditch lights.

[@whiteknightcat]

Shane The squid films Yeah, the FRA sets the rules for all that. 49 CFR 229.125

[@BossSpringsteen69]

The headlights are on.

[@SheltonDCruz]
