NS P07 switches Carrboro NC 1/2/25

[@JawTooth]

That was awesome seeing the locomotive come up behind that restaurant on track that is sunk into the ground

[@matteng1448]

Start the video son 😂

[@TheTriangleRailfan]

@JawTooth Definitely, it’s my favorite section just because of how unique it is. This coupled with some of the track dating back to 1910 this is one unique little branch line!

[@MokkaMatti]

As opposed to comb tooth, or gear tooth?

[@paulbergen9114]

This is definitely an interesting small branch with buildings of various architecture styles and the rail down in the grass like it's going through a golf course

[@nykhkz]

i used to live right there, right off franklin street. me and my parents would always walk up to the co-op and let me run around and play in the field with some other kids back when life was good. I miss that place real bad

[@bigmansr7]

Good morning!! I just ran across this video last night. I was born and raised less than a mile from these tracks and that restaurant. Spent 58 years in this town and it was, for the most part, great. Even though this would be considered a very short line,, NS still goes back and forth on it supplying coal and concrete to 2 customers. they used to drop off center beams to Fitch Lumber company. That has stopped. Hope I can come back and visit this spring sometime and just maybe catch the train in my home town again. Very nice videos, Sir. Brings back a lot of good memories. BTW, that is VERY old track. Hope you all have a very blessed day!!

[@TheTriangleRailfan]

@bigmansr7 Thank you very much! I will say that sadly the concrete plant is no longer rail served but, some of that old rail you are talking about definitely still exists. I have found some track dating back to 1910 and the majority seems to be from 1925!

[@armandoperez7967]

It’s incredible to see a GP60 switching this branch line. These locomotives were bought in 1991 for use in intermodal service, including road railer service.

[@DTS24-DJT24]

5:28 This is why you never wait for a traffic light on the train tracks. Just wait behind the gates!!

[@TheGomes412]

Wow, great catch. There really is almost no track left at that runaround escape.

[@thebnsftracker1317]

0:53 That is totally bizarre that anything, let alone a locomotive, can go out that far on a track that literally dead ends with no signs. NOTE: I saw the comments below; I figured that this line used to go a little farther than there. Nice video!

[@toddledford9245]

I love this switching action! There is so much action beyond the normal, typical stuff. Great Video!!

[@TheTriangleRailfan]

Thank you!

[@deniseadkins7342]

Just ran across this video. I loved it. I grew up in a mill town where the railroad played a big role, I still love trains to this day! Thanks for the video, and as others have said the sound is great! 👍

[@johnpooler]

So glad to see the line is still active.

[@ltbphoto]

Had no idea they would still use the track next to the Thai place!

[@xman402]

that runaround stub is amazing

[@kishascape]

It looks so nice rolling through the grass.

[@JohnCrombossiery-p7v]

I was hoping it was going to cut some dirt. 😄

[@CentralPARailfan28]

Boy, that track looks so rough.

[@NSWLE]

Now that was awesome. It looked like that engine was going to ground out. Thanks for sharing. Dave

[@LVRR-e5f]

GP60s are a rare sight

[@andrewh.8403]

When that place says they have a large garden railway, they wouldn't be kidding...

[@thess344]

That loco sounds great!

[@arlingtontrains7]

I love that they used the overgrown tracks at 1:40

[@HarrisburgRailfanProductions]

Wow, definitely a cool catch to see a GP60 still in the THB paint scheme switching out an branch off.

[@TheTriangleRailfan]

Definitely! This branch is 4 axle power only so GP60s are actually a pretty common sight along with some other cool engines like GP38-3s.

[@TimIvins]

I'm a huge fan of these trains that ur showing

“Do not stop on tracks”🤦🏼‍♂️

[@Turbohuff]

I especially like the tone of the trumpets on this particular engine, has a gentler feel to it if that makes sense

[@tomt9543]

[@TheTriangleRailfan]

Thanks you!

[@glennsrailroading]

Need info on the coach under the roof Very cool

[@MarkNieting]

Not much in the way of continuity or knowing what is actually happening. What are the customers? What are the loads? In or Out?

[@TheTriangleRailfan]

@MarkNeiting Only one customer left which is the UNC Cogen Plant. Coal loads come in and leave empty and Coal Ash Hoppers (The white covered hoppers) come in empty and leave full. Seeing how popular this video was I hope to make a more detailed video on the operations on the line!

[@junqueboi387]

@@TheTriangleRailfan Thanks for the background. I went to Google Maps & guessed it was that plant. Man, that's a whole lot of track to maintain for that one customer -- it will be sad when they're gone. I wonder what the frequency is.

[@YOSILEO134]

Wow nice video❤❤ train locomotif ❤🎉🎉🎉

[@Mr_Camo]

Does the track just end there in the first bit before it changes to a railroad crossing, or does it continue?

[@lancereagan3046]

Was that a private residence?

[@TonyM.8542]

Good video and catch.

[@TheTriangleRailfan]

Thanks!

[@FlipperGames505]

Do you know how often P07 runs in? If I can earn a day off one day I can probably chase that thing. I haven't caught that since labor day 2023

[@TheTriangleRailfan]

@FlipperGames505 P07 runs in once or twice a week depending on how busy the university is but the days on which they run fluctuate all the time. The most common time I’ve found is Tuesday around 10am. Hope this helps and happy hunting!

[@FlipperGames505]

@@TheTriangleRailfan alright I could try. Usually it's only one engine they take out of east durham then that potentially gets reassigned onto P20 later on or a PU01 switcher another day.

[@gmftrainvideos]

[@TheTriangleRailfan]

Thanks!

[@carlbrutananadilewski3345]

Is that a rear deck of a restaurant?

[@TheTriangleRailfan]

@carlbrutananadilewski3345 Yes it’s Thai restaurant!

Is that the end of the tracks by that rear deck?

[@lockheedL1049]

@@jasonmaki2343 If you look up Thai station Restaurant on google maps you can see a good view of it. There's a tree just beyond the tracks.

[@princessofthecape2078]

Is that tail track at the former depot?

[@Arty0880]

That view @1:23 was awesome!!!

[@carolinarailfanning]

Damn, you come out of that siding a little too fast on the runaround and you're in the dirt. No wheel stops, sign, nothing.

[@bigmansr7]

That's because that track in front of the restaurant did not stop there. It serviced 2 woolen mills further down and behind Main Street. That was a very long time ago. The bar across the street was called The Sidetrack, for a good reason. Don't know if it is still there. Looking left from the restaurant track, is a big woolen mill building called Carrmill Mall. The tracks used to go in back of that building also.

[@carolinarailfanning]

Yea I figured it used to go further, I live in an area with a lot of abandoned spur. It's sad that all these industries moved to trucks when the trains are right there.

[@pjheloguy]

If you want to get some footage of the Herzog trains getting loaded and then leaving etc from sunrock.. Theres also nearly daily trains to Oxford... I have property that fronts the train track in Butner. You can get just about as close with no trees or anything in the way. Just reply here and we will figure out how to get in touch with each other.

Hey TR...if you don't have details, engine model(I saw it was a GP60 but it was only for a second, It should've been mentioned in the description) etc., you won't get a 'like' from me. You just want to stand around & shoot a train but no more...bye!
