Railfanning Spartanburg, SC 10/6/2018

I made a day trip up to Spartanburg per recommendation from an NS conductor. I got to the Spartanburg Station a little bit after 7 AM and got there in time to see NS 172 with a UP (Ex-SP) leader coming to a stop. There were brake difficulties on the first car. Later on, NS 221 came through. The action started picking up later on after NS 172 was on the move again. A little later, Evans (Rockfish Railfan Productions) came up to Spartanburg. A little before 1 PM, NS P86 came through with the conductor that recommended me to come to Spartanburg. Evans and I went to lunch at a new restaurant not far from the depot. We missed one train, but the others just kept on coming! My last train of the day was NS 28T. A little while after NS 28T passed, I headed back home. It was a great experience, and I hope to make another trip to Spartanburg one day! Enjoy! Feel free to rate, comment, and subscribe!

Miss the days when Clinchfield, Southern, Atlantic Coast Line and Piedmont & Northern, as well as The Charleston & Western Carolina were stil around, you could go from yard to yard in the 60's and see all kinds of stuff.

So beautiful video

Wow can’t believe this video was posted five years ago! I wish the action at Spartanburg was still this busy.

Nice catches dude! Lately there have been some reroutes up here in Spartanburg. A 372 mixed freight took the W line this past Tuesday. I think it was destined for Andrews Yard in Columbia and then it would take the R line. Also there was a rail train that had an NS engine with a yellow nose leading!

[@RailfanTurner]

Terrific catches!

They don't call Spartanburg the Hub City for nothing. Did you know, CSX travels right under Magnolia St? At least 24 trains passes through Spartanburg daily in a 24 hour period; both Norfolk Southern and CSX combined.

Amazing catches, Daniel! Looks like a good day for you.

[@UnknownUser-wx8bl]

Awesome!

Kinda weird seeing a x SP unit with flashing ditch lights

[@southernrailwayfan1338]

I filmed there just today
