Seaboard System on the former Clinchfield

[@Kfinnerty127]

If anyone needs to know. This clip is from “Over, Under, Around and Through” from 1984. Great video.

[@mikel5295]

I remember seeing the SCL on the Clinchfield route in Johnson city , Tn. Good memories

[@garymckee8857]

I

[@TheMetGuy]

LOVE that RS5T horn

[@BiggHoss]

Great quality for when it was shot

[@donger11111]

I just bought a photo book of Central Florida's bone valley phosphate operations during the early 80s. It's crazy how many SCL trains operated their on a daily basis. There was something like 20 active mines and 14 processing plants during the peak of production during the 80s. Rail activity still takes place but it's only a fraction of what it once was. There's only 3 mines life, 2 which have rail operations and 3 processing plants. Really wish I could have been alive to see it at it's peak.

0:59 that is the deepest sounding Leslie I’ve ever heard, thing is a monster!

[@blacktopandsteel]

One of the best sounding horns IMO.

[@nvaa1991]

Yeah, that RS5T-RRO is beautiful.

[@haroldfannin9554]

As soon as I heard that horn,I knew this was going to be a great video!

[@TheRealJRC]

Love those LESLIE'S!!

[@gordonsnell6735]

I wish these trains were still around, I liked the horn on it 🙂🙂

[@TheGavin47]

THIS is the CRR as I remember it as an ETSU student 1986-89

[@hunterfrance9824]

Go Bucs

[@gordonsnell6735]

I remember seeing SCL then changed to Seaboard System going through Charlotte behind my grandparents house, good memories there

[@26snoopy82]

My first model train was this engine. I wish it was still running on the train tracks today not just in the 1980’s.

[@ronstrainsandmore]

Awesome video my friend used to watch the old seaboard system all the time when I was a kid in Maryville TN rolling through with a loaded train of totes as Louisville and Nashville called em lol! Actually they were just piggybacks truck trailers on flatcars tofcs! Great video my friend!!

[@omarthomas3784]

Please add the section of the tape that includes the interview with Chief Clinchfield Dispatcher Mack Mullen at Dante Yard. That man does not mess around...and this is coming from an NW guy. Classic!!

[@blacktopandsteel]

Yeah I do like the interview, esp. his dialect.

[@gordonsnell6735]

About the 1:00 mark, I like the sound of that horn, kind of reminds me of old times

[@octoberdawn1087]

So romantic... Somebody shared this with me 🥰😆

[@blacktopandsteel]

@@octoberdawn1087 thanks for watching!

[@robscott8296]

I got this route on train simulator now it’s inspires me to run my ACL and Seaboard trains i made on it

[@jackvieira5157]

I got it on train Sim world it's awesome

[@elperroazul9992]

Is this when seaboard was still a independent railroad? AKA pre CSX

[@blacktopandsteel]

CSX Monroe sub Railfan Yes it was...videi was shot in 1984.

[@elperroazul9992]

Rich Dodson ok every video i find when i type i. Seaboard systems just shows ex seaboard system locomotive that are actually owned by CSX

[@blacktopandsteel]

Seaboard era videos are difficult to find especially since that railroad name was short lived (1983-1986). Many railfans, including myself, took 35mm photos. Not many railfans used video cameras during that era.

[@BNSFTrains10]

That was taken 2 Years before would merge to become the current CSX Transportation.

[@blacktopandsteel]

Yup, it was recorded spring of 1984.

[@gordonsnell6735]

I miss seeing this railroad, since CSX took it over

[@NickintheATL]

I am just curious, what is the title of this video and who produced it?

[@blacktopandsteel]

Over, Around, and Through I believe is the title and was produced by Lasting Impressions.

[@sunnyunfunny]

seaboard took over chessie system, seaboard is now known as CSX

[@telsport]

Every time I see that church, I wonder of their services ever got "tooted"./
