Some Fallen Flags at Spartanburg Yard in 1988.

[@DASCO2136]

One thing to always think about here is this scene can never be repeated again---the U-boats seen here have been retired and scrapped as well as the SD45 on the 2nd coal train, the 2 C30-7s are probably working somewhere in South America and the GP40, SD40-2s and SD45-2 are odds are still working for CSX but have been repainted. In addition, the cabooses are also gone and its a safe bet that todays coal drags are solid aluminum hoppers consists instead of mixed company hoppers. Its all gone

[@stevie65able]

An incredible era of different schemes galore. Great reference material for model railroaders!

[@tommythomason6187]

That GE C30-7 was puffin' out some smoke!

[@thedesertdwellerfromutah4354]

It wasn't a C30-7....It was en ex Clinchfield U36C

[@tommythomason6187]

@@thedesertdwellerfromutah4354 Thanks for the info. I'm not as good at telling the GE models apart.

[@thedesertdwellerfromutah4354]

@@tommythomason6187 The U36C is a tricky one to differentiate from a C30-7 or a C36-7 because it has the same overhanging radiator so I totally umderstood how you misidentified it....

I used to see the trains from seaboard coast line to seaboard system which now part of CSX when I was younger

[@SOU5111]

Good memories for sure, and lot of variety back then too. Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching & commenting!

[@TheRancher250]

Love this video!!! Lot of classic power from the days when diesel fuel was cheap. Love seeing those old six axle GEs.

[@easyamp123]

Love the old railroad action, thanks

@DASCO2136 Yes indeed, lot of truth to what you said here. Well said! So much has changed since I shot this, and won't be repeated again. Thanks for watching & commenting!

[@SOU5111]

[@SOU5111]

@K4JW Yeah, I miss em too! Thanks!

[@SOU5111]

@stevie65able Yes, there sure was a great deal of variety in schemes still around back then. Thanks for watching & commenting!

[@moogman1978]

Great stuff Greg! Can't wait to see more.

[@SOU5111]

@rhelmod Glad you like it! Looking forward to seeing it!

[@sharkheadism]

Unusual EOT on the coal train, probably a first generation design given the time

[@brandedmcgowan9414]

The two dislikes were Chessie and Seaboard.

[@SOU5111]

Thanks! Yeah, those were some good times for seeing good stuff trackside.

[@lawbench191]

Love these videos! Great Stuff!

[@northgacub]

[@rhelmod]

Awesome! I have got to get my video up on youtube.

[@Automcanic]

@DASCO2136 I'll have to catch a company coal drag for you of CSX. I bet many of the 6 digit coal hoppers are still in service from this video!

[@dgware76]

Nice to see all those Chessie H50 hoppers in that coal drag.

[@northgacub]

SD45 8942- rebuilt to SP SD40M-2 8596. To UP 2672. Retired to lessor Sterling Rail. Stored.

[@ThumperKJFK]

LMAO LOL 7306 Seaboard thinks she is an ALCO :P
