[@LouisianaRailProductions]

Huge thanks to Blacklands Railroad for the opportunity! More content on these guys are in the future! Enjoy and have a great weekend y’all!

[@markjl261]

Awesome Video Bishop! One of the Best Railfan Videos on KZbin! This is why I enjoy being a Railfan/Railroader meeting other railfans and making new friends! Looking forward to your future videos, keep up the Great Work! 👍

[@LouisianaRailProductions]

Thanks for making the day the best it could be Mark! Looking forward to my next visit!

[@markjl261]

@@LouisianaRailProductions you are Very Welcome Bishop, this is my Favorite Video on KZbin! Definitely Great Work, looking forward to the Blacklands Railroad "to be Continued Series"!

[@jessicaburdell7779]

Love those good old nose light Geeps and SD's

[@LouisianaRailProductions]

Yeah I’m a big fan of nose headlights as well.

[@trapdriver7006]

Excellent informative video and it’s great seeing veteran locomotives in commercial service.👍😁😁😁🇬🇧🚂

[@tomroise9426]

Great video. Not surprised at all that Mark welcomed you aboard. He is a great guy and a true railroad professional. I will be looking for your pipe video.. Mark told me how excited he was knowing that volume was coming to the HOB… THANK YOU

[@AMPProductionsVideo]

I think This Is Now My Favorite Video You Posted!

[@LouisianaRailProductions]

One of my favorites that I have made!

[@garykcs5532]

Great job Bishop, short but sweet.

[@bradthehighwayman9956]

I live near Henderson & Overton! Just curious, when are good times to see this railroad in action? Thanks!

[@charleskimball2494]

Fantastic video! I enjoyed watching it very much. Nice presentation and informative.

[@killersopinion1829]

Hmmmmm......3814. Where have I heard that number before??? 🤔 🤔🤔🤣🤣🤣 You know I love that 201 right off the bat. Paducah rebuilds are my favorite motors. I sure miss mine. And to find out it belongs to the Garden City & Western...very interesting.

[@LouisianaRailProductions]

Perhaps a humble shortline in Louisiana? I love Paducah rebuilds as well. Honestly considering making an entire video dedicated to them.

[@danvillebelle6977]

Thanks for a great video! I live in Overton 2 blocks from the tracks and have probably seen Mike go by a time or two! :)

[@trainanswererguy8758]

Great video of the Blacklands Railroad Bishop, pal! I hope to see them one day. Also, if you're on the Speedway, be on the lookout for the IATDA2. NS 1070 leading.

[@shawnpowell5876]

Great video and tutorial of the operations of the BLACKLANDS RAILROAD! What a treat to get to TIDE along and especially meeting their Engineer! Love those old GEEPS and far as the paint colors on the LTEX I like the RED/GRAY but I think I like the BLUE/GREEN even better! I've always enjoyed switching duties on the rails and seems Trinity Asphalt is a BIG customer of the Blacklands Railroad. Thanks again for sharing your videos with us along with your time and effort and certainly enjoy them back here in DELMAR, DELAWARE!

[@kennyw6856]

I have crossed the HOB many times on 2276 and seen HOB 70 in the transload yard. I wondered what happened to it. Now I know! Thanks for introducing the operations side of HOB. I do need to get over to the depot in Henderson and see it for myself.

[@Trip0905]

I’m a bit late, but it’s sitting in the brick plant along with 201, mark says it probably won’t ever run again

[@MoodyBlue42..]

Nice documentary and a cab ride to boot!! You lucky Dawg!!

[@LouisianaRailProductions]

Appreciate it!

[@WayneAnding]

Wasn’t sure how many were aware of that line. Great job.

[@LouisianaRailProductions]

Thanks Wayne! Hopefully this spreads some awareness. Big things are in store for the HOB.

[@glennsanders6464]

Great video 😊 thanks to the HOB for letting you share this tour with us.

[@LouisianaRailProductions]

No doubt! Ran by great people!

[@tfs4499]

[@Silverfoxxee]

[@terryboldenjr.3555]

Awesome video

Thanks Terry!

[@wavesnbikes]

When LTEX 3905, 3906 and 3814 were leased to the BJRR in Mexico, the 05 and 06 got repainted as a short-lived lease by BJRR, while the 14 has a paintscheme similar to the RailTex Red worn by Central Oregon and Pacific Railroad (operation is now in Genesee Wyoming orange), after RailTex got bought out by RailAmerica, who eventually got bought by G&W. The numberboards and fonts are very similar (or maybe the same) as Canadian Pacific's.

[@haylieg2780]

Great video, and a cabarade! That is one thing I have not gotten to do yet.

[@DavidBrown-cs1tq]

You ought to come up to Gadsden AL watch Alabama and Tennessee Rivers RR (ATN) shortline. They run on former SAL/SCL, NC&StL/L&N , Family Lines then CSX It's in a L shape going back and forth between Birmingham AL and Guntersville AL . It's office and main yard is in Gadsden. Interchanges with CSX in Boyles Yd in Birmingham and NS in Gadsden

[@LouisianaRailProductions]

I got a few things on the to-do list in Bama. Definitely want to film ops there in the future.

[@jamessimms415]

@@LouisianaRailProductions Check out the Alabama Southern Railroad in Tuscaloosa, AL. It’s ex-GM& O, ex-ICG, Ex-MidSouth Rail, & ex- KCS, currently leased from KCS. HQ is in Tuscaloosa on T.Y. Rogers Ave, just off 15th Street & I-359. It runs from Artesia, MS, through Columbus, MS & Tuscaloosa; & ends in Brookwood, AL, & has trackage rights over CSX into Birmingham, AL to CSX’s Boyles Yard. Locally, it services Hanna Steel & an industrial park across the river (it has the longest trestle in the nation), Hunt Oil, GAF Asphalt Shingle plant, Nucor Steel in Holt, AL; & a warehouse in SE Tuscaloosa. Not uncommon to see unit oil trains powered by CN locomotives, KCS & CSX locomotives, plus leased units & the occasional NS units in addition to WAMX units. It has two GP 38 ‘Pulling For The Tide’ units one can see. Locally, it interchanges w/the aforementioned CSX in Brookwood & NS near the Amtrak station, KCS in Artesia, MS, Alabama Gulf RR & Columbus & Greenville in Columbus, MS, In April 2011, our EF4 tornado took down the ABS Hurricane Creek bridge.

[@garykcs5532]

Awesome local vid great job Bishop... What did they use that locomotive on the rear for??? Not a dup?? Gary

[@Kansas-Trains]

Very Interesting Railroad Brother, is this classified as a Class 2 Railroad?

[@LouisianaRailProductions]

Class 3.

[@texasandpacific610]

Glad to see some Texas branch line’s getting a second lease on life. And do you know if Bunker industries still sees service in commerce?

[@randallphifer6764]

Awesome video of the BLR! Have you thought about doing one on the Northeast Texas Connector that runs between Greenville and Mt. Pleasant Texas?

[@LouisianaRailProductions]

Yes in the future. Also need to cover the Winfield line.

[@Tony-1950]

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@LouisianaRailProductions]

Thanks Tony!

[@scottkelm7756]

Would you possibly have any video of the line running into Serepta/Cullen/Spring Hill?

[@LouisianaRailProductions]

I do need to film LAS up there. Just need to figure out the op schedule.

[@travisgober3495]

We’ve been trying to reach you about your SD40-2s extended warranty

[@trainanswererguy8758]

[@scottkelm7756]

How many days per week to they operate and what are they, please?

[@LouisianaRailProductions]
