Gotta love the sounds of jointed rail.

[@arrowlock]

Clickety-clack!

[@RFMCabooseNP1713]

Great video.

[@caseyjones745]

Great sound recording! You picked up all of the "details", even in drone shots. Thank you.

I am a west coaster recently moved to the Pittsburgh area . My father was SP and I was lucky enough to do many coastal rides on engines and a few cabooses .I just recently got into rail fanning.

[@DelayInBlockProductions]

Welcome to the hobby!

[@jacobdubielak]

Welcome to the hobby of railfanning

[@gregginter5867]

I can’t explain it, either. It’s just interesting how such massive machines move on down the line.😂❤

[@Oklahomarailroadproductions]

@@DelayInBlockProductionsthe scenery on the heavener and Shreveport subdivisions are really nice from mountains to plateau’s to hills and rivers it’s a really good railfabbobg location and its crosses the Union Pacific wagoner subdivision in Sallisaw and the BNSF Cherokee subdivision in Missouri the best times to film the heavener subdivision is in the summer while the best time to film the Shreveport subdivision is in the fall because in the fall when the trees leaves change and the vegetation dies it makes way for some better photos in the ouachita mountains and rich mountain

[@jessejohnson6435]

Your doco style videos are perfection. The commentary is very informative and the footage in these videos is the best i've ever seen. The drone piloting skill is very impressive keep up the awesome work

[@DelayInBlockProductions]

Thank you! That means a lot!

[@dale5898]

Excellent filming as always! Ten thousand thumbs up!!!!!😊

[@kevinl4966]

Great video!! And I loved that radio traffic. Didn't understand it all but it sounds complicated.

[@DelayInBlockProductions]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@chrismartin1956]

Really enjoyed this video as I always do your others. Thanks for giving us in the Southeast a voice.

My uncle started his railroad career with the GM&O in Jackson, TN at Iselin yard just before the merger with the ICRR. That was a merger that never should have happened. The parent company of the ICG was investing money in other businesses they owned at the time, but not the railroad. That’s why their tracks got in such bad shape, causing them to loose business and causing other businesses to go out of business as they couldn’t get reliable service. When the ICG sold the mainline between Fulton, KY and Corinth, MS, that pretty much forced him to have to work out of Memphis as he did not go to work for NS. Also, PSR is nothing more than lean manufacturing for the railroads.

[@midwestrails8317]

Man, I love watching the first 45 minutes of this video. You did a fantastic job!

[@DelayInBlockProductions]

Thank you so much.

[@maryesposito899]

Those locomotives are absolutely beautiful!

[@rickdee67]

At 29:xx LOVE the drone video of the barge passing through the swing bridge! Your videos are the BEST!

[@richardwoodward3949]

Absolutely brilliant as always!! I love your channel, it’s so interesting and informative. Being an Albertan I’m fascinated by the acquisition of KCS. I hope CPKC keep the KCS livery as it’s so pretty

[@DelayInBlockProductions]

Thank you. That really means a lot!

[@John-wd5om]

This video is absolutely amazing, thank you so much for sharing 🙏

[@DelayInBlockProductions]

Absolutely, thanks for tuning in. -Drayton

[@CRSD60I]

Good catches on the old GM&O lines and nice farewell to KCS video you did here! I spent the last day following the Roodhouse and Mexico subs from Laddonia, MO to Odessa, MO and then railfanned the Pittsburg sub at Grandview, MO in the evening hours. Had good success on both lines on the final day.

[@gregginter5867]

I agree, your videos n commentary are smooth, well edited n your voice is easy to listen to…😊🎉❤

[@slave288]

Would have been great to get a KCS going over the hay 80 bridge in Vicksburg and to get a shot of the historic yard there with its still visible abandoned turntable.

[@austina9047]

An in depth video like this of the K-Line would be awesome!

[@PCBill0622]

Love the details-very good drone pilotage

[@DelayInBlockProductions]

Thanks a lot!

[@arrowlock]

Seems a bit strange, normally railroad mega mergers usually draw lots of opposition ranging from customers to other railroads, however I haven't noticed much of an uproar over the CPKC merger.

[@JackCarsonsRailroadVideos]

Looking Forward to what CPKC has in Store for their 2nd Year. Also keep up the good work

[@quintinthemississippirailfan]

Excellent video in Meridian Drayton

[@DelayInBlockProductions]

Thank you!

[@quintinthemississippirailfan]

@@DelayInBlockProductions your welcome Drayton

[@gregginter5867]

Wow, rough tracks out of Vandalia into Curryville. Locos bouncing up every 10 feet!

[@maryesposito899]

Those tankers always remind me of those old time roller skates that you had to attach to your shoes and adjust with a key! I guess it's because the tankers sit so high on their wheels.

[@Oklahomarailroadproductions]

I live around the CPKC Heavener subdivision and heard the c&o heritage unit was coming through last night but the train tied down for the night I think up in shady point since there’s a siding there

[@maryesposito899]

I love the KCS color scheme! Hate to see them go. Glad that Laddonia is still hanging in there in spite of low economy!

[@PeterHeinemann-y3c]

Die RTS hab ich als Vectron diesellok leider fehlt mir die rts Ludmila und zwei weitere aber von stadler were sie besonders cool denn ich liebe 6 achige disellok 😊

[@maryesposito899]

Wow! Wish someone would take an interest in that old depot and fix it up! We need to save all those old buildings.

[@DelayInBlockProductions]

Agreed!

[@gregginter5867]

I’m sorry but what does DPU stand for, again? I realize it refers to helper locos in mid-consist but what does the acronym represent?😊🎉❤

[@trains2057]

Double Penetration

[@niobraraterminalrailroad2709]

Gotta wonder how much longer the jointed rail will be around now.

[@DPU.proMN.IA.]

You should take the trip to Waterloo Iowa to see what could be the last of the IANR

[@drewwilder5958]

Yo why did you take down the 765 stretching her legs to Liepsic again???

[@BlackMan614]

I guess the only question is, how much money to the regulators and politicians changed hands to allow this merger to go through?

[@corbinnoble5469]

I love trains

[@gregginter5867]

One notices how pathetic the track conditions are heading into, out of n even in these RR towns! Too bad line owners don’t upgrade their lines.😮

[@jimbailey7997]

[@user-vh1uc6in7b]

[@Enjoyer.762]

Huh?

[@jacobdubielak]

Wow that's alot of galleons

[@rickdee67]

Galleons?

[@gregginter5867]

And how come wherever a RR line exists, its spaces contain debris all over the place! RR lines look like junk areas! Ugh. Clean up your sh#t, people!!😂😮

[@gregginter5867]

I suppose when an apocalypse does occur, people will be able to pick up wood n other burnable items along RR tracks for sevl months! 😂😅
