I like watching those videos on trains

You’re right about 8429’s K5LA. Absolutely amazing tuning! Fantastic compilation! I will never get tired of the Broadway Limited with the mixed cast P5A. That is such a good clip with some of the best distant audio I have ever heard.

386 on the Dec 2nd clip, 357 leading on the last!!, Back when the Broadway was a high priority mail train , Chief being the other.

Back when you could run an engine and be the engineer you were trained to be! Man I miss these days.

Such a great collection as always. Also that RS5T Doppler at 20:44 was absolutely perfect Edit: Watched further and also heard that beautiful K5H at 42:22

Appreciate it! Yeah, it does not seem too long ago (at least to me) that K5H's were everywhere.

@@wmuzeke I probably heard a lot of them when I was a kid, just didn't quite pay attention to different horns back then. I'm about 90% sure I remember hearing one some evening in 2004 that sounded exactly like the one I timestamped, on what might've been an NS B32-8. I just remember it sounding particularly eerie

I'm lost for words.....Seeing this line in the pre Conrail merger days and before the line being re-double tracked for the massive traffic increase after the fact. Wish I could have seen this in it's classic B&O signaled form. How many trains ran along this stretch of the B&O back then before the Conrail merger? The R138 pig trains and Amtrak 41 seem to be pretty on spot meeting east of Milford Jct at the same spot back most days from your footage it seems. Something you won't see much of these days on any railroad. Great footage! Really enjoyed finding and seeing this! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for chiming in. R138 was one of CSX's top priority trains back then so it was mostly in the same spot, same time each day. It was probably more on-time than #41. As far as the pre-merger traffic, in the mid-1980s during the Chessie years, the B&O was dead - maybe 8 trains per day. It picked up a few more trains when Soo Line added 2 trains to the line in 1986 and then 3-4 more trains were added when CSX abandoned the C&O of Indiana through Peru. Around the time of this video, I'd say there were maybe 15 trains per day. When CSX got the RF&P more traffic was added. In the few years before the merger, it was pretty busy - so busy that I can remember around 1995 or so there was nearly always a meet happening at Milford Jct. I have videos on the B&O main dating back to 1986 on here where you can see the Soo Line trains I mentioned, the ex-C&O trains, etc. Thanks again for the comments!

Nice Video! And also, What is CSX 301 K5LA? On 17:21 what type is it? It sounds beautiful.

@wmuzeke Жыл бұрын

It's a K5LAR24. In that example you are hearing it just a few months old, too.

i love seeing all the fallen flag rail cars on these trains. Chessie colors. Wonderful

When I saw those first two CSX moves that you had there at Milford Jct. I thought, hmmm, those look familiar. I checked my slides and sure enough, I caught those trains myself a bit further down the line at Garrett. That B30-7 with the yellow-nose paint was the first engine I caught in that new paint scheme.

@wmuzeke Жыл бұрын

Same here with the B30-7. Nice you were out on the same day. I'd like to see those shots of yours.

Of interest, during this time CSX would be leasing 16 newly rebuilt locomotives from Morrison Knudsen letter MPI during their power shrotage in early to mid 1990. Along with 50 Santa Fe C30-7'S on lease from General Electric.
