The Backwards Bolt
United States
Приєднався 27 жов 2016
The bolt is now backwards! And upside down…
Anyways, a bunch of random trains I’ve seen from 2016 to the present day. Most videos are of CSX trains in Middle Tennessee, but more recently there is NS action from the Knoxville area as well. Don’t expect anything special in the quality and “editing” (or lack thereof) of my videos, we’re only here for the trains and horns.

After leaving Dalton, I decided to make one more stop at Wauhatchie when I heard M882-12 was ready to leave the yard. Then I heard 355 was heading out of town, so I set up hoping to finally get an over & under shot at Wildwood. Though it was three minutes off from the perfect shot, this was still really neat to witness for me. Also note how dirty UP 6450 already is. Location: Steele Road, Wildw...

After getting 29A at Plainville, I rushed to Calhoun to barely get beat by M280-12. I then just got ahead at Resaca where it slowed to meet M583-12, which decided last second to pull down to the signal and block my way. It also didn't help that there was a traffic jam due to a stupid pickup truck that got himself caught between a building and a tanker truck trying to make a right turn. I would ...

Upon leaving Atlanta, my goal was be able to grab the newly elected and painted heritage unit that was the TAG 4851. Despite just seeing it three days earlier, I still wanted to see it on its first run in the lead like dozens of other foamers in the region. I diverted off I-75 to Plainville and timed it out pretty well as 29A came barreling down with the best looking AC44C6M rebuild leading. Tr...

Great video man, apparently I’m told it was a missing #2 bell
Nice video of our train. The acoustics in UT's parking garage really help!
Nice catch!
Great video ,greetings 🚂👍👋
Thanks!
SAAHC is crazy
It can't get better then this
UP 6450 probably already been in the tunnel somewhere out in the west million times before making it's way out here.
Great catch awesome meet and nice video
Good morning happy holidays
Happy holidays
That’s a Third Gen (RL) K5LA on 146, which now sports a Second Gen K5LA and an EMD bell.
I been there! This deserves more views
I actually caught this guy outside of work the day before you caught it. I had just pulled up to work - and for someone who had noticed green signals at Coral Ridge, this thing sure was moving.
Also interesting - I141-12 which I caught the next day had Mid DPU which I haven’t seen on I141 in quite a long while.
Has to be a K5H or at least a K4H!
Nice BNSF leader!
They couldn't pick a better horn for this unit?
That’s what I thought
Right? TAG 80 has a P5, could’ve done that or a hybrid RL K5LLA to get the P5 feel. Even the newer Altoona built C6M’s aren’t getting P5’s
Beautiful heritage unit!
One of the best K5LAs!
Can anyone explain the precise difference between the 2nd Gen K5HL and Early Raised Letter ones?
I think the #2 or #3 is RL for “Early” RLs, but I’m not rightly sure
gee whiz maybe the sound
@RJCormanRailfan, hopefully this other comment helps
@@CSXfan4589 😂
Best K5LA train horn
Great stuff again bud! Man that horn on that NS sounded epic!
Great catches and nice video
What a machiiiine!
Great catch of a high hood. You picked some good filming locations for this video. Was that smoke or did the train displace the fog in the tunnel?
It was lingering fog in the tunnel that the train pushed out, which was then replaced with smoke
@@CSXfan4589 thanx. Great shot of it.
Great catch. I'd like to catch an LNAX train one day myself.
Good overhead approach shot through the fog at the beginning of the video.
Great video!
What days of the week does that train run?
It was typically Tuesday/Thursday currently, but I think it’s just whenever now
Sorry I gave you a thumps down
When you actually enjoy seeing an C6M lol
Is there any steep grades on the Knoxville district?
There aren’t any significant grades, the worst grades would probably be coming into east Knoxville, Ooltewah, and maybe Athens
Glad to see the new TAG 4851 HU pay you a foggy visit, and a T4 included.
What would be the reason for this ? Some sort of oversight or was 4621 going to jump off at some other point? Was the freight bad for some reason and being returned?
idk why but this makes me smile 😊
Dang the crew could have atleast gave you some bell action or something!
Dude this is almost 200 yards from my driveway, and it sounds so good when those GEs are pulling up hill heading north!!
Damn it man what a spectacular grab with those 70MAC . I wish I would have know these were rolling thru town to get some pictures!
Awesome stuff my friend. I railfan at alot of these Knoxville spots! Would like to maybe catch a few one day!
Thanks man! It’s hard to get stuff on the KD unless you have the ability to know where stuff is
That Crosby 3 chime sounds great on 154!
So this is just a Crosby 3-chime whistle?
Yep!
Awesome catches! I believe 2208 is one of the estimated 60 RDSLUG's that are being sold to LTEX by this & next month.
Probably, I’ve seen a dozen or so road slugs all going north on these 542s
958 is actually a rear DPU
Those echos at the beginning are wonderful. Great Video!
Nice shot - C759 is Clinchfield reroute traffic.
Great catches awesome chase cool capture and nice video
Great catches awesome chase and nice video

Good catch of a Georgia Power coal train. The sunlight reflecting off the power and cars really added to the video.
Funnily enough - I caught this same train empty the day after Black Friday.
Thing happened to come across my path in Winchester, KY as I waited for two hours on my way home.
Super cool! Have a good day!
Thanks, you do the same
Nice catch and sorry I’m commenting almost a year later lol.
Sounds like that K5HL has a reversed 1L.
