RAILROADING REELS Ep. 5 // RAHM!
Переглядів 5982 роки тому
The fifth episode of a series of short films, or reels, that show off my favorite things about railroading in Kentucky. It's fall in the Ohio River flood plain just south of Evansville (Rahm), Indiana. This stretch of CSX mainline is a part of what we call "The HD" and most southbounds will end up swapping crew in Nashville. We, on the other hand, will take a hard left just on the other side of...

Переглядів 8722 роки тому
The fourth episode of a series of short films, or reels, that show off my favorite things about railroading. This video comes from a time at CSX that morale was high and the work was plentiful. I was on a regular assignment, Q226, that took the Baltimore bound train to Indianapolis via the LIRC. Once we arrived in Indy we handed the train over to a Crestline crew and we'd hop in a taxi and come...

NEAR Zine's FIRST OUT FINAL Preview
Some of the best railroading video I have seen.
R.I.P. to the old reliable L&N, from steam to diesel, many thanks to a railroad that made it in the history books, just like all the others.😌👏👏👏👍👍✌️
When I was a kid living in Newark Delaware in the 80's these would always come through with various Chessie loco's I remember seeing the L&N pass quickly by being confused thinking it was a Seaboard Coast Line engine those two paint schemes are so close.
What did you use to film? Curious. 😅 Gopro w Chest mount? Please would like to know. 🙏
You guessed it! Only, a head mount instead of chest.
That was the funnest eras of railroading. Power lash ups from all the former lines and old rolling stock that for a time seemed to be getting extra use before it all disappeared. I lived close to the main to Chicago in southern Indiana and it was common for a few years to see them double head the trailer train to Chicago on Sunday afternoon along with many other unusual consist. 6-12 units of every name and era all mixed together, even road slugs and yard switchers thrown in for main line power. Some you would see over and over for awhile, others I'm sure may well of been on a fair well journey to the scrap yard.
Now THEY HAVE NAMED THE ARENA THE L&N STATIOM! The old L&N Building is still standing today in Louisville Kentucky!
America peaked somewhere between 55 and 65……thanks for posting
So much you can’t see anymore. Where to start?
Just got to love those old Chessie Kitten logos!
I live at the chestnut street YMCA at 10 street and chestnut and watch tou guys come thru our neighborhood
41:05 Sounds awesome
Wow! Stepping back in time!!!
Did these trains have cabooses at the end of their freights, or was it the FRED? Flashing Rear End Device?
CSX now runs L&N RAILROAD. It's so much fun to watch the history of the old Railroad Company. Started in the 1800's. Their Rail lines are still around this city. Awesome 🌝👍
Is muldroigh hill Still Double tracked?
Yes. From Bardstown Jct up the hill to just south of Elizabethtown.
By the time this video was shot to the Lebanon branch have any traffic?
Would have been a better video had it had more actual L&N trains. But still enjoyable.
5 GP16s walkin' and talkin'. and can hear the rapid chop of U18B baby boat from a mile away. Beautiful.
That is so beautiful just absolutely beautiful with the lights on the incoming train and the sunset paired with the music made me cry tears of joy
7:38 That's the Henderson Bridge over the ohio river between Evansville, IN and Henderson, KY. 2.3 miles long because of the floodplains it runs over.
they took over the Monon railroad through most of Indiana
The more I look at this and listen to it the more I love it, you have a very cool style of shooting and editing videos
Thank you! I can’t wait to get back to that magical place.
Great video! This video crew took shot at some locations I have not seen in other videos and photos on the L&N Mainline. Thanks for putting this up.
Really wish these railroads never merged
Which VHS to digital converter do you use? Great quality!
So much for guitars and banjos - it's lo-fi chillstep... and it's awesome! And great job on the vantage points and editing. Thanks for putting this up.
Cool! Thanks for putting this up.
Thanks for putting this up.
Wow! Something about just feels trippy, especially passing by Clagg Tower and moving through the trusses. The positions of the camera and the way it seems to float. Do anything special, or did you just hold the camera outside the window? Maybe it's fascinating because I've never seen a cab video over a stretch of Louisville track I've known for years. Anyways, thanks for putting this up!
Btw, you mentioned morale at CSX was at a high at the time. I know that was a couple years before PSR changed everything. Even so, as a railfan since the 90s, I've heard mostly complaints about working for CSX compared to other railroads.
I’ve read all you comments and thank you so much for writing. For this video I had the camera on a mono-pod.
Whoa! First cab video I've seen on the Henderson Sub on the long rise ascending to the bridge! Thanks for putting this up!
As long as I've been a railfan, the last thing I expected to see was a railroad video married to trip-hop ambient chill. Love it! Great work filing and putting this together! Thanks for sharing.
Whoa! Where did you get this? I know there have been L&N tribute videos, I'm thinking mainly the one released by Herron Rail, but I have not known of this. Nice! Thanks for putting this up!
An engineer I used to work with had a bunch of old VHS that I digitized for him. This was one of them.
@nearzine I really enjoyed watching this! Great job 😎 I grew up living close to the L&N RR and my Grandmother lived close in Franklin Tennessee. Thankfully the Williamson County Historical Society partnered with L&N and saved the Workers House on 3rd Avenue in Franklin. Thanks again for this video!
Lebanon Junction, I used to live there. The coal bin is still there.
really nice vid... in the early 90s i hired on as a switchman for the chicago and northwestern and worked at our janesville wis yard GM assembly plant (now demolished) ... i worked our "plant job" as a helper a few times, could never hold it regular as the foreman and helper hired on in 1966... that was one of my favorite jobs it was always cool to see the inside of that plant... however the crossings on the plant grounds were WORSE than any highway crossing i've ever seen... speed demons for real... those UAW plant workers would rawhide those new tahoes all over the plant grounds, you had to be really careful when going through those crossings... keep making these vids, brings back nice memories of fun times switching
I feel you on those rawhiders! Ford rented cops to come patrol them for every time we had to give them a switch.
I live right beside this line in Robards, KY. I also know a couple of former engineers that operated from Evansville to Nashville, TN.
Saw this at the theater in Dunsmuir, fricken good stuff! me and my homie loved the aesthetics of it!
Thank you! Glad you liked it. I was hoping to be there but wasn’t able to make the journey.
I love it that “My Old Kentucky Home” was played at the intro. At least they got that right. Cumberland Falls is actually in McCreary County, which is Southern Railway (now Norfolk Southern) territory. It has a Whitley County address. The old L&N freight and passenger depot in downtown Williamsburg still stands. CSX doesn’t run very many trains through the area any longer.
"CSX doesn’t run very many trains through the area any longer." I know CSX lost traffic on the CV and EK Subs from mines closing. But you mentioned WIlliamsburg, that's on the CC Sub. So traffic on that line has fallen, too?
Leslie RS5Ts and big tag Nathan K5LAs. Some sweet sweet sounds!
When EMD ruled the world...
Excellent footage! Boy do I miss the uniqueness and the bad ass RS5T horns with those manual values. Never thought they’d be gone. These new train horns sound like constipated cows.
Do you have "Lines into Louisville" which I think was a few years before this?
That long bridge scene at the beginning!!
Beautiful shots!
Thanks!
The faint radio chatter sounds good, adds to the mystique of riding along with y'all on this territory for the very first time.
Thank you. An intentional detail I’m glad you noticed.
Your content and production quality are top notch. Really impressive.
Thank you.
Ahhhh love elevated rail
i find it hard to believe you dont have as many views as you do. no three step for you
You don't wear railroad gloves. Nice
Awesome!!! Absolutely awesome!!!
