What Blues artist is on your video? That sound is amazing!

What a great video!

I was born and raised in this area. In fact I went to Martin High School. Played sports also, I was a Purple Flash! Know this area well have driven these roads many times. My brother worked for the railroad at the Martin yard. Love this country.

Thank you miners and train crew for keeping the coal moving.

That lot locomotives sitting in that yard love those CSX and Norfolk southern locomotives is those in still service I know half of them not in use

That was cool to watch,, thanks

As of this morning 1/20/25 the Slide area has been repaired and the Big Sandy is open. First train was thru the area around 0900hrs

Love to see a local channel putting content out here. This is about 2 miles from me!

That could have been catastrophic had a train struck that especially at night in the river fog with reduced visibility. Great video as always!

did it damage the tracks?

Shouldn't take them too long to clean it up, awesome video buddy

Those are sure some huge rocks

Dig that intro!!! Great video! Thanks for sharing

This is awesome! I’ve got 2 uncles work up there at the loadout. Ones their mechanic/loader operator. You can see him there at 16:30! The other hauls slate in a rock truck for them. It’s cool to see that they’re apart of this process!

The soundtrack is so apropos considering the venue & subject matter.

Fascinating! This is the best view I've had of coal hoppers loading, very basic to our economy.

This is fantastic work! And I love that you made this. I build routes on Trainz 22, so whenever I get to the point of building a coal loadout area, this is fantastic to have as a base for operations on it.

Great video.

Wife #2 was from Beckly West Virginia, been up there a few times looking at at the coal loaders watching the trains get loaded with coal in person, till this day I can watch trains get loaded up all day

Great seeing tubby on the side of all these cars.

THIS GUY IS VERY GOOD---far better than most train channels

Great video man, enjoyed it, is there a state road to run close by to the tracks to follow? Thanks for posting

This video was very well done, with a great soundtrack. Thank you for sharing this with us

One of my first cousins loaded trains just about his whole life until he retired a few years ago . As far as I know the last time he worked was over around Pikeville somewhere but not sure the name of the job .

what camera do you use ??

I went to college in Barbourville 20 years ago... It is a beautiful part of the country that easily gets overlooked due to the poverty.

When was this filmed? Great video!

Great video!😊

Beautiful country. All of eastern Kentucky is.

I have seen plenty of coal trains but have never seen how they are loaded.

Electric Car Fuel

Thanks for putting this up.

Does it take 5 hours for 100 cars?

Very interesting video.

Wonderful Great Catch especially that CSX 1827 B&O HU & Great and Interesting video

Very nice video, LIKE

very nice Palfinger crane on that truck

i like coal trains

Been burning coal to heat the house for four decades. Best fuel for the money and heat output. Your video was a look into how it's transported by rail. Wonder if that is chestnut coal they're loading or a larger size. Thanks for the video and Happy New Year.

Very nice.

This may be a dumb question but couldn't the loco have some type of plow or blade on the front that would enable it to push some small to mid sized brush or trees out of its way and keep moving? Obvi he'd have to go very slow but it's not a question of power right? I mean they plow snow with them right?

Well done!

Thanks. I was interested as I used to haul coal from the railroad up the hill to the college power plant when I was in college. The college had its own siding and sand would come in on it also. We had to open the hopper doors by hand and when the first part of the car was empty, we had to move it down the siding, almost always by hand. The siding had a derailer before it reached the main line as the main line was pretty busy. Watering down the coal was mentioned. Normally, that was nice. However, in the winter, the water would freeze and we would have to break the coal and ice combination out of the bottom by hand. It was a lot easier to load that train than it was for us to unload a single car. The siding had a hopper under it that the coal/sand fell into and then went up a conveyor belt to the trucks. We had to clean up the sand really well as it would mess up the power plant if it was in the coal. The sand would also freeze in the winter. In the summer, we would "stockpile" the coal on the college and then load it with either a coal loader or front end bucket loader in the trucks in the winter because it was used faster than we could haul it up from the railroad. I also learned about demurrage for railroad cars as the college hated paying it and we would often work long days to empty the cars. I couldn't do it any more. Coal was easier than sand in the summer as a lot more of the load would go out the hopper doors without having to get in the car and pushing into the hopper doors. Coal would empty 2/3 or 3/4 by itself, sand, on a good day was about 30 percent. We used sledges to break the ice above the open doors in the winter. Sometimes, we had to use sledges to open the doors in the winter. We also would use bars and pound them into the sand/coal when it was frozen to break off chunks that could go through the doors. If you had to hold a bar a lot, your fingers would ache. Oh well, it wasn't bad when I was young and dumb.

Well done. I enjoyed the sound track as well.

Please post any you have of Shelby Yard. My daddy loves to watch videos of Shelby yard. Most of what I find are very short with limited activity. Thank you for what you do!

*Does that dust controller have "Elmers Glue" in it?...*
