Welcome to my channel! My name is Evans and this is a collection of my railroad videos that I have created here in my home state of South Carolina as well as many other southern states. Here, you'll find videos of Norfolk Southern Railroad, CSX Railroad, Amtrak and many short line railroads. Most of my videos are originally based in Greenville, Columbia and Charleston areas. However, I like to take trips elsewhere if I get a chance! Thanks for watching and don't forget to like, comment and subscribe! I always subscribe back! Just let me know in the comments! Be sure to check out my Facebook page: Rockfish Railfan Photography.

Carolina Piedmont Railroad: GE turbine move – The Chase from Greenville to Laurens, SC
Here in the upstate of South Carolina on this very hazy Saturday, we are at the Carolina Piedmont Division Railroad (CPDR) for their special move. Today, CPDR would haul a General Electric Gas Turbine and what looks like a large generator (I could be wrong) from GE’s plant in Greenville, SC to the CSX interchange in Laurens, SC. This video details the entire trip back south starting from Greenville and proceeding through the towns of Mauldin, Simpsonville, Fountain Inn, Gray Court before finally tying down in Laurens. This type of move doesn’t happen very often so in many ways, I was fortunate to be able to chase this and get enough of a heads up that this was going to be running. As always, enjoy!

Fun Fact: I Actually Have Seen This GSMR 1702 while rafting in the Nantahala River.
I am going on a vacation with my mom and dad coming up in September. One of our stops is Charlotte, NC. Is the W Summit Ave a good place to watch trains at? Also, is there any parking around W Summit Ave?
Great
Used to have an EMD bronze bell up until the mid 2010s.
Love you're video's dude
Norfork southern picks up those emptys late night.. sometime between 10 pm and as late as 1 am

Which way does the Tuckaseegee excursion go?
Super dangerous crossing... Virtually no way of knowing a train isn't coming up in your blind spot on the other track
Nice train video dear friend. Greetings from Bangladesh with a lot of love. New friend.
Where was the GW GP9 going?
Sadly 213 and uncle chuck were synonomous with my visits to north carolina, sadly both are gone
I admit, i would love to combine your videos in charlotte nc with 560 productions who has videos WAY back from the 1990s, his videos are AWESOME STUFF!
My god the power, I just love this video! Everything is just so damn tough! >:)
NS has retired this locomotive, but Athearn makes a very nice model of it as part of their RTR series.
At first I thought he would have to get helpers
My son and I rode on this train yesterday morning. It was good. Wish it were longer but there is so much history there! If you're into RR history than this is the ride for you
That was quick it didn't really have to take that long
The engineer's don't wave from the trains anymore, not like they did back in 1954 trackside still see those engineers 'a wa'vin.CHRIS
this is the exact train I saw on that day
