PODCAST: CSX in Northwest Ohio
Переглядів 665 місяців тому
It's June 2023 and summer is in full swing as CSX moves the tonnage in the Buckeye State on former Baltimore and Ohio rails. Join us as we present an audio review of just some of the action over the course of our trip. Note: Most of the action is in Deshler as the Fostoria recordings had too much wind. We do recommend the Iron Triangle Park in Fostoria for great viewing of both CSX and Norfolk ...

Podcast: the J on North Mountain
Переглядів 888 місяців тому
In December 1957 O. Winston Link captured a J class locomotive on the N&W in Rural Retreat, VA hauling a train called The Pelican. This an his other recordings have become possibly the most icon recordings of steam locomotives ever made. Today we pay homage to those recordings with a trip to the old C&O as an old rival rules the rails. We present the best of our captures from Goshen to Staunton...

    Great video, I don't know if you have ever seen the RF&P Heritage unit, that's the only one I've seen, caught that one while in Folkston GA back in early March, I'm also kind of curious what RJ Corman did with the old SD40-2 and the SD40t-2's, I remember you did tell me, but silly me, I forget things easily, anyhow stay safe out there, and keep the vids coming.

    • @whiteoakrail
      @whiteoakrail Місяць тому

      I haven’t seen the RF&P yet but I’m glad you did. As for Corman engines, 7107 and 8569 left the property last year for North Carolina. 8718, the one tunnel motor they left behind, has just been sitting by the yard office in Harvey. I haven’t been out that way in a while to know if it’s still there or not. With RJ Corman starting a new operation in Texas, she may well be leaving as well but I don’t know that for sure

    • @GandAdventures
      @GandAdventures Місяць тому

      All three are gone. They kept 8718, but recently shipped it off on a local freight train bound for Texas. Me and another friend caught them rolling 8718 across the Thurmond Bridge one last time! But stay tuned… there’s a new mining operation coming to the area that may require some more locomotive power!

    • @countryroadrailproductions2008
      @countryroadrailproductions2008 Місяць тому

      @GandAdventures wait a minute, there's new mining coming to the new river area. If so, is it on the RJ corman line, or where else would it be. Cause that's the only area I can think of. 😂

      @@countryroadrailproductions2008, yes although I’m very limited as to what I can say there’s construction already underway and it is near the current Pax load out. They are wanting rail service to this new facility BUT which rail company will serve such mine is currently being debated due to lease agreements. I know permits have already been approved through the county, so it’s only a matter of when not if. I plan to make a video on it in the coming months.

      Hopefully. There is still one of the tunnel motors on the property, RJC 8718 is still sitting at the office in Harvey last I saw (last week). I don’t know when the last time is that it’s run but it’s still here. It is a crapshoot as to when they’ll be running though. I’ve come up empty several times.
