OMG! I just found out that the fire station featured in this video was destroyed in a flood at the end of August 2023! There are several news articles and a news video telling about flooding that happened. The fire station foundation was partially washed away and the building left full of mud. It will have to be torn down and replaced. Meanwhile, the nearest fire station in Chesapeake will cover this area.
@@kennethfuller8347 I couldn't believe it when I accidentally found it. I was looking for information on the memorial next to the railroad and stumbled across news accounts and video of the poor station getting flooded. It has to be torn down.
The blue coal bucket tractor was the same color as the train engines. Epic shot of them going under the railroad overpass with old glory flying in between. 🇺🇸👍
That was my brothers album but I loved it. That was a good one. Then we got a Black Sabbath album. I remember hearing that one played all the time. It influenced me to pick up guitar. Those were some good days. We also played Toys In The Attic over and over. lol
There's just something fascinating about this line. While it has modern Motive Power and Freight cars the trackage certainly is laid-back and running by the side of the road or along alleyways is rare. One also has to appreciate squeezing in the two Bridges going above it while another bridge is parallel to it. With our cold weather today keep the home fires burning and the lights lit with that West Virginia coal
Thank you for that from an old retired Steam Operating Engineer who ran 12,000 tons of that WV coal through his coal-fired electrical generating station daily. Cheapest and best way to keep the lights on.
@@oldad6207all three major Utilities in Wisconsin have had to put their conversion or retirement plans at Power stations on hold until 2025. Sections of the grid need updating and there hasn't been a new Wind Farm since 2010. Our reward was a 15% rate increase.for natural gas since several large plants were converted from coal. Then add in the closure of a 30-year-old plant that was in great operating condition and now that area is developing quickly and the last nuclear plant is shuttered. All those unrealistic goals and we sure aren't equipped to handle a big wave of electric cars. Take care!
What a beautiful area to film trains. I love the sound of the creek running past the fire station. As a kid I spent untold hours playing in the creek not too far from my house. Thanks for the memories!! 😊😊😊❤❤❤
Great to see this and the tracks for the coal hauler train in West Virginia and this is a very beautiful area in the state with the mountains in the background along with the streamline locomotive and of course the Train Dogs making a great appearance in the house and yard playing around Thank You Jaw Tooth.🇺🇲🇺🇲👋🤠👋🇺🇲🇺🇲 🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🇺🇲💨
my old home stomping grounds country roads take me home where I belong west Virginia I just lived down there in the next town...I miss west Virginia my home country roads
Great video JT that was definitely a tight squeeze under the bridge. Those engines were definitely beautiful blue color. Thank you for sharing such great videos. Safe travels
Cool coal hauling video with a great steam bonus. It's -4°F up here in Rhinelander while I'm watching this and all the greenery has me longing for Spring. Excellent as always, thanks JT!
@@RDC2003 Awesome! You will get great experience so that when you become a senior firefighter you will get some perks. I remember when I was your age I would sleep in my clothes and have the radio turned up full blast for our alert. lol
Thanks for braving the rain to catch the fabulous coal train, JT! It was a spectacular video today. You certainly improved my week after seeing my oncologist yesterday! You always do an awesome job and are one of my favorite videographers. I so appreciate you! Try to stay warm during this brutal cold snap. 😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤
Beautiful area and I always enjoy seeing this line. Thanks for bringing us the rails JT and for keeping the history of these lines intact. Much appreciated!! Until next time!!
Those are a couple good looking GMTX locos..and what a beautiful part of the country that is! Wow, that road is close to the rails, but I suppose the locals are so used to it, they don't even notice it. And it looks like a tight squeeze getting a fire truck quickly out of the station house..guess you deal with the space you've got! Fantastic video JT! 🚂🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃💯👍🇺🇸
Thank you for this additional never seen video of the Big Eagle Railroad moving loaded and empty coal gondolas, Jaw Tooth! I remember watching your previous video of this railroad from a few years ago. It was great to see this railroad in action again.
As a fellow dog owner, I believe my little boy (a shichon named Marley) is the cutest dog in the world. Recently, he had a bout with gastroenteritis, but now he’s eating more of his food than he’s ever eaten and has loads of energy.
Enjoyed the video of the Big Eagle Railroad. I took pictures of the operation back in the latter part of the 1960s when it was the Winifrede Railroad. At the time they hauled coal from the mine to be unloaded into barges on the Kanawha River. You can Google Two Short Lines of the Kanawha Valley for more details.
It is a great activity. Firemen stick together and make a team. I always wanted to get back into the volunteer fire service but I live too far from the station. All firemen have stories to tell. Its fun to swap stories.
The last train looked like people visiting the area and taking in the train they are in to see the sights. I love it when you show your cats and dogs, this time the Kitties? Thanks.
Beautiful video Jaw Tooth from beginning to end on this cold winter night. The locos are really nice looking as is the area. Well done and produced. Cheers 👍👍
Great Video JT!👍👍👍 We've seen them switch out near CSX but we've never seen them go up in there. We'll have to make a trip back up in there and see what we can see! Keep Up the Great Work!
Awesome blue engines !!!! I don’t see how a fire engine can turn to get out of that building- looks tight and tight for train too next to street and tunnel! ❤ ur videos !!!
@@michaelmcginn1706 Sorry, I thought I was caught up with my shout outs. I can still give a late happy birthday. Not sure which video to put it in. I have a medical issue that is slowing me down right now
@JawTooth Please take care of yourself first. I had my health problems, too. I had heart surgery almost 3 years ago, and last fall, with several stents put into my heart.
@@michaelmcginn1706 Wow, I hope you are feeling well. That is a lot. Take care of yourself also. When you get older like us you realise how precious life is. I had surgery last week on Wednesday . I was under for about 12 hours. I tried to film trains today but got sick and had to go home. I'll be posting old stuff for a week or so that I never posted. I'm 62, almost 63. Are you about my age?

What sort of fire truck could back into that fire station? Maybe a 1984 Toyota?
Oh what a shame, too bad.
The blue coal bucket tractor was the same color as the train engines. Epic shot of them going under the railroad overpass with old glory flying in between. 🇺🇸👍
Hey JawTooth and Mrs JawTooth
Enjoyed the blast from the past
thanks! I have a couple more
Frampton Comes Alive!!! Awesome album!!
That was my brothers album but I loved it. That was a good one. Then we got a Black Sabbath album. I remember hearing that one played all the time. It influenced me to pick up guitar. Those were some good days. We also played Toys In The Attic over and over. lol
Wow! Excellent catch, @JawTooth, Brian, thank you.
Thanks for watching 😊
Get the right people elected. That line will stay in business
I sure hope so
I like the gleaming blue livery of GMTX locomotives #2109 and #2115! 😍
Me too!
This is how the 2 mile trains are built. 1 shoreline at a time. Great work here JT.
Exactly. This line has to make about 4 trips for a train over 100 cars because of their 28 car limit
Great catch J T...

I think so too!
Thank you for your dedication to preserving railroading history
Thanks for watching!

Awesome shot with the coal truck and train under the two bridges at different levels! 🤘🏻
Thanks!
Love all the greenery that West Virginia has.
Me too, it’s a beautiful state 😊
You find the coolest places to film trsins. That is why I like to watch.

It's nice to see a warm weather video. It's -5 this morning in SW Missouri. I also want to say I appreciate your dedication for filming in the rain!
Wow, thank you!
Freezing weather down here in New Orleans they actually shut down the cause way bridge due to the ice😮
Hey jaw tooth cool train . Awesome power units. GP38s or 40s love older engines. Hope coal line stays active. Have a great railroad day. 🚂🙋♀️
Thank you very much! They are GP38-3 units
Very interesting RR line, glad to see there still is some coal still coming out of the Mountain State. Thanks JT.

Loved the fire station and the stream behind it. Thanks JT!
Glad you enjoyed it! One note though. I learned that the fire station was destroyed last year in a flood
This is a GREAT video.
Those GPs look to be in super great shape for their ages.
I think so too! You can actually see them on Google Maps street view at the coal load out
The great videos just keep coming! Thanks, Jaw Tooth.
The landscape in WV is amazing. Well done sir.
Many thanks!
my dad was also on a volunteer fire department
It is a great activity. Firemen stick together and make a team. I always wanted to get back into the volunteer fire service but I live too far from the station. All firemen have stories to tell. Its fun to swap stories.

Thanks for watching 😊
Awesome video very beautiful country thank you Jaw Tooth from Jerry
Glad you enjoyed it
The GATX locomotives are so cool! I love GATX!
Really scenic in WVA, like the GATX EMDs,paint schemes ,fire station and old church, I remember seeing this location and coal branch!🛤🚂

That's awesome you're a volunteer firefighter. My son is too for a department in northern Ohio.
That's awesome! I enjoyed it. I used to be a volunteer on southern Ohio and also in eastern Kentucky
Great catches and awesome video jaw tooth
Thank you very much!
I thought the guy on the side by side at 2:30 was gonna try to cause you trouble for videoing cause it looked like he started videoing you lol
I hope he didn't think I was filming him. I stopped filming because of that. I know I looked out of place lol
Another superb video!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks for the video Brian stay well roll on
Thanks, you too!
Hey, who is the guy in the golf cart filming you ????? Nice easy going rail line carrying a famous black gold.
I was hoping that he didn't think I was filming him. He knew I wasnt from there lol
Nice Video
Thanks

Love the guy on the ATV. Guess it takes all kinds. 😂
I was afraid that he would think I was filming him. lol
I'm not sweating today! I believe the fellow in the side by side had his eye on you.
Hey,that’s a really cool caboose with the steam locomotive 🙂
Thanks for watching!
8:07 I think I've seen that narrow passageway before (or one like it) in your videos, maybe 6-8 months back.
The bridge clearances look like something from a 1980s Atlas track planning book.

I can almost feel the warmth from the video :) It's 8 degrees here this morning - brrrrr!
