Thanks David, i love this place.. if it was closer and easier to get to. I'd be here all the time. Glad you enjoyed it. Happy New Year, be safe out there.
@@TriGogglin Yep, I love those kinds of places. I've been to everywhere close to me many times, now all the unique places are a little too far for me... ☹
@TriGogglin You're welcome Maybe you and the wife might be able to take a trip up to The hoosac tunnel up in florida massachusetts They got some norfolk southern trains that come up through there too
Good morning Pappy, Merry Christmas and always nice to see some locomotives running light!! Thanks for sharing. Have a good day and stay safe. Happy modeling!! - Jason
@@StormySkyRailProductions Thanks Dave, yeah this tunnel is amazing, if it was closer id be there alot 🤣 glad you enjoyed it. Appreciate you watching..
@@tracksidemike thanks Mike, they were helper units. Went to help shove a train back up the mountain.. big grade at this spot.. appreciate you watching.
Sweet spot. Cool tunnel. Not sure if you heard Phil Collin’s drumming at :50 ““I can feel it, comin' in the air tonight, oh Lord. I've been waitin' for this moment, all my life, oh Lord”. 🤣
@@DruSteel69 🤣🤣🤣 omg Drew, i do hear that now that you mention it.. 🤣🤣 thats great, leave it to you to find the good stuff. Glad you enjoyed it.. always appreciate you watching
@@PopaJohn-Trains-ky4sm thanks John, yeah this tunnel is amazing.. and i love running lite units.. thanks for watching. Hope you had a great Christmas.
This tunnels a beaut, Pocahontas Sub runs right through Matewan, WV. Oh man a crispy GEVO on the tail end🔥, it’s not too often you see them as toasters 🔥🍞 but it still happens, typical GE and the high pressure fuel lines failing, when fuel lines spray on a hot engine I wonder what happens 🤔🤔🤯😂🔥. Nice catch of them running lite👍🏼😎🇺🇸
@@ccrx6700 you are correct Dave, big long steep grade on this end, they went to help shove a covered hopper train.. i love this spot.. wish it was closer id be there all the time 🤣 appreciate you watching
Unfortunately they are not in use anymore. They were for clearing the smoke in the steam era, If you go into my playlist,and look at tunnels, I did a stand alone video on them. And you can check the description In this video for a brief history on it.. appreciate you watching

Are the blowers still functional? I'd guess they were used during the steam-train era?
