I can almost smell the woodchips and diesel!!!! Ahh the good old days of railroading in the SE...and of course the icing on the cake...seeing SOUTHERN locos!
AWESOME! I was born in 1990 so I didn't have long to see all those high hoods and long hood forward locomotives before the started switching to wide cabs.
I guess the locotrol master GP50's kept the equipment installed longer than originally thought. It was supposedly removed in 1988 from them from a book I have.
Those are for crossties. They allowed the track department to push the ties out the opening at the bottom of the car for distributing the ties from a slow moving MOW train.
Ahead of the BN boxcar? Those were special built crosstie cars. Made from old flatcars that had a superstructure added with a slot at the bottom, where the crossties would be unloaded as the car was moved down the right of way.

this is from like 1989 to me because i saw a conrail engine in this video
Not sure what you mean... Conrail existed until 1999, so it would be possible to see them in 1990 as foreign power.
Shades of things to come
What are those cars at the 8:25 mark?
