- All hands busy and the CSX dispatcher must coordinate it. He did well and threaded the eleven trains shown in this video through the Abbeville Sub while track work had to be done in Hull GA and elsewhere along the line. The trains are manifests Q619-14, Q614-14, autoracks Q210-14 with two rebuilt SD40-3, intermodal Q194-15, local A749-15, grain train K804-10 with Union Pacific engines, and 5 coal trains: T751-10, U770-13, N320-11, E320-11, and one unknown.

Another good video ! A pleasure to watch . Excellent clear , sharp and steady video with the same in audio . You have top quality equipment and a steady hand . Thanks for including some signals . We like that as with a little practice , we can tell what's going to happen , what is currently happening , and what just happened , by reading the signals . Looking for more from you !
Excellent, great you enjoy the older videos as well.
If it's got trains in it , I'm going to like it😀
That cool of a lot of trains mbmars01 and I like your video that there ten thousand trains in it, thanks mbmars01!
Not quite thousands of trains, but 11 was a good score on that day, for sure. Nice you enjoyed the video!
Thanks for this video. I loved what you said blasting through Athens it sure was fun to watch. I admire the guys working in 100 degree weather. I would not want to swing a sledge hammer in that type of weather. I enjoy your chase scenes keep adding them in. I appreciate your work
+Joe Leveille Yep, I also suffer with them. But for the guy who records the action it is as hot, too! ;)
Id be wishin i was there.with a few hundred glasses of my sweet delicious leomon-aid.plus some for each passing train crew.lemon-aid on ice.in summers heat.best combo i know of.plus a misting tent.one to duck into once in awhile.get outta the heat.plus lots of sandwiches.cant stand sein another creature suffer.they got such a hard job.i know thier workin keeping the freight movin.but they need a break once in awhile.plenty of food n chips to go around
a lifetime of fascination with trains your channel is great
Thank you! I'm glad you like it.
Whoopee! Totally enjoyed the show! Here's to Mow in the heat, and railfans.
As always: I'm happy you liked it!
Gees, you got a good eye. That quick shot of the DPU bulging out of that line of coal cars was an excellent bit of editing but catching that mirror twinkling away as the coal train departed after crossing the new switch demonstrates why your videos are so good.
Yes good gear helps, good light was on your side but it takes more than good gear to get this quality. The telephoto distortion coupled with heat distortion make for some memorable shots as well. Shooting between the equipment at the crossings is a lovely effect demonstrating the optical qualities of your camera as well as your excellent eye for an interesting shot. The curve of the train and the fold in the field of view as it moves back out of the standby track - just another interesting detail that pops that wouldn't have been in the video if you had been shooting just a few feet further to the right.
How far apart are all those multiple crossings where the trains wait for the signal to turn? Are those streets or driveways? Such a lot of crossing in such a short distance. If those are streets it must be at least a couple of mile down there all collapsed into that telephoto shot. Oh I just saw a private crossing sign.
Those UP grain units ... They wouldn't have UP crews on them would they? Surely they would have just handed off the train at the interconnection point. Dumb question I know. These locis must be customized a bit for each company and location. Operators must be fairly multi-dexterous to handle the different control systems to be jumping between different companies locomotives. I see the last of the cars are CSX branded pointing to a CSX originated unit train.
The sun shot at the end was a nice extra. I wish I could give you more than one thumbs up but that seems to be the way here on the UA-cam.
Thanks for posting this most excellent video. Well done.
Thanks for your detailed feedback! You're right, most if these crossings are private (driveways, not roads) and they are very close to each other, maybe a few hundred feet if at all. It's true, crews of the host railroad operate the engines, independently of "color" or train origin/destination. I'm very happy you paid so much attention to the video details, some of which are really not easy to come by. Keep watching, there's so much to discover in the videos of this channel :) I know you have been watching videos here in the past and I appreciate it.
Great ! Lets just watch, thats all. Outstanding video pace focussing on the Wheels. Great job...let the trains talk only. TY
Great you like the style! 😊
9:44 Listen closely you can hear that old,GE Dash 7-8 bell over the engines chugging
cool #4227 a C40-8 standard cab nice. sweet 2 SD40-3 with awesome sound nice. cool a SD50-3 nice. cool a EMD SD70ACE nice. cool horn on #8566. awesome catches.
+Phillip Lee Yeah, lots of stuff for you to analyze ;)
Awesome video. Subbed, enjoyed, will watch more!!!
Thanks! There will be more, but there are already 200+ recent ones on the channel. Just to bridge the meantime before new content is available lol
fascinating view of the track maintenance work. Wielding that big sledgehammer is the job to have in that heat. Very interesting that they literally fit it in between trains rather than closing the line to all traffic.
Thanks. There is too much traffic on this line. They cannot simply close it. They have windows when train action is rather slow and then they use this time for maintenance or repair.
@@mbmars01 hi 😃😀!
another great video
Happy you like it, thanks.
cool video love the coal trains
Thanks, same here!
Great clips, very enjoyable and chilling to watch, many thanks for this. However, one suggestion: would it be possible for future clips to subtitle the radio chatter?
Thanks! Unfortunately, this would be too much effort. The production of my more recent videos takes already many hours.
awesome trains
+Gavy Nunez Yep, I was happy I could catch them!
Very Nice Video! Do you know does the new Q192 Atlanta-Montreal stack train go by you on the Abbeville Sub? His first run is about to reach my line today
Thank you! Yes, 192 does go by here, but unfortunately it seems he's a night train in our sector. The first one came through here two days ago. He had only 7 loads. I didn't go out for him, although I'm a bit excited to have a new baby here on this line.
Yeah Q192 was incredibly short by here. Was only 5 loads. It seems from what I've heard is it will be assembled in Syracuse with blocks from Q140 from Savanna, Q190 from Philly, Q157 from Kearny, and Q163 from Port Newark. He may pick up the Q140 loads south of me in NJ but we'll see...
Interesting. Well, we already wonder here what the southbound version Q193 will look like...
I heard a rumor that there will unfortunately be no SB Q193 farther than Syracuse. Hoping that's wrong but we'll see
Unfortunately, there is often some truth in such rumors. We'll keep an eye on the developments...
nice video
Nice, thanks!
How many engines are required to pull these whole lot of wagons? Tow engines are at front of the row, but 2nd one seems to be a inactive one & being pulled.
It really depends on several factors. Most trains here have two engines.
@@mbmars01 GA certainly has no passenger train, right?
do you know what the benefit of the dpu in the middle of the train is, as opposed to just running 3 locomotives up front? thanks.
The name says it: distributed power. The stress on knuckle and the braking effort is better distributed along the train with one or more engines in the middle and/or at the end of a train. To find the best location is a bit of an art and depends on the grades along the line.
thankyou
You are correct very hot for you also. Is there any trees you can stand under for shade
Unfortunately not...
Well, they were certainly pretty good when they first came out. Now they are a bit outdated, I'd say.
OMG! it's not Greece! This Athens is in Georgea! Between Watkinsville and Danielsville?
Lol, yes, Athens, GA.
What Camera do you youse to record?
+LHSBoy ` Panasonic HC-V550. Nothing special.
:) Nice Camecorder but it is special
Guess those locomotives make good enough buffer cars to protect the crew from that shearing plate steel. I went back to look as I couldn't believe there wasn't something rigid in the way. Not so sure about putting that plate between those tanker cars though . . .
Sometimes one just wonders about the train composition...
So how many deer do u see when u go from garrett through rockwood just askin that's all!
Hmmm, where's Garrett and where's Rockwood?
@@mbmars01 it is garrett pa and rockwood pa have u heard of those before just askin
@@mbmars01 or haven't u heard of those before
No, sorry, I haven't yet been in this area.
At 38:44 I like the Union Pacific horn..
K5HLL 1982 has one as well
You filmed this on my bi
7727 has a nice horn, K3H? Maybe someday there will be one on a normal valve and not a stupid electronic one.
7727 does sound like it has a K3H. Not for sure, but I don't like the electronic air valves, because the engineer can't quill the horn.
Great video!
One question: Why the CSX's coal trains are classified T, U, N and E?
Thanks! I honestly have no clue. T's and N's are loaded, U's and E's are empties.
Thank you!
Is it just me or do a lot of the cars have flat spots (some worse than others).
No, you're right, many of the cars have flat spots.
A testament to your awesome audio.
Yeah, I know the sound of this camcorder is really good.
Man I like your Videos, but you get me confused in the Directions. North bound south bound on a East and west line. Between Athens and Elberton it East and west
I agree, it's confusing. The line goes from Atlanta, GA in the south to Abbeville, SC in the north. Therefore, trains call themselves north- or southbounds. Around Athens, GA, it indeed looks more like an east-west line on the map. So, southbounds go west, northbounds go east here.
David Turner えあ
trains are great, until 1 person decides they aren't and can derail 2 kilometers of goods with a single act.
Fortunately, it's not like that. Knuckles are constructed in a way that they break quickly if there is too much stress and torque acting on them. Furthermore, if air hoses get disconnected between the cars or the connection of lead engine an the end-of-train device gets interrupted otherwise, emergency braking sets in automatically. I stood beside several trains when they went into emergency and I was amazed how quickly they come to a full stop. While derailments still happen relatively frequently, in most cases the damage is confined to a few cars only.
I lived in Nebraska and was amazed how high wind could blow over train cars, yet cars on the highway were untouched, supposedly because the vehicles were moving faster than the trains they were able to blow through the gusts, but the trains fell right over.
I believe it. Very strong local wind gusts, such as a tornado, can do that. However, this is apparently not an incident that can be caused by a single human being.
HERE TEYRUN OUT OF FLAT LAND THE RAIL ROAD NEEDS SOME GREADING TO EASE THE STRAIN
Fairy at 37:26.
Jg
The train was going to not coming from athens
Which one?
