Thank you for posting my town Smithfield-Selma, NC and the history of train, My home is less than 1/2 mile from North/South CSX line on South Side of Smithfield. Even though Four Oaks, NC is a "No Horn" Zone, I hear the trains as they approach Four Oaks from the South, and just a soon as they fly by Four Oaks they blare those beautiful loud horns many times giving Horn Salutes and playing " A Shave and Haircut" on the horns as they approach my home. I love the rail history of our area and trains who come through daily about 20 to 35 trains per day with more on Weekends. And now because you posted this awesome video Rail Tennessee, I can share it with my railfans of Southern Ohio such as Jaw Tooth, 1960Gambit and Buckeye Freight Railin. Thanks again, for an excellent video and coming to our area.
I drive though Selma several times a week on I-95 and have noticed the yard just west of the highway and wondered about it. Now I'm going to have to pay a visit to Selma and take a better look at the town and check out the museum. I live just down the tracks in Garner, so this is pretty much in my neighborhood.
Great video as usual. Keep studying Danny's format, it's been a winner for him. Now that school is over you can make more videos and get recognized by the YT algorithm gods.
I was in Selma on July 20, 2024 for the Union Station's centennial. On that date, the Mayor and town staff buried a time capsule there, scheduled to be opened in the year 2124.
Did you miss the big mill complex SE of the crossing? It has hundreds of cars, multiple spot areas, several rail car movers and, believe it or not, a 90 degree crossing INSIDE a feed mill! All visible from a public road.
CSX didn't just use GP30's and GP35's for their RDMT rebuild program. They also used GP38's, several of their rare GP39's (they only had 20 on the roster, all ex-C&O/Chessie), and some GP40's. 2379 was originally a GP40.
I don't really know where else to ask this, so I'll ask here, since you know a decent amount about TN rail operations. I plan on working at the CSX yards in Nashville, and was wondering how far a train crew will actually go from there. I know Chattanooga, Memphis for instance, but do they go all the way to Knoxville and Louisville on one crew? I'm a trucker currently, and want a change of scenery. (and to actually, as opposed to theoretically, make 100k)
I use to frequent Selma alot several years ago until the railfan hobby got boring for me. Went back there last year. Not going back. Too many foamers now. Not trying to say its a bad area or anything, but I can only deal with so many foamers.😅

Amazing Video As Usual Rail Tennessee
You should document Deshler, Ohio next! It’s definitely another bucket list place to visit.

15:04 that string of N&W hoppers is nice.
Great to see ya back man. Seems better of a rail town than Knoxville honestly
Excellent video! New subscriber, looking forward to watching older and newer videos! May I ask what camera/video equipment you’re using?
18:26 M652 MENTIONED 🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣
Funny enough… that was technically M653. Some errors slip on by 😅
@@rail.tennessee Close enough lol. Great video nonetheless!

Thank you for this correction! I’m not quite sure how I let that one slip by… thanks for watching and sharing some further insight!
