  • I snuck (sneaked?) out of the house on Saturday in hopes of catching something. I got a call from a friend with a tip that CSX was combining two of their big trains into one move. Here's what I discovered.

      Hard at age 70 to believe that here I sit at milepost ll4 of Amtrak's Empire Service line (CSX for freight), trying to hear "And there's Danny" at 3:22 on a cheapie phone. Okay, I guess I hear it. Maybe someone can tell me about the previous phrase. Is it "We got limping on the bottom"??? Or maybe "leaking"??? The best of us here in the Kearny Metropolitan Area actually love and appreciate this southeastern linguistic conspiracy to mystify us. After all we're the ones getting the orange juice. Fabulous video! I still have some sort of cousins in Piedmont region NC and northeastern Georgia, maybe Toccoa, btw. Thanks again!

    Tropicana is shipping more juice then ever, but largely from the greatly expanded Ft. Pierce plant, which sends cars north to Jacksonville on the FEC, where they join up with CSX. Large number of oranges processed at the East coast plant are from S. America, this due to urban expansion into the groves and various Florida citrus diseases.

    Hello again Danny, while working a swing shift off the extra board at Yeoman, we used to build a big train similar to the one on this video. It required a crew on both ends of track 2, and a full eight hours to complete. Lots of down time waiting for our turn to move. Not a bad shift, time for supper cooked on a little grill the conductor built. Fun times.

    I sometimes wonder why I watch these RR videos but given my childhood back in the late forties and early fifties, steam engines were still in use. I am from coal country in NE PA (Shamokin) where hard coal is still king and it is that coal hauling, by large trains powered by up to five engines with three in front and two pushing on the back, that got me addicted to trains. We could hear them coming on the Sunbury line a mile away and when they finally came into view less than fifty feet from me, I think my eyes were as big as the drivers wheels on the train! What a sound they made but sadly, in all the years that have passed, I have not been close to a steam engine pulling a hard load again. Well that's another one for the bucket list but at my age, the bucket seems to have a hole in it:) BTW, I have been to Steam Town in Scranton, PA and it's worth the visit! They even have a Big Boy parked there....
