    Alex saved the day! Without him our video of RJ Corman would not have been very good . We would never have made it to the crossing

      That`s a fact! We would have never beat the train to the crossing if we were walking all that distance! Alex is the man!

    Loved the KCS locomotive. I've been to Thurmond twice, eastbound and westbound Cincinnati to DC and back on the Cardinal.

    Excellent Video Scott!!! Love the R. J. Corman engines. Scenic River and mountains. One of my favorite places my wife and I vacation at is West Virginia, but on the Northeastern Panhandle at Harper's Ferry, Charles Town, and Brunswick, MD. CSX runs trains from Fredrick MD to Charles Town, WV through the tunnel before crossing the Potomac River at Harper's Ferry. If you ever get a chance into that region, make sure you take Jaw Tooth with you. You will see Coal, mixed manifest, and Amtrak. Brunswick MD has a train museum, next to the Potomac River and Shenandoah River crosses the Potomac, Right in the heart of 3 states: West Virginia, Virginia, and Maryland right in the middle of the mountains, Wow it is so beautiful there.

    Thurmond is such a cool place and the whole New River Gorge is magical. The R.J. Corman action was a bonus. I hear ya on the allergies, I've been double huffin' Flonase for a month. Excellent video, enjoyed the heck out of it. Thanks man!

    Thurmond is such a great place. Definitely on my bucket list. You got some great shots here Scott but that ethanol train with the UP and KCS locos coming past the storefronts with the old coaling tower in the back is classic. Great catches. Thanks a lot.

    I love Thurmond Scott, beautiful ghost town in beautiful West Virginia. Ive seen JT here & the legend that was Shoestring he climbed up a tower filmed himself at the top, just crazy.😅 i love coal trains use to see a lot where i live but not anymore since the mines closed down. Brilliant video Scott so much content much appreciated. ❤😊👍

    The last tank train isn't hauling ethanol. Not sure what it is as I can't read the numbers on the placards. They're green which means it is a non flammable gas. Chlorine is one possibility The earlier tank train was ethanol. Good video by the way.

    • @1960gambit
      @1960gambit  Рік тому

      Thanks for the info, Perch. I don`t have much of a chance to try and figure out what the placards are when I`m filming the train as it passes because I can`t see them very well in the camera since it`s so small.

    Why do train wheels make that howling noise?, Does it come from the Bearings

    • @1960gambit
      @1960gambit  Рік тому

      I suspect that could be it. The squeal comes from the wheel flanges grinding against the rail in curves and spots where the gauge may be a little narrow.
