For me, the view beginning at 29:40 tops it all. Great camera work and perfect lighting.
Quite the Railroad.
I used to do the service on these GE locomotives years ago it’s amazing that thay are still in service…..great video
I love the Lhoist north american keep up the good work 👏
love your videos and the information and history you pass along with them
Thank you!
This video is absolutely brilliant 😊
Great video!
Great video as always! Beautiful scenery and seems like a well run operation….Still trying to figure out why NS didn’t want to continue operating a line that has a consistent and profitable customer. I’m starting to think NS stands for “Notoriously Stupid”….which could also explain why they liked to run their locomotives backwards. 😂 jk.
But in all seriousness, NS, if you’re reading this…do us a solid and reopen Salida. And UP….reopen Tennessee Pass. Make railroading exciting again.
Saluda. So much of that line is washed away, and the S line is nothing but a branch line anymore. Coal is gone, as is the paper mill at Canton, NC, and the remaining through traffic on both of these lines was rerouted to other higher density routes years ago. The days of heavy mainline railroading through the NC mountains on NS lines is long gone! A damn shame, but it’s just the economics of this age!
It may have something to do with the high number of bridges, the tunnel and curves at grade. All of that maintenance would be an issue. Lhoist still interchanges with NS so they still get the customer without such an expensive branchline
It is difficult to benefit from the intermittent and rapid views of the maps since the position of the train is not indicated. Otherwise, a great video.
They use 3 dash 7’s yet have a GP unit.
*GET THAT GP OUT OF THIS GE TERRITORY!!!!*
Or better yet scrap the GEs and upgrade to an all EMD operation. 👍
You'd be surprised how they both perform better with eachother, GE locomotives get heavy stuff moving easily, and EMD stuff keeps it moving.
@@IndianaNorthWesternLMFAO.
Tell that to the SD90MAC, where it constantly broke its own crankshaft and the entire rosters of them had to be repowered to puny 4,300-4,500 prime movers. Meanwhile our AC6000CW’s were kicking that mac’s ass. EMD lost the Horsepower wars, and lost its position as top leading locomotive builder and supplier in America when the Dash and Evolution Series came out. So in GE/EMD lashup, it goes like this; GE gets moving, keeps the consist moving, EMD: blows its turbo and makes the GE do more work, showing the superiority of the GE.
Well maintained equipment equals pride in the job equals safe place to work!
They may be truck horns, but dang do they sound good lol.
didn't know that untill now
At the end there you can see that 4023's front air hose drags on the ties periodically and the air intakes on the side have picked up leaves. Great video, I liked all the different views and story that went with it.
A very interesting and informative video. Thanks for posting it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
any idea about the passenger car next to the locomotive shop ?
wow NS is lazy how big do you have to be before they want your business
Can you guys potentially make a video talking about the Norfolk Southern Cloverleaf division in Toledo and Maumee Ohio, although I’m not sure it would be interesting enough.
Been quietly watching your videos for years, they helped me through the disruptions to work life balance during COVID! Time I commented, this one was EXCEPTIONAL and EPIC. Thanks for all your hard work! We imagine how this may all operate but your video shows the reality, down to nuts and bolts! So cooool!
Great video, Drayton!
While I know of the person who is the person in charge for the most part of delay in block production because he also narrates some of his his content. However I never have figured out who the person is who narrated the the video this time because the guy who did it this time also narrates one of the cass west virginia videos. Can someone please clue me in on who he is and what else he has narrated.
If I remember right his name is Dave, and there is an insane amount of hate towards him from grown adults throwing tantrums.
Love the way you tell a story and go over the route. This is a railway that does something [ yes they all do] a product from A to B letting the big boys take the stuff to anywhere. Lovely, well shot , well explained and a welcomely different to the trains passing a location type offering.
Excellent Video! Everything you do is so professional and informative
Thank you!
Thank you. That means a lot!
Good stuff! Thanks!
Excellent Video
🌼🎄🇮🇳🎊🌼
Can y’all stop reuploading the same footage over and over
I think they keep uploading the same vids because they always get filled with hate comments over the new narrator, and since theres so many, it's easier to just delete the video and reupload.
I think personally it would be easier just to say "we're keeping Dave, cry about it lol" tbh.
@@IndianaNorthWestern that could be true…I hope they realize that it’s not just about the narration though, I miss the in-depth details and info about all the different spots and locations. Not as interested when it’s the same jib jab just read off by someone else. Not to mention it’s been going on for a year if not longer now.
Drayton has stated he will re-upload videos if errors in pronunciation or factual details are discovered. The reason for being so accurate is that his purpose is that his videos can be used for historical reference with confidence knowing that they have been rigorously checked for accuracy in all aspects.
@@marinablueGS even still most of the reuploads are from the most recent videos a year or two back with drayton narrating , when they were done in a professional capacity and had little to no errors. All the videos lately are just a new narrator, same content and information. I’m not saying this stuff to be “that guy” in the comments, I just feel like I’m definitely not the only one interested in seeing something new.
Excellent video really enjoyed it thank you for sharing it with us and I hope you have a great day
man! really beautiful shots
Great video Drayton!
Lhoist sounds like a forgien name? Is that an American owned company or forgien?
If not American...why not!?
Did you not watch the video?
@DelayInBlockProductions Sorry, yes, I did. But it was a while ago, and I was coming back to it for a moment, actually for the narration aspect. I'll have to watch it again. Thank you, for all the good work you do.

Guess all I had to do is Google it.

@@DelayInBlockProductionsnice loco roster, those high nose,U33B's I need one for my HO brass diesel collection. Happy Trails!
Great video as always
So @Delayinblock, is this your third video now out about Lhoist? I surely have enjoyed everyone of them. Any news from them about them buying "new" power? Or maybe send those GEs to Ft Worth for an overhaul and be called a DC23B4M? Sure would be interesting.
Fantastic photography and informative narration. Five star presentation.😎
Great video. With all the money they have spent, one would think the track bed and rails would be a lot better
