  • You can take a track ride with me as I give you a tour of our
    track here at the Cumberland Mine Railroad. This will be a 4 part mini
    series. Today we start out at the prep plant and travel to
    mile post 4. In the 3 follow up videos you will see the entire
    line from start to finish, 16.8 miles on this very unique short line railroad.
    So many folks have asked me to see the entire track so hope you
    enjoy these videos and get a better understanding of what all our
    railroad here is about.
    We haul exclusively coal from the mine and prep plant located at Kirby Pa.
    to a river barge loading facility at Alicia Pa. on the Monongahela River.
    Almost all of our coal is for domestic steam power plant generation.
    We do sell some coal to a concrete plant that is taken by barge to LaBelle Pa.
    where it is off loaded and put on CSX trains. We currently also sell
    some coal to Hyundai located in Korea and S. America and
    that coal is sent via CSX from LaBelle to Baltimore Md. for overseas shipment.
    We have 3 locomotives, 2 of which are EMD SD 38-2. #1 was built in
    1975 just for this mine, #22 was built in 1978 for Yankeetown Docks
    and #3098 is an EMD SD 40-2 built in 1966 for Southern Pacific.
    (built as an SD 40, converted to a dash 2 by Boise Locomotive Works
    after the SP/UP merger upon which it was retired and sold to Boise).
    First video in the series from MP 0 to MP 4 is here:

    Yes...atta boy Dave...excellent vid...enjoyed the ride...
    MP reference and curve info excellent...
    Going to review vid and map out your reference info (MP, curves, curve info, grades) and match them to vid time clock...see if you missed any curve numbers....

    When it started I said to myself, "Ugh, 24 minutes of slow-moving track footage". But the excellent commentary and stories kept me interested; and when you announced it was over it caught me by surprise, in that the video went by so fast! Excellent video.

      that no one would want to watch this long a video, so your

      So appreciate your riding along with us tonight my good friend.

    Fantastic stuff most people never get to see. There is a location on the old CT&V division called "Bryan's landing". Someone (finger pointing to myself) went through a private dirt driveway crossing, and it was a rain sleet snow mix and miserable. This dummy didn't get out to make sure he cut the flanges through, but instead felt the truck run smooth, so just was sure as heck he was good...........Until the track made a left hand turn and the truck went straight. You know, I never dreamed I could almost bend a steering wheel trying to turn it.....and my foot put the brake pedal into the floor. but the tires left the rail as I bounced on the flanged wheels on the ties....no brakes on those railroad wheels....found out that ballast and radiators don't like each other either as the truck came to a stop at about a 45 deg. angle over the ballast line! First you say it, then you do it. LOL I learned my lesson. :) This was back around 89 or 90 when I was young and dumb. I am not the young part anymore! :)

    What an outstanding video. I've always wanted to see the very beginning of the line where the cars are loaded. Getting to ride the rails with you and listening to your stories and history of the line is a real treat. I did have two questions, though. First, what is "long-walled"? I don't think I've ever heard that term before. Second, I realize that with two locomotives, you don't need to use the run-around track normally, but is it still in good enough shape to use if needed?

    • @thomream1888
      @thomream1888 2 роки тому +3

      Re "Long-Walling", Copied Dave's answer to another comment:
      There are 2 methods of mining coal, room and pillar and long walling
      for under ground mines. Room and pillar they leave blocks of
      coal that are not mined out which support the strata above the
      coal seam. With long walling they take all the coal out and the
      the entire roof falls in behind the mining operation which also
      drops the ground surface.
      Hope this helps, it did for me. And Thanks Dave!

    @rodchallis8031 2 роки тому +9

    Very nice Dave. If I remember right, our colour wasn't great here either last fall. I always look at woodlots and forests here from the roads during spring and fall. If you know the sequence of tree species when they tend to come out in leaf, or lose their leaves, you can get a good idea of what species are dominating or present. Oaks are about the last to come out in leaf, and about last to lose their leaves. Beech saplings tend to hold their dead leaves through the winter and are easy to spot in winter. Where I live is the same kind of forests (originally) as much of the eastern U.S., so I grew up thinking it "typical". But relative to the rest of Canada, South Western Ontario is pretty unique this way. There's tree species like Paw Paw, Kentucky Coffee, maybe Shag Bark Hickory and a few others that only grow here.

    So the mountain slid, eh? Back on 14 Apr '83, when I lived in Utah, there was a mountain that slid a tad. Ever hear of a place called Thistle, on the DRGW? Messed things up for several months. Thing that I loved was it took the DRGW only three months to survey 5 miles of bypass right of way (including a 3,000 ft tunnel), grade it and lay track, running the first revenue train on July 4th. (They took their time for the second line and tunnel.) Thing I loved was that it took the U.S. Guvment that long just to decide what they were going to do with US HWY-6/89!
