    Great coverage of a little known short line operative. Superb narration and pleasant back round music, glad I subscribed. Even though I'm a retired conductor I enjoy viewing other operations.

    A great production, covered the railroad perfectly. I'm gonna go listen to some Darius Rucker now, (got Wagon Wheel in my head for some reason ;) ) then I'm gonna share this video with some buddies so hopefully you may see a little jump in viewers

    Nice video! Does the crew typically go on duty at 8 am? I’d love to catch this operation

    Good cirel coverage of a short line that lives in relative obscurity. That yard view with all those covered hoppers looks like those storage yards in Texas where the pellets are produced. Some nice old buildings and odd relics along the line but it does appear to have very good track. I've seen that move before to get around the cars luckily it's not on a super steep hill. Nice use of the drone to go along with the ground shots. Glad to see the line doing well and helping to hold the employment scene on a better level in small town USA

      Thank you, Paul! It sure is a super cool smaller operation, their track is some of the best in NC as far as I've seen on shortlines.

      Thank you! yes it does, it is the NS S-Line from Asheville to Salisbury and runs through downtown by L. Gordon's scrap yard.

    I'm surprised this little line has managed to survive for so long in a region where industry has been decaying for many decades.

    • @blueridgerails

      They've really got the industry flowing now, they've got like 5-6 new customers just in 2023. It's a busy little rr!
