I worked on STEEI MILL INDUSTRIAL RAILROADS for 49 years. I stil sit in my chair and watch the trains. Thank you. I miss falling asleep on a piece of cardboad n the floor of the locomitive. Thanks for the memories!!!!!
Excellent and interesting train video and thanks for sharing this with the audience,some of your shots in this video reminds me parts of my State of Georgia,The local transfer and switching is just as important and you have captured historical Locomotives that are still being used today,Thanks again and I have Subscribed to your channel.
Superbly done. An artistic documentary. The scenes in the fog are especially evocative. Excellent details in your description, with the very helpful timeline references. What a huge parking lot (35:20) at the Neville Island Yard. Was there a large factory there years ago? Thanks for the thorough and engaging compilation.
I'm not quite sure what the lot was or is. It might still be utilized by the adjacent petroleum facility, but I'm not familiar enough with that area and its history to give a definite answer. Hopefully someone else can weigh in! Thanks for watching!
@@nightrider6769 The CSX engineers around Brimingham, AL called them "butt-heads". That's where I first heard it............ They surely are little work horses.
If you are referring to the Union Railroad's engines, yes they are remote controlled. The other railroads still have an engineer and conductor onboard their engines.
It is a region in the United States that was once the industrial backbone of the nation, generally considered to be stretching from the mid-Atlantic states (PA, NY, NJ, etc) to the Chicago metro area. Many of these industries shut down/moved out in the latter half of the 20th Century or are a shell of what they used to be, and many cities experienced major economic decline in part because of this (Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Youngstown, Akron, Detroit, Gary, South Bend, etc). Hence why the region is often referred to as the "Rust Belt". This video and my planned future installments look at many of the short lines that serve remaining industries in this region.

Love the UR if for no other reason than they still rely on the caboose. Great shots and the sound was delightfully deafening.
Soulful mist, mournful whistles, WW2 locos! Gritty Pittsburg industrial scenes! Massive bridges! Doesn't get any better!
*Pittsburgh
Great photography & subject matter. Love the horn on that Alco!
How could I not watch my favorite switchers in action, as I love the SW-1500's & the MD-15DC both by EMD I believe. Cheers from eastern TN
That was some really cool footage
Thanks for posting.

Love seeing those little "butt-head" workhorse switchers in action. Thank you!!!
Little butthead workhorse switchers that's funny!! But them three seem to have an attitude like we can get this done and we will.

31:11 i really feel they should repaint their units into their heritage colors
Sad to see they made 76 crew rco use to work that job at nights
Trains are neat
Are those engines run by remote control?
If you are referring to the Union Railroad's engines, yes they are remote controlled. The other railroads still have an engineer and conductor onboard their engines.
@@RandomRailAdventures Thank you!
Do all of these railroads make up a company called the rust belt, or is it just a short line region?

Why would a diesel horn spook you ? !Anyway, nice filming !!
Loud noises can startle me and I wasn't expecting it at that moment.
23:30 is that a k5ha horn?
Yes.
Stop trying to cross that track you cannot beat the train!!!
Needs more information. Rotate the camera.
