- We are on the ex-B&O Keystone sub on the east slope of Sand Patch grade on April 7th 1991. Chessie units are still plenty, but CSX units, and CSXT patches are beginning to show up more and more.
We are at several locations, as we watch the good looking Chessie units pass the VHS camera.
1---Chessie B&O GP40 #6201 is about to enter the east side of Sand Patch tunnel. The top of Sand Patch grade.
2---Chessie B&O SD40-2 #8252-#8242 with a eastbound auto rack train at Fort Hill.
3---Chessie C&O SD50's #8626-#8630-SBD #8623 drops down grade with westbound coal at Fort Hill.
4---Chessie CSXT GP40 #6099 leads a eastbound R136 at Markleton.

Love the chessie system engines
Nice video! My dad retired from the C&O, I recently found his log book. It mentions locomotive 6201 many times.
Hello Jack! You never fail to make my day! This was awesome and an awesome time in railroad history! Loved the Chessie power and old CSX blue/gray scheme. Excellent catches and notch eights. God bless brother.

Thanks brother. Glad your enjoying these classics. I loved this era of early CSX. Anything was possible. Crank up those speakers on this baby also. Its unreal the stuff I have been seeing in my tapes. Just in the VHS tapes alone. I have 56, 2hour long tapes jambed packed with stuff starting in 1988 until 1999. Then I switched to digital 8, which has much better quality than the VHS. Thanks for watching brother, and God Bless...
jackmp294.5™ No problem Jack! Me too now that I've actually seen it! I did crank them up. I am sure! 56 2 hour tapes sure is a lot; are they going to be published on UA-cam when you have time? My pleasure to watch Jack and God bless you!
Sooner or later they will make their way to UA-cam. Older ones first, unless I come up with something thats new and interesting. I have been trying to edit clips into 6-10 minutes each. The downloader UA-cam has, it takes 3-4 hours to download the best quality for viewing. That's not counting my editing, and write up time. So I don't do to many cause it takes so much time.
+jackmp294.5™ sounds great! Lots of work for a lot of likes
Great shots! 😁👍
Crews did an excellent job with that roadbed and track. That's a piece if work right there. Also, Chessie liked GP40's and had lots of monstrous 3600/3800 hp SD50's. Read that the SD50 was a problem locomotive and some engineers not happy with the ride quality.
These old locomotives just sounds better than new locomotives. In finland we have still in active everyday useloomotives made 60 years ago, works like a charm, alltought they have been refurbished several times. In steep hills you can hear the Dv12 series units from far away, once there was three of them (maximum in finland that they can hiook up to pull together) pulling heavy ammonium train to steep and rather long hill, I joined two cuos of coffee sitting and listening it approaching, untill i needed to stand u and wait to take some photos. I only can imagine what it has been to stnd those locations filmed and hear the eight locomotives engines to echo on that steep canyon. Nice videos from older and many fallen flags, thanks and greetings from rainy finland.
I agree with the old locomotives! Those old locomotives do sound fantastic. All the newer locomotives today now have to meet government requirements. So they have silencers on the exhaust, and they all have to be Tier 4 competent for emissions. Give me the old days with loud hard working units. Nothing like it. Thanks for watching...
20 years ago people didn't care how loud trains were
Always loved the colorful lashups!
I did as well. Thanks for watching...
Excellent video Jack.
Thank you Jack . Nice location .
Thanks Mark. It is. But its gated back into here now, and the CSX bulls will arrest anyone caught in there. Its a shame. Almost everywhere you go on Sand Patch is gated and posted. Thanks for watching...
I am Glad you caught that for us . Things change , Its great that you pay attention to the rules . They built a new Station down town and I saw it for the first time the other day . Tickets only to get to platform like an Airport . I enjoy your channel !
Not a single wide body, those were the days...
They were the days for sure. I wish we could go back in time. Thanks for watching...
Awesome chessie Jack!
There is nothing like Chessie. Sure do miss that era. Thanks for watching...
Very nice video!
Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for watching...
Very nice video of the good old times.From one trucker to another...did our trucks in the 80´s -90`s sounds better too?Thanks for sharing this video.
Thanks Carsten, and I would say yes about the older trucks sounding better. Detroit 671's sound fantastic back in the 70's when I started driving 18's. Then the Cummins 350's and 400's sounded great, but I liked the White I drove with the 8v92 13sp. Fantastic. The new trucks now a days, I don't even know what make is under the hood, but they sound like crap. Thanks for watching...
