- We are at Mance horseshoe curve at one of the steepest parts of B&O, Baltimore and Ohio's Sand Patch grade in 1990 and 1991. We catch several trains dropping down grade in dynamic braking, and others in the eight notch fighting the grade, some with helpers on the rear. There are several meets while we where filming. You will see the last of the disappearing fast Chessie System locomotives, and a mixture of CSX units in various paint schemes.
1---Chessie C&O #6068 leading a eastbound down grade. 9/09/1990
2---Chessie # leading eastbound down grade. 10/06/1990
3---CSX #7584 westbound up grade, meets Chessie C&O #8625 east. 10/17/1990 (These two are actually at Fairhope, PA)

I have always loved that older CSXT paint scheme.
I did as well. Especially with the blue trucks tanks and frames. They didn't stay blue very long, and got dirty pretty quick. Then it was hard to tell they were blue. Thanks for watching
Wow very cool I was 9 in 1990 and 10 years old in 1991 wow I can't believe that this was 30 31 years ago after watching this in 2021 I'm sure all them operated them trains are probably retried from the railroad great video
All that 4-axle power and spartan cabs. Never see that these days. They're pretty much all scrapped or relegated to short line service. Makes me feel friggin' old to watch these videos.
Man, all those old vans and trucks were brand new back then! :) Great footage as always. Sometimes I play your videos for nice background noise while I'm crafting.
Thanks Lorna. That does make great background music! I made a CD with all different high speed runbys by GE, EMD, and Alco. I'll get it in the car, and just blast it. Sounds great. Thanks for watching...
A YN2 in 1990, wow, didn't expect that
YN2 came out in late 1989 or 1990
YN2 came out March 13th 1990
Hey Jack,
A real honor and pleasure to watch another great time in history that I missed. Fantastic catches and loved the Chessies and CSX variety of schemes. God really blessed us...can't wait until the Southern Tier line sees more traffic so I can be a real railfan. God bless brother and thanks for this video.

i love these videos with auto carriers because there will be a point in time when the cars will be just as interesting as the trains
So cool to see this old footage of trains. Liked and subbed 😁👍
Super train. Cool video. 👍👍
Love the lashup at 7:15! Neat how the engines go in the order of CSX. A Chessie, a Seaboard, and then a CSX. Also cool with another Chessie on the rear and a hornshow too! Awesome video!
Thank you for this. I miss seeing Chessie on the line.
Thanks for watching. I sure do miss the Chessie as well. One of the best paint schemes ever...
Definitely ranks as one of my Favorite rail videos!! Just Awesome!! ☺✌Ty!!
Thanks again.
That Leslie at 10:28...and all the brand new YN2 and old open air autoracks. Great catches all around. Also, thanks for not being shaky video like many of the handheld tape cameras of the era!
Thanks, and glad you enjoyed it. Sometimes it was tuff back then, because I always tried to take video and 35mm slides of the same train. Sometimes it turned ou good, sometimes it didn't. The video was really secondary just for preservation, but I see now, there is a real market for it on UA-cam, and like going back in time. Thanks for watching...
Ya gotta love that butterfly!
LOL, Yah, whats the chances of that happening again. Thanks for watching GE AC.
Nice ....I always liked cheesie's paint scheme..
I did to. Just plain sharp looking. Thanks for watching...
I have a DVD called Sand patch weekend and It was taken in 1992 from High Ball production I bought from a Train show in the pass
Again awesome old footage ,,, and a great watch
They were pulling hard for sure!!
Great vídeo
Thanks AlfT, and thanks for watching...
What’s crazy to think, is that the only thing still kicking from those thirty years is the rail cars. Im sure there’s a handful of the vehicles we see that are still in “o.k.” condition, but you still got to figure they’re either in a junk yard or in someone’s back yard rotting away.
Awesome video as always, thank you Jack!
Thanks airing the outstanding vid.Bliss
Great video and Awesome job, as Always!!
☺✌Ty Jack
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for watching...
Listen to how melodic that K5LA is at 5:30! Crazy that those were all over the place on freight power back then.
I want one for my Mack Superliner. That would sound great on my truck. Thanks for watching...
love that Chessie action
Thanks
Excellent video Jack.
This is where I always struggle in TSW lol
Great video, thanks. Those Chessie SD50s get an A+ from me. I got to shoot them down in Kingsport, TN in the same year.
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it. I sure do miss those Chessie units more than anything. Thanks for watching...
I wonder how well the big SD50s fared on Chessie System? They were known to be problematic, as a whole.
Yah, They were problems on Chessie as well. To bad. I liked the SD50's in that paint.
Still had the S3L horn back then!
Always heard that this was called the mule shoe curve.
bonus monarch, even.
The days before graffiti took over the cars
Yah, for sure. Doesn't seem all that long ago we had clean looking RR cars. But once it started, it went crazy, sorry to say. Thanks for watching...
Happens every time. You try to get video of a locomotive and some darn butterfly comes along and blocks the view.
LOL. Always something to make it interesting.
A dumb question perhaps, but why did they rely more on 4 axle power instead of 6 axle?
Back when CSX was still worth photographing. Now it’s nothing but boring GE junk.
Love the chessie Jack!
Yah Jeff. Me too. We lost lots of neat stuff in the 80's and early 90's.
Yes we did! We have main and siding goes by in front of my house 500 feet away use to see alot of B&O and Chessie wish i took picture's or video back then
1 bell?
