Hopefully you came through the storm with little or no damage? I heard there is another possible storm that may form in the Gulf later next week? Great video as usual, stay safe out there!
An update for everyone: The Clinchfield is in pretty rough shape. The vast majority of the Blue Ridge Sub between Erwin and Spruce Pine has been washed out or completely swept away, including the iconic bridge at Poplar, NC. The line’s going to be shut down for a long time.
I am horrified of what has happened. It makes me tear up. I was in chimney rock village on May 8th when a huge hail storm hit with my school and again on June 16th going to summer camp. We stopped in chimney rock village for lunch than and they were some of the nicest people I’ve ever met. I’m heartbroken of the tragedies that happened in WNC. Wishing you prayers Kyle along with the rest of WNC and North East SC.
I spent 25 yrs. working for a school district and the upper management didn`t care about us maintenance workers like they should have either. Stay safe bubba.
Hi Kyle, Hurricane Helene seems to be doing some serious damage to North Carolina. Your in my thoughts and prayers. Hoping you and Janet are both safe.
NOW WAY! I was a career Fire Captain/Paramedic for 30 + years. Retired almost seven years ago! Thank You Chief for your many years of service. I also agree with you. Many who make it to the top forget about where they came from and what the boots on the ground are experiencing. 👍🙏🔥💪💪🇺🇸
Research the CSX coal train that ran away on the sandpatch grade in a horrendous snow storm 20 years ago derailing 113 cars, many sold their stock and that today is why the stock and it’s dividend struggles …. The post WW11 era railroaders and knowledge is now gone …NS went into shutdown mode, csx did not and yes the ex-military iron fisted method continues to carry its struggles …I could go on and on and with that good day …
Thanks for braving the elements. Stay indoors if it gets worse; we can live without a video, stay safe. 43 years of railroad service and I never missed a day due to weather. Switching cars in fanny deep snow, beer in one hand and the lantern in the other; my, but aren't we having fun!🤣😎🚂🚃🚃🚃✝ It's all about money and the revenue lost when freight doesn't operate.
God bless everyone impacted by this frontal system, and the hurricane later on in the night. Stay safe and dry my friend.
This weather is crazy makes it hard to film trains
What time was this

I tried calling! I wanted to make sure yall were okay. Love you lots
I don’t think the loops would survive Helene. I’m happy to see CSX running during the storm!

What is the latest prognosis for the former Clinchfield Main?
It’s in really bad shape. A lot of the rails in Spruce Pine, Poplar, and Marion are either washed out or got completely swept away.
