I inspected the structures on the EK line in the late 70's and accessed many of the locations shown only by road. The aerial view is breath taking. I was looking for photos of a tunnel near Kite, Ky and found your video. I have a narriative in my head coming east into yards that are geographically south, but with the mountains you might be headed in any direction driving to get there. West was to the mainline switch point. Milepost 0 starting at the mainline.
You're doing an excellent job covering the L&N, Evan. I've enjoyed everything of it from the CV, KD, and now EK. Keep it up! I'll come along with you one of these days.
There's another place called Car ky out that way has coal tower just like this one. Heck it might even be the same one I saw. Was on a road trip to get parts for a buel motorcycle go kart engine swap lol. Was a lot of fun. Maybe that wasn't the cities name but thats what the exit sign said.
very sad indeed. the yard at hazard I'm sure once upon a time was full of empty trains headed to the mines and loaded trains waiting to head to their final destination it's sad its unforgivable this country's war on its own economy
Yea, I used to live near the hazard yard and went to work with my grandpa there when I was a little kid, now it stays almost empty. I knew most of the conductors and engineers there, nice people
The markets are favoring much cleaner burning natural gas over coal. I would prefer it, nuclear, geothermal, hydropower, wind, and solar used together instead of coal. Coal is actually the most harmful source of energy environmentally and with regards to human health. Nuclear power is far cleaner and safer.
Gammareign I grew up in that part of KY... and u have no idea the impact Obama had on its economy... so if u don't understand what you're talking about.. shut the fuck up
Kentucky could add 1,300 megawatts of generating capacity to existing dams. It would be so awesome if they did that. After doing that, building 4 AP1000 nuclear reactors would be icing on the cake.
@Billy Rudd It's the biggest sting operation in the history of the world. It's going to be Biblical!! I am enjoying being alive during this Historic time! This isn't about an election. Donald Trump used 2016-20 to set this all up! In order to set this all up he had to get elected the 1st time. Trust the plan!!
@Billy Rudd Well, that's for the most part correct. However, it's not just about a 4 year election. It's about getting rid of the Federal Reserve and putting control of our currency back into the hands of the people. Watch the audits!! The state audits are just the warm-up band. Eventually every state will be audited. This will reveal widespread, centralized cheating that will prove irrefutable.A pattern of consistency will be revealed. This will lead to the main act which is the auditing of the Federal Reserve. The deep state will then deploy all assets as Biden is removed from office and the military steps in to run the country. Stay tuned.
@Billy Rudd Ah yes! Good ol' Salyersville! We have a Lee's Famous Recipe Chicken place up here now in Plymouth, Michigan on Ann Arbor Rd. So when I get a longing for Kentucky I can go there.
I don't know, meet many miners if I did I'd tell them the same thing I tell the railroaders who are laid off " if you voted against ossama/Obama you have my sympathy, if you voted for Ossama/Obama you got what you deserve. None of this was a secret he said what he's do, just as Hiltabeast said later Ask yourself, how well is your union membership is served by being co opted by the Dems. None of that will change until those at the top of the unions are cleared out, considering how the system is rigged, that's not likely..
I LOVE COAL. LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT COAL.
I myself like the locomotives and trains that transport the coal but I can see your interest.
Too bad so many morons around the world want coal gone
I so miss my mountains and Hazard. This video is so comforting to me. Excellent work and thank you!

Look at all that beautiful coal
A very good video. Thank you...makes me blue for the Eastern Kentucky coalfields.
Each one a little better than the last. Keep em coming.
My grandpa lives in hazard and used to drive trains but now he just helps the railroad
Glad I found your video. Thanks for sharing!
...excellent video...thanks for posting it...
Great video man!!!
You're doing an excellent job covering the L&N, Evan. I've enjoyed everything of it from the CV, KD, and now EK. Keep it up! I'll come along with you one of these days.
ok
CSX in Knoxville TN is on the old L&N right
Coal is back on the upswing since this was filmed.
When I picture Kentucky and railroads this is what I imagine. Coal dragging at it's finest.
AT 1:12 that should be Fort Branch Road instead of Fork Branch Road.
great video
Great Video, Thanks
those AC44's are badass

Nice video!
It's crazy how much the Government has destroyed the coal industry.
It’s an act of war
very sad indeed. the yard at hazard I'm sure once upon a time was full of empty trains headed to the mines and loaded trains waiting to head to their final destination
it's sad its unforgivable this country's war on its own economy
Stikkman - I'm sorry.

Gammareign Why would you watch a video of coal hauling operations? Leave, we don’t need your beliefs here.

Wow, those trains were really laying on the horn.
Just Train Insanity my Dad was CSX Railroad Engineer for 35 years. They have to start blowing so far ™℅
That was very cool. I like the way you pan from the surroundings to the train. Did you get the DJI 3 yet?
Great did yiou use a drone?
engineer was nice
how do they do close up shots
Do these C trains still run
No. With Obama's war on coal it's killed it all. Actually outsides of Jackson, Ky. they're removing some track
They only come by on the weekends now.
Haven’t watched this for awhile. Now with Pres. Trump he’s trying to revive the coal industry, put the miners back to work.
Kentucky could add 1,300 megawatts of generating capacity to existing dams. It would be so awesome if they did that. After doing that, building 4 AP1000 nuclear reactors would be icing on the cake.
I love coal. I don't give a damn what anyone says, especially Obama!
AMEN MY FRIEND. COAL IS KING.
@@AllanLoveJr Coal is GOD
7:48 lol
TRUMP 2020
ol
With the war on coal this will soon be history sad.
Not without a fight! Trump 2020! MAGA! WWG1WGA!

@Billy Rudd My mom is from Floyd County and dad was from Knott County. I totally get it. I ❤ Eastern Kentucky!
