CSX Across the Blue Ridge Mountains & The Engineering Marvel that Made it Happen

- CSX is the present day Class I that operates over the former Clinchfield Railroad, a strategic north-south rail line over 4 mountain ranges linking the heart of Appalachia in Kentucky, Virginia, and Tennessee, to population centers in the Carolinas. It is both the most recently built mainline of this scale in the eastern US and most efficient crossing of the Blue Ridge Mountains in North Carolina, made possible by the "Clinchfield Loops", an engineering marvel that zig-zags up the mountainside maintaining grades well less than the Southern's famous Old Fort loops and Saluda Grade which both cross the same mountains to the south.
Though traffic on this line was sparse during our visits in late 2019 and early 2020, we chased trains through the tunnels and over bridges across the scenic, remote mountain region.

I did enjoy your railfanning adventure. You really do all lot of research for your videos. We sure do appreciate your narrative.
Wonderful video!
super train video bro
I live close to spruce pine so I railfan the loops most days I’m off from work
What an incredible railroad. Sometimes you have to give up quantity over quality. Superb production as usual.
Fantastic footage
Stunning scenery, beautifully filmed featuring long heavy freight trains battling Blue Ridge mountain grades with their incessant curves and multiple tunnels. Magnificent. Thanks so much for sharing.
