DJI Inspire 1 Drone over Cumberland, Maryland CSX Train Roundhouse 4k

- Flying a DJI Inspire 1 around South Cumberland, over the CSX Train Yard. Also known as the Cumberland Terminal Subdivision. A nice view of the Roundhouse and CSX Buildings.
Although I did check the Cumberland Airport schedule, and there were no flights within my flight window, I kept my distance from their airspace 0.6 miles (1 km) radius from their property as well as keeping below the max legal limit of 400 feet.
This did severely limit my safe flying zone, but nobody wants an airborne collision, with any aircraft unmanned or not!

Love this! My grandparents lived in Cumberland from the early 1900s to the early 1980s. The railroad was dominant over much of that period, especially around WWII and thereafter. Lots of changes over time, though. Every time I visited I would check out the rail action. Back then (1970s) it was the Chessie System right about the time of the big merger - and you could see original B&O and WM motive power (mostly GPs) and some C&O motive power here and there. Things were hopping in Cumberland! Compare that to just a few years later in the early 80s when there were dozens and dozens of Chessie locomotives parked on the tracks between the engine terminal area and downtown. Kind of cool to see, but sad to see the engines parked. The hump yard was always great, too, and I am glad it has stayed active all these years. Back in the old days (early 70s) you could still walk across the yard and approach the tower and talk to the guys working out there. Things change! But that was a great experience for a kid. Thanks for this wonderful video.
+Jim Mahaney Glad you liked the video! Cumberland has always been a train-based city. As far as I can remember, Cumberland had always had train activity.
Thank you for the awesome video. My Great Grandfather worked at csx . I can see the house on west Mary street.
I live in Baltimore now it makes me want to visit Cumberland again. I have not been there in 12 years.

Love all your drone videos of the Cumberland area. Thank you and please keep it up!
+MrRhenry07 Thanks! I'm glad people appreciate the views of the beautiful Cumberland area.
Did you have to get permission from CSX before flying over their property? Because I want to fly around the Tampa CSX.
No, permission is not required to fly safely over railyards. But follow the local community safety standards as set forth by the Academy of Model Aeronautics.
'All pilots shall avoid flying directly over unprotected people, vessels, vehicles or structures and shall avoid endangerment of life and property of others,'
Have fun. Be safe, and I'll check your channel to see your video!
Very nice video. Good idea to document how the yard looks before things go downhill.
Thanks for the compliment. This is a very active yard and Cumberland is a pro-rail town. Let's hope it never goes downhill.
Well, the hump part is closing on April 18th, unfortunately.
Well that's sad. :(
Nice music again This is my hometown I grew up on Glenwood Street back in the days! Keep up the good work! Plus I'm a railroad bluff too!
+Stephen Gregory Thanks! Many people have noted their old (or even their current!) home. Glad you appreciated the video. Surprised how many railroad fans are out there! Check out my other videos for other local sights!
Great job with the drone - you just got a new subscriber.
Thank you Phillip! Hope to impress you with other videos. Keep watching for more!
Wow, well done! I am crazy about trains, but I think I am crazy about drones now!
+Sean Gallagher If you liked that, check out my latest video!

That is excellent as well! I am interested in Cumberland because of the GAP and WSMR, your videos are exceptional and do the area proud. Well done.
+Sean Gallagher Thank you for your kind words. I'll have to get some footage of the Great Appalachian Passage too! Perhaps I'll get some from the air as well as from the ground. Stay tuned!
Are there any intermodal trains?
I never took the time to look if there were any Intermodal Freight Containers. There may have been. In hindsight, it would have been cool to see if there were. I apologize for not making the effort to inspect the loads.
But thanks for watching!
I love how these drone videos always make the trains look like they're model trains lol
It's a great new perspective. Everything looks like a miniature from up there! I have several Train-Drone Videos. Check them out and thanks for watching!

Yes! This yard is featured in TrainSim World.
Thanks for Watching!
Fantastic! This is what drones were invented for! There's another channel csx6900 that does a lot of drone videos of mountain railroading in former L&N Cumberland Valley Division - SE KY. Filmed a lot of hard to get to, and impossible to access places.
Btw, interesting choice of music. Sounds like background for a corporate video brochure type presentation.
Drones are everywhere! And this is why. To get a bird's eye view of our planet. Just a few years ago you'd need a helicopter to get sights like this.
Just recently, drones have become 'tools' for many to see those dangerous or hard-to-get-to places for inspections, etc.
Thanks for the information, I'll be sure to check out those other channels!
Ha ha, many people comment on my music choices. Some like it, others don't.
The selection of royalty-free soundtracks is rather limited.
Love it! Thanks for sharing!
Glad you liked it. I appreciate the Likes, Comments and Shares. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!
+MysteryShadow1969 cool thank you and your welcome. and the other video is cool to. sweet i'm always a rail fan and loving trains all my life since i was 1 year old now 31 years later still love them and still learning about them. does this line go threw rockville, silver spring area more or less.
+Phillip Lee I've taken the Amtrak from here (Cumberland, Maryland) to Washington D.C. (WAS) Union Station several times. And yes, it does indeed go through Rockville, Maryland. I've always loved trains as well.
cool
Wow, fantastic video! The quality is amazing! I needed this video to see how actually a train simulator game called " CSX Heavy Haul" copyied this roadhouse,and.... it's the same! millimeter per millimeter!
Glad I could be of service! Now I have to check out this game simulator. Hope you were able to watch in 4k UHD resolution. Thanks for watching!
Let me know what do you think about the game) if you live over there you can tell me how actually they copyed all the Sand Patch Grade, and i would be very happy to know if they have done a realistic map job all over the route
This game is AMAZING! It really looks like that. I've seen this scenery before by train, and it really does look like that! Even the look of the mountains, the buildings, etc are accurate!
Wow, thank you! Now i will play that game with more enthusiasm then before... =P
Who originally built and owned this railyard?
The line was built by the Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road (B&O) in the 1850's as part of its original main line, known then as the "West End." To the east it connects with the Cumberland Subdivision leading to Washington, D.C. and Baltimore. To the west it joins the Keystone Subdivision heading towards Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. To the southwest it joins the Mountain Subdivision leading to Grafton, West Virginia.
Thanks for watching!
nice work really enjoying the tours
Thanks friend!
I have several others. Check them out!
i think that yard is a map on train sim world CSX heavy haul
Ha ha! That's awesome.
You're absolutely correct! I just saw that game a few weeks ago. Amazed how close the game is to real life! The terrain and scenery is spot on.
at 2:00,,see the 4 engines on 2 tracks to the far right?
In June,1977 I was there and I photoed a WM RS3 # 197 with capped stack sitting on one of those tracks.
Back then the stub tracks ran almost to the sidewalk.
Wow, that's really cool! Thanks for the History Lesson! Got pics to share?
i have slides. one of these days i want to put them on the net.
i have not photoed for over 20 years now.
i started in 1976 and the crap running around today just does not interest me at all.
in fact the first train i photoed was Penn Central.
i took many trips covering the eastern half of the country.
Would be awesome to see your pics from back then! Let me know when they're posted somewhere.
the last photoing i did was 1994-5 when the demise of the santa fe was coming.
spent those 2 years shooting those red/silver brand new diesels in illinois.
aug 1983 spent a week on the tpw from iowa to ind.
rode the very last clinchfield excursion from ky to sc in 1978.
many many memories with good friends.
Please share those good memories! I'm sure the other railfans here would love it.
this music is absolutely putrid
nice an 8 stall roundhouse and look at the size of the backshop that is the huge long building with the high roof behind it where they do refurb on locomotives and possibly new construction of rail products though I heard the importance was downgraded but still they have shops there, and a good size yard from the looks of it.
Cumberland, Maryland has always been (and still is!) a very Train-Oriented City! Trains have always been a part of the city since I moved here in 1975.
The CSX Train Yard is one of the more active Yards. I have other Rail Videos, check them out! Including more of this Yard! Thanks for watching.
yes so is my city though not like it was in the steam era we had a big roundhouse and up till 1926 machine and blacksmith shops, as well as an errecting shed and boiler shop, but then in 1926 it says in the history book of the b&o they closed the shops and moved the 16 machines to willard and the yard in chicago, though in 1948 they enlarged the ash pit and put up a coal tower though that was only used another 10 years till March of 1958, when the last official B&O train was pulled on special rail club from chicago to willard, and then back and that was the end, the real travisty is that the B&O did not save any of the T3 class locos and they were the last ones used and one pulled the last trip on the B&O, our town wanted to buy one to put in a park but we did not have the money nor did we have enough budget to save the old 32 stall roundhouse there were people that wanted to save the old roundhouse belive me, but just not enough funds, and that was the last of the shops to come down, but the foundations are still there and the part of the old smoke stack for the powerplant and its coal bunker is still there though badly crumbled, and the last steam era building in its origional spot survived till last year the oil house, but it had asbestos, and had collapsed in on itself soo they tore the building off of it but the dock of cement is still there, and you can also see where the footer of the coal tower was by a single iron band that looks really old and mangled in some cement, that was likely part of the shed where the cars would go to dump the coal to load the skip bucket to put it in the top, we do have the old freight shed though and that is our b and o and railroad musiume that was moved and expanded a bit to hold the collection and we have a huge model railroad club in the basement that has been growing since the 1990's, oh and the old watchman tower and one of the coaches on the capital limited is sitting outside along with a mail car, and some old signals, and one person in town got an old simaphor signal for his house when he retired from the railroad which at that point was csx, but we too around here are on the old b and o main and they did let us have a mow shed, and a double track set off for the rip track which has a large pole barn for the trucks they use to repair cars and derailments I suppose, though the large car dept shed is not like the 4 track 318 foot car shop that used to be there but the rip track is still in the same place it always was and you can still see on air photo the outline of the old carshop that closed in 1906. :}
The Western Maryland Railway (reporting mark WM) was an American Class I railroad (1852-1983) which operated in Maryland, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania. It was primarily a coal hauling and freight railroad, with a small passenger train operation.
The WM became a property of the Chessie System holding company in 1973, although it continued independent operations until May 1975 after which time many of its lines were abandoned in favor of parallel Baltimore and Ohio Railroad lines. In 1983 it was fully merged into the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, which later was also merged with the former Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad into the Chessie System, which is now renamed as CSX Transportation.
yes thats right chessepeake and ohio , baltimore and ohio, western Maryland, and seaboard systams merged in the largest privet merger of railroads at the time and that is why it had the x for experamental since it was the largest of its kind at the time, but a lot of people dont know that about the x in csx, at least that was according to the book on the history of the B&O to CSX that was written in the 1980's that we have up at the library on railroad history.
The name came about during merger talks between Chessie System, Inc. and Seaboard System Railroad, Inc., commonly called Chessie and Seaboard. The company chairmen said it was important for the new name to include neither of those names because it was a partnership. Employees were asked for suggestions, most of which consisted of combinations of the initials. At the same time a temporary shorthand name was needed for discussions with the Interstate Commerce Commission. CSC was chosen but belonged to a trucking company in Virginia. CSM (for Chessie-Seaboard Merger) was also taken. The lawyers decided to use CSX, and the name stuck. In the public announcement, it was said that "CSX is singularly appropriate. C can stand for Chessie, S for Seaboard, and X, which actually has no meaning." However, in the August 9, 2016 article on the Railway Age website stated that " ... and the ‘X’ was for ‘Consolidated' ". The T had to be added to CSX when used as a reporting mark because reporting marks that end in X means that the car is owned by a leasing company or private car owner.
