Best of CSX Transportation. They sure had some fine catches. Heritage units included too. CSX is a nice railroad

[jonw]

That opening shot at Dalton I use to set in that parking garage back in early 90’s as I worked as a consultant at a carpet mill there for about six months. There was a dinner next to the track there as the Carpet company took me there to try to hire me and C40-8 7575 in ghost gray went by the window so close felt like I could lean out and touch it.

They sure are beautiful. Thanks for sharing

[johnbutner]

That bridge @ 50:30 OMG I would be terrified (I hate water but I love bridges) but it looks like it's been there for 80 years. Hard to believe it can hold so much weight. WOW 😵‍💫 Imagine all the kids in those cars probably crying from the astonishment of seeing this live. Better than the circus.

[johnbutner]

The strength of the steel holding these cars together has to be incredible. I can't imagine anything on Earth that moves weighing more than one of these trains.

[johnbutner]

That train ending @ 6:00 I counted 128 cars and I know I probably didn't get them all. I remember counting ones I saw in my home town once and it was over 100, something like this one. Like 10 minutes or more of train. Incredible <3 4 trains! =) They make me smile and cry and I can't explain it. I must have been a hobo in a former life. =) I know I had one 6 miles from my house and I would cry every time it woke me up at 4AM.

[tatecarlson]

CSX may not be my personal favorite Railroad, but it's slowly creeping up my list, especially since I got a job offer from them to be a Freight Conductor.

[bjjt-nudx]

At 1:00, nice piece of flex track and ME or Atlas turnout.

[jasonbryant]

The sound of 611 the AC6000 is music to my ears I wish they were still around

[Apollotrollz]

Starting off strong with the 7929 you earned a like

ANOTHER BRODGE - KNOXVILLE, TN

Another bridge at 1:10:35 also in need of some
The era in which this was built means that the steel was of an outstanding
It needs looking after to preserve

Great video, top notch! Love the channel! 👍😎

[csxrailfanneraident]

Nice! that vid in evansville, i go there a lot because its only about 30-40 mins away from me.

[CSXEK]

Ah yes the railroad I’ve grew up with all my life CSX is my favorite railroad had will be

[gohan]

I go by that train yard a lot in Dalton, GA but I don't ever stop to watch freight trains. Really I seen the CSX trains all the way down past Marietta going to Florida. There's a shipping container yard in Chatsworth, GA and they will either pass it or stop there and load up like 200 cars
