Dang, that third clip has four locomotives two high hoods and two dash 8’s

Bro doesn’t know it, but that second locomotive leading in the second clip is for your that is a dash 8 wide cab

CSX really let this beautiful line go to hell, They should sell the EK off to RJ corman or the Kentucky Steam place in Ravenna

I watched this so much as a kid, I'm 16 now last time I've seen this was well over 10 years ago

End of an era. Thank you for sharing this. I lived in KY back in the 80s and recall CSX’s attempt at this. I couldn’t believe it when I looked up and saw a streamlined F locomotive headed our way.

I love the old Lesile horns!

From jackson thru beattyville, this was an amazing find. Ive walked miles of those tracks as a kid. And those streets in beattyville are gone, its all redone now. I would love to see from beattyville on to Irvine ky... absolutely an amazing video !

This unit now got a K5la!

Thank you for doing this Joe!

Chessie power with grey ghost is Kenova, West Virginia passing under the N&W. :-)

Just subscribed ! Great vid. What a loss to the community . What does it look like in 2023 ?

Well done vid , Joe . Man , this is ANOTHER run I thought would never end . So glad I got this while it was in full glory. Is there ANY hope of restoration of this line ?

Joe , I feel your pain . This section of the L&N used to be my most favorite part of the country . I live in Cleveland , TN. and had made the drive up MANY , MANY times . After viewing and article in a mid 1980's CTC Board magazine , Steve Glischinski and I made it our mission to cover this line ; Coal , TOFC, Manifest , Auto Rack and of course the Roadrailer trains were ALL fair game. It was a shooting gallery up here and we just cleaned up over the years. The helper station at Chaska was a great starting point and the crews were happy to supply line ups and stories. Got several rides up the hill over Duff Mountain. These days it is just sad , sad , sad ..... I had so much fun up here in the 1980's and thought it would never end. Would love to compare notes with you sometime. Great vid by the way . Northbound coal , odd , no ?

I find this vid very interesting , I well remember this service . I photographed many of these runs in Kentucky , Tennessee and Georgia . My favorite motive power was of course the four F Unit locomotives numbered 116 , 117 , 118 and 119. I have seen between 9 and 91 trailers pulled by these iconic engines. One day , I was chasing the northbound train ; R 210 thru southern Tennessee and was set up at a curved bridge over Cove Creek , just south of Jacksboro , TN. After getting this fine broadside shot , I hiked back to my car , drove out to the highway that followed the CSX right of way . When I got to this road I was totally surprised to see the train right in my line of sight ; BACKING UP . To this day , I never figured out what was occurring before my eyes. I was easily able to get a good lead on the train and set up for several great shots in the Kentucky portion of the run. That was a fine chase for me , one of many in this era. I still am amazed the management allowed these vintage power sets on the main line with the hottest train over the road . You will note that at no time during this video were the cab units shown powering the train. Amazing ..... Look forward to any other comments from those fans that were able to view this long gone operation.

God this brings back memories! Thank you for this incredible catch Joe

Awesome to see this legacy video on the *CSX* _Xpress Railer_ branded RoadRailer equipment. Thanks for posting 👍🏿

I work for UPS, occasionally we see these units in our yard as lease units, they are pretty beat up from use, but the advantages of not having to use a rail yard crane to remove them from the rail seams like a good idea, but now that most manufactured goods come from over seas it doesn't really make sense for the current manufacturing sector transportation here in the US. They might be a good choice now that fuel costs have really run a lot of truckers out of business, and might be better use for refrigerated transport of produce, and other rail transportation locations.

The signal bridge is gone replaced by two daul head signals

Can't wait for it to Be under it's own steam After it's overhaul!

Joe, the music alone was worth the visit. But, the powerful overhead images spoke volumes of excitement. I'll check out some of your other videos for sure.

Failed technology.junked

HI I'm putting together a video on the C420, would it be ok if I used some of this footage?

Oh man! I can't get enough of #152!

Tadpole, lol. try Typo.

The 152 is undergoing restoration at the Kentucky Railway Museum.

We need more videos like this

Thanks.

Man, the Air Comp resembles SRC 90's So Much

I have some of the original 1850 and 1860s Railroad Spike off the old Louisville and Nashville railroad

What a treat ;D don't you just miss this era of railroading?

nice video, like seeing all the old power

when was this filmed?

Looks much different than the Wabash National RoadRailer

Nice

They do this for every sub?

Geometry car trip played backwards. 🙂

Is there a video on how to load this?

We'll never see or hear this again. Thanks for filming and sharing.

Love it man! I've always wondered what the place looked like before the big crash and the yard closed. Cash amburgey was the last road foreman there in Ravenna before the yard shut down. I gotta say alot of your stuff is a window into the past! I saw some Chessie and Family Lines in the video there

Why the hammer rung bell?

IF 722 were to be restored, this would be its future whistle

Sounds like this is a different whistle!

I never worked have guess that a UP unit would lead a Z544, that's crazy, was corman looking to buy new units?

Hey man I don't know if you still reply ti comments, I railfan in Richmond Kentucky, and I see your videos as kind of a time capsule of what this subdivision used to be. Can you remember any fun or cool catches you've seen? What's the best spot to railfan at?

Damn how dare they replace the Bryant Zinc bell at Scott Ave.

Awsome catch that is probably 23j or 28k

What are those buildings that were being constructed? Nice video!

Hey man it would be cool if you could get a video of a RJ Forman train going threw Versailles again on the gated crossing towards downtown and the railroad crossing that goes across the bypass, I’ve been wanting to see a train on that line and by the crossings but I ain’t had the time to railfan it, thanks

Great flyover of Danville Yard! Thanks for putting this up.

That was a cool video!
