RAILROADING REELS Ep. 5 // RAHM!

The fourth episode of a series of short films, or reels, that show off my favorite things about railroading. This video comes from a time at CSX that morale was high and the work was plentiful. I was on a regular assignment, Q226, that took the Baltimore bound train to Indianapolis via the LIRC. Once we arrived in Indy we handed the train over to a Crestline crew and we'd hop in a taxi and come...

    Thank you so much for your descriptions of the early line between Louisville and Elizabethtown. I have been trying to find out more about Muldraugh Hill and surrounding area along the line during early Civil War - Sept 1861..... You gave me an actual description of that part of the route! Yay! I'm following the 39th Indiana Infantry from Jay County through their time in Kentucky before the Battle of Shiloh. Their regimental history is scant when it comes to their time and mission at Muldraugh Hill, Camp Nevin and Camp Wood along the L&N Line.

    That was the funnest eras of railroading. Power lash ups from all the former lines and old rolling stock that for a time seemed to be getting extra use before it all disappeared. I lived close to the main to Chicago in southern Indiana and it was common for a few years to see them double head the trailer train to Chicago on Sunday afternoon along with many other unusual consist. 6-12 units of every name and era all mixed together, even road slugs and yard switchers thrown in for main line power. Some you would see over and over for awhile, others I'm sure may well of been on a fair well journey to the scrap yard.

    Wow! Something about just feels trippy, especially passing by Clagg Tower and moving through the trusses. The positions of the camera and the way it seems to float. Do anything special, or did you just hold the camera outside the window? Maybe it's fascinating because I've never seen a cab video over a stretch of Louisville track I've known for years. Anyways, thanks for putting this up!

      Btw, you mentioned morale at CSX was at a high at the time. I know that was a couple years before PSR changed everything. Even so, as a railfan since the 90s, I've heard mostly complaints about working for CSX compared to other railroads.

    really nice vid... in the early 90s i hired on as a switchman for the chicago and northwestern and worked at our janesville wis yard GM assembly plant (now demolished) ... i worked our "plant job" as a helper a few times, could never hold it regular as the foreman and helper hired on in 1966... that was one of my favorite jobs it was always cool to see the inside of that plant... however the crossings on the plant grounds were WORSE than any highway crossing i've ever seen... speed demons for real... those UAW plant workers would rawhide those new tahoes all over the plant grounds, you had to be really careful when going through those crossings... keep making these vids, brings back nice memories of fun times switching

    I love it that “My Old Kentucky Home” was played at the intro. At least they got that right. Cumberland Falls is actually in McCreary County, which is Southern Railway (now Norfolk Southern) territory. It has a Whitley County address. The old L&N freight and passenger depot in downtown Williamsburg still stands. CSX doesn’t run very many trains through the area any longer.

    • @Nethanel773
      @Nethanel773 2 года назад

      "CSX doesn’t run very many trains through the area any longer." I know CSX lost traffic on the CV and EK Subs from mines closing. But you mentioned WIlliamsburg, that's on the CC Sub. So traffic on that line has fallen, too?
