The C&O’s Most Profitable Line Still Moving Trains Over 100 Years Later

This one is a great collection of trains on the CSX Big Sandy Subdivision. This former C&O line still sees traffic well over 100 years after it was built. Coal, Freight, and Ethanol trains in this one including one with a KCS engine trailing second. With the purchase of KCS by CP I'm sure that "Southern Belle" paint scheme we all love will be soon a thing of the past. Please if you enjoy the co...

Very cool video I’ve always wanted to do the big Sandy think I might sometime in the fall with the colors on the trees lots of older C&O R2s still left.
A lot of great fall shots on the line... and of course those old signals!! come on down
I love your videos
I love this video
Thank u!
Thanks for the great video, I’ve missed your content. I enjoyed seeing all those old Chessie System cars on those rail trains. Thanks for highlighting the locations in your videos, it’s really appreciated.
Thank you! I’ll be back to posting more often
I love these
Been away too long !!!!!! Need more videos Like to see those US & S in action knocking down those green before train goes passed signal signal Bridge
Coming soon!!
@@eastkentuckyrailfan love and miss seeing those US&S signal in action and the last suspension signal left on east Kentucky line
Awesome video here! Very pretty scenery in Eastern Kentucky, I need to check it out for myself sometime
You should!
@@eastkentuckyrailfan nothing like or equal applications or smoking mountains
Fantastic train clip.
Thank you very much!

Thank you
@@eastkentuckyrailfan You're welcome
very well done big guy like vids i sure miss working for the rail road it was clinchfield back then just dam good old days
Most of the area here was C&O. But yes Clinchfield RR came North to Elkhorn City ky
man love your vid i miss working for clinchfield that was the good old days of railroading
Glad you enjoyed!
I wish they would care for their dash 8s and 9s maybe rebuilt them!
Csx needs to care about their dash 8s and 9s and rebuild them + put them into service again!
When do we a get a chance to see the US&S signals in action again when trains knot down those green signals on the big Sandy
Those heritage units look groovy!
I like them
Nice video of the P&LE, Im sure I can get it next time, as I didnt wake up that day to catch it.. seems like everytime CSX paints a new locomotive, its either on M692 or something else, also i see that little signal at 15:19 lol, kinda first time seeing it, drove by 1428 seen it a couple times.. I dont know if theres more but.. Ill find out.
Which signal are you talking about?
Oh yea that's a new style signal at Dawkins. Not many of those in the area, still mostly old C&O signals here.
@@eastkentuckyrailfan nice..
I just saw the exact same train from the first ten minutes of this video come through the town I live in, in South Carolina about three or four weeks ago! I took pics and posted them on FB, gave my young, aspiring railfan little cousins railroading lessons with them.... And yes, those heritage locomotives are beautiful, especially in person!
Thanks for posting another great video featuring CSX heritage engines on the Big Sandy. It’s always nice to see the heritage engines running on their home tracks.
I agree... glad to get the C&O unit leading the way!
Nice Catch On The CSX Heritage Units
Thanks!
Cool tanker train
An ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING VIDEO!!! Thank you for sharing. I am so glad that I subscribed because I don't want to miss any of these great videos!!! ❤️😃👍
is that plant still in operation?
No unfortunately
No, unfortunately
Nice train video. How long did it take you to edit this train video?
It takes me about 3 hours to edit one long form video
@@eastkentuckyrailfanOkay.
Everyone check out my new channel. Same type of content but I'll be expanding out beyond Eastern KY. 2024 Kentucky Derby train chase is currently on this channel ruclips.net/channel/UCXOTF9M2m8DGEfnS0qTjJnQ
That was a sneaky train meet, slowly peaking around the corner! Cool catch East Kentucky!
Yes it was!
Being on the West coast I love watching the CSX trains in the mountains. Thanks for recording the entire train rather than just the locomotives.
Glad you enjoyed it!
@clintfroke9353, I agree 100%. While I was watching I was thinking about I am glad that the whole train was being shown not just the locomotives.
this video ate!
I couldn't tell you how many times I've went to the parking lot of the Big Sandy Community College and watched trains. My early childhood home is across from the Hagerhill post office where the Dawkins crossed 1428. Thanks for posting!
Wish that line was still open
@@eastkentuckyrailfan Me too! Is there a way I can contact you outside of RUclips?
Seen this happen my cousin got a video of it.. it was a meth house..
Thanks for the drone footage of the grain train. As a modeler it's nice seeing the tops with the grain spillage, replacement walkways, and covers.
That’s really neat to see Russell yard. Never seen the drone video over the yard before. Great video thanks for posting.
Glad you enjoyed it
Why was the 18:04 through 19:04 part muted in this train video? Nice train video by the way.
Thanks for another great video, I really appreciate the time and effort you put into all your videos.
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoy them
Yn2 forever!
Despite what was on the Big Sandy yesterday these are becoming more and more rare to see.
Thank you for these videos. My dad worked on the railroad for 30+ years and he loves them. Especially Shelby!
That is awesome! I’ll try to get back to Shelby soon!!
That line needs a live cam somewhere
I’ve said the same thing
I’ve emailed Virtual Railfan about this.. I didn’t get no reply back, but I think the line has to be like busy or something..
@@JaedensRailfanningProductions yea people have asked them before about putting one at Big Sandy Jct. But they claim their isn’t enough traffic
Guys. Does the CSX Big Sandy Sub in Pikeville Kentucky goes to Kenova West Virginia?
@@ElliottWolcott It might, I looked it up, Im guessing yea.
❤
Up until a year or two ago.. Buffalo Tunnel sat across from where my Mamaw’s house used to be. Was recently demolished after being sold to the school next door.
With E402, I caught something similar to this - except it was all just a section of two bay covered hoppers tacked onto the rear of the only coal train - empty at that - of a six train weekend in 2022 where all I caught was nothing but manifests.
On this line at that.
Would be nice to see the US&S the signals to be knot down when train passes the signal changing signal from green to red .
The video I just edited has that in it…. Will be posting it soon
With all these units sitting around the different places, it makes you wonder what CSX is still using
They have plenty still active
