Great video. Nice selection of scenes. Thank you. I'm from Southwestern PA, in what was B&O / WM country. Love to see trains running in coal country.in any state. Please keep up the great work.
another Great video Micah...looks like you all travel about 90+ miles. My wife and I really enjoy your videos and the info your provide in them. Especially, the various cities you name and also the drone footage. We are both in our late 60's and have just purchased a home in Central Florida last week. It is about 30 miles SE of Wildwood, FL and as we were out driving around last week, I see that there is a CSX yard there. So, I'll be wandering that way once we get moved in a few months. Leaving chilly Central Ohio and headed to Sunny Central Florida. May God continue to bless you and your endeavors and keep up the good photos & videos. Charlie & Louise in Central Ohio
@@everydaylifewiththebensons285 I appreciate the kind words! And my best wishes to you guys! Be sure to fill me in once you get everything squared away, would love to hear more about that area!
Very good video! Nice drone shots, scanner traffic, f/r train meet, coal loading, and nice captioning! Well done! I also learned that there are scales for trains. Did not know that. Thanks again!
Excellent Vid! Great hustle and shots. I noticed that there were (75) cars rated for 100 ton capacity, but the scale report was well over 8000 tons. What happens to the excess ..does csx just let that slide, or do they still hire a contractor to physically unload the excess? Enjoyed the trip down memory lane!
@@curtis-thebicentennialist1776 Fantastic observation, I’m impressed! What my friends and I concluded is that it also considered the weight of the cars within its scan, though it very well could be something different. If anyone else knows feel free to respond!
I watched it again and what I believe I heard was the M542 going over the job briefing with dispatch and relaying their length and tonnage of 8,069 tons but while the video footage was on the coal train. I didn’t hear anything specific about the scale tons. Am I correct or delusional? 😂
@@railfanmicahturner ok, the OCD in me caused me to revisit. The gross weight of this train would be approximately (10,257) Tons. 2 locomotives (432 tons), 75 empty aka tare steel cars (2,325 tons) resulting in a overall tare weight of 2,757 tons. 75 loaded cars' net contents at 100 tons (7,500 tons). So the 8k + tons discussed over the radio after train passed scales, would be net coal tons. This number is vital in order for a bill of lading invoice to be generated to the end buyer, both for the coal seller and shipper.

Back for another look. Outstanding videography and editing. Great captions too. A very professional job. Thanks again.
CSX does a good job of painting the heritage locos

@@railfanmicahturner - I will do that and who knows, maybe I can get in touch with Danny Harman of Distant Signal

As usual great video. Enjoyed watching. Thanks.
Ty for the heads up .good ppl .may God bless you and your family
Great work, Micah. I think the B&O unit is a halfway decent one.
Great video. Keep them coming. Coal is what keeps the lights on. And electric car fuel. Haha.
As a long time coal customer this video was very enjoyable. Wonder how many tons each gondola holds. Thanks and God bless,
@@mariofilippi3539 Modern hoppers usually hold 100 tons 🙂
Very Nice Bro
Thanks for sharing
This was very cool to watch!
Nice thanks for sharing 🙌🙌🙌🙌

Was the 2 engines that hooked to loaded train to pull it back the same 2 that brought the empties in?'
How many DPU'S on end of train?
@@robertdean9392 Yep, they were the same two. No DPU’s, the engines just ran around the train and tied back on for the journey back north 🙂
Is this Mike n Shana Turner daughter?
@@millardhardy8093 Nope, our Turners came out of Big Laurel, Ky 🙂
Without having to wrack my idiot brain and research, what is '' CV'' the abbreviation please?
