Awesome video I'm kinda jealous 😂 cause I live here in Augusta and I have yet to see this train arrive for the fair and when the train is here I can never find where they keep it till the fair is over.
Likely due to more curves and grades. Speed restrictions also come into the picture as well. On the NS mainline throughout SC, trains move at 45-49 mph on most sections of the line. Some sections they get up to 60 mph depending on the weight and length. Here on the R-Line with 047 here, #2607 was the only locomotive online for the majority of the trip. The dash 9W wasn't running for whatever reason. One time the empty ethanol train 65H hightailed it up the R-Line out of Columbia one morning and it made it up to Charlotte in a mere hour an a half to 2 hours... 50 mph all the way baby.
I miss them coming to Anderson, SC! We need you back James E Straits
Cool. I lived about two miles from that crossing. Woke me up at 2:30 AM just about every morning.
Cool circus train, nice that you got it at different locations
It's just not the same as the RBBX train.
Nice video. Good chase.

Why do the trains go slow thru SC vs them going super fast thru NC?

@@anscrailfanner6812 O ok but SC has more rural areas than NC right?
@@leonation89 Oh yes, much more. Surprisingly, there are hills in places where one would normally think there aren't.
