Thank you, Drayton, for documenting the Norfolk Southern trains in this video shortly after Norfolk Southern took over the rail line from Cincinnati, Ohio to Chattanooga, Tennessee which the Norfolk Southern purchased from the City of Cincinnati, Ohio. I enjoyed watching the different Norfolk Southern trains in this video while learning about where the trains originated and terminated and where some of the trains stopped to work train yards as they traveled between their origins and destinations.

This has to be one of my favorite video so far as a nickel plate road fan this has a little bit of history I believe back in the 1980s Nick wrote 765 did a excursions on the Rat Hole Division There is a DVD called Wheeling in the Rathole so when I saw this video posted it brought back memories of that DVD. Keep up the fantastic work love watching your videos thanks again and have a awesome weekend
I really enjoy watching and listening to the history of Norfolk Southerns Rat Hole Line as well seeing the awesome train footage on the tracks take care and thank you.🚂🚃🚃🇺🇲
Excellent video documenting the history and trains of the Rat Hole Line. I appreciated the informative and clear narration that accompanied the well done videos. A great combination!!!
Great shots and great commentary! Not the same old same old, although admittedly there is only so much you can do photographing trains, y’all got it right making it interesting. Great location this time and smooth commentary.
US Railroads move more than twice as much tonnage as the entire rest of the world combined. US Railroads have the most skilled personnel, operating an amazing network. Thank you for the videos.
Superb video! Great coverage and information on the line. I hope you all will cover the rest of the line from Cincinnati to Oakdale. It’s a great line for rail fanning.
"29A runs on Norfolk Southern's Calumet Yard in Chicago to Inman Yard in Atlanta." I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago and now I live in a suburb of Atlanta.
Great video as always! Though I did just notice, it's 2024, I think it's time for 4k or at least 1440p video uploads now. You put such great work into production, yet still deliever at 1080p.
Not many people watch in 4K. Video files are 2x the size in 4K. I have 20,000TB of video saved on external hard drives. It’s expensive to store that much data and 4K would only make it more challenging.
5:06 my favorite train symbol NS 278. Becuase it has a variety of colors and autoracks, and usually 80% of the time has good power on it like a tier 3 or a tier 2
Between Cincinnati & Harriman Jct. they were 26 tunnels 😮 that route was modernized in the early 60's the few tunnels left became enlarged to accommodate trailers on flats 😮 I came to work in 1979 so the generation that worked the route in those days were gone 😮
@DelayInBlockProductions I work in Nicholasville at Corman and poke my head up everytime I hear a train. Just to see what's going by. Probably 70 or 80 trains in my 10 hr shift.
I wish Tennessee valley railroad museum still did fall train rides from Chattanooga to Oneida and back my dad took my mom and me one one year I think sometime around 94 or 95 4501 was going to pull the train but had mechanical problems was pulled by diesels I can’t remember what they used just remember it was NS engines
You should do a video about ns in my area! Its not far from here I think it’s in new Albany Indiana and Georgetown Indiana, it’s a pretty unique place well to me atleast but has a lot of history
I wished when you video these trains you would back off from them some, sometimes your so close that you can’t see what’s on the cars other than that I enjoy your videos thanks drayton.
Flying a drone out of a active tunnel is the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen in all my years of filming trains. Even though there was no train at that time, always expect one, and a drone is the last thing a engineer will expect in a tunnel.

That was an awesome look at Huber!
Great video from our home state!
Those black numberboards on 8167 looked so good. I like that way better than white.
They're a classic look on the engines.

Want Tell You I Was Really Enjoying This Video Of North Fork Southern Trains. I'm From Kentucky.
I'm glad you enjoyed it, and Kentucky has some great railroading too.

🦃🦃 🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🦃🦃
Thanks so much! Happy Thanksgiving to you too!
Great video. 👍🏼
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
This is a very awesome video to watch rock on
Drayton, I have some pics of that derailment from a few years ago
Between Cincinnati & Harriman Jct. they were 26 tunnels 😮 that route was modernized in the early 60's the few tunnels left became enlarged to accommodate trailers on flats 😮 I came to work in 1979 so the generation that worked the route in those days were gone 😮
I seen 2 trains on the rat hole last week my 1st ever IM I’ve ever seen in person and it might have been the 29A
It's a great spot to see trains, especially in the heart of the Rat Hole!
@DelayInBlockProductions I work in Nicholasville at Corman and poke my head up everytime I hear a train. Just to see what's going by. Probably 70 or 80 trains in my 10 hr shift.
Thanks for posting on the rathole
You're welcome! The Rat Hole is a great place to see trains. We have many more videos planned on this line. -Drayton

That's a cool memory, thanks for sharing!
Thanks👍
Thanks for watching!
You should do a video about ns in my area! Its not far from here I think it’s in new Albany Indiana and Georgetown Indiana, it’s a pretty unique place well to me atleast but has a lot of history
Thanks for the suggestion! I'll look into it.
How do you know when a train is coming? I love trains. Is there a app to hear when they are coming through or what
15:27 is probably someone's wallpaper now. Might be mine.;)
Now try to imagine Southern Railway #4501 running a freight train through the Rat Hole...
Ahhh! Those MacStacks!!!!!
I know Oakdale but can you tell me how to get to the Tunnel? Thanks
please explane intermobile
That's when I was born November 12th 2002
Nice! Happy birthday.
@DelayInBlockProductions thanks
I wished when you video these trains you would back off from them some, sometimes your so close that you can’t see what’s on the cars other than that I enjoy your videos thanks drayton.
I’ll consider that for future videos! Thanks for watching. -Drayton
OK, who is this??
New narrator?
Yes, Ralph Vossberg. How do you like his voice?
@ sounds good I like it
I want to be a moderator
Man dat wagons 😳😳😳😳

LOL. It was maybe 10ft inside and there were no oncoming trains within 45mins of us. Calm down.
Yeah... that could have caused a derailment. 😆 🤣 😂... those drones are bulletproof!
I'm quites sure the drone would loose. 😆 🤣 😂
Always gotta be that negative Nancy that knows everything and God's gift to earth. It's a freaking drone man take a Valium
What's the man version of a Karen? 😂😂
