- This Saturday afternoon had everything a railfanner's heart enjoys to watch! It started for me with a broken 4-engine (including a CEFX leaser) northbound manifest in Hull Ga. and continued with a manifest encounter at Howie Siding that included the southbound L675-22. Then it offered a rare sight: A BNSF powered military train that I followed from Howie to Elberton Ga. Returning into my "home sector" of the CSX Abbeville Sub, a very long manifest CSXT Q616 (10,000ft) made its appearance when it went over the great bridge spanning North Ave in Athens Ga. This train had a mid-DPU. I saw it in Hull Ga. again. Finally, the fifth train of the day, also in Hull, was the 4-engine manifest X801-20 with two Union Pacific units leading. I chased it to Howie again, where the circle closed after more than 100 miles and where the day concluded at moonlight. Enjoy in HD! [© 2015 MBMARS Productions.

Second video of yours we have watched. Thanks for sharing with us. My wife and I live in Gwinnett County, Georgia and visit Auburn frequently. Plan to visit the Elberton soon. Keep up the good work. Gene and Nancy Bivings
+Gene Bivings Thank you very much! I hope I can visit Auburn soon again. It's a very nice railfanning location. Elberton has many interesting spots, but it is way more industrial than Auburn.
Great video once again. The military train was carrying parts of the 82nd Airborne Divisions Special Troops Battalion & 2nd Brigade Combat Team back to Ft Bragg, NC. They had completed a training rotation at the National Training Center (NTC 15-09) @ Ft Irwin, CA.
Thanks very much! Note that this is an old video from 2015.
@@mbmars01 Thanks I'm slowly trying to make my way thru all the military train videos on RUclips ID'ing them. At last check I've identified 369+ with about 1k to go & 20 or so added a month. Once I identify a train I place it by year into a folder on my playlist. Hopefully doing this will make people realize how common military trains are.
Good video!
+Nicola636128 Thanks!
Awesome videos!
+NVKRailVideos Thank you! Glad you like 'em!
Great video. Cool shots. Looked like a lot of action going on in GA on that day.
It's by far not always like this, but this was definitely a good day.
mbmars01. Yes that would be good if I was always that busy.
Great videos, loved to watch them!
+Pieter Vierhovood Thank you!
nice video man.
+Armando Santana Thank you!
csx 화물열차 이거도 장대열차 이네요 ! 미국 케나다 등 이런나라는 국토가 넓고 실어나를 화물이 워낙 많기 때문입니다 !
while living with my dad in homestead pa,i saw the unstoppable movie train going past. It had twin sets of the locomotives used in the movie. also,nice catch!
Wow, very cool!
+mbmars01 yeah, it was. in still thinking about it
I watched the movie once more recently and really like it. It's always fun to research the true story first and then watch the movie.
+mbmars01 i did too!
Epic catches! Loved the BNSF Military Train!
+BNSFguy 617 Many thanks. Yeah, the BNSF led military train was really unusual. I haven't seen one before or after on the Abbeville.
I love BNSF
BNSF means Burlington northern santa Fe
Csx Are My Favorite Out Of Other Trains
+Roll Tide Alabama I also like CSX, but it's nice to see some "foreign" power here as well occasionally.
+mbmars01 I live in Athens GA N That's All I see is Csx n I love It
Roll Tide Alabama
Perfectly understand, but Norfolk Southern is also active in this area and the Piedmont Division is close with very nice railfanning locations (e.g., Buford, Gainesville, Lula, Cornelia).
Niiiiice
+kevin butler I'm glad you like it!
+m
., right
Good stuff, good stuff. Trivia: the mile points are the distance to Petersburg, Virginia. The former northern terminus of the Seaboard Airline RR.
+moonspots01 Very interesting. Thank you for this information; I didn't know this.
Very good catches! Great to see how you followed and explained what was going on. Thanks. A new subscriber. Allyn
+1TexasAllyn Great! Thanks, I'm glad you like it.
Nice video and catches. My favorite was the military train. It is always an honor to watch videos where the military is being assisted by the various railroads like you had in the video (in this case BNSF). I also liked how you described what was going on.
+Donald Conklin It is encouraging to get such nice feedback. Thank you!!
That's good, I am glad I am an encourager! You're quite welcome!
+Donald Conklin Haha, that's actually quite important. Thanks.
Ok. Not a problem. Enjoy the rest of your day!
+Donald Conklin Thank you. Same to you!
great video mbmars01
Thanks! Great you like it!
Wow. I counted 172 cars on that Q616 10,000 ft manifest train. The first two trains looked long, too. I'd ask if this is because of the economy but I lived in Flowery Branch, GA between 1991 and 2002, and saw intermodals on the Norfolk Southern Greenville sub with 187 trays (longest train I've ever seen to date), so they've apparently been doing this for awhile. Given the hogbacks in your video and elevations those trains have to traverse it's evident that the new higher-horsepower engines and remote DPU technology are letting railroads do some amazing things.
(When I was a kid growing up in Springfield, MO I once asked an engineer if 185-car trains could be run on the old Frisco, now BNSF, which I doubt is any more challenging than the NS Greenville sub and your CSX Abbeville one. He replied: "An engineer would have to be an ARTIST to run a train that long (on the subs out of Springfield).)
While living in GA I caught several trains between Winder and Athens on your sub as well. GREAT work on this video!
+Kurt Wayne Cool, thanks for this information. It's right, there are many trains that are as long as the lengths of the sidings permit, sometimes even a bit more (in which case there is bit of maneuvering necessary if they meet another train). However, with the hills and grades, long and heavy trains often cause troubles, in particular, if there has been heavy rain or even snow making the track slippery. I noticed three stalls in four days on the same hill recently. So, maybe they are currently reaching the limit of what is possible here.
great, great, great video taking as always, (from Canada)
+Harold Smuck Glad you like it!
Wow, what impressive railroading that day, well filmed.
+Robert F. W. Whitlock Thanks! Wish it would always be as busy.
vídeo muito bom gostei muito Abraços Sbc ( Brasil )
+Luiz Carlos Muito obrigado - many thanks!
Good stuff!
Thanks!
