Americas Longest Passenger Coach Train Passes Ghost Town Of Thurmond West Virginia, Amtrak & CSX!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- Longest Passenger Train You Will See In America With 3 Amtrak Locomotives & A Long CSX Coal Train Pass The Vacant Ghost Town Of Thurmond, West Virginia! Population 5! A huge steam locomotive coaling tower is next to the CSX tracks. We see the Autumn Colors Express train with 3 Amtrak locomotives including an Operation Life Saver locomotive pulling all kinds of passenger cars. The first train to pass is a CSX mixed freight. Then the special passenger train passes on its way from Huntington, West Virginia to Hinton, West Virginia. Amtrak locomotives and crew power this special train every year about this time so that people can enjoy the leaves changing colours and also attend the Hinton yearly festival. We also see a long CSX coal train with 3 locomotives. The main part of town is right behind this train. I filmed a few more coal trains including a huge coal train coming off the Pax branch which is an RJ Corman Railroad line. I will have a couple of more videos with the other coal trains and a train doing some railroad switching to pick up a couple of tank cars on the Pax line. Check those videos out!
Here are the best frequencies to use to listen in on the railroad action: 160.230 CSX road, 160.320 CSX dispatcher, 160.845 RJ Corman and 452.9375 for End Of Train device.

This Is What Happens If You Stand Too Close To A Fast Moving Coal Train!! ruclips.net/video/ECfgeXZbGJE/видео.html
I should say. (Heatwave). They had a guy called Rod Temperton. He was a fish filleter from East Coast of England. I am from NE Scotland.
They made song about him.
Play that funky music white boy.
More than half my family worked on the fish.
My late wife was a train conducter.
My Grandfather was an engineer on the trains. He actually got asbestosis, but died watching Aberdeen football club actually win. From heart attack. That will probably happen to me if we win again.
@@rayw3294 Oh, sorry, I didn't understand . You mean Heatwave the band from Dayton, Ohio. Yes, if I knew where their house was I would film it and put in a video. That would be cool. That is awesome that your grandfather was an engineer. That would be my dream job
@@JawTooth
In Scotland, 80% is subsidised by taxpayers. In England 50%.
That is why I love your railways (and Japan). When my wife was working in rail, we got free rail. Went all over Europe. Then Swiss. Zurich to Milan. 50% off and still bloody expensive. I think Swiss do not put up with subsidies.
Every high speed I have been on doesn't even pay the cost of the travel never mind the infrastructure.
Went from Changsha to Shanghai and not one seat was empty (700 miles). China high speed rail cannot pay the cost of the travel (and expensive) never mind the infrastructure.
USA rail does and Japanese.
So watch you mate.
@@JawTooth In UK even 125 MPH cost far more than it was worth. Now spending £100 billion to shave off 10 minutes between London and Birmingham. And still going up. Only very rich people will ever take that train.
Example, we did channel tunnel from St Pancras to Paris. Gave us a salad? We are Brits. A bloody salad. And we got 75% off ticket price. Not for actual people I think.
The lassie did find beers though.
@@JawTooth
Good info.
When we arrived in guar do nord in Paris.
Instantly got beggars on us. Mostly females (middle eastern). We just went outside for a fag. We don't give beggars money anywhere and politely told them to f-off. Then the men appeared asking why we didn't give them money. We told them actually to fu?? Off.
Then down in the subway an actual frog (frenchman) wanted to organise our tickets. We said "do you think we are blind". My wife had better explanatives.
Basically ferme le busch in Scots.
We actually f'd it up and did 13 stations for the price of 3.
That was the Autumn Colors Express, the six decade-old train ride linking Huntington and Charleston with the town of Hinton during the Hinton Railroad Days Festival. This vintage passenger train brings visitors through the heart of the scenic and historic New River Gorge National Park at the peak of the fall foliage season. Travel aboard luxurious private railcars as you take in iconic views of West Virginia, on this amazing rail excursion.
Sounds amazing... I can see why it has been going for 6 decades.
Great Amtrak train with all those wonderful cars! Wish I could take that excursion. Sounds beautiful!
That was
“Almost Heaven, West Virginia”. Well the scenery is Heavenly! Times sure have changed looking at the remnants of Thurmond. 218 gondolas on that coal train. Thanks JT!
Yes indeed! I love going there. I want to ride Amtrak there
Always a special place in our hearts for car-counters, ST.
Almost Heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Morning!
I don’t consider myself a rail fan. I’m a professional railroader. But I just put Thurmond WV on my bucket list. Not for the trains but for the town it self.
You won’t regret it! Haven’t been there in a few years but I used to camp along the gorge close to town all the time. Such a beautiful place with a rich history. It’s a shame the vast majority of the buildings are gone, but they’ve preserved what they can pretty well, especially the rail station. I plan on trying to buy property there in the near future. Such a peaceful and beautiful place to live.
Great catch jaw 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 cool place . I see 3 Dog night having fun and kitty kitty hanging out 👍🏻 Be safe jaw . 🇨🇦🇺🇸 Robin out .
More train fans , then people who live there.
So cool you are in Thurmond, WV. Its fame has even reached the UK in an Abandoned Engineering documentary. Thanks JT👍
Oh wow! That is really cool. That would be interesting to see.
Man I tell ya.... who doesn't love seeing both Super Dome 53 and Skytop Lounge Cedar Rapids being both paired together and of course at the end of each excursion, be it either pulled by steam or diesel? :3
They do make a great pair of course. ^^
Being from Cedar Rapids, it's nice to see such a beautiful train car. Wonderful train.
@@jananderson672 Indeed. :)
Especially it's red tail light on the rear. ;)
@@jimmyhook4852 😄
@@jananderson672 Heh :3
👍👍👍👍👍 That is one cool old town. Shoestring did a video there several months ago.
Fall colors, old bridge, old structures, as a small boy, I got in trouble for playing in a coal shoot. Good scrubbing in a tub on the back porch and I was white again.
Thanks for the memories Jawtooth.
Usually where I live, Amtrak gas about 4-5 cars. But my God, that's long
Man, that horn echoing back,off the valley sides. Send shivers up my spine!
GREAT video! Just about the longest train I've ever seen, 218 cars! And if there were any apartments available there, I'd be tempted to move down there from eastern CT. Beautiful location with lots of RR history. Keep up the good work!
4 locomotives leading that huge coal train.Very impressive.Nice to see that Amtrak train with all the different cars. I rode the Cardinal through Thurmond both directions two years ago.It is a special place. Thanks for the great video.
Thank you very much! I would like to ride the Cardinal to Thurmond and back
This is probably my favorite location. Love how the trains cut through the mountains. Thank you sensei.
Good morning friends,,,
Good morning, Belladi
@@charlottecunningham2141 hy🙋
Good morning
Hi
Belle vidéo avec de jolies couleurs automnales 🍂
Wat cool observation car! Those buildings in Thurmond would be great for a restaurant or coffee shop. Maybe great way to help attract rail fans along with an observation tower. It’s nice Norfie gets senior Brandy to play with her. The poor duck! A real neat video. Thanks, Jaw Tooth.
That would be cool! They need a restaurant or coffee shop there because it is a long windy drive to get anything to eat or drink
That Amtrak train was the one they used last weekend to run between Huntington WV and Hinton WV for the Hinton railroad event for 4 days last weekend.
Awesome video JT! What a great location! Looking 👀 forward to some more views from Thurmond!👍👍💪
More to come!
That has got to be one of the coolest locations you've been. I remember a previous Amtrak video from there you shot. Love this one thanks.
Super awesome WV footage. Thanks JT!
Awesome work JT, love seeing the fall colors everywhere around Thurmond WVa. Pretty good size Amtrak train with some fancy coaches, and what was once a staple in WVa., coal trains, they still have some importance in the state. I always love your visits to my home state.
Thanks JT.👍🏼
The Specialty Train that you saw heading to Hinton, WV used to be powered by a steam locomotive. The train would stop in Thurmond and do several "photo run-bys" and there would be quite a few railfans there to capture it. I rode on that train in the late '90s.
You promised a passenger train--and boy, did you Deliver!
Beautiful. Thank you.
Yes, thanks
That AMTRAK train with the old Pullman cars was awesome. I rewound the train. Hiawatha on the end!
We still have a coaling tower in McComb, MS not far from my camp. It is near the depot on the IC now CN.
Thurmond is such a magnet. I always enjoy a time trip to the good old days.
Same here!
It's great how you interact with everyone and subscribers!
Thank you very much and have a great week!
Great videos 👍. Nice to see the old coaling tower. Some classic cars on the passenger train and four big GE's leading that coal train.
Great video glad you made it back to Thurmond again
Glad that you got to meet up with JT, Walter
@@charlottecunningham2141 me to film Thurmond a lot so just a short drive from my house
Thanks again! I am glad that you reminded me about the Autumn Colours Express train. I forgot to write it down.
Awesome mixed freight and passenger and coal train JT!!!!
The list of places to visit keeps growing.
This is a must visit. Another good one is East Broad Top Railroad in Orbisonia, Pa.
Thanks JT for making the trip to show us the coaling tower.!!
Any time!
Mr Duck has a loud quack. I’m very surprised Norfie waited as long as she did to chase Mr. Duck. Maybe that was her strategy.
Awesome video with the catches of both CSX trains and that long AMTRAK passenger train! Thurmond is such a neat little town. When I look at it from across the tracks it's like visualizing a model train layout with those old buildings then to turn around and see that old Coaling Tower from the Steam Era! Thanks again JT for another great video along with your PRICELESS time and effort my friend! Cheers from Delmar, Delaware.
Fantastic! Seeing the coal was amazing. I hope the do something to preserve it The whole town seemed cool. Good to see the rail fans out.
Great video, Jaw Tooth. I love the scenery in this area. I hope that you feel better. Thanks for showing this town to us. AWESOME WORK!!!!!!👍😁
Thanks so much
What a superb video this was with a huge Amtrak train with vintage cars including the beavertail observation car from the Hiawatha, and a massive coal haul which almost got me dizzy, 218 cars I think but my eyes were struggling as those hopper cars just kept coming!
I was working all 4 days of the Autumn Colors Express last week. Three days in the Amfleets and one in the Silver Palace.
Yes, what an awesome video from Thurmond West Virginia. I like seeing the old towns especially the special long Amtrak train very cool 😎. I hope you feel better soon Mr. JT
Thank you very much!
This video is a keeper, son! Perfect setting, real West Virginia in the autumn. Thanks for doing these videos, I enjoy them so much.
PS: sorry you have a cold… I don’t think you dress warm enough when you’re on location. Listen to a mom, wear a jacket!!
Thanks for watching! I will have to start wearing my coat. A few days before I filmed this I was out in the cold and it was windy and I just had my jacket on. I was at a burial for my friends dad and I froze
Impressive! All those heritage cars were a sight, including the Milwaukee Road Hiawatha observation car.
Yes indeed!
Lost internet 16 Oct. Had to fly 1500 miles north to Tijuana. Cross border. VA annual medical check up. Got injured while north. Trouble walking. Bad ankle. Regained net yesterday back here in Puebla. Said to myself... . Yup! I was right. This video was better than two pain pills and an elastic wrap. Don't know how you knew, Señor Doctor Jaws. But, this really made me feel better. Gracias por tu video. RT sends, envía, Colonia Centro Histórico, Puebla, México.
Dang! That last train reminded me of the Energizer Bunny…it just kept going and going and going!
The Passenger train is Awesome
That coal train. What a beast.
Feel better JT
I will post the other coal trains also. I got 4 in total and tomorrow will have one
Good video son nice looking old town Amtrak look pretty good nice old passengers car too thanks for sharing my friend nice 4 Eng on that coal train very colorful car ……Robert
I have a friend who loves watching videos on this channel who is an avid N-scale modeler. He always jokes about the length of the trains.
I showed him this one, he looks at the long coal drag and says, "N scale coal hoppers being about $25.00 ea, a coal train like that would cost me about 3 grand!"
Thank you Sir! Wonderful scenery there. Thank you, Thank you!
You are very welcome
Fantastic train spotting video 😀 Greetings from Japan 😀
Greetings from The United States
Missed You Hunter Harrison Special!!!!
Wonderful video, Jaw Tooth! The Autumn Colors Express was bracketed by a CSX mixe freight train and a CSX coal train. I saw that the Amtrak "Operation Life Saver" locomotive was the last engine on the Autumn Colors Express train. The Autumn Colords Express had a lot of interesting private paddenger cars in the consist. That concrete coal tower in Thurmond, West Virginia is going to stay there until it deteriorates on its own. It would cost more money than it is worth to demolish the concrete coal tower. The railfan population that was present to catch the Autumn Colors Express roll through Thurmond, West Virginia increased the population of Thurmond by at least 10% or more. I presume that we will see at least one more video with the returning Autumn Colors Express train in the next few days.
That was an incredibly long coal train .. empties I could tell, .. good stuff as always, JT, thanks man.
I counted 18 cars on the 2nd train. An Amtrak special.
Wow. All the traction at the head of that coal train. The load on the couplers must be pretty impressive. Coal trains in my part of Queensland Australia typically run 12000HP to 16000HP of electrics, but sometimes diesels, but distributed throughout the train. The Indian Pacific passenger train in Australia runs 30+ carriages. SBS Australia did a 17 hour long slow TV program showing an abbreviated crossing of the country. It's a nice watch if you are into that sort of viewing. Lots of shots of the train itself but also the terrain.
Like the coal tower very interesting and of course the trains. Thumbs up
Great video Brian! Thank you so much for sharing! Have a good day to you and yours!
Awesome place Jawtooth! Beautiful there in the fall! Awesome video! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Super like 👍 video my friend! Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷
Listen to that horn echo off the mountains. Awesome sounds
Love the fact its a ghost town and right after that you hear the eerie ailing k5la with doppler effect, great job on how you set that up.😊👍. I gotta say i love when you say live action when the animals are playing on the JT compound 😊
Thanks!
208 cars, can't wait to walk the length of that when I start as a Conductor for CSX on November 20th.
Thanks for another great video Mr. Tooth. Can hardly wait for more videos from this trip and I hope you start feeling better. Take care and once again, Thank You. BP
Really enjoy your videos. Your buddy Wide World of Trains has been mentioning you lately in case you haven’t seen it. Thanks for all you do. Be safe out there.
I will check it out. I haven't had much time to watch videos but I always try to check his.
With some days off this week I am enjoying my RUclips channels and your's has been great thus far. What a beautiful and surreal place to be in autumn to rail fan. I know you've been there before and so has Shoestring. Hopefully I'll convince my wife for a rail fan tour south of 49 eventually. Two thumbs up!
Wow! What A Beautiful Area To See Train Videos There. Loved The Train Horn Echoing In The Distant. Take Care That Cold Jawtooth. Take Vitamin C(Airborne)And Drink Lots Of Water. Get Well Soon Sir!
Was just there back in mid August. What an awesome place. West Virginia is one of the most underrated scenic places in all of America. Definitely will go back.
Awesome video... i need a ride on the Cardinal..has been 19 years...I remember as a young teen riding on the C&O George Washington through there on the Louisville Section of the George....boy do I miss those days.
Yes! Awesome Amtrak catch with Pullman car Alright on it! Great place to film ghost trains as well Thanks Jawtooth! 👍👍😎😎
The Seaboards Hollywood Beach is the 5th car back @ 5:27. I was an extra for a movie the made on it in 1992 with Frank Gorshin. “Hollywood Beach Murders” a ‘B’ movie at best.
Well , you wanted a long coal train and by golly we got one ... Thx Son ... Great vid ...
Place hasn't changed since you were there last. It's unique for sure.
Awesome video JT. Love it when you get back to Thurmond, it sure is a pretty part of the world and the train history there is cool. One of your videos while in Thurmond was my introduction to JT "live action" and I've been watching ever since. Great catches of all the 3 trains but that Amtrak special is really interesting. There is a few cool cars I'd love to have a trip in but that observation car on the end is a gem, a nice piece of rail history.
What a fantastic consist! Most of the best private cars in the world.
Couldn't agree more!
Nice compilation and presentation
Glad you liked it!
Wow JT, that was a nice place you took us today. Just perfect 👌🏻.
I want to spend a night there in Thurmond, take my Overland Trailer, and just hang out and watch the trains.
Here we go another great video! Happy railfanning!
Enjoy!
good sounding horn on that first one especially in the distance
Hiawatha live action!!! So cool 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
4 locos + 218 coal cars! Good one!
Thanks!
It looked like All loco's and coal cars had CSX logo, how unusual is that, for whole long train to be property of the one RR company ?
Rainbow train, also the Milwaukee road cars that traveled from Chicago to Seattle Hiawatha. Very cool!!!
Good morning Sir. Great video as always buddy. Awesome location as well.
50th anniversary operation lifesaver unit on that Amtrak move to nice
Look how many people came to Thurmond for that consist
Merci beaucoup pour cette très belle vidéo ! ✨✨✨✨👍It's a very beautiful place! Thank you very much for this very nice video! 🙏
Beautiful American scenery
Amazing love it
I'm glad you like it
and the horns sounds very nice in this area of nature and the place where the trains crossing trough
Been there. That is one cool spot. Nice catch on the private cars. Great video.
love the ex Milwaukee super dome and observation car, very nice
Dang SON ! Like I always say….” JT is the Dude for train watching “ . Nice one ! But…..coal is a major pollution problem ….LOL . Keep it up Brian !!
I was very surprised that I could go to street view on Google Earth and see the town and they even had several of the Rush Run Coke Ovens to look at. It does not give the blue lines like bigger towns, just the blue dots. But the area seems well kept up. I bet a house there or a piece of land would be pretty cheap. I could live there.
Thurmond, WV is a neat place. I would love to visit there sometimes. Norfie loves going after that duck lol. Great video!
Thanks for watching!
😊interesting video Brian,thanks. greetins from Tony on yor familie.tomorow 24c here.summertime.greetz:🍐Peer.
Nice 👌 👍 love 2 go see that town 😀 hope you get better soon 👍
Nice seeing a coaling tower still surviving.
Long trains!!!! 218 wagons OGO !!!! Cool video Jaw!!)))
Thank you very much!
Even your pets are kool, including Mr Duck.
Thanks for watching Bill!
