Man!!!!! ...That brought back a lot of memories of my days growing up as a boy in Jonesboro... played along those tracks by the Jonesboro City Hall when I was 8 yrs old!!! (put pennies on the tracks to be flattened by the box cars in the spur when they would switch) It was there that I met a great man, Mr. Arley Overstreet, from El Dorado AR...Rock Island conductor, who was kind to me, but very cautious in his admonitions to me to "be careful" beside those tracks!!! I "kept up" with Arley until he passed away several years ago. I can almost bet you that those rails are much older than me... 75 this year... thus the "slow order" on all of those tracks. This video "took me back in time!!".....THANKS!!!!
Been along side of the line from Hodge to Winfield several times. Never knew it was CRIP. Crazy to think at one time we could watch the RI cross the IC at Ruston.
Thanks again for another outstanding video! And thanks for sharing the historical information regarding the GM&O GP-35R. Bring in that neck of the woods, spent many an hour watching the GP-35's and the GP-30's with their alco trucks. It is a shame that there are too many more left in that configuration. Once again, thanks for sharing.
That would be correct... I used to generate the workorders for that facility (and the glue plant!) for the KCS in the Shreveport Service Center before I retired in 2016. And of course, I talked to the folks at the Hodge paper mill almost daily!
Believe it or not, many miles of rail have been replaced from Gibsland south. Pulled up very old 90# rail, replaced it with brand new (2016 forge) 115# jointed rail.
It will be served by CPKC out of Latanier yard. The diamond across the UP at Tioga was pulled up by LAS a few years ago. The wye that served the old paper mill was south of that.
Gibbs was the original name of the land owner who the Vicksburg Shreveport & Pacific RR had to get permission from to cross his land. Both the L&NW and VS&P (later IC) spelled the name of the town "Gibbsland". However, when the US Postal Service established a post office, they dropped a "b" in error. The protests from the railroads fell on deaf ears, and the town's name officially became "Gibsland."

Awesome. Bravo! Best wishes to you.
Have a nice time. Greetings ~ Milan

Very Nice!
I can hear their horns from my office in the courthouse in Winnfield. I do miss the days of the KCS Carla Dodger coming to Winnfield from Latanier.
Very neat operations! I absolutely love watching shortline operations! Keep up the good work!
I recognize that crossing at 06:40. It’s where I caught the LAS few years ago when they had the GP38-3 4007 (former CN GP40-2WL) as the power.
Always good to see warm home rail.😊

Great video! Is there a dedicated crew just working the mill?
Great video!
Awesome video Bishop! Thanks for sharing.
Nice.
Nicely done thank you for sharing
Didn't the KCS once serve the Dodson mill? Seems I remember some of the old grey GPs running through years ago

Thanks for the video
Some of that track looks like it could use a little TLC. Your sound equipment is great...I was clearly able to audibly ID a white-eyed vireo 🙂

CPKC should be the only thing you film…. They are the most important railway…
I wonder if they will start running jobs to Pineville again with a biofuel plant suppose to open where the old paper mill was in 2028

@@killersopinion1829 oh yeah that makes sense, since the product is going down to the coast.
Cool dude I’ve been filming them trains been sitting in Simsboro had good luck so far maybe I’ll see you out by the rails one day
Has that type of situation with the CPKC at Gibsland ever occur much prior to the CP KCS merger?

And now we know!
@@caryconley536 Hello brother! I hope you are well.
@@killersopinion1829doing well indeed sir!
Thank you for sharing. Ive said before but will say again it’s a shame they don’t run down through pineville anymore.
So now WATCO crosses in Gibson?
@@terryboldenjr.3555 They don't use the L&NW mainline like the NL&G used to do.
@@killersopinion1829 Gotcha
Who do some video of the Birmingham terminal railway
That GP35 Is Now A GP38
A general comment - drone shots.
