- We are on the Monongahela Railway at Fredericktown PA. as we watch a loaded north bound coal train pass. The DE trains have mid train helpers that are radio controlled But in this clip, there is a crew in the cab of 009. The train is loaded at two different mines on the MGA to blend the coal. Detroit Edison no longer owns their own locomotives.
Thanks for watching. Jackmp294.5™

Thanks, that is the way I remember it. P&LERR 74-84
I remember DE trains running through Russell Kentucky coming from the Coal River sub in West Virginia and heading to Michigan.
cool video and coal train i got a DVD about edison coal trains i wonder how many cars were on that train
@BudmanPackfan Not sure! You would think the maintance, and FRA inspections would be tuff on them alone. They did finally do away with road units. I think they still have a few units they use to work the plant. CE (Cleveland Elctric) had their own locomotives as well. All GP38's I believe... Thanks for watching...
I agree about the Dash-8 standard cabs. Great looking engines!
@gonetoworkbbackin5mi Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. I try to put up at least one a day!
Wow..just wow.
Wow- those coal gondolas are now used in trash service out of New Haven, CT. I saw some today! Great video.
I can remember those Detroit Edison units running through Elizabeth Pa on the P&LE. They came right down the street.
I believe they used Rotary Dumpers for unloading these cars. Does anyone have information on that?
Jack, was the thinking by DE at the time to own their own locomotives a way to keep costs of transport down?
Nice engines!
A shame that DE doesn't have their own engines anymore. The video was very enjoyable and the Conrails were a nice little bonus.
