This is awesome!
Awesome video . yard watching rules ...
Thanks, you're absolutely right!
CSX’s Tilford Yard is no longer in service. The yard is completely empty but the mainlines are still used
Yeah, it's very sad. Tilford produced a good bit of rail action here in the area.
Thanks for this video I like watching the work going on in big yards like this. I'm listening to you video with Bose quiet comfort Bluetooth head set the engines sound great and I can hear your scanner much clearer. I appreciate your work.
That's awesome! Must sound great.
Joe Leveille uhhh
Joe Leveille hftyy
Tilford yard is no more ripped out to make room for fancy condos
Sad, but true.
They did the same to CSX & NS Potomac yards here in Alexandria Virginia by in 1995 & 1996, & they added a shopping center as well.
Yes I like trains.
CSX Tilford Yard is scraped and is gone, the only remain is the signal.
This video is after the power switches were installed. It used to be all hand throw at Inman except the class yard.. On the south end its controlled by the main tower once controlled by the old retarter tower which I worked at times before they shut it down around 2010 or 2009
Very cool! Yes, the video is from 2016.
at 26:00 you can see to the left in the background the interstate heritage unit
mbmars01 your the best! im a train fan too but these trains are cool amazing awesome the cargo and pasanger trains are my fav train fans copy & paste
Thank you. It seems you enjoyed watching this video :)
....as I watch these vids about trains it gives me pause to have much more respect for the railroads and their personnel...GOD BLESS THEM ALL they are part of the fabric that has and still is making AMERICA great (in spite of what the Donald says)
I absolutely second what you said!
Donald trump or Donald Duck ... I mean I guess there’s no difference between the two
Orion TheGamingRaptor Donald Duck is not your President.
The defect detector announced milepost #8. I assume milepost ZERO is the one in downtown Atlanta.....near Underground....where the city actually began. The Vance AL to Brunswick GA autorack train (at 'Bridge') must have been hauling Mercedes Benz's since the MB assembly plant is at Vance, and Brunswick is MB's main US port. Once upon a time automobiles were hauled 'in the open'.....no protective sides or tops on the rack carriers. But rock throwing trackside vandals soon made protective covering on these carriers mandatory. I've watched your video several times and always see (or hear) something I missed before. Great editing. Be safe out there.....Perry Blvd , Hollywood Rd., etc. aren't exactly known to be warm and fuzzy neighborhoods.
Nice that you discover new things the more often you watch it. I typically also see details only when I edit the videos, but not necessarily while recording the material. I know the area isn't great but I rarely go there. It's not close to where I live anyway.
Greg H I know this is a rather old comment but my dad worked as a quality control manager for a company that supplied parts for the big 3 auto makers, he made several trips to Detroit to the ford plant, Kansas City, Janesville, WI to name just a few and I remember him telling me when I was a kid in the mid-eighties about how they were going to have to cover all the rail cars because of the damage to the cars. Sorry, you gave me flashbacks to my childhood... thanks!
Five star all the way here...
Excellent presentation my friend!
Thanks ! I'm very happy that you like it!
Yeah, it's just sad! I spent the first 12 years of my railroad career in that yard.
Wow, awesome. I wished I had had the chance to see it from the inside once. Now it's too late... :'(
It used to be fun there! I just uploaded a video to my channel of what it looks like now. They have leveled the hump and have started ripping out the receiving yard tracks. The silence is deafening!!
Hi from the UK..Just Found out What a Slug is Used for..Excellent Video too Stay Safe'
Thanks, you also!
This is one of the most awesome videos I've seen. How do you access these places? Did you work for the railroad? Have you been to the yard in Irondale, Al.? Love the video's , thanks for sharing
I'm very happy you enjoyed watching the video! I'm not working for a railroad and all that's in the video was filmed from public spaces (there are bridges over both yards, which is cool). I have filmed at Irondale; the videos are in the "Railroad Town Birmingham" playlist on my channel main page in the "Great Railfanning Spots" section.
*video starts* then, *Thomas and Friends: "Shunting Theme" plays throughout the entire video*
One day I’m gonna go there!
I think Tilford is closed now unfortunately.
Shoot!....well there’s always next time.....
I like the walkitalki part of the video.
Cool.
You should do a video of the walkitalki system
@26:00 you can see NS 8105
Enjoyed this one dated 2 Sep 2016 (my dad's bday a 100 years ago in 1916). Tilford and Inman were busy that Friday . I must have heard a train pass every 30 minutes by Fontaine Road/Cooper Lake Road and Nickajack Road. Then quiet on the Labor Day weekend.
+Charles Ralston Cool! Yeah, it was a busy day, but not much more than usual. There are typically 60 trains per day going in and out. Labor Day saw reduced scheduled NS service because of the holiday.
Cool video! I worked at tilford for many years.....until I gained enough senority to get out. lol
Awesome! And now you're retired or engineer or both? Just kidding... ;-)
AWSOME VIDEO. MAN. GOTTA LOVE NORFLORK SOUTHERN IMMAN YARD AND CSX TILFORD YARD. JUST WENT THROUGH THEIR THIS PAST SATURDAY TRAIN SATURDAY. LIKED.
Nice! It's quite an experience. I just wish they would have any opportunities for the public to watch yard jobs.
14:22 that lead KCS locomotive is the exact same model version of my KCS locomotive No. #4774 that I use to have until I trade it in for a Norfolk Southern locomotive
Well, I probably would have kept the KCS model :)
I want this video to be Keeper on my phone also I don't want to lose this video at all I want this keeper on my phone allways
That's nice
Sharp looking units the Tier 4's units (CSX)
i guess it is kinda off topic but does anybody know a good site to stream new tv shows online?
@Terrance Avery Try FlixZone. Just google for it :)
Awesome Video keep up with a great work and be safe out there.
Thanks for watching!
I actually got to visit Norfolk Southerns Inman yard in Atlanta Georgia and locust Grove Georgia
Awesome!
@@mbmars01 I know right
Amazing rail movie! Beautiful iamges with trains! Thumbs Up
All the best from Romania
Andrew
Very cool! Thanks so much, Andrew. And all the best to Romania in this difficult time!
@@mbmars01 Thank you! ;-) Respects!
At 21:09 that was a great shot of the maintenance shop & repair shop
Cool, thank you :)
@@mbmars01 every once in awhile I go to virtual @railfans they show live feed of different rail yards & some main lines & some train stations and depots
Loved it!!! Looking forward to when you come to NW Ga. Downtown Cartersville is great because you can almost touch the trains when they come through
Thanks so much! Actually, I have filmed in Cartersville before, the last time when 911 and 1776 came through two years ago. A few weeks ago, I was on the NS Atlanta North End District. This material still needs to be processed, though.
11:19 that RF&P hopper is badass!
I'm amazed at how clean all the NS motive units are. BTW, does anyone know why ostensible competitors would share motive units? Why would BNSF want NS to use one of their units in a consist?
It makes it easier for trains to interchange with other railroads, they don't have the hassle of switching engines. Also it makes sense for railroads like BNSF and NS, (this applies to other railroads too, its just an example)
because while they are both railroads, they aren't competitors; NS is East and BNSF is west. Freight still needs to move across the imaginary borders between railroads, so having efficient interchange of freight is important. Also, railroads tend not to think in the vein of "We shouldn't do this; we might be helping a competitor more than it helps us." Railroads have a lot of competition, not only from other railroads, but from trucking. They know that doing things that have little effect on themselves to harm a competitor will harm the industry, which will harm them in the long run.
In short, its all in good business to have good relationships.
Though it didn't hit Atlanta, one has to wonder what sort of effect that Florence will have on train traffic in Atlanta.
Funny tilford is not even a yard anymore😂
well done! Thank you!
Thanks, glad you like it.
INTERMODAL TRAINS are my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE
This place is basically train heaven
Enjoyed this very much. Old Atlantan here....remember when this was an L&N RR yard...named for John Tilford, an L&N president. I believe that Inman was named for Samuel Inman.....Atlanta cotton merchant and businessman....but could be wrong. Keep up the good work.
Thank you! I'm happy you liked it.
mbmars01 where is the tilford yard at
SURE IS A BIG RAIL ROAD YARD DO THEY HAVE A LOT OF TRAIN RIDERS GOING OUT OF THERE THEY MUST HAVE TRAINS GOING OUT OF THEEE. THEY MUST HAVE.
@Harold Smith Just saying about SD38-2 #2434 with a cabless unit, it was to complete it's yardwork by building a new mixed freight for pickup. Later that time, some CSX GE's would come into Tilford Yard to couple #2434 and #1066. After building their mixed freight and the crew ties down the slug set and gets off, CSX GE widecabs will enter the yard so that the SD38-2 and the slug can be dead in tow. Welp...I wonder which train that will be to haul the EMD SD38-2 and the (cabless unit) slug to somewhere? We'll see this manifest when it's done. LOL!
🍪💡🔫🍼
fantastic video! enjoyed it tremendously.looking forward to more! Love watching yards.
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. Watching yard jobs is a cool thing, I agree.
Mike Howey
mbmars01 i stay in jacksonville FL i always wanted to see a train on youtube from my home town i never knew trains go that far
Mike Howey I,lmb
how many train lines in this place
I use to go to Howell Y and watch trains run by but I have not done that in over 10 years. Good video
I haven't yet been to Howell. Maybe one day... Thanks!
I like train videos on RUclips 👍
Nice!
This video is kinda sad when you realize that now, Tilford Yard is a commercial block now.
Yeah, let's just see what's gonna happen there next.
Norfolk southern operates on the east coast..most of there cargo is coal..csx also operates
I went to my local freight yard before my surgery to see some of the trains shunting cars around and trains pulling out and when I got onto the bridge to get there I saw one train shunting cars but when we parked they where just sitting there on for ten minutes, so we left and when we where on the bridge again I saw the same train shunting again it was like they were waiting for me to leave.
Welcome to my world little brother.
I can remember Pittsburgh & Lake Erie Railroad (P&LE) looked like this . my brother and I used to play on and around the yards . what great memories . Thanks for posting . as time goes by , this Rail Yard may be gone some day as well . Ray in Pa.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and memories. However, I hope these yards won't go too quickly, though!!
Did you see the hopper car leaking (10:34) on Q675? there going to be one unsatisfied customer.
Nice camera work and editing !!! Guess this area is off limits to anyone else who would be interested it watching or taking pictures too ?
Thank you! Well, they don't really like you to be there and it's an unsafe area to begin with, but all material was filmed from public roads and bridges.
Scanner battery dying at 16:00. Heh, happens to me all the time when I record.
Haha, that's true! They died early this time, too much chatter near the yards lol.
This is a cool video! I have drone video of this rail yard on my channel, it's a huge place.
Thanks! Unfortunately, Tilford Yard isn't existing anymore.
@@mbmars01 oh ok, I was at the one on Perry Blvd in Atlanta
The ES44DC/AC and SD70M-2/ACe are my favorites.
AC4400CW Fan Is Me
At the Atlanta Area you ONLY find Csx because i have been living here my whole life
uh... no?
I love big train yards like this one cool and awsome keep up with goodvideos
Nice, thanks! I'll do!
godlook i saw the ns train at 12:03 and bnsf at 3:00 and of course the csx train at 7:09 thank you for my train fans vids=D
I have a question?is their a reason why a oil train have a boxcar in front of the tanker car and at the end of the tanker car of each train..
These are called buffer cars and their purpose is too weaken the impact of potential hazards like collisions or fire on engines, crews, and also the tank cars themselves.
mbmars01 thanks for the information.
Love to see what a big part of life trains are. Really enjoyed video. Thank You
Thank you! Unfortunately, Tilford Yard was demolished in 2018.
Cool video! I was in Austell this past Friday and Saturday filming trains. I'm gonna have to check out those two yards next time i'm up there.
Thanks! Unfortunately, Tilford isn't anymore what it was. Hump yard and shops were demolished by CSX last year.
@@mbmars01 I'm very saddened by it. All I've ever seen of Tilford was a drone view as it was being demolished.
a very good dvd, I like the quality of your video, very clear also very impressed with the size of trains
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
Tilford Yard no longer exists. Almost all tracks have been removed and it is up for sale for development.
Yes, unfortunately.
Excellent Video
👌
Many thanks, glad you like it!
25:08 - Do loaded container wells get humped? Or are they flat-switched only?
No they don't get humped their no need to switch em.
I don't understand why people keep complaining about the radio talk. I understand it fine. It's railroad talk short, fast, and to the point.
RedneckFreightTrain1 I agree with you I understand these men perfectly it's railroad talk with a southern accent nothing hard about this.
A good channel should always be only good comments I wish you all the best, my wonderful friend Our like
What is the limited speed in these yards?
mbmars01, what camera/lens setup did you use? The video is fantastic!
Nothing special! I just use the Panasonic camcorder HC-V550. Thank you, I'm glad you like it.
Great video, I almost got homesick. NS receiving yard appeared empty as usual. CSX I675-01, what happened to the Q?
Thanks! Nothing happened to the Q trains. They are still running, but in addition there are sometimes X, L, S, R, I trains with the same number. Just extras or different schedules.
What kind of engine is that behind the lead CSX engine? Just saw it's called a SLUG. What's its purpose?
It provides extra traction. It doesn't have an own engine, but it does have traction motors on its axles, controlled by the lead locomotive.
@@mbmars01 thanks for the info! I've seen them a few times just never knew what its purpose was.
great video
Thanks!
This is great!
Good you like it!
Superb video! I really enjoy watching RR yard a activity!👍👏🚂
Thanks! I could watch switching jobs endlessly...
Wow. Seriously impressive video. How do you know the details of the trains' manifests and such?
Thanks! If you mean the train symbols, these are called by the crews when passing by signals or mentioned in the communication with the dispatcher. One can listen to railroad radio using a scanner.
That KCS es44dc sounded pretty good as it was moving alone
W0w just like this project it s amazing how 👨 kind works this heavy mechine
at 25:05, was that the interstate heritage unit? great video!
Yes, it probably was, but I saw it unfortunately only at home on the screen. Thanks!
I really wish to work here what are my requirements
They bulldozed the yard
Wow very nice the yards seem huge the Atlanta Skyline is beautiful I have been there before nice city excellent video
Unfortunately, Atlanta has a huge car traffic problem. That's why I don't go there more often. But it's a nice city and area. I'm happy you like the video, many thanks ;)
15:54 love that ge sound omg
Ikr.
sweet catches. awesome video. very cool. CSX, NS, KCS locomotive's nice. GE's and EMD's loco's sweet. sweet SD40-2's yard loco's nice.
the second KCS unit look like a SD80MAC. cool horn. BNSF and UP loco's to sweet.
The trailing unit on K443 was an EMD SD70ACe, delivered to KCS in spring 2014. So it's rather new.
mbmars01 ah ok thank's. cool
Another exceptional video. 👍👍👍👍
Awesome, thank you!
Do you have ROBLOX?
Nope.
Not to be a naysayer but Tilford is one of the smaller yards on the CSX system.
VERY NICE, EXCELLENT EDITING AND CHATTER.
Thank you!!
Excellent work, with compliments!
Many thanks! I'm happy you enjoy the videos!
:-)
You can see the Interstate heritage unit behind the other locomotives at 25:58. Just pointing it out in-case some missed it. Very nice videos and love all the trains you capture. Keep up the amazing work!
Yeah, unfortunately I saw that only on my screen when I was back home. From the large distance I couldn't see it at Inman. If I would have known it while I was there, I had waited for NS 154 to move out. Thank you! Will do!
Man that really sucks. It'll come through again someday. You're welcome!
Ian Bowling It would have been nice to see it closer but it was trailing anyway. I'm happy to see a heritage unit, but I'm not really hunting them.
Yeah, I don't understand while they have it trailing because they usually don't unless they have no choice. I have only seen two heritage units. 1 was the Interstate and the other was the Nickel Plate Road when NS did the NKP excursion. I recorded on my channel.
I don't think they care much about if it's leading or trailing. I have seen several of those units trailing. Nice, I also saw the Nickel Plate some months ago.

American so great an beautiful God all ways in our world
Wow what a beautiful sitting American
To bad that these yards don't have towers like the "Golden Spike" for the general public to view the action for our own eye's. Nice video but to be honest I want to take my own video/photos but standing on an overpass in Atlanta Ga is not my idea of fun.
+photo2c Well, there's no public access to Inman and Tilford. I take it as it comes. Trespassing is not an option. Most yards are hidden from the public, which is very unfortunate as the railroads could generally contribute to the education of people, in particular children, by showing them how exciting railroads are and how trains are 'made'.
I agree. But CSX has never been one to care to much about railfans. I live in Jacksonville Florida the headquarters of CSX and there is no Railroad Museum at all.
Yep, it's not nice. NS's activities, for example their heritage program, are generally more appreciated by people here in the south. It's a pity, I think CSX has much to offer as well, with those many branches it was made of. A museum would be very interesting, of course.
@25:25 the train is going over the hump....been there done that
Wooden sleepers and not a single electrified line feels a bit old school to me as an European. C'mon America, time to modernise.
These rails are owned by private companies, and electrifying the lines is an unneeded expense for them. it would also reduce the amount of freight they could carry. No one in the government is interested in forcing them to modernize, either. I'd like to see more passenger rail, too, but it might have to be separate from what's seen here.
can anybody tell me what kind of engine is that 1024 at 27:30?
The 1024 is an EMD SD70ACe - the latest (and last) of the EMD SD70-type of diesel locomotive. It is one of the most common six-axle EMD's on the rails today - BNSF, CN, CP, KCS, NS, UP, and Ferromex all have them on their rosters. Alaska Railroad never bought any, and CSX had 20, but they were sold in 2018.
Great Video, Bridge is my main spot to catch trains also Austell,I was at Inman yesterday getting some pictures and video,once again great video.
+Dexter Greene Thanks! Yep, I think you mentioned some time ago that Bridge is your favorite spot. The day I filmed for this video was my first visit there.
+mbmars01 excellent,what do you think about bridge,yes it's one of my favorite spots.
+mbmars01 Your very Welcome
Dexter Greene
Bridge has a lot of rail traffic and is quiet otherwise. I definitely like this spot.
+mbmars01 Yes you are right,it's quiet when it's not busy,most of the time when I'm waiting for Trains I like the solitude I can do alot of thinking,it's my fortress of solitude like in the super man movie lol.
@mbmars01 In the video at 2:11,is that a small booster engine and how does it operate?
It’s called a slug. It doesn’t have an own diesel engine, but the axles are powered by electric traction motors. In stop-and-go yard work, tractive effort is more important than horsepower, so the more axles are driven the more efficiently yard jobs can be done.
explain to me why we see the CSX and Norfolk Southern engines hooked up together?I have seen this with other railroads.And is KCS a new railroad company?
2:04 what is that attached to the train?
Im not from America so I would appreciate if someone could explain to me what that thing is at 2:10 on position 2 of the train. Thanks;)
I guess you mean the slug. It’s controlled by the locomotive and provides extra traction as is particularly needed for moving large train sections in yards. The slug doesn’t have an own engine, tho. It’s cheaper to use a slug than a second locomotive.
@7:47 what is that small box behind the locomotives
Lower half a train I think
HERE THERE IS A LOT OF CINTAINERS ON THE GOUND WHEN THEY DESIRE TO LOAD THOSE COMTAINERS THEY HAVE A THING LIKE A FORK LIFTT WILL GRAB ONTO THEM CONTAINER AND LOAD IT, IT DOES NEED AN OPERATOR THOUG IT CAN'T OPERATE BY IT'S SELF.
Harold Smith geez take off the caps lock
Is that a new paint scheme for the Northfolk engines? Some please tell me!
Do you mean the green-black eco engines? I don't think this will be a new paint scheme. It's just for these "eco-friendly" and thus "green" yard engines.
Ah ok
That is one cool video you put out and may work my way into visit next year!!
Thank you! Georgia is certainly worth a visit :)
