- Big Ethanol Train In Thurmond, West Virginia On CSX. This Train Is Led By Union Pacific & Kansas City Southern Locomotives. RJ Corman Railroad Takes A Coal Train Back Up The Hill With 3 Locomotives After A Recent Train Derailment. Tunnel Motor Locomotives Are On This Train. We Also See A Huge Coal Train In Thurmond, West Virginia. The steam locomotive coaling tower is shown close up with some interesting information. This is Part 2 for my Thurmond, West Virginia trip.
The video starts with a little information about the town and then a long coal train passing westbound on the CSX New River Line. Part 1 of this video featured Amtrak making a stop and a couple of freight trains passing by. I rode here with Scott, 1960gambit.
Next, we walk across the bridge to watch RJ Corman doing some railroad switching. They recently had a derailment and were taking the last 6 cars involved in the accident back up the hill toward Pax. It is a long steep climb back up and they had 2 locomotives on the front and one on the rear. The tunnel motor units are on their last days since they will be replaced soon with newer locomotives. We got a ride about a mile up the hill by a Railfan. Alex gave us a ride to an interesting railroad crossing where we filmed the train. After that he gave us a ride back down to Thurmond so we could catch some more trains. I want to thank Alex for the ride. Without his help we could not have filmed the RJ Corman train going up the hill.
After that we take a close look at the old steam locomotive coaling tower. This was built by Fairbanks Morse in 1922. We were waiting for a train being led by a Kansas City Southern locomotive. That train finally showed up and had a Union Pacific locomotive and Kansas City Southern locomotive pulling a big ethanol train eastbound. This train also had a Union Pacific locomotive on the rear as a DPU. That was one heck of a train! Listen in on 160.230 for CSX and 160.845 for RJ Corman. EOT is 452.9375 with front EOT on 457.9375.
Finally, we see Chessie, Loki and the slide show. I didn't post this video right away because I made a rookie mistake. I used my back up camera on this one and had it on a wrong setting. I'm not very happy with the way it came out although it is still a great video. I know the mistake is obvious but what do you think about this video? Please leave your comments below.
Filmed May 31, 2023 in 4K with 60fps. Thanks for watching!

Part 1 For This Video Is Right Here ruclips.net/video/7ksEmLCm_Lw/видео.html
Morning. I’ve been Trainspotting for the last few years in North and South Carolina. When I do find a train to record it’s by luck. I know most of the transpotters out there have a scanner. I’ve been looking at scanners and need advice on which one to buy. any help would be appreciated. Thank you, John
Salutări🙋🙋🙋
God bless everyone ❤️🙏 good morning 🌞🌄
My father, who is 90 years old, remembers Thurmond when it was still an active community. He was raised in Raliegh, Greenbrier and Fayette countries.
Awesome place to live, especially back in the day
That’s really cool, I bet your dad has some great stories about life. I enjoy history and have always enjoyed speaking with folks who’ve lived it.
to bad there is not more people living there
You should have your dad record his stories on tape or write them down so they will not be lost when he goes to that great railroad in the sky. There has been too much knowledge first-hand that has been lost because nobody wrote down or recorded what they said and saw in the old days. It is a shame so much history has been lost.
That was a whopping load of coal! I loved hearing the power working as it went by, and I'm really shocked it didn't have a DPU on a 201 car train. Great catch JT! 😊😊😊
That’s what I counted too!❤️
They're empty
Westbounds are empty.... heading back to the loadouts. CSX has their coal terminal in Newport News VA.
Think about the mountain of coal mined to fill just this one train.
Alex saved the day for us. We would have never got that shot at the crossing without him taking us up the hill! Us old guys don`t do long hills! Lol🤣🤣🤣
Great to see tunnel motors working in the mountains again!
love the sound of that SD40 T -2 !!
RJ Corman SD 40-2 Tunnel motors. Looks like old SP locomotives judging by the long snoot. Great catch.
thanks! I am told they will be getting rid of them soon
@@JawTooth Well that's a bummer. It's always cool to see those old soldiers still running the rails.
@@JawTooth That would be a real shame. Have you heard if the mine at risk of closing?
@@robertf3479 I am told that the mine at Pax is safe. They have a new seam of coal to open up also
It's good to see the SD40T-2s working. Good locomotives for this kind of work.
Absolutely great video JT. Thurmond is my favorite location.
Same here!
Òne can only imagine now, how a C&O H8 Allegheny must have sounded, pulling a 160 car coal train through Thurmond! Wish CSX would rebuild one of the 2 remaining 2-6-6-6's!
I miss seeing the old C&O signals. They recently removed old NYC tri-light signals from a control point in Bellefountaine.
Excellent content, JT, and glad you used your hi-def camera because I can pause the vid and see clearly to check the load limit, and light weight specs on particular cars. The crazy-long coal drag were all empties .. I could tell by looking at spring compression. The RJ Corman switching action, and the SD's working the grade, I loved it! I love the sound, and look, of SD40's .. my favorite locomotive. And me being an electrician, I'm really glad you showed the spec plate on the Fairbanks/Morse coal elevator motor. I was really surprised it was still that legible. Excellent day railfanning .. thanks for bringing this to us.
Very good observations and one of the reasons why this channel is among the best on U tube... it's the closest thing to being there!
Awesome video thanks for sharing 😊
We have been here with you so many times but this trip was just awesome. The tour of the coaling tower was great. 👍👍
Magnificent catches of the trains coming by and pass, I like it 5 stars, keep up the great work, Brian, Greetings from Portugal to the USA.
Eu tambem gosto de ver os videos dele.
@@PennyPereira-ro5wp estou subscrito no teu canal.
@@PennyPereira-ro5wp eu tenho uns bons videos que vais adorar.
Já fiz a conecção(espero que esteja bem escrito)
@Upbigboy4005🚂 hey, how are you doing
Great video JT. Love that Thurmond live action. Such a beautiful railfanning spot.
Good trains with RJ Corman bonus footage. Very informative. Well done Brian
Many thanks!
Always love it when you shoot trains in that location. The sound echoing off the hills is the best! Thank You Jawtooth.
Dang what a powerful horn on that RJ Corman loco!
Excellent catch on that RJ Corman train. I didn't know that anybody was still using tunnel motors. Very very cool to see them still putting in work.
Awesome video great train action, thanks again JT. 🙏👍👌
Thank you very much!
This coal train was a monster. With Locomotives included the count was 210 cars
Thanks 👍 for the coal tower your and info. Another great video. 😊😊
Our pleasure!
Your hitting homers sir .....excellent job and want to move to Thurman
A great film today. Weather was cooperative and warm. See you on the next, Brian. 🙂👍🇺🇸
Thanks 👍
Thurmond.......... man, what a peaceful place to live out retirement years. Maybe a little too peaceful (and remote)? Either way, very picturesque place. Thanks for the video.
I believe the coal was raised to the hoppers above by a bucket conveyor system.
Correct, Lynwood, it was a bucket conveyor system .. also referred to as an elevator. And as you may know, that type of system is still used in many applications today.
@@kennethfuller8347 I know, I have designed several over the years, mostly to move abrasives. We sometimes used pneumatics, sometimes screw type and bucket elevators.
R. J. Corman is in everything
Not just repairing track
Yes, they run several railroads.
@@beeble2003 👌👌👍👍👍
this is my first time ever seeing them in wv i seen them up in pa often but that’s it this is a good catch
I like the fact that the coal LinkStation is still there. A subtle reminder of the great age of steam locomotives .
Merci beaucoup pour cette très belle vidéo et très bon dimanche ! 🌟🌟
Thanks for watchibg!
@@JawTooth 🙏🙏🙏🙏
That's a nice, scenic crossing at 10:38.
Your dogs are awesome 😊
Good Morning everyone. Hope y'all are having a great weekend. Stay Safe..
First train was really long. Those corman trains aren’t well known. Awesome video
Hey Brian.. if you and Scott both have the Baofeng transceivers, you can legally chat on any of the 5 MURS frequencies.. without you both needing any licenses...
Search MURS freqs for info... 😎
Thurmond is just plain awesome. Thanks man, liked it much!
I am pleased that West Virginia has RJ Corman Railroad right in that state. Your show shots are incredible. Pleasant June to you, Jaw Tooth! "You don't bark and you don't bite!" 🙂
Thurmond is a beautiful location.
Those were excellent catches.
Thanks Jawtooth.
Like that coal warf/tipple, nice lash up on Ethanol train with loud DPU, New River was up!🛤🚂
Gotta love that echo from the horns!
all three resients must work for the town! that place is pretty clean.
Downhill on Dynamics. Large percentage of flat spot wheels. Nice video, thanks Jaw Tooth
Thurmond is an awesome old town and catching that KCS unit there - wow 🤩
Great video of coal train in 4k
That was the loudest DPU that I ever heard from the train that was awesome LIVE ACTION WOO JT
¡Santa vacia! Holy empty! ( vaca = cow, here we're commenting on only 3 human residents to the town, pueblo, which is vacía, empty, or shortened to MT). Gracias por tu video, Señor Jaws. RT sends, Puebla, México...
RJ Corman power sounds great too. 😊😊
Great video JT. Thanks again for sharing your videos. God bless
I live in S.E. Texas near Port Arthur, Tex. It was the Southern terminus of Kansas City Southern. Since the CP merger I've seen their power everywhere. BTW KCS locomotives are called Belles. You know, like Southern Belles.
Nice Video
Coaling Tower probably had a Bucket Elevator to lift the Coal to the Top of the Tower. Nice it's still standing too!
JT, another great train video! thank you for all the time you take to do these.
Thank you very much!
Thurmond seems a very pretty area JT, lots of trees and a cool town. Another great video, thanks!!
I loved that tanker train JT!!
Great place to video great video thanks Jaw tooth
Really cool to see that coal tower!
Those locomotives had some torq !
2 in front & 1 in back was cool going up that hill ..
Thoes cars where full & super heavy ..☺ ..
I like to hear the locomotives ☝ ( especially idling up to take off)
Right on
I really like those RJ Corman engines.
Excellent Video
🎉🍄🇮🇳🍄🎉
Thanks a lot!
Loved the locomotives and surrounding information. You're good. Long trains. Love the DPU I see you. ❤ Loki was just a puppy here. Sweet animals. Live action. Thanks Mr JT.❤😊
Awesome vidro JT, some really special locos to see that day. I love the ghost town of Thurmond its really pretty & so much to see. Beautiful West Virginia. Ah look at little Loki! He is adorable playing with Chessie. God he is cute! ❤😊👍🐕🐶
Thank you very much!
Crushing it with another spectacular video from Thurmond !!!
Wow 😲. R J Corman was interesting .😊 I'm enjoying this video. Cool looking locomotives.I believe Loki is enjoying the play with Chessie. We really enjoyed all the info on this video. On Virginia. Thanks
❤😊
Awesome two coal trains and tanker train JT!!!
Good Morning JawTooth 👍🚂🚃
Great video 👍👍👍🌅🌄
Awesome location Jawtooth! One of my favorite that you visit! I'm going to have to check that place out for myself in person sometime!👍
Looks like the puppy was having fun
Great capture of the motor nameplate in the coaling tower.
Thank you very much!
Thanks JT. Another good one.
Great video JT! I love that location!
Awww! Beautiful puppy ❤
That is some Coaling Tower. Very different to most of the Coaling Stages in the UK here, but the Power-Stations used to operate a similar unloading method...a constant-screw type lifter(?) Nice catch with the 'Kansas City' and RJ Cormans folks there too. I'll catch part 1 directly. Keep Safe, Jaw Tooth. All the best. Cheers!
Woah ! Thats cool 😀
Make sure you get a good breath of that fresh air "Jaw Tooth"
Thats cool taking us for a ride in back of the pick-up trk 👍
I have seen this one before, but I enjoyed it again. Can’t believe how small 25:39 Loki was ! ❤
Amazing that the buildings are still standing with the pounding.
My girlfriend and her family lived in Thurmond, great memories of her Dad Boomer Kaylor who was a Coal Mines, my Daddy also worked in the Mimes!
Love this location thanks for the effort as always, had a beautiful day as well.
Our pleasure!
We have alot of Union Pacific at Jack London square in Oakland California ..
Rare but I have seen N S locomotive once over here paired up with Union Pacific ; thought to take a double look as the Northfolk Southern headed to the port of Oakland .
Delightful to see a unit train of tankcars mostly untagged by the vandals. UNTAGGED... Lotta flat spots on wheels of that first train. Maybe braking on all those hills???? Good vid.
Great video and awesome catches
SMOL DOGE 😍😍😍
I liked that old town & the coal train.
Amazing videos Jaw tooth keep up the good work
Nice locomotives and some history. Cool. ❤
Nice to see couple ex southern pacific sd40t-2
Great catch
The rj Corman railroad company,it's unknown for me...
😱😱😱😱🇱🇷🚂💞💕😍😘♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Thank you for posting this second part of your trip to Thurmond, West Virigina on 31 May 2023, Jaw Tooth! The empty westbound coal train was nice to see going through coal country. The R. J. Corman train switching the loaded coal cars together and then taking them back to Pax was interesting to watch. I presume they will be adding these cars to a future loaded coal train to come back to Thurmond. I enjoyed the tour of the old coaling station at Thurmond, West Virginia. The eastbound ethanol train with the Union Pacific and CPKC power was nice to view. If the population of Thurmond is only three people, why is there an open Post Office in Thurmond? Is there another instance of buttering up a politician to seek favors?
Interesting video! Great captures and nice places! Good work! Thumbs Up
All the best from Dublin
Andrew
