No actual carfloat. Just a dock to place cars on. This one was moved a few years ago from Eaton. There is a second dock on three Mile Island that is now just an industry. czcams.com/video/7alQz2VpCO4/video.html

@@steamlogger That would make for an interesting operation though.

Thanks for watching

The Pennsy is a Godshal H10. They are great engines. Thanks for watching

Big boy toys.

Amen!!!

Just don't get caught drinking and running trains.

It is a great time.

Yes it is.

I am not sure. I bought it painted this way.

Yes I converted this loco to 24 volt electric drive. Here is a video showing Gradar 75 before conversion. czcams.com/video/ZwBL_1tGfwQ/video.html

@@steamlogger Fantastic, thank you! Do you have any under the hood pictures after conversion? I love the idea as I use a battery zero steer mower on my yard and now drive a Polestar 2 electric car. Thank you again.

@@steamlogger Fantastic! Very interesting set-up. Thank you for sharing.

I am not sure. They might have to wait for CSX to spot cats. The extra cars would allow for unentrupted raw materials

The UFO recovery is a government project and has stalled over which department is responsible for cleanup.

It is always fun. The more crews running the better it is. "Do we help them ot make them wait" LOL

I will upload more soon. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching

I was saw the signal at the east end was lined for the siding and decided the old New Holland crossing location would be a good spot. Thanks for watching.

I have some coming soon

The whole railroad is run by restricted speed. Apple Tree Junction you slow down and make sure no other trains are coming. The maple sapling are getting big, making it more difficult to see cross traffic.

Yes it was. I crewed with him one day.

@@steamlogger he’s like a brother to me!

S Thanks for watching. Check out some of my other videos from the White Creek Railroad

There was much more diversity in motive power back then. 😀

@@steamlogger indeed i agree. The 90s and early 2000s was best time. I grew up on bn frisco and up mp atsf and miss them.

Hidden Valley, Lackawanna 968 track 5. 😃

It was P370 to Grand Rapids in the evening. Thanks for watching

Yes. I have seen a few of those over the years

@@steamlogger yuck!

Something has to move, and it isn't the turtle

That is true. Experience nature the easy way.

Oops

It is a lot of fun to run here.

And so many roadnames that are no longer around.

I have many shorter clips on my channel. Watch for a new video soon running from Apple Tree Junction to Lake City in June

Thanks for watching

I am happy to share with you. It is fun to go for a relaxing ride.

It is a fun little car.

Thanks for the information. I didn't know they had so many mines.

@@steamlogger Peabody mines #2 & 6 were on opposite ends of Springfield Illinois, #2 was on the far north side, on Walnut Street, while #6 was on the south side, just off Ash Street by the Wabash railroad, my mom was bookkeeper at #6 for a few years. #5 was at Sherman Illinois, and was involved in a few uprisings during the "mine wars" against John L. Lewis, and my late wifes step-grandfather took a point-blank flare from a guardsman in his abdomen. He also was instrumental in getting laws passed to help hundreds of miners affected by "black lung disease", the Smithsonian came to his house to record all the history of his efforts. (Yes, he survived that point-blank flare!) Peabody mine # 10 was located between Pawnee and Kincaid Illinois, and was the last of the Peabody mines to shut down, all its coal was destined for the Chicago area power plants under Commonwealth Edison ownership. Sooooo, how did they get that coal from Kincaid/Pawnee to Chicago? None other than the Chicago and Illinois Midland railway, and, you guessed it!, also owned by Commonwealth Edison. But there was a catch, the C&IM only ran from mine #10 to Peoria Illinois, but, there was an area at Havana that was just perfect for a transloading facility, so the coal went by rail for its first 50 miles, then by river barges the rest of the way. My dad pulled some strings during the summer of 1960, we had a summer house just about a mile north of the coal docks, so, one fine saturday, he rounded up me and my sis, and off we went for a tour of the facility. After we toured the transloading area, my dad snuck off, and left me & sis to ride with the C&IM SW1200 #23 crew for a good 2 hours, how many 9 year old kids get to do that now🤔❓ Better find a couple of high side 40 foot gons to spot at the Peabody mine in Michigan, and have them painted for C&IM.

Spring time is my favorite season. Always something new to see.

They are not prototypical as there is only one signal at each passing siding.

They were quite rough. Money was tight in the 80s. As long as it ran they were used.

It helps to have a pre trip work review.

I have much more to upload from this trip. Thanks for watching

Wave to the internet.

And look like I’m having fun, I would never.

Thanks. There is much more to come.

There was much more variety back then. Now most trains have two six axle locomotives.

@@steamlogger exactly! Nowadays, it’s the same ugly looking modern day motors all the time! I’m just not a fan of the newer six axle motors! frankly, I’m an early generation diesel guy when it comes to diesel! But if I had a choice, it would all be steam!
