Excellent video from a long gone era in railroading. All kinds of awesome motive power including CP Alco/MLW units and several nice freight cars in here with many boxcars. The freight with the CP cabooses was also a welcome suprise. Good footage. 😁👍
Great lashup in the first 15 seconds! Really miss the days where anything and everything could show up. Now I geek out seeing a GP38 or SD40 on a road train.
Reminds me off growing up in late 80s, early 90s in southern ontario, never knew what you would be seeing next along the caso sub! Miss all the colourful consists, and sweet whistles as well.....
Wow - what a great mix-up of power, and LOVE the consists - SOO!! Sad to see those old cabooses (cabeese?) knowing they were headed to the graveyard.... Great video 5 stars!!
WOW!! Big Alco/MLW and CAST containers!! Being up here just outside Mtl. that sure brings back memories!! A CP container train wasn't complete without a CAST cut in there somewhere! Miss watching those MLWs dig in up the hill from the port of MTL on the transfer runs! Love the early CSX stuff also, as that's what I currently model in N-scale!! Thanks for posting!
That B23-7 at 06:50 was on the Tennessee Southern Railroad in 2007 when i worked there, I ran that locomotive many times, thanks for sharing. Its now stored out of service with all the other B23-7's, replaced by GP10's. those B23's may be off the property now and scrapped, don't know for sure.
mygirl22ward: I think you are right, they were digging a basement there on Elliot for a new house. I think that lot was part of the C&O suburban passenger stop before they moved to the other side of Kalamazoo. Great stuff, thanks for posting.
alexander1485 I could be wrong, but I believe in the early 90's when this was filmed is when the death of the caboose took place. They were probably being taken to scrap somewhere. Heart breaking!
Yeah now you know why older people before us wore us out with stories about the "olden days" But it's TRUE especially with the railroad industry. Anyone else tired of CSXs boring,drab,lifeless paint scheme? I'm tired of seeing just CSX and NS engines. At least NS has some exotic paint schemes but we never see em here in Pennsylvania. When we lived in Chicago in the 60s,down at the yards,in a given day you'd see SF,UP,NYC,Pennsy,NP,Milw Rd,IC,GN,Rock Island,Wabash,Erie,GMO,CP,CN,B&O,C&O, that enough? As if the CSX and NS only isnt bad enough.....effing CSX doesnt even take care of its engines. Rotted,rusty old beer can locomotives that look like they went over and down into a ravine. Who in hell wants pictures of their beer can locomotives? Oh I'm old and cranky I guess,but it was better back then,you just didnt know when you heard the whistle blow what was coming down the track.

Nice to see that Port Huron & Detroit boxcar and the Terminal Railway Alabama State Docks boxcar in this video.

Wow. So many power combos in there I thought I would never see. Love to see those unpainted L&N units!

The old beauty of the Chessie

These images are amazing...Wyoming Yard in 91 - terrific memories!
there should be some buffalo southern caboose train playlists
so many boxcars with BIG company logos and zero graffiti. what a time.
Yes agreed 👍
Great times in railroading back then 😊
Fantastic. Great time travel and exceptional camerawork.
So many things has changed sence the early 90's.. Man I miss those days.. Thanks for sharing this video with us!!
You got on video, what I only have in my memories from back then! Awesome stuff!
5*****!
@illwill929 Oh, yes they did! Cabooses fell out of favor around 1987-88, being immediately replaced by these devices back then!
Very nice of you to share this great footage.
Great trains

The track is really smooth and in good shape. My favs here are the Seaboard/Family Lines SD40-2s on that coal train and that L&N Geep.
coudn't there be more caboose train playlists
Reminds me of the Garrett Sub in the late 1980s early 1990s. :-)
Man you got some great stuff in this post. Really enjoyed it. Liked it as well. Subbed to your channel.
why do I love trains so much?

I wish Chessie was still around CSX is good but its not Chessie
Great video! Where was this filmed?

A lot of variety in motive power. Where were these taken?
Charles Kesner Along the CSX Grand Rapids Sub in Western Michigan.
Is that Hyndman, PA in the first clip?
NO.
