    'Spirit of Dante' was cool. Dante, VA is a great railroad town on the CSX former Clinchfield Railroad deep in the heart of coal country. Many photos of the iconic Union Baptist Church show heavy coal trains passing right in front of the entrance to the church. Dante featured a marshalling yard for coal trains deep in the Southern Appalachians.

    I am glad to see Spirit of Dante on here! I saw it leading on that same I141 when it went through Newnan GA that day, and I told the Cordele camera operator to get ready for it. Possibly the last active YN2 spirit unit, given YN2b AC6000 601 (Spirit of Waycross) and several dash-8s are in storage.

    I had to look up the Spirit of Dante, and when I did I found a great article about it in Smithsonian and learned a lot. Thanks for catching it for us! It was also nice to see Fort Madison again; I've missed it. And the night footage in Hesperia was cool!

    That shot at Fairport, NY of the truck that just missed getting hit by the Amtrak train was interesting. The train was trying to stop but if that truck had not moved I think we would have seen the Amtrak engine hit the truck. Always make sure you can clear all tracks before you enter a crossing.

  • @TheMidgardViking
    @TheMidgardViking Před 2 měsíci +4

    I'm guessing the coal train in Chehalis, WA at 11:36 is approximately 2.5 miles long. It takes about 6 minutes for the train to pass by and guessing that it is traveling at about 25 mph, that puts it around 13,200 feet long. Wow!

    • @sanddabz5635
      @sanddabz5635 Před 2 měsíci +2

    5:01 I figured Chattanooga would be one of their next stops, though I'm a bit surprised they didn't stop in Dalton. I shouldn't be though. I thought about stopping in Dalton coming home from Tennessee last year, but passed it up due to timing as I wanted to get to Cordele before dark.
