Happy Thursday folks! Hope your week is going well, only one more day until Friday!
Made some changes from last week.. including the track diagram at Ozone!
Have a great rest of your evening! -Sam
You know you can pin comments so they show up at the top also nice vid
Good to hear a company dedicated enough not only to stay alive and healthy in these troubling days for mines, but buying track and power after being abandoned by NS. This country needs more of this mindset. Short lines need to exist more now than ever. They keep their locos clean. They are as old as I am and look better too. :) Seeing these wood trestles was just eye candy for this train nerd. The Willet Haller tunnel shot is extraordinary. Excellent cinematography.
This comment is train nerd approved!
Lhoist is definitely a true testament of perseverance. Thanks for watching!
just another one of our American-built businesses being sold to conglomerates offshore.
Who else loves the narration? It sounds like a documentary filmed in 1982!
I appreciate your comment! Thank you for the kind words
Love these old engines, especially the high hoods. Love that this railroad run them short nose forward!
It does seem to give better visibility
This was an awesome video once again to watch. We love watching the material on your channel. Have a wonderful rest of your evening.(Steve)
Steve, thank you for those kind words! I always look for your kind words, they are greatly appreciated. Have a great rest of your day, friend!
Your very much welcome anytime. Thank you very much and you also.@@rail.tennessee
Tennessee is a beautiful state is cool seeing the highhoods
Man this is awesome and I love those Nathan P5 horns
Your picture quality is excellent, good job!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🙏
Another banger from you! One of the best videos made of this railroad!
My man! Thanks for watching brotha!
A gemstone in the rough. I would love to recreate this in HO Scale. @ 2:25-10:20 I love the weathered bridge n the winter n summer:)
Very nice video!! I love a railroad with a diverse roster, I can only hope to get down there to see them sometime!
Definitely a bucket list railroad to visit. Thanks for watching man!
I just love the sweet and leisurely pace of the train!
Thank you for a very informative and enjoyable video.
This was awesome to see! The high hood looks cool!
Wonderful video! I have a friend, Paul, who drives trains for Lhoist. It is cool getting to see the interiors of those engines
Love those high hoods❤❤❤
Lots of kuzu in that opening shot! Very nice engines. Especially nice paint scheme.
What a great video thoroughly enjoyed it immensely.
High cab EMD ✔️
Long Hood Forward Running ✔️
Gorgeous countryside ✔️
Cheers
Louis Kats from Melbourne, Australia 🇦🇺 👍 ✔️
Real good-looking Locomotives
Slick video! The drone footage is excellent and adds quite a bit of cinematography
Those underground limestone mines are crazy. They bore out tunnels and literally hollow-out the mountain with heavy equipment/blasting.
What a nice shortline to model!
Absolutely beautiful video!!!
Thank you for a very professional video, GREAt JOB. 😊 B
Awesome video! I love the drone footage.
That kudzu is doing its absolute best to grow across that track! That mess can grow up to a foot or more in a day!
The woodlands, the waterfalls, the old wooden bridges...I wish I grew up somewhere like this. 😌
Great video - I enjoyed it.
Impressive video! Great work. Interesting story. The horn is repulsive, LOL. Wish they would have refurbished those yellow warning lights on the lead engine. Would have added some serious coolness.
That is how you know you are going to have a good time when you see this loco down the tracks 🙂
Very good video! Looks like you have studied at the Danny Harmon school of train videos. I live close to where the NS runs through Lansing, TN. That line has a lot of tunnels and high bridges.
That is a HUGE compliment! I am greatly humbled you think so… thanks so much for watching!
Every thing about this video is absolutely top notch quality. Thanks for sharing 👍
Nice overview I appreciate
Outstanding greatness
Great video. Thanks for making and sharing. I subbed you.
I think I've never seen a bridge more accurately named than Piney Creek Bridge
Those locos looking fresh
they can say what they wont too but them are some of best looking high hoods i ever seen very well done on this vid
You got a great buy on your crane it is beautiful😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
great video
Great video❤
Sweet video 👍🏻
Nice video!
Those old GE'S were good pulling locomotives
Good to see the classic locos back on track
So many gems here! Love the old non-turbo EMDs and even the GE Bs. Love the sounds of the railroad...setting a minimum and dragging the loads downhill and the push-pull is great move. The EJ&E used to push-pull entire coal sets (120ish loads and empties) at West Chicago, IL. Delivering the empty set to a one track siding and shoving the loads out to the main at west end. UP power on bother sets.
Technically, the units are running "forward" on the trip back up the mountain. Southern ran them long hood forward but also equipped various units with dual control stands. Notice the horns on both ends of the GP38.
Amazing video quality. Great work!
Great video!
Awesome stuff man! Love the passion for quality, it definitely showed with this video
I worked on B23-7's about 30 yrs ago. Honestly, I never liked them much. I forget the engine model that was in them, but wow was it high maintenance! They would fail power assemblies like PEZ candy. They would burn out DB grids, and to change out brake shoes was a chore. The good thing was that they ran strong putting out 2250 HP. A GP-38 was only good for 2000 HP.
If I had that high hood engine, then I'd name it, "Mr. High Tower"
that bridge could use a good coat of paint to protect it
Alwzys happy to see the high nose units, however, they could change those whitsles.😊
Curious why the railroad doesn't keep it's parts locomotive / locomotives under a roof or something to protect what they can instead of just leaving everything out in the elements.
If I ever do go back to Tennessee, I'm definitely gonna find myself around here. May bring a Super 8 or Super 16 camera along since it seems like the perfect opportunity.
I've worked on that x Rio Grande locomotive back when I started with the Grande
Tennesee is where all the rich vampires live, it is a very pretty place
The swing up part is part of a attachable jib boom there should be a picture of it on your load chart that should be in the manual and on your load chart🤩🤩🤩 plate on the crane or in the cab of the crane
The vacant lines turn into eco corridors and trails, Or they have pedal apparatus if the rails are still in place, so you can get a workout too
I have driven by there many times. I remember seeing an old center cab diesel switcher. But I don't know if it is still on the fleet roster.
It is! I meant to add footage of that into the video… I’ll be sure to include it next time. The center cab isn’t actively used anymore, but rather it sits as a prop near downtown Crab Orchard
@@rail.tennessee I drove past there today, November 7th. And I seen a f unit diesel locomotive. I'm not sure what model it is. But that's a huge and a very rare surprise.
the low joint at 4:25 makes me cringe lol love the paint scheme!
An O is not a 0, 5206!
Why can't they bolt on a nice five-chime that's fun to hear?
That horn on the 4023 is a truck horn. It’s less expensive to buy a truck horn than an
actual locomotive horn! Us
rail fans prefer our traditional
locomotive horns. I wonder if
these truck horns are governed
by the same noise pollution
standards as locomotive horns.
It sounded loud and unappealing! Good video, though!
@@TPW900GP35 Yeah, that horn... 🤮
I'm kinda wondering why they favor the high nosed locomotives
Very nice video, well done. I noticed stepless zoom, what camera do you use and can you tell me more about the gear you are using....?
Has the company said anything about saving the two hi Hood U-boats they have? I ask because i coukd see one at tvrm and another at sarm
They look very heavy
Awesome video! I’m thinking about heading up there pretty soon, but I don’t know when they run. Would you happen to know if they run every weekend? Thanks!
Monday-Wednesday-Friday is the norm but may have changed recently
Side note. How deep are the tunnels at the mines. The ones visible by interstate 40? I've been trucking and seeing the tunnels since 03051995.... thxs
2:05 the bridge look rusty, is that safe?
I have a question. Looks like 3043 is a GP-35 rebuilt as a GP38-2. I´m saying that because, there are only two radiator fans, and to be 3,000 HP, the new, 645 engine, requires a turbo. And looks like, if there is a 645 engine, is roots, not turbo, and therefore, instead of 3,000 is then, 2,000. Am I right?
These remind me of the Alcos in India. They are being phased out…
Those GE’s B-23’s would take forever to start loading up. You could not kick cars with them.
I preferred the GEs.
I have always liked there livery, could care less avout the high hoods though honestly.
Well then. I'd always pronounced it "loyst". And how is an open pit quarry considered an "underground" mine?
There’s no real way to film the underground portion of the mine without having a proper Lhoist employee safely guide you to it, which is highly unlikely to happen.
Thanks for watching!
@@rail.tennessee Thank you for clarifying.
Alco?
Lhoist is a tongue twister. are you pronouncing it, LOW-OST, or LO-WA'SST??
I prefer L-Hoist.
@@RealJeep you make sense, but listen to his pronunciation at the beginning of the vid. nothing online that clarifies it. Tennessee Central sounds better.
The second option is closest to how it’s pronounced… for the longest time I thought it was pronounced ELL-HOIST. Definitely an interesting name!
Oh Cheeee, looks dirty honking is even more dirty like a truck
Oh look another overseas company owning property in the usa
Not...
Those are some noisy cars
High hoods are neat to look at, but absolute shit to run from.
i prefer to Russia in production than America
