A Day of Unexpected CSX Railfanning - Unexpected Catches 

I learned more here today than I have in 20 years of rail-fanning. Thanks for the detailed commentary without boring us to death. You did great.

I especially love the personal commentary!

Great video! I liked your narration of what the trains were doing and hauling.

Outstanding.. Loved the history, the scenery, the trains and the storytelling of an incredible (and unexpected) adventure.. Don't have a "favorite" part.. The whole video was top notch which is why I've watched it over ten times so far.. Also because it ranks in my top 5 favorite railroad videos of all time whether on or off of You Tube.. Very well done.

it about time your bought something new 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 are gone start putting up new ones thankyou for the new video

This is what I'm looking for! Steady footage, good sound, and relevant narration. You've earned a subscription sir!

Faily new to train videos and the narration is hugely helpful. Thanks. I can learn more watching one of your videos than all the rest together. Very Professional. I will be a multi day viewer. Watching all of it easy as fallin' off a log.

Loved the full spectrum narration as well as video. My favourite part was the coal train tip-toeing off the siding, with fingers crossed. I love the variety where you film, I live in Calgary, Ab and our options, while super cool, are not as varied. Although watching trains go through the spiral tunnels never gets old, especially eastbound and going uphill.

Well done, Eric! Thank for sharing. I've been wanting to revisit Sandpatch, but I've been told it isn't the same as it used to be.

I love that F-unit you caught in the beginning. Reminds me of the Keokuk Junction ones that they just got rid of last summer :-( LOL Hope you're staying safe amid the pandemic madness!

Another fantastic video! I always enjoy watching and can’t wait for the next vid!

I was through that stretch several decades ago. Thanks for the eories.

Narration makes CSX videos better.

Really appreciate the commentary, thanks!

That's a great catch of those SD40-3's what a rarity. Great Video. Keep them coming.

Brilliant, G'day from Adelaide South Australia. Keep Safe

Nice video! Well done! I love the Mountain Subdivision, and I own a cabin right by the CSX in Pinkerton, PA... not far from Rockwood.

Nice details and description.

I felt like railfanning since the day I moved to Jersey! Awesome catches dude! I loved this!

Thank you for this video. As I have TSW2 Sand Patch game on my PC. It's nice to see good quality videos on the area I play to pass the time in the colder months.

I liked the clarity of your video and the bits of history you injected throughout. Thank you for posting.

Awesome caches, I also railfanned up at Cumberland 9-12-20 and the highlights I caught at the deadline yards were: - The stealth unit - The Monon Emblem - The Spirit of Nashville - 4 SD50-3's - Ex-CR & Ex-LMSX C40-8W's - A YN2 SD40-2 - A Cabless Yard Slug - A RARE SD60M - And lots more

worth a second watch.

Thanks.

Very cool to see something from this part of the world. My mother was from Moorefield. I'm in Huntington on the far west side of WV. I go to Moorefield for a family reunion every June.

Great educational explanations in commentary. The absolute I’ve listened to on RU-vid so far. Thankyou

nice comments explaining things

Really entertaining catches and narration, didn't even feel like an almost 30min video. Great job!

Enjoyed see those C&O cars.

Enjoying all your great videos! =)

Kinda funny I have a photo in a book from the Chessie era of those same types of welded rail cars crossing at that same interlocking in the mid 80s, and it was meeting a train going west too. really cool video around Cumberland!

Very Nice! Outstanding

This was a very well produced video. I liked the informative narration and chatter among the crews from the radio. Nice job. I will be watching more of your videos.

Excellent vídeo my friend !!! Like 😉👍

Great video!

Awesome video! You ended up getting some great luck in end!

JUST FOUND YOUR CHANEL like what I have seen thus far

Nice Video 🌺🌺🇮🇳🌺🌺

Absolute amazing capture

Thanks great video railfan restricted by cv19

Great video was that a old switcher and a old western Maryland unit next to the coal mine. Good job

Your videos are fantastic. Video quality and audio are superb and you do a great job with timely narration. Keep it coming!

Awesome video and great, informative commentary :) (I often wondered what CSX stood for)

Loved this interesting video

nice video

Amazing production. I hope you get to 100,000 subscribers soon!

I love your narration.

Excellent catches! The commentary makes the videos just that much better!

Very good voiceover, and those maps are very helpful. That engineering train is interesting, I thought the little cab thing on the end was powering the whole thing.

You put together a great story on the trains of the day. Your use of maps add helpful context to where you are.. At about 13:50 the centerbeams are carrying what ?? aluminum slugs maybe ?

Your narration and videography are superb! The scenery is so beautiful in that part of the country. What program do you use to use to make the makes you show on screen?

Good info on rail moved export coal.

Hello from Cornwall. Away from home, I see. Fun video. Other than riding B&O passenger trains through that territory many year ago, that’s terra incognito to me. I really like the narration. You have a good voice and speak clearly and slowly. Quite nice actually. As always, your video work is first rate!! Thank you again. I always await your wonderful videos. Stay Well. I put a few insignificant items in your email. CAS.

That was a really great video, mate! Fantastic filming and great commentary too! I’m a new subscriber, your video came up in my varied suggestive videos and I’m glad I clicked on the video, I do love American freight trains. I live in Adelaide, South Australia, and we have freight trains also, double-stacked container trains, mineral ore, steel, grain, just to name a few. You can see them on my channel, Caleb’s Rail Films, you’re most welcome to check them out when you have time. My intention is to eventually come to the States to film your amazing freight trains, so much longer than ours usually. I only hope there is still coal trains around to film when I get there in 2025. 2025 is what we are aiming for as it will be my 30th birthday year. The bulk of our coal trains down under are on the East Coast in New South Wales and Queensland. A bit of a hike to see them regularly where I live lol 😆. I never knew Shaw Mine on the Salisbury Branch is only serviced once a month, interesting. The Shaw Mine sequence on the video was my favourite. I do love playing Sand Patch Grade on Train Sim World 2 as well. Though, gaming doesn’t do justice to this extraordinary route. You have to see it in person and hopefully I will be able to do that at some point. Anyhoo, take care, stay healthy and I look forward to your next video. Regards, Caleb

LOVE IT

CSX # 83 never seen a number that low here in Marion Ohio

Very Nice Catches There! U should do a vid on the NS Lurgan Branch next!

This video is well executed. Narration is on point and professional, almost reminds me of my videos. Also, have you thought about coming to the NS Roanoke District again? If you are, let me know and maybe we can get together.

Would love to meet with you some day. I'm part of Railfanning Adventures! on Fb and RU-vid. Ypur videos are so well done and informative that it would be really cool to be on location with ya. I have fond memories of Cumberland to Martinsburg and the surrounding areas.

I wish CSX does heritage unit paint schemes like NS and UP did. I hate those small decals that you can’t see

Its cool to see Cumberland Yard on video after being familiar with it in Train Sim World 2. I now know what left part of the Y goes to at Viaduct Junction

I live right across the river from Hancock and I get great train traffic on my property

🔰 This videographer has such a calming voice 👍

Outstanding video in every respect: locations, videography and narration. Since you’re so familiar with PA railroading, have you been to any of the locations used in the movie “Unstoppable”?

Hello I met you east of Richland in October of last year at the grade crossing. Can you tell me how many trains I can see in daylight on Sand patch these days and if you know what train symbols I’m likely to see. Thanks. I may go there in January for several days

I live right across the river from Hancock and there where I live we get great train traffic every day‘s a go for my property

Make more videos please, I SUBSCRIBED!

That pair, 465 & 8909, also feature in another video I've just been watching today.

CSX lately has bin cutting back on loco power. The owner calls it cost saving but it really isn't its making things a lot worse than what it could of bin.

Excellent commentaries! I deplore however the overall lack of plant maintenance - this does not do justice to legacy of the original railway visionaries responsible for the very existence of these infrastructures. 2021/10/30. Ontario, Canada.

best chilidogs known to man can be found in downtown cummbie...

My favorite part was the SD40-3 numbers are brother sister pair. AC44CW including YN2 paint still running. The older CSX YN1 Lastly the Caboose Cross track safety. Stay safe during Covid-19. National Train Day is tomorrow. Enjoy

I met you at that little Crossing in Richland last October. These days how many trains can I see on the sand patch grade each day in daylight. I’d like to go there in the fall and hike on the western Maryland rail trail which I understand is always in close proximity to CSX

It’s a daily manifesto to Chicago

Awesome film - you do the same I do in my channel. Only differences are the language and the country. Thx for showing and the comment

This route reminds me of something i play the remastered version everyday

Man we got to meet up when this covid is over! I need these trains in my life! And I drive them! Haha

What is that noise at 13:12? I've heard it before but I'm not entirely sure what it is. Thanks in advance.

16:25 did anyone recognize the EMD T4 uint #8909 ?

Great content and narration, but no 4k as mentioned in your description...the 4k is there now (revised 5/09). Btw, are you using the new 4k Panasonic Camcorder for this video?

If an engine is off line, is it running or is the engine turned off?

To be continued? Part 2?

if the Georges Creek Railroad has no customers, then why did they buy a new locomotive?

Do you know which line Amtrak 29 was running?

🔰 How do you know if a locomotive is ‘offline’ aka ‘dead in tow’❓Is it because there’s no smoke from the top or are you looking at the heat exchangers on the top sides❓

How do.you pick up.the chatter of the conductors being an indian railfan, we just keep staring at the signal to guess if a train is coming or not.😅😅😅😅

27:40 YN2 in the background

Never seen twin units run together in real life or on youtube(11:39)

I give a ditto to Trains 21.

🔰 How do they know all this VERY detailed data about each singular locomotive/railcar and which import/export terminals❓It’s quite fascinating.

know nothing r.r., old man was window replacement up in north white plains 1946-1956 pass in to gct & w.p.? was is trye down? every thing else is explained well.

why cant we hear the engine work, as oppossed to watching cars pass by like counting sheep

more engine work, where the throttle-up and drop is not edited out
