CSX Heavy rebuild shop yard, Huntington WV 

Ah Ha, I knew I should of asked you, it crossed my mind to send you a pick that day don't know why I didn't. Thanks Dave glad you liked it, my friend

Squaw Creek coal company had a huge strip mine operation with a load out on the Ohio River at Yankeetown Indiana.

Thats awesome, hope I did it proud, thank you for watching.

For sure, it was great. Thank you.

It was a cool place, wish the weather was better when I went. Thanks for watching Roy, stay well.

Thanks Arty, so glad you enjoyed it, love when I go to these spots and see great locos that you thought were gone, and the caboose' es that I come across just lights me up. Sure do miss them

@@TriGogglin These types of spots are extremely rare now in my area, and parts of Sydney. Micro management in the government departments killed it. We had rail yards, storage yards and multiple maintenance facilities here. All gone once the micro management got into it, deregulated the rail industry, and brought in contractors. Many of the contractors that wont pay their bills and under cut way below affordable rates....

@@Ausmerica Sydney, Australia?

@@mshum538 Yes I am. Well close to Sydney, I'm to the south it's nicer here.

Thank you Sarah, wish i could fish somewhere every day. And a happy Sunday to you too.

Very welcome Ralph, glad you liked it.

Whoa, thats awesome Bob, thanks for this comment.

Thanks Matt, yeah seems every time i show up somewhere its closed, I always have the worst timing, but at least I got to see what they had. Thanks for watching.

@@TriGogglin I've done the same thing. I now try to check on the Internet to see if they have a Site and try to check out Opening Times. But with Covid this doesnt even work all the time anymore.

@@jebbthetrainkid1281 yeah that would do it, but problem is I seldom know I'm going to these places 🤣🤣 I just end up there..

Thanks Lee, appreciate it

Very welcome Art, and thank for watching and all the ideas you come up with, thats not a bad idea if I don't get my original plan to work. I got some old dummy engines and an old dash 8 with no motor in it. And yes that USDA car was fantastic. Glad I seen it, cause never seen nothing like it befor.

Thanks Jason, most definitely got their hands full. Wish the weather was better when I went but at least I got some good stuff. Thanks for watching and appreciate the comment.

Very welcome Val, told ya I had another one for ya 🤣 thank you for coming back for more. It was a fun day.

The Western Maryland scenic rr has the this locomotives sister (1309) restored. They ran it for a few days last month for their "North Pole Express'" trains. Was lucky enough to get a couple of videos of it running. Truly a sight to see.

Oh man that would have been cool to see for sure, thanks for the info ill have to go look that up.

@@TriGogglin definitely check their Facebook page, I'm almost certain they have pictures and videos of it running. Hopefully you'll be able to come to Cumberland and check it out when they start running it routinely.

@@Midnight-tw3gp thank you, that would be a nice trip.

I love this kind of info, thank you. His statue was out front of the yard masters office, was getting ready to read the plaque on who he was and get a video, thats when the train showed up and I took off running to get it, and I forgot to go back, lol so thank you. Much appreciated.

Hello, from Ohio, thank you appreciate you watching

Yes Dave I was shocked and amazed that in the first 12 hours it took off. Thank you for watching, glad you enjoyed it.

Sure is, I liked this place, thanks for watching glad you liked it.

I think a lot of those locomotives were in Cumberland last year.

Does Cumberland not do paint and heavy repair anymore?

There are definitely a lot of railroad scrap yards, but this one is a rebuild shop, their all just waiting to be worked on, in one format or another. I appreciate you watching and leaving me a comment. I do have another video similar to this that is kinda a scrap yard, I did 4 months back, take a look I think you'll like it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-i6kUkwh1XPc.html

Thank you. I had fun making it.

Thank you, it was pretty cool to see.

Yeah Joe, thought someone would like those, thanks for watching.

Lol Dwight, thank you, I actually did have some with me, you seen it in the recipe video I did, the 2 csx engines in the back when I held up the bag was this trip. Gotta make some more and head out again. Thanks for watching buddy.

Thanks Al, I had a really good trip. And really didn't know what I was going to see till I got there and was very pleased. Glad you liked it.

And I thank you Dave for watching, glad you liked it.

Thank you, yeah but some may see the rails again.

@@TriGogglin hopefully

Thanks Jenny, so glad I included that hopper, couldn't figure out what it was, even Googled it lol. Very glad you liked it.

@@TriGogglin I'm a freight car nut lol- Jenny

Thats awesome, did they do it or at least take it into consideration. Thank you for watching.

@@TriGogglin They said, "Gee, that's a great idea, but we aren't doing it..."

@@Shield.148 lol figures, company's have the means to do things but don't, I once wrote a letter to menards and asked them to do Their train stuff in N scale they too said nope. Only O and HO

Yes indeed, gets you hooked and can't undo it, thanks for watching much appreciated.

Thanks Anthony 😊

Oh man you are not kidding. Heck I just want what one would cost, 🤣 so glad you enjoyed this video. I want a chessie or conrail caboose as a man cave.. 🤣

Thank you Ryan, and thanks for the hospitality, I had a great day in Huntington. I'll definitely make a return trip. Was still things I wanted to see, and thanks for the support.

Thank you, so glad you enjoyed it.

Very welcome Shawn, hopefully most of these will be put back out on the rails.

And hopefully more of these beauties will get some attention, thank you for watching.

Back in the 90d’s csx had engines painted orange/pumpkin colored, anyone remember and know why????

@@mshum538 I remember that paint scheme. It was called the pumpkin scheme. It was used to identify Maintenance of Way (MoW) equipment. Usually locomotives. But occasionally other track equipment

@@CSX4772 Those engines were restricted to 30 mph, they were outlawed for revenue freight…only to be allowed for MOW service…..

Oh wow Kevin great info thank you. I'll have to do some digging. And yes had a great day in Huntington and the surrounding area. Stopped and had a ham and cheese at Tudors Biscuit world, was going to eat a cams hams but ran out of time. I think I hit every street that day. Weather was not the best, but thats not Huntington fault 😆

Wow thank you Harold, really appreciate that. Thank you for watching and the great comment

Harold, i noticed you have an interest in the 1500 series, do you know why they are mp’s?

@@mshum538 Hi there. The MP 15 hood is slightly longer than the SW 1000 & 1500'S. On New York s Long Island Railroad had them in commuter service for many years before being replaced with new engines & commuter cars that reassigned them. I spotted one when I lived in Queens at that time doing freight & other maintenance of way duties. I know MILWAUKEE ROAD had them until SOO LINE took over & were orange & black, with black paint patch up with SOO LINE logo. ATHEARN in HO scale had them years earlier. My surprise spotting them on this video on CSX.

@@haroldalexis4200 I lived less than a 1/4 mi. From the Port Jefferson, L.I.R.R. terminal, and got to see them every day. I was so disappointed NO company ever deemed it worth their time to make it in an N scale version. Saw them in the Grey, blue, and white colors, and a bunch of years later, in a Forest Green, with the New York and Atlantic, Freight Scheme. Oh Yeah, the MP, stood for the company, Motive Power, 15,was 1500hp., and the ac., and dc., versions had radiator intakes, on the Nose end, or the Left and Right sides, but I don't remember which version had which.

Thank you, it was a fun day.

Lol steve, I complain to the wife about that constantly, its either closed for the winter or open Monday thru Friday thats most peoples work schedule. Yes it should be open sat sun, and closed m- f lol and yes then they want a donation. So I can look thru the fence.🤣 anyway ..... thanks for watching very glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you, and thanks for watching.

Oh man that would be awesome to see, Thanks for the heads up, but I'm stuck at work that day. Really appreciate that though.

Thats great, the rails are definitely not what they use to be. I had a really good day in Huntington, thank you for watching.

Thanks, I love this community. I would have never known, glad I put it in the video, thanks for watching.

Thanks Tom

Its definitely a cool thing to see. If you get the chance definitely go.

You would definitely be the man for the job on that Matt, so glad you watched, we'd all be interested in knowing. That would make a great video for you. Thank you for watching.

Thanks Jerry, while in Huntington WV I only caught the one, but on the way there I caught an NS coal drag in Ironton OH, and on the way home the one on the viaduct in kenova WV. But I was just happy cruising that yard and see what I could find. It was a great day, thanks for watching my friend.

Thank you, and oh that question, um I have no idea, couldn't begin to guess, you couldn't see it in the video but there's more on the other side of the bridge i was on and more towards the shop area. I'm not from there so I can't even ask any one who might know. I do apologize for the lack of info was just trying to show what I could. Maybe some one will see this comment and give us an answer. Thank you for watching.

Thank you Terry, first time I had seen one, I have recently caught another one that the word was still fully there, it's a great looking hopper.. I appreciate you watching..

I'm not sure of the state of affairs these days but, I figured all the DPUs they run with bigger trains now definitely probably put a need to download some inventory.

Ah, really, did not know this. Thank you. And thanks for watching.

That i do not know, thats what I take it as,

I'm not sure, it looks like it is a slug but I couldn't really tell. Hopefully someone else will see the comment and be able to answer. Appreciate you watching

Thank you Bill, I like when I find things I never seen, and my viewers help me out.

@@TriGogglin I head from NC to Michigan a few times a year, and my route takes me somewhat close to Huntington... (I usually use rt 35 from the interstate up to Ohio, then go diagonally to western Michigan... I will have to see about stopping there, and then going cross country up to 35....

That would be a great stop, some if my viewers say the yard changes quite often. So you'll never know what you might see.

I'm sure there maybe some truth to that, but we'll never really know. Thank you for watching.

Thanks for the link to squaw creek, thats some great info. Hope you enjoyed the video.

@@TriGogglin Did enjoy it -- thank you for it!

@@davidbeatty3540 great to hear, your very welcome.

Thank you very much, and thank for watching.

Thank you
