In 1994, G. Train Video Productions produced this VHS program showing CSX's CC Subdivision between Corbin and Covington, Kentucky. The scenes were shot in the early 90s and feature some awesome locations along the former L&N. New C40-8s and C40-9Ws are featured alongside older EMD and GE power inherited from the Seaboard and Chessie System after the merger. Even a few original B&O and SCL units are shown!
VHS Case Description:
"Opening scenes feature various locations, tunnels, some foreign power and an 8-unit lash-up in a thunderstorm! Later on you will see another two 8-unit lash-ups, plus more thundershowers and rain, but generally, sunlight prevails.
We begin the CC Sub at Corbin (Division headquarters) then proceed north to the helper pocket at E. Bernstadt. Here we ride 3 SD40 helpers down the tortuous 'roller coaster', through 4 tunnels.
This is a rare view for the railfan, as this area is inaccessible by car. We proceed through tight valleys and another 4 tunnels, then on to the Richmond helper pocket, where we ride through 3 more tunnels before continuing on our way to the Latonia-Covington area. In this video, the viewer is treated to a variety of locomotive types and colors, together with a glimpse into an area where tranquillity is the norm and the rugged scenery provides new challenges for the railfans and the videographer alike."
I have decided to post this video program as I believe G. Train Video Productions is no longer around, so sit back relax and enjoy some real 90s railroading in the Bluegrass State!
