Railroad Just Became Abandoned 

I used to live along this line from 1991 till 1996 near Nassawadox Virginia and used to watch and chase long trains sometimes 50 or more cars to Cape Charles and watch them get placed on a barge and shipped to Norfolk Virginia. Will miss that railroad. Thank you Rudy and Kendal both engineer and conductor for giving me a ride on the train from Pocomoke Maryland to Cape Charles back in 1992.

Millenniumforce is the Number One Railfan! Thumbs up if you agree!!

I remember running over the orange. I was conductor for Bay Coast for 4 years. Lot of fun and good memories made. I cried when I shut the engine down in Pokomoke for the last time

Wait a second, what happened to Engine LLPX 2014, the locomotive that ran over the Orange? The locomotives that were in this video are Engine 2001, and Engine 2000!

Its always both sad and interesting to see a abandon railroad.

Delmarva Central Railroad is suppose to take over, plus, the Delaware Coast Line Railroad from Georgetown, DE to Harbeson, DE will also be taken over by DCR, and the DCR that operates all the tracks that they were suppose to take over, will have their own local. The Alco The DCLR used to have, alco RS-16 No. 2, was also sold to someone somewhere in Connecticut. It is now being repainted at the shops in Georgetown. So basically, no abandonment taking place as DCR is taking over. Hope this helps.

So what happened to the other engine and I heard Delmarva central took over the line

Glad you documented that one.

The Buckingham Branch now runs the trains on the other side of the water from there [Little Creek]. I hope one day they'll come in and rescue that end of the line too. I'm sad to see that it closed. Great shots

love the old N&W caboose

Do the crossing signals still work? Once on a large section of railroad that had been abandoned in northern New England for about ten years ,I took a jumper cable and connected the rails down from a very rural crossing and the signals started flashing and worked just fine.

it's sad to see railroad companies and railway subdivisions to go onto the sunset for good. a lot of things can factor into a subdivision/line or a rail company closing.

No surprise they rusted like that so quickly, I've been through there a couple of times down Rt.13 when I was a trucker going from NJ to VA and NC. On one side of that area is the Chesapeake bay, and the other side the Atlantic ocean, so exposure to salty air and moisture does them in quickly. Hopefully they will get some customers out there and be put back to use. Maybe several customers and RR jobs to go with it.

Very cool Alan! Sometimes it's nice to reminisce. Long live the Stupid Orange! Congrats on the 15M views my friend! Keep the crew safe out there! Cheers, Danny

2001 had a Leslie RS3L on it. So sad to see it there. 2000 looked like it was in great shape though.

1:15 The month and exact day was my birthday June 1,2018 while I was celebrating it A train went through

You can restore the railroad back into its regular railroad or a railroad attraction just or a little play area

No way, I can’t believe my own eyes!

Ive been there once but never saw a train go by there it’s sad i had a lot of fun just looking at all the stuff on my way to Virginia Beach

This is sad seeing another rail line being adandoned happened here by me over the last 20 plus years we lost a short line now it’s a bike trail

Recent news this whole entire railroad line has been ripped up to a rail-trall and 2001 has been scrapped I wish rail trail would stop

Looks like those two locomotives are ready for conversion to razor blades or Campbell's soup cans. Sad to see. Also, who is responsible for those two pieces of equipment? How is it they can just abandon them there in place? The one with the traction motor missing looks like an accident waiting to happen.

11:42 same locomotive, but it was 2014 not 2001

Sad that it became abandoned.

Just doing some research reference this rail line as I live just a few cities over from here. They are now tearing up and removing the rail lines from Cape Charles to make a walking trail. This officially seals the fate for no future rail service or hope for recovery.

I used to work on the Barge that brought the railroad from Cape Charles to Virginia Beach

Literally nobody in that family has heard of a treadmill or vegetables.

BCR #2000 Looks like it was recently painted. And the other engine looked like it was used for parts...

Thanks for your videos. It is great you involve your family too.

Sad thing is that i remeber when the episode came out and sadly the railroad is gone. :(

Another one bites the dust. Sad to see them go that was a nice railroad.

11:43 no thats not the train that ran over orange that trains number is 2009 the train that ran over orange was 2017. stiil love your vids

Hello millenniumforce I'm zeke I'm your biggest fan ever😍😍.

I read in the local paper down there that there is some people in favor of restoring that portion as a tourist line.

Omg can believed they abandoned that track.

Good to see you all! I enjoyed the video

Great video. As a side note Americans certainly like their food.

The locomotive that ran over Orange was actually numbered #2014. A LLPX GP38.

The Delmarva Central now owns and operates it "In June 2018, the DCR took over operations from the Bay Coast Railroad on trackage owned by the Canonie Atlantic Corporation between Pocomoke City and Hallwood after the Bay Coast Railroad ceased operations on May 18, 2018. The DCR took over the portion of the Bay Coast Railroad between Pocomoke City and Hallwood in order to continue rail service to the remaining customers along the line.[13][14]" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delmarva_Central_Railroad

The railroad should have spent the money on fixing the tracks instead of the signals. I mean they don't go that fast anyway.

Didn’t have a video of the New Jersey seashore railroad for tour 9 when you said you come back October of 2018?

This makes me feel like the short line railroad where I live will become abandoned but no it will not Because they are building a new train track that goes Down Stratford road in Moses lake It’s known as the MOSES LAKE RAIL PROJECT

Very sad to kiss the Hallwood-Cape Charles portion of the bay coast railroad goodbye. I’d be curious if the Little Creek-Norfolk portion is abandoned too.

Some of the abandoned tracks in dublin city centre were converted to luas teams instead. The lines got busy again.

was a rough ride on that track

Just saying, the rail line has not been kept and weeds are horrible as of August 2020

I’m planning on making more railfanning videos myself but still staying anonymous

A Stunning reality - - - Big Rod would be Appalled !

would you like to do the stupid orange season 6 preview we've been waiting a long time to see the stupid orange again ever since the movie came out last month

+Millenniumforce *I presume the Bay Coast RxR went bankrupt this past year?* I noted several varnish and a caboose, ex-New York, Chicago & St. Louis, on static display a couple tracks over from the forner high iron.

They need to revive it, they need to petition it as well.

I HEARD THEY MADE A TRAIN MEAUSEM THERE

Kinda looks like the Genesis jet.

2001 was not the loco that ran over the orange it was loco 2014 just info

I remember hearing this in the news. So sad.

Must be nice to walk away from all that investment!

That’s sad that they don’t run the trains on that line anymore. ☹️☹️

Hahaha i was rubbin my eye when what appeared to be text spelling: POKEMON appeared. After rubbing, I found POKEMOKE :D I had to laugh!

Omg the fugitive train wreck film set in the intro!!!!!

Hey man you still driving that 4th gen Buick Regal? General Motors contributed heavily to the decline of the railroad. I used to always buy the newest Regal but until I found out what General Motors did I stopped giving them my money.

I saw a Bay Coast Railroad this Thanksgiving

Yeah what a shame I remember driving to Virginia Beach seeing these locomotives working line about 20 years ago working the agricultural chicken feed plants what a shame business has dried up

Somebody told me they saw track workers running down these tracks.

as of today 7/8/2022, the tracks are all entirely ripped up besides some locations

The Bay Coast was sold in two divisions. Last day of ops was July 31 2018. It was not abandoned. Besides, I hope this guy gets arrested for treaspassing.

Surprisingly the horns are there still

Rip eastern shore

Millenniumforce its sad how that disel was sitting there.

That loco is kinda painted like up 4141 Edit: # 2000

That locomotive sucks like you do Jack 👽👽

What's the name of the outro music?

Great video!

They had the same thing happen up here in Canada, the former Conservative government sold the rail line to Churchill, Manitoba, a seaport on Hudson' Bay, the only way in or out is the rail line to the Genosee & Wyoming Group, they had flood that washed out the line and then claimed it was too expensive to fix, the current Federal government took it over and had it fixed within 2 months, now the trains are running and you can get back in there to see the Polar Bears, and they can get their food and fuels in for the town of Churchill. So rail line can come back to life.

What’s the name of the song at the end? It’s pretty catchy. Otherwise, great video. I used to go on trips with my family to the eastern shore and I would never take my eyes off the track hoping to see a train. It too bad that I’ll probably never see one go down that line.

A good side is that kids that like trains can go there and pretend they are driving a train

My birthday is on June 1. Last train came through on my 13th Birthday.

15M views on THAT? Wow, standards have dropped to an all time low. Stonks.

It’s spelled “Pocomoke”

I really wish I could by own of the couches but sadly I’m to young and I can’t do any about it

I Guess trains were never in used.

Get ready for many more abandonment the railroad is a dying industry !

It might become owned by CSX

Its now a rail trail

Heartbreaking😢

Don't these people have jobs seems like they have all day to sit around and watch trains !

Would any one like to purchase these slightly used locomotives? I would definitely have a loco at some point.

I missed the fucking stream 😢😭😭😭

To bad ...how about building or buying a truck that rides the track and take a trip down the line that would make video

Its the end of the line for that railroad

Wait wait wait. You said 2001 ran over orange but 2014 did.

served a lot of miles on those Paducah geeps when I worked for CCP.....they were great die hard, use and abuse locomotives....

When are you going to be in the New York area?

You didn’t shave for the photo shoot? I’m so disappointed. Man of your passion and knowledge ought to be clean shaven.

You think imgok g to watch this with all those yellow dots?

I can't see the video

OH I BET

You spelt Pocomoke wrong BTW.

WOW 😳

I VISIT THERE LAST MONTH I SOLD THOSE DIESEL ENGINES

Tell them that u can get the railroad crossings for free
