Amtrak Picks Up Passengers At Second Least Used Stop In America. CSX, Thurmond West Virginia Trains!
Ойын-сауық
Amtrak Cardinal Stops At Thurmond, West Virginia. CSX Freight Train Goes Past Historic Train Station. Close Look At Track And Railroad Interchange. Includes Railroad Tower That Hobo Shoestring Climbed Last Year. These trains are in Thurmond, West Virginia on the CSX New River Sub.
The Amtrak Cardinal stopped at the station running a little more than a half hour late. Passengers can be seen boarding the train. We also have a westbound CSX freight train that followed behind Amtrak a short time later. The video includes a close look at the older rail that is still in use on the interchange track for RJ Corman and CSX. I rode down here with Scott 1960gambit. This video was actually going to be Part 2. Part 1 is longer and includes RJ Corman pulling a loaded coal train back up to Pax with 3 locomotives. That video will be posted soon but I had a problem with it. I had a setting on my camera wrong and the stabiliser was turned off.
This Amtrak stop used to be the one with the fewest riders on the entire Amtrak system. Another stop out west took the number one spot for that recently. The Amtrak Cardinal only makes 3 round trips a week through here on its run from New York City to Chicago. That only gives you 6 chances per week to see an Amtrak train pass through here and in the winter most of them are at night.
We were in Thurmond for 10 hours from noon until 10pm. It is about a 4 and a half hour drive. We saw 3 through freights, Amtrak and an RJ Corman train with 6 loads of coal. My other part of this video will be posted soon. Best frequencies for Thurmond are 160.230 for CSX, 452.9375 for End Of Train Device and 160.845 for RJ Corman Railroad.

Here is Part 2 for this video kzread.info/dash/bejne/qZWgttmYZKrQaMY.html
I know the 10 Ton limit sign is for the cars but it's amusing to see it attached to a railroad bridge.😄
Neat old semaphore signals at the station.
The center looks more like an old Motel .
This little town fascinated me last year when you were there...and I'm still taken by it! Thanks for going back and showing it to us again!! Would love to see it in person someday.

Why would Amtrak build a new platform for a station for a train that very seldom stops there, it only stops there when passengers are getting on or off which are only about 10 or less passengers per month.

It doesn't cost Amtrak much if anything at all to maintain a "stop" here. The station is not staffed. The park service owns the building. Since the train goes by here anyhow, it is a "win-win" to take care of any passengers that may want to board or de-train here.

This was a nice short video of trains that passed through Thurmond, West Virginia in the late afternoon of 30 May 2023, Jaw Tooth! I thought that I remember hearing that the reason that Amtrak's Cardinal passenger trains stop at Thurmond, West Virginia was to "kiss up" to Senator Richard Byrd for him to approve funding from the Federal Government for Amtrak. I am looking forward to your upcoming video on the trains that you saw at Thurmond, West Virginia earlier in the day.
Great video!

I love seeing rail depots getting repurposed. I know a guy who owns a 80's style monster truck and does build them for others. His shop is a old 1800's rail depot building. He parks his monster truck where the tracks would have came in front of the depot. He's built a garage cover where the tracks had went.

Looks like they'll pull up the switch rail and lay the new rail on the ties. I'm sure there's an FRA defect in the split rail heads. Speaking of rail, the oldest rail I've seen is 1905 and still in use.
