The coal transported by this long train is indeed coke, recognizable by its gray color with some silver highlights. It is also less heavy than anthracite.

The horn salute engineer was obviously a Jawtooth fan, just like the rest of us! Great catch!

102 cars, 414 axel X 114 tons=11,628 tons, plus the lonely locomotive. Now that is quite a feat for that engineer. And a show of power for that locomotive.

Photographed at the intersection of CSX and NS one the Hobo Shoestring Highway It's ironic as you show the coke train USS is in the middle of decommissioning 3 Coke Ovens at their Clairton works whose production was sent to Gary IN. Last year Cliffs closed their Coke plant in Follansbee WV and there are only 16 operating Coke plants in the US. Actually a Popeye energy day with the coke train then lapped by a coal train and concluded by an ethanol train. CSX tossed in the oldies boxcar Roundup for another classic Jawtooth Trackside visit

@@BradleyRobinson-vi7gf sadly since I live in Milwaukee I don't know where that coke came from and coming down to that lower-level makes me think it's going to go into a barge. The closest Coke customer in the area would be AK Steel in Middletown Ohio. We had a Coke plant in Milwaukee that closed in 1982 and they finally got the property cleaned up about 2 years ago. There also used to be a Coke plant in Ironton Ohio but that's been gone a number of years also. It's an impressive operation watch them make it but that sulfurous rotten egg smell was horrible. I hope someone knows the answer but since they use NS cars it most likely originated on NS

Just imagine how much Coal it took to make that much Coke....just to make Steel..

I noticed the locomotives on that empty coal were running “southern style “ long hood forward, sweet!🤩

They call it the Black Hills by me because the women would wash their white sheets and shirts and by noon they would all be black from all the coal burning factories around them. Still called Black Hills to this day even though the trains have been gone for a century or more.

Always enjoy watching your videos, wish we could get trains like that here in the UK.

It’s incredible that one un rebuilt old Dash9-44CW can pull this train all by itself. In south Miami Dade County on the CSX S Line in the Kendall area in the late 70s and early 80s before the line was rebuilt, a single 4 axle u-boat, dash 7, or GP 38 or 40 would pull in excess of 100 loaded rock cars on light bent rail, muddy right of way and lots of weeds. At 10 to 15 mph. No six axles at that time on this line.

Very cool JT. Great salute there too. After checking Google Maps, it looks like a 1.7 mile train could cross over/under itself there at Kenova. Kind of like the Tehachapi of West Virginia. Thanks for a great one.

Thanks for another video from your 23 March 2023 trip to Kenova, West Virginia, Jaw Tooth! The Norfolk Southern coke train coming across the bridge from Ohio was impressive because of its slow steady pace. When you said that the coke came around and then passed under the bridge, I was wondering how the train did that. I looked at Google Maps and saw that when a train goes across the bridge and then makes a left turn the train goes down a grade into a Norfolk Southern yard. There is a track in the yard that makes a U-turn at the east end of the yard that allows a train to come off the bridge or trains created in the yard to head west on the Norfolk Southern tracks that go under the bridge. The CSX manifest train that went westbound under the Norfolk Southern bridge was a nice addition to all the Norfolk Southern trains. I also enjoyed the horn salute that the engineer on that intermodal train gave you and 1960gambit. It must be a wonderful feeling to get acknowledged by the train crew as you are railfanning.

Hey jaw tooth you hit the jack pot. Trains one after another. Have a great railroad day 🚂🙋‍♀️

Pretty cool. I hauled coke to the power plants along the Ohio river just outside Cincinnati Ohio. Hauled mine run coal from eastern Ky to Hatfield coal yard in Cincinnati then take a load of coke out if all the Hatfield trucks were too busy to handle it. That was back in the mid 70s when I had my own truck and trailer.

That's a lot of loaded coke gondolas for only one Locomotive!
