I love watching DIB videos because not only do you get great train footage,but you get a history lesson about the location it’s being filmed and what kind of locomotive it is, it’s specifications, and it’s backstory. Love your videos keep up the great work!

Wow!!! At the 24:50 mark you see those beautiful orange locos rocking and rolling over a stretch of very bad track. Hope they fix that. I love the corporate paint scheme of the G&W. It’s the paint scheme of the Genesee and Wyoming. The company owns a bunch of short lines, and has a common paint scheme, while keeping the local short line names. A brilliant Branding and Marketing strategy. They create a consistent corporate look while preserving the local nostalgic name. A business case study should be written about them and taught in business schools, like Syracuse University’s Whitman School of Management.

Came to watch trains, learned about onions, excellent as always

Georgia Central actually had an intermodal train L782 back on 5-25-2014. it was pulled by GC 3938 and 3 other u23b a sluh and GC 1706

Yeah I was gonna say, they had often intermodal service with NS and GC sharing the service, but G&W started charging the shipper too much money to haul on the GC or something so that’s how intermodal was cut from the GC and the port relied on NS from there on out

The horn on the lead unit sounds pitiful!! great video thank you for all the hard work!

Nice video documentation of this move of a double stack train on the Georgia Central Railroad. And thank you for your narration on this video of all of the historical facts regarding this railroad.

I know Vidalia grows the sweetest oniions ever!!

The Norfolk Southern on 725 is crooked! Thanks for the new video.

Thank you Georgia Central for demonsrtating the tracks to connect Macon (and there by) Atlanta to Savannah still very much exist. Now lets get some track upgrades done and get Amtrak's Charger units finally connecting Georgia's three largest cities like they should have been doing since their inception.

I bet it took a hour for that train to get through a crossing, and it's a miracle it didn't derail. Ha Ha...

lol @ 31:10 those guys trying to pull that zero turn mower out of the mud, lol.

Only thing I could wish for more would be those black and white U23B's hauling this!

A good educational film of trains, showing the locomotives and stock on that particular railroad.

Great footage and information as always. Really dug the yard work footage.

Good Work With The Video.

I'm assuming that the rough track around Ripley will be next up for rehab. In the days when Seaboard owned this line and the line from Savannah west to Montgomery, they invested pretty heavily into the infrastructure. The dead-end section from Richland west to Marht, AL has a significant portion of concrete ties. This was all because Seaboard handled a lot of interchange traffic from Illinois Central Gulf at Montgomery until ICG pulled the plug on the Tuscaloosa-Montgomery line.

If only the horn didn’t sound like cats being pulled behind a car the train would be good looking and sounding beceides the old emd v16 sound

Their is a short line RR in Fort Wayne that has the same paint sceam as the Georgia RR you just did here, it is called the Chicago Fort Wayne & Eastern RR, could find out what and where they hall freight, i have never seen those locomotives pulling a train any where around Fort Wayne.

Good way to commit suicide. And we had 26.8 inches of snow in Easton Pennsylvania. Been a very long time since we had that. Have a nice day and stay safe😊

I love the video, and live just north of their line. But this isn't the first intermodal, just the first under G&W's running of the road.

I’m just surprised a couplet sent break

Last I knew Georgia Central and Heart of Georgia were collaborating on Intermodal Trains from Savannah to Cordele's 'Inland Port" facility. I did notice awhile back looking on Google Earth that a track accessing same looked to be under construction. Did they take over the traffic or has the port gone bust?

I would say it’s possible but unlikely. It would be hard to get long distance routes dominated by csx and ns. And if they did the cost of upgrading all these 20th century lines would be ungodly. They might be able to split into regional groups like GC,HoG,GSWR, and acquiring disused lines like the former Central of Georgia from ns forming one new railroad.

How the hell did they allow a train that’s 6400 ton to run on a track that rough?!

Why switch out 4 ,for 4 why didn't the first 4 pack just didn't take it all the way to Savannah?

Sorry for the late reply, but they swapped out the power for a power balancing move. They needed the power in Lyons so they could run their other road trains. It doesn’t make a lot of sense to those who chased it either since they turned around and drug another train from Savannah - Macon after they arrived but…
