I love these cab rides the view from the cab is so pretty even with the iced over trees and snow around the rails

Awesome video! Apparently IC had friendly defect detectors "Have a safe day."

I did not realize that this line had tunnels. No wonder it was built later. Nice to see a caboose on the northbound coal train. The trailing carbody unit does not give the engineer much of a view backwards. Thanks for posting this view of rare mileage!

my dad used to run that line; I remember him talking about why the IC didn't use remote control pushers because the radio signals would get lost in the tunnels. you can find the tunnels on google maps with terrain turned on if you are persistent. one of the looks like it is a couple of miles long where the track goes under a big plateau...

Thanks for all the different views, going over bridge, tunnels, and inside the cab. I set the bell to get notified for more videos. Awesome job.

Just gorgeous scenery before and after the 2nd tunnel.

I would always watch trains pass by in the Stonefort area on the old town road RR crossing. Loved seeing the train enter those two tunnels as I’ve been to them before. The second tunnel is CN tunnel #2 and is 1.3 miles long!

Wow this is so amazing video! I love it! ❤ 🔥

Being from Iowa and living in Wichita Ks. for many, many years, I'm no stranger to Ice storms. Beautiful, but cause so much damage. Thanks for the video.

That's the nicest defect detector message I've heard. Lol Awesome! Love cab engineer POV!

Thanks for uploading this.

wow CN blue devil and IC SD70 at 7:30!

seems like last night I was running on this line....a pair of ex BN SD40-2s or ICG....hired out on the CCP....its sad to see CN with their deferred repair plans....even some of my EJ&E friends say their old line is torn up.

What is the bell for on the trains?

are you holding the camcorder the whole trip?

was that an old cn rail loco or some how a pilot??

@@michaelwright8403 You can find the tunnels on Google Maps in Terrain view. Find the bridge over US45 at Stonefort, and follow the railroad south. You have to zoom in close to see where the track disappears and reappears out the other side. There are 3 of them between Stonefort and Reevesville. The first 2 are close together in the vicinity of Ozark. The 3rd is between the IL146 underpass and Reevesville.
