NS P29 & CLNA: Newport & Morehead City, NC - 6/14/2023

June 14, 2023.
Norfolk Southern P29 (the New Bern to Morehead City turn) on the former Atlantic & East Carolina between Newport and Morehead City, NC.
The 65th annual Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament was going on during that week of June, so downtown Morehead City was busy with traffic and festivities. Several banners advertising the world-famous tournament were displayed along Arendell Street and Norfolk Southern's EC-line.
After P29 arrived at the state port, Carolina Coastal Railway 8311 briefly went outside the state port yard for switching head room. The 8311 is fairly new to the Port of Morehead City, which arrived on the property back in March of 2023. The state port now has three Carolina Coastal switchers (8311, 106, and 486). A couple hours later, P29 is seen heading back west through Newport with cars from the state port and Hanson Aggregates.

I saw that train sitting in new bern yard
Is P29 the morning run from New Bern to the state port? If so, I caught it on Friday dropping open hoppers at Hanson Aggregates and street running on Ardell Street. I didn't chase it to the port. I had to get back to the hotel. I got lucky on the timing. Hopefully something turned out for me to publish. It was good being back home after 28 years. I like watching the videos in Morehead City, Newport, Havelock , and New Bern, as well as Jacksonville. Thanx for putting the time into making and publishing these videos.

Yes, the daily (M-F) run to Morehead City is P29. I enjoy capturing railroad scenes from eastern NC, definitely some unique branch lines and secondaries.

@@crescentlimitedproductions9192 thanx. Now I can reference P29 in the video title and description section. I just gotta edit the video, get it in the Studio, and schedule it to publish.
Y'all oughta be trackside when Progress Rail ships out export locomotives to the Port. Some are shipped on their own trucks, whereas others are shipped on 6 & 8 axle flats...

There are some videos on this channel from this past winter and spring, featuring the export shipments to the state port. Definitely a neat operation to document.
Do you know if the CLNA headquarters in Wilson deal with the Carolina Coastal branch in Morehead City?

Yes, I think it's part of the same company. They have several small lines operating in different areas.

Yes, the CLNA operation in Morehead City is part of the same CLNA headquartered in Wilson. Also the same company that operates the former Nash County Railroad to Rocky Mount. They are continuing to grow, and acquired the Clinton Terminal Railroad a couple weeks ago.
Some of those hoppers look like coal hoppers that have had a top added so they can haul something else. If this is what they are, then it’s a great way to get more use out of a car type which is being used less in recent years. I know a lot of coal is hauled in what are technically “gondolas”, since they are rotary dump and unloaded out of the top while upside down. They are falling out of use too, since current policies are hostile towards coal. I would guess the older and smaller coal plants are the ones that get shut down first, and they would be the likeliest to have received their coal in hoppers.

The black hoppers are carrying rock to be dropped off at Hanson Aggregates, a rock & gravel dealer in MHC.
