Fantastic stuff most people never get to see. There is a location on the old CT&V division called "Bryan's landing". Someone (finger pointing to myself) went through a private dirt driveway crossing, and it was a rain sleet snow mix and miserable. This dummy didn't get out to make sure he cut the flanges through, but instead felt the truck run smooth, so just was sure as heck he was good...........Until the track made a left hand turn and the truck went straight. You know, I never dreamed I could almost bend a steering wheel trying to turn it.....and my foot put the brake pedal into the floor. but the tires left the rail as I bounced on the flanged wheels on the ties....no brakes on those railroad wheels....found out that ballast and radiators don't like each other either as the truck came to a stop at about a 45 deg. angle over the ballast line! First you say it, then you do it. LOL I learned my lesson. :) This was back around 89 or 90 when I was young and dumb. I am not the young part anymore! :)

What an outstanding video. I've always wanted to see the very beginning of the line where the cars are loaded. Getting to ride the rails with you and listening to your stories and history of the line is a real treat. I did have two questions, though. First, what is "long-walled"? I don't think I've ever heard that term before. Second, I realize that with two locomotives, you don't need to use the run-around track normally, but is it still in good enough shape to use if needed?

Re "Long-Walling", Copied Dave's answer to another comment: There are 2 methods of mining coal, room and pillar and long walling for under ground mines. Room and pillar they leave blocks of coal that are not mined out which support the strata above the coal seam. With long walling they take all the coal out and the the entire roof falls in behind the mining operation which also drops the ground surface. Hope this helps, it did for me. And Thanks Dave!

Very nice Dave. If I remember right, our colour wasn't great here either last fall. I always look at woodlots and forests here from the roads during spring and fall. If you know the sequence of tree species when they tend to come out in leaf, or lose their leaves, you can get a good idea of what species are dominating or present. Oaks are about the last to come out in leaf, and about last to lose their leaves. Beech saplings tend to hold their dead leaves through the winter and are easy to spot in winter. Where I live is the same kind of forests (originally) as much of the eastern U.S., so I grew up thinking it "typical". But relative to the rest of Canada, South Western Ontario is pretty unique this way. There's tree species like Paw Paw, Kentucky Coffee, maybe Shag Bark Hickory and a few others that only grow here.

So the mountain slid, eh? Back on 14 Apr '83, when I lived in Utah, there was a mountain that slid a tad. Ever hear of a place called Thistle, on the DRGW? Messed things up for several months. Thing that I loved was it took the DRGW only three months to survey 5 miles of bypass right of way (including a 3,000 ft tunnel), grade it and lay track, running the first revenue train on July 4th. (They took their time for the second line and tunnel.) Thing I loved was that it took the U.S. Guvment that long just to decide what they were going to do with US HWY-6/89! Love your vids!

Guys coming out from under ground can't believe how nice the track is out here.

Thank you so much Dennis for the very nice comment. Every curve has a degree of curvature, that is important only for a tamper operator to know in order to be able to add the right amount of super elevation to the track. Someday I will make a video and explain all that, way to much for now to explain in a comment. There are 2 methods of mining coal, room and pillar and long walling for under ground mines. Room and pillar they leave blocks of coal that are not mined out which support the strata above the coal seam. With long walling they take all the coal out and the the entire roof falls in behind the mining operation which also drops the ground surface.

Love it, thank you. one question how does the coal get to wear the conveyors pick it up? I get that the conveyors are use to load the cars, but brings the coal? trucks? But a wondeful video and super informative

@ccrx6700

Someday in the future will show a video of how the coal comes out of the mine, goes thru the prep plant and into the train cars, then at the harbor will have another vid of how it gets into the barges, so it is a rather long process, way to much to explain in a comment, so apologize for that Lyndon. Thank you so much for the very nice comment and for checking the show out tonight my friend.

Fabulous video: thanks, Dave.

That’s good that your mine is still going. Most of the mines here in western Kentucky have shut down. I can only think of three that are open right now. You can also see the trail of oil between the rails that those loose Jimmys leave.

A lot of the mines here have shut down also, there are only 4 left in our county Bluegrass Man. Appreciate your stopping by and checking out the movie today my friend.

Once again you have another fascinating video - to me, it was like taking a ride with my dad up into the hills on the old roads, with him pointing things out and telling me bits of this and that about places. It was interesting to see where the track ends at the start. Thank you for sharing with us! Where else can we just take a gander over the rails with a grand tour like as you do? Like taking a joy ride with good family. Look forward to finding the second bit!

Live in England and a regular reader of Trains so read and enjoyed the Cumberland mine Trains article and liked the cover photo👍 One I came across your videos they were a must to watch. Your videos are very informative of railroading and a delight to watch. Interested in knowing how you keep the trains safe (avoid “cornfield meets”🤔). Perhaps a future thing for a video or maybe you’ve done it already. Declan

Dave, thanks for another fantastic video. I enjoyed riding along. I can't wait to watch the other segments. I had to laughter at the non-traditional speed limit signs. Yes, people sure do seem to enjoy using railroad and road signs for target practice. I will never understand why when there can do that in a safer manner. It's hard to see defects in the video, not that I saw many. Your track looks really good, fantastic job.
