Another awesome video. Thanks for sharing these views that most of us would otherwise be unable to see. Your hard work and time are appreciated.

a salute to glory days. great vidya. thank you so much!!

I love small shortline’s like this. I guess it’s the simplicity of them, then ya got classic locomotives, jointed rails and friendly crews.

Glad to see the shortline getting some attention. I go there sometimes, to go shopping or get car parts and always see some locomotives sitting out or that old snow blower out. Never see them in action though.

I love the picturesque names these little operations have.

Great video, Wish you would have seen this railroad back in the day when the steel mill was going strong and the C&BL was interchanging cars with Conrail and the Chessie System several times a day. They worked around the clock. Johnstown was a great place to grow up and watch trains!!!

These videos just speak volumes. That a.m. shot with the clouds and fog being touched by the Sun. I have been here with Paul Schneider when he was doing the Horseshoe Curve tape for Kalmbach in the late 1990s and the mill was already closed. Your shot of the empty yard which is where we saw hundreds of empty gondolas and flats that would never work again and the contrast of a brand new BN coal train being ready for delivery from Johnston American car which is gone now too. Here's to.that loneliest SW and I had said to myself on that trip a train going over that thin black Bridge would look great and 25 years later I was right. Here's to that little Survivor

Great video. Always fun to have new learning.

Well done video !

Excellent footage!

Thank you for uploading this video of the Conemaugh & Black Lick Railroad that you took on 21 July 2023, Sam! I never knew that this railroad existed until I saw its name in the header of this video. I liked watching the switch engine doing its chores. (Posted 5 July 2024 at 2100 CDT.)

Like the over head view, great catches. New sub. all the best.

Great shots man, what a neat little railroad!

Beautiful. Great video.

Nice catches!

Nice video excellent my friends 😊

That wire came from our area down at Liberty Steel in Bartonville IL, obvious with that TZPR gon with wire from the wire mill. Nice to see where that ended up.

Very good video! That is the type of railroad that I would want to work for!!!

What if a company in this video is looking for workers, then they could be found this way. Think of it as free advertising.

I was a little confused in the beginning, I thought they made the wire there, but I was educated by the end

Cool vid. Shortlines are the backbone of America! Wouldn't mind a little narration for info though.

they working a job to feed family and fear snitch manager investigator who knows if you get hurt near the tracks they could be blamed if they do not report see it from worker view would you want strangers filming you at your job all day and then posting it to internet? i would say back off give room you do not know how people will react when you push buttons and even if they are "wrong" you could end up in bad situation. no matter where you stand they were aware of you and it causing distraction use caution

Is this steel plant their only customer?

Maybe they think your a company spy ?😂
