There's a similar video (months ago) of Brightline/FEC laying new track in the same way and I wondered then why other railroads didn't seem to adopt this approach. It's good to see CSX doing such an impressive replacement that way!

Wow, that bull elk certainly had his hands--er, hooves--full! I also always love the Happy Honkers of Chehalis; they're even happier (and honkier) than the one in Altoona. Keep up the great work!

Somehow I think the only way “runners” will be possibly stopped will be to do what I’ve seen in Europe and Asia and that’s to completely close off crossings with gates.

NSF - Non Sufficient Funds At 11:28 it is interesting how they put their bucket down on the ground to lift the weight off the machine's tracks at the exact moment the tracks would otherwise be putting weight on the (good) railhead and scratching it.

2:20 I have to figure that there isn't anything wrong with the NS engines, unless there's some miracle that made them both have a problem. It's probably a wet radiator suddenly being flooded with hot water, making the rain evaporate.

Probably the same as the string of old CSX units that were earlier in the video at Elkhart. Likely retired units that are being moved to other lines. Look at the Nashville commuter line. They use retired Amtrak power. the same is true of many railroads. When companies like CSX replace units they sell them to other powers. CN for example gets many old UP units. I've lost count of the times I've seen Canadian National trains coming through my town with obvious old UP units..
