My dad loved baseball as well, he signed with the Chicago Cubs and played in the Virginia League Tripple A ball! He never played in the majors as he left and joined the Navy. He was a loader in a 5" 38 on the biggest battleship, USS Wisconcin, and saved everyone in his mount when a round misfired. He pulled the round from the breach and tossed it into the ocean just before it exploded! I'm blessed to be here!

I think Cumberland Mine produces "metallurgical" coal for the production of steel and other metals. It's some special stuff. The "Tesla Fuel" mostly is coming out of the Powder River Basin of Wyoming though not exclusively, a goodly amount of that is also coming out of Kentucky and West (by God) Virginia. We load and ship hundreds of thousands of tons of it through the ports here in Hampton Roads.

@@mikep1085 Yep, but that's still like orders of magnitude better for the environment than drilling for oil out in the gulf. If you get a big coal, spill, oh well. Just call in Hulcher, and vacuum it all up and send it back to the prep plant to clean it up and sell it. If you spill a huge amount of oil in the gulf (Deepwater Horizon) or Prince William (Exxon Valdez) sound, well, you not only cannot sell that product, but it's a little bit more expensive to clean up. Using coal to generate electricity to fuel electric vehicles is far less total emissions and BS to deal with. Also, it's a whole lot better to use USA mined coal, than buying oil from some shithole country that doesn't even like us. National security and all that. Keep it USA made!

Dave, I thought I liked my job, but I believe you like yours more. lol I have some questions: 1 how wide is the typical right of way? 2 On a curve are tracks "banked" ever? 3 do the cars have any braking of their own and if so, how does that work? When I've been out west you can't believe how long the coal trains are and how often they are spaced. Thanks for your time, Lee

@ccrx6700

20 күн бұрын

Typically the mine owns 150 feet on both sides of the track, in some places they own even more. All of our curves are banked except those in the yard tracks. Banking a curve is called super elevation in the curve. Every car has it's own set of brakes on each truck on both ends of the car. When there is a drop in air pressure on the train brake line, that signals to the control valve on the car to apply air pressure to the brakes. A drop in air pressure on the train line can be initiated by the loco operator via a handle or if the cars separate going down track by themselves then all the air is dumped out and the train goes into emergency where the brakes on all cars are applied full on. Really appreciate your taking the time to visit with us and may you have a very good day my friend.

Wow...exciting indeed! I'm happy things have turned around and mine production is healthy and up, and the railroad is benefitting from the good times too. It is neat to have a professional video made of the whole operation too. That will be neat to see. Thanks, Dave! 🤠👍

Always good news when a company puts safety first. You take pride in your work, too, which is absolutely wonderful! Love hearing your excitement - it's catching, you know. Love the views from above the train, and I could hear the drone whizz by, but not see it. Not till it landed, lol! Thank you for sharing. Hope you can continue to bring videos for years to come.

Hi Dave! Love your videos! I saw the band "Timbuk 3" that wrote the "Future's So Bright" song, live, way back in 1990 at the giant quansett hut that used to be (torn down now) called the "City Colliseum" in Austin, TX. Originally built in the 40's or 50's. Timbuk 3 opened for Bonny Raitt at that show. Thanks for bringing back the good memories!! P.S. My first experience with Heidelberg beer!

Congratulations on all your good news Dave! I enjoyed the train footage too, thank you for talking us along!

People don't realize that you need coal to make high-carbon steel (really any carbon-bearing steel). It's where the carbon comes from. You want to get rid of hardened steel?!!! Because getting rid of coal is where you get rid of hardened steel. Burning it in power plants, while a bit less clean than other methods, is still the only way communities are able to get power. The two power plants where I live were coal up until a little while ago and I live within throwing distance of Niagra Falls! We just can't live without it.

Thank you for the very nice comment Nolan. The owner of our company does watch my videos as well as others in upper management and likes them. And yes I am an advocate for Iron Senergy along with the coal industry. I am so pleased that Iron Senergy has spent the money on our tracks and I am proud to be able to say that they do care about worker and train safety. Coal mines in the past have not always had a very good public image. Cumberland Mine in the past has tried very hard to be a good neighbor to this county and that image has been enhanced with Iron Senergy. Very much appreciate your taking the time to check out the video and may you have a very good day my friend.

I can't wait to see the "professional video" but I think Dave does a good job on his own. If he's not featured the the pro video I'll be very disappointed for the lack of research they did on how anyone knows about this railroad. I stumbled on this channel when it was just over 5000 subscribers and Dave has built it up to 75000 now! I can't wait to see him get his silver play button!!!

That's a very respectable consist they're moving. Hopefully the per mile track costs will come down as all the residual maintenance issues (spawned by the prior regime's neglect) get cleared up. It's nice to have money spent on you, but you don't want to be known as the kid that costs extra!

Very cool Dave. The drone operator has some skill. I wouldn't have tried to take it through the tunnel while close to the train. Speaking of which ... I think you've covered it before, but what is that on the mast on the front end of #22? And how are those remote-control electrically powered hopper cars working out? Condolences to you and his family on the passing of Terry. I know he is missed. I'm looking forward to the video being released, I'm interested in watching it.

So it is just a first impression, but your channel is the foundation of Iron Synergy's idea to make a professional video. And it is rare to see a corporation so conscious about keeping things up. I can just imagine the "playing to win" example they set causes everyone to be more willing to look out for the company's interest.

$75,000 per track mile for 16 miles of track = one million, one hundred fifty two thousand backaroos - Thats a bit of money there. Ill be waiting to see that video they are making. Hopefully they are using Davinci Resolve to edit the footage. _(Thats what I use, video coming really really REALLY soon on that)_ I have also been working on the levitating locos and I think I have a break through.
