“New Dash 8” Boy has it changed…

My cousin lived in a house that was literally so close to the Monon Railway tracks that if the train fell over it would completely cover his house. This was in the late 70s. I was 15 in 91 and that train was a pain the butt for 3 times a day because it crossed major roads coming through new Albany Indiana,over the K&I bridge into Portland neighborhood in Louisville Kentucky.

The old red crossing beacon light s are still there to this day in spruce pine NC

This is the CSX I'LL always remember. CSX when it was a collective mix of predecessor paint schemes & foreign visitors from other railroads before the 2000's. CSX in the early 90'S.

Exactly the same thoughts I have. That is the railroad I loved. How things change.

This is a great production.

I remember when they moved the main dispatch to Jacksonville, Florida, because my grandfather cussed about it non stop, always being an issue of long distance phone calls, which often were bad quality, disconnected mid call and endless fumbling on their end.

When did they move it to Jacksonville?

DVD is available via Green Frog Productions. 1 of 3 videos in the series. Great videos.

Erwin is all but a ghost town now. Almost all the yard tracks are gone. They were supposed to tear down the building that was the Clinchfield headquarters. All that remain are memories of days gone by.

특대형 디젤전기기관차 7430호가 운전실이 복구가 안될정도로 심각하게 파손되면서 원격제어 차량으로 개조되었다.

I like loud flange squeal and engines at full power.

Wow it was sad to those beautiful seaboard coast line engines vanish.

There is something so strange about this footage. I’ve never been to this line, never watched trains going alone it. However I grew up in Ohio around this same time… and something about this is so familiar.

Cool video

It's a shame that all this was shut down in 2015.

Wow! A nice change from todays world. Thanks for putting this out !

This is great

What a wonderfully done video!

Can we possibly use a couple of these videos for a modern day clinchfield documentary? All credit and links will be provided, Thank you!

Nice video!

Where should find the music that’s throughout the video?

I was in erwin today working on a house

You would think that the narrarator would find out how to pronounce the names of places before publishing this.

Now Erwin is dead.

It's pretty sad. There are about two trains a week down the Clinchfield to the Spartanburg yard now. In the 70's it was wide open. Lots of coal and freight.

Please upload This Is Clinchfield! Cab Ride (Erwin to Spartanburg).

nice locomotive

Ghost trains paint scheme.

can you upload the elkhorn - erwin tape?

shrigma

Honestly, based. ZSP.

It's funny, 8475 still works for CSX. Not sure about the 7564.
