  It's amazing how much rail traffic has changed in WNC. I was born and raised in Hendersonville and my dads mom and dad lived about 1/2 mile from the W line. I remember as a kid when I spent the night with them getting woke up by the train.

  It’s also tragic to see how there’s hardly any trains in WNC. Now, it feels like it’s going to completely disappear unless passenger rail comes to Asheville. It feels like WNC’s risk of loss in trains are very high

  Well, NS is stupid when it comes to NS P60. Putting big locomotives on a short train with like 10 cars. It had about 19 cars, and 1 dash 9 would work well, but run in notch 8 which is great in my opinion. Wonder what your answer to why P60 had Geeps S&A? Because that’s just my theory. It could be an issue with the dash 9.

  @@ashevilletrainman6989NS completely moved operations from Asheville away, probably due to damage from Hurricane Irma, and PSR. Now some trains go through Roanoke to get to NC! Like the cars headed to Charlotte take 126 to Roanoke, and get blocked off to the NEW 134 (yes, 134 got moved too) and head to CLT the Long Way, that’s surprisingly efficient! Covid was the straw that broke the camels back for Asheville, and the Canton mill closure made it worse! Seeing this happen, and if it will happen like forever, NS will get rid of operations out Asheville and Asheville might become the 1st city in the southeast with no Class 1 railroad.

  I’ve been meaning to post all of my clips I’ve taken over the past few months. Asheville may be a small yard but it gets a fair share of interesting action. Few nights ago , the 2am train was made up entirely of empty intermodal cars. Super more interesting to me was I left the west side of the yard after it left … and there was ANOTHER empty intermodal car entering the yard. On Sunday the train from Knoxville arrived at 10am, and the last car was an auto rack with all of the grey sheeting removed and the doors open.

  What’s your thought on the future of railroading in Asheville ? How many other customers really are there ? Canton literally had more rail cars then in the Asheville yard sometimes. It’s a shame but I’m glad I caught a little bit of the haydays back in 2010s. Every time you drove by the yard there would be trains East and westbound ; parked and ready to move. Oh man and the coal trains!!! I loved em cuz they’d creep into the yard sooo slowly. And always stop before fully in. I’ll be turning into Chattanooga trainman eventually as you don’t even need to railfan chattanooga you just drive around and boom there’s trains everywhere.

  I heard that some special train came through Asheville last week and the week before, transporting cars to Spencer. Hope that would be the new normal, or, Asheville is dead. Usually, the freight headed there will head through Roanoke, the long way, because the S line, has seen a speed restriction of 25mph, probably due to Hurricane Irma, a crew shortage at Asheville, possibly PSR, and Covid was the straw that broke the camels back. And with P87 not running woodchips anymore and now working in Old Fort, and the closure of Canton Mill, Asheville railfanning is in deep trouble, like how it's been for 3 years unless through freight comes back! If Little Evergreen in Waynesville shuts down, I believe IPEX (formerly Silver Line Plastics) in Woodfin and Kimberly Clark, down in Hendersonville, is the busiest industry for Asheville Area. The railfans in Asheville now have to travel to catch trains until traffic comes back. Chattanooga is a great place to see some action, and I've seen Chattanooga on a webcam. Thinking of going down there one day!

  I think P87 serves Auria Solutions, and Columbia Foredt Product's, but it's as needed, or P60 is the last one on the loops, serving those Industries. This can be a reroute, because I believe those cars should head to Roanoke, and ride another train to Knoxville, the normal out of the way route, and one of those trains got ti big, they needed to run this extra. Somethings up, or a new normal is coming. Well find out next week. I will make a description for this video soon.
