  CSX 1980 merger consolidated 3 of the original tenants, not 4. C&O, B&O, and SCL.

  So fascinating to learn that there are monikers early as the end of the 19th Century

  I recently acquired a book called The Rusty Dusty about the GN line from Wenatchee to Oroville, Wa., in the Eastern portion of the state. It has much to say on the subject of reefer cars, since this is one of the best apple growing regions in North America. This presentation buts up against this book nicely!

  I still remember ( late 1960’s ) seeing “ TEX “ KING OF TRAMPS written on a big cement pillar that supported an off-ramp of the Ballard Bridge going Fisherman’s Terminal . It was in white paint with a paintbrush not sprayed. Burlington Northern and other Trains would come to the Interbay Train yard for repairs and what not but no freight loading or unloading right by the Wharf . My friends Dad had a cement pumping company there and the Hobos would camp by the shop. We’d go gock at that crude camp spot now and them . I was curious if we’d ever see a real Hobo sitting there cooking as you’d see in movies or cartoons. Never actually did but there a little campfire spot with old empty tin cans and cheap wine bottles around. The clutter changed from time to time so we knew it was-being used . It was a somewhat hidden The Port of Seattle Police didn’t patrol very much back then and now I see why it was there . Train coming’s and goings there would’ve been a better spot for Hobos than Downtown Seattle. There were other scrimmages and scribblings in chalk and charcoal there too but that “TEX “ stood out to me . I wonder if it was the real deal by the man himself ? Quite possibly ….

  I'm a welder/NDT inspector at a tank car rubber lining facility in Texas. This presentation was great, the historical knowledge was fun and interesting, overall it conveys how important the scope of our work really is, top to bottom, from the welder to the inspector to the regulation. Thank you 👍

  I just stumbled across this video last night. It was very insightful and a joy to listen to, while also dealing with the realities of what it takes to run a private car. I own my own Illinois Central caboose that I use as my apartment on my farm and I am in the process of purchasing a bay window caboose, so I know a little bit of what it's like to deal with train cars. I'm also a lifetime member of the Kentucky railway museum. If there any private car owners out there who need a chaplain, there's a priest who can offer services. 😉

  Thanks for this! I grew up in the shadow of the Yard, hearing the loudspeakers on the hump talking to the crews on the tracks all night long, walking the tracks between Hume Avenue and Russell Road, and helping my neighbor pick poke salad from the right of way each spring. I, for one, am still saddened by the lose of this piece of American history.

  Great video. I am completely surprised that I am the first to comment - and it is almost 2 years after this video premiered!! I first became aware of the Clinchfield Santa Train in 2022 and this video gave me a more info about the train. I came across the video searching for info on Railman & Railroad magazine. Glad I did, thanks Charlie in Central Ohio

  I can attest that it never leaves you, when things aren't going good knowing that you have the knowledge and experience to leave is extremely tempting. At times life on the road seems like a better alternative than trying to survive in today's society. There is use of hobo code but generally soley for aesthetic purposes in tags but this has fallen out of fashion in favor of more anarchist or occult themes.

  As a lifetime rail buff, I've ridden trains in 44 US states, 6 Canadian provinces, 3 European countries and Mexico. I lost track of my total mileage around 100,000. But I'm reasonably certain that my first railroad mileage was over the same trackage depicted in the video, sometime in 1948. My parents did not get a car until 1959, and we always took the train to visit my mother's relatives in South Carolina, over the RF&P and Seaboard.

  We always had several private cars at Miami Amtrak yard. We did maintenance on those cars. The owners were absolutely amazing. They would always invite us aboard to take a look around. During the holidays they would always hand out gifts. Very cool folks

  Just looked at the satellite image of this area I see there’s a new double track bridge now. I remember reading that it was a major choke point when they built the new bridge single track to save money. I railfan the A line in NC and it’s at least half single track I’m sure that’s fun for the dispatcher lol. Great footage i was 8 when you shot this film and just starting to really get into trains ☺️

  Trains were so much more colorful back then. I caught the tail end of the days when per diem rolling stock was common. They were mostly fallen flags by the late 90s but the leasing companies and class I’s hadn’t repainted them all yet.
