@KyleVideoDesigns I don't know a lot about the line but I think I can give you a good general answer:
1) Not really sure how many in 5 hours, but I would estimate 50-60 trains a day. They tend to come in clumps, though. So you could sit for hours and see nothing or sit for minutes and see a bunch.
2) Foreign power is fairly common and the locos mainly consist of GE widecabs, but I've seen some cool stuff on the line.
Great video! Nice catches on the BNSF & CP stuff especially! BNSF power on CSX rails down here is very rare. CP used to run thru trains down here every now and then but now they swap power in Corbin,KY and run the CP power back north unfortunately for us in the south. Good stuff once again!
@TVRM610 Lol I don't know. Looks like the hoppers were all CP too, so I would assume that it's either a direct interchange train or a CP contract train. Thanks for the comment!
Hello. I have a few questions regarding the W&A sub.
1) about how many trains pass in a 5 hour period?
2) Is there common forgein power/conrails/ rare engines etc.
3) Is this a "good" line to fan at? Thanks
