Monster CSX Mixed Freight

[CSX2665]

yes,the flats that carry the steel plates came from a steel factory over here in north carolina,the north carolina-viginia (ncva) railroad takes the cars to a steel factory alond with scrap metal gondolas as well as other cars,the cars this train takes,came from Q415 and when the cars have loaded or emptied out,they head back on F774,the daily rocky mount nc-boykins va local,and thus,the cars go back up north on Q416

[bubba2781]

@CSX2665

Rocky Mount to Cumberland

[CSX2665]

@bubba2781 oh,so rocky mount yard must have been super full,and got cleaned out because of this train lol,so its the Counterpart of Q415??? correct?

[bubba2781]

@CSX2665

yes 415 and 416 are the same train in opposite directions.

[CSX2665]

@bubba2781 actually this train had less 17,000 horsepower,the SD70MAC in this vid has 4000 horsepower,later models had 4,300 & had SD45 style radiators

Double wow! Thats incredible! Great to see all the different loco types together to..

[gothamrat]

Wow. That is one long train!

We get pretty long coal trains here in Indiana but not this long.

Sweet!

[CSX2665]

@gothamrat coal trains r boring as hell,especially long ones,no offense

[raymondleeleggs]

Chessie cat!

[bitterman112]

I sure wish there're long manifests like that where I live! All I get are short juice trains by Tropicana in Bradenton, FL! Great Post!

Nice seeing "Chessie" on the old covered

hopper car, don't see the cat that much

anymore.

[bubba2781]

Thanks, the strange part is that covered hoppers are the only types I still see Chessie logos.

[trainboi21]

[insaneman3000]

Reminds me of the 165-car freight I saw in Plant City pulled by 2 engines. Nice video.
