Yo, Vicosity86. In WV You might see a move of some 200 coal hoppers with 5-6 motors twisting and winding their way through the Blue Ridge mountains, But in Southern Indiana you won't . Not with those geographic features they have. Lucky you, to see such monstrosities curling through those valleys and Hollows.

Did not know coal was that popular or big up that direction. But I guess it has to be. I live in Southern Wv, its super common to see 200-300 cars behind 5-6 engines at any given time. ..Nice to see others enthused about trains as well..

@Viscosity86

many of the central indiana rail lines connect to quarries to haul crushed and block limestone these can also number in the hundreds of cars ....with the price of fuel this just makes sense.

[trainman1995]

@grallionsstar allmost all roads use more than on type of horn espceally if they have a mix of diferent units

The rail yards must be massive there.

We have a length limit of 71 slu's, 1,491 feet.

@TheWakieKid

It's not uncommon to see trains of 100-150 cars, many of them longer cars than these coal hoppers. Indeed, American rail yards can be huge!

Is this along the old Milwaukee line that INRD bought from Canadian Pacific?

[CGshortman12]

[ConrailSD70MAC]

Is there any lights or gates at that railway crossing? I only saw crossbucks.
