Where were the coal cars headed back to?

@generationll Probably headed into the yard, then they will come back west to the point the video was made, and take the track that cuts off to the left and head south. Lots of mines where loading down that way. Thanks for watching...

Just a compliment on your technical skills. Great shootin', Jack! You were doing great catches with what you had to work with and your transfers to digital are amazing. So good after all these years... THANKS!

[1jackdk]

@ThLuckyOne Thanks Luckyone. We did the best we could! Still behind times though! Haven't gone HD yet. But may be coming soon. Only thing is that all the good stuff is gone. Thanks for watching...

chessie system, conrail, and santa fe were my 3 favorite railroads growing up and still are love the video i think csx really needs to consider building heritage units

[iusetano]

I have no comment. I'm just totally enjoying your videos. Excellent Jack.

[1jackdk]

@iusetano Glad you are enjoy them, and thanks for watching...

Great shooting location. Too bad they took down the bridge.

[1jackdk]

@bluecomet390 I agree! It was a GREAT spot. It may have been getting to be a hazard, as the deck was wood, if I recall. Thanks for watching...

Cool Video!

Walkway bridge is long gone. Bad. I blame the lawyers. I long for the good old days you could do things that are considered too risky today. When I was a kid I once released the brakes on a string of box cars and went for a ride--could have turned out bad but it didn't.

[UPDetector]

Man those good old kittens of the Chessie System sure had there purr back in the day. Awesome catches Jack

[pennsouprod]

[supertouring]

Awsome you got some Westend stuff, very nice.

[MUEagle2002]

Neat!! I'd buy you a beer if you have any Milwaukee Road or Burlington Northern ;-)

[1jackdk]

@MUEagle2002 Got some BN stuff already up. Milwaukee Road? Pictures only, no video. NO BEER FOR ME!!! LOL Thanks for watching...
