I was fortunate enough to get to ride this section, too, during one of the Buckwheat Festival shuttle trips. However, I have no videos to show for it. Thanks for sharing all of these...great to see, and too bad to think this is no longer "rare mileage", but "non-existent mileage".
@Engine201 We really were fortunate to have done this-now I have a vid of a railroad no longer running! It really is a shame they couldn't have kept it going! But on the bright side-they won't be abandoning CSX in our lifetimes! Still, strange chasing diesels when, up to that point, I was chasing steam! At least I got to take it for a test drive. And, yeah-Ms. Frog wouldn't miss this for anything in the world-not even a Tupperware party!

@thewvnetwork It's a shame that when railroads die they rarely come back!
