Awesome video.. Nice catch on the two trains, too!

Geez, doesn't the caboose get a lot of coal dust back there? I would think they would need respirators.

@juvmol - 'unlined' basically means as-is. Like the tunnel was a hole dug through a rock mountian and left as-is. Usually, after the tunnel is dug, a brick lining is built up against the rock surfaces, so it looks 'finished'. it's rare to see an unlined tunnel like this nowadays. Even many very old tunnels, which were unlined when first used, were upgraded and lined in the 1900's.

How long ago was this vid taken? I heavn't seen a caboose on a train for 10 years. Come to think of it, I heavn't seen a caboose on a train ever, in operation.

@KSE828 The video was taken in the spring of 2007. The NS has a lot of coal branches down on the Pokey Division, and as to make back-up moves down miles of railroad. So they used a caboose to make these moves and the conductor stays in contact with the engineer. Thanks for watching. Jackmp294...
