Loaded Coal Train Crosses Giant Bridge With Me On It! Thurmond West Virginia Trains, RJ Corman & CSX

Описание: On A Bridge While Heavy Coal Train Passes! RJ Corman Railroad Coal Train With CSX Locomotives Pulls Into Thurmond West Virginia Ghost Town! The locomotives are running backward coming off the Pax railroad spur and entering the interchange with the CSX main line. The awesome railroad crossing next to the historic train station has several tracks and is at one end of the big bridge over New River. Amtrak stops at this station while making 3 round trips a week.
First we drive next to the coal train coming down the Pax branch. I got in front of it and drove over the bridge that we will have a closer look at. Then I walked out on the narrow bridge and filmed the train coming across it. The whole bridge shook when the train stopped on it. The train stopped before coming onto the CSX interchange track. I got in front of the train again to watch it pass the railroad crossing next to the old train station. This train station is famous for being in the movie "Matewan". I recommend that movie. We also get to see a classic dwarf signal in use as the train passes it.
We then see the RJ Corman crew get in their red truck and head back to their office. The locomotives that pulled the train off the branch are then seen coming east back into Thurmond after leaving the coal cars on a siding just west of town. Then they pass me again and tie back onto their train and wait for it to head east to the customer. The old coaling tower was built in 1922 by Fairbanks Morse and was used for loading coal onto steam locomotives. It was used for a little over 35 years or so. The best frequency for RJ Corman here is 160.845 and the best frequencies here for CSX are 160.230, 160.320 and 542.9375 for the EOT device. One thing I learned by experience is to never stand to close to a fast moving coal train. Here is a video that I made in Ironton, Ohio showing what happens:    • This Is What Happens When You Stand Too Cl...
