Heavy Rock Train Working Hard On Steep Hill In Williamsburg, Ohio! Listen To These EMD Geeps Fighting Gravity As They Try To Lift A Heavy Train Up A Steep Grade. This Is The Cincinnati Eastern Railroad On The Norfolk Southern Peavine Line.
First we go to the Williamsburg hill to watch the loaded rock train come around a curve, cross a railroad crossing and continue on to Afton Yard with a train load of rock, railroad ties and an empty flat car on the rear. The train is westbound and coming back from the east end of the line. The rock comes from Hanson quarry at Plum Run, Ohio which is just east of Peebles. The raw railroad ties come from McCoy Lumber in Peebles, Ohio. The flat car was pulled out of temporary storage on the east end of the line. This train stopped at Afton Yard for the day minutes after I filmed it.
We also see the heavy welded rail up close and the Norfolk & Western Railway color position lights. Check out the pole line also.
Next, we see some very historic video that I filmed back on October 1, 2020. This is at the Sardinia Wye. Check out the locomotives and caboose that are being switched around. The caboose and GP49 are long gone. The B36-7 is out of service but the MP15DC switcher is still in use here today. The caboose was used in remote control service for a short time on rip rap trains used for maintenance of way. I have a few videos of the caboose in action but it didn't stay on the line for very long. It came from the east and wound up leaving for the west.
Don't miss the slide show at the end and Norfie doing what she always does.

Filmed Wednesday, April 24, 2024 in 1080p with 60fps. Thanks for watching!
