The old coal trains are what essentially built America. My neighbors house still heats with coal. During the "Great Recession" it cost him only 500.00 for 5 tons and my oil bill was over 3,000 bucks. I asked my neighbor, why are we stuck buying imported oil when we live on the biggest coal reserves in the world. He just and grinned and said one word, "Obama".

This was the stomping ground for the Virginian Railways AG Class 2-6-6-6 locomotives. They were copies of the C&O's Alleghenies. I have seen film of them running further east (between Altavista - Victoria - Sewells Point) but this stretch is in such a remote area (even still today) that I have never seen a photo along this section of the line. The N&W got far more coverage than the Virginian by virtue of the fact that it was nearly the last railroad to dieselize and rail photographers from everywhere descended on the N&W as the end became evident The Virginian dropped its fires in 1955.

Glad to know I'm not the only railroad nerd that watches AND is entertained by these videos. Anybody know where some of these stretches of track are? I'm pretty sure it's a NS locomotive and since it's a coal train and based on the terrain my best guess is the Appalachians maybe West Virginia/Virginia/Tennessee? That's the best I could come up with. So basically I have no f***ing clue where this f***in train is 😂

This is a NS locomotive, probably a coal train out of Bluefield WV. Video begins in the South yard in Roanoke Virginia headed east through Altavista to Crewe Virginia. The destination is probably Lamberts point.
