RailMoments

We've been planning this for a while, but beginning in June of 2024 we have finally begun going live from the trackside, at locations of special interest and showcasing the search for locomotives of special interest. We hope you enjoy this series! As I typed this, Mike is live right now. Here's the link!  https://youtube.com/@railmoments?si=rH87vKlGRkFwxEbG

That's two new 4k videos this week! This time it's the 2023 CSX Santa Train and its heartwarming journey through the Appalachian coal country. Join Mike for the action and Casey for the history as we understand what makes this train an 81-year tradition.  

 4k footage of the Norfolk Southern Heritage unit number 8099, the Southern, painted in the fallen flag livery of the Southern Railway Company. Enjoy seeing its return to Chattanooga, along with rare footage of the Southern (as the lead locomotive) being broken down in the DeButts classification yard -- which was formerly the Citico Yard of Southern Railway!

 Mike headed up to Cincinnati and happened to catch the Union Terminal in the midst of its Museum Day celebration. His video is replete with antique cars, fire trucks, harmony singers, and folks in period dress. We hope you enjoy this 4k video walkthrough! A history presentation from docent Dave begins at the 10:39 mark, and it's well worth watching even if you skip everything else from the fantastic Museum Day.

Mike and I have a brand-new 4k roll-up video of a Heritage Unit, the Norfolk Southern 8104 "Lehigh Valley" as it pulls five more locos behind it. Check it out!

  Here is new footage of this somber event that saddened the hearts of railfans all around the Chattanooga area. Fortunately, nobody was killed, and the two injured railroad workers were treated and released. Video

We're recording here this weekend! This photo was from today's scouting run.
