Remarks: NS 722, a loaded ECP brake-equipped coal train, struggles up the 1.8% grade at Speers Ferry with five GE ES40DCs for power. Just as the rear DP power comes into view a southbound CSX coal train on the former Clinchfield mainline passes overhead behind a pair of SD70MACs.

What are the odds? Great video!

Great luck and a cool video! That's a lot of earth being moved there.

Posted by Mark Schenking on April 11, 2008

WOW!! What a great catch.

Both are coal drags too. That's gotta make it all worth while to be in the right place at the right time like that. Thanks for sharing

Great job Chris.

Very nice video, Chris. I like the new GE ES40DC's, but they will sound much better after a couple hundred thousand miles when they get louder!

I worked for CSX for 3 years on the old Clinchfield line and only saw this once. Nice.

I like how, towards the end of the video, the CSX engines disappear, and the NS engines come into the frame. Cool video, Chris!

Great video! I like the CSX locos and the NS ES40DCs.

Posted by Trevor D. on February 4, 2009

Nice,but,, Why don't we see the whole CSX train? I'd say about 5/8ths of a great video!
