Fast Trains That Come To The Camp Site! Ferromex Locomotive On Train Coming Around The Curve! Camping By The Railroad Tracks With Trains And High Rail Truck Passing The Camp Site. Road Blocked By Tree. Coal Train Goes Through Cut In Hill, Monon Railroad Heritage Unit Leading Train Over Bridge. These Trains Are Near Falmouth, Kentucky On The Cincinnati Corbin Sub ( CC Sub ).
I camped out by CSX railroad tracks a few miles from Falmouth, Kentucky. It was a very remote area a half mile off the road and right next to the railroad. Driving back the dirt lane I found a couple of trees that fell over the road due to the remnants of Hurricane Hellene. I had two chain saws with me and cut the trees up. Not long after I got to the camping area a southbound ethanol train passed by with a Ferromex locomotive and a couple of BNSF locomotives. I think this is only the second time that I have filmed a Ferromex locomotive which comes from Mexico.
Before it got dark another southbound train passed and also a northbound coal train. After that I got a fire going and filmed a train in the dark. There were 3 more trains that passed in the dark but I didn't film them. Up to this point the line was busier than usual. Normally there are only about 3 or 4 trains every 24 hours so I was getting pretty lucky.
The next day there were fewer trains. A high rail truck went booking past and I got a southbound ethanol train and a southbound coal train. We also take a close look at the rails and check out an old tie plate.
When I was leaving I heard a train passing a defect detector heading northbound. I had just driven up the hill and locked the gate next to the road when I heard it on 161.370. I wasn't going to reopen the gate and drive back down the hill so I went to a railroad bridge that goes over the road. This was an excellent location and the train had the CSX Monon heritage unit leading it. Just minutes later it was completely dark so I was lucky it didn't come any later.
My friend Steve owns this property which is about 40 acres and has a lot of frontage along the CSX main line. This is an ex Louisville & Nashville Railway main line that used to get a lot of coal. The coal has mostly dried up but I did manage to get a couple of coal trains out of the 9 trains that passed while I was there. 3 of the night trains I didn't film because by the time I heard them I couldn't get my truck headlights on in time and be ready to film. One train in the dark is enough to film anyway. It is really awesome to get woke up by a train in the middle of the night and listen to it speeding past the camp site. They really are loud at night and you can hear them in the distance.
Don't miss the Live Action Pets and the slide show that comes from the video near the end.
