Click to enlargeNote: Cover image may differ from actual product
CSX coal trains on the New River Sub, deep in West Virginia. We start our visit at Hinton, then follow the tracks through Prince, with it's Art Deco depot, over the mountain to Thurmond, and along the gorge to Montgomery. You'll see the trains far below from the overlooks, and up close and personal from trackside. We visit the big bridges at Cunard and Hawks Nest, and catch the Gauley shifter with it's caboose. UP makes an appearance, together with Amtrak's Cardinal, a number of lease units and brand new SD70ACe's. R.J. Corman now operates the Loup Creek branch from Thurmond, and we catch bright red geeps in the highly scenic valley. Narration On/Off feature!

Ever ride Amtrak's Cardinal? Brings back memories, only more scenic from the many trackside and 'high up' shots! Great for any CSX fan!

Interesting in a word. Beautiful scenery, and really well noted when high above the railroad from the scenic lookout. Plenty of heavy weight trains pulling loads of coal. The lease units add to the look of the CSX, espescially when the UP enters the picture. Also good that RJ Corman was included in this video. I do think though that my favorite scene was the train approaching in the darkness. Nice film work.

As a fan of the C&O, I was extremely pleased with this video. Motive power variety includes, D8-40Cs, Gevos, SD70MACs, SD70ACes and leased power from HLCX and CEFX. A MOW gang is also included in the action. You'll see RJ Corman on the Loup Creek Sub before the tunnel motors where brought in. The action in Thurmond was great too! 5/5
Additional remarks by Chase Freeman: Narration CAN be turned off in special features. Would kids enjoy this?Maybe. Image quality:Excellent! DVD Value:Excellent Value! Recommend to others?A "Must Have"!
