Southern the pig

Southern crescent 🌙

Southern 1401 Southern 630 Suda grade

the Southern merged with Norfolk Western to create Norfolk Southern... .w.

Southern was 100% better

I, also, miss the ole Southern Railway - serves the south. I run Southern Crescent on my model HO scale railroad although I model the Central of Georgia.

Southern, gives the green light to innovation

MrCzechers Well technically, the SOU is currently rebranded as Norfolk Southern, after merging the N&W’s assets into itself.

This was filmed by an impressionistic painter. Possibly a student of Monet or Morisot. The brush strokes are a tell.

Check out O Winston Link Photography.

@@JamieSmith-fz2mz funny.

Why don't you just stop whining and complaining.

Nostalgia plays a large role.

These films ain’t boring

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I model a combo of the Southern & N&W

I live between macon and augusta!

hello Eric!

@@cassidy5099 clickety-clack, clickety-clack, eat the hairy end my crack, clickety-clack !!!!

Yes people with big brains sure would encourage Jim Crow and racism lmao

@@plshelpmeawkdough dude shutup. Honestly, its disgusting that you cant appreciate a single thing from the past without someone jamming in their two cents about obvious social issues that everyone is aware were going on at the time. In this particular instance it isnt even justified. Those laws were being challenged and those issues faced when this film was being made, and it ultimately has nothing to do with what the original commentor or the film is saying. Why did you even feel the need to add this? And how can you make the moral argument that its wrong to marginalize and judge people from one group based on stereotypes, then turn around and do it yourself in the same breath. That makes you just as bad ad them, my friend.

Sadly in those days the railroads were very much racist at worse & totally indifferent to minorities at worse. I worked for the UP Shops in Omaha. Largest employer in Omaha and the best blue collar jobs in town. Great wages, protected by Union seniority. Out of 5000 employees there were exactly zero blacks or hispanics . And this was as late as 1964-1969. I think the hiring record is much better now but even by minimal 1964-1969 standards the railroad did not hire any minorities. Hardly on the cusp of social justice,

me 2...I miss Southern Railway. Back then, we considered the Locomotives like "Part of the Family" We LOVED our units and working together for the good of the SOUTHERN...Unfortunately, now, the quality has suffered and is in danger of folding. It's so SAD !!!

Thanks!

And I miss the Louisville & Nashville, the Dixie Line, The Old Reliable, The L&N. It's all CSX now too.

Don't hate on the C&O, chessie did no wrong. Her owners, on the other hand...

Oh to have been around back then to witness the rail action. Southern, Seaboard, Atlantic Coast Line (and ACL subsidies Charleston & Western Carolina and Columbia Newberry & Laurens), Clinchfield, Piedmont & Northern.....all in my stomping grounds.

clickty clack, clickty clack, SOU had odd F unit lash ups, the one here was FTA - F7B - FTA. you'd never see that on other roads.

yards are still run the exact same way today, it's just with FEWER workers... carmen still do inspect every car before any train departs, so a lot of railroading is still the exact same way it was in the past

My grandfather worked in John Sevier yard as well. Retired in the 70's

You know it. I quit my membership to TVRM over that nonsense. Their argument was/is: the engine was black in regular service. OK WELL SR President Graham Claytor had that locomotive on the active engine roster painted in Virginia Green and that color made it one of the most famous locomotives in the world. Same nonsense is killing steam preservation efforts all over especially regarding BOILERS. NEW TECH DESIGNS & MATERIALS ARE SUPERIOR and any locomotive refurbished with one of these would had decades of new life as a mainline runner, BUT OH NO< that would not be historic. I was involved with a project my uncle had involving the only restored Atlanta streetcar (Ga Power Co 948 at Branford Conn). He began the project around the time I was born (mid 60s) and all those years later was not making progress so I waded in and read him/them the riot act. TROLLEY SHOPS as well as locomotive shops were ALWAYS UPGRADING every time anything came of for rebuild and by the actual end of life many streetcars and locomotives barely resembled what they looked like when built. So you have to allow for that. All street railways and railroads always did and STILL DO. But you know, lets kill history in the name of saving it. OMG

Charles Smiley TRump made up for it by charging the Secret Service rent for their rooms and use of golf carts! Of course that means he is charging us (you and me) those rates... making money of of Us...

Trevor Allison I’ve seen a few on the CSX.

I still see them to this day not as many as it once was tho

In basements, attics and warehouses, will be found on day.

@denny11lane people that deface someone else's property wouldsteal someone else;sproperty too don't you think :(

LOL!!😂

I never noticed that until you pointed that out...It is very strange.

It's just someone in the distance. Your looking underneath the car to the field behind it and someone is walking on the other side of the field

Railway gnomes...they are everywhere - they even steal underwear!

tprdfh51 yup my family worked and lived on the saluda grade for 60 years till they retired the line. I come from a long line of switch men, brakemen, and engineers. not a one us has ever worn a pair of underwear more than once.

@reverse thrust well said reverse!

Before the federal government stepped in, they would be accommodated but in separate facilities within the train.

And Saluda Grade !
