Today on Urbex Underground I'm exploring some Locomotives & Coal cars. The trains are right in the middle of a neighborhood. This Was very cool to explore. I do plan to make a longer video next time. The Locomotives use to pull the Coal cars.

I grew up in Cumberland and still learning a lot of railroad history. I've been a railfan since I was a child. Thanks for sharing this bit of history.

The gck rr wasnt abandoned. Csx last ran trains on this line until 04-05. Afterwards gck was aquired by a private owner and serviced the paper mill in Luke, MD. When the mill closed up the gck ceased operations but i believe is still under private ownership. The line has been dormant sine 2019. It was just recently announced that the wmsr signed a long term lease agreement with the gck to operate excursion trains with the potential to move some freight (most likely coal from the near by mines). Wmsr is also acquiring the 2 diesel locomotives as well. The switcher locomotive has been sold but not moved, i believe the caboose is also privately owned and possibly for sale. Apparently wmsr is going to try to have the line back in service by Christmas.

Nice that they named the "WM" 25 the William Paschal Price. Mr. Price was shooting color slides and movies of Western Maryland steam and early diesels circa 1950 when most rail fans were still shooting black-and-white wedge shots of engines.

@@Urbex_Undergroundexploring22 The Alco S6 and the T6 were Alco's last two models of the end cab diesel switcher produced beginning in the late 1950's. They were never built in the same quantities as the Alco S1, S2 or S4 but the all time champ of S6 production was the Southern Pacific which acquired 70 of that particular model before they started dispersing them to various short lines and industrial roads all over the country in the late 1970's.

Going by the fact one side of that boxcar shows signs of repaint work on one side and fresher paint around the door area on the other,the fact the hoppers seem to have ballast residue, the posted sign on the one locomotive and the leading locomotive while weathered is in better condition for a paint job from the 60s and 70s predating the final vermillion red and white " circus " WM livery than the paint job on the other former WM unit repainted way after it left Chessie Systems/CSX service tends to make me think the stock is not so much abandoned but part if a shoestring budget museum or similarly shoestring budget scenic railway.

@evanstauffer4470 2 ай бұрын

@@flir67man84 They could jack the cars up and temporarily install roller bearing trucks for the move. Kind of labor intensive but it can be done. The ban on plain "friction" bearing trucks is primarily an AAR [American Association of Railroads] interchange rule. I believe there have been some cases where the main line carrier accepted cars or locomotives having trucks with friction bearings for short moves at restricted speed. It really depends on how friendly the connecting railroad is and how busy they are. Incidentally, the term "friction bearing" was invented by the Timken company as a marketing ploy when they first introduced roller bearings to the railroad industry - to emphasize the difference in rolling resistance between their bearings and traditional bearings.
