Remarks: One of CSX's newest ES44ACs leads empty hopper train E254 westbound on the NS Appalachia District.
First clip: just east of Boone siding
Second clip: Speers Ferry
Where else can you still have a "Car Hop" come out and give you "Curb Service" to take your food order in the 21st Century, while you sit in the parking lot of the Restaurant in your Vehicle and watch trains go by? The Hob Nob of course!
Not only visually interesting...I also really enjoyed the sound of the horn echoing in the hills, something one doesn't get here in the Vegas Valley, where I live. Nicely done Chris.
Excellent clip. Reminds me of when I occasionally chase CP on the Sunbury Line outside of Scranton, PA. Love the horn on the engine too... sounds like a K5HA.

Man, I chased a CP train on the Sunbury Line about a month ago with my buddy who lives in the Pittston area, and I couldn't believe how much FUN it was! Haha, we finally got overtaken at Tunkhannock though. But Chris this vid looks great, what are you using? Quality looks better than the average handycam haha.
