This video shows the trains and awesome action on CSX's Mountain Subdivision, the B&O's historic original crossing of the Alleghenies west of Cumberland, Maryland, formerly known as the West End, in April of 2005.  With manned helper districts, two manned towers, and many color position light signals still in use, this line at times looks like a relic of the 1960's.  The Mountain Sub today still handles many coal trains and one merchandise train each way and features CSX's biggest and newest power.  104 minutes.  The DVD on this program has the option of being watched with or without narration.

There are few manned pusher districts left in the eastern U. S. One of these is on Duff Mountain north of Knoxville in eastern Tennessee. This program shows over twenty-four hours of operations on Duff Mountain – CSX’s crossing in the Appalachian Mountains over the divide between the Cumberland and Tennessee River watersheds in November of 2011. Duff Mountain is on CSX’s KD Subdivision that stretches between Corbin, Kentucky, and Etowah, Tennessee. Part of CSX’s former Louisville and Nashville main line between Cincinnati and Atlanta, this busy line is near capacity with unit grain and coal trains, manifest trains including one pair that used to take the former Clinchfield to the Southeast, and a pair of priority intermodal trains in CSX’s new double digit number series.  This DVD can be watched with or without narration.

CSX’s climb up Sand Mountain as it crosses the Appalachian Mountains in northern Alabama on CSX’s S&NA North subdivision is one of only a handful of manned pusher districts left in the Eastern U. S. This program shows over twenty-four hours of action in November of 2011 on CSX’s S&NA North subdivision on and around Sand Mountain, which begins at Cullman, Alabama, fifty-two miles north of Birmingham. CSX’s S&NA North sub between Nashville and Birmingham was the busiest part of the Cincinnati to New Orleans main line of the Louisville and Nashville, and today is part of CSX’s busiest north-south traffic lane between the Midwest and Southeast. The one point one percent climb for southbounds up Sand Mountain was double tracked a decade ago and a manned pusher station was then added to assist heavy southbounds up the hill. As part of what CSX calls their Southeast Corridor, the freight train count on this line has more than tripled in the past fifty years as CSX’s other Midwest to Southeast traffic lanes are now at capacity.  This DVD can be watched with or without narration.

Russell Yard, just west of Ashland, Kentucky on the Ohio River, and 142 miles east of Cincinnati, was the heart of the former Chesapeake and Ohio. The 29 miles between Big Sandy Junction where the Big Sandy Sub diverged from the main line and headed south to the western Kentucky coal fields, and NJ Cabin where the lines to Cincinnati and Columbus divide, is still mostly triple track and was the busiest part of the C&O. Original C&O signal bridges still guide the trains on this heavy-duty section of track. Russell Terminal, the largest yard complex on the C&O system sat in the middle of that section of track. This program shows over 24 hours of heavy duty action in October 2006 between RJ Cabin at the west entrance to Russell Yard and NJ Cabin where the lines to Cincinnati and Columbus divide. This two and three track main isn’t as busy as it was in C&O days, but still handles nearly 30 trains on a good day including locals and Amtrak’s Cardinal.
