Re: NS Peavine talk
Them signals in Sardinia are not new. They have been up since NS ran the line. WhAt I was told NS installed them not long before they cut the line. Was installed because lighting hit the old ones.

Oh, I didn't know that. That would explain why the one signal looked so bad.

Re: NS Peavine talk
Most have been shot at and the lights have been shot out. Several signals have been taken, control boxes the wires have been vandalized, any cooper is now gone of course. Nothing last long out east that is not secured or even if it is people take it. A year ago the CCET said people were shooting a moving trains in Newtown on the outskirts.

Re: NS Peavine talk
Talked to the boys at NS it appears that the CCET is starting to move rock from Plum Run to the transloader on Roundbottom. Saw some flat cars on the siding last week. The NS engineer stopped on the end of the rail east to pick up food at McDonalds said that they delivered flat cars most likely to load large rock from out east. Plenty of rock hoppers were down on the siding last week as well.
The CCET has picked up two powers a few weeks ago looks plenty of activity on the Peavine just like old times.

Re: NS Peavine talk
Just watched a video on Facebook today from Jaw Tooth that showed the second load of stone coming out of Plum Run to Roundbottom Road Transloader site. Over 25 cars loaded with rock. Guess this is going to be a weekly move for the rest of the summer and fall. Good solid business for the CCET moving forward.

Re: NS Peavine talk
Watched JT's first video that had 12 loads. He said they are being emptied off the main line. Does anyone know where?

Re: NS Peavine talk
The E&LS employees don't care for a certain person who videos their trains

Re: NS Peavine talk
And having seen videos from both, I don't care for either.
YouTube has become the primary source of income for many.
Sensationalizing and controversy attracts more viewers which increases their ad revenue sharing from YT.

Oh yes they def don’t like him. Anyone that shines a light on things you’d rather keep in the dark or sensationalizes things that are normal occurrences can get under the skin of employees and corporations.

Re: NS Peavine talk
You can literally record a train, post it there and they will come. That being said why anyone would get weird about it and try to stir the pot is beyond me.

Because it's all about the clicks. Asselin, Jaw Tooth etc... monetize themselves enough that I don't think either has full time job. Well, maybe Jaw Tooth might. Asselin has global reach which is wild to think about.

Re: NS Peavine talk
What in gods name could they possibly post about to get clicks like that? Never heard of either person and wouldn’t know how to find them on there unless those are their channel names.LansingRailFan wrote: ↑Fri Apr 30, 2021 4:32 pmBecause it's all about the clicks.

Re: NS Peavine talk
First of all Brian and others have video of the CCET and other railroads on Facebook as well it's not all about You Tube. I have seen railfans post video on the I&O, NS, CSX on You Tube as well. So not sure why some of you guys are so down on Brian and the CCET. I thought this site was to support railroads not to dish rail fans? If you don't want to watch the CCET on You Tube then watch it on Facebook or don't watch it at all. Same about the I&O. I watch the I&O videos on Facebook and enjoy watching them.

Re: NS Peavine talk
It's not about watching versus not watching. It's about "content producers" who go to unnecessary lengths to get views who end up portraying either themselves and/or their subjects in a bad light.northstar16 wrote: ↑Sun May 02, 2021 2:43 pmFirst of all Brian and others have video of the CCET and other railroads on Facebook as well it's not all about You Tube.

That video Lansing linked is a good example of this: Asselin posts a video of a train rolling over a rough stretch on the EL&S and gets over 200k views on it, loads of comments criticizing the infrastructure and how "bad" the company is, how the govt should step in, etc. The uploader gets paid from the great viewership, and the RR gets bad PR, when in reality we do not know the whole context. Is this poor segment of track known to the RR and its maintainers? Are slow orders in place? Might there even be a work window scheduled soon to repair? No one knows this except the RR, but it in the end it doesn't matter, and the damage is done. Is there a reason something like this needs to be published by a "railfan" on a large platform other than views? No, not really IMO.
I don't know the deal with JawTooth and the CCET, and frankly I don't really care, but if he has published similar videos it wouldn't surprise me that is why he has drawn the ire of employees there.
