This is the old B&O West End between Grafton and Keyser, West Virginia. Moving freight up and over this line means trains must work hard: Catch manifests R316 and R317 on their knees on the steep grades of Cheat River, Cranberry, 17 Mile and Newburgh. See coal trains, usually with helpers, slowly meet the challenge. There are mostly older, 4 axle power on the trains, with some newer SD50s, with few wide cabs in evidence. Also catch several varieties of CSX paint, plus Chessie, Family Lines and the Seaboard System.

  1. Dan

    Mountain grades, heavy trains and great scenery … that’s the West End. This program is now more than 25 years old, and it’s a nice look back at locomotives from a generation ago … many of them still wearing the colors of CSX’s predecessor railroads. Videography is nicely done, camera locations are well chosen, and the sound of hard-working locomotives struggling to pull heavy coal trains up the mountain is impressive. A nice addition to any collection.

    This is your typical mountain railroad video. Made in 1994, so the power is older than we are used to now. Heavy coal trains moving slowly working to climb the grades. Likely the best part is the paint schemes from the fallen flags are still making appearances. Nothing really special though.

    Nice video with older paint jobs still around
