Concrete Ties

 They're replacing the concrete ties on the CSX line in Chattanooga. According to our sources, maintenance costs to maintain warranty coverage had exceeded expectations, so they are being removed and wooden ties are going back in. Here's a close-up of the brand that is coming out and is currently piled beside the main line.

We Made a New Feature!

 Yes, we have been making a LOT of Trackside Live videos lately (Mike has been live four days in a row making something like 10 separate videos), but we are still working away in the studio as well. Here's our latest video, that premiered to our subscribers this evening. It's Double-Header Steam running from Chattanooga, TN to Summerville, GA on one of TVRM's excursion trains. Enjoy the action including drone footage and great sound!

A New Walkthrough of Cincinnati Union Terminal

 Mike headed up to Cincinnati and happened to catch the Union Terminal in the midst of its Museum Day celebration. His video is replete with antique cars, fire trucks, harmony singers, and folks in period dress. We hope you enjoy this 4k video walkthrough! A history presentation from docent Dave begins at the 10:39 mark, and it's well worth watching even if you skip everything else from the fantastic Museum Day.
