Welcome to the Trainscapes segment! Each week here on Geek Alabama, Trainscapes will feature train content including videos of trains and behind the scenes action of trains and locomotives. Some people have an interest in seeing trains, and we here at Geek Alabama aim to please the train lovers!
On July 20th and 21st, 2026, we chased the first ever 744 loaded coal train between Andover, VA and Plant Marshall in Sherrills Ford, NC. This video includes the chase between those two points along with interviews, music, and drone cinema mixed into the production. I knew filming this video that I had to make out extra special, and I hope that you all will find that prominent throughout the film. The video follows the first train over the newly reopened BL-Line, which runs between Bulls Gap and White Pine, TN and hasn’t saw a coal train in over 7 years.
