Elevated and Empty: CSX Empty coal Train in RVA
AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :
Despite ongoing declines due to the closures of coal-fired power plants, the transportation of coal remains one of the most vital functions of the USA's freight rail system. As recently as 2022, the black (or sometimes brown) mineral accounted for nearly 30% of the USA's rail car loadings, far more than any other commodity. In this drone video by ReconFiveMedia, you'll get an aerial view of an empty coal train operated by rail giant CSX Transportation making its way through the city of Richmond, Virginia.

I challenged myself to try to make an empty coal train video filmed from a drone try to look interesting. How did I do?
