@@thoroughbredrail2050 hell yeah. Amcrap trespassing lol.

@@MissouriRails Thank you!

@@HunterWilliams-le9bk Yeahhhhh it needs a doctor

@@HunterWilliams-le9bk They are working, the ditch light mode was accidentally set to long hood forward instead of short hood forward.

@@thoroughbredrail2050oh yeah, I forgot about that.

Thank you!

Just how it should be! Was the 1066 leading or trailing on 278?

@thoroughbredrail2050 it was a mid DPU. My 2nd HU so far.

Thank you!

@@ElliottWolcott Thanks!

@@thoroughbredrail2050No problem.

Thanks!

Oh really?! I would love to hear that in person

@@MarcelosalivaTRENESArg Thank you!

I suggest you don't

Thank you!

Always better to be safe than sorry with the railroad. What initially starts as a possible brake shoe stuck could very well turn into a much worse situation.

@@thoroughbredrail2050 pretty common

That would definitely cost the railroad more money when a derailment happens if they were off. The detectors are always on, but it just so happened that the hotbox developed after the train passed the west detector about 10 ish miles from the station

Understanding train handling is constantly setting and releasing air....the brake shoe could a became sticky at a reduction 20 seconds before

The hotbox detectors normally are looking at the axle temperature, not necessarily the wheel, however if the wheel tread temperature finally gets hot enough to get the axle hotter than the other axles, then it will notify either via the radio or detector desk. This handbrake issue isn’t really dangerous, after all while it will just ruin brake shoes and maybe some other parts as long as it’s not locked up sliding,but a hot box is really dangerous because it can burn off the axle in just a few miles.

@@vincentb893 Yeah, and that was the trickiest part trying to figure out which issue it was. There was a clear burning smell of brake shoes so it could of very well only been a handbrake left on, but at the same time it could of also been a hotbox which would be a more serious problem. Based on the smell of brake shoes I think it was most likely a handbrake left on

@@timeforbeans Thank you, who knows what could of happened if that went unnoticed!

@@class77sncb Yes they were notified, but how far afterwards they stopped I’m not too sure

@@thoroughbredrail2050 it can cause a derailment...hot axles are dangerous !

@@class77sncbOh definitely, we do not need a repeat of East Palestine. That incident was already horrible on its own

@@Jeff-fx1zy It was 6 miles east from the station

not too far i hope... NS/allan shaw cannot afford ANOTHER incident

@@25mfd This wasn’t on NS, it was on the BNSF Marceline Subdivision

@@thoroughbredrail2050 oh okay thanks for the correction... then NS is off the hook for this one lol

Doesn't have to walk back. Conductor drops of and the engineer pulls by slowly as long as it's just a hot wheel alarm. Then comes the long walk back. Track side ya gotta go by the smell. Brake shoes have a distinct odor.

@@reginald2004 *Brake shoes have a distinct odor* you know it when you smell it

There’s definitely been a change that’s for sure. I’ve always found it so unique and fascinating how the railroad used to operate during the caboose days

Now, the DISPRS hear the detector readouts, and they want to know the problem. CONDRS can get suspended if identified responsible. The ruleroads suck so bad now.

@@grandcrappy The crews can also hear the defect detectors inside the cab, but in the case of an issue caught by the detector and the crew decides to keep on chugging, then that’s when the real issue begins and most likely there will be a new job opening within the following week lol once that secret gets out

Doesn't matter. I see videos now they shove back for miles with no protection? I could never do that, could be an animal or kid playing, but today is today

@@tomp8871 The railroad is taking too many short cuts in order to be efficient, most of those short cuts leaving out the crucial part of safety.

@@KTRFP Thank you!

Good to know, I really like the sound of it

On a scale of 1 to 10, I’d give it a solid 8. That horn was a beast!

@@thoroughbredrail2050 Okay! 👍👌

That was a good K5LLA horn.

Thanks! Those flatcars were carrying automobile frames to the nearby General Motors Facility

@@Yannitron The one thing I wish is that there would be more traffic, but the line recently has been getting a lot of neat action! There’s been more ACe leaders recently and HUs/Special Interest locomotives passing by too. Not to mention the amount of Wabash searchlights still present as well as the 60mph track speed!

@@Yannitron Thank you!

@@djmasterty2309 Honestly it’s such an unforgettable moment! There’s nothing like it

@@thoroughbredrail2050 I believe it. I wished I got to hear one of those in person.

@@djmasterty2309 You will at some point, there’s always time

Thank you! Head end was clocked at 60mph and seemed to maintain a constant speed as it passed

Thank you! I seem to have captured a recording of no other than the legend himself!

OMGGGGGGGG

Thank you!

LMAO

GIRL

You don’t get it 😭

Thank you! Hopefully I’ll see 4783 at some point. P5s have always been a classic favorite of mine

Same WOOOOO

They are fading LED bulbs from the 80’s or older. I don’t know the exact model or manufacturer though
