Great to see another coal train and DPU'S, the Horseshoe Pass and Amtrak, as well as your cat, dogs, rooster, chickens and the slide shows, another really great video Thank You Jaw Tooth.🤠👋😸👋🐶👋 🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🇺🇲💨
That was cool when to Goodwill and got me some DVDs that have train 🚂🚂🚃🚂🚂🚃🚃🚂🚃🚃🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚂🚂🚂 love your dog and cat just sitting watching your videos on RU-vid
Took a trip to PA and Maryland 6 years ago for our 50th anny. We were so focused on seeing Antietam, Gettysburg & Harpers Ferry, we didn't think to look for train sites. In hind sight, should have done more investigating and planning. Would love to see Horseshoe Curve. But at least we can enjoy lots of places by watching your super videos!Thanks, JT!
Great job catching the signal getting knocked down. That area is a railroad fan paradise, love the screaming occupied pusher power at the end of the train…🤘🏼!!!
Thanks for the D.D.O.T @ Pennsylvania. At "9:54" you referred to the "tunnel ", in New Zealand 🇳🇿 we would call that a "subway", thanks for ALL the interesting new material to watch.❤
@Jawtooth come film sometime in Alexandria, IN. We have a diamond and a road right beside the north/south line and a park right beside the east/west line. And I just found a flange greaser yesterday in the middle of town.
Glad to see you in Lancaster, PA . We have lots of great railroading: Main lines, short lines, small yards, Amtrak, steam! Keep up the great work, it was another excellent JT video!
You went all the way over past Lancaster. I would have just gone on to Camden and visited the Battleship New Jersey. One thing I like as much as trains (!) is naval history and I would have to go. lol That little locomotive yard there at the wye in Cresson is a maintenance yard and gas station for the helper locomotives. JT, you just gotta love those big V-16s pouring on the power. That is music. The DPUs were working hard. Thanks for taking us with y'all, JT!
'Bird-in-hand' is an old expression that comes from the early settlers to the area. Before everyone had a high-powered rifle and a handgun, they used to carry a pheasant or a wild turkey or a duck in one hand to appease angry natives or bears or Bigfoot. Many didn't know the names of the birds, so they just referred to their foul weapon as a bird. Which, obviously, to be useful, had to be ready and in the hand. I hope you are feeling better, Señor Jaws. Maybe you should go to 'Chicken-soup-in-the-tummy', Ohio to film and feel better. Gracias por tu video. RT sends, Puebla, México...
From steam locomotives and small Freight cars to some of the most advanced steam power and the new wave of diesels with freight cars not even thought of 30 years ago it will always remain Man versus the mountain
Awesome upload Jaw tooth. I always really enjoy your content. I wish more trains came through Bloomington where I live. We have the Indiana railroad that goes through my area. The yard was only a few hundred feet from my house until csx sold it and now it's called switch yard park. Your dogs are absolutely adorable
I'm sorry that you have been sick when you travel this always seems to happen but this is a great video in a state that has so much rail and rail museums and rail trails thanks for this to you Brian
Good Morning JT, 2 x 2 x 2 loaded coal train. Very nice and all units working hard. Cool shot of those manned helpers going back after helping out the loaded coal train. That's a great little spot to watch trains, especially around that curve. Great video as always Sir. Cheers from Ontario 🇨🇦
I enjoyed watching this video of the trains you caught at Cresson and Bird in Hand, Pennsylvania plus the Horseshoe Curve portion of video. That was a long coal train at the beginning of the video. The DPUs were working hard to move the train along. Were the end of train DPUs manned? Those electrified Amtrak trains were moving fast as they passed you. That long auto rack train was impressive as it filled the full panorama of Horseshoe Curve.
You have one of the best jobs in the world. If you ever make your way to the inland northwest, check out Spokane, WA. Quite a lot of trains up here. It's all BNSF and UP. Only. Few miles to the east is the BNSF fueling station in Hauser ID. Great spot to see some massive trains.
Cool, thanks for the trains from the Keystonecorridor. 109 miles/h, that would have to be just under 180 km/h. When I'm back home next week, I'll upload a video from the Hanover - Berlin race track. The speed limit is 280 km/h. Let's see if the weather god plays along. Yes, and you don't need to say anything about the Horse Shoe Curve anyway. The part is just awesome. Greetings from Berlin/ Germany. Sven
I just now realized the double stack train has trailers not rail cars that's why there's no graffiti is on them. Love the double stacks trains. Love your videos. Always interesting to watch. ❤ Do you think that NS & BNSF Locomotive was pulling hard on this curve? It sounded kind of squeaky! 😮 Cool long train .❤ love watching them. Made my day.😊Love your fur babies❤😊
That weird piece of MOW at 28:42 is a jet engine mounted on a small locomotive. They must get a lot of snow there as it is used to blow snow and ice off the switches.
Great video! That’s my neck of the woods. I live in Johnstown, PA, and work near Cresson as a park ranger at Allegheny Portage Railroad National Historic Site. Definitely a great area for rail fans!
That 2x2x2 coal train is massive! I hear it called a double coal, but I don't know if it means two customers or two deliveries or just a massive train :)
A pass and a meet; only 5 minutes in, and you didn't even have to move. Lucky. Intercourse, Fertility, Pleasureville, Blue Ball, Bird in Hand; all from the Amish.
@jawtooth the bird in hand video was of Amtrak's Keystone service. That train is cleared to run 110mph through there. There are 2 diesels a westbound train 43 around 130ish and an Eastbound train 42 around 220pm. The keystone runs between Harrisburg and New York with Philadelphia as a direction change. The Pennsylvanian train 42 and 43 run once per day between Pittsburgh and New York using Philadelphia to cut the diesel from one end and add an acs 64 to the other so it can run with a motor to New York
I enjoy it when you can make your way to West Central PA to see the world famous Horseshoe Curve, as well as Gallitzin and the railroaders museum in Altoona. The Pennsylvania Railroad did a LOT to build up Western Pennsylvania. Those trains make their way to and through Pittsburgh...there almost always seems to be a train thru Pittsburgh...NS, CSX, AVR, Amtrak, W&LE. The electrified tracks run from Harrisburg to Philadelphia and do not come close to Pittsburgh at all. The Amtraks going to Pittsburgh have to switch to diesel locomotives in Harrisburg to continue west. Pittsburgh is worth checking out to see trains. So is the CSX Keystone Corridor from Cumberland, Maryland to Pittsburgh. The Sand Patch is a great place to see the CSX trains. I enjoy seeing the little kids marvel.at the sight and sound of the trains. Great video. Take care of yourself.
JT: great video. Amtrak’s goes as fast as possible because it’s the NEC and Congress has mandated speeds in excess of 100 mph.Also brick building looks like PRR in 19th Century.
if all of our passenger service hauled like the NEC I think more people would ride trains in this country. I mean I was on an early morning Acela on a Sunday a few years ago and it was full. Sadly the NEC is the only place Amtrak really has any real control over the tracks. In some places they do share with NJ Transit and MTA Metro North I believe but all of them like to keep the trains going fast too so no real bottlenecks there.
RJ Corman actually has 2 lines that connect into the former Helper Base at Cresson. The SD40E helpers were out of Cresson and Altoona until DPUs started being implemented on the Pittsburgh Line and then they went from 20-30 SD40Es as helpers to about 8 SD70ACUs and shut down Cresson.
Wonderful train videos. You were in Mennonite/Amish country there in Lancaster county Pennsylvania, with towns named Bird-in-Hand, Intercourse and Blue Ball. You said in another video your camera got rained out while in Lancaster and Strasburg RR. I live one county west of Lancaster co, in northern York county. Did you see me wave at you as you filmed the trains? (hah)
JT great videos! I’m still amazed that only two engines can pull the two examples of intermodals you showed! That’s a lot of weight to be pulled by only two engines?
You might have been a bit late for the huge coal train there, JT but we didn't miss a thing! Fantastic to see more of the Amtrak passenger workings on the go and wow, what a pace they are doing. Makes the price of the ticket worth it, especially if some folks can get some work done on the way. The Double pass after the coal train had passed was something else too. Those Articulated Inter-Modal sets are really taking off in a big way! Nice to see the 'Banker Loco's coming back after the Coal train got up the gradient or into the yard. The Auto-Rack machines there had those loco's working really hard! I thought there'd be a second DPU in that set as the one that was there was working way harder than what we usually see. Makes a body wonder about what's all in there, but in this 'World Climate' at the moment, it's maybe best not to ask. Good to see the dawgies and Norfie in good spirit. Quite something to see the Amish girls up at the Horseshoe Curve watching the trains going by. The Buggy with the electric lights must have been a hard fact to accept for such dedicated people of God, but Safety First has to be accepted in this day and age. I hate to think why that's the case but here's hoping it wasn't a terrible accident that brought that about. I hope you're keeping well after those ticks got you in the spring there. Wishing you and all the family the best of health and a good harvest, one way or another. What a show today! Thanks Jaw Tooth. Keep safe. Cheers! (Yeah, maybe best not to be asking too many questions about some of the more military moves, if filming them at all.)
Yes Brian those Amtrak trains fly through that area. I catch them near Rheems Pa. Lancaster county. Great catches you got on this video Be on the lookout for the Homer Simpson auto rack car. Lol.
@@BeeLineEast if you pull into the parking lot like you are a “customer”, they don’t say anything! I’m a truck driver and unload corn there, sometimes distillers grain. So I get a front row seat!
@@rixxroxxk1620 Thank you i will check it out. I can't place the mill. Is that east or west of the bowling alley? They really fly fast in that area. I do most of my other train recording in Hummelstown.
I heard some time ago that the Cresson servicing facility was going to be closed. I guess they’ve moved the servicing of helper units to the Altoona facility.
You can really tell the difference between the GE/Wabtec locomotives with their distinctly loud "chugging" and the EMD/Progress Rail locomotives sounding like a louder SD40-2.
