Brings back some childhood memories, watching trains being made up at the N&W coal yards in Norfolk, watching the jeeps push cars over the hump and watching the engines make up trains at the C&O yards in Newport News. Of course, in those days, you got to see a lot of steam. Miss those old Baldwins. Still a train fan at 83. Never too old to enjoy trains. Liked the video.

They still have a Baldwin diesel operating in regular service in South Jersey for SMS Rail Services, at the Pureland Industrial Park. It is in great shape & has it's original Pennsylvania Railroad paint job redone, too. Very unique & nice to see that someone at SMS was willing to put the time & effort into it. You should be able to see videos of it here on RU-vid. Search "Baldwin Pureland", and I'm sure you'll find results for it....

Always love the “Whoop” sound that a train makes when their dynamic braking system is engaged. Great video Rowan, love how we can hear the interaction between the conductor and the engineer on the radio. Switching videos are so much cooler than watching a load of freight cars go by.

@Dr_Won_Hung_Lo
@Dr_Won_Hung_Lo 2 года назад
Yes, that "whoop" noise you hear is the air compressor motor kicking on. It has absolutely nothing to do with the dynamic braking system which uses the traction motors as generators to run the electrical current they produced through a grid that will back up the current and prevent the traction motors from spinning as fast slowing the train down. Basically the same thing as a "Jake break" on semi's but instead of air it's electricity

Loved seeing the "at work" aspect of railroading in this one. The radio comms between the cab and the conductor made it easier to understand the whole operation. BTW, couldn't help but notice the sound of the clapper on the mechanical bell near the beginning of this one. Good job as always.

Fantastic video, Rowan! I really enjoyed watching this video of the switching at the lumber company. It was interesting to see what goes into delivering freight cars to a customer. I had heard the three point safety system mentioned in other railroad videos but those videos never mentioned what the three safety points were. Thank you to telling us exactly what the engineer does to protect the switchman or conductor or other railroad employee from getting injured because the train moved. Thank you for putting this video together to document freight car deliveries and for sharing it with us!

I'm in the UK on a heritage railway. I've spent hours shunting (switching) coaches (cars) to fit some required order of the 'management' that was different from the last on they wanted. Had many problems trying to couple up Buckeyes on tight curves. Fine for slight curves or straights. Must use the phrase 'stretch' next time(-: Excellent Video Railfan Rowan.

Same thing here. When the engine departs depending on which direction it's in, it blows 3 or 2 times. 3 for backing up 2 for going forward.

@PrismRisen 3 года назад
A great tutorial on switching. I noted the one extra horse power at 7:20! Engineer has to have skills ranging from sledgehammer on speed runs to surgeon on this operation. Obviously double connected sidings are way more efficient that than a spur. Have you ever captured a look at the burned out 1759 Chapman/Beverly Mill, along Broad Run in Thoroughfare Gap? A tragedy - this historic gem was gutted by fire set by vandals..... and n. sh.. I drove by it during the fire, eastbound to work. It was about 6:00 a.m., pre-dawn, and a horrific sight. Keep up your entertaining and education work.

Switching and shunting are two very different things. Shunting refers to the electric signal the consist sends so that the DSPR can observe the block as occupied or not. At least in the northeast it does, idk about other areas.

Growing up Norfolk Southern use to switch a textile mill next to my house, they would switch it 2 to 3 times a week. Now gennessee and Wyoming switch it, but only about 2 times a month, because the textile mill is still in business, but they don't produce as much as in the days of Norfolk Southern, that was in the late 80,s early 90,s.

Over here in the UK. We used to have pick up freights. Which at nearly every station was a little yard of 3 or 4 sidings where the train would be shunted off the mainline and in to the yard. The brake van (caboose) would be uncoupled until all train making (losing or adding trucks) would be completed. All using the train engine. In the big yards like a marshalling yard. We, like yourselves had shunting engines which made trains up. These shunting locos are now over 60 years old are STILL doing what they were built for. But, on a smaller scale as shunting is now done by the train engine.These little locos were Class 08/09 and had 350hp and quite were saved for preservation. Even though they were smaller for their size. They could pull some weight and they were used on local freight transfers. Shunting at say s cement terminal is done by the train engine and we have dedicated sidings to run the locos round. At some of our power stations the train runs round a big loop so no shunting is required. Some locos run round their train in the terminal. So this requires a bit of propelling. But, once again this once off the mainline

Engineers name is Darrell Willis. Worked with him for 2 years on NS. We went into emergency once on Linden rolled back atleast 200 feet once it was all said and done. talk about a scary feeling. You can tell the conductor is new. Always release 3-Step, tell engineer where you are(riding), signal indication, direction, then clear for how many without breaking radio communication it cuts down on radio traffic for other trains in the area.

Seems like so much effort on that initial runaround. "In the old days ..." they would have just pulled up to the industry and done a flying switch to get the cars in the spur, then followed in after if switching around loads and empties was needed.

Good video! Enjoyed it. Almost enjoy a switching video more than seeing a train flying down the track! They’re all good! LOL! I’ve seen this before, but this time I just had to comment! The only thing that would have made this better (keeping in mind that most train videos are enjoyable no matter) would have been, realizing you had no control over it, a pair of ex-NW SD40’s, GP40’s, GP35’s or GP30’s!!!! LOL!

I was staying in Lynchburg on time and at the hotel there was a Norfolk southern line and I was railfanning it from my hotel room because I could see the trains from inside my room
