Thanks for pointing that out! I wondered what that was and that is the first time I have ever seen that. Would that repair have been made on the mainline?
The reason the gates stayed down so long was that the very last bare table had not yet crossed the shunt. The system still detected a train there. The train was 100' too long.
I don’t know what I like the most.. the train live action (with a lot of suprises and interesting things), or the Norfy & Chessie action. Thank you very much Mr. Jaw Tooth!! 😀👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
18:12 When I was little, we had a Cocker Spaniel who liked playing with the cat. The cat explained to the dog in no uncertain terms that she didn't enjoy it, but the poor dog never quite got the message.
@@JawTooth I remember one winter it got extremely cold. My Mom had baby pigs running around the kitchen and a mother rabbit and her litter in the oven. She kept them warm and safe. I’ll always miss her.
We have found 5 cats in the last 18 years. The rest have found us!! Lost 2 dogs In 2 months. Dogs were always rescue dogs from the pound. Pets adopt people down here all the time. 🙃
Excellent catch Jawtooth! Wow, that could have been a bad situation if some of those waiting drivers had run that crossing when the other train was approaching! Good thing a rail fan was filming, thus tamping down those over eager drivers who might have had the mind to do so.
Lol one day that Kitty will say "But WAIT, there's more" love they way the woofer interacts with it. This is the interesting things about Trains, the verity of info. Like how the Drivers book on and off duty considering the distances they cover, where the Coal comes from to which Power Plant, all this sort of stuff is cool and helps you learn about the US of A!
The sound on this recording was amazing. With the traffic from the interstate bouncing off the intermodals, it was impressive. Almost like one continuous roll of thunder.
Hello again, UK in the house! You say that the train blocking the road for nearly an hour was "interesting"! I can think of some other words that the car drivers were using to describe their frustration. I understand how frustrating when a train blocks the road, but it is a real insult when the train has actually cleared the crossing and the barriers stay down. It is almost taunting the motorist to take their chances!!! Oh, good video BTW and now I have at last seen the Chattanooga Choo Choo, but suspect that it isn't the same one as in the 1940's song :)
I live close to a major train crossing and when the cross bar stays down the police will begin directing traffic through the crossbars one at a time until the railroad people get it corrected
Ahh, only a couple feet more for others. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 And I recall my lil Siouxsie the black cat she was small, enjoy while they are small, they grow up within a blink of an eye!
In South Bethlehem, Penn., when there was still a steel mill and not a Sands Casino, if a train blocked a crossing for more than 5 min. the cops would give the engineer a ticket and they meant it. I watched the cops walk up and hand the engineer a ticket when his train blocked the S. New St. crossing for 10 min. That solved that problem with the RR crossings. The street level tracks along with the steel mill are long gone and it's now a bike path, so sad.
That's why we lock the doors so they can't come up! Plus they usually have no jurisdiction on railroad property unless they're actual railroad police in which case they're not gonna issue us a ticket. Now if they caught someone out of the locomotive off the right of way then different story. They can stand down there and mean mug all they want but they're not getting up inside the cab.
@@richardlimmer9743 I was going to say the same thing.i hauled a load of coils out of there years ago.now everything is made overseas and we re screwed.
Nice live action two train catch !! That first train was going so slow at the end of it I nearly dozed listening to the slow wheels on the rails 😴. 👍 Fab video !! 👍
I wish they lived longer. Why does the tortoise live so long but dogs only get 15 years max? God should shave a few years off the the tortoise and give it to the dog.
@@JawTooth Brian, my wife has a cousin who is married to a veterinarian and i asked him years ago what to feed petie our tri-colored beagle and his exact words were “ starve him “ and it worked but sadly he passed at 17.3 years Damn dog was always hungry but we loved him and he lived indoors “ spoiled shit” is what my wife called him…..1/2 can of purina pro plan twice a day with 2 spoons of dry oats overtop on each serving….keep em thin…..😉
@@mshum538 17.3 years! Wow, that is pretty good. I will get the Purina Pro Plan. They are building a new Purina plant only about a dozen miles from us that the CCET will get to serve. Its going to be getting colder in a week or so and I will be wearing the jacket! lol. Have a great week Mike
Interesting how both NS and CSX are combining manifest and inter / multi-modal trains. Saw a combination of 80 double stacked containers and 90 loaded coal hoppers on an eastbound NS train through Roanoke. Quite an extreme contrast between "modern" and "historic" freight.
A lot of railways are doing that. I've seen BNSF and UP trains done up like that as well. They will often have a locomotive between the two combined trains. It looked weird at first! PSR.
Their precision railroading. Where is all of the rolling stock? I travel quite a bit and the yards that I roll by are all virtually empty. Everybody that I've talked to with the railroad, from signal maintainers to engineers, would not recommend hiring on.
Neat video of these two trains between Crittenden and Walton, Kentucky. That was a lot of time to tie up that crossing. I presume that the people who returned the way they came had a long detour to go where they wanted to go. I doubt that there are a lot of railroad crossing in the area. Did you notice the white hose on the double stack car that came past at 5:54? That white hose was used to by-pass a broken air line on that car. The white hose was connected to the car behind the car that the hose was hanging on and the car in front of the car with the hose in order to keep the train air available to the whole train. Also at 12:28 there was a green Chicago & North Western Railroad boxocar with CNW reporting marks appearing in the consist of the second train. Thank you for documenting these trains for us!
Hehe, the train stopped right in front of the release contact of the level crossing. Stupid run for those who had to wait at the barrier. The second train also had German containers from Hamburg Süd with it. cool. Chessie pretends that the little tiger is her own baby, thats too sweet. But that's good that Tiger has a bodyguard. Greetings from Berlin/ Germany. Sven
True railfan indeed. I'm a railfan too. You must go to places or live near the tracks that have lots of train traffic. Very fascinating. I always wondering how they separate mixed freight, oil cars, boxcars, coal cars and container trains. I would love to visit a railyard someday.
@@smoothsmith1965 don't know that area myself. Maybe somebody else will chime in for you. Otherwise, check out djstrains RU-vid channel. He's an engineer and gives a lot of insight and does drone footage.
Who knows? Maybe Norfie is just going to be a cat living in the lap of luxury like my feral Miss Midnight the Feral Queen of the Office is! I caught her just lounging around on a cat bed a few times. She did a good job raising her kittens, so she deserves this!
My old cat is a professional mouser. My new cat is a professional rabbiter, although no slouch at other rodents: took ten minutes, but she nailed the invading mouse in my attached garage. Norfie has already shown mouse prowess. Jaw Tooth has video!
Case tractors from Racine WI! 😊 Camera looks great! I dont mind if cars go past the gate if its clear that a train is sitting there but here in Wisconin there maybe an Amtrak on the other track doing 79mph. That has happened too many times.
Good made nice video, mr Jaw Tooth. What a great video two long and mixed freight trains whit problemly a tree locomotives with technical problems. Sorry that these train stopped and locked you from your pick-up truck. Greet from Zandvoort the Netherlands.
There probably is a temporary speed restriction in place due to track work. The first train should have had a dpu cut in the middle for traction and to relieve the stress on the drawbars.
Today CNBC did another piece on port congestion and container ships so this consolidation of merchandise trains comes as no surprise, we have no priority today, trains are just trains but i do see boxcars seem to be making a come back which i seem to want to think has something to do with trucker availability and the associated truckjng issues, its going to get interesting, i did my 40 years so I’ll just sit back and watch and hope my shelves do not go empty….Ms~~~
I thought she was getting MEGA HUGE for a moment when JT cut from footage of Chessie and Norfie to footage of Chessie and the black dog. Took my brain a moment to realise that Norfie hadn't suddenly become dog-sized.
