Super video JT...you "dared go into the dark", and you came out shining!! 👍 Starting out, framing with the traditional lamppost in the foreground was perfect. After you briefly wandered into the darkness, the "WOW" moment was when you swung the camera around (back) into the street lamp's glow @7:05. That second train's passing -- illuminated only by the crossing gate's red flashers was fine...@16:45, that shot of the "speed-lettered" SP autorack could have easily been taken out of a 1970's-era railfan's snapshot album. Amtrak's southbound Auto-Train performs very similar "street running" through the Carolinas, and -- believe me -- as a passenger, it's damn worth "staying up" for!!! BTW...Huma-Huma's "Hey Sailor" is the perfect nighttime soundtrack!! 👌👌
Thank you JT for staying up way beyond your bed time, to provide entertainment for all of us sitting at home with an appropriate beverage! I for one enjoy all your videos as they remind me of an awesome Amtrak vacation a few years ago.
Nice night time action! My inlaws Aussie would walk into any body of water. Lake Ontario, drainage ditch, whatever creek we hiked next to. Always giving him a bath because of it ✌️
What a great street train to capture at night... it was a long one too, as you pointed out as well. Credos to the driver who didn't want to wake the town folk with blowing the horn too much. Nice looking little town! Hey, you have the same music as X22 report has... check him out! Love the shot of the gates closing at night... it shows more of the actions they perform! Hey, that second train didn't use their horns at all as far as I could tell, just the bell? You were right about that street light... it did go out, ha and you mentioned the same! Well the pup look fully grown, now... is that right, JT? The flowers are a nice touch at the end!
This is a great video for those like me who can’t get to sleep easily. I spent my early years being lulled to sleep by trains (mostly steam hauled in the early 60s on the nearby railway, I’m from the middle of England) If a train was late or a different train ran in the dark hours, we used to ask Walt Pick the signal man (Tower Operator)what was going on.
Both DPS humming quietly like a sleeping giant! The flashing red crossing lights on that second train made me think of a ghost train because only one car at a time would come in to view. I thought it was kinda cool! But I think if you did more nighttime videos more light would be needed much like the first train.👍 Thanks Brian.
Love the dedication of Railfans and seeing them all gathered to video the trains. Always enjoy your commentary and have learned a lot listening to you JT!! Great train and nice town. Thank you!
DPU working hard! Oooo, and Kansas City Southern with an appearance! I also recorded about 6 or 7 of empty KCS autoracks this morning on my video of CN.
I enjoyed watching these two videos of trains at night, Jaw Tooth! Both trains in this video were long trains of auto racks that were loaded with vehicles. The train through Lawrenceburg, Indiana made a lot of noise as it passed. Do the CSX trains blow their horns as they go through Lawrenceburg later at night when people are sleeping? Our view of the train in Glendle, Ohio would have been improved if there had been better lighting. Thank you for staying out late to capture these trains at night.
Great to see you watching the trains at night this is really great and it is very exciting watching them especially in the area that you are in and as always great to see the pets at home and in the yard Take Care and Thank You Jaw Tooth.🤠👍🇺🇲🇺🇲:: 🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🇺🇲💨::
Nice nighttime video. I see the no horn zone with the fence in Glendale. About 2 seconds from when you said I’m in Glendale I was wondering to myself if I’d ever get to your favorite restaurant the Cock and Bull, very very uncanny. Planning on going to Ohio soon, someday I’ll get to Glendale . Hope it will still be there. Spent my first year high school in Greenhills. Things have changed a lot since then.
The platform and business lights at Lawrenceburg actually we're pretty good. While you didn't have as much light in Glendale Auto racks have fairly shiny Exteriors so the cars were still visible and you can tell whose they were. Actually since you've already shot at LaGrange one of the things that helps there is the relatively low speed. Railroading is 24 hours a day so some night photos are more than welcome. You know those dogs are always monkeying around 24 hours a day whereas Norfie tends to nap.
I like when you video night trains. It gives a different atmosphere. I know you are not slways able to find great spots to film night trains but you have done afew. Maybe you should put a play list together?
No, I think most street runners do blow the horn. I have a video of this street runner a couple years ago waking the whole town up at 7am blowing the horn continuously
Hi JT, i loved this video. Street trains are my favourite to watch & nightime put a different perspective it does seem quieter even when the horn is honked! the lighting is great too. Thanks for staying up to film it for us to enjoy! ❤😊 ps please do a nightime camp out at La Grange ! That would be awesome to watch.
Hello Jaw you show amazing videos.i agree with that.( When many railfans say that) your street running videos are also great.Ior wish you could record your videos in Miami or Augusta GA( there is street running there sir)or have someone you know that is part of VR network record those spots (of street running)for you🙂
i just started watching your videos, i always loved large trains, but not as much as you.i have two questions for you. when a train comes down the middle of the street, was the train tracks there before the town, or did the train companies figure that through the town would be the best route for the train. also does the DPU's on the train help push the cars being pulled by the maim locomotive, or are they there to pull the rest of the cars behind it
I really do like your night time videos, they are really interesting to watch and oftentimes quite colorful! Why do the railroad companies allow all that graffiti? It is such a distraction and rarely can you make out the complete word/s and it really makes the cars look ugly! Have a nice evening!
You mentioned that first train was very quiet, and tye second one didn't blow its horn at all. I wonder if that town has a horn ordinance like Lagrange KY.
