The spaghetti rail line : ND&W at Woodburn Indiana 

I can't give enough thumbs up for these videos. Thank You for Sharing.

Boy, do I love Indiana in the spring!!!

cool scott glad their still alive good video

THANK YOU FOR DETAIL VIDEO

Great video!

It's cool seeing them go down that has track

That engineer has a pair! I'd be scared shizless.

excellent video very nice

the rails look a little better there than some other places

This line looks better in spots. good progress from the MAW days.

They've put a lot of work into the track. Could use a lot more. Kudos nevertheless!

I'm amazed that the company allows them to travel down something that could easily derail the train.

Love that camera angle from 7:00 to 8:30 crossing the little bridge.

Awesome!

Love the car painted 'scrap do not load'. Wondering how long it will be in service, and getting loaded and unloaded. Unless there is a scrapyard on the ND&W line, suspect they got it to actually use.

That sped-up portion really shows how bad the tracks are. The locomotive is really leaning early on in that section of the video, and watching the loco and rail cars swaying like that is just a little scary. So is watching the rails flex under the weight. Yes, I know they're supposed to flex a little, but in some spots they're moving probably six inches or more. I'm honestly surprised a train hasn't derailed yet on that line.

Really enjoyed the video! I was just wondering how much improvement Pioneer has done to the line. Some of it still looks rough.

We were chasing this line 2 years ago. and seen a MoW gang getting their HighRails off at a Crossing. Stopped and chatted with them. They said that the Morning Run had a Derailment starting out at Antwerp O. When the Crew was coming back from Defiance O. they also had a Derailment. They are only suppose to roll at 6 miles an hour. if they go anything over 6 miles. then they have derails the MoW gang told us. I thought NS was Bad when I was on then

has the state removed the route 24 grade crossing yet in napoleon?

I got to say each of the 5 locomotives have a different sounding horn

Is this for real. This could derail a train

I'm surprised the engineer hasn't filed a grievance for unsafe working conditions! How does that track pass safety inspection?

2:06 The air hose smacks the crossing.

The only way to fix it is to replace every single piece of rail I hate to think how much that would cost.

What's up with the speed bumps? 😀

How are they still operating?!?!?

I can remember when the tracks that the INER runs on looked this bad under HCRC in the 1980s.....

what pound is the rail?

dam them rails look like mom's spaghetti

I thought they were fixing those tracks

Sweet

Are they at least fixing that bad track over time.

that track definitely needs some work done to it

The fast runby was obviously fake. Id love to be an engineer on a road like this!

I don't why these tea is are so fucked up but even a trespasser would not want to a ride a train on these tracks

Like railroading in a third world country.

Bad rail lines need to be repaired and upgraded, so that trains can run on them at highway speeds to compete with the trucking industry. When a rail line is neglected to the point that it gets into the shape that this one is in, trains are forced to slow to a crawl. That gives industries the incentive to turn to shipping freight by truck, and that ultimately leads to rail lines getting abandoned. Trucks beat the hell out of our highways, resulting in rutted pavement, and uneven concrete sections, which mess up a vehicle's front end alignment. More truck traffic on our highways leads to more pollution too, which contributes to global warming. Truck drivers get pushed too far, get fatigued, fall asleep at the wheel, and cause accidents. Not only does that result in property damage, injury or death, but it also causes massive traffic jams, that throw thousands of people off kilter, making them late getting where they need to go. We need to keep the freight trains running to reduce the number of trucks on our highways. A freight train, while carrying the freight of 100 trucks, only emits the pollution of four trucks. Each time I'm sitting at a railroad crossing, waiting for a train to go by, I say to myself that each car on this freight train is one less truck on our highways. REPLY
