A Railroad Resurrection: Hunting for Norfolk Southern SD70M-2s in 2023!
NON-NARRATED VERSION: ruclips.net/video/y66CSE1qi_A/видео.html
In early 2023, Norfolk Southern began reactivating their remaining mothballed fleet of SD70M-2s, much to my (and many others) surprise. Hop along for the ride as we chase a few of these reactivated locomotives in local service across Northwest Indiana!
Thanks for watching!

The Hottest Train On Earth: Molten Steel Trains Across Chicagoland #steelmilltrains
Просмотров 114 тыс.9 месяцев назад
Ever since I began taking video seriously in May of 2022, the one thing I've wanted to cover the most (by far!) were Norfolk Southern's bottle trains between the steel plants at East Chicago and Riverdale. I touched on these briefly in my IHB East End video (...if you're new here, I'd highly advise watching that first for additional context to the layout of the railroad, etc.), but didn't get t...

Another trip around the sun is nearly over, so here's some obligatory Christmas cheer for all of my subscribers. I came back to uploading on this channel earlier with the hopes of sharing one or two videos about the railroads I love, and the responses I've received have meant the world and back to me, beyond blowing out my wildest expectations. Thanks to each and every one of you who have watch...

Taking a bit of a different approach to the the second part of the South Shore Line series. In this video, we explore the South Shore between Gary and Michigan City... all during the Double Track NWI project. Primarily filmed during the early summer of 2023, we follow numerous diesel-led trains through deenergized construction zones as we work our way east, and make a few stops to take a look a...

Come along for the ride as we follow the hard working EMDs and extremely heavy trains of Genesee and Wyoming's only railroad to Chicago - the Chicago, Fort Wayne and Eastern! Throughout this video, we follow numerous CF&E manifests across Lake County and into Illinois (a distance of roughly 20 miles) as they traverse the extreme west end of their own mainline, as well as the rails of the CSX an...
The Roller Coaster Railroad: Freight Trains on the South Shore Line
Просмотров 4,5 тыс.Год назад
In this video presentation, we follow the the South Shore Line in search of hard working Traction Orange GP38-2s plying the rails of America's Last Interurban. We'll see lots of steel traffic, loaded coal trains, and other heavy trains as they navigate the extreme grades and curves only found on the South Shore. On my last project, it was suggested that I include a map of the railroad as we fol...
Don't Blow Up! Serious Locomotive Issues on a Loaded Norfolk Southern Train
Просмотров 143 тыс.Год назад
Anyone remember Alco?? A recently reactivated EMD SD70M-2 and aging GP38-2 are trying their best to get this heavy steel train up to track speed. I am no diesel mechanic, but the amount of smoke billowing out of the geep's exhaust was extremely alarming. Perhaps someone in the comments will have a better idea of the cause... Thanks for watching!
Tales from the Branch Line: Big CSX GE Meanders Down Disused Track
Просмотров 13 тыс.Год назад
Though regular use only ended roughly five years ago, and occasional use still exists today, the tracks along CSX's Whiting Spur have fallen into a rather depressing state as of late. Ties warping and slowly sinking, several missing spikes, and joint bars on the verge of wiggling completely out of place have certainly created less than desirable track conditions, especially for six axle motors....

As previously stated, the response to my IHB tour video has beyond exceeded all of my wildest expectations. During the editing stage of the project, I made the decision to cut many of the videos, to both make the video more concise (unlike this description lol!), and get rid of shots I felt weren't up to the standards of quality I'd like to hold myself to. In this unnarrated B Roll are a few of...

enters IL...the land of high taxes and gas prices....😂
It’s been brought to my attention that, at some point in the video, I incorrectly state Riverdale is East of East Chicago, while it is, in fact, west. The rest of the video alludes to this but there’s the correction. Thanks for your continued viewing and support!
Riverdale is 14 miles west of East Chicago, not east. Goo captures. Hate that the pedestrian bridge is on borrowed time.
@@mkmcclure Correct. I had noticed that error just about as soon as I had rendered this video. This thing took over 7 hours to export so it wasnt practical for me to redo it. And yes, isn’t it a shame about the 502 bridge? Driving by it a few days ago on Cline, it’s now been condemned entirely…
We call them cigar cars❤
Im a machinist for IHB so i work on these engines everyday. Its alot of fun but like everything it has its ups and downs
Correction: 2022 is a GENSET not a Road Slug
Incorrect. IHB 2020-2022 were built as Gensets, but gutted of their engines and redelivered as mated pairs with the 4020-4022 in 2020.
beautiful video with sufficient explanation, very interesting! My brother has been working here in the Netherlands in the port for years, at the Blast furnaces (Tata Steel) one of Europe's largest steel producers. Greetings from the Netherlands
Thank you very much, very cool! It never fails to amaze me how far of a worldwide reach you can have here on RUclips. Thanks again for watching!
The south shore should come to Indianapolis
Not wanting your phone dumb but I don't understand why they gotta transfer steel.I don't get it.Can somebody enlighten me here.
Awesome ..like the IHB colors and switchers. Saw many CSX coal hoppers in and around WV like (13:43) 834483 with this little figure on many of them in 2024.
🔥 (literally)
and by the way,they make those cars and repair them in Niles Ohio.i hauled parts thereb also,the last car I seen a couple of years back was a u.s.s steel 1
this first SC-44, 4626, appears to be getting retrofitted with an ALC-42 nose cone at PLS right now. Not sure how much longer it'll be there, but it should be interesting when it gets released!
Phenomenal video - a fantastic resource for Chicago modelers.
“… smoking fit for Russia, just like a 3te10U…”
Electrification ???
Usually low HP locomotives have to be isolated when in trail behind a high HP six axle unit.
Just Burning off some Carbon.
Thanks!
So cool!
Love the Chicago South Shore South Bend Railroad.
Excellent Video
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed!
A Well painted fleet, especially a short line really is a treat. Harbor Belt isn't a big railroad, but I commend attention to livery preservation
Great catches and awesome video
Thank you very much!
Hi, great video and thanks for posting. I hope that GP38 was ok, after that work-out.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed. Happy to report the 5624 is still kicking, alive and well!
I’m not an expert but it’s a blown turbo that would cause the engine to smoke like that. Sometimes it’ll catch on fire
Another great video!!
Two months late to replying, but as always I greatly appreciate it Ryan, thanks!
Excuse me, please let me know. Is the famous South Shore Railroad Line road track gone?
@LoovesJf: Only the street running tracks are gone. First street running elimination was September 16, 1956 in East Chicago Indiana, the second the street running in downtown South Bend IN on July 7 1970, and finally in Michigan City IN on February 27 2023. Now this RAILROAD will look more like SEPTA REGIONAL ELECTRIC RAIL in Philadelphia. The GE 1Vs look similar to the South Shore Line's single level NIPPON SHARYNO cars .
@@albertcarello619 Thank you for the detailed information. I learned a lot about the history of the shared track. I thought the last shared track was abolished last year. I wanted to go to the famous 11th Street station. I'm also very impressed that the train is made in Japan. When I watched the video, I thought it looked a bit like a Tokyu train. Thank you very much for letting me know.
@@LoovesJf. You're Welcome! These trains also look very much like the SEPTA REGIONAL ELECTRIC RAIL CARS THE GE SILVERLINER IVs.
@LoovesJf:: Only the street running has been abandoned and now all tracks are on private right of way.
@@albertcarello619 I see, that's very unfortunate. 25 years ago in Japan, there was a large shared track at Inuyama-bridge on the Nagoya Railroad near Nagoya city, where large express trains and diesel railcars also ran. So I’d like to watch THE GE SILVER LINER IVs. Thank you so much for your very rare information!
Christ that poor GP38-2! I have never seen one dying that hard lmao. Also I'd been wondering about that seemingly random SD70 being put on local trains, 2661 kept throwing me for a loop for a while because of it's P5. I remember poking my head out of the break room at work and being very confused to see a big six axle heading a train long hood forward! Awesome video!
Thanks Joey! The B16s were a reliable and fun chase last year… though they’ve been running quite inconsistently as of late, unfortunately.
Outstanding video as usual.
Thank you very much Steven… sorry I’m so late to replying!
Very hot shot train ❤
Do you know when AF8 runs to New Carlisle, IN?
New Carlisle work is done by the AF3 crew. Unfortunately outside of knowing the crew assignment I'm not sure which days of the week they go east as the same job also works the Amtrak Michigan Line a few days out of the week. In any case it -should- be midmorning heading out that way, midafternoon coming back. Good luck, sorry I couldn't be more helpful! I am not as familiar with the east end of the railroad as I am the west...
Fantastic video, a work of art. I visited Chicago (amongst other places) for a railfanning trip from the UK back in 2022, and this has definitely made me fancy a return trip! Keep up the good work, I'm looking forward to seeing your next videos!
Thank you very much Tom, that means a lot! I always love reading comments from across the pond, goes to show what a unique railroad this is. And again, thank you for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed!
SSF roster is all one make/model based on your description. Makes sense as a fleet operator ya know the intricacies and can maintain consistency in knowledge to repair. Bravo South Shore Freight!!
What are those platforms for that have been added over the cabs? Very make shift modification must have a special purpose. Thnx!
Tom! Those are brackets that house Positive Train Control equipment, they have been a staple of the CSS roster for about five years now. Lots of rail photographers complain about them, but I like the look myself!
When I worked at Conrail, it was called the Belt. We took a lot of traffic off that road. Owned about 47% of it I belive.
I thought they were going to double track all the way to Michigan City IN but it doesn't look like it.
Great catches and awesome video
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed.
Beautiful Nathan P3s on those single-level South Shore Line trains!
@bobbysth6200: The Nathan P3s are on the #100 NORRISTOWN -DARBY 69 TH STREET L LINE. Those cars are BUILT BY ASEA BROWN -BOVARI. Also I think the Nathan P3s would be right at home on North Shore Line's ELECTROLINERS.
Awesome as usual!
A bit late to seeing this… but thanks (as always) Steven! Glad you liked it!
Sometime this spring i will be riding the south shore to Hudson lake do you know what css freights run in that area? If so what time should i expect to see them
