That would definitely cost the railroad more money when a derailment happens if they were off. The detectors are always on, but it just so happened that the hotbox developed after the train passed the west detector about 10 ish miles from the station

@@timeforbeans Thank you, who knows what could of happened if that went unnoticed!

@@class77sncb Yes they were notified, but how far afterwards they stopped I’m not too sure

@@thoroughbredrail2050 it can cause a derailment...hot axles are dangerous !

@@class77sncbOh definitely, we do not need a repeat of East Palestine. That incident was already horrible on its own

@@Jeff-fx1zy It was 6 miles east from the station

not too far i hope... NS/allan shaw cannot afford ANOTHER incident

@@25mfd This wasn’t on NS, it was on the BNSF Marceline Subdivision

@@thoroughbredrail2050 oh okay thanks for the correction... then NS is off the hook for this one lol

Doesn't have to walk back. Conductor drops of and the engineer pulls by slowly as long as it's just a hot wheel alarm. Then comes the long walk back. Track side ya gotta go by the smell. Brake shoes have a distinct odor.

@@reginald2004 *Brake shoes have a distinct odor* you know it when you smell it

There’s definitely been a change that’s for sure. I’ve always found it so unique and fascinating how the railroad used to operate during the caboose days

Now, the DISPRS hear the detector readouts, and they want to know the problem. CONDRS can get suspended if identified responsible. The ruleroads suck so bad now.

@@grandcrappy The crews can also hear the defect detectors inside the cab, but in the case of an issue caught by the detector and the crew decides to keep on chugging, then that’s when the real issue begins and most likely there will be a new job opening within the following week lol once that secret gets out

Doesn't matter. I see videos now they shove back for miles with no protection? I could never do that, could be an animal or kid playing, but today is today

@@tomp8871 The railroad is taking too many short cuts in order to be efficient, most of those short cuts leaving out the crucial part of safety.

@@KTRFP Thank you!

Good to know, I really like the sound of it

On a scale of 1 to 10, I’d give it a solid 8. That horn was a beast!

@@thoroughbredrail2050 Okay! 👍👌

Thanks! Those flatcars were carrying automobile frames to the nearby General Motors Facility

@@Yannitron The one thing I wish is that there would be more traffic, but the line recently has been getting a lot of neat action! There’s been more ACe leaders recently and HUs/Special Interest locomotives passing by too. Not to mention the amount of Wabash searchlights still present as well as the 60mph track speed!

@@Yannitron Thank you!

@@djmasterty2309 Honestly it’s such an unforgettable moment! There’s nothing like it

@@thoroughbredrail2050 I believe it. I wished I got to hear one of those in person.

@@djmasterty2309 You will at some point, there’s always time

Thank you! Head end was clocked at 60mph and seemed to maintain a constant speed as it passed

Thank you! I seem to have captured a recording of no other than the legend himself!

OMGGGGGGGG

Thank you!

LMAO

GIRL

You don’t get it 😭

Thank you! Hopefully I’ll see 4783 at some point. P5s have always been a classic favorite of mine

Same WOOOOO

They are fading LED bulbs from the 80’s or older. I don’t know the exact model or manufacturer though

They come through on a occasional basis I’d say, so like not very often. The NS line here in the video is the St. Louis District and I recorded at a road slightly east of St. Peters. Honestly, if you have Facebook I strongly encourage you to join various railfan heads up groups for the STL region. That’s my main way for finding all sorts of HUs and SI locos.

@@thoroughbredrail2050Ok, thanks

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thanks! And yeah this would make for a great catch once the power transfers over

One way to tell based on appearance is the placement of the ditch lights. If they are below the walking platform on the front of the locomotive, then those are a big indicator of a former Conrail locomotive. If ditchlights are mounted on/along the walking platform then they are mostly likely not former Conrail. Another indicator is that the #3300 number series NS SD40-2s are all ex Conrail which is another big indicator. Hopefully this helps!

@@thoroughbredrail2050 thank you so much I will definitely look put for these

@@NateHarmony-wz5gh No problem!

It’s a great location and my go-to spot as well

@@thoroughbredrail2050 I go there almost every Saturday

@@Ohiocentral1293-rf8xf Usually every time I’m in town, I make sure to get there at least a couple times in the evening

This is what happens when you let two unreliable locomotives lead a long distance passenger train 😂

I wish the IC SD70s were still common to see around. I only see them on the CN A-Trains that run here

I’m pretty sure that was me, I was on the side next to the old depot in Pesotum and then chased it up north after it went through

Yeahhh I’ve seen some recent footage. It seems like 2005 had its horn tuned a little but 2008 became worse

It was at Knoche Yard for a bit but not sure if they are still there

Amtrak is gonna regret it when they are stuck with only chargers and ALCs and they can’t even make a long distance journey

The crew was running it at its max loco speed most of the way, they were at the limit 😭

It’s the last thing I would think of leading Amtrak!! 😂

Thanks!

Thank you!!

This is how they should run it lol, forget about the chargers

You’re 100% correct! They do indeed have the new Amtrak livery

@@thoroughbredrail2050 Will this be the same for the carriages
