NS on D&H in New York, August, 2010
Просмотров 72Год назад
In August, 2010, I was traveling through New York and decided to take some time to film some trains on what was still CP's Delaware & Hudson mainline between Albany and Binghamton. I wasn't disappointed by the volume of traffic along the line but there wasn't a single Canadian Pacific train to be found. It's no wonder that just a few years later, all of the D&H south of Albany would become part...

Classic 1990 trains: An Evening at Lenox Tower
Просмотров 98Год назад
Spend an evening at Lennox tower in the St. Louis suburb of Mitchell, Illinois in 1990.
Green markers! You're a scheduled train!
It's been so long, this was the railroad the year before I joined in first grade....
Hi Aaron, I have finally found a CSX train in New Jersey! It had a NORFORK SOUTHERN engine. I saw that train yesterday. I'm SO excited! Cory Mears
Hi Aaron, this is an amazing video! I love it! You are so lucky. I never get to see CSX, BNSF, or UNION PACIFIC.😰 that's very disappointing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@black5videoThank you. Keep up the great work.

Cp rail has 3 or 4 of these on there Winnipeg yard.
Does It Have A Far-Right And Far-Left Wing?!!
Has the warranty expired yet? 😎
Possibly.
There is one of these in the Railroad Museum in Pine Bluff, Arkansas.
Would like to see a video of this plow in action.
Should wash widows
Love seeing that old plow, I see it every day at the rail yard when I fill my oil truck, would love to see it in action
I worked with these type of plows as brakeman & later Conductor on CP during my 37 years there. I've been retired 14 years. Ontario Southland Railway still uses them & there are films on here showing them on the same branchlines that I used to work on. We also used them to plow the main track to Guelph Jct on the CP Galt Sub. At Guelph Jct the single track ended & double track began. There was a double track plow there built by CP in 1915. It threw all the snow to the right. We'd plow to Streetsville, go around the wye & plow up the other track, then grab the regular plow & clear snow back to London, ON. On one occasion the plow foreman dropped the "nose" too soon & it hit the crossing planks and derailed the front trucks of the plow. You couldn't see anything in the caboose when the snow was heavy, I heard him blow for the crossing then saw the air go into emergency. When we finally stopped, I looked out the cupola window and saw the plow leaning left with its right front wheels riding the left rail. Thanks for showing this video, it brought back some memories.
Thanks for sharing! How long did that run take, Guelph Jct to Streetsville then back to London? How fast did you go? (spose that might depend on how much snow)
@@runner3033 We usually were called for a few days on those jobs. This was before Canada had a 12 hour limit. We would plow the lines to St Thomas, Port Burwell & St. Mary's on the first day, then stay at a motel in Woodstock. The last day we would plow east to Guelph Jct & switch to the double track plow. Back at the Jct after coming up the westward track, we would pick up the single track plow & head west to London. We usually did sidings too along the way. Each of these days usually started around 0600 (^am) and we would book off sometime around 2200 (10PM). Our nickname for snow was 'white gold". We made a lot of money on those jobs. Now there is hardly any snow & I'm long gone from the railroad game..
@@rjb5847 Yeah, I remember that part of SW Ontario being pretty wild with the snow at times back then. White gold indeed - some nice OT bucks there for sure. Thanks for sharing.
So were there any self-propelled Wedge Plows ever? And were there ever any driven by Steam?
None that I'm aware of.
Okay thanks, appreciate it.@@black5video
At first I wondered why the wings are in a scoop configuration but I see the caught snow in the scoop creates a bigger wedge which forces the snow farther away from the tracks. ....... if I have that right.
You have that right.
Our goal on CP, especially if plowing in southern Ontario, was to shoot the snow beyond the right of way fence. It's different in the mountains though, they usually plow at low speeds.
Thanks guys. Appreciate the feedback.
3 antiques here, a snow plow, scott and black 5 videos
I loved going out on plow & spreader jobs. We had a plow like that and a air operated spreader. Some cold mornings it took forever to get the air up. especially when it was minus 50.
How cool
That's it?
wings out, wings in that's the song this snowplow sings wings out, wings in it's the hundred year snowplow king
Funny you mention that. At the time I worked many of the plows, I was on the Conductor's Spareboard. That sparerboard was often referred to as "The King Board", I suppose because you made a lot of money working it. One of the spare brakeman gave me the nickname "the snowplow king", because I was on so many plows whether on the Woodstock branches or the Goderich line.
how long were they running without lights
Not that long.
Excellent video thanks for sharing 👍
Music is distracting
Gee, I think I could do that.
Lmao
Test tomorrow afternoon at 1.
@@jimc5694 😆
The skill isn't in how to move the wings and flanger. It's knowing when to move them and what to do when they don't move.
Marx guy here, I be flabbergasted.
Well? Let's go plow some snow already!
I take it the compressed air comes from the locomotive pushing the snowplow. Years ago, there used to be wedge snowplows mounted on steam locomotive tenders in Columbus, Nebraska and Montevideo, Minnesota.
I know for a fact that the Columbus plow is now up in Norfolk Nebraska along with an EX. CNW Jordan Plow.
Self-Propelled and steam-driven with fitted tenders?
@@Yamauma-No.10 No these plows would have been pushed by a locomotive. They were made from old steam locomotive tenders.
The compressed air came from the signal line hose on the locomotive. That's the line next to the main brake line. That kept the big air tanks in the plow filled for nose, wing & horn use.
cool! first time seeing the moving parts of a standard plow 😃
These plows are a bit different than the Russel plows. On Russells the "flange" between the rail is usually ahead of the rear truck. On these CP plows, the nose drops down at the front. The beauty of that arraignment is that the snow skinned out from between the rails is then channeled up the front of the plow & sent further away for the track. Sometimes we ran these plows on CP for the sole purpose of taking the packed snow out from between the rails. That snow would act like retarders on a hump & slow trains trying to climb grades. In that situation the plow had to come out sometimes , even if the overall snow accumulation was small.
Excellent video. Always enjoy any railfanning in the State of Vermont, such a beautiful place. Why did the train pause and then slow way down as it entered into St. Johnsbury?
The power was out, and the crossing signals weren't working, so they had to flag it.
Always love the short cantilever at dam road
They need to work on their use of hand signals. Also the yelling out of distances to coupling is not an industry recognized or safe practice. I would also point out at 17:48, when the trainman stepped off the moving coach and onto the platform, he was putting his safety in jeopardy. He should have either stayed on the cut or never got on. At 20:48 the same trainman is riding he car , not facing the equipment and only maintaining two points of contact. Unfortunately a lot of railroad museum operations lack the basic understanding of proper operations. Most of them think they know everything and reluctant to get guidance from professionals.
This was filmed in 2007 and may not reflect the way the do things now.
buddy you're not a hero pointing out how they do theyre job half of american's railroads run this way and there isnt shit you can do about it
@@NortheastCorridorFilms I am hero. These rookie railroaders need to be called out on their dangerous behavior.

It's pretty remarkable seeing how much the museum has changed since this video was made! Great place to volunteer.
What the kloke locomotive works built the steam locomotives replicas for the Sandy River railroad?
great video, beautiful scenery and unique trains. greetings from Indonesia
Been here before!
Leslie and I want to go to this railroad so bad! I personally love 24” gauge! Nice video!
At the moment, it is out of print. It may return at some point but I don't have a definite date.
