Being both a railfan and an emergency response supporter, these pieces of equipment are well worth celebrating in both these communities.
When the tones go out and there's a fire, police, EMT or other search and rescue response needed, these brave and noble heroes answer the call, sirens on and lights ablaze, to HEAD 'EM UP, AND ROLL 'EM OUT!
Here in Germany, Austria and some other European Countrys, some Fire Departments for example have also specialised fire Trucks with hi rail gear, most of them are heavy duty rescue trucks and have special Equipment on Board, while others are traditional Tanker.
Some underground stations in my country's subway/metro have trolleys folded up & stored at 1 end of the platform, that can be unfolded & placed on the track to be ridden by firefighters to rescue people from trains trapped between stations. Stationary water jets can also be mounted on trolleys on rails to put out fires in train tunnels
Being both a railfan and emergency vehicle nerd, it's so cool to see a combo of both topics, I always really liked Norfolk Southern's first responders train, it's awesome.
If I ever could I'd love to recreate or see someone recreate a Conrail Police 9C1 Chevy Caprice lol, like I've people rebuild cop cars, and railroad vehicles, but never a railroad police car.
I'm a firefighter/paramedic and this was definitely an interesting video for me. Thanks for sharing!
Nice to see something different. Hong-Kong has it own rail fire engine, Germany and Switzerland have they own fire trains, some heritage railways are making they own fire trains now
Conrail had a special semi truck trailer (CRZ 204022) designed as a bait for would-be thieves with trap doors. It would get mixed into their intermodal/trailer-on-flatcar consists of high-valve cargo (namely electronics).
those SP police LW combine cars were neat!
As a retired police sergeant and former USAF EMT and model railroader, I very much appreciate this video!
Thanks for watching!
This takes the meaning of “fire engine” to a whole new level
LOL
not much difference between a fire engine and railroad engine: instead of pumping pistons to move driving wheels the engines pumped pistons to move water out of hydrants! and in the early 1900s until the late 1920s they drove the engines as well- simply put them on rails and they’d be no different than other engines 🤣

La policía
In Northern Manitoba the RCMP members are rules trained and put there patrol cars/trucks on the Hudson Bay Railway tracks to access certain areas of the province to patrol or deal with situations. The railroad police cabooses are still in use with UP still.
This is excellent.I had no idea how much work goes into keep the trains running and safe.
As a firefighter and railfan I found this video very interesting. Well done!
I heard of fire trains but never heard of police trains. Railroads do have their own emergency forces. Those are some good looking police and fire trains and their equipment. Thanks for explaining them. :]
Thanks for watching!
@@v12productionsdid you hear about the line to Summerville being back open
Love the NS First Responders EMDs and CSX GEs,filmed a Loram rail grinder in action last year in Christiansburg VA on NS Christiansburg District, pretty neat and a manifest passed it on track 1,neat video and high rails!🛤🚂
WELL DONE BROTHER, 37 YEAR FIFHTWR HERE PITTSBURGH,PA
Wow, that is so memorable, honouring those that do/have served in the emergency services. They should do something like that here in the UK.
What cool equipment!
Thank you very much for mentioning and honoring our first responders, people are forgetting the sacrifices of 911, again, thanks
Excellant video, thanks for taking the time to put it together.
Thanks!
Awesome video! I hadn't heard about the NJT Response vehicle, and I take NJT often!
I think it would be really interesting if you did another video similar to this, but talking about rail infrastructure used by militaries for transport of equipment or any special weaponry.
several rail networks across Europe run their dedicated fire and rescue trains, like e.g. in Austria, Germany, Switzerland and Norway. They're based at lines which are difficult to reach as they're up in the mountains, go through lots of tunnels or high-speed lines which are difficult to access as well.
Some sections of track which only might have difficult access might be covered by only a single rescue car, which will be taken to the incident by a locomotive.
A lot of new information in here for me. Thanks for posting.
Something new on the tube ! Thanks !
its always a very good sign when V12 productions upload, you teach us a lot of thing, so thank you very much.
I don’t know if someone mentioned this already but the Red substance being sprayed is called Phos-Chek. It’s 85% water and 15% Fertilizer that includes Iron Oxide which gives it that red color.
Great topic, that’s awesome!
That's cool to have trains put out fires 🚒🔥 and police officers training train tracks on the tracks.
I actually saw NS 911 a few years ago as a DPU on a mixed freight train in Fort Payne, Alabama.
I saw that same heritage unit on a northbound Norfolk southern railroad manfast train it was leading
V12 productions is awesome!
Wow dude! Awesome topic!!!!
Another terrific video, Charlie!
Thanks Greg!
In the UK our police have old trains setup at training facilities to practise hostage rescue on, there's even a disused underground station in central London they hold huge exercises at [exercise Strong Tower]
CSX have a mobile swat school based on a train, some of the instructors were EX European CT experts.
there’s similar training trains used across the US including a large one in West Virginia utilizing multiple retired streetcars, subway cars, railroad passenger cars, and freight cars.
there’s one built in Boston in a disused streetcar tunnel using two retired passenger train cars and a bus…
Wow I knew about Loram and the hyrail trucks but that's about it. Awesome video, I'm going to watch it again!
Hello Charlie! Thanks for the Very Interesting video. Never seen the Southern Pacific Police Caboose. 👍🙏
Thank you!!
Awesome video!
Great Video! Never seen a Lenco Bearcat HiRailer! Very sharp! And the Fire Trains are something to see them working! 👍👍👍
Great episode!
Nice, love the high-rail Bearcat and the Pierce NJ ESU rig! your correct in saying railroad cops have real authority(basically federal powers on their properties& rights-of-way)! Thanks for the video!!
Gravine Vintage's ex-SP 2248 was once in firefighting service after it got pushed out of mainline service by larger steamers, used to have fire monitors and big steam pumps all over its boiler and tender.
So cool I've never heard of a firefighting train
Thank you for a very interesting and educational video! Keep up with the great videos!
Thanks, will do!
Cool video. Thanks for sharing. I have a SP Police caboose
Great video 👍🏻
How cool is that! I've seen the maintenance trucks on tracks, but not the other trains.
Excellent video. You have another new subscriber.
Thanks... You put together a really nice video and narrative.
I appreciate that!
Loved the ending with all the horns.
Fantastic Video!
Thanks!
Those are important jobs they risk there lives awesome videos
that Marta armored hi-railer is a B E A S T! I mirror the sentiments of hoping it's never fully needed for anything outside of charity events but if it gets called to action that thing is gonna be more than ready to take down whatever is fragging around looking to find out.
I love Georgia and Im not a native, moved here in April of 2018.
thanks that was great
Awesome video sir!
Thanks!
You did a fantastic job on this video my friend
Thanks!
Loram constantly parks in the MOW siding in my town, they’ve had a ton of MOW working that line last couple of years I figured it’d hopefully mean maintaining it so there’s an increase of traffic. So far 5/6 trains at most come through
That was fascinating, I live in Australia and I'm sure we font have any of these except the car...they'd be a great asset to our rail network
The Puffing Billy steam railway in Victoria has a firefighting trolley that does a run up the line at each end of each day.
Unique coverage🚂🚨👍🙋
Charlie, thanks for making this interesting video! Dan Page
Thanks Dan!
Nice video, as always, very informative. That was definitely worth a grand finale!
Nice video. I own one of those HO scale police cabeese :). Fun to see one here.
Hey I've got an ho scale caboose, road name (ROUTE ROCK), SIMILAR COLOR TO THIS SOUTHERN PACIFIC POLICE CABOOSE YOU JUST SHOWED, AWESOME, AWESOME, 😎👌👍
Great video full of info
Thanks!
5:45 - F no! No way does a transit police force need a fricken military style armored fighting vehicle! They are not going to war.
You would rather just give up? Make sure you call your local police department and place yourself on the ignore list so they will know not to answer 911 when you call about the bad man that wants to hurt you.
That's alot of neat equipment
GREAT VIDEO!!!
Thanks!!
@@v12productions
Dude, your stuff is awesome. Some of the most informative content on the interwebs!! I only wish your videos were just a little tiny bit longer!!! Only because I enjoy your content so much I'm looking for more. Anyway, keep up the great work from a loyal subscriber.
I got to see a rail grinder in rural Alabama many years ago. It was cool
In Germany, there are even fire-fighting vehicles that can drive on the road and on the rail. It is called emergency firefighting vehicle 24/14-S(S for rail). The duties of the emergency firefighting vehicle 24/14-S are:
-Fire-fighting; focus on tunnel installations
-Technical assistance; focus on rail vehicle accidents
Nice
@karstendoerr5378 assistance? Is that technical rescue
@@longiusaescius2537 ,Yes. You have to imagine the German HLFs as a combination of rescue vehicle and engine. So you can carry out technical rescue and firefighting with it.
@@karstendoerr5378 are the technical rescue unified organizationally with the fire department?
@@longiusaescius2537 In Germany, the fire brigade has many tasks: technical rescue, firefighting, hazardous goods, radiation protection, altitude rescue, divers. In addition to training in firefighting, I myself did hazardous goods and radiation protection.
I’m new to you I love what you do
I wondered what might’ve happened to the SP caboose after UP took over SP. I hope it’s in a museum somewhere at least.
Wow that first train is near me currently how exciting!
That red stuff is Phos Chek 4:15
5:51 imagine seeing a police car run on an elevated railway
Wow.
Futureristic.
Not sure I noticed those extra details on CSX 3194 on 911 before. Gotta say, I have a bit less respect for the former and much more for the latter. The "343" actually gave me pause. Generally fantastic video! I never would've guess police to still have full service vehicles exclusively for railroad, even if the modern examples are only Hi-Rail, and the various firefighting equipment? Incredible!
Well a couple of years ago a rail grinding train came through our area and just about every jurisdiction was responding to brush fires
That NJ Transit Truck is great, or woukd be if they were ever available when you needed them. Have seen everything from rail line brush fires to 10 alarm buildings with a side accessible only by the rails and cant think of a time they actually showed up, though can think of several requests..
The red "foam" like spray you saw then spraying of of that ES44C4 is just flame retardant.
Nice like the caboose on the trains wish they would Bring them back miss them on the trains
5:35 all blue lights, that is right choice for police vehicles.
Imagine a caboose overtaking you on the highway, yelling "THISISDAPOLICE!!! Stop, or i'll... uum... uuuh... wull-youBETTEHSTAHPanyways... PHUNK!"
I caught a Loram train on my channel a few months ago, and it made that police siren that you mentioned at me. I've got 3000 views on that video!
Very interesting.
Love your content, I want to ask you one question. How do you hear the convo of The Loco Engineer using your wakie? Just curious
4:18 the red substance is fire retardant, no different than the stuff dropped from planes during wildfires…it’s protecting the rail line and helping create a fire break should a fire reach the line
the NJT high-rail rescue isn’t for firefighting, it’s for rescue and SWAT situations.
Lol yup, Atlanta totally needs a fully armored rail car. Not a complete waste of resources at all
I just seen 3194 passing thru Valdosta ga heading to waycross ga
A lot of interesting content! I really like that tunnel at 6:18 and was wondering if anyone knows where that is.
Phos-Chek fire retardant they are always using it with the red iron to see where they sprayed it on and they use it for the wildland firefighting aircraft as well
You legit remind me of a news media
I wish the lego city people would make these. Because having a rail grinder in lego city would be Awesome
Great video and amazing information.
Thank you!
The CSX Engines 3194 and 911 where featured on Distant Signal Production on RUclips.
In Switzerland we had a prison train. It was a repurposed old commuter Train (RBe540 with a matching BDt car) that got converted for prisoner transport
I'm looking this up right now!
Years ago, there was a Southern Pacific Railroad Police caboose in the middle of a train. Needless to say, the train derailed at speed, and killed those police riding in the caboose.
Why, "needless to say, the train derailed at speed"? Are you saying the placement of the caboose caused the derailment?
Hi, no the caboose did not cause the wreck. It was just in the train make up when it derailed killing the cops. This was when SP was trying to implement some new tech, and they were having a hard time with it.@@Dave-in-MD
@@shanestoddard3152 Ok, I was just confused by the way you worded it.
The official vehicles for the street train racers and drifters😁
I wonder if the MARTA Police Department's Special Operations Response Team can respond to a mass shooting at any of MARTA's underground train stations?
I know where one of these police bay side cabooses still exists. I live right next to one. Also know where a Rio grand/SP caboose converted into a police caboose is sitting and rusting away near the Pacific ocean.
Nice video 📹
Thanks!
I like train videos on RUclips 👍
You can't put a Banana up that Bearcat's Tailpipe....
