This actually is a good idea with having a bypass to keep the backed up traffic down if trains are a constant thing where main lines are located at and there's no room for an overpass. Grew up in Eastern New Mexico where Santa Fe and later BNSF has a main hub with multiple main tracks. Thanks for sharing this unique crossing.
@@kingtonsiljockey528 Looks to me like that's the old road that goes under and the newer road has the crossing, Usually, the old road gets demolished. They're lucky to still have that old road.
It's a shame, that we have everything right here in America, and some people don't no how much, we can restore these trains. I'm hoping to more restored trains , and trains ,that have diners on them on your podcast. A special live pocast is what I'm waiting for. great stuff!
@@boa1793 There's not a passenger train depot within 200 miles of me. And, I'm sure that's true for lots of people. That makes it a little difficult. I've never been on a passenger train, and I'm 69 years old.
That was really GREAT!! I like your use of maps to orient us to where you are in the world. I appreciate that a lot. That bypass worked surprisingly well. Folks seemed to cooperate pretty good there. No smashes on your camera time. LOL Super luck on two trains so close, heck THREE trains, You could not have ordered better show. Great work JT. Thanks again for a super show.
Grade crossings are the cheapest way to cross a road. Overpases (bridges) and underpasses (tunnels) are considerably more expensive. It's all about money. NS's pinch-penny attitude is what caused the East Palestine disaster. The problem is, every railroad is doing the same thing, sacrificing safety and crew awareness for extra short-term profit.
@@paulrobinson4769Back in my hometown, Sam Bernardino, California. They used to have a railroad crossing at Hunts Lane, they converted it into an overpass, and I'm happy about it, there's still railroad crossings everywhere else in San Bernardino County, but I just deal with it.
If those motorists weren't in such a hurry they'd have seen 3 great covered hoppers former CNW as well as Pillsbury and Big Iowa Co-op. Plus out in the country that fantastic mix on the CSX gen frt including former woodchip cars hauling Coke and the older and odd design centerbeams. Rather surprising that the firm demolishing the PowerPlant didn't keep the track in considering how much scrap has to be moved out along with some of the bulkier equipment. Looked like one of those perfect days you want to bottle up and save. After the cold and snow it's a nice treat to be out so thanks for sharing the trackside findings
Why would people care what’s on a train, it doesn’t bring food and gas and merchandise to their home!! lol. To much in a hurry to stop and smell the roses, or diesel !!
I used to live in Canada and I love the sound of the trains hooters when they approach a crossing….brings back wonderful memories..Thank you for this….From Cheshire England.
Great catch of the NS trains at that cool crossing in Carlisle! That's just too cool to see something like it! Then to catch the CSX trains at the other location where the people at that house had their own private crossing! It's a shame that people have nothing better to do than to vandalize private property! Thanks again JT for another great video along with your PRICELESS time and effort! Cheers from Delmar, Delaware my friend!
Thanks Shawn! I really got lucky with those trains passing. That NS line I usually only get one long train and a short local when I go there so having two long trains was really lucky
Thanks. I enjoyed that. Trains were a big part of my life growing up. My dad worked for the CPR for 32 years. His home station was in a small town and we lived in a village just about 3 km from there. Our home was built right beside the CNR tracks with trains, from steam to diesel, going through all hours of the day and night. I always lived in a city or town where there were railroad tracks and you could hear the train whistles, if not see the trains, all the time. However, on our last move the place we are in now is nowhere near a train track and I really miss hearing and seeing trains. ❤🚂
Been hooked on trains since visiting my grandparents in tiny Pamplin, VA as a kid. They had the Norfolk & Western Belt Line parallel to Route 47 and front row seats from their porch swing! Back then, the Farmville Main Line also ran on the second set of tracks. (Since converted to High Bridge Trail State Park.) My grandpa and great-uncles all worked for the railroad.
Went to school in carlisle. Been through that bypass hundreds of times. Carlisle has 2 different sets of mainline tracks. Getting held up by a train is an everyday thing and if they are switching off a car at Gross lumber be prepared for a half hour wait for them to clear the crossing.
We need crossings like that in Birmingham AL. Trains stop for hrs and sometimes days and no one can get by, not even school busses or emergency vehicles.
You'd think that the city would start fining the railroad for blocking the roadways. Makes me wonder how many people died because the emergency personnel could not reach them in time because of the train (s) blocking the road.🤔😑
You will only see a viaduct like this in Ohio. It's very interesting to see. And Norfolk Southern has my favorite horn. One train going one way, the other another. What a great day. And great video. Have a nice day 😊🌈
I love watching trains. It still amazes me how they can have locomotives in various places in the train and they can be synchronized to run at the same rate.
never ever saw that before ... thank you for posting ... can you imagine waiting for that train ... good thing it's a rare happening ... and you got 2 trains ... enjoy your afternoon ...
GREAT video! How lucky to see 2 trains one right after the other. Thanks for sharing and telling about that by-pass! Lovely park and shame on the vandals for damaging that equipment.
Hi Chessie and JT! Neat video. That is a really unusual crossing. Why anyone would want to use it instead of watching a train, is a little baffling! Lol. We don't get many mid-train DPUs here in N. Idaho on BNSF. On the rear, fairly common. Several weeks ago a really long and heavily loaded coal train was headed west. It had 4 units on the front, 3 were BNSF and 1 UP. Mid train there were 3 units, 1 was BNSF, 1 was UP and 1 was Ferro Mex. On the rear were 3 more BNSF. Have never seen that much power on a coal train thru here. It was cool to see! Have a good one!
Ck out @GeologyNick - he and his wife lived in Idaho before they moved to Washington State. They are both teachers. He's really going the extra mile in March - 4 days of lectures at the Morgan Auditorium. Seats 700.
I have lived next to the trains all my life. Growing up was our alarm to get up for school. where i live now i can hear and see the trains....we used to sit in swing and count how many cars then waved at the caboose.. good memories
Never seen one like this one in my lifetime, though I wouldn’t take that bypass if you paid me, I’d stay and enjoy the show and get treated to two trains one after another, that’s pretty cool son. You the man JT.👍🏼
The best number I can find for the number of level crossings in the U.S. is 209,765. Not sure how much it would cost per crossing, but I would imagine it would cost many billions to construct these everywhere.
That is a great spot, two sets of tracks to watch NS and CSX. Also,you can capture quite a good run of all trains. Alburtis,Pennsylvania is like that too. East you catch the freights out of the Allentown yards and West freights from the great state of Ohio,home of the great Jim Jordan. But Brian,I still have a weak spot for LaGrange.
JT thanks for these awesome videos that bypass was odd never saw anything like that we enjoyed it a lot. We like to see your dog and cat there adorable at the end of the videos. Take care and stay safe out there.
Wow that was a great bridge and by pass I would stop to watch the train in stead of using the by pass awesome trains JT your the greatest videos thanks ❤
Life is a journey from one unknown at the start and another unknown at the end . Find peace and joy along this journey. This video reminds me of happier times .
Super interesting video. Great action. Always unique to see a UP loco in the mix. Viaduct cool too, guess it's for the "type A" personalities who can't wait 🙂. Awesome slide show. Thanks JT.
Hello JT. I saw a news report where Ohio was going to apply for adding a passenger corridor between northern Ohio then south toward Dayton, over to Columbus, then southwest to Cincinnati. When I’ve looked at passenger routes there’s a barrier between northern and southern corridors. This would be a benefit for adding services in Ohio… not to mention more filming opportunities if/when it happens.🚂Have a good one!
Ha ha, rolling down the grass hills. I’m 68 but we used to do that as kids. We also “sledded” down those same hills on refrigerator boxes my dad would bring home. Fun times 🤠
I've never seen a bypass like that, until now. That's pretty cool! I wonder what traffic had Priority (Mail, Doctor), to mandate the installation of the trestle?
Great video! Taught my K classes this week how to make a cityscape- houses and of course a train, crossing, lights, tracks, train 🚂 depot , and a raifan stand!!!! They loved it !
Kinda late for me today, Señor Jaws. But, I did my 'Like' and watched until the end. Speaking of, your drawings are really coming together now. Staying within the lines when working with the crayon is a big step in any artist's career. Gracias por tu video. RT sends, Puebla, México...
Thank you so much 😀. The kids were the artists here though. Now I do have some of my artwork from when I was their age. I showed it to my wife and was asking her if I should post it but I couldn't get an answer from her because she wouldn't stop laughing. Something in one of my drawings must have been a trigger lol
All of your videos are very awesome and cool enjoy every one of them nice to that you include your dogs and cat very cute all the best to you and your family keep up the awesome work because you're also recording history for future generations to enjoy God bless
Pretty unique crossing setup. Reminds me of a crossing in Cumberland, MD where a pedestrian walkway under the tracks allows people to cross if a train is holding things up. Very cool.
Where I work there are three sets of tracks running through our property. We have two tunnels under the tracks. Sounds interesting when in the tunnels the trains run overhead.
That bypass road is a great idea! Never saw one before! I live in Canada, but where I live there are no trains. Ever. So thank you for showing me. And I bet the people in the waiting car were wishing they had taken that bypass road when the second train came. Two in a row? That's another first for me.
Awesome video of trains especially the power plant in the background. I grew up Kalamazoo the paper city of the US, but long gone. Every paper company had it's own Railroad spur including the Mrow power plant in Comstock. The coal power plant has been retrofit to natural gas had it spur removed quite few years after last paper mill closed. However this power plant, heats and produces power for the state hospital and WMU or Western Michigan University, which I attended school there at one time.
Just wanted to drop you a quick line. I start my day out each day watching your videos as I am eating breakfast and drinking my tea or coffee here in southeastern PA.
I grew up in Reading Ohio. You couldn't get out of town without a train crossing from every direction. Too bad they didn't have those little pass-unders like in the video. The sound of those train horns are buired inside my brain permanently.
I've never seen a bypass like this before. I thought the underground was one way and surprised to see traffic in both directions. I wondered how many impatient drivers would try and scoot around the barrier once the first train had passed?
Look at all those cars going around the bypass, nope not rail fans. 🚗🚕🚙 CSX got the hammer down, thats a neat spot with all those tracks, I'd love to live at that house on the top of the hill. "NO DEFECTS" Super Duper Video !! 👍👍👍
I always thought of how long I would have to wait on the NS Dayton District for action… considering that it took four attempts within a span of almost a year to get just that one crossing recorded…
that bypass is so cool...and where was that train headed in such a hurry??? I'll bet that second train really ticked a lot of people off that had already waited through the first train!!!!
You spent a very productive afternoon in the Carlisle, Ohio area on 6 February 2023, Jaw Tooth! The bypass at the Norfolk Southern crossing is an interesting way of allowing car traffic to avoid the railroad crossing. Based on the height sign, no over-the-road truck traffic can use the bypass. It is a shame that there are people who cannot respect the property of others.
I grew up in Oklahoma nearby to a railroad track. We used to all look for the hobos standing in the open cars as the trains came by. They waved and all my brothers and sisters and I waved back. I loved thinking about where they were going. When I grew up I went to some of the places that I imagined they were going to. I still love walking the tracks hoping a train will come by.
A very smart and practical idea for those who commute to their jobs or those who has school aged kids to pick up. A necessity at certain major checkpoints to facilitate traffic flows. 👍👏👏👏🏆
I grew up, and still in Grand Prairie, Tx. We had the highest number of RR crossings, as well as the highest number of RR deaths. Look it up. I love GP. Class of 1985.
I love your videos I'm sorry I haven't made a comment in awhile you are awesome with your videos and also your religious beliefs thank you so much God bless
Marshall Amp... that's the one everyone is copying. Sears use to copy stuff too... change a few resistors . instead of 20 ohms put two 10 ohms and call it there design. lol cool choice JT. I knew that was your guitar on your videos. I played a Gibson 335 black walnut and a Fender amp two channel with reverb.
That is so cool! Especially when a train is so long it will make you late to wherever you're trying to go. I've never seen such a long train or a creative crossing such as this.
Vandalism is unacceptable. What an awesome video. Being a railfan out on the high iron, you are blessed to have a CSX jacket to wear. I have a CSX cap from my brother-in-law who use to work for the railroad .
Sounds like more than a few barking seals on that first train but the EOT DPU was a plus. You starting to get an "in" with dispatching like WWOT? That train meet seems mighty suspicious. Great action through and through, thanks much!

Awesome video with a dpu working hard and a train meet but wait there’s more 👍😎🚂🇺🇸
Thanks 👍
Gm jawtooth
Cool catch again. Not often do you see an alternate route to go under the trains. Thx!!
Thanks!
Surely not first ?
Mr Sanders beat you bythismuch.
Yup you were 👍
@@Phantom-Signal Bryant Sanders beat him. Maybe next time.
A very smart and practical idea for those who commute to their jobs or those who has school aged kids to pick up. A necessity at certain major checkpoints to facilitate traffic flows. 👍👏👏👏🏆
Dude that was cool thanks for the video !😊
That is awesome. THis is the first time I've seen a bypass like this. I wish that there were more like it.
GM JT. Great video as always Sir.
This is a great idea. No disruption during construction, small bridge required. One on each side would probably be cheaper than a bigger bridge.
I grew up, and still in Grand Prairie, Tx.
We had the highest number of RR crossings, as well as the highest number of RR deaths. Look it up.
I love GP. Class of 1985.
183 cars on that one. Cool bypass on that crossing, never seen anything like that! Very interesting! Thanks Jaw Tooth!
So interesting. Learning is always fun. Thank you. Subbing!
That's awesome. All busy areas should have those. First I've seen. Thanks for that video
Very cool vid!
I like that bypass lane, that's cool!
I love your videos I'm sorry I haven't made a comment in awhile you are awesome with your videos and also your religious beliefs thank you so much God bless
Marshall Amp... that's the one everyone is copying. Sears use to copy stuff too... change a few resistors . instead of 20 ohms put two 10 ohms and call it there design. lol cool choice JT. I knew that was your guitar on your videos.
I played a Gibson 335 black walnut and a Fender amp two channel with reverb.
The heartland folks...this is what we do🙋♀️🤗 Cool isn't it? Thank you so much for being at the right place at the right time!
You've been killin' it lately. Lots of doubles this year.
Great train meet great location great video thanks Jaw tooth
The one I noticed is that those trains was really moving on those tracks. Thanks for the live action my friend.
No problem 👍 Thanks for watching !
Exciting video. Loved the bypass ramp and multiple train also.
That is so cool! Especially when a train is so long it will make you late to wherever you're trying to go. I've never seen such a long train or a creative crossing such as this.
Cool video, thanks I enjoyed that. Unique bypass under the tracks. I like how the hill was built for sledders? Nice touch there.
Thanks 👍
That was cool, the people that weren't hip had a long wait.😉 You can see why they made that underpass.
Vandalism is unacceptable. What an awesome video. Being a railfan out on the high iron, you are blessed to have a CSX jacket to wear. I have a CSX cap from my brother-in-law who use to work for the railroad .
Thank you very much!
@@FabianDiazTrainsTrucksNCars Awesome! I didn't realise that
That's amazing... I've never heard of a train bypass!! I wish we had these in NW GA!
Thanks for watching !
Very cool! Love the bypass too. Other kids should be so lucky to have a hill built for them. Rolling down, sledding down and….
Good morning I enjoyed that video👍👍
Good morning!
I never seen anything like that. A little underpass next to the crossing. Thanks for showing us that!
Thanks for watching!
Really cool video and trains. I can't believe how long some of them are with so many different types of rolling stock. They all look AWESOME!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Sounds like more than a few barking seals on that first train but the EOT DPU was a plus. You starting to get an "in" with dispatching like WWOT? That train meet seems mighty suspicious. Great action through and through, thanks much!
As a techno troglodyte I have no clue how to do that!
Great point! I have been getting a lot of trains passing each other lately. I don't know why. This is my best one though
