I grew up with my dad having bought each of his boys and got them each a train set. With the old locomotives. To this day I can go watch a train and just reminisce with my dad who is in heaven.
I enjoyed this video very much I used to be a Brakeman switchman are the Illinois Terminal Railroad in 1977 out of Decatur Illinois thanks again for a great video and God bless
Jaw tooth another great and live-action video you get out there in all kinds of weather and do your best! I think your videos are the best on RUclips, keep them coming, Brian!
I noticed the conductor in the second segment getting on the hopper while it was shoving. At UP we are forbidden to mount and dismount moving equipment. I know every railroad has it's own rules lol. Oh, BTW the UP big boy is ready to roll out.
We watch you from Grand Prairie, TX just west of downtown Dallas. We have a crossing with 3 tracks that goes over 6 lane feeder road with crossing arms that are sometimes spastic!! For last 2 days, every time a train crosses, there are flaggers at the barriers walking back & forth with big stop signs. I'm not sure what has happened. They are out there right now!!
If you ever come up by Alpena Michigan during the summer, our train hauls out limestone and cement cars. Sometimes up to around 100 cars. 10mph speed limit so pretty easy to chase! Lake State Railway look it up
If the engines are coupled together, they just run an "MU cable" and air hoses between them. MU means Mutliple Unit. It directly connects the two (or more) locomotives together to operate as one. There are a few railcars that have all the hookups to MU 2 locomotives to operate as one. These are typically used in cases where there is a light bridge, usually on a branch line where the weight of 2 locomotives would break the bridge, so they add an old railcar with all the cables running thru it so only one locomotive is actually on the bridge at a time. Otherwise, they would have to uncouple, run one loco across the bridge, then run the other one with the train across and recouple. As for "distributed power" or "DP" there is a radio remote control system that sends a signal from the controlling loco to the distributed loco. Lower drawbar pull (i.e. less chance of breaking a train) and a bit quicker stopping in emergency, because the air is released at multiple locations.
Nothing to fix -- that's normal function on most diesel locomotives. Moisture from the air collects in the brake system and there's a valve at the lowest point in the system to blow it out.
great video must have been a cold day it looks like it was trying to snow on you! even if the weather is bad your videos are great, so get out there and make more boy!!!!
They got it from TTI out of Paris, Kentucky. I am the only person who has videoed it. It also has a sister Dash 7. Check back soon and you will see it also.
@@JawTooth That's awesome. I was raised on dash 7's ... when I worked for BNSF (coal country) they still had them back in the 90's pulling manifests and some coal but the EMD MAC 70's were taking over most of coal. I love the GE chugga - chugga engine sounds. Wish we had scratch and sniff video tech so I could smell the belching black smoke these things put out :) love the video .. keep em coming!
@bill timmons Not the 1970s. They didn't start making B36-7s until 1980, and the one you see in this video was one of the last off the production line, in July 1985. It's actually two months younger than the GP49.
Whewwwww!! That was great son!! Does the company have a certain amt of time to get that signal fixed or who gives a bleep and maybe they will , maybe they won't, lol
Yes. Probably just wasn't expecting it. At least they didn't just try to keep on going. I can tell you stories that cops have told me about that. Like this one guy...got ticketed EIGHT different times for going around the gates. The cop told me that the guy didn't care! Well, he finally did it one too many times and the train got him!!! I've seen idiots with their whole family...even babies in car seats go around the gates!!! I'd just shake my head...one time, I saw someone just barely miss getting. He had to swerve to avoid getting it! MAN!!! That guy was LUCKY!!!!!
@@NiceMuslimLady That could have happened to me today. I had to wait on a train twice in less than a half hour. The second time I came up to the crossing as the arms were starting to come down, so I just stopped my car & waited.
I'm guessing if drivers realized the average locomotive weighs 210 tons or a loaded train a mile to stop, they wouldn't be so quick to get across the tracks. Then again...it probably wouldn't matter anyway. 🙄
@@JawTooth True. Buuut wait -- there's more! I didn't think to look up the SD45, since she looks in such good condition. Turns out that, despite looking in such bad shape, B36-7 #5895 is actually the youngest locomotive on CCET! The SD45-2 was rebuilt from an SD45, originally built in July 1970 (!) and the MP15 was built in April 1982. I would never have guessed that #332 was that old. By the way, here in the UK, there are still some locomotives from the late 1950s running on the national network. Most of our old home-built locomotives (and even some relatively new ones) have been displaced by EMDs over the last 20 years.
How does the railroad know that a signal is malfunctioning? Is there some sort of diagnostics, or does it just get reported by a train crew or motorist?
To let cars coming from that direction know that the crossing isn't working and there is a train moving through said crossing. It's proper procedure I believe
Geep is referencing the blue and yellow locomotive (named Geep given the model designation of GP) As for the rest of it, I'm pretty sure it means they just had to move the engine out of the way so it could be placed at the end of the train instead of being stuck in the middle
I grew up with my dad having bought each of his boys and got them each a train set. With the old locomotives. To this day I can go watch a train and just reminisce with my dad who is in heaven.
Very cool switching ops
Thanks Joe! I just filmed them switching again yesterday but at a different location. I'm going to post that video on Saturday
*Good To See. Regards You.*
You have some of the best train videos on RUclips.
I like the way you brave all the bad weather to give us these great videos!
I grew up in Macon just a few houses down from this track. Thanks for posting these videos of my hometown!
Awesome! I have filmed a lot of videos in Macon. I have some from when Norfolk southern ran trains through there also
@@JawTooth Very nice! Keep them coming!
Excellent video. Love that switching live action. Keep them coming.
Thank you! I have a switching move that I filmed on I&O recently that I will post next week
Fantastic live action
Great video. Always encouraging to see action on the peavine. Maybe we need to set up a go fund me page to get those engines painted
Painting those engines is a great idea
@@jackscott7237 Doubt that'll happen (setting up a go-fund-me account that is). Hopefully that railroad company gets that nonworking signal fixed.
Nice catch on the railroad and cute ending with those cute little Santa’s helpers
Pls do more on this short line, it’s really good
Hey Jawtooth!... you are about to hit the 50,000 subscriber mark! Congratulations!

🐓 awesome video. Glad you got to film the malfunction. 👷🙃
Thanks 👍
Your welcome. Your the man!!! But "wait there's more".😂
I enjoyed this video very much I used to be a Brakeman switchman are the Illinois Terminal Railroad in 1977 out of Decatur Illinois thanks again for a great video and God bless
Thanks Jim!
Love the GP49’s. So much character in those beasts.
I love those former Alaska Railroad locomotives! Nice video.
Jaw tooth another great and live-action video you get out there in all kinds of weather and do your best! I think your videos are the best on RUclips, keep them coming, Brian!
Really nice video man!
Awesome jawtooth that was interesting have a nice day and keep it up
Awesome video Jaw Tooth and you encourage me to watch your video. Thumbs up Jaw Tooth 👍
John D. Falcone Thanks for watching!
Super cool and great catches 💖
I noticed the conductor in the second segment getting on the hopper while it was shoving. At UP we are forbidden to mount and dismount moving equipment. I know every railroad has it's own rules lol. Oh, BTW the UP big boy is ready to roll out.
I'm going to try to get out west to film it. that is a goal of mine
Excuse me what
@@War1109 i said the UP big boy is ready to roll out
@armageddon1981 4014?
armageddon1981 well yeah I know that but like do you mean that it’s been steam tested and moved or what?
Great video Jawtooth!
Think you jaw tooth another alsome video that u shared with us I enjoyed watching it love the long videos think you for sharing it with us
Thanks for watching Lamar!
U r welcome always
looks like you know their business as well as they do! I bet they are subscribed to your channel!!
StevePotts I think they watch some of my videos. I try to stay out of their way.
I like this neat shortline
They need to fix that rail road gate asap
Thanks voor the nice video.have a nice weekend to all.
Now that's what I call live action!
Nice video Brian! Finally had a chance to watch it; thumbs up 👍 #333!
Nice video Brian.I always wonder how long short lines will last on some of the old rail lines.Thumbs up!

You really got your money's worth out of that first spot!
Quite an involved operation there! Nice vid.
Very good. Thank you
Awesome switching Jaw Tooth

That was a good one. I still don't know how they operate a rear engine from the front. Even if they are back to back.
If the engines are coupled together, they just run an "MU cable" and air hoses between them. MU means Mutliple Unit. It directly connects the two (or more) locomotives together to operate as one. There are a few railcars that have all the hookups to MU 2 locomotives to operate as one.

Great video!!!
Thats some cool action. Keep it up
Hello Jaw Tooth. Send a hug to Brazil. Thanks!
OK, That had more action than anything I have seen. It needs 5 thumbs ups!
Thank you!
very cool! trucks were a bonus!
Blue is an unusual color for a fire hydrant!
Nice Railfaneeeee!
Hey Jaw Tooth, The RR needs to get that clicking sound on the B36-7 locomotive fixed. Good video. Jason
That clicking sound is the moisture blow-off valve installed in the braking system.
Nothing to fix -- that's normal function on most diesel locomotives. Moisture from the air collects in the brake system and there's a valve at the lowest point in the system to blow it out.
Very good video :)
great video
Thanks for the visit
Awsome video Love that switching rail car around. Does that railroad have any tunnels
No but they have steep inclines and sharp curves
Very good video....
Greetings...
great video must have been a cold day it looks like it was trying to snow on you! even if the weather is bad your videos are great, so get out there and make more boy!!!!
great video just got a video of csx with up power witch is were to see in thurmond
Dash 7? Glad to see something from the 1970's is still alive!

BNSF has " gone retro " , painting its boxcars & covered hoppers Boxcar Red.
Awesome video!! Why didn't the one crossing activate?
I don't know but they had problems with that crossing off and on for a few months or more
nice trucks.Smokey and the Bandit.IIIIIIhAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!.
Whewwwww!! That was great son!! Does the company have a certain amt of time to get that signal fixed or who gives a bleep and maybe they will , maybe they won't, lol
I don't know how often they get inspected by the FRA
Great!!
Hey I like your train videos : )
Thank you very much!
Thx
Can you do one where trains crash and about the story
the cincinnati east terminal on your profile picture is not around i noticed
18:47 - 18:52 At least this oerson had enough sense to correct their mistake.
Yes. Probably just wasn't expecting it. At least they didn't just try to keep on going. I can tell you stories that cops have told me about that.

@@kevinmiller1985 Good show. It's more fun to watch the train anyway. :)
super video
Wonder if a diesel locomotives is about the same size as an 18-wheeler.
I've noticed that sometimes the conductor is left riding the end of the train away from the loco and the train leaves the area 73
They also use a truck sometimes to transport the conductor to switch the tracks
Cool
Did they put new track signals on that line? It looks like new ones were up in the beginning of this video
It bothers me when it comes to non-busy/ short line tracks, they are lacking keeping their Signals functioning. I see it a lot here I'm at.
Excellent video. Isn't CCET 5895 an old Norfolk Southern locomotive?
Possibly. It looks like an old Conrail ex Monon Super 7
No. Built for Seaboard System, absorbed into CSX, sold to TTI, then to CCET.
How do you know when and where ccet trains will be?
Are they replacing the N&W pls?
Great blast from the past
Live action back then
You should consider
Going back to the blue graphics
Easier to read the captions
Nice Catches. 🇮🇳
I'm guessing if drivers realized the average locomotive weighs 210 tons or a loaded train a mile to stop, they wouldn't be so quick to get across the tracks. Then again...it probably wouldn't matter anyway. 🙄
I like train videos on RUclips jawtooth 😁
By the way, the B36-7 isn't actually ancient. It was built in July 1985, which makes it two months younger than the two GP49s.
Thats almost 36 years. Not many cars can go that long
@@JawTooth True. Buuut wait -- there's more! I didn't think to look up the SD45, since she looks in such good condition. Turns out that, despite looking in such bad shape, B36-7 #5895 is actually the youngest locomotive on CCET!

Black locomotive was a Toledo terminal power?
Why are the gates not down.
I like your train videos,but that young buck in that red car was kind of impatient and almost got killed by almost making a bad decision.
How does the railroad know that a signal is malfunctioning? Is there some sort of diagnostics, or does it just get reported by a train crew or motorist?
The crew has to look for them
We haven't met in real life yet. I thought "Live Action" means that you saw me or something. Well nice video though
They just bought that black locomotive?? Hope they don't hit a couple too hard. The rust falls off there'll be nothing left but an engine and a frame
you da man
1:04 Why is he throwing his flare on the other side of the traintracks?
To let cars coming from that direction know that the crossing isn't working and there is a train moving through said crossing. It's proper procedure I believe
He's guarding one side of the crossing; the flare is guarding the other.
Skip to 4:30 to see every truck in the state of Ohio!
Would someone please explain to a confused Brit what this means - Geep needs spotted on opposite end of train? Nice switching.
Geep is referencing the blue and yellow locomotive (named Geep given the model designation of GP)
As for the rest of it, I'm pretty sure it means they just had to move the engine out of the way so it could be placed at the end of the train instead of being stuck in the middle
@@cpufreak101 - Right, thanks.
"spotted" = "placed".
Malfunction Junction...lol
It didn't have a function
When will they paint the motive power into a CCET livery?
Very doubtfull. They have only painted one so far
@@JawTooth Thanks. The painted unit doesn't seem to see much action, though..
That costs an awfull lot of bucks !!! Only when necessary!!
I was the 1000th person to like
Awesome, thanks man!! I appreciate that
DPU on a shortline?
17:23 The GE speaks!
horn at crossing should be 2 longs, a short and long blast
Yeah no shit but with a man flagging the crossing and not wanting to make the conductor deaf a few quit hits of the horn work just fine!!!!
Railfan? no way,hamburger fan.hahahaha.
Wait,there is more.........Jaw tooth in 4 K in the future,lol., i wish.
Why they dont repair the railroadcrossing lichts en trees? the first Dutch RR Crossing was one American lichts and trees.they working here always.
They _do_ repair the crossing gates, and have done. It's just that this video was filmed before the repair was done.
I gust it's not working the gp49 saw it
hello the railways crossing not working mates
I like your comment
Do you ever railfan in NE Ohio?
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
