- Never count Ashland out in the contest of "Cars turning onto rails"! Wonder where the next one will be? Thanks for coming by and as always, please stay safe.
The deer at the Horseshoe Curve are smarter than that driver in Ashland.
Why does that keep occurring? Where did he think he was going?
Tell your editors thanks so much for all these grab bags. I'm so busy with work all week that I don't get to watch the cams much. The grab bags are great to watch on my day off. Thank you for them!
I never thought I'd be nostalgic for 2nd generation diesels!
Imagine all the street running towns without railcams. Many more stories to tell...
Imagine if there were railcams during the Interurban days of America.
Yea lol
@@harrisonofcolorado8886 trucks and Horse carriages 🐎 with pedestrians crossing right in front of the motormen, Farmers Insurance would have more claim stories to tell 🙄.
Bumpa Bump Bump, Bump pa ...
Fort Collins Cam, yeah !
Never gets old with the car days in Ashland. Even though a great grab bag :)
At least he was in between the tracks facing straight and not stuck on one at an angle
Ashland giving Virtual Railfan viewers an early Christmas gift.
Railfan drone! 👍🤣🎉
Excellent Video.............
-----------Like and Thumbs Up!👍👍
This was amazingly set up. I lived in NoVA, and know this Ashland intersection well! Cheers from Buenos Aires.
Loved this one!! Ashland is the Bermuda Triangle for cars 😁🇳🇿
At this rate this may pass the “11’8” (now 11’8”+8”) bridge in North Carolina…!
But the difference is, you get eaten by the bridge, here you drive 🚗 🙄 into a hole 🕳 🤔 of some return.
3:26 the train driver just didn’t honk as it would probably scare them across the tracks
🤣 i love the boing
Some of these towns with rails in the middle of them could be confusing for someone who doesn't know the traffic pattern. It was raining and at night, so can understand why she couldn't see the turn properly. The first time I saw La Grange on here, I couldn't believe it. That place is a nightmare too. I am someone with anxiety while driving, so God help me if I ever visit either of these places in my life. LOL Maybe I'll be featured here someday. 😂🤣
I hope you don't end up on the tracks, but if you do visit those places, at least you know to pay extra attention at those intersections.
@@darlenemassey6161 haha Yes for sure.
3:12 Love the deer taking no notice of the train
Oh my ....It's GOTTA b 'da water' over there in Ashland....
To consistent... 🤔
Great catches & editing...thx
Man, Ashland's drivers really are something
Deer and not running away from a train?!?!?!? What a suprise!
And everyone just keeps on driving like it never happened 😁
Ashland is like a vortex
It's judge dredge🤣🤣
i was watching this live in the stream from England when this happened kind of funny lol
Well, Ashland DOES have this perfected (the recovery) after so many practices lol.
I'll never understand how someone like that woman could just turn down train tracks and not realize what they're doing.
Christmas bonuses coming early for those Ashland tow companies
They have quite a few just around the corner from here 😂
We have crossing arms for at-grade to suggest that people let the train cross the road...
Maybe they need to take that same suggestion and put some crossing arms across so that they block the rails at the Ashland intersection (amongst others :) ). These arms would go up to let the trains thru as the at-grade arms go down to tell drivers to let the train thru the intersection.
But what do I know... {shrug}
Tow truck business in Ashland is the best in the world.
Very interesting switching move at Strasburg! Have they always used gravity to move their freight cars, and was there an engine behind those cars?
Tks for these clips! My internet connection is not very good streaming video.
Thanks for the memories! And she even cut someone off to do it!!!
Love your US trains, esp the double stacked cars.from the UK.
Nice to see you start with Deshler, OH first thing! That's my "home" station; I live just south of Dayton. I should really watch more Fostoria, too.
that street still needs more reflective signs or tape
10:27 "she caught the Katy, and left me a mule to ride"
If you listen closely, you can hear the voice of Rod Serling.
Does anyone keep count of the Ashland accidents??
0:57 double-heading CSX in New Mexico with steel coils and intermodal containers
1:40 long-hood-forward AC44CW
1:48 nice to see steam locomotive 89 out and about on Strasburg's tracks again
2:42 grinding the banked curved at Paradise
6:05 you guys have a drone? That's a lot of videos to look forward to!
6:19 very unusual to see this happen on Strasburg in the 21st century. I thought such practices were not allowed unless in a controlled hump yard
6:40 CN and Ferromex doubleheading
6:50 does anyone know how long FREDs are used for? They don't have axles or brakes to wear down or suffer from stress under loads, but the technology in them could've easily evolved to warrant the retirement of older ones
7:50 a very impressive sight on the Mississippi River
8:10 a small rail grinder grinding the switch
9:16 two GE locomotives with two inspection cars
9:26 the perfect day to see this locomotive!
9:38 and Amtrak 642
10:13 a KCS local taking the long way round Kansas city to the Union Pacific Armourdale Yard
10:28 UP 1988 in Pennsylvania
11:06 CP and KCS doubleheading in Canada! I guess this is to promote the merger
12:44 a police car drove by and didn't notice something was wrong!
17:08 an FEC GEVO doubleheading with an SD40-2 without an LNG fuel tender. All of FEC's GEVOs are the first regular service fleet of LNG-powered locomotives
17:28 SP gray leader with a nice bell
18:50 two BNSF locomotives running light
about 45 minutes ago another car got stuck on tracks in Ashland, Va. again!!!
Had an engineer friend of mine who encountered a BMW Z3 that drove off the edge of a crossing and got stuck. His response to the dispatcher after stopping: “I’ve got about 15,000 horsepower here that can move it real quick!”
10:39 Red Signal Run-Through - Tower 55 - Fort Worth, Tx - LET'S GO BABY!
Was lucky to be watching when it happened, funny how long they had to wait for a tow. The driver didn't look happy, haha
That car at Ashland is exactly the same model Toyota I drive
Hope you drive better than the person in the video.
@@BradRains I do
The city's refusal to paint solid lines in a curb-like designation remains The Problem. Those 'ends of pavement' should have huge, wide solid stripes parallel to the car lanes that clearly indicate "drive between THESE lines".
I guess that is hard to see where the road is when the weather is bad at that ashland crossing and if people are in a big hurry to turn there. There have been several videos showing vehicles do that there.
It is actually rather poorly lit, considering it is the largest intersection in "town" and with a new traffic pattern from one side (add in the thousands of drivers that probably should not be driving anymore) and they really need to do something to make the turns more clear.
@@aking4766 Now that you mention lighting I looked for streetlights and there aren't any at that intersection/crossing; hadn't previously noticed that. Got on Google Street view to check and yeah, no streetlights at that point, none, zero.
@@aking4766 Thanks for your information. take care.
@@scottfw7169 Thanks for your information. take care
Nice
🏵️🏵️🇮🇳🏵️🏵️
Ashland is well known for 🚗 getting stuck on train tracks 😂😂
Sidewalk crossing gates. How cool is that?
NICE.....
I wonder if better lighting would help in Ashland ?
Less "crackerjack box" license holders would definitely help
Well I see that the bumblebee is back
you mean a train cant swerve to avoid a car what?
Ashland has a rep to maintain!🤣🤣
Hard to believe there are drivers out there on the road. At least she never killed anybody. :-(
Ashland cop doesn't know not to step on the rails. In wet weather yet!
It just gets weirder ... a CN+Ferromex combo??!
New treaty...
Canada-USA-MEXICO.....
There at 6:49 it looks like the answer to your question about how many miles the FRED went might well be 'All of them'. 😁
I don't know how many cars over the years I've seen go onto the tracks in Ashland, I don't get it? can these people not see where they are going? Get that woman a vision test pronto! Obviously she can't see past the end of her nose!
Nice one.
While the car was on the tracks in Ashland, a police car goes past in the background.
Looks like Ashland has a major DUI problem.
5:21 This is BNSF 2593 we're ready to pull out with a clear signal; over
Was the sequence at Paradise (1:47 - 2:45) another example of on-the-job training on how to couple up a locomotive to a train set?
Ft. Madison is my favorite...so far.
The deer be like: if I stay still they can’t see me
"he was proboley instructed to run the red signal" Next day: train accident in FT worth, TX
If he wasn't he may be taking a permanent holiday from UP.
How in the world can people who want to make a left turns end up on the tracks? That driver in Ashland should be lucky there wasn't a train coming when she did that. Wow. Unbelievable
Not sure what I'm watching here. It's like all sorts of random video clips from various parts of the country, no theme or particular railroad.
Ashland is the best doooh way
Not first probably.
There is ANOTHER one on the tracks right now!
It was pushed off before the police could arrive. Lucky her.....
CSX continues to use the steerable trucks under their GE’s while CP couldn’t get rid of theirs fast enough.
Here comes the dredge 😂😂😂
Really??? There was enough light in Ashland this time. One would think that driver would have definitely seen the tracks! 🤦♂️
In Ashland, I don't understand why they couldn't just throw the car in reverse and back up out of there along the tracks?
Assuming they didn't end up high centered on the rail, that still looks like quite a height difference between the road plate and the ground. I doubt they'd be able to have the car pull itself up that high
Ashland is like the 11'8" cam...
I wonder how much they charge getting people car's off tracks?
There's a reason the fire department is literally just out of view from the camera (and the police department a mere stone's throw to the left of the frame!)
I really don't get what is so confusing about that Ashland crossing...............
What's with all the transformer...
My guess would be that all the windmills we see being transported to install, the transformers would be going to tie the windmills to the grid.
What happened to the stausberg cam been down awhile
12:27 the person is intoxicated
Another great grab bag
Ohh noo dude again!?? LOL
I'll be traveling through Asshatland, VA later this week on the Silver Star. If we get delayed I'll know why. lol
@@rearspeaker6364 Got delayed in Chicago. Haven't made it there yet.
@@rearspeaker6364 lol
@16:19 LOL!
7:02 There is a video on RUclips on how they operate those lifts for those who are disabled.
7:46 Special Thanks to those who are serving and for those who have served.
8:08 What kind of Maintenance of Way equipment is that? I've never seen anything like it before.
18:47 An Executive Paint Scheme SD70MAC leading. Very rare.
That's about the second one third car I've seen Toad from there people need to pay attention somebody can get killed
12:31 again this has happened too much
Lol again 🤣
What is that "Sparky" unit at 2:45?
The Loram
Hugh?
A third one just a little while ago!!
Seeing that VR can zoom in on instructions, think it's time to put those license plates on public display for those that drive (er uh, negotiate) the rails in Ashland
1:43 Since when did CSX YN2 AC44’s get rear ditch lights?
They’re temporary, add on lights that are clipped/hanged onto the end of the loco. They use them all the time when a six axle GE gets called upon for local service. Otherwise, they’re restricted to 25mph without them.
Was that an old conrail
Honestly, you really can't fault whoever was involved in the Ashland deal. It was both dark and rain had been in the area recently, so the clouds made it darker.
12:27 someone took a wrong turn. 🤦♀️
👍👊😎
Whats up in Cocoa at 1:20
Another space craft. Read the caption!
another victim of the deadly trail in ashland
I'm surprised non-subscribers are allowed to comment!

@@thelegendchrisb my point is only subbers should be allowed to comment
@12:25 She did it on purpose. Shame on her.
Ashland has way to many cognitively diminished people.
