Sharpest Railroad Curve Ever On Main Line & Dangerous Place To Railfan, CSX Enters Queensgate Yard

  • Dangerous area to Railfan and sharpest curve ever on a mainline railroad line. Train knocks down the signal while entering the huge railroad yard in Cincinnati known as Queensgate Yard. First a local switching train goes by with a remote control locomotive that is used for switching customers on the west side of Cincinnati. I saw this remote control locomotive in action just before I filmed it but I couldn't find anywhere to park. This train use to have a caboose for long reverse moves but they have abandoned the caboose idea. Next train was a HUGE CSX auto racks train. It slowly approached the curve, knocked down the signal ( Yellow goes to Red ), crossed the bridge and went through the flood wall to enter the huge yard. It took about 18 minutes for this train to pass me and while it was going by you can see 2 other trains moving in the distance on the Norfolk Southern line and another CSX line. There was also a Central Railroad Of Indiana CIND train waiting to enter the yard but I left after the CSX auto racks train passed me. This area is not good for rail fanning. Some of the people who walk through here just look a little shady and they never smile. The road to get back here is listed as a city road but it has huge pot holes full of water and trash is everywhere including some old mattresses with some weird stains. When I was there filming there were 2 police cars parked just a short way down from me next to one of the flood walls. I had a friend with me but he didn't get out of the truck. I have another video that I made here a couple years ago showing the old B&O dwarf signal in use that use to sit next to the bridge on the sharp curve. Filmed December 16, 2021. Thanks for watching!

    Just west of the Tehachapi Loop and downhill is an extended length of a tight curve. I had a field project nearby with an elevated view of the curve. All wheel flanges were screaming the entire time they were in the curve. Uphill with 3 units leading and variable pushers in the mix, the trains aren't speeding. Scenic mountain setting, with several tunnels visible from highway CA-58, but the loop isn't. Some memorable wrecks along this stretch, back to steamer days. My Dad had a great book on this section.

      6 horseshoe curves and a loop, 12-14 degree curves everywhere, and all of it on mountain grade, between 2.2 and 2.9%. Tehachapi is a terrible grind, home to over a dozen string line derailments a year while still being one of the busiest stretches of single-track mainline in the country.

    I grew up near Morpeth, in Northumberland, England. It has the tightest curve (17 chains or 340 metres radius) of any main railway line in the United Kingdom. Several serious/fatal accidents have happened there on northbound trains. Indeed, the UK rail system now features "Morpeth Boards" which are like AWS signals but for upcoming speed restrictions (because of curves, or whatever).

    Some comments about graffiti. The culture easily costs the public untold millions of dollars. Consider that most of the paint you see has been shoplifted or stolen in other ways because this genre of "artists" are not purchasing the materials. Also consider that the railroads must reapply any official numbering and coding where the graffiti has covered them up. Consider in the case of the auto racks that paint overspray has damaged many new vehicle finishes that must be corrected when the vehicle reaches the destination.

It was the beginning of the old B&O from Baltimore to Ellicott City, Maryland (about 10 miles). Since the first train ran in the 1800's it was extended to Brunswick, MD and west. It is still an active line hauling double stacks, autos, coal, ethanol to the port at Baltimore. I enjoyed seeing this (and al of your videos).

    Thank you for documenting these trains, Jaw Tooth! That was neat to see the three trains at once. That auto rack train was a HUGE. I noticed that the auto rack train was initially struggling as it came up the hill to come to that sharp curve. After a while I moticed that the auto rack train was moving faster as the engines got it moving. Those flood walls are something to see. I presume that the wall plugs that go into the flood walls where the train tracks go through the flood wall are close to the openings so that they can be put in place when they are needed.

      Thomas, I think the Public Works department for the City of Cincinnati has a place or places that they store those flood wall sections. I've watched them close up the wall down on Mehring Way, which is a road down below the city along the river. They bring in the pieces there on a truck and put them in place with a boom on another truck. They seem to work pretty fast when floods threaten the city. You know it's going to be a bad one when they seal off those walls, it disrupts so many things when they do put them up, but then again, the river does that when it goes to major flood stage.

    I have some more cats now and waiting for the appointment for TNRs. I thought that was so pawsome when I found out that you took that lil kitten in. I'm glad you're getting her fixed, too.

    Jawtooth,
    Have ever considered giving tours with rail fans? There is a guy who does it with baseball games and charges $1,000 per game. It would be great for those of us rail fans who don’t know the area or that much about real life trains. AKA how many times do have to explain what a DPU is? LOL!
    You could call your tours “A day with Jawtooth.”

    That was really fantastic, Jaw Tooth! Never thought that a major transcontinental railroad would have such tight curves! There seem to be quite a few of them leading up to the entrance on that side of the yard. I hope it's not too difficult to get some more videos in that location, if it's not too dangerous. Really appreciate this.

      there is one in New York on a video from a while back that is tighter then this that leads into an industry. Only 4 axel GP's are allowed to do the switching of it, since it also goes into the building itself. I forget who posted it but its a crazy tight curve.

    That CSX train with boxcars for automobiles that was a long one. I guess two trains in one therefor a DPU. But man what a busy railyard overthere tree trains into the yard and one waiting.

    • @thomasboese3793
      @thomasboese3793 2 года назад

      Not "boxcars", "Auto-Racks". A boxcar can/will carry anything fit to put into it, where "only" vehicles are carried in the long train cars. Note the auto-racks only have end doors, on both ends so the vehicles can be driven from one end of the cut of cars being loaded/unloaded to the other end.
      Perhaps this video will help you fully understand the unloading. ruclips.net/video/EKk4MTJ2koE/видео.html
      And this one, the "loading". Enjoy the "drive". ruclips.net/video/oqc6GSMhljo/видео.html

      Back in the 90s, we took our two kids to visit the oldest daughter's friend whose family mover to Ohio. We spent the afternoon on the ore ship that is open for tours and was told as we were leaving, by a crew member, to get out of this area of town well before dark.

    That auto rack train was a monster!! That is something how sharp that curve is heading into the yard. I wonder how the sections of the flood wall seals up tight enough to keep out the water with the rails at the bottom. Would like to see how they fit. I am surprised you can gain access to the area you parked your truck. This was a cool place you went to to shoot some train action. Norfie sure is getting big. I am surprised she doesn't scratch your son all up the way he holds her. She really is great natured to allow him to hold her in that way, especially now that she is getting bigger. It's a good thing she will be getting fixed soon. The dogs sure do know how to laze around in comfort. They are great natured dogs to be so good with the cat as they are.
