In 1978, I was a switchman for Southern Railway - became Norfolk Southern . We used to put our lunch / dinner in the engine compartment to warm it up before time to eat . I don't know how it is now - but we only got 20 minutes for meals - that is 20 minutes exactly from the time we stepped away until the time we stepped back . For many years, I wondered why the locomotives used electric traction motors . I finally looked it up, several years ago, and learned that it is because the engine RPM range is too low to achieve the speeds required without having around 30 or more gears in a transmission; which would be unworkable due to power losses / maintenance etc . The answer is electricity . Now days they wear ear and eye protection . When I was there - we did not use either . I remember when I first started - just the sound of the radio on the engine was super loud and annoying . And the rushing air sound of the bakes releasing on the engine was super loud . And the sound of the engine was really loud when it was a higher RPMs . And the sound of the horns was tremendously loud . After a couple of years, I could stand on the front of the engine ( this was the nose end, most of the time, in those days ), with the horns directly above me, and not even be bothered in the least by their sounds ... What about the squeal and screeching of the wheels around corners ? ? ? That became tolerable as long as you were not too close . If you were too close like hanging off the side or riding on the back of a car that was squealing then it was very annoying . Next is the big BANG that happens when a car is kicked down the track and it slams into another car next to you ... difficult to get used to that I also used to listen to southern rock music at high volumes . So far, by the grace of God, I have not had any hearing difficulties except I have lost a little bit of high frequency hearing in one ear ...
I was a switchman at Southern Railroad starting in the late ' 70 ' s . Preface : On the midnight shift we would sometimes get our tasks done about and hour early and a lot of times we would head the engine towards the shop ( which takes us right by the yard office ) . Sometimes we would stop there and sometimes we would ease on to the shop and then go home . However, sometimes as we were approaching the yard office and the lead to the engine shop, we would get a call on the radio from the yardmaster ... ( and of course that would mean he had another task for us to do ... ) In the early ' 80 ' s, I used a cassette tape recorder to record the yardmaster calling our conductor . One morning at about 6 AM, we were pulling some cars into the yard and I dropped off the engine so I could line the switch for the engine to pull the cars into a yard track and then line the switch back after the cars cleared the straight track . I went to my truck and got the cassette tape recorder and as the engine came back up towards the yard office, I played the tape over the radio " Southern Simpson Yard Yardmaster Sloan calling job 41 Conductor Black over " . Well, the conductor was a nervous and anxious type of person and he was already on the back of the engine anticipating being able to drop off and go ( as usual ) . He answered rapidly " This is Conductor Black over " . Then I played it again " Southern Simpson Yard Yardmaster Sloan calling job 41 Conductor Black over " . At this point the engine was near the yard office and Conductor Black bounded off the engine and was headed into the yard office . At the same time, I went into the side door of the clerk's office which adjoined the yard office and as I arrived in the presence of the yard master and Mr. Black, I played the tape for them . Pretty funny stuff . Also, about that time was when we first started getting computer printouts for our switch lists . ( Previously EVERYTHING was hand written ) . That was the same time when I had a Radio Shack Color Computer and I learned BASIC computer language . I then made a program that created a random switch list that looked identical to the ones we would get from the clerks or from the remote printers that were out near the tracks in little air conditioned housings . So, one day I had my 3 fake switch lists, hidden in my overalls, and when the time came to get a new switch list, I volunteered to go get it . When I walked up to my two crewmen, I handed them the fake lists . They looked at it for a minute and were totally dumbfounded as the list looked genuine but had no correlating information that related to what we had in the yard ... ( back then all dot matrix printer output looked the same lol )
I lived next to the Southern Railroad line in the early 80s with a view of the tracks from my windows. That was about the time when I first saw the horse on the front. Maybe I saw you somewhere. lol
Great 👍 video today Jaw Tooth very good locations one of my favorites today was the old NS bridge I really liked the emblems on the sides as well as the backside top NSRY that was very good keep up with your great work Jaw Tooth ! 🤩😎🤡🙀😸
Finally!..a DPU puttin in the work! Nice catches runnin hammer time! Oh..that was a "header" on the trailer ahead of the combine. Great video with a really nice finish JT!👍👍💪
Good morning Jaw Tooth 👍👋 great awesome amazing video 🇺🇸👍💣😃💣👍🇺🇸 You americans are very good people and also nice 👋🙃🤪😉🤙🙂😎😃 Greetings from Italy city spilimbergo 🇮🇹🙂👋👋👋👋☀️😊
The crossing at Three Lock Road is a nice location to capture trains. I like the Norfolk & Western markings in the concrete of the bridge abutments on the bridge near Piketon, Ohio. The N&W Ry steel letters on the bridge are relics of the past. There were still C&EI steel letters on the former Chicago & Eastern Illinois Railroad bridge over Interstate 80/294 east of the Thronton Quarry in Thornton, Illinois aq few years ago. I have not paid attention lately when I have driven eastbound on Interstate 80/294 lately to make sure that they are still on the bridge. Usually, I am concentrating on what the traffic in front of me is doing as I am driving on that stretch of the interstate, and I do not have time to look and see if the letters are still there. Thank you for documenting these trains, Jaw Tooth!
Mackowiak, Chicago-area railroad nostalgia's intoxicating. I can remember a major intersection of the east-west B&O, C&O, etc. with the north-south C&EI, L&N, etc. on Chicago's south side when both passenger and freight trains proliferated. Thanks.
@@reginaldgarner4321you are thinking of Dolton Junction in Dolton, Illinois. In addition to the B&O/B&OCT, east/west line crossing the CE&I north/south line, you have the east/west Indiana Harbor Belt line which parallels B&O/B&OCT tracks. Also coming through Dolton Junction in a northwest/southeast direction was the Pennsylvania Railroad's Panhandle line. Currently the B&O/B&OCT line is owned by CSX; the CE&I is jointly owned the Union Pacific and CSX; the Indiana Harbor Belt. The Pennsylvania Railroad line was abandoned and removed years ago. However, there is still a short segment of that line that extends from the steel plant in Riverdale, Illinois to Dolton Junction where the track connects to the Indiana Harbor Belt. This connection allows the hot metal train to come from the steel plant in Riverdale, Illinois to the steel plant in East Chicago, Indiana. Amtrak has passenger service to Indianapolis through Dolton Junction. The Amtrak train uses the joint Union Pacific/CSX north/south line through Thornton Junction. At Thornton Junction the train connects to the former Grand Truck Western now the Canadian National line to Detroit, Michigan. The Amtrak train follows this line to about where Maynard crossing used to be in Munster, Indiana. (This is where the Monon line crossed the Grand Truck line.) The former Monon, now CSX, tracks south to Indianapolis connect to the CN at this point. CSX freight trains on the former Monon line use this connection to go to and from Barr Yard in Riverdale, Illinois via the Canadian National line through Harvey, Illinois where the CSX reconnects with their own line south from Barr Yard to Harvey, Illinois.
@Thomas Mackowiak, actually, I was referring to the old B&O/C&O route on Chicago's south side where it branched off from the southwest lines near Vincennes and 90th-91st Streets and ran east-southeast toward South Chicago and Indiana. I'm fascinated by your knowledge of the railroads and very much appreciate your historical perspective. Keep on...
@@reginaldgarner4321I am not familiar with that B&O/C&O line. I will have to do some research on it. I remember reading about a B&OCT line that the B&O/C&O passenger trains used to get to Central Station that crossed the Rock Island's Suburban Line. I do not remember where that line went. I am going to have to go to the storage facility where we have a bunch of things stored and pull-out John Swajkart's "Train Water's Guide to Chicago Railroads" to look up that B&OCT line. I presume that the line that I am talking about found its way to the B&OCT's line that paralleled the Pennsylvania's Panhandle line and the Chicago Junction's line through Brighton Park, Ash Crossing, 26th Street Crossing and went further north.
@Thomas Mackowiak, that's OK, and thanks for responding. Lots of things in American railroad history changed, unfortunately, when private passenger rail service ended in 1969. Don't wear yourself out doing research. Just enjoy the memories, memorabilia, and networking opportunities!
Awesome video Jaw Tooth 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 and the locomotives and a great place to and the side show is awesome too about 45 mph and watching enjoying too 👍👍😃😎❤
Great video! Had a lot of different stuff. Trains were great as always. Good catch of the train on the bridge. Nice that you found the date the bridge was built. Extra special that you caught the combine and it's cutter! And then to finish up with dogs and kids climbing on logs. Superb!!
Thanks for the another great video! Love all the interesting details like the 1927 bridge plaque. The end segment reminds me of my childhood, spent so many endless afternoons running around barefoot in the field at the end of the street. It was great, most kids miss out on that today 👍
In this case you could say DPU I hear you… it sounded so nice!! 👍 Wow 95 year old bridge and still in service, they built things to last back in the day. Mega awesome video !! 👍👍👍
The concrete rail bridge next to Grissom Air Reserve Base north of Kokomo Indiana has the Penn Central logo cast into the concrete. Rails are no longer there. Great catch!!
Looks like N&W built that bridge to be even wider by the looks of that other half of the bridge abutment. They really were planning ahead. Great job again JT, you are on busy railfan.
When I moved from San Diego to Kalamazoo I used ABF. I just saw some containers in this train at 14:40 with that logo. I bet that’s how my stuff was shipped. I hadn’t even left San Diego when they called and said it was ready for pickup. I wondered how it could get there so quickly and why it was so reasonably priced.
One thing I noticed that BNSF only puts DPU's on the end, never in the middle. One train I saw yesterday was carrying really long telephone poles on those extra long flatbeds. I have a good spot to watch up on a small hill near the rail yard. Someone put up a bench to sit on. Chessie is fun to watch, fearless dog. I would like to do a vote for your favorite You Tube dog. Chessie vs Bella on Daves RV life.
35-40 mph sounds about right. i've paced trains on this line where it runs along the 23 closer to portsmouth at close to 50 mph. i've never driven down that far on three locks before--i'd usually turn up stony creek road back to the 23 and chillicothe. i'd imagine traffic on the CSX (ex C & O to russell, KY) is not much anymore. it was sparse when i live in chillicothe forty years ago, and it was still just a few trains a day last time i visited in 2017. the N&W emblem embossed into the concrete bridge is VERY cool--i always thought the N&W had a certain class and elegance about them. thanks for posting these videos from my old stompin' grounds, Jaw Tooth. keep 'em comin'!
The fascists call allocation of funding for proper infrastructure “socialism” and fight it tooth and nail along with the oligarchs who fund them and the radical right wing propaganda machine that convinces the uneducated that taxing the rich is evil.
That N&W railway bridge is a piece of railroad history that’s still in use what a testament to those that constructed it, including that 1920,s built bridge for automobile traffic, both well built., built to last. That DPU on the first train was working very hard helping keep that train moving, nice site a sound. That combine Is an impressive piece of equipment, wow. Thanks for sharing JT, appreciate all u do.👍🏼
93 cars on the first train. 158 cars on the second train. 64 on the next train. I liked that N&W RW bridge. About 80 on the next one with the double stacked containers on it.
I was always curious if the vacant area on the abutment was for a rail line that USED to be there and was removed, or was planned for a future line beside it when it was built but was never built.
Hello Brian as usual another awesome site love those N&W logos on the bridge concrete day before yesterday we had a train derailment in Sandusky Ohio I went out yesterday and filmed the aftermath of the damage It's amazing how fast they got them rails replaced and the trains were running yesterday check it out Again awesome video you put out there today 73 Mike N8rbi
Hey Jaw Tooth, love the train videos, I am a HUGE train and Thomas the Tank Engine fan, I especially love the Thomas videos, you are an amazing RUclipsr, also is possible to get a shout out by you in your next video?

Good morning!
That bridge was built eight years after the great war WOW JAW Tooth. Thanks again. From New York
Thank you mr jawtooth awsome footage on the bridge
That was really cool that the bridge had all that lettering. It's when RRs had pride!
They are always moving fast on that line. Former D.T.& I line ran along side and they never let the grass grow either....

Super top video, very good, have a nice day my friend!
Merci beaucoup pour cette très belle vidéo ! ✨✨✨✨👍Thank you very much! 🙏
ChainsawN&W1218, booking and highballing,nice to see the N&W logos on the trestle, there are some up in Roanoke VA I'm wanting to get on film!
I love that humming sound a fast moving Intermodal makes.
3:52 Looks like somebody is living in a VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER !
I saw that. I thought maybe they were fishing or camping. With the housing Situation they way it is you might be right !
I wonder if they got some government cheese ?
Great 👍 video today Jaw Tooth very good locations one of my favorites today was the old NS bridge I really liked the emblems on the sides as well as the backside top NSRY that was very good keep up with your great work Jaw Tooth ! 🤩😎🤡🙀😸

That would be cool! I'm trying to figure out when I can get up there but I need to do that soon before it gets cold
You always find some great locations. That N&W logo in that concrete is really cool to see. Great catches! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
cool old rebuilt SD70 on that first train, and agree, looks like that neat old N&W bridge is likely from the early 30s - thx for the vid sir
Thanks for watching!
Thank you very much for sharing your work, another great video. Liked the bridges. Happy railfanning, my friend.
Thank you very much!

Very cool video Jaw Tooth amazing wow wee thank you keep up the fantastic work !!
Thanks! Will do!
that second train the DPU was working extra hard. 158-161 cars
Another cool location an you got your DPU fix. Neat builders plate. Liked it much, thank you sir.

Those trains were bookingis right, I'd say 50-55. Loved the double stack. Beautiful area. See the leaves changing. I miss that. Thanks great catches.
Thanks 👍
Thanks for this video.
Chessie seems to know that she's the boss.
Thanks for watching!
Hey Jaw Tooth, just letting you know I love your videos and watch them everyday. I loved trains as a kid and still do. Keep 'em coming.
Thanks! Will do!
Awesome video Jawtooth! Cool area! It's always cool to see a train but unique area's like you find make them so much cooler! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you very much!
Yet another excellent video - Thank You. Do like to see DPUs as these aren't used on this side of the pond! 🙂👍
You bet!
That was cool. Don’t remember seeing this location.
Thanks for another great video Jawtooth
Godspeed.

Cool catch of the NS
Great bridge shot. Hope to see more there.
for sure! I love that area. Its very rural and peaceful once you get away from Rt23
Like 92 beautiful video, greetings 🚂👍🙋♂️
Many thanks!
Those dump trucks are very interesting examples of what's permitted by different states. Four tag axles on the blue one!
The concrete rail bridge next to Grissom Air Reserve Base north of Kokomo Indiana has the Penn Central logo cast into the concrete. Rails are no longer there. Great catch!!
Must be one of the longest lasting relics of that unfortunate company! 😁
Them bad boys don't waste ANY time getting to the next red light on that line!
The fastest train that I have clocked so far was on this line. I think it was 59
Great location and video. Those are probably the biggest dump trucks I've ever seen. Thanks.

Looked like the Engineer has it in the Big Gear...speed ? Guessing 35. Thanks for the Great vids.
You bet
They emptied the yard for that'n son!
The CSX line you mentioned must be the old C & O line between Russell Kentucky & Columbus Ohio
Yes, that is it. When I am on that bridge at the end you can see it. I did get one train on it and it will be in another video in a few days or so
Great video Jaw Tooth Love the DPU . Have a great day . sincerely Andrew Macintosh.
Thanks! You too!
@@JawTooth Thanks Jaw Tooth
nice movin a good speed today I see
Yes, thanks
35-40 mph sounds about right. i've paced trains on this line where it runs along the 23 closer to portsmouth at close to 50 mph. i've never driven down that far on three locks before--i'd usually turn up stony creek road back to the 23 and chillicothe.
i'd imagine traffic on the CSX (ex C & O to russell, KY) is not much anymore. it was sparse when i live in chillicothe forty years ago, and it was still just a few trains a day last time i visited in 2017.
the N&W emblem embossed into the concrete bridge is VERY cool--i always thought the N&W had a certain class and elegance about them.
thanks for posting these videos from my old stompin' grounds, Jaw Tooth. keep 'em comin'!
Good morning from New Orleans la
Good morning from east central Indiana.
Wow, this is a cool area. You don't see too many railroad crossings by a bridge. And those trains give me an adrenaline rush. Have a nice day ☺️

Send all those gondolas to SW Florida. We need them for all the scrap metal caused by Mr. Ian.
Nice location you have a knack for finding the coolest locations thanks again for sharing
Glad you enjoyed
Great video JT. All of those trains were booking.. that is a real nice spot to watch trains.
Thanks 👍
❤️👍
I wish that they would build infrastructure to last , like they used to . BTW that "blade" is called a "header" .
Got to have something to inspect and repair every couple of years for the bureaucracies to continue to grow into bloated monsters.
The fascists call allocation of funding for proper infrastructure “socialism” and fight it tooth and nail along with the oligarchs who fund them and the radical right wing propaganda machine that convinces the uneducated that taxing the rich is evil.
It's more profitable for them to avoid capital investment.
Fantastic locations love the bridges. Great video thanks.
Amazing freight trains and farm! Hey Brayson! How are you? Long time no see! :)
Hey, thanks!
@@JawTooth You're welcome!
That was 40- 45 feet of bean eater on that trailer. Looks like the makings of a big bonfire.
Great DPU! Working hard :) It's a no-nonsense bridge - straight steel and I think your guess on when it was built is about right.
Good video jawtooth
Thanks!

Good video Jawtooth
Thanks!
That N&W railway bridge is a piece of railroad history that’s still in use what a testament to those that constructed it, including that 1920,s built bridge for automobile traffic, both well built., built to last. That DPU on the first train was working very hard helping keep that train moving, nice site a sound. That combine
Is an impressive piece of equipment, wow. Thanks for sharing JT, appreciate all u do.👍🏼
No defects? What about all those square wheels I'm hearing?
I like train videos videos on RUclips jawtooth 👍
The longer you spend on the road (or rails) the less time you have to spend at your destination
that 3rd train was heading toward kenova wva up the ohio river
93 cars on the first train. 158 cars on the second train. 64 on the next train. I liked that N&W RW bridge. About 80 on the next one with the double stacked containers on it.
I was always curious if the vacant area on the abutment was for a rail line that USED to be there and was removed, or was planned for a future line beside it when it was built but was never built.
Wow, never had seen the extended height gondola hopper cars before. Cool!
Thanks for watching!
Don't see 2 many by a bridge nice 👍 I'm guessing 4346 have a great day
Thanks, you too!
Hello Brian as usual another awesome site love those N&W logos on the bridge concrete day before yesterday we had a train derailment in Sandusky Ohio I went out yesterday and filmed the aftermath of the damage It's amazing how fast they got them rails replaced and the trains were running yesterday check it out Again awesome video you put out there today 73 Mike N8rbi
Sounds great! I will check out that video. I didn't hear about that but I haven't been home much lately. 73s KB8JUL
Those trains looked to be doing around 35-40mph. Makes a change to see them moving at speed. Another great location and video, JT 👍
Trains were doing three times that speed 150 years ago.
