That flashing green over red was a "limited clear" signal, which means they are preparing diverge or crossover to another track. Before I got on to the railroad, I used to do railroad crew transport for PTI ( Profesional Transportation Inc) and I used to run crews to Toledo from Chicago and I would dog catch In Edgerton and Bryan Ohio. Where you were was a pick and drop off spot. Also that flashing yellow over red is an "Advance Approach" that usually means they'll be preparing to stop at the next signal. Oh yeah and green or "clear" I actually do tell my engineer to hammer down🤣🤣. That last train you filmed was a "key train". That train was in what is called a HTUA (High Threat Urban Area) so those trains have a speed restriction throughout the city or the HTUA. Once it gets into a rural area then it can speed up. There's a whole long story of why this rule applies.
YOU lucky dog... you caught a high balling high priority intermodal switchover... between a tanker train and manifest freight! 👏🏽 👍🏼☺ You have the railfan luck of the Irish! ☺
i just finished watching the january 22 trucking video and headed right over here after hearing you talk about this catch. really awsome footage. well done.
✌👍👍 way cool. I wish the batt in your scanner was up. Your standing right next to the RFID transceiver, and track detectors. The short poll on your side with the long white antenna, and to two short device on the other side pointing up at an angel. I think the Radio uplink antenna is at one of the other equipment huts that talks to the Satellite system to Norfolk control. this was a great catch. Thanks
Hi Steve. Happy New Year to you. The next time you see those Triple Crown trailers passing by, look out for the Conrail symbol on some of them. Conrail was into the Roadrailers as well as Norfolk Southern. Just thought I throw that out to you.
Most of NS tracks are not double track anymore, and east of Edgerton it goes back to single track. The last tanker train is one of the ethanol trains that runs through the area. The train goes east back to Fostoria where I'm from.
Great catch, Steve! You weren't too far from me here in Fort Wayne. A little west of there in Waterloo, Indiana, they have a relocated depot that serves as the Amtrak station and a nice railfanning platform. You should stop and watch the mainline there some time.
on my way home tonight with my f-150 2021 i looked to my right and saw a white suv coming way to fast i looked to my left find a outlet dangt theirs a buck deer ready to aim right at me coming from left i didnt know what to do blond gal on phone she looked right never left i looked left deer was gonna get me.i locked breaks hard she and deer where lucky that the f-150 stopped on a dime scary thing where nothing you can do.but hope for the best outcome
Nice catches of the NS trains and the UP train that went through! Good to see you back FSC after a few weeks. What were you hauling on your truck? Thanks again for sharing this video with us along with your time and effort. Cheers from Delmar, Delaware
Beginning to wonder where you've been! LOL
Great catch and thanks for recording line side signals.

Almost like they waiting for the best time to inconveniences local traffic crossing so that mom will be late for soccer practice

They are putting a lot of faith in the track being set correctly. At that speed there would not be any room for error.
THREE trains at ONE catch!! Unheard of!! Great one, Steve....as always!
Cool brother, great catch
👍
I believe the intermodal trains have priority over other trains. Good catch!
Why?
Those diesel trains are so awesome 😎😎😎😎😎
Real nice .... THREE K5LAR24's in one video .. Sweet sounding ...
Happy New Year everyone
Happy New Year to you too!
Great video Steve nice three trains one stop. Thanks for sharing stay safe Steve.

I believe the last Tank train was hauling ethanol. Couldn’t catch the placard numbers
Very sweet catches!
Great video and 3 great catches!
Back at it again. Can’t wait for more. Safe travels out there.

This stretch break paid off. I saw your other Edgerton video first.
Nice job

I believe it was a feed mixer for cows
That is an ethanol train the first car behind the engines is for safety and the last should a non tanker also for safety
Ethanol train.
Railroads call these cars 'tank' not 'tanker'. Not a big deal, but they are tank cars not tanker cars.
