Years ago I went to the public hearing to extend the railroad and connect it with the other line near Blue Ash. So many ppl showed up to complain about it that my friend decided not to speak. They ruled against allowing the tracks to be reinstalled and reconnected so today they are two different branches
Interesting. Happy to see a caboose on a train again. Question: What makes a crossing exempt and why is it exempt? Also exempt from what? I've never see one of these that I can recall, so very curious as to why they get labeled that way, and what criteria makes them exempt and what are they exempt from?
Exempt means that any vehicle that needs to stop for that crossing doesn't need to. Most go exempt because of little or no rail traffic or very busy roads near intersections.
@@Cozmo2k4 Thanks for the explanation. That makes sense to me now. At first, I didn't quite understand what was meant by it. Thanks for clearing that up. Now I know something new. :)
Sometimes cabooses are used when you have a great deal of shoving (reverse movements) to do; sometimes they are called ‘shoving platforms’. It allows the Conductor/Foreman/Brakeman to comfortably stand looking aft vs hanging off the car. It does require an extra couple moves to place cars because you have to shove past your switch, take it off, pull fwd to place your cars, then come out and reconnect. Also, a caboose isn’t required anymore due to the EOT and better bearings in the wheels....No “fire watch” required or notification that the train broke apart.
That was so cool to see the caboose.....wish it would come back ......GREAT CROSSING!!!!!! never seen that before.....excellent find!!!!! Thanks for the great video!!!!
It's great to see a caboose. When we were kids, I am 52, it was a highlight to see them. I lived on the the West East line of Union Pacific through the Arkansas River Valley near the switchyards at Van Buren, Arkansas. Kids today don't know about the men that rode back there and their job.
Supplement : in Rome,NY the train crosses Highway 49 and E Dominick street. Ca. 10(!) lanes, without barriers ! ! Only traffic lights. (and Horn !📢) There is also street running at business park near by Mayberry Road . That does not seem to be in use .
HOLY CRAP THAT'S AWESOME!!! Never seen a crossing like that! Much less exempt! Right next to the 700 WLW Blaw-Knox Antenna! Used to be a 500,000 Watt Flamethrower!! AND GAS AT $2.29 AT THE UDF!!! Dang, son, you hit the LIVE ACTION TRIFECTA!!! Thanks, Jaw Tooth!!!!
Awesome! I suggested this one for you a couple weeks ago. I live right down the street from this one and it's always cool to watch. Even when I'm in a hurry I don't mind seeing it.
Lived in this area for 20+ years and hardly ever saw a train on this line. Where that shot was at the 5:36 mark is an abandoned switch close by that led to a paper mill on US-42 that has since been closed. The trackage is owned by the LM&M railroad and they had to come all the way up from Monroe on to get to this specific point in Mason.
There are many more towns with traffic lights for trains and/or cars. Often the train runs trough red light ! ! Some examples(with video(s) on RUclips) : Tampa, FL. ### Noblesville, IN.(abandoned)### New Albany,IN.(abandoned)### Augusta,GA### Renton,WA### Modesto,CA.(abandoned)### Yuba City,CA.(abandoned)### Fort Collins,CO### Gretna,LA### Michigan City,IN(electric!)### Bedford,IN.(abandoned)### Gadsden, AL### Columbus,GA### St. Marys, WV. ### Garfield,NJ.(abandoned)### Uniontown,PA.(abandoned)### Hudson,NY . Etc. !!
This is a truly unique crossing and a great video. I didn't notice what causes the highway signals to go back to green, the conductor did not get off to change anything once the train passed the crossing.
Strong little caboose :P...I miss them. They've been gone from around here for about 20 years. Just the stupid signal on back. I know its cheaper and easier but I miss the cabooses.
I was a conductor for a bit in Western NC and we had a 5 mile shove that was always on a boxcar... wish they would have kept a caboose for that! Great video - espec enjoyed listening to the conductor counting down cars =)
Rare to see a caboose still in active service, I spotted a transfer caboose in my small hometown a few weeks ago. Ex central Michigan genesee northern no. 1. It was on the bad axe sub division (also known as huron eastern southern railway or huron eastern) (former Chesapeake and Ohio track)
I might be able to create an N scale corner module that would feature this type of crossing w/ these lights. That would be cool to refer to your video as the inspiration. Love these "unique" conditions videos of yours! If you can, keep going!!
Indeed there is street running in Lewistown, as is also on the list . The dangerous intersection with Highway 322(without barriers ! ! !) is rarely used. Unique video on You Tube. The only customer(?) on this line does not even have a circulation track or yard .
Great catch! Especially only a couple times a week! I like how you pointed out the drivers running the red lights oblivious to everything going on. What type of business was it serving? What short line railway was that locomotive?
There's a couple of factories and a lumber yard to the south. That lumber yard must do a decent business, they get several car loads per week. The rail line is former Pennsylvania now operated by G&W owned Indiana and Ohio. For some reason, oblivious drivers are a common sight in that area.
I live in southwest Ohio and have crossed this crossing several times but never saw a train go across it. Unrealated fun fact...the radio antenna tower nearby is a Blaw-Knox design, one that isn't seen much these days. It's for WLW, 700 AM, one of the oldest radio stations in America. At one time in the 1930s, it broadcast at 500,000 watts of power, the most power out of any broadcaster, but has stopped a few years later due to interference with other radio stations.
Cool video! Although those 2 cars did not run the red light, they were both across the Stop Line (as seen later in the video) and had the right to clear the intersection.
Wow that is a dot traffic light on the right side of the tracks. Would love to see it go green. They have pre emption of the circuit before to turn that light red, or it all may be in the key switch. A sequence to clear out the cars before the rain goes. Love the caboose. Three boats to start. When standing, back. 🚂🙂
I have literally been around railroading all my life, my father was an engineer too. That is the first and only time I have seen or even heard of RR crossing at grade like this one. It’s also the first one I have seen or heard of the train stopping for the cars. It almost like a manual interlocking with block signals between two railroads.
California has garbage roads and they’re traffic ridden nightmares. Nothing good comes from, ever came from, or ever will come from socialism, Marxism, communism, or Bolshevism. You are wrong. You are a shill.
Hardly see a Indiana & Ohio on this line it dead ends to a subdivision on the south end, I go up that way to Dixie Union Station once in a while
Years ago I went to the public hearing to extend the railroad and connect it with the other line near Blue Ash. So many ppl showed up to complain about it that my friend decided not to speak. They ruled against allowing the tracks to be reinstalled and reconnected so today they are two different branches
Was the Row sold of just the tracks pulled up?
Interesting. Happy to see a caboose on a train again.

Dude that was awesome I almost felt like a Time Warp with that red caboose that was so epic good catch have a great day jaw tooth
This crossing looks cool, And I never seen a crossing like this before.
Extremely rare for me to see this type of a setup...even a traffic signal type of a system...for the train itself! Fantastic clip!
Would give just about any thing to see a caboose on all trains again 😁
No thank you very much! What a pain in the behind they usually are. Always in the way.
@Carl Ferrigno Yeah, if can afford it. You're not related to Big Louie (Ferrigno), are you?
Me too!
@@BNSF1458 You & I have about as much of a chance of seeing the return of the caboose as we have of seeing the price of gas dip below the $1 mark.
@@kevinmiller1985 I know, It's so sad :( (My dream is to videotape a caboose, it will probably never happen thoug :( )
Man...I haven't seen an actual Caboose on a train since the early-mid 80's!
Thanks for sharing this! 👍

Train light turns yellow
Engineer: I ain’t no sunday driver I can make it
*speeding up*
I been going over this crossing for years and never seen how it works. Finally got to see how it works. Thanks for the video
I've driven over that crossing many times. Never knew how it worked. Thanks Jawtooth.
Super Fantastic Video!
Wow Jawtooth that was totally awesome thanks for sharing this! Never saw a crossing like this before!

Just awesome and amazing
I tried to film that exempt crossing a couple times recently but nothing came through. I am going to get a new video there soon. I hope lol
You bring some really cool train spotting! Thanks 👍
They didn’t run the light because they were allready passed it.
Or very close. Hard to look straight up at a light.
The car behind the van easily could have seen the light. However, the light is so seldom used, I bet no one really pays attention to it.
There is a stop line (shown near the end), it looked they were in front of it.
They still ran the light..
They must have been communist Chinese - red means GO!
Very cool.
Excellent video! I have never seen a crossing like that before. Thanks for capturing and sharing this!
Nice video!
great Train video my friend!
Great upload and fanhtastic content friend BIG LIKE!!!! ✌✌✌✌✌✌ awesome crossing
Nice catch. Choo choo 🚂🚃🚋🚃🚋🚃🚋🚃🚋
Nice to see a caboose.
That was super cool Brian,that red Caboose.thanks for the video. greetz:Peerke.
Man your not kidding, that was a unique crossing, nice out standing video.
HOLY CRAP THAT'S AWESOME!!!
Never seen a crossing like that! Much less exempt!
Right next to the 700 WLW Blaw-Knox Antenna! Used to be a 500,000 Watt Flamethrower!!

So strange that even SimCity don't allow this
Never heard of an Exempt crossing before. Cool video. I like the orange and black paint scheme on the I&O Locomotives.
That was great. Don't have anything remotely like that in the UK. Thanks for taking the time to do all these uploads.
Love your your videos I love trains
That is a strange crossing! Great work as usual Jawtooth!
Thanks for posting.
That was crazy.....but SUPER COOL at the same time
Good to see you back in my neck of the woods. Great video. 👍👍👍
Never heard of a crossing like that before, extremely unique, and very interesting. Amazing video thank you.
Unique rail crossing and a caboose in active duty. Nice catch.
Wow, that is a strange set up. Thanks for posting Brian, stay safe.
This is awesome and unique usually the engine taking the lead but this classic caboose is running the show
Very neat crossing, thanks for the video.
Very cool jawtooth that was a unique find keep it up and have a nice day

Jeffrey Amlung yep only a few times a week they come through
Fascinating, plus a view of the mighty WLW tower in the background! :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very Cool Have a Nice Day Thank You for the Video
Great catch on the GP50. No But wait there's more? Hahaha. Cool crossing too.
Super awesome train video with the Caboose at the end you get a thumbs up
NICE!!!! :) Very unique, always fun to see something different!
Hi Jaw Tooth!... I love your videos... ✔👍🙂
Great vid as always! Thanks!
That was pretty nifty. Thanks for posting!
Hey. Love your stuff. Fun. There's another "exempt" crossing in OH. Crossing route 30 inside city limits of Wooster, OH. But, NO cabooses, here!!!

The stranger the crossings, The more i find it amusing! My 🐄🔔 ringing @ 5:36 for the caboose & engine together! Perfect! Thanks for sharing!! 😃👌👍😍
Very nice video plus first time i did saw that railroad crossing on this video!!
That’s different for sure!
With a caboose no less!
Live Action......and more!
Great video as always!!!!
👍👍👍👍👍👍
This is a truly unique crossing and a great video. I didn't notice what causes the highway signals to go back to green, the conductor did not get off to change anything once the train passed the crossing.
Thanks for video!!
Love your videos and it's amazing that you u share so much information. Thanks for the extra efforts.
Strong little caboose :P...I miss them. They've been gone from around here for about 20 years. Just the stupid signal on back. I know its cheaper and easier but I miss the cabooses.
Wow super video !!! Saludos desde Argentina 😍👍
Wow that was pretty cool..
Wow, that is a cool crossing, good catch! And that caboose was the icing on the cake
I enjoy seeing cabooses .
I was a conductor for a bit in Western NC and we had a 5 mile shove that was always on a boxcar... wish they would have kept a caboose for that! Great video - espec enjoyed listening to the conductor counting down cars =)
That's awesome! I always wanted a railroad job. Have a great week!
That’s wild, never seen anything like that either. Thanks for sharing
I love the intersection railroad crossings
Great video and catch
Thanks for the upload. Unusual indeed.
That was Cool thanks for makin this video
Very Interesting !!!!!

Awesome video jaw tooth :)
That radio antenna you can see in the background has a pretty cool history too.
Nice video Mason Ohio frieght train is coming has right away traffic signal hear the horn keep up the good work jaw tooth bless you indeed
Awesome crossing action!! Never saw that before!!!
That is the only crossing like that in Ohio with all those different items combined into one
That was Awesome.... Never knew those existed... I learned something new... Thanks for sharing ...
Will be too expensive to install too many crossing gates hehe...thanks Roli
Great videos, both of them. Sure miss those caboose cars.
You and me both! When I was a kid I loved seeing them and going inside of them
That very rare with no level crossing gate wow that cool keep up with the best work buddy Cheers:-)
I might be able to create an N scale corner module that would feature this type of crossing w/ these lights. That would be cool to refer to your video as the inspiration.

I miss the old days, when they climbed on the train while it was moving.

The real surprise here is $2.29/gallon for gas.
