    Great videos, thank you. I’ve loved street-running trains since I was a kid with free access to both the Rock Island and Missouri Pacific RR yards. My Dad worked for the “MOPAC” and my Scout Master/Youth Pastor worked for the “ROCK” and we were taught the dangers of trains and rail yards. Some of my happiest memories growing up we spent in those two rail yards. Neither I or my three brothers were ever injured in all our times in the yards. Vietnam was way more dangerous than those rail yards ever got and a whole lot less fun. Love the 23,boxcars in NS’s NS20. Enjoy watching the future railfans playing and watching.

      This is why parents need to watch their kids playing outside if they live right next to the tracks. And if something were to happen of course they would blame the railroad for hitting the kids when they should be watching them to make sure they are playing safely around the tracks

Dont remember the name of the town, but the Nickel Plate Road ran right down the middle of the street.

      @@therailroadtiespiker My guess would be corruption. The RR figured out that down the street was the cheapest point A to point B solution and they made promises of tax revenue, community investment, etc. to the city leadership. Plus the usual political campaign contributions. This happens frequently with sports stadiums in large cities like Miami where the city (i.e. local taxpayers) often ends up footing part of the cost as a bond. The residents of the city never seem to benefit unless one considers more traffic a benefit or being able to sell hot dogs and beer in the stands. :) In fact, the price of homes close to the stadium can actually be driven down because people don't want to live next to that mess and it becomes hard to sell a house.

    Not safe at all but that being said if you have railroad tracks in your town your kids are play on them when they start getting a bit older like 12 ish or even earlier if they have an older Brother. Railroad owns the property and they have their own lobbyists of course that make it just fine for street running trains through even cities even though people could be harmed or killed. They don't give a shit.
    They will just pay the family of the deceased off and move along. . I hopped trains when I was a kid to get to the village below and above the city I grew up in which is not a city anymore. We lost a lot during my young adult years as the rest belt was already developing by the time I turned 18 in 1976. Of course I did grow up when men were men and most boys were men by the time they were 16 or 17. Now it seems to take them until their 30's to grow up. Sad but true. Nice video, I love trains too!!! I personally think they should have to obey any reasonable request by a municipality and I do not think chain link fence on both sides of the tracks in areas with a lot of housing is unreasonable but that's also a double edged sword for wild life. So what do you do. Hard to chase a deer off the tracks or a bear or anything else if they can't get over the fence. Humans have enough sense to know they can't win against a train. Even kids seem to get it. Big, heavy, not much chance of life after being struck by one and especially after being run over by one.

      That 10 mph speed limit might not work like imagined because diesel electric locomotives don't have automobile style transmissions & there is a minimum speed rating for an amount of time on their traction motors before heat and eventually electrical issues arise.

      Spent 38 years working on a yard engine and the speed limit was not to exceed 10 mph . harrodsburg KY has a main one through he town and the maximum speed is 10 mph. I think your a little off . the time restriction on the traction motor wad not to exceed a certain amperage in a hard pull. Can't remember what it is know .
