Epic video, Mike! High & wide, fallen flag boxcars, Amtrak alright, Biggest pile of rail tie plates ever seen, Dash 2 engine and an absolutely flamin great train meet. You were the man on the spot in this one! Very cool 😎
50 years ago I worked for Queensland Government Railways. One night we had a 5 train cross. The Boss was across the road at the pub having dinner/tea/ supper. I couldn't contact him. One of the trains was the Mail Train. It could not be delayed. The Royal Mail. Going south. preceded by 2 slower goods/freight trains. From the south was a fruit train. Second in importance only to the Mail Trains. Preceded by a slower goods train. I had to reverse the order. There were three tracks and a bit of rail. Also people were bringing in fruit to go south on the Mail Train. And 10 or 12 passenger also going south, with checked luggage. I was booking freight/good and passenger and checked luggage and the Royal Mail. The Boss showed up 10 minutes before the Mail Train was due to arrive. I had 4 freight/goods trains "cut and dried", sts. And a train could NOT pass between the platform and a stationary passenger train. The Mail Train had to come down the mainline into to the passenger platform.There is much more detail and drama; but in the end I pulled it off.
Good im glad you like it I lived in northeast Philadelphia for years so you get trains day and night and the artwork is very nice yes knave and the like it's cool
That’s a big interesting tank on that first CSX! My first time seeing the Amtrak “Big Game Train”! SD40-2 leader on second CSX train! Rare dash 8 leading the third CSX!
Amtrak had a green signal at the beginning of the video then they put it to read and allowed the other train to go.. CSX does this all the time to Amtrak as well as other train companies. It is one of the reasons why Amtrak is always late CP Rail on the other hand they go out of their way to make Amtrak have the wines making their own trains wait
Harrington Rd is the last spot where one has a level crossing on the late, great New York Central, where the classic look of it's 4 track main remains intact. I won't spoil this by saying the outside tracks are running tracks, and not mains, but the lol and spirit are there.
Yes this is one spot where the NYC 4 main track is still around, but I didnt know its the last remaining one. Are you sure about this? I have a pic of the elevated tracks where many of my videos are from, that shows the 4 tracks. Its from the 1940's or 50's. Maybe ill post it on Google +
Good grief, are the rail joints every 10 feet? I wonder how old the outside track rails are. It would have seemed that the train to be held would have been on the jointed rail and the others would have been on the welded rail. But once it got stopped on the main, there was no other choice. CSX has many places where Amtrak gets held up by freights but 5 trains for meets has got to be rare. Good catch.
+gravelydon Thanks for watching and the comment. These rails are the old New York Central New York to Chicago main line. Now the 2 inner tracks are CSX main line and the outer 2 are the North and South control sidings. The sections are 40 to 50 feet each and they have a low limit something like 10 MPH on those
@@jeffreyhueseman7061 I doubt that CWR is for the sidings it's most likely replacement for the main line , they where probably getting ready to do a rail swap and then pull the old stuff out.
Merry Christmas 2020 A.D. I just found your video, its a great present. Hi from Green Bay Go Packers and bring the Lombardi Trophy home!! Orange Schneider containers from Ashwaubenon world headquarters. Help to take care of everyone during Covid 19 pandemic. May GOD Bless everyone of you with a Happy New Year 2021 A.D.!!-!
Какие насыщенное видео, здесь было 5 поездов: два сборных поезда, один стоял, сплотка тепловозов CSX Dash 8 и ES44AC BNSF с контейнерами, и даже пассажирский Amtrak. У одного поезда было что-то большое на платформе похоже на двигатель или турбину🤔🤔🤔👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🇷🇺🇷🇺
Dunkirk NewYork How common are BNSF locomotives in this State? I'm aware that BNSF and UP are dominant in the Western USA, whereas NS and CSX are dominant in the East.
@@anthonycedar7 Well there are 2 of them here. There is track 1 and 2 which are the mainlines, then the n and s control sidings. 7312 is on the n siding which hasnt been used much since the coal fired power plant closed a couple years ago. The S siding is used for crew changes a few times a month. This is one of the very few sections that still exist of the New York Central System 4 track mainlines, most of it has been tore up and or has just the 2 main tracks now
THE DISPATCHER KEPT AMTRAKEFF ROLLIN,,, AMTRAK DOES HAVE VERY HIGH PRIORITY,,, AND THE DISPATCHING CENTER WAS ROLLINGAS ALONG,,,, ONCE THE BIGBBQ BOY FREIGHT GET OUTTA THE WAY AMTRAK CAN HIGH BALL🚦ON CLEAR SIGNALS,,,HIGH BALL
Ching chung chang The siding Amtrak took to run around the freight was too short for the freight to occupy it so they ran the Amtrak down it to get around the freight in front of the Amtrak train in front of the freight. Outside of the Northeast Corridor Washington DC to Boston,Massachusetts which is electrified the freight railroads own the tracks and the freight trains is how they make their money so it is not uncommon for an Amtrak train to be delayed by a freight.
Lol Amtrak is late because fucking CSX seems to want to run freight operations during the day. Here on the Northeast corridor they run at night when there are no Acela's or Regionals on the tracks.
+PRESTIGER33 And yea there are some freight that runs during the day but they schedule it so it doesn't interfere with Amtrak or the MBTA here. Look like they dont give a fuck about Amtrak down there wherever that is.
I don't believe so, there would be no need since DPUs are only used on heavy trains and Amtrak trains are light passenger trains. But would be cool to see though!
+Trent Tilton All the railroads use each others power when appropriate. Just depends on where the power is at a given time. Also some trains start out on one RR and there destination is on another RR territory
sometimes it is an accounting thing, so many road miles in foreign territory (outside the owner's territory) that an equivalent amount of work is required so that it balances out, the engine that does this is called a free runner and can be used and abused until the agreed upon limit is reached.
Back in the old days your locomotive's stayed on your home territory, so when a transfer was done you uncoupled your power and the next road coupled there power on. With the advent of high power locomotive's ( 4500 horsepower and alternating current traction motors which eliminated traction motor brushes ) locomotive maintenance became better from every 30 days to every 60, 90 to 148 days before a locomotive has to visit a shop for maintenance, replacing fuel filters, oil filters air filters etc.. The railroads realized they could operate the power straight through from originate point to terminate point be it 500 miles or 3000 miles. Now you half to keep track of how many miles your locomotive's run on other railroads so the created the free runner locomotive's which run off the miles you owe to another railroad. The railroads save a lot of money by not having to change power, just crews. Seeing as the average train now uses only two locomotive's with AC drive and 9000 horsepower that uses less fuel. With 24 traction motors that previously took four locomotive's to move the same size train. Now you move that train faster and easier with AC drive locomotive's, the engines now shut themselves down when not in use to save fuel and the GE locomotive's use an electrically driven air compressor rated at 312 cubic feet of air a minute where EMD still runs the air compressor from the main engine by a drive shaft. Far less investment and a lot less fuel and oil consumption.

BIG 🐎 HORSES KEEPING THE WAGON TRAIN ROLLIN ACROSS AMERICA
The horse is on a Norfolk Southern train, not CSX.
🤦🏾♂️
Unbelievable catch!!
AMTRAK clanging along on that jointed rail.
Yes those are old New York Central rails there
?
@@bubba123valderas A modern train using the old jointed rail from the 1960's. Rail no longer has joints. It is continuous.
Short lines still use jointed rails it's mainly class 1s that don't unless maybe for some sidings for their customers.
Fantastic video Mike! That’s was the best train meet ever!
Thank you very much!
Iam mike b in upstate ny i love trains videos
Nice! CSX ES44AH 3097 (1st Train) almost sounds like NS 8101's Horn!
Thanks love all dee trains, CSX perhaps need four tracks again, also on Ohio/PA border, Cwr, and cement ties?
Good im glad you like it I lived in northeast Philadelphia for years so you get trains day and night and the artwork is very nice yes knave and the like it's cool
That’s a big interesting tank on that first CSX!
My first time seeing the Amtrak “Big Game Train”!

Rare dash 8 leading the third CSX!
@ 1:06, the Iron Lungmatic 2000.
I love your videos so much wide world of trains and also nice video
Thank you very much!
Busy, busy little place. Too bad every rail fan doesn't have a little place like this to call their own.
Ted Cartwright It does get busy here, plus NS line in 1/2 mile from here
Dunkirk NewYork Harrington Road?
@@Gradeau Yup
Nice catches my Friend.
Hey there my friend, I'm glad you enjoyed it

It is one of the reasons why Amtrak is always late

Like #423, subscribed. Nice Catches! 👍
Big meeting. Great catch.
Enjoyed this video so cool
One reason Amtrak is late is mostly freight railroads like BNSF, CSX and Norfolk Southern always play mind games to the Amtrak trains
nice video merry Christmas good video great video ☘☘☘🌹🌹🌹🌲🌲🌲
HEY! You can't count the "Big Game Train"! They ain't hammered yet!
6:16
Cool video and catch and locomotives very cool.

Yes, there are other places where the old NYC is still 4 tracks, but I think it is the only level crossing in a rural setting.
cmdrflake Ok thanks. I remember when this area had much more of the 4 tracks, and the Nickle Plate had 2 instead f the one that NS has now.
Hi train guys mikeb in upstate ny ilove train videos

Damn that place is busy.
It is thanks for watching
Hi trains guys im mike ilove trains videos
Maşallah diyelim çok fazla yuk treni
trenleri yolları ayrı sanırım
Cool meet!
Where is this
Amtrak should get priority
Unless they build there own tracks not on one's freight RRS own.
Good grief, are the rail joints every 10 feet? I wonder how old the outside track rails are. It would have seemed that the train to be held would have been on the jointed rail and the others would have been on the welded rail. But once it got stopped on the main, there was no other choice.

try every 39 feet, also looks like they are upgrading the sidings to continuous rail
@@jeffreyhueseman7061 I doubt that CWR is for the sidings it's most likely replacement for the main line , they where probably getting ready to do a rail swap and then pull the old stuff out.

did you make tgis catch in tx or ok? along the flyer route?
1:50: LMAO No hammer! How about a crow bar?
+Bill Fallon Thanks for watching
Glass or fiberglass lined hopper it will shatter if hit with a hammer
now, was that third train led by an SD40-2,, emd 645 on full power?
Yeah.
Could've been in notch 5-6 usually they would roar way louder than that.
I've always wondered bout the one single track that's all curvie
Aw man, I missed the candy store opening
Guy in the train
Lol thanks for watching
Np man 😎👍

Does this happen often in this location? I know in the Buffalo area it can become a parking lot.
hey doesn't CSX have a rule
Blow the horn when you pass a stopped train?
Good stuff.

que chido video de trenes
+Raul Pacheco cardona Thanks
+Dunkirk NewYork de nada
Wide World of Trains great place to catch the action my man
Ya toy aqui
I hate when Amtrak has to wait for slow ass freight trains
Yea it happens though
Amtrak runs on tracks owned by freight companies. Usually they get priority because they own the tracks
Because there's like alot of people in there making the fright slow
Freights more important.
Ya you should have even more than 3 million sub's actullay
12:12 I just pause there because it looks like the CSX C40-8W is talking to CSX SD60I
Wow yeah I didn't notice it before. Thanks for pointing that out
Wide World of Trains NO problem
At 12:27, CSXT Q008 with the CSXT 7312 using the jointed siding. How often is this track used?
Mostly just for crew changes now, it was used more a couple years ago when the coal cars used to park there several times a week
How recently have you seen it used?
@@anthonycedar7 Well there are 2 of them here. There is track 1 and 2 which are the mainlines, then the n and s control sidings. 7312 is on the n siding which hasnt been used much since the coal fired power plant closed a couple years ago.

When the B40-8’s were still in service now a few of then sit in Storage
Harrington Road
Thanks for watching
That looked like the only grade crossing over 4 tracks.
at 1:06, what the hell was that thing on the flatbed?
+xXCreeper boyXx Looks like a thermal heat transfer device
+Dunkirk NewYork ok thank
Alsome!
Tiene mucho transito de trenes en donde es?

+Tejasnite Thanks for watching
+Dunkirk NewYork HEY THANK YOU FOR YOUR AWESOME TIME SPENT FILMING
They got quadruple track and they're Running Amtrak down Jointed Rail that's some crap
I can understand THE freight has mega tonnage,,, so solid LARGE rail is the safest,,, for the freight,,,
Ching chung chang

Outside of the Northeast Corridor Washington DC to Boston,Massachusetts which is electrified the freight railroads own the tracks and the freight trains is how they make their money so it is not uncommon for an Amtrak train to be delayed by a freight.
One of the trains where very squeaky
What is with the Park train?
Lol Amtrak is late because fucking CSX seems to want to run freight operations during the day. Here on the Northeast corridor they run at night when there are no Acela's or Regionals on the tracks.
+PRESTIGER33 And yea there are some freight that runs during the day but they schedule it so it doesn't interfere with Amtrak or the MBTA here. Look like they dont give a fuck about Amtrak down there wherever that is.
+PRESTIGER33 CSX runs day and night around here, about 80 trains a day
Dunkirk NewYork Shit that's crazy
+PRESTIGER33 I have the radio on all the time and hear them day and night. I think its more than 80, CSX said thats how many about 5 years ago
Dunkirk NewYork Im guessing this is Newyork by your name because it makes sense of there so much traffic there
Where does train 48 go to and from?
+Big T NY to Chicago
Rode on that one and loved it.
CSX & Amtrak Meet
Does AMTRAK have DPU'S Like most freight trains?
I don't believe so, there would be no need since DPUs are only used on heavy trains and Amtrak trains are light passenger trains. But would be cool to see though!
Where is this?
35 miles south of Buffalo NY
what's with all the freight trains
Lots of traffic that day
how does a CSX mixed with the BNSF I never really understood that
+Trent Tilton All the railroads use each others power when appropriate. Just depends on where the power is at a given time. Also some trains start out on one RR and there destination is on another RR territory
