    10:21 When I usually railfan at Griffith, IN. I always wonder to myself which way CN Z149-31 will go so I can set up in a good spot (intermodal from Port of Quebec, QC to Markham, IL). Some days he takes the CN Matteson Sub to Matteson, IL and eventually Markham Yard, and other days, he stays on the CN South Bend Sub directly to Markham. I originally thought congestion determined which line he took, but now that you give that explanation, it all makes sense now. Danny teaches me better than school. ❤🚆

    As an aside, the electronic bell seen at the sinkhole segment at 9:00 minutes atop the crossbuck pole replaces, at many grade crossings, the mechanical bell and ringer of earlier days. The electronic bell is licensed for railroad use as a result of a patent which provided for the solid state recording ability of the patent holder's invention, recording audio onto an integrated circuit or chip. I traded his son for the actual railroad crossing bell used for the solid state recording. His son was using the bell as notification of accuracy while using a .22 rifle. This is a true story. The inventor's name is I.D. Sarrell. He passed several years ago. I have one of his banjos.
    12:05 shows a mechanical bell atop the crossbuck pole for contrast.

    The 4-bay ADM hoppers at 8:20 are likely carrying dried distiller's grain (DDG), which is what's left after corn has been fermented to make ethanol. If loaded, they're likely being hauled from an ethanol plant to a cattle feed supplier, as DDG is high in protein. That size hopper is also used to haul things like barley and soy beans. Actually, having confidently asserted DDG, now I'm not so sure. The rough condition of the car sides on ADMX 64194 is typical of DDG use -- despite the name "dried", they can be quite moist and can freeze in the car in winter. Conversely, the black staining down the sides of the following car is typical of soy bean loading -- I think it's from load spillage on the roof that rots and runs down the side of the car. (Yum!)

    My mother-in-law lives in Sebring, and about fifteen (15) years ago, a sinkhole right around the corner from her swallowed an entire house. Today, there is nothing but a fenced off hole where the house used to stand. Sinkholes are scary things, they can open up and swallow whole houses in just a few seconds.

    Dade City to Bushnell evokes nostalgia for me. As child the S line in those parts meant rides to Sarasota on The Silver Meteor. An uncle, Sammy Cruthers, used to switch the train at Wildwood. If we drove, US 301 paralleled the tracks much of the way. Dad would pull off the highway if we saw a train so we could watch it pass.

    That looks like what we call 'pumping' in the road business - not a sinkhole. There is excess moisture under the bituminous and fine aggregate is being pumped out with the moisture by the heavy loading. You can see the wet fines (mud) collected on the edge of the pavement. It will have to be dug up and replaced.

    Sinkholes are o joke in Florida. A few years ago, they were building an elevated expressway between Brandon and Tampa. It was three lanes wide, and was being built in the medium of the existing tollroad. One morning before opening the elevated, one of the support pillars was swallowed by a sinkhole, dropping the elevated roadway onto the existing tollway.

    • @matthewscott5977
      @matthewscott5977 28 дней назад

      The incident you are talking about was over 15 years ago. Also, it wasn't a sinkhole it was a miscalculation in their test core drilling. They thought they had hit bedrock so they put the pilings in and when the roadbed was put on it sank into the ground. They had to tear down that section and put the pilings in deeper.

      Oh for sure, it comes with the job. I still love it, one of the few at my terminal that actually do lol.

    I used to live in Jonesboro, GA, and I model the Central of Georgia Railroad. When we moved from GA to TN I had to tear down my HO scale layout and am planning to build another one pretty soon. All the railroad equipment I see these days are all too modern for my turn of the century railroad. I usually have to build my rolling stock from kits. Cheers from an ex-Georgian in eastern TN

    Nice video. Glad you didn't have any damage from Debby, we didn't have any over in Clearwater either. Looking forward to the next video.
