Last Train Ever On The Railroad Shoo Fly Track! New Main Line, Abandoned RR Track, Norfolk Southern
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- The Temporary Railroad Track Is Now Abandoned! See The Last Train With 5 Locomotives Including A Mid Train DPU. The DPU Was A Union Pacific Locomotive. This is the Norfolk Southern railroad main line that runs from Cincinnati to Chattanooga, Tennessee. A dangerous railroad crossing was replaced with a new railroad bridge overpass. The final train was a good one. Listen to how hard the DPU is working. Right after that train passed at 2:28pm the line was shut down. The track was cut at both ends and then attached to the permanent main line. This video shows some of the construction work. It was difficult to find a good spot to film the work. The first train in this video was filmed at 1:37pm in Walton, Kentucky just a few miles south of the shoo-fly. It was the second to last train to run on the shoo-fly. The work was completed at about 7:14pm and the track was put back into operation. I waited until a little after 9pm when it was too dark to film and then went home. I was hoping to film the first train over the new track but no train came. Shortly before I left there was a local that arrived to work the industrial railroad spur at the north end of the shoo-fly. I filmed that train going down and back up the very steep and tight curves on the spur so look for that video soon. I have no idea when the first train ran over the line but I will film a train on the new overpass soon. Look how much dirt still has to be moved in order to put the new road into use. There is still a lot of work to go on the new roads and grading. We also see a railroad tamper in use and some other railroad maintenance of way equipment. The scene at 11:48 is the north end of the shoo-fly looking south. The scene at 12:27 is the south end of the shoo-fly looking east. The scene at 28:25 is where the old railroad crossing on Richwood Road was located. We are looking west. This video was filmed on July 18, 2022.
Filmed on 4K
Thanks for watching! If you have time, please watch another video of mine to help keep my channel going. Every view helps support my channel. Viewing time helps pay for gas, motels, rental cars etc. I have a list of places that I plan on filming so watch another video of mine if you have the time.

I'll miss seeing the shoefly track updates, but at the same time it'll be neat to see the new track in operation. It's interesting to see them cut in the new track. Thank for sharing!
Ok😅
Finally, the shoefly comes to an end. It's been quite interesting to see what's entailed in building a new railroad route, and using a shoefly as a temporary detour. I can hardly wait until trains start running on the main line.
Wow!!! That last train around the shoo-fly is a four engine “elephant walk”!
RIP shoo-fly, we knew ye well. Probably be a restricted speed area for awhile until everything is final tamped and aligned. Looking forward to seeing the finished product! Thanks for another update, good video.
Yes, I did hear them say that on the radio
Sorry JT, I tend to comment as I'm watching the video. When this project is all wrapped up you should make a condensed video showing what's involved in a "small" RR/Highway relocation project.
Do those MOW vehicles check the track for truing it, making sure it’s squared-up?
They're trued up using laser aligners and tamper/levelers then they run trains over it at gradually increasing speeds and then do a final level/tamp. Got a friend that works for Uncle Pete and that's how they do it. Now having said that maybe NS does it differently.
Progress in motion, for the better. Great video.
Thanks for sharing 👍
At 8:11 there was a former Saskatchewan Pool hopper. They were part of the Canadian wheat exchange in a nutshell. Only seen 1 other that didn't have the logo painted over, so some more history on display in the video.
Good morning to all from SE Louisiana 23 Jul 22.
Good morning
Good morning from SW Michigan
Charlotte Cunningham 👍👍👍👍👍
Michael Hewitt 👍👍👍👍👍
Good Morning, from DETROIT, and SOUTHEASTERN MICHIGAN.
What a great story Brian that you’ve been covering for what a year or so ! Then to watch the last train to go over the Shoo fly
Outstanding!
Great job 👏
Sad day end of the shoefly loss of a great location but still a great video thanks jaw tooth
Thanks 👍
Great Catch!! Thanks for posting!!
Good Saturday morning to you, JT!!
Good morning to you
Thanks for the video and chat. Glad to see the last train on the shoo fly. Thank you for that. Thanks for the pets also. See you on the next!
Our pleasure!
It's been fascinating to watch the shoo-fly, will seem strange when it's gone. Thanks for following it so faithfully and taking such good care of us rail fans! 🇨🇦
Glad you enjoyed it
Awesome documentary here from the start. Thanks for keeping us entertained. Thumbs UP !!!
Thanks for the shoo-fly videos: really interesting. You take care Mr. JT. Regards.
It has been interesting watching the progress of the project thank you for your work nice job sir
Thanks for watching!
On the crossing at the beginning of the video, the track is in a curve of small radius with an important slope. This is best seen with the height of the cars carrying containers stacked in pairs. This gives interesting images and increases the impression of speed of the train.
Good morning 🌄
Good morning !
Great job on this one Jawtooth!!
Good morning Jaw Tooth 😍 hope you are having a great weekend 😀
Good morning!
@@JawTooth Thanks for being my friend ❤️
We saw a little history today thx to you Son ... You make us all proud ... Thx ...
This is some great work by you, JT. Feels like the season finale of a TV show. I'll miss the shoo-fly updates!
I will make a video showing trains on the new overpass
Good morning. Looks like they emptied the yard. Thank you for documenting the shoo-fly
Thank you too
Farewell but looking forward to seeing lots of action on the new teach thanks again and have an Excellent weekend Jaw Tooth.
Thanks, you too!
wow, finally... it's been a while you have been on to this area.
Im gonna miss these shoo-fly videos! Thanks for keeping us up to date on the work.
Glad you like them!
And then it was gone with only one witness recording. Great to have captured the final train which zipped right thru. Projects like the change over are pre planned with manpower and machinery in places an ready to go. In fact this weekend and the past weekend WI DOT & UP were going to install the new bridge over US 41 in Wauwatosa WI resulting in a 54 hour road closure but T-storms cancelled that. For the last NB stack train @ 2:05 note the demoted NS Roadrailer just like the old Thoroughbred set out to pasture. So the cycle goes
Thank you for documenting this historic day at Richwood, Kentucky on 18 July 2022, Jaw Tooth! You captured the last train over the shoo-fly! It was amazing to watch the workers cutting the shoo-fly and connecting the mainline to the new bridge. The operators of those CAT machines really know how to maneuver them to do what they need to do. Too bad you were not able to see the first through train across the bridge. I am looking forward to seeing the local train going into the industrial park to deliver cars to customers. The industrial spur looks like it is a sharp curve coming off the mainline. But that could also be an optical illusion because of angle of vision from the point where you were standing when you shot the the industrial spur.
The Workers on this Shoo Fly made plenty of Cash 💰on this Project. You also Benefited with many Videos. You’re a Smart man, Brian. 👍🙏
Right on
They work like a highway crews one working and the other supervisors or more chief than Indians have a great day and God bless from GA
Each one of those guys have a job to do. Some are supervisors and engineers, not all may be doing physical work at the same time.
On state and federal projects, there are inspectors for inspectors, it's ridiculous. They are easy ro spot, always have brand new shiny PPE.
@@bobgallo3775 And some of them may have to wait for job A to be done before they can do job B.
Hey Jaw Tooth Why Is Only One Guy Working And The Other Guys Are Standing Around?😁😁😁😁😁😁🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wish you couldve got the first train on the new track as well. Great video!
Me too! I gave it a try
Enjoyed viewing the trains and the taking out the shew fly setting new tracks.
The movement of freight by trains is amazing and working with heavy equipment to improve maintain track is a task taken for granted.
Thank you for your videos.
Thank you very much!
This is definatly history in the making. One of the most facinating areas I've ever seen.This area will look so nice when it's done. Looking forward to the next video. Have a nice day 😊🌈
Couldn't agree more!
"Shoo fly don't bother me, for I belong to somebody." From the song.
To Jaw Tooth, thanks for the shoo fly videos and all you do for us.
Awesome video keep up with a great work and be safe out there.
pretty cool stuff , interesting on how they dismantle tracks
What a slice of history. Thanks for documenting the construction and the Shoo-Fly. I’m so grateful you documented the final train going over. One hundred years from now people will be referencing your videos like we reference old photos. Awesome and thank you for your dedication, Jaw Tooth!
Out standing video. Seeing the progress you have documented over a period of time.
Looking forward to the future videos.
Much appreciated!
Happy Saturday Freind 🚂
Hello Diego!
@@JawTooth
Great Video as always Brother Brian on the cutover 😊🇺🇸
Thanks 👍
The shoefly has always been fun to watch, and thanks for sharing the progress on it. Anyway Great Video.
Do I detect a hint of sadness in your voice? I believe I do... I myself felt a "tear" forming. Memories...
Thanks for documenting that project. It was fun following along.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Jaw Tooth! Great video! The end of the shoo fly. That locomotive NS #1047 gets around. I’ve seen that engine in other people’s RUclips videos. Have a great day!
Thank you very much!
Thanks for the up date on the fly. So cool. They have so much work to do yet. It's going to look good. Stay safe.
You bet
That must be kitty's favorite chair. Jessie is never far. I really enjoy the slides, especially the ones showing the engines when they frist roll past you.
Shoo fly....be gone...Now that's a day's work on the railroad !!
Another great train video. I just wish Yotube would keep more of your older videos around. I'd like to go back to watch more of them. Keep up the good work.
Thank you very much! They are on my channel but they are not easy to find. You have to scroll through the videos
RUclips doesn't delete old videos. As JT says, you just have to scroll. (Which is a crappy interface, but they are there.)
@@JawTooth I've scrolled back as far as youtube will go. I'm sure you've been posting much longer than I've been watching. All the ones I see I've already seen.
Disregard....I see what they do. I just keep forgetting to click on your channel inside the videos themselves. Thanks for replying :)
Thanks for that series on the shoe fly. I will miss the drivers getting the whips out on the engines as they book thru! 👍👍👍👍👍
Glad you like them!
Weird, but I'll miss the shoo fly when it's gone 😉
Good morning
Morning!
Every crew has watchers and doers. Lots of big decisions! Thanks JT
Thanks for watching !
Farewell Shoo Fly, and thank you for your service.
Awesome video Jaw tooth. I believe I saw the triple crown trailer. Nice UP DPU in the Manifest. I'll miss the old shoo fly.😰😰😰😰😰😰😰
Goodbye Shoo Fly…. Great video Jaw Tooth. Looking forward to the next video with the first train on the new tracks 👍👍
Thanks for watching !
I am surprised that you didn't catch them doing the thermite weding the track
Nice to witness the end of the shoo-fly. Looks like a well thought out job of the change over. Plenty of guys on site to cover any problems and the tamper and ballast regulator on hand as soon as they got the tracks connected. A great professional job done by all the team.
It's almost 20 years since I was working on permanent way jobs with on track machines, cranes, tampers and regulators. Before it all went mechanised it was guys with shovels, ballast forks, and jacks, packing ballast by hand to get a good top on the track ready for the first train to run over the new road.
Enjoyed every minute and would love to do it all over again!
Thanks for yet another fantastic video. You were really lucky to be there as the new track went down and to see the last train over the temporary road. Well done J. T.!
Excellent video, a fitting finale to the shoefly saga! Quite the project those people have going, be great to see the totally finished product. You've got my vote for a return visit. Until then, thanks for everything you do! Your patience and perseverance has got to be legendary!
Thank you very much!
I sit here watching them tear apart the shoo fly they built not all that long ago and I think it's cool but sad to watch the destruction as opposed to the construction. We do get to watch the tamper at work and the ballast brush too :) Cool!
Wow, the first SD70-2 sounded so cool; from the horn to the notched out power! 😊
Just "SD70". Everything from the SD50 onwards were built to Dash-2 standards from new and they don't include the "-2" in the mode number.
Ohhh! The end of the Shoo-Fly! Has been a Great series of videos. Great Job!! Thank you very much Mr. Jaw Tooth! 😀👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
You're very welcome!
Great job JT, giving us “live action” from both ends!!!
Thanks for watching Ken!
Thanks for the memories of the shoefly gone but not forgotten
thanks for watching !
Great video JT. Interesting to watch the cut-in process. Those equipment operators have serious skill!
Thanks 👍
Thanks JT for what seems like the final installment of the shoo-fly. Hope you get back to see some of the work on the road section.
That's the plan!
Thanks a lot for the shoefly coverage JT! You were working a lot harder than some of those rail workers!
Thanks for the "milepost" report on the Shoo-Fly. I have enjoyed all the videos on this project!
Glad you enjoyed it!
That old Komatsu excavator was cool to see, as there isn't too many older units like that in operation anymore.
It's always cool to see the semi trailers on flat cars. I see many Canadian National container trains daily as I live a couple hundred feet from the main line in Burlington Wisconsin. Another great video.
Very cool!
Neat to see them working on that Shoo-Fly... ready for the next train, back on the main !!
Keep up the good work... Awesome VID !! 👍 👍
This truly is a railfaning channel. Laying track is the most important part! Without the track crews, there would not be any tracks. Without the tracks there can be no trains. No trains, no rail fans.
Great video J.T. love seeing all of the things that are a part of railroading! Well maybe not what the office people do. But it would be interesting and different if you could do a segment on what the dispatchers do, and how they control the trains.
Thank you very much!
I wonder if those switches were made locally at Progress Rail. I seen a switch on a switch car in Sharonville yesterday.
That overpass will be nice when all the roadwork is finished.
thanks for the share JT!
Thanks for watching!
Great complete Shoo Fly Video Log. Fanstic last train run coverage. Now onto new horizons.
Many thanks!
Thanks JT this was real intresting seeing equipment thats used for removing and installing track. Sorry to see shoe fly disappear but it was bound to happen. We had the same problem here. An under pass was needed to many accidents with Santa Fe trains people just dont get it .youll lose everytime if you tangle with trains great video 👍👍👍as always.
Awesome video Jawtooth! I was hoping you'd catch the last one through the Shoo Fly! It will be cool to see the first one across the new track also! I'm going to miss the Shoo Fly but that's still a great spot, it will be cool to finally see traffic going under the bridge when they get it finished also! Thanks for sharing the Shoo Fly with us! We'll have good memories of it!
Awesome video, yes they finally finished the shoo-fly. Alot of work remains.
Pretty cool 😎…Looking forward to seeing trains booking through on the new overpass!
Thank you for your excellent behind the scenes exposé and commentary on railroad operations. Awesome job.
Thank you very much!
Kuul to see this on the home stretch. What a massive project. Years to complete. Guy with a sledgehammer trying to kill the sleeper and rail.
Great Video! Glad You got the Last 2 Trains On the Shoefly. Sadly no more Shoefly Updates
Yeah me too. I will get one of the first trains over the bridge
Awesome. It's been great seeing the shoo-fly progress and now to be there at the end! Thanks Jaw Tooth!
No problem!
Good job, JT. Look forward ro more .
Thanks 👍
I like to live in that house on the first train you filmed what a rail fan spot !!
The construction site way too many white hats & very few labours. Shame on the railway. Same in every work place. Too many foreman’s & not enough workers. Same in my work place. I’m a heavy equipment technician one man job trying to keep 13 men running equipment operating.
Great video again jaw tooth another thumbs up from this viewer !!
Cheers man!!!
Great video and tutorial abt the last train running the old track at the SHOO FLY! Those guys have worked hard to get it done and to be put in service. It'll be neat seeing NS trains on the new addition and to see some switching on the new spur.
Enjoyed watching those trains fly around those curves on shoo fly .
Thanks 👍
Great video I liked it nice half hour show 👍😃
Thanks for the visit
The grand finale for the shoefly was a good one!
That was awesome to watch Jaw Tooth, thanks for capturing it. Now that the shoo-fly is no more, what is the next big project you'll film?
Good question! I'm wondering the same thing.
Thanks for all the updates on the shoefly can't wait to see the first train go over also can't wait till it's 100% done as always say safe when filming
Thanks 👍
If you didn't have all them supervisors, nothing would go right.
Fascinating to watch JT. These guys don't waste time, for railroads especially "Time is money" and the road is losing money when the trains aren't rolling.
Great catch jaw tooth. So many people working prevents human error and bread on the table. Go go go
Good Morning Jaw Tooth.
My favorite spot thanks to you, I hope you that you will go back.This video was awesome but no surprise there, you have the best railroading videos on RUclips Brian👍👍👍
Thank you very much!
Excellent story line. Thank you for all your hard work.
Glad you enjoy it!
Hello JT, Nice to see railroad maintenance equipment in action! Keep on keepin' on. 👍👍
Thanks, will do!
Loved watching the end of the shoe fly through its whole history. Thanks, JT!!!
Great video Jaw Tooth . I glad to see it open soon .great catch . Have a great day . Jaw Tooth . Cheers sincerely Andrew Macintosh.
Thanks 👍
Your welcome. You have to a video of the new trains going on that new mianline see how fast they go .
