3 Trains Wait To Use Abandoned RR Crossing That Still Functions! 2 Trains At Once & I&O Hard Worker

- Dangerous Railroad Crossing That Was Closed But The Signals Are Still Maintained! Steep Crossing Being Serviced By Norfolk Southern Railroad & 3 Trains Waiting To Cross. Indiana & Ohio Railway Locomotives Work Hard To Pull Train Over Bridge Over Mill Creek In Cincinnati, Ohio. Trains With DPU Locomotives Are Included.
The dangerous level railroad crossing was closed shortly after a Metro bus got stuck on it. This is Elmwood Place, Ohio on the Norfolk Southern main line that is primarily used by NS and CSX for southbound trains. A nearby CSX main is used for northbound trains. An NS maintainer was working on the railroad signals while I was there. 3 trains were waiting to pass to enter Gest Street Yard and Queensgate Yard in Cincinnati, just a few miles south of here. We see two of them lined up and ready to go as the video starts.
The first train to pass is a Norfolk Southern mixed freight. Less than a half hour later another Norfolk Southern train approaches. It had been waiting behind the first train. It was a double stack intermodal train led by a BNSF locomotive. Just before the end of this train passed there was a third train approaching on the other track. This was a huge CSX mixed freight with a mid train DPU. This train was literally two trains in one. You might be able to count the cars on it but that will be difficult. I left after that train and tried to decide where another good place to film would be. I heard a northbound train on the scanner and decided to head over to Canal Ridge which was just a couple miles south.
I got lucky on this train. It was short line railroad Indiana & Ohio Railway with a heavy train heading northbound on the CSX main line. Check out the classic locomotives! An SD50 and a GP38-2 were running long hood forward! Listen to the locomotives as they pull the train past me! That was really awesome. They pull up on the bridge over infamous Mill Creek and stop. They had to wait for the signal. These are ancient Baltimore & Ohio Railroad signals that are still in use. If you look close you can see the lights on the left signal which is for Track 1. The Track 2 signal is on the left and track 3 doesn't use the signals at all here.
As the signal changes the train veers off to the left. The gondola cars are carrying small iron chunks that look like turtles. They load them next to the Ohio River. The covered hopper cars are empty grain cars. The tanker cars are also empty. This was a lucky catch. Btw, Amtrak also uses this track but the Cardinal only makes 3 round trips a week and I have never seen it here since it usually passes in dark. I just caught a couple of other I&O trains here the week before so I have been getting pretty lucky. Some railfans tell me that they never see the I&O trains here. Years ago I also got one of the last circus trains here. I might have got the very last one here also but I would have to check my videos.
Don't forget to see what the Live Action Pets are up to and watch the slide show that came from this video at the end.
Someone told me about the open container at 8:46. I never saw that before. Thanks for info!

Open container at 8:46. I didn't notice that until a couple of ppl told me about it tonight.
My mother and I were at a RR crossing .l saw 5 locomotives on the point.I told her to shut the car off we would be there for a while. I counted 275 cars on that train. We sat there for 15 minutes.
Awesome! You got lucky. I would loved to have filmed that one
Hope all is well! Awesome Videos!@@JawTooth
I remember this one moment that I was in Tennessee, and we see a malfunctioning railroad crossing, and one of the trains were waiting for the crossing to get repaired. That was a very weird day.
Can’t miss those bright pink ONE cars! The springs didn’t seem compressed, so perhaps these car were deadheading to a destination? Lots of HUB GROUP cars, too. Those ingots just shone in the sunlight, didn’t they!? I would have been very surprised if there wasn’t a DPU in that long freight train! What a mixed manifest that second train had. Is there a reason the long hood is forward on some trains? The deep rumble of the locos was awesome. I should think in some cases, you could feel the rumble.
@@JawTooth Nice to know kids still count cars like I did
Good morning everyone
Hi, Jonathan
God bless you and merry Christmas, Jawtooth!
The Indiana & Ohio footage is remarkable, JT. Audio, FYI, was impeccable...those classic EMD's (SD50-3 5021 nee-B&O 8588, and GP38-2 3542 nee-MP 921) could not have sounded better...headphones / "earbuds" are a "must"!! When I was much younger (as an HO modeller), an SD45 (no SD50's at that time) "ruled" my basement layout (and...yes...I ran it "backwards", i.e. long-hood-forward)!! Thanks for that wonderful segment. 😊👍👍
My year and a half old grandson love trains, and he likes your videos.
Awesome! Tell him thanks for watching and I hope he becomes a Railfan also. My channel will always be family friendly
Good Morning Brian!☀️
I hit a steep RR crossingon my old Triumph Tr-6 and it catapulted me up in the air like Evil Knevil.I went so high this girl who was walking down the road looked up at me as l sailed past her. I remember looking down at her.l managed to land in one piece.
Wow . I’m glad you weren’t hurt
I wouldn't try that on my Harley Geezer Glide! It' wouldn't end well...
Love that shot of those two trains sitting side by side.
Thanks Steve!
@@FabianDiazTrainsTrucksNCars Lol, thanks for watching!
Great LONG trains JT!!! Really enjoyed seeing the I & O. Also the Burlington Loco. Definitely a great day to catch trains!! Thanks for all the miles you travel to bring us the rails! Until next time!!!
Love the very long trains. Keep up the good work and GOD BLESS ALWAYS
Thanks, you too!
Excellent video JT! You caught some fabulous long trains, the intermodal and mixed freight, and what I believe is the longest I&O I've seen. Love action with the pets at the end rounded out the day. Thanks 👍 JT. I sure appreciate your sharing with us. I'm trying to limit my comments so you don't have to acknowledge so many. 😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you very much! You can leave as many comments as you want. The more the better
I love seeing trains long hood forward. When I was a kid, they used to run them this way all the time. I guess the engineers were old steam guys back then who preferred to be in the back of the locomotive.
Thanks for watching! I filmed one today running LHF doing street running
Foreign power, DPU icu, bright pink ONE containers! Great video as always JT!
Yes! Thank you!
13:20 - Brand new tank car. Nice!
As for the crossing maintenance; as far as I know, if a passable traffic lane or lanes exist, even though it may be closed to traffic, the crossing warning system must be maintained by the railroad. Since the railroads cannot remove any portion of a public thoroughfare, they are stuck footing the bill for this maintenance until the state or municipality actually removes the physical road surface. It's a bum deal for the railroads, but they get a lot of those.
Really loved those ingot cars - that's an easy model railroad load to make. Great bonus for me!
Canal Ridge is one place I want to get to and measure things out so I can model that area too. Would make a nice visual on the pike.
Thanks again for another fantastic video, son! LOL!!
Let God be your guide and your rewards will be high.
27:21 27:23 That NS looked brand new. Cool. Beautiful day for filming. Love this.😊 Nice BNSF and piggy backs. Love them.Making my day ❤ Looks like new trailers no graffiti.Tjat other train slipped up on you on the other side oops!I am glad I got to see a DPU. What a long train 😮😊That is one exciting thing I like about train watching is listening to the sound of their engines. ❤loved this video and your fur babies Mr JT❤😊
Funny how the conductor of the NS train waved for the trackside maintenance guy but closed his window for you
From the rail road's perspective, as long as the crossing exists, the signals must be maintained. When the city or county, or who ever is responsible comes out and digs up the asphalt, puts in a curb and a guard rail and officially removes the crossing, the lights and gates have to continue to operate because the wind could knock down those "barricades" or someone can come out and move them making them useless... Besides, a couple little signs aren't going to stop a determined driver or pedestrian looking to take a short cut.
It's the railroad who removes the crossing, not the highway department. The crossing is railroad property, only they can put in a crossing, replace a crossing or remove it.
No, the issue is that removing the crossing requires permission from the government (FRA? STB? I don't recall exactly who) and it's easier to just block off the road and keep maintaining the crossing. You see a similar thing in the UK, where ending passenger service to a station requires an Act of Parliament. Typically, the company will just reduce the service to one train in each direction per week, at some random and inconvenient time.
Great video Brian
Jt. Back before directional running all those years ago and before those crossings were closed, runs came through at +35 mph. It was basically lay on the horn as those 6 or 7 crossings were all within a mile.
Times have changed for safety reasons and to give the community some peace of mind but It was special. Loud and proud ruled the day and you never saw people dare attemp to cross even at ungaurded points thru here. !!!!
Some great action on this one. Enjoyed it much, thanks JT!
Glad you enjoyed it
Just seeing all those trains line up trying to get into the yard it's a takeoff during the holiday season of customers waiting in line to be served by a clerk. Take your next number to be served tag and pay attention. The Intermodal train of course wants immediate attention for its priority packages and at the end of the day there is the famous JT Gondola train which lets you know you're in Cincinnati and today had grain cars for making holiday cookies. So thanks JT for sending us some trains to take our minds off the hustle and bustle
I had to do a double take to see that it was all one train - wow! That rock train was also long - the two engines were having to work moving it along :)
The EMD power sound hits the max 💯COOL meter rating!!
Big trains and older EMD power running LHF and sounding awesome. Nice one JT.
Thank you very much!
Lots of boxcars,,, love it, Boxcar are my favorite
Hi JT Happy holiday week to you and your family I hope that you have a great one and thank you for your train videos this year I learned so much from you thanks again ❤❤❤
Happy holidays!
Thanks you my friend it me rock 1 love for the train show 👍🏿😁👍🏿👍🏿😁👍🏿👐😁👐👐😁👐
Thanks for watching!
Great video Brian, have a great day.
They emptied the yard with those trains, son.
I loved to seen the Longest train! Great catch Brian!
My daily fix , keep if up JT .UK supporter
Empty Grain cars are headed for Uniopolis, OH. HUGE elevator there..lone non grain car is going to Jackson Center, OH.. Mill Gons on their way to Lima...2 tankers are to a Farm Service center south of Jackson Center.
The gons are pig iron going to Deelta. I&O has a number of grain operations, Bloomingburg, South Charleston, Uniopolis, Urbana, Metamora, Thackery, Mechanicsburg, and several other smaller locations
Are you sure those cars are going to an elevator? The four-bay ones are mostly used for dried distiller's grain (DDG), which is the spent grain from ethanol extraction. So they'd be loaded at the ethanol plant, not an elevator.
I thought about that also. I suspect they are going to an on line ethanol plant in Bloomingburg or Lima.
Amazing video Jaw Tooth keep up the good work
Thanks! Will do!
This was some great action JT, nice work!
Awesome video, have a great day, greetings from Brasil 🇧🇷
Thank you! You too!
Some more great train action and glad to see that they still have use for the abandoned track crossing there in Elmwood Place and some of the trains were really long but still exciting to see though, always a lot of
great footage of trains in Ohio there and nice weather to watch them,
also great to see the pets Chessie and Loki playing and they are really
great train dogs and great recaps of the trains Thank You Jaw Tooth
and have a very Merry Christmas.🇺🇲🎄☃️🤠🐕🐈⬛☃️🎄🇺🇲
🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🇺🇲💨
Thanks for watching!
Fab horn sound from N/S & BNSF JT. Nice crossing even though abandoned? & the houses have fab views of the trains. Great video once again JT. ❤😊👍
Many thanks!
That was cool with the BNSF leading the N/S
Merci beaucoup pour cette très belle vidéo ! 👍🙏
Good Morning Everyone,
Great train meet! Man that stack train was massive! Over 5 minutes long. I wonder...how many axels was it? We have a few AIM (American Iron and Metal) scrap yards up here as well. Worked for one of their competitors for many years. I can't believe how long some of these trains are these days. Maybe the gondola train was waiting on the signal light to change.
Cheers from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
hello jaw it's is randy and i like yours video is cool thanks jaw friends randy
That second train with all those containers, and no JB Hunt containers on it.
That's quite unusual.
nice videos as always, follows every day
Thanks!
Thank you! Very nice!🤗👍👍
Thank you! Cheers!
I read somewhere that the FRA said that these excessively long trains are a number one cause of derailments. I think these kids that are coming out of college and making up these trains are trying to do it because it's possibly logistically easier, but my guess is within a few years we'll go back to a regular mile long train length. Mind you, I am no railroader, but this is my guess.
Hey jaw tooth lots of great trains. Hope they reopen crossing. Have a great weekend and railroad day 🚂🙋♀️
Thanks! You too!
They won't reopen it. It was closed because the approach to it is too steep, so vehicles kept grounding and blocking the line. And the crossing isn't needed -- there's another one a block down the line.
Nice work jaw tooth keep it up please and be safe out there while railfanning please
In 27 years,
I have never seen a CSX train this big this train got to be longer than that that is huge the biggest csx train 🚂
I got a monster CSX train in LaGrange during Light Up LaGrange this year. I don't know which one was longer but they were both over two miles long
A LOTTA FLAT WHEELS ON THOSE 2 TRAINS. THE CAR GUY PROBABLY TOOK A NAP 😯💯👍👍👍. MERRY CHRISTMAS,,,, MR.& MRS JAWTOOTH 🎄🎄💯👍✝️
Have a good holiday jaw tooth. Best vids.
Love those pretty pink ONE containers!❤
Me too!!
Great video JT! And the audio catching the I & O locos spooling up was awesome!
🚂🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃💯👍🇺🇸
Thanks 👍
CSX, BNSF, and NS working together in perfect harmony! 🥳 Now we just need UP!
Love your videos. You get totally great locations. ✌️
Thanks 👍
Another awesome train video! Love that intermodel and that mixed freight. On the way home from Thanksgiving dinner, i know I'm a little late in telling about this but i drove over tracks. The gates were up, but when i rolled over the tracks, I looked over, and there was a csx engine sitting there! The last time i saw an engine, it was street running in downtown Tampa. That was maybe 30 yrs ago.. thanks for the video, Brian stay well roll on
Sounds great! That was lucky to see it in Tampa. I have filmed a street runner there one time but I have tried about a half dozen times.
@@JawTooth i was lucky, in the right place at the right time
It’s great to see the road removed instead of the track!
I agree
@@JawTooth It was horrible to see the removal of the Florida East Coast line next to South Dixie Highway in South Miami Dade County in 1988 and see an underutilized failure of a busway installed! Terrible decision! Lobbyists really got what they wanted in that one! To see the rail line survive is refreshing!
Thanks
Welcome
I do love your channel jaw tooth
Great catches and awesome video jaw tooth
Thank you very much!
Another excellent video!
Thanks!
Great location!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
With that railroad worker at the crossing should of asked him why that crossing was maintained, etc. They could even put in a more permanent barrier. Good video though.
It's maintained because that's a legal requirement, until the crossing is formally closed.
Some really long ones this time. I miss the shorter ones with a caboose. Pink shipping containers were different! I was an Indiana girl for most of my life so I like the I & O engines a lot. ❤
Glad you like them!
The pink containers are owned by Ocean Network Express, who are the 7th-largest container shipper in the world. They paint their ships the same colour!
TGIF is here. I hope you all have a fantastic weekend!!
You too
Good video Brian. Scott and I were just down there today at Canal Ridge
Very cool! I just missed you guys. That is a great place. I hope you got an I&O train also.
As this isn't the first time I've seen the IORY run long hood forward, I wonder if the cabs are set up for bidirectionality.
Doubt it. Very few are.
You go part of that CSX
I like your dogs
Puré actión 👍🏽⚡🔝
Great action.
Thanks!
I enjoyed that video👍👍
Thanks 👍
Good morning Jaw Tooth.
Hello there!
Awesome video, I'm surprised that crossing is still working.
Yeah me too
Good video Jawtooth
Thanks !
Good job jawtooth
Thanks for watching!
Hey JawTooth did you or anyone else see the door that was open on the boxcar? Interesting. It was at time stamp 8:47. Great video though. It was neat seeing the road closed part of the cross over even though the cross arms still came down.
Locomotive NS 4677 is all gleaming! It's probably been repainted.
Get a drone Jaw Tooth would be cool be above both trains at that crossing. Great video anyway.
That would be cool!
They must maintain the crossing gates and lights just for you!
I am thankful to them for that lol
I remember seeing the crossing in Elmwood Place. Ohio in a previous video when it was open. I think you caught some vehicles going up and over the tracks with little clearance between the tracks and the bottom of the vehicle. You caught a couple of long trains at this crossing. The CSX train was the longest train that you caught that day. The Indiana & Ohio Railway train was also a long train.
First time I noticed the 40ft sitting on 2 20
Nice Video
Thanks for the visit
This looks like the crossing where trains blocked it sometimes for a very long time
😊 Good Video 📹 Jaw Tooth 👍 + 1 !!!!!
Thank you 👍
Thanks Brian. If the crossing has been abandoned why not remove the associated signals and barriers too?
A boys dream road with built in ramp🤣🤣🤣
Just like one near Strasburg lol
You guys need to tune into CKUA ..Djs pick music ...great content ..100years old ! No swears ..vulger...stuff great music guys ..online to !thx JT kool shots
Cool thanks
i cant believe how big loki has gotten how old is brandy
Crossings have to be maintained and the horn must be sounded for any crossing that is intact. As long as the pavement is there they have to keep it functioning.
Shiny C6M up front!
Good morning
Morning
Another awesome Jaw Tooth video. But let's be honest here, is there any other kind?
Great shot of Brandy licking Loki ( hope that's spelled right) I guess she is like the mother hen? 😀 Is it Loki from Thor?
Thanks for watching!
i think there keeping it as a optional gate they can open and close as needed. and did you notice the open container door on that TEXTON container in the DTTX gondola car ?.
really interesting when you do the rail identification on your videos, you should do it more
cheers Art
do you ever go to TIM HORTONS ? love them but none here
Thanks, will do!
No, I don't know where they are
@@JawTooth google them when
your out and about, best donuts and coffee
DPU ALRIIIIIIIIIIIGHT
Actual boxcars , don't seem to see them that much on most of your trains .
