Children On Railroad Diamonds Get Horn Blasts From CSX High Rail Truck! Marion Ohio Trains On CSX

  • Children were playing on the busy CSX mainline tracks when a track inspector came along. The high rail truck blasted his horn at them. Minutes later a huge mixed freight crosses the railroad diamonds next to Marion Union Station. Look how long these trains are since CSX started using Precision Scheduled Railroading PSR! These trains are huge! The downfall is that these monster trains are costing jobs. The July, 2021 issue of Trains Magazine has an in depth article about the loss of jobs due to PSR. Total employee loss due to PSR from Feb 2017 to Dec 2020 is 26%. This figure comes from the loss of jobs for major U.S. railroads which includes CSX, Norfolk Southern and Union Pacific. PSR is a cost cutting tool for the railroads but it costs jobs and reduces the amount of trains for us railfans. This video was recorded in Marion, Ohio. Thanks for watching!

      As a train loving kid, I was ecstatic when my dad bought his first home on Wiseburn St in Hawthorne CA. Next to it is one of the last local lines of its kind (that I know of) that still exist in LA. Starts in downtown and ends at the Chevron plant in El Segundo. That was in 1991. I'm still ecstatic when I housesit for them while they go on cruises. 9:45a every morning through the South Bay - hard to imagine. My point of this rant was my buddy and I jumped on a cpl of those and rode them to the next block for giggles. We never got caught :)

      I've had attention from police when I was waiting at a pedestrian crossing gate. She stopped, got out of her cruiser and came over to tell me to stay off of the tracks. I said, “You, too. That uniform doesn't impress a train.”
      She said, “Don't get smart with me.”
      I responded, “Go away and leave me alone. You don't get any points for telling me not to do what I was already not doing. This is a designated legal pedestrian crossing point.”
      She got in her cruiser and left. Probably some Nosey Nellie had called the cops to claim that I was playing on the tracks. At 55 years old!!

      I was on a 13,000 foot intermodal train the other night. There was a labor shortage because of Covid. Instead of recalling furloughed conductors sooner, they just keep making the trains longer and longer. Its such a pain because nothing fits on one track in any of the yards now. We have to split a cut at least once, if not twice.

    As you pointed out in previous videos - that is a great place to railfan. It has the tower and fence and you are right up close to the diamonds :) I like that sound! That is a nice long train and it doesn't have a DPU for some reason. Great video!

      From a novice, what's a DPU? VIDEO and audio was great!!!!!! You could almost go to sleep listening to the rail cars go by especially with the ones with cars in them and the fuel cars rolling with them.

    That was a long CSX train passing through Marion, Ohio. You are correct in saying that the longer and trains are a problem for the railfans who want to see as many trains as possible in the time that they have to train watch. The teenagers sauntering along the tracks does pose a problem. I guess they think it is no problem. They will see the train coming and get out of the way in time. However, we have seen many times in your videos and the videos of other RUclipsrs that trains can sneak up on you with little or no warning. Thank you for sharing this video with us!

      @Thomas Mackowiak Kids will always be kids. I remember my childhood: my friends and I enjoyed walking and sitting on the freight line tracks, about three blocks from my home. A low-traffic line serving a cotton gin and furniture plant. Switching engines ran on this line, which branched off from a busy one-track local corridor. I called the switchers "one-eyed monsters."

      I would add that PSR is pissing off the public with trains blocking crossings. I saw (but didn't watch) one video claim that traffic was blocked for 15 minutes. Great way to encourage people to try and beat the train.

      But so many of us all have done risky things as teens. And it's getting the pants scared off of them that teaches that critical lesson. lectures do no work on teens, only raw experience. Part of life.
      Over-protecting them will just harm them in the long run. many of the problems we have today is the result of parents in the 90's and 00's being too over-protective.
