I love how in these videos where the train cuts some kind of parade in half, you always know what is coming, and then when it happens everyone runs around and panics...
Millenniumforce I once saw the Detroit & Mackinac Sucessor Lake State Railway cut the Alpena 4th of July Parade in half. Pretty fun stuff because the city was not expecting it I don't believe, as the train, the once-daily northbound, usually comes about 3 hours earlier in the day than the beginning of the parade. So the street was blocked for over 5 minutes. Pretty sure I was the only one enjoying it more than the parade itself. Hey check out my new 2nd Channel: TRRS2. It is all about the CSX Locomotive Roster. I've teamed up with Bob M to keep exacting track of the entire roster. It is at /user/TRRS2 I know you do a lot with CSX so I thought you might be interested. It is just getting underway but the future looks bright! Cheers from Michigan!
Welcome to the party pal!.... I hope the crowd down the street were aware the train was coming, or they could have cleared off home thinking the parade had finished! Lol
Interesting how the crews slowed down the consist through the main thoroughfare here! I'm thinking they were given orders to proceed through at restricted speeds through there!
My guess this isnt the first time this has happend and yes i am aware of what happend in Texas but im talking about the train forcing the parade to be cut in half. In other words Alan you knew this was going to happen.
you know when people pump their arms for a truck to honk the horn? did you see the person pumping their arm as the train was blowing the horn? *facepalm*
My uncle invited me and my dad on his UP train I got on it so cool he told me to push q yellow button I didn't know what it was when I pressed it was the horn scared to crap outta me so yes the man doing that is weird lol
Maybe the city ought to get the CSX to sponsor a parade float..? At least it appears the city notified the railroad, in Midland, TX. they had a veterans parade that had fatal results, the parade organizers did NOT get parade permits & the city failed to notify the UPRR that a parade was happening... (NTSB faulted the city & parade organizers for failure to comply with existing city & state laws & failure to notify the railroad of the parade.)..
+Tzvi Filler The town really should have a better parade route. It's funny you think safety is annoying hence, the reason you will never hold a job with responsibility.
Maybe the train was part of the parade. Think about it...people put their toy trains around the xmass tree! I hate you guys, its below zero where I am and you guys are outside in your shorts and t shirts enjoying a parade! UGH!!! Minnesota hell!

The train was better than anything in the whole damn parade.
i agree!
Maybe CSX wanted to get in on the action and use of their daily intermodal trains as a way of saying, "Don't forget about us at good old CSX."
CSX wanted to be in the parade too. Would had been cool if they had Christmas lights on the locomotive. Great shots as always!
Better with a tree at the end of the train
Hey it may be csx's parade float
GA
Super catch, Alan, a Christmas Parade and a Intermodal train too boot!
I hate how these people were booing at the train to no go slow but if it went fast they would complain
"While visions of CSX engines danced in their heads".
Merry Christmas from CSX...but we've got to move our freight!
That is OK Join the parade it was more interesting than the parade itself

jajajaj Amazing!! If it happens here in Spain, people start throwing objects and shouting to the train. Very good video Alan!
that is one loud and long train horn
It is loud
At least they were following slow orders
Welcome to the party pal!.... I hope the crowd down the street were aware the train was coming, or they could have cleared off home thinking the parade had finished! Lol
i love the train horn sound :D
I love the train horn sound too
1st gen K5HL
Exactly it is but I love it 👍
It's a K5HL 1st gen at 3:09
I used to go to Christmas parades, from where I used to live, train tracks are a block from the parade route.
Love the sound of this train horn!!!
Good one Alan,looked like lots of po'ed parade goers.Glad to see they slowed before hitting crossing
Rocky Mount NC they have the Christmas parade downtown and CSX and Amtrak will cut the parade at least twice.
Did you film it?
@@youraveragejoe2 Unfortunately no but I have been to the parade there before.
@@db59 film it next time whenever
Awesome Video Alan!
I guess CSX like to ruin parades huh? Lol
I bet the parade goers where mad when this train decided to go through.
Not really Also there was another one that came through 15 minutes earlier
Millenniumforce Did you film it?
Kyle Dick If my name is at the end of the video I filmed it it's my copyright and I save all my video's
Millenniumforce I meant the train before this one.
You said there was a another train that came 15 minutes before this one. Did you catch it?
I would've been happy 😀
Interesting how the crews slowed down the consist through the main thoroughfare here! I'm thinking they were given orders to proceed through at restricted speeds through there!
Usually when the a parade route crosses over an active rail line, they notify the railroad to have train go through at a slow speed.
nice consent es40dc,2 ac60cws, and a es44 nice catch
You would think the Dispatcher would alert the Train or something...
lol i Saw a car Smash right into a moving train at a crossing,He must of been drunk or something. I didn't have my Camera on me then.
when I didn't know good grammar xD
Wow! this train had a nice horn great sound.
4:36 CSX AC600CW and CSX AC4400CW
was It only APL containers it was carrying
Nice to know Alan, thank you!
That is the 2nd train video I have seen you video on youtube that cuts off some kind of parade
I missed another train just 15 minutes before that one that was going in the opposite direction
What's Christmas ,with out Train, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year.
Great catch! :)
The spectators didn't look terribly annoyed. I would also guess that the CSX crew wanted to put on a good show for the parade as well.
Thanks for sharing!
intermodal significa que lleva carga variada???
Great video!!!
Wow! That's crazy!
sweet video!!!
Well The Train Made its Grand Apperance Into The Parade. LOL
nice video
The conductor is like: Screw your parade, and screw your children ears!
+ivangode8 It seems he had no spirit,as there was no horn salute.....Her doesn't even have any christmas cheer!?!?!
WHY PEOPLE PLAN A PARADE NEAR OR BY TRAIN TRACKS KNOWING TRAINS GO THROUGH BAD THINKING
Alan, why do you think people like to have parades at railroad crossings?
I thought Little Toy Trains were a part of christmas
A REAL Polar Express!
was It only APL containers it was carrying lol
michael harris no! i saw other containers too!
CSX has to move fright there little pride will not stop it.
My guess this isnt the first time this has happend and yes i am aware of what happend in Texas but im talking about the train forcing the parade to be cut in half. In other words Alan you knew this was going to happen.
Yes It Happens All The Time
This Last Time The More $10000 Parades Is $20000 In 2013 And Amtrak In 2011
1st viewer!!!!!
And nice video.
Seriously why are they doing the parade at a crossing 😒
you know when people pump their arms for a truck to honk the horn? did you see the person pumping their arm as the train was blowing the horn? *facepalm*
My uncle invited me and my dad on his UP train I got on it so cool he told me to push q yellow button I didn't know what it was when I pressed it was the horn scared to crap outta me so yes the man doing that is weird lol
People who made the parade got a break when the train crossed the street :)
nice

That's really annoying, especially when it's going so slow
Csx was supposed to go slow because people were crossing the tracks
+Tzvi Filler
The town really should have a better parade route. It's funny you think safety is annoying hence, the reason you will never hold a job with responsibility.
Not for railfanners
Cool.
Really
I'd rather see the train any day.
Just like The Amtrak Trains did
Awesome here in the dutch it never happening:(
Train have to ruin everything during parade XD
Lopez Webster was killed by the train that's what happened after Lopez stabbed am an
...
See a lot of hot girls. The train is cool too.

Mm
The train is better

Welcome to the party pal!.... I hope the crowd down the street were aware the train was coming through, or they could have cleared off home thinking the parade had finished! Lol
