CSX Spirt Of Our Armed Forces Locomotive Crosses The Railroad Diamonds In Greenwich Ohio. 6 Trains On The Day Of The Eclipse this vid. Some Of The Eclipse Darkness Is In This Video. See My Part 1 Video Of A Train Going Through The Eclipse Here.
Have you ever heard of this type of railroad diamond? It is called a Flange Bearing Frog Diamond ( FBF ). I show the diamond up close and explain how it works. The wheels on the freight cars and locomotives do not touch the rails. The flanges support the train going over the railroad diamonds as I explain and show in the video. This prevents maintenance costs and reduces noise. I have shown One Way Low Speed ( OWLS ) diamonds in previous videos from Indiana and Ohio. This is different than those and uses replacement bars that are cheap and easy to replace. I show those also.
This video shows the CSX commemorative locomotive 1776, The Spirit Of Our Armed Forces leading a coke train over the diamonds. That was a pretty cool catch.
Highlights of the video show 2 trains approaching at the same time in opposite directions and passing right next to the diamonds. We also see the old New York Central Railroad signals that are still in use. We also see a closeup of the rail and evidence of a recent passing of a rail grinder. I rode up here with Scott @1960gambit. We came up here to film a train passing during the Eclipse 2024. We actually got lucky and filmed a train at the perfect time during the Eclipse. That is Part 1 for this video and is a must see. At the end of this video there is a link to that video.
We also see the Live Action Pets doing their thing and we see the slide show that comes from this video.
Filmed Monday, April 8, 2024 in 1080p with 60fps. Thanks for watching!
