City Bus Stuck At RR Crossing, Cops Called, Broken Down Train Blocks Crossing For Hours, CSX & NS
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- Broken down train blocks a major 4 track railroad crossing and a metro bus gets trapped between the railroad crossing and cars backed up behind it. Cincinnati Police Department was called. The CSX train with a DPU was too long for the 2 locomotives. An ambulance had to turn around. Crossings were blocked for hours until a rescue locomotive tied onto the single leading locomotive. The city bus couldn't move because cars were behind it. Most cars were turning around but about 5 cars just sat behind the bus and a bus supervisor had to come out and ask the cars to turn around and then he helped the bus turn around. I got most of it on camera except for the ambulance. The stalled train only had one engine on the front and a mid train DPU and was way too long thanks to Precision Scheduled Railroading ( PSR ). Part of the train was carrying interesting looking maintenance of way ( MOW ) equipment. Notice the first train that passed it with 6 locomotives, 3 of which were Canadian Pacific Railway. Another cool thing about this video is the Norfolk Southern train that passed the CSX train. You can see the train knock down the signal ( change the signal from green to red ). That is always cool son. That train also had a DPU on the rear. Filmed in Elmwood Place and Carthage in Cincinnati, Ohio on November 20, 2021. Thanks for watching! I really appreciate your support!

If you see a problem at a train crossing - DO NOT CALL 911. Call the 800 number posted on a BLUE SIGN at every train crossing - this is a direct link to train dispatching so any oncoming trains can be halted ASAP.
Do you see exactly how small that sign is at 10:55 ?
So walk over to the sign and
Dial the#, the sign will have
The location and crossing grade on it, just read off the
Code # so the dispatcher will know where the problem
Is at. If you just give the street it will take longer.
Never seen it..
I never knew that. Good information to know about. My grandfather worked for the Pennsylvania Railroad during the late 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s. I wonder when that sign got started. 🤔
Very important to tell PPL about CSX and their phone numbers to dis patch. Thank you. I wonder if old B and O or chessy system rails had these lunes to call also?sl
My wife drives the city bus. When this happens(which is quiet often in Elmwood) the must call the supervisor. The supervisor must come out to assist in back up and clearing traffic. SORTA prohibits them from backing up in these situations without a supervisor on site.
You got to love Detours...lol
And they prohibit it because buses don’t have much in the way of rear visibility, so you really need someone to direct the operator from outside the bus. It’s not a judgement on the operator’s skill.
@@mplsmike4023 very true
Also i been on a city bus once when the lift bridge had traffic stopped a huge cargo ship was stopped under it till 2 tugboats maneuvered it forward lol i know a train but a ship LOL
@@arnoldflowers8686 lol. Where was this?
CSX was famous for these kind of situations round these parts. The most famous was the legend of the train that stopped to get lunch at a trackside dive and blocked several intersections. Yikes! Thanks, Jaw Tooth.
Q
Good luck onthetrainlenjoyallofrhem🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Hey jaw tooth watch your videos every day after school and I love them keep up the good work
That looks like a bus driver road supervisor directing the driver to back up and turn around. I did that for a living. I notice he doesn’t have any flashing lights, other than his headlights. Good job, bus supervisor.
Thanks for sharing!
Jim, I agree, the bus driver took the “safe course “ and had someone watch his “back up move”. kudos to him and his company….As far as the train delay is concerned “ engines” fail more often than is seen on video but it was a good catch, Brian👍….
Hey! Another transit guy! What city, Jim?
@@mattbalboa1349 retired out of Sacramento with 20 years. 48 altogether. How bout you?
@@Qrail Retired out of Capital Metro in Austin, Tx... 26 years, and thn 11 with the local school district as a driver trainer.
What's your favorite city bus? The GM New Look fishbowl?
Had a friend who drove a bus in Columbus. He told me that a supervisor had to be present before they could put the bus in reverse
Cool, so that explains it
That looked like a supervisor's car.
Standard protocol around the country, not just Columbus.
I'll take a stab at this. First, the train is in a yard, which one can see after the bus moving portion. Next, he's inside the yard limit board [yellow forked tongue] so the yardmaster is in charge. A single engine is dispatched to the head end, which makes me think there was trouble with the lead engine and the GP certainly did not have the power to move the train on its own. It was also pointed the wrong way thus a trailer lash-up. Whether the engine was the same engine on the head end or a replacement, it all takes time. And, of course, Karen had to call the cops. There's not much the cops can do when a train is having some sort of trouble. Maybe those folks will have to construct an overpass. Even with the train moving and carrying the whole nine yards, the crossing was still blocked for a long time while it moved out of the yard and on its way. PSR: Please Sit back and Relax because the length of the train means you can take a nap, have a V-8, or catch up on your reading.
Unless you are in the ambulance leaking out blood and would like to get to the hospital quickly.... Just saying.
i like your PSR acronym 😂😂😂😂
What a lot of people dont realize is Trains have jurisdiction over everything. Cities have to have permission for roads to cross railroad tracks. Cities have to imform any repairs of the road 250 feet from the closest rail. Its all due to the railroad being there first. So the cops cant anything about blocking traffic from a train.
@@troy3052 I'm pretty sure that's not correct. For a start, the idea that the trains were there first is simply not true in many places. There were no commercial railways in the US before 1827, but there were plenty of towns there before that, and plenty of people there before there were towns. Second, it doesn't matter who was there first. I don't have any special rights over the people in the apartment above mine just because I've lived here longer; the railroad doesn't have any special rights over everybody else just because it's had its tracks there longer than the road. To take things to a ludicrous extreme, CSX doesn't have the right to park a rail car on every grade crossing and close all the roads. Many cities have ordinances forbidding trains from blocking crossings for more than a certain amount of time. The cops can't literally do anything because they can't move the train themselves. But the railroad can be prosecuted and fined. Cities only require permission to build a road across the railroad because the railroad is private land. If they wanted to build a road across your garden, they'd need your permission, too.
So people shouldn't make such a fuss and just adjust their lives to revolve around what's convenient for the railroad company? If the railroad companies want public support some consideration on their part might be a good PR move
That was so funny when you said the bus driver was out directing traffic and then the bus started moving. "By Itself"?
Locomotive mechanical problem kind of read to me cool Bus & Car Bus Company takeing the bus to a detour.
This is, once again, a video The Wife and I enjoyed. And to add, 6 locomotives in a row, beautiful. Thanks for your patience Jaw Tooth waiting until the broken down train started to move and passed you and your camera.
We had a csx that blocked 6 major intersections for 3 hours. Bus supervisors knew it was not going to move so they backed the busses around around. Csx brought out another engine and pulled out of crossings. Reason engines stopped was locomotive engineers reached maximum hours on duty and had informed dispatchers would not have enough time to make Taft yard
I used to love seeing five or more locomotives in the front.
Now because of "DPU" I hardly ever to get to see more on three engines up front.
@@icosthop9998 so true, where I live in Virginia the most locomotives I've seen on the front of a train is 3 just 3
@@karafaunt4386 for me , has trains pass and they not coupling and uncoupling cars,
The Engines are definitely the 💗 *"heart"" 💓 of the action.
The more engines 🤗 the better.🤗
Love it on the rare occasion I see like 9 or 11 engines with nothing behind them going by because they're relocating the engines. ☺️
But mostly only two engines are front if they have at least that many. 🥺
Now I'm getting my mind set for looking forward to the DPU going by. 🙂
I am one of those rare people that miss the caboose at the end. Been hearing people say that the red flashing light and that small unit attached to the 🔴 Light is better than a trailing caboose with a person in it... ... *"Technology"* ❗❗❗
Yeah !! Ive seen csx 3364 come thru johnsonville tn b4. Great video jaw tooth !!😎👍😎👍
Thanks 👍
Awesome Live Action and catches of the first NS train with the CP engines in toe and on the broken down CSX train and the rescue of it and the 3rd NS train with the DPU in the back and I feel sorry for the people who got stuck at the Railroad Crossing and the Bus driver of the County Bus! 5 Stars +Jaw tooth and have yourself a Happy Holiday Season and I am happy that the ambulance didn’t get stuck in traffic at the railroad crossing.
I had no idea there was such a thing as "Bus Fans"......I learned something new today!😀
Not I said the cat. Yes since it's part of the video I don't mind watching it but I'm not going to go chasing buses. How can I must be exciting as a train? Not my cup of tea.
Sorry error. "How can a bus be exciting as a train"?
@@patriciajones4744 There's bus fans just like train fans, airplane fans, etc.
There's fans of just about anything.

Where are all the Buss fans I didn’t find any seems like the only train fans here…
It’s all very well calling the police, but what are they meant to do?
You’re probably better phoning AAA or some other company?
Hey Jaw. Hey everybody. This reminds me a lot of a train that derailed its leading diesel several years ago in downtown West Green Bay on Wednesday evening during the Summer Farmers Market. It was Canadian National, Northbound and arriving just after 5:00 pmcd. It was rolling north just fine at 10 mph. SUDDENLY it stopped. It blocked both major roads of Dousman Street and Walnut. And a lot of people were climbing over the couplers and ladders to get to their cars. In fact by Dousman I was talking to a policeman and talking about the airbrakes when a young man climbed over the couplers right in front of us. The white young man had a raffa knit hat that was very colorful. The policeman called him over and gave him a good lecture. Meanwhile down the train other people were also climbing over. But others were climbing under the couplers. We were telling many others to just walk South and cross behind the train along Pearl St. Then I also walked South to the end. But there were NO RAILROADERS to protect the reverse move. Suddenly I heard the airbrakes activate. And tried to get at the back. But the train was reversing. Luckily no one was underneath. FINALLY!!! After 2 and 1/2 HOURS, the train started North again. Thus it was a huge relief to get the crossings cleared. Just in time for the street market to close down. And let the people go home. THANK GOD...AMEN!!!!! 😊 🙏. 12-2-21. (P.S. HEY. THE DATE NUMBER COMES OUT RATHER EVENLY, SEE!!) LOL!!!!!
That was interesting to hear about. Especially for me having grown up in the Green Bay Area.
@@Bhil3 me to !
I'm sure glad nobody was hurt. Walking or worse crossing a live track is really dangerous but people just expect "they will know" when a train will start moving. Of course by then it will be too late. I've read more people lose arms and legs due to stupid things like crossing a live track.
That bus driver should have called the supervisor after waiting for 15 minutes😢!!!!!!
Awesome Video
🌵🌹🇮🇳🌹🌵
That stalled train really caused a problem. Someone at the CSX Power Desk must have been in trouble for the stalled train. That Norfolk Southern train certainly had enough power on it. There were three Norfolk Southern and three Canadian Pacific on the point of that train. Once CSX got that additional engine on the front of the train, they were finally ablr to move it. Thank you for documenting these to trains and for sticking around until the train finally took off.
It was my pleasure! Thanks for watching Thomas!
Are you sure it was stalled? The SD40-3 didn't sound like it was running, then it finally came past. Seems like it broke down.
@@beeble2003 As I read Jaw Tooth's description, he said "The CSX train with a DPU was too long for the 2 locomotives." I made the assumption that the train had stalled becasue there was not enough power to more the "too long" train. I did not pay attention to the sound of the SD40-3 when the train finally past where Jaw Tooth was standing. If the SD40-3 was not running, then the reason for the train stopping was a mechanical problem and not the fact that there was not enough engines on the train to move it.
@@thomasmackowiak Hmm. Strange that the description says both that it was broken down and that the two locomotives couldn't move it. I'm pretty sure the issue was just the breakdown.
Unless maybe he means that there used to be two locomotives on the head plus the DPU in the middle, and the lead locomotive had already been removed by the time JT got to the front of the train. That might explain the unusual situation of having a solo lead locomotive running long-hood-forward.
@@beeble2003 I suspect you're right, I didn't hear anything from the '40. The step lights were on but I don't think you need to have the prime mover running for those. Loosing half of your tractive effort due to a crapped out locomotive will put a crimp in your day every time.
Bus driver was smart!! He called for help and was given a spotter to help him back up. Most drivers would have tried to backup by himself, possibly getting into trouble.
Hi Jaw Tooth. Another great video. Trains do get fouled up and get backed up sometimes. It’s unfortunate the traffic got delayed like that but stuff happens.
Have a great day and keep up the good work!
That SD40-3 was not running when it went by you. Thank you for waiting it out too! Excellent video for the effort.
That cat has a motor as loud as a Briggs & Stratton 12hp with no muffler. Sweet Kitty. Good catch on the stalled train, Brian.
Yup, I could hear and enjoy the kitty too! And you were right in my old neighborhood. I used to ride my bike up and over that crossing on my way into the city. Very cool?
That was the bus driver. A passenger volunteered to back up the bus. 🙂
Looks like the white suv had a teardrop by the side mirror, maybe an undercover cop.
Here in my area if the train blocks the crossing for a certain period of time they impose a fine on UP. Really does not happen very often.
They probably need a higher fine though
Breakdowns are usually exempt from fines, and that's what seems to have happened here.
Are you near A Military Base? I Live Near Ft. Bragg and DoD Trains sometimes tie up Traffic in Downtown Fayetteville.
CSX again! They thought one SD40-3 would be enough? 😝
* Now that is an unusual setup. Single SD40-3 leading, hood end first, then a mid-train DPU? 🤨
The Madison Wisconsin our trains can only travel 25 miles per hour no faster than that because the tracks are unsafe to travel any faster than that if you didn't know that also the train is owned by the taxpayer and that's Wisconsin Southern railroad something you didn't know reedsburg Wisconsin reedsburg to Madison Wisconsin cost a taxpayer $75 million something else you didn't know now they're talking about taking a Amtrak or a metro train to Madison Wisconsin about time
The train crew should break the train at the crossing.
A main reason is because of Union politics.
The head end crew won't leave their post, and the Railroad has to bring out another Switchman or Conductor.
They have to find one according to the duty roster, it can take 2- 4 hours to bring someone out.
I recall some cities will fine railroads if their trains block traffic for extended periods of time.
Great coverage JT👍, a good shot of the maintenance way equipment on the CSX freight, “the NS freight with the DPU, “I see you” ,LOL 😆👍like that Brian! When a train breaks down like that or for what ever the reason may be, the railroad is doing everything possible to rectify the situation especially a long freight can cause a lot of traffic problems and a lot of inconvenience for sure, 🙏🏻hope the person in the ambulance is OK once they got to the hospital. Keep up the great vids JT, take care buddy.👋😎🛤🚂
Yeah JT, the camera is certainly picking up the purring and norphie is now almost a full grown kitty cat.
Hey Jaw Tooth, awesome video as always, this kind of thing happens rarely on both main line and set of side line tracks main passenger and freight, side just freight and occasional military transporting train
there's a city law here that says the trains can't block a crossing for more than 10 minutes straight. but the train company ignores it a lot, they got plenty of money, they just pay the fines if somebody reports them or a cop sees it (i've talked to train employees before)
Great vid Son ...I heard Norfie purring ...😼🐶🚂🚃🚃🚃Thx for posting ...
Glad you enjoyed it and have a great week!
That cop watched the train or you? Did you see the second cop coming down the road waiting on the train too?
Yes, I think they were making sure that the train left town so that the crossings could be opened up again
Maybe the train was tried love your train videos All good love caboose miss seeing train horn sound good to
Fantastic video!! But I don't like that CP SD40-2
I used o live in NH near a set of live tracks. The most cars I've ever counted on one train was 325 cars, 8 engines.
Wow Norfolk Southern making CSX look bad.
Great video and I can hear the cat purring, she is nice looking and the dog too. I have a cat with 4 little ones, they will go to a new home in a few weeks, I can only keep the Mother cat, then I will have her spayed.
Awesome!!
All Kinds of Equipment. 🎉3-31. DPU. I see U. -❤❤it.
Makes me wonder- even if the train is under-powered, they could cut the cars at the crossing and use the DPU to pull them apart, at least enough for a vehicle or two to get through.
The train wasn't "under-powered". One of the locomotives broke down. Multiple crossings were blocked, so it's not clear that the DPU would have had enough power to shift enough of the train to unblock them all.
I like train videos videos on RUclips jawtooth 👍
Most likely that was a cop helping the bus. the flashing lights on the SUV gave it away
JT looks like I'm looking at a deja vu scene except it ain't CSX
The trains are longer and longer.
Taking more time to assemble and disassemble.
Also, more issues with crew shortages.
Good job 👏
Wow Brian that was interesting to see in that lash up on the first train coming through an old Pac-Man CP logo still visible.
Bus signe: ** CROSSTOWN**
Train : euh, euh ☝ no way ! 😁
Nice video.. I see the bus was headed to Oakley... that is where the PRR Little Miami connected with the B&O to get to Union Station?
Thanks for the info
And Elmer's Illinois they spent 1 million dollars and have underground car to go around the train so that they wouldn't have to sit at the train station and what's nice about that was that that was years ago and to this day 50 or 60 years later it still works and you can go basically on you could travel Elmhurst Illinois you should go look into it and there's a underground tunnel that goes underneath the railroad the whole aggravation it's it's nice to meet us to get away from the train when they have these little problems
I love watching trains go by I don’t mind waiting it safer that way ❤
Unless there is a Life/Death situation, Railroad should be Fined by the FRA for Blocking a Crossing for 90+ minutes. 🤪👎 What you do is Call the Local Sheriff/Police and they will Contact the Railroad and Order the Train be Moved Immediately or Break the train into 2 sections. Also Recommended you Submit an On-Line Complaint with Federal Railroad Agency (FRA) and make sure to have Details. You said there was a DPU on this train and that makes Less Sense. 🤪👎
That's what should be done
But at the end of the day
Nothing would happen to the train company
25:39 *You have acquired: +1 railroad kitten!*
It would be funny if the cats name was Chessie then it would be Chessie the railroad kitten
Precision railroading isn't so precise when there isn't enough horsepower for whatever reason(s).They seem to have a bottleneck coming into Queensgate from the north.The railroads need to up their game and not cause so many problems for motorists.It's not easy for me to say these things being a rail fan.
BTW ,that first train with all those locomotives with three of them from the North Country was a nice catch.
Thanks for cool video.
Wonder why they stopped, might be problems
Horsepower Issues. Power Group at the Railroad on Break. 🤪👎
Precision railroading should, in my opinion, take into account coming to a stop on the steepest gradient in the route and having to pull away again. Hope this was just a mechanical failure. Seems #4053 wasn’t even running?
@@pjotrtje0NL I agree that the SD40 didn't sound like it was running. So, yeah, the reason there wasn't enough horsepower is that half of it broke down. I'm not great at reading the springs but it looks like there were a ton of empty cars on that train, so it seems reasonable that 7400HP (SD40-3 plus a Gevo) would be enough if they were both working.
Cool stuff son…. Hope you had a wonderful thanksgiving brother?? Always, thanks for sharing
Camera is picking up the purring. Long wait for these trains. See you on the next. 😊👍🇺🇸
To much train for one engine. Way to go CSX
They're not stupid. Unlike you, they run trains for a living. Unlike you, they know how heavy the train actually is (looked like _a lot_ of empty cars, to me) so they know how much power they need. They supplied 7400HP for the train (SD40-3 at the front, Gevo in the middle). No reason to believe that wasn't enough. The problem was that the lead locomotive broke down -- you can hear that it wasn't running when it passed the camera.
Thanks for the Bus & Train video at Elmwood Place.
Must see the balance of the video at the end of my shift.
😎😸👌👍
DPU I.C.U @ 20',30". 😎😸👌👍
I wouldn't wait 40 minutes if the train is stopped.
Train engineer should have divided the train so all the cars could go across instead of having to wait.
Yes, That would've made more sense
How are they going to do that when the lead locomotive has broken down and the DPU doesn't have enough power to shift the train on its own?
Caller: I'd like to report a train.
Police: What about the train?
Caller: It's on the tracks.
Police: So?
I doubt it was an individual that called Cincy PD. The brass at both Queen City Metro and Cincy Fire Rescue no doubt called it in. This train was so long, it blocked many streets, locking down an entire sector of the city. It was probably not a regular patrol officer that was dispatched to talk to the train company people but a high level PD supervisor. At least a division Sargent or higher. That might even gone as high as an Assistant Chief.
I heard the cat purring but I have to put the phone to my ears but great video
long heavy trains today at the staging area about a block and a half from where i live 30 miles west of Chicago, UP 3 locomotive engines pulling and DPU. Stopped and blocked crossing about an hour. Another 4 engine set up later on and another long setup of cars...both had Stacker cars. Heading to either Bensenvile yard by Ohare airport, or going to Blue Island yard, or heading your way JT. Thursday is a busy time here. I can see the track from the back windows of the house. Thanks for this video in particular JT.
wow 6 engines? that reminds me of the trains i'd see out west. Pull that freight son! hit that like button folks!
That is a lot of locomotives for trains here east of the Mississippi River. It was a long one.
The CP locomotives weren't running.
Great video Jawtooth! Even got to see a old CP Pac Man in the mix! Wow! And even MOW equipment and a Scorpion!Awesome! Cool location! Thanks for sharing!
Love horsepower PPU all right 👍 love the train horn sound good to me love in Indiana by 2set track and there is 4way my ant live in terre haute Indiana by northwestern and southwestern train 🚂 have good day looks before crossing that track
Thanks 👍
Sounds like that second unit(head end) was shut down...
Here is a good one for ya:

You know in Madison the average train that will sit down a track that is waiting for another train to go through is an hour and 20 minutes that's not during rush hour and non-rush hour 30 minutes so where's my free gift card from McDonald's you promised me
I live in Detroit, Michigan. When, it comes to railroad crossings there is a 5 minute time limit for trains to block any streets or roads inside the Detroit City Limits. Over the 5 minute limit the railroad company could be fined for blocking any streets or roads. For the Detroit City Busses, when the city bus 🚌should get stuck at a railroad crossing 🛤, the bus drivers usually can take a detour, just to get around the blocked crossing. This has happened in the Detroit City Limits numerous of times ⏲️along City 🚌Routes.
I've seen a few trains break down outside the city limit myself. had to go around them to get to work. some places it can't be helped sadly.
It's too bad the RR don't care about paying fines they literally have money set aside just for that reason because it cost them less to pay fines then fixes the problems causing the delays in the first place.
always enjoyed watching...😊thank you for sharing 👍
@ 3:48ish... I miss cabooses on trains.
There was some stuff going on in this video! That first train that came through was a monster and so was the stalled train. That thing had several streets blocked along its length. It messed up traffic flow in that entire area. Norfie sure is getting big. You can hear her purring. She's got a little chain saw motor going in there.
Hey Jaw Tooth at about 4:34 it looks like HO track code 100 connecting with an adapter to code 55. Cool
I actually meant to show that closeup in the video and explain it but I got sidetracked and forgot. That is pretty cool looking isn't it
A sd40 and a dash 9 dpu is definitely underpowered for that length of train. Typical csx
The issue was that the SD40 broke down. Looking at the springs, it seemed that most of the cars in that train were empties. Unlike you, CSX know how much that train weighed, so they know how much power is actually needed.
A wonderful video my friend
Many thanks
6 engines all lashed up, great train, love the boxcars. Great video Jaw Tooth and Son
Thanks 👍
👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋
I know the RR's are running as many trains as they can get crews for.....but is motive power so short NS is using CP Rail SD40-2 units???? They look a bit beat up too!
Nazi Southern sold or boneyarded over 1/2 of their motive power.
What happened to cutting for a crossing? Oh, well.
Loco 4053 must have had engine problems and need a new loco to get it moving down the line. It looks like they are running double trains to help with the port holdups. The MOW flatcars had a self-unloading ramp on the last car to load and unload the MOW equipment. Neat and really cool. Nice catch this time too.
Yes I can hear your cat purring away a real nice cat always good to see Jessie and keep up the great work Merry Christmas Happy New Year have a good one see you soon
Thank you! You too! Merry Christmas!
DPU,alright!
Yes, and more than one
Wow Fantastic video! What a situation. Thanks for staying for the "whole thing". Very interesting. Chessie and Norfie, what a cute pair!
Glad you enjoyed it!
How nice to see Canadian Pacific at Elmwood Place. I am in Toronto, and have the main CP line just outside my window.
134 cars 1 main engine 4 dpus so a total of 139 and he was bookin on the first train hope you have a good day jawtooth
Such things happen...
Love the flat cars full of whacky races machines -the weird and wonderfull world of MOW ! Some realy good trains going by the backdrop of a stalled train ! Some good views of wear and tear under the hoppers as a bonus !! Nice video Jawtooth !

I thought trains were only legally able to blocka crossing for ten minutes?
2 DPUs moving the stuck train. I’m glad .
Great video my Jaw!😉 When we hear ''take the bus, this is faster than your car on the traffic'' but in your video, This is not quite true when this is a train that makes the congestion haha 🚌
Good to see Canadian power helping out down south, for them it's a vacation to a warmer climate 🇺🇸🇨🇦👍. Camera picked up the purring no problem 🐈
At least the two SD40s on that first train weren't helping out, as thye weren't running.
i always wondered if you've ever found any coal by any random chances, ive found a few pieces around the tracks where i live not many though
Love the sd40-2 units
4:34
PSR, will be the death of Railroads. Dispatchers should have known more power was needed.
All of those old, seasoned, yellow boxcars, and not a LEF&C in the bunch. I think the old Clarion cars have hit the end of their life span though 😞 Those are from where I am. PS: Charge your radio, LOL! I actually use the UV-5R for work and love it. I carry a spare charged battery with me because I like to drain them completely before charging.
