great information

always interesting

I’d like to ask a question but the comments gestapo won’t let me

Awesome materials. Please do videos on Reciprocal Switching Fees and Haulage. Lots of these issues before the STB right now. I actually just found out Haulage over trackage rights isn't a permitted use. 🛤️

A lot of work would have been saved in that last exercise if the freight just stayed on the main for all the moves. I’m sure there are operational rules that outlaw the move or other reasons.

I love these videos, they remind me of the switching problems in MR decades ago. The double saw-by is always fun.

Thank you for another interesting video of potential switching problems< KillerBee! Your solutions to these switching problems turned out to be simple moves that did not take much time to perform. (Posted on 23 December 2024 at 1443 CST.)

These are very interesting videos.

A refresher course is always appreciated

Always a treat KB. Thanks mate! Happy holidays to you and yours. Hope 2025 is a great one for you too!

These three I was aware of. Non the less, I like the way you explain all the moves. Happy Holidays to you and yours!

Wow, what a special video. Some great shots of battling winter in the UP. So sad so much of the railroading has died.

Like those switching puzzles. I think I may have told you that in the past. My HO layout is a switching layout with 16 customers to switch. Most take only 1-2 cars. The largest is a co-op that takes 8 cars. Keeps it interesting.

Just as I thought! Same as a long distance telephone call! The wizards did it!

I remember the FRV owned this line. It was still connected,until WCL cut it off south. FRV ran a night train I remember.

Killer Bee, I dunno how I missed this but fantastic. That’s the first time I think I’ve seen an actual train behind the plow, pretty cool stuff from up Nort! Keep em comin!

Thanks KillerBee! Love your informative videos! Keep em comin!

what type of car is a JBS car?

I would like to see an all animated version of these switching moves. The photos don't help the process.

It’s 2024 Mr. Killer Bee. Fresh meat facility not slaughterhouse. 😂

Great video! Your presentation of the history, maps and background very well done. Modern day operations a challenge for sure. Thank you!

Great video! Good detail of the switching process. How long did this take?

Nice video. I always wondered how they did there run around in Denmark

As a veteran railroader.. the moves were planned out well. Its always nice to have sluff tracks. Good explanation!

This is really cool

This would make for an awesome small shelf layout. Love these videos!

That was quite interesting. I encounter switching challlenges on my model train layout all the time and it is good to have a plan to do it the most effectively or not have a plan and encounter frustration and a lot of time waste.

It sure looks like UC in Denmark uses a different set of marked cars than UC uses in Oconto Falls.. Same company/cooperative but a different railroad.

Very interesting. The best way is to have a plan in place and always set your train up properly, before departing. One of out locals had 9 industries to serve on its route. Eight were regular and one was only a car or two, on a monthly basis. Proper placement of the cars in the train made for a smooth trip. An excellent video, as always.

I’m a bit confused. They left the original portion of the train up track, past the crossing. So when they got all of this switching done, how did they get the locomotive to the head of the original train? Wouldn’t the locomotive be trapped mid train? Excuse my confusion. I’m a non railroad person but a big fan.

This is what I come to see on the internet.

That was a lot of steps. They definitely prepped and knew the layout. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you for another switching video, KillerBee! I enjoyed watching this video of the Fox Valley & Lake Superior Railroad crew performing this dance. Too bad your video camera battery ran out of power. (Posted on 19 December 2024 at 2049 CST.)

Hello, did they close the log yard in Mass city? love your video's

The Denmark dance, Great video!

i live in esky

Love the abandoned rail videos thanks you

Hey @KillerBee, I can definitely attest to a lot of this from the side of the entity attempting to acquire lines from a Class I. My groups always pursued multiple, specific lines, but we always came up against one bumping block: the belief that we could not afford the purchase. It was always a chicken & egg scenario because at times we could find backers for specific potential opportunities, but no deal, and others good opportunities but no backers. The big "problem" is the presence of the portfolio owners who will always be a factor since they have ready access to institutional capital that will dwarf a new entrant. That said, I haven't given up and occasionally discuss this on my channel @AllThingsTrains4022, which I invite you to follow!

Had no idea what either of these were. Now I know. Thank you for the informational video. 👍🏻

Through the magic of having 2 locomotives

Thank You . I have a Model Railway(Canada) in my basement and have been trying to figure this out.

Wow, i worked with a lot of those guys when i started in 1994 on the WC.

I love your informative videos. I can’t wait to learn more with you! Thank you for all this hard work that I assume you put into this for all of us.

Thank you for the informative video!

What mechanism is in place to protect shippers in one commodity group over another? Obviously the rates are higher for hazardous chemicals, than a bulkhead flat of lumber. Of course the risk is higher too. Therefore the expense, such as insurance is higher. Still, what prevents a railroad from focusing on one product group, and neglecting one with lower rates?

Interesting information
