I agree to an extent. I am from Wisconsin and have learned to dress right for the cold. But then again, for us, 28 degrees is a heatwave. Thumbs-up J.T.
@@JawTooth I was going to recommend that you wet your hands down with warm or hot water at the nearest convenience store, but I think I know how you unfroze your hands instead (the switch heaters).
Really appreciate the sacrifice you made to catch that double length continuous rail train in the freezing weather. Stay warm and keep up the good work.
Nice to hear a real bell on the gate for the 1st train. And a steel bell on the 2nd train's loco. You don't hear them much anymore. 👍 Rail train was awesome too! It's neat seeing those rails unloaded at the worksite too. Thanks for the video JT.
I think that the rails on the car weigh around 60 kg per meter. With a quarter mile, that makes 27 tons of pro schiene. With 48 rails per transport unit, that makes 1296 tons, the whole time 2 plus the wagons .... then I come to about 3200 tons for the whole train. On a flat track, this is feasible for an AC. Greetings from Berlin/ Germany. Sven
Great video. It was amazing how those heavy metal rails bend with the turn. You really caught a good one. Too bad your son wasn't really there to help with the cold weather photography. You need some good gloves that are thin but insulated for days like this
Wow! What a sight to see! I was gritting me teeth as the train was going around the curve! It amazes me all the unique machinery it takes to keep up a railroad! Those wheels and tracks are screaming! Lol.. wow! One engine for all that! Fabulous video! Now go get warmed up! Lol.. thank you again for such great content!
Great catch - those switch heaters are really cool to look at - on the LIRR at Jamaica Station looking east, at night you can see the switch heaters lit up with blue flames due to the burning propane gas used to melt the ice. See if you can catch that on the CSX line after dark for some surreal visuals.
Been watching your videos for quite some time. First time I've commented. This is the first CWR train I have ever seen that had TWO units of rail on the train. Awesome job!
1-Thumbs up for braving the elements to railfan. 2- Great catch on the mixed freight CSX. I think I saw every type of rail car ever built. 3- I noticed that many of the flat cars supporting the welded rail were still stenciled N&W or Southern. I guess just being M.O.W. cars they're low priority to be relabeled.
Am,azing how that welded rail flexes around that tight bend. Incredible footage, Brian. You must have been stoked when you realised what you were filming.
Working in the mill for about 30 years. Tons of in-plant and outside-plant trains. They used to move rail through the plant on, essentially a set of train wheels periodically spaced, and they'd switch from one track to the other, and the rails conformed to the shape needed, then straightened out on the straight away. Never seen welded rail as long as you showed on this train. We had railed equipment, not trains, but this equipment went into corrosive areas, they actually used Stainless Track Spikes, never seen them used elsewhere.
Wooooooow Jaw Tooth that was a awesome video I like the long CSX train and Norfolk Southern with the long rail cars and work trains that was soooo cool.
Jaw Tooth, had to share, saw a 3-train meet up at Deshler, OH today. Never seen that before. West bound turning south; northbound turning west, and an eastbound. Amazing! Enjoy your vids!
Dang Son ! …………..that was awesome ! Beauty must suffer (lol) ..you are one dedicated dude that keeps us other train nuts with a passion for TRAINS !!! Brian keep it up ……love it .
Unbelievable and amazing. Takes me back to when, as a student, I was working on long welders on the Great Western Railway in England...hope those hands have thawed out now!
Got to get yourself some good gloves (if you don't have them already!) for the winter time, JT!! That's along time to wait filming a train without them!!
I know what you meant when you said it was really cool, but it appears that it was really cold! Have never seen rails that long. Would be interesting to see how they are loaded and unloaded. Thanks for braving the elements to keep us all entertained!
Thanks for hanging in the cold snow JT!! That welded rail train was the coolest train I EVER saw!!! Looks like 30 miles of rail - looks like 2.5 miles on each layer. But they looked a lot longer than 1/4 mile long. It got so cold here in Ann Arbor once people couldn't talk to each other because the words would fall on the ground!
Nice to look at such a spaghetti train. Especially because the rails have not yet rusted and are therefore still nice steel gray. For this video I send you 20 degrees Celsius plus, so to warm up. In Berlin we still don't have snow but we have had wind for hours with wind forces around 100 km/h. Greetings from Berlin/ Germany. Sven
NS just replaced the rails through my town, they had their MOW equipment and cars with rails in the siding nearby. Was really cool to see them pulling up and replacing it. They left spikes and plates everywhere when they were done.
Another great video catch Jawtooth! A lot of comments on watching all that rail making it around those sharp turns. I'll add that I think the rails are made of T-1 Tool Steel, the same as hammer heads and good wrenches.
The was truly awesome, Jaw Tooth! I've never seen an MOW rail train moving to a job site. I'm surprised that the train made it around to curve without a mishap. Thanks for enduring the cold wind to share this!
You know those M.O.W trains are a headache for dispatchers to deal with because they run on slow orders and back up the Railroad!! That was a awesome catch JT!!!
Two nice train catches in Hamilton, Ohio, Jaw Tooth! The Norfolk Southern continuous welded rail train was the longest welded rail train I have ever seen. It appeared to be two welded rail trains that were combined into one train for transport. I hope you were able to warm up once you got back into your truck and started on your way home. Thank you for going to Hamilton, Ohio to capture these two trains.
Great video Jawtooth! I've never saw a continuous welded rail train in person before, only saw them in videos! I've saw alot of them come through Deshler on the VR cam, I'd love to see one in person someday! Sure was a long one for one engine! Thanks for sharing!
Everyone should give a thumbs up for JT's braving the elements to giving us a great video!
I'll give him two more! 👍👍
I agree to an extent. I am from Wisconsin and have learned to dress right for the cold. But then again, for us, 28 degrees is a heatwave.
Thumbs-up J.T.
Thanks for your support!

Done.
Hi JT good afternoon how is everything hopefully good for you I just piped in to see your videos wonderful snow trains beautiful thanks again JT ❤
Thanks 👍. We are doing fine. Today it is really cold but next week it is going to warm up
I was thinking the same thing when I saw that open boxcar...Shoestring? I love seeing Norfie and Chessie and how they've grown!
JT the hardest working man in the train chasing business! Shine on you crazy diamond.
Really enjoyed seeing those Southern boxcars! Thanks, JT for braving the elements to film this episode!
Really appreciate the sacrifice you made to catch that double length continuous rail train in the freezing weather. Stay warm and keep up the good work.
That welded rail train was so cool, it nearly froze your fingers. Thanks for braving the elements for us JT!
That was way too cool . I have never seen that much welded metal on one train before. Great catch.
Nice to hear a real bell on the gate for the 1st train. And a steel bell on the 2nd train's loco. You don't hear them much anymore. 👍 Rail train was awesome too! It's neat seeing those rails unloaded at the worksite too. Thanks for the video JT.
amazing train chessy is a beautiful looking dog
Now THAT was mega impressive. I have never seen welded rail like that before. Great job Jaw Tooth.
Thank you very much!
Wow! Great video! What I would like to see is how they get those rails on and off the train. One of your best videos, super job ! Thanks.👌
That CWR going around the bend. Great catch! Thanks JT
Great location in the Snow ❄️ ⛄️ and on a Curve. Thanks for Braving the Cold 🥶 and Snow ❄️ to record this content. 👍
Thanks for your dedication to giving us great views in all weather.
Zip up your coat man! If your cold zip up the coat JT!!! 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🤣🤣🤣
I was amazed that just one locomotive could haul such a long train.
I was thinking the same thing. I kept watching for a DPU that never came.
@@michaelgarrity6090 Same here , what was the tonnage of that train, with all those rails?
I think that the rails on the car weigh around 60 kg per meter. With a quarter mile, that makes 27 tons of pro schiene.

Me too I couldn’t believe it I had roll back the video to see if I missed the one in the middle
Wow! What a sight to see! I was gritting me teeth as the train was going around the curve! It amazes me all the unique machinery it takes to keep up a railroad!
Those wheels and tracks are screaming! Lol.. wow! One engine for all that! Fabulous video! Now go get warmed up! Lol.. thank you again for such great content!
Now I know why they use track greasers,, for when they take track trains around such tight corners.
Thank you for braving the cold and the wind to bring us this video. Very interesting. Keep up the great work.
Great catch 🚂🤞 God bless hope to see you soon on the rails some of the day!
An amazing sight to see the ribbon rails go around the curve! 73
I hope your hands are okay. Keep warm out there!
I have not ever seen great long lail train . And snow day . Jaw tooth thank you very much !
Wow! All that one piece rail and going around a curve at that! Another great video. Well done JT. 👍
Good afternoon to all from SE Louisiana 29 Jan 22.
Thanks for being out in the snow and cold air to film these!
Great video Jawtooth. That was long train. Try and stay warm my friend.
NICE JT! A very COOL CSX mixed freight train and an AWESOME NORFOLK SOUTHERN MOW train in the snow.
Great catch - those switch heaters are really cool to look at - on the LIRR at Jamaica Station looking east, at night you can see the switch heaters lit up with blue flames due to the burning propane gas used to melt the ice.

Very AWESOME CSX mixed freight train and a very AWESOME NORFOLK SOUTHERN mow train in the snow. NICE catch JT, and thanks for sharing!
Lovely norfie💕 7 centerbeam cars and awesome long rail hauling. Thanks JT in that cold weather.
Am,azing how that welded rail flexes around that tight bend. Incredible footage, Brian. You must have been stoked when you realised what you were filming.
Great snow and train video and the small engine lights blinking

We had railed equipment, not trains, but this equipment went into corrosive areas, they actually used Stainless Track Spikes, never seen them used elsewhere.
Stainless Steel track spikes would have cost extra primo. Did they hold up as well as standard spikes?
It's amazing the flexibility of the long rails that bend with ease!
pull a pin, they don't bend so easy coupling back up.
super interesting stuff!
a drone shot of it flying over of it changing tracks and going around that sharp corner would be amazing to see!!!
Cool idea!
Thanks for the insight! 😁😄
Wooooooow Jaw Tooth that was a awesome video I like the long CSX train and Norfolk Southern with the long rail cars and work trains that was soooo cool.
doesn't seem like it would be possible for all of that continuous track to get around that corner - - really cool catch JT !
Trains and snow a winning combination. Winer scenes always great.
Jaw Tooth, had to share, saw a 3-train meet up at Deshler, OH today. Never seen that before. West bound turning south; northbound turning west, and an eastbound. Amazing! Enjoy your vids!

Unbelievable and amazing. Takes me back to when, as a student, I was working on long welders on the Great Western Railway in England...hope those hands have thawed out now!
Thanks for putting up with the pain in your fingers for all us viewers. We do appreciate your hard work!
Railfanning in a snow storm makes for interesting video.
It's amazing that those rails bent around those sharp curves in that extreme temperature. A testament to a great alloy! Thanks for the video.
ANOTHER EXCELLENT VIDEO .. ALWAYS SOMETHING GREAT FROM YOU JT
Man, your dedicated. No one can take that from ya!! Two welded rail trains together!! I never seen that before. Thanks
Got to get yourself some good gloves (if you don't have them already!) for the winter time, JT!! That's along time to wait filming a train without them!!
I know what you meant when you said it was really cool, but it appears that it was really cold! Have never seen rails that long. Would be interesting to see how they are loaded and unloaded. Thanks for braving the elements to keep us all entertained!
Blessings to you, thank you so much for filming despite the freezing weather :) Always enjoy the pets too :)
That is awesome the continuous rail on load
That's soldiering on, JT. Well Done!
Dude, you have so much dedication to stand out in that cold weather, that definitely deserves a thumbs up😉
Awesome footage. You done good
Great job thanks mate. Chris from England.
Hello England
@@michaelhewitt258 Hello Michael have a great day.
Awesome shot of that curve, I sure don't miss that snow. Great job JT
Thanks for hanging in the cold snow JT!! That welded rail train was the coolest train I EVER saw!!! Looks like 30 miles of rail - looks like 2.5 miles on each layer. But they looked a lot longer than 1/4 mile long.
It got so cold here in Ann Arbor once people couldn't talk to each other because the words would fall on the ground!
The pulling power of AC locomotives is Amazing.
Awesome video - nice photography. I never saw rail go around a curve like that. Thanks, Jaw Tooth.
Wow!! I am really impressed. Great Job Mr. Jaw Tooth! Take care with the low temperatures. Bravooo!! 😀👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Very interesting catch Son 👍👍👍 Thx for braving that cold weather for us !!!
Those Southern box cars were so cool.
neat train . never saw one like that. thanks
That was pretty cool, Jaw Tooth. Appreciate you being out there and delivering a great video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you JT for another great video, you are the best.

Great video Jaw Tooth. I've never seen one like this! Ribbon rail was all some. Thank
Great video Jawtooth that 2nd train was pretty Iong I like the location that it's set In we got a little snow down here too
Thank you very much!
Great job!
NS just replaced the rails through my town, they had their MOW equipment and cars with rails in the siding nearby. Was really cool to see them pulling up and replacing it. They left spikes and plates everywhere when they were done.
What a noisy turnout heater!!!
Thanks for putting up with the weather for us rail fans really appreciate you for doing this.
Good Morning Jawtooth!!
Wow! Imagine the weight of all that rail!!😯 👍🏼
Another great video catch Jawtooth! A lot of comments on watching all that rail making it around those sharp turns. I'll add that I think the rails are made of T-1 Tool Steel, the same as hammer heads and good wrenches.

I thought I was the only person who thought a mishap might arise.
So glad your post was able to reassure me.
You know those M.O.W trains are a
headache for dispatchers to deal
with because they run on slow orders and back up the Railroad!!
That was a awesome catch JT!!!
Can you imagine a de-rail of those 1/4 mile long payload rails?
Two nice train catches in Hamilton, Ohio, Jaw Tooth! The Norfolk Southern continuous welded rail train was the longest welded rail train I have ever seen. It appeared to be two welded rail trains that were combined into one train for transport. I hope you were able to warm up once you got back into your truck and started on your way home. Thank you for going to Hamilton, Ohio to capture these two trains.
Cool and a Great 👍🏻 Catch! Thanks and God bless!
I love this man’s videos and his cat!
amazing Brian this was totally rad lol thank you I enjoyed this catch, please stay warm 🙂 BTW that a long rail train
Another great catch. I know the weather is rough on the photographer but the snow really adds to the effect. Thanks.
Thank you for braving that vicious wind in order to bring us a great video! Watch out for frostbite!
Will do!
Amazing JT, that rail carrying train, watched it twice! thanks for filming it in freezing conditions!
Glad you enjoyed it!
That was an awesome video!!! CWR train is a great catch!! Brave the elements but great work!!!
Great Rail Train. Good job Jaw Tooth. Get you some Wool Gloves. 😊.
This was a very good video, with this huge train...it's amazing!!
Saw you at Butler. Great day of snow railfanning. The Pennsylvania Heritage came through shortly after you left.
Great video Jawtooth! I've never saw a continuous welded rail train in person before, only saw them in videos! I've saw alot of them come through Deshler on the VR cam, I'd love to see one in person someday! Sure was a long one for one engine! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for braving the cold to get the welded rail train
You bet
Another awesome video! Thanks!
WOW....just WOW...thanks for you´re filming those wunderfull Trains in the Snow.
Greetings from Germany. 👍
Thank you very much!
That was a great video..lot of rail on those flats. Good work JT!
Awesome mixed and railtrain JT!!!!
Wow, love that sound coming off the heated track, Awesome!
Oh yeah!
Incredible catch in the snow and cold. 1st time ever seeing a CWR! Thx!!
Thank you very much!
Amazing catch of the welded rail!
Good morning Brian, this vlog is really one of your best.👍🇺🇸🇩🇪
