Indiana Short Line Railroad Switching Customer, Indiana Eastern Railroad! Huge Okeana Trestle IERR

- Indiana Eastern Railroad. Railway Switching 2 customers at the end of the railroad branch line. This shortline railway only has 2 customers on the nearly 30 miles of main line track running from Cottage Grove, Indiana with the CSX connection down to Fernald, Ohio. Trains normally run railroad east to Fernald on Mondays and Thursdays. First they switch the interchange tracks on CSX. When on CSX they operate on 160.230 during switching and use 160.320 to talk to the dispatcher. After they get back on their own tracks they switch to 160.965 for the remainder of their trip. After switching the interchange and working their sidings, they cross over the railroad diamond in Cottage Grove and then head to their 2 customers at the end of the line nearly 30 miles away. This video shows the chase including the huge trestle at Okeana, Ohio ( that I always mispronounce ). It shows some of the switching including crossing the 3 track level crossing near the end of track. This line has heavy welded rail with excellent roadbed so trains move along pretty fast. It can be a little tricky to chase since some areas don't get internet. The locomotive is an EMD GP38-2 that was recently painted in this awesome livery. IERR also has an SD9 that I have filmed and they have another dead SD9 on a siding at their shop area. I filmed this on January 23, 2020 with a lifelong friend of mine. Here is another video with the huge Okeana trestle being crossed with an S9!! • SD9 Working CSX Interc... Thanks for watching! Please leave a comment, rate and subscribe to JawTooth!

Nice addition of information on radio frequencies used by the crews. I remember when very few railfans knew about listening in on RR frequencies. Today it is common knowledge and programmable scanners are easy to find. Back in the later 1960s a friend and I saw a short article in "Trains" magazine about listening in to train talk and the range of frequencies assigned by the FCC to railroads. The article also mentioned something about crystal scanners and needing the correct crystal frequencies to operate the radio. That was the only info we could find. Only a couple stores even sold scanners in Baltimore. So, I made a trip to the FCC office at the Federal Bldg. downtown and dug through the public accessible frequency books to write down each frequency assigned to Baltimore area railroads. I gave those to my friend who called each RR to verify which of their assigned frequencies were actually active. Crystals weren't that cheap and we didn't want to blow a lot of money only to find the frequency to be dead. A couple RR people he talked to were reluctant to give out frequency information, but did so anyway when they realized we already knew them all and only needed verification of the active ones. We both bought a Bearcat crystal scanner and ordered the crystals. It was pretty cool to start hearing crews of the PRR, B&O, and WM talking about train movements.
Always enjoy these branchline/shortline/switching videos. Thanks for sharing them!
Yes, I remember back in the 70s having to spend $5 per crystal and going to Radio Shack to get them. I bought the very first programmable pocket scanner back around 1980. It was the Bearcat 100. We use to buy books every year to look the frequencies up. Today they are all on the internet and easy to find. I have one pocket scanner that has all of the normal railroad frequencies programmed in it so if I don't know what frequency they are talking on I can use that radio to find it as soon as they say something and then program it into one of my favorite scanners. The price of scanners has come way down. I use to spend $600 on a pocket scanner and today you can buy a brand new el cheapo for only $30 that does the same stuff and more than the old ones. Just be careful in the hand full of states where it is illegal to have a scanner in your car without a license. Kentucky, New York, Florida, you have to watch those states. I am a licensed Tech Plus so I am covered but sometimes you can run into an officer who isn't aware of the laws. I could write a book on that.
Yes, I still have my Bearcat 100. I bought it about the same time you bought yours after the crystal scanner died on me. Unfortunately, where I live in MD now is too far from any active rail lines to pick up chatter. I only get to use it occasionally for police/fire or the weather channel. I did hear something years ago about certain states having laws concerning scanners in cars. Thanks for the reminder.
It's nice to see a short line take pride in their engines by painting them. I wish CCET would take the time to paint theirs.
i totally agree :-)
I agree with you.
I so agree! Hand painted #2214 looks like crap.
It might not be time they are short of = $$
I'm good if they are money strapped. Lets hope the new development at half acre rd. adds some more customers. It would even be nicer if they could add a spur line into GE on Jaybird Rd. In adams county. They could transport between evendale and peebles that way.
Wow! I’m from Indiana. I love this engine all nice and shiny. Very special to see this company doing the job! May they flourish and grow.
Those old SOU high hood GP38s-2s are hard to hide. I love that color scheme.
Very nice! Love seeing these shoreline railroads doing good business and adding some character to the railroading world. Thanks!
Mr.Jawtooth, you were correct about the trestle it was worth it. The old EMD Hi-Hood geeps,and the SD's are some of my favorite locomotives. Thanks for braving the elements to bring us these fantastic videos,keep'em coming. Live action.
This is what a short line should look and sound like. Great pride of ownership, incredible office and livery. Should make many other lines embarrassed to be on the tracks. Good stuff---pass it on to those who care.
@orgcoast plus it's nice to see that they have decent track that they can run at a decent speed too.
I like the green and yellow paint on that high hood
Country Railfan same. Looks amazing
Like it myself
Thanks for watching!
John Deere green
@@JawTooth I enjoyed it have a good day my friend
That Jeep clearly went through a overhaul and it will serve Indiana Eastern My wife and I always enjoy your videos "Son!"
Thanks Dad!
@@JawTooth Sure Thing Son!
A shortline with pride.
Awesome scenery, JT. Especially at the end. The woods and the fields, looks just like where I grew up, in rural PA. There's not enough of that kind of living anymore!!!
Gotta love those high short hood Geeps! Always good to see that theres a few still plying the rails!
I really like the new paint job!
@@JawTooth The new paint job is pretty sharp as well! Now if only CCET could paint their locomotives! 😉
Awesome video. Love that old geep. Makes me want to get an undecorated model to paint up like that.
The shortline I worked for had a hodgepodge, mix matched, mis guided and mislead batch of ex C&O GP7’s...still painted in their original paint, then we went with ex CSX and Chessie painted GP16’s and 38’s, to CN painted GP40-2’s..except for the 16’s, everything finally got painted to a nice scheme. Now we’ve moved into ex CN/Alstrom rebuild SD40-3’s and these now have a pristine paint job. Something the shortline can now be proud of.
I use to live along the old C & O Indiana line where it ran through South Fairmount heading down into the railyards in Queensgate. It was sad to see the line get torn out and the trestles removed. Saw a lot of trains going to and from the cheviot yard.
That’s so awesome. Do you have any pictures?
The p5 sounds awesome and the high hood looks great
Thats one nicely kept old school locomotive. It shows they have pride in their operation. Even though it is a shortline, hopefully companies will take notice in the shape of their equipment and operation and they can pick up some more customers on the line, it would be cool to see that train and the dead one back to life pulling longer mixed freight trains with boxcars, flats, gondolas.
I live here, I'm pretty sure they restored it. A few years ago, they have a red one as well.❤
Looks like a well taken care of High Hood Locomotive.Nice job filming and following them.Thanks Brian.
I live about 20 miles away from their office and have never had a chance to see them in operation. Thanks Jaw Tooth, great footage !
I've enjoyed this video very much. It's nice to see some local duty shunting. This paint scheme truly is beautiful!
Fantastic Indian Eastern Railroad!! Great Video!
Yes yes. That GP is gorgeous. That you so much for show us. I am goin to have to make the trip out to see it myself.
Great quality footage, plenty of info, and a very nice sounding P5 horn. Thanks for sharing.
Nice paint job. Love the green and yellow. Healthy motor , not much smoke.
Love the high Good! Great video! 🌵
Still say that is the sharpest looking loco on any railroad.
Beautiful well maintained office.
I especially enjoyed this video, as I have seen the places shown here many times but have never actually seen a train running on this line. Nice to see, especially on that big trestle.
Nice high hood geep 38 and paint scheme!! 👍👍
Thanks for watching!
lol hey i walked across that trestle back when it was all wood and 5 to 10 freight trains a day !!!! good work JAW TOOTH
Great catch. Love the old Highhood.
The line is maintained well enough for the train to travel appox 30 mph. Long before the section into Cincinnati union terminal was removed, Amtrak used this to Chicago. The pace was set around 50-55 back then
That crossing in Peoria was on State Line Rd. You could stand on one side and be in Ohio and the other side would be Indiana. Nice video. 👍
Reminds me of State Line Rd between Kansas City, KS and Kansas City, MO.
As always good videoing, I did like the sharp paint scheme on the engine too, and the horse that is a rail fan, but my favorite is still those Jeeps revving up from a stop, nothing like it !!
Thank you very much!
Excellent video. Not a lot of time for map checks between segments! Had to jump in the vehicle and haul butt to the next crossing. Nice old Chevy Caprice parked at the end of the line.
Really like the paint scheme on the Geep, as always Jaw Tooth awesome short line video. 😎👍👍👍🛤🚂
Thanks Jeff!
It looks like someone hasn’t bothered to weather their new locomotive; it still has that “just out of the box” shiny, plastic look to it! 🤣 At least they bought the one with DCC and sound. 😊
William Squires Just you wait, some wise guy will tell you it’s a 1:1 scale locomotive...lol
Excellent video Brian. I like that paint scheme.
Awesome!! Great Job!! Keep up the great videos..
I live about 2 miles up the road from there. Great bridge shot, good to see the Silver Ghost again.
Good looking train for a high hood model! Awesome paint scheme.
I love the high hood locomotives my favorite is the Alco C420 and Alco s RS3
I like those also. there is a railroad in Tennessee that uses Alco and I plan on filming there.
@@JawTooth the DL in PA uses. Thos Alcos wonderful sound
Following the rail line on the map, there's an abandoned spur that leads to what is now a nature preserve. Quite a story behind that, the Fernald Preserve. Former uranium processing complex, one of the most comprehensive environmental cleanups ever done.
They had to ship all the contaminated soil out by train. Required over hauling the tracks for that. I wish I would have filmed it
@@JawTooth Is that why the tracks are in such good shape today? The cleanup was done in the 1990s to early 2000s, right?
Another cracking video Thanks for sharing !
The GP38 was a cool suprise when I saw it for the first time. Looks really Good.
Oh man absolutely love that paint scheme!
Very nice paint on that locomotive, I recently saw a picture of that new scheme in a magazine
Hello and good day. That was a cool bridge. I love that green and yellow engine. One of my favorites!
Nicely painted engine. Also filmed on my birthday. Great job thank you from Prescott AZ.
Nice video, Lot's of Live action, Switching action, and an Awesome Train Horn, Loved it. Thank you , Sir. Bet you will be glad to get to Florida and be out of the cold.
What a nice little railroad
That high nose SD38-2 looks terrific. Brilliant shot crossing the road diagonally in front of you at 6:25.
Thank you!
I agree with everyone; the engine looks and runs great; real pride in that short line. Wondering what the heck that building is in Fernald, looks like an old grain elevator but has additions. Somebody live in there ?? Great vid JT, will try to visit this road soon..
That Geep was based in Savannah, Georgia when I hired with NS in 2016! Glad to see it remained a High Hood!!
Great looking short line, thanks again for a great video, Bro. Jaw tooth.😇
What a good looking locomotive, superb train action! Liked!👍
Love that green high hood EMD 5255 GP38-2. (Watching from Fort Wayne, IN). Nice catch.
Nice bright livery -must be making money to do that -another good catch by Jawtooth ! These short lines are far more interesting than the big boys -much better action !
Regards
That is a Beautiful engine..I love the paint scheme..go indiana
Thank you JAWTOOTH team and minmilforce.....(Since you guys film together)For what we call in Washington state ....JAWTOOTH Transloads Scouting for his Railway Customers. YOUR TEAM SHOULD START A TRANSLOADS consultation .helping customers finding available spurs to load and unload Railway Cars....Good inspiration JAWTOOTH
My goodness igp 38-2 High Hood quite rare to see one of those kicking around and working
That Geep looks great. 👍👍👍
Beautiful engine love the sound
Ooh! Love the paint job on that first one!
Wow great video always nice to see a high hood in action .
no mistaken the heritage of that locomotive either sight or sound. Great live action JT
Cool old bridges great shoots of them
Hello Martin! “Start the Video, Son”. You put a Lot of Miles on your Wheels for us. Thanks! 👍
I'm getting ready to head back to Florida to film trains there again also
Nice video man.. sorry haven't been on the tube for awhile.. go Hoosiers!!!.. lol
Thanks for coming back and watching my video Daniel!
This was the former C&O mainline from Cincinnati to Chicago, it now ends before
the Great Miami river “ old bridge columns still in the river “when intact this line went down through Bridgetown Cheviot and Price Hill . If you go to the Cincinnati Eastern railroad FB page , I’ve posted many pictures of how this line looked down through Bridgetown , Cheviot and Price Hill many years ago , this line was abandoned from Cincinnati to this point in 1979
The tall trestles through Price Hill were such a cool sight to see
Jeff from Dallas
Cool, I have never been on that FaceBook page. I will check it out when I get back from Florida. Have a great weekend Jeff!
Wow I haven't seen one of those high nose locomotives in over 30 years. I didn't know some of those were still in service. Only thing I didn't like about those was you could only see one side of the track instead of a full panaramic view.
Nice action, I live about 5 miles from this location. you may know this already about the line. The north south run is what remains of the C&O that rain north thru boston,in continuing to richmond,in with the line ending there now. I believe the richmond depot may still be standing. there are still some switching yards on the south side of richmond by the recycling center. back in the day it also connected with the PRR just to the north of the C&O depot. it serviced a lot of industries back in the day. it continued north northwest to muncie,in and beyond. Cant remember when it was abandoned for sure,30 + years. cardinal greenway bike and walking now that still goes all the way from richmond to muncie. I have some footage of the SD9 that is sitting on the siding.
Awesome and thanks for watching!
That old Geep looks in great shape.
Might as well be called the Sprite engine because of the lemon & lime color! Cute! 😊
That 38-2 may be an oldie but it looks good in that green and yellow livery.
Excellent Video Jaw Tooth
🇮🇳🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂
Awesome video.
At fifteen minutes into the video I noticed something a little interesting about the top of the cab of that locomotive ,along with the old firecracker style VHF antennas is what looks like an 18 inch whip antenna with a grey band in the middle . Now those kind of antennas are usually for UHF radios , wonder why that's on a locomotive considering most railroad communications is VHF-high band in the 160 to 161 MHz band .
Their main frequency is 160.965. I don't think they use UHF except for the end of train device
@@JawTooth True ,but I've seen those kind of mobile whip antennas on vehicles that had radios in the 453 and 460 MHz band . Someone in one of the other comments suggested that locomotive might be equipped for radio control .
I like that they thoughtfully put a rotating orange light on their cab roof, hopefully it's in use when necessary. How many large railroads think to put something so simple on their own locomotives?
Those are actually on there because it was a RCO unit at NS
Thyxs Jaw nice video,and paint scheme..
Keep those short line videos coming. This one is a perfect example. More to see. What two industries at the end of the line? What was in those tank cars? Coming in empty? Or shipping out? Or both? Please tell us.
I don't remember now but it would be easy to look up, starting with Google Maps to see what the two companies are. I need to get back there again soon
Them old high hoods are good looking engines
@Tony Freeman I've always wondered what those High hoods look like on the inside is there only a seat on each side or behind the hood does it go all the way across like a like a wide cab except there's not the window all across it instead the high hood?
Paint looks great! The only thing I'd do differently is put green striping on the nose.
A high hood GP38-2 would be worth the trip. Thanks for the video.
Good footage there!
Thank you for sharing!
great video and cool to see the same train in 2 states
Brian, IER must have one heck of a track MOW team, I dont see ANY issues of the rails or ties at all. not like some of the lines in NW Ohio and NE Ind.
CSX had a lot to do with the condition of that rail line. They replaced that bridge from wood to steel. They were moving that contaminated soil out of the old Fernald uranium processing plant for years.
Awesome video and love that old geep!!!
Nice paintjob on 5255!
Is that a new paint scheme? Nice.
Yes and the first time in a decade that they have used their own livery
@@JawTooth cool. I think they have a mess of storage tank cars
On a track outside of Boston, IN.
which is south of Richmond.
Smitty SF-3751
I am branching out on my railroading, cool video. Either I was a sleep back in 1982 or just lost. Was all those short line railroad around then.
Inquiring mines would like to KNOW.
Love the American Flag on the side of the locomotive 👍
Great video
fun fact about this line You mentioned fernold Which was a nuclear power plant electric In cincinnati This track was built to get rid of the taint it dirt that was full of radiation . When the plant melted down
Nice high hood.
I kept thinking that was a GP-9,but it's actually a GP-38-2,interesting.
I like this video buddy it's really nice....
Hey, thanks
I wish they kept the whole line open, to where it would cross 128 and go through dent and across Bridgetown, though sadly it was all tore out in 1983.
Great video! I can't figure out why any thumbs down? Love short lines!
