- Street runner loaded coal train! Train running right down the middle of the road in Elizabeth, Pennsylvania. CSX main line in the pavement in downtown next to the river. South of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. I got lucky to catch this CSX loaded freight train. I was on my way to meet up with Millenniumforce in Strasburg, Pa and I was ahead of schedule so I stopped here to see if I could possibly film a train. The locals told me there are up to six trains a day here and that I had just missed one. I waited for a little over an hour before this one came. I was going to wait for two more hours if needed. This is another great catch to add to my street running playlist. Filmed June 26-2019 at 1:59pm. Thanks for watching! Please comment, rate and SUBSCRIBE TO JAWTOOTH!!

Sad part is that's enough coal for one day of electricity.
Nice catch Brian, those locomotives had their work cut out on that train, I know them locos had approx 9,000 HP running the traction motors but that was still a lot of loaded coal cars. GO CSX
👍👍👍😎😎😎 Cary
Made me wonder if they had enough dynamic braking for that large a haul. Guess very flat terrain.
Street Runners are great! Fully loaded coal train on top of it.Thanks for the excellent video.
Well, CSX sure can’t complain about you encroaching on RR property where you are shooting from!
A few months ago I was in Elizabeth, I saw those tracks and wondering if they were abandoned, great vid
Would love to know the concept of street running, railroads were there 1st before towns or this was their only ridaway available. Many of the old interurbans and street car companies used street running, not as many as there use to be . Need to do a study on why street running came to be .
It looks so cool, great video !

In this case it looks like the line went past a station; the tan bay-window building looks like a station to me, so may explain it. Check out 3:06 for one example...
4th car from last "crotch rot" .. must be the coal train I see come through Charleston WV once in awhile lol
Kevin Buchecker Comes every once and again through Huntington, too...there can *only* be one of those cars!
Lol
Got much night life in Elizabeth, PA?
AAAAaaa! Those BEAUTIFUL blue & yellow engines! Gotta ring my cowbell for this one! This was a GOOD long train overall! I'm binge watching your videos! Watching videos from Speaker Police brought me to your channel & that's how I discovered you! Then added your channel. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching my videos!
Nice video Brian! Street runners are the best! Thanks 🙏
Street-running trains are a wonderful enhancement to any community, and should be modeled in all popular scales. Cheers!
Hello from Brazil! Very good videos!
I see JC Penny's has their own car at 3:13~
Brian nice video. I think the boy on the bike just gave you a friendly wave. Maybe he’s a cam fan . 😂 he’s probably going to ride his bike up the track and back to pick up some free coal to burn in the winter.
Oh, my gosh-I have *never* seen this in real life!! Only in videos...do they also run those street side trains at night??
129 cars possibly coming from the coke plant down the river.
Most likely except from monessen coke plant upriver....i work across river down one town in Clairton (largest coke works in the western hemisphere) it is most likely coke...most coal feedstock is brought in by river barge
focus frenzy Thanks for counting the cars for us. 👍
Looks more like an alley way than a street.
jfreelan1964 That's what I thought too.
Obviously you've never been to Elizabeth or West Elizabeth south of Pittsburgh that's about as wide as all the streets are
Exactly! The only difference here in Erie, PA is they don't use them anymore.
Nope not an Alleyway , it is an actual street,.. First Ave to be more specific ,.( look it up on Google maps)
its a residential street
but wait....... there's not more this time
visionisscary 😂😂😂😂😂
Nice video ! Streettrains are always fun ! In the meantime the list goes on and on : Only in the USA "pure"streettrains in ± 615 towns/cities ! ; ± 1218 different locations ! ("pure"+ semi-streetrunning : ± 1038 cities/towns ! ; 1659 locations ! And in ± 73 other countries ! See the list on www.coasttram.info/street running trains ! / street running trains outside the USA . With a lot of information ! Very Much more than on wikipedia .
Super long Coal loaded Coal train down the middle of town. I will have to get out my truck driving maps and find where this town is. Thanks Jaw Tooth, enjoy looking thru your Street running trains.
Have fun! I have a lot of them. I want to film more of them in towns that I haven't been in yet
sounds good to me.@@JawTooth
That it's a big long train
Live Action, JawTooth.
Please add that all suburban fire companies are volunteer...that fire hall, equipment, and most importantly firefighters are Volunteer and equipment purchased through donations grants and fundraising
I noticed that in the sign on the building. I have the greatest respect for them.
On my 62 Birthday Awesome
Happy Birthday!
You were in Elizabeth in 2019. Elizabeth is far from Harrisburg where I live. You would go anywhere to see a street running train. Keep up the train spotting m
you always catch the neatest footage.. thanks again for sharing
Train is actually running down hill. Its heading for McKeesport, which is north, toward Pittsburgh. The Monongahela River, which is to the conductors left, is flowing in the same direction. Thus, not a hard pull. Probably do a power switch out in Riverton.
On the return trip, visit West Brownsville, PA (just south of I-70). The NS Mon Line street runs for about 3,000 feet. At Amity St crossing in Homestead, you have a choice of the 2-track NS Mon Line or 1-track CSX Pittsburgh Sub.
I am from that area. When I was real young I saw steam locomotives running down that street.
WOW! good for your video capture. Did you notice not one car had a flat spotted wheel! Out west here its easy to get a train with many defective (?) wheels pounding away. Congrates CSX!
I live across the river in Clairton. I hear these trains blowing their horns every day as they go through Elizabeth.
Dats perdy cool sheet bud! Not everyday ya have a train running down the middle of yer town! 👍👍👍👍
Lol. I was raised in a house about a mile up the tracks in the direction that train is traveling. I freaking hated trains, but that's cause my house was literally like 5 feet from the nearest rail. Trains on this track are rediculously loud, and they don't understand the concept of a whistle, they rather lay into the damn thing for like 30 seconds or more.
How long was this train Brian? the longest trains in England are only about 1/4 mile long due to congestion as we mainly run passenger services! but in the hundreds per day.
I still miss the caboose 😢
I don't blame you for almost not answering the phone when MillenniumForce called lol
Thank you for sharing always look forward to your videos :-) peace
Sorry if have not watch your video I'm busy railfanning Martinez yesterday check them out jaw tooth
Nice video! What happens if the train gets between the fire company and a call?
Beautiful Horn
I used to live in that town
Awesome! How many trains did you get to see there?
That train was so long, I thought it would have a dpu on it somewhere.
The train that you miss would be coming on a return trip in couple of hours. Right across the River is Norfolks Southern yard Shire Oak in El Rama, PA
Awesome street running train loaded with coal !
Man, there is something weird about seeing something normally separated from roads run right down the middle of one like that
Jawtooth, is there a certain town or towns you go to, where the 4 wheelers and people are just that stupid and continualy cut in front of the train?
Thanks. It's fun to see good old southwestern PA. I am originally from California and Coal Center, PA. I lived a block from the tracks. Sometimes 30 coal trains a day all hours. They would get the house shaking pretty good.
Hey Jawtooth! My brother (Cincy RailFan Productions) filmed CSXs new Tier 4 ACEs going through Covington. They looked sharp!
I live here and honestly it’s not as loud as you’d think, after awhile you don’t even notice it
Very cool catch Brian.
Wow, That was a long train, JT. When are you gonna go back to PAX and Thurmond, WV and film the CSX switching in full? Really enjoyed the first video you did there !!!
Eventually. I might be there this month or next month
I love the subjects of your videos. The only problem I have is that your zooms many times ate too abrupt. Zooms in o out should be slow and even - not jerky as some of yours are when you go down th street and then back. Try a more even zoom in or out . Makes for better videos.
Probably taking coal to the Clairton Coke Works?
CSX(just 3 letters painted on the sides) sounds so impersonal...I remember when the engines had a brighter color scheme w/the profile of a cat(Chessie System) on them. I get it - it is a business, after all....but a brighter paint job would probably make the Internet generation look up from their devices for about a minute: "Oh wow - a train! Maybe I better get off the tracks." Then they can go back to catching #Pokemon or whatever the newest craze is. An hour plus wait for a train? Wish I had that kinda time :)
An hour wait is nothing. I waited 2 days for a train at Natural Tunnel Virginia and none went by in daylight. Only 2 went through and it was dark. Worst railfan trip ever. I got back last night.
Excellent video Brian.
Damn that's a long train, I guess CSX trains take a few cues from CN Rail in Canada with insanely long trains. Lol
Wow, that was a long train!
I have a few comments/question for you, Mr Jaw Tooth. Those locomotives seemed HUGE compared to some of the other locomotives you film. Is this true? Too bad you couldn’t have taken a higher vantage point to view the coal in the cars. Next time you do a street running train, could you also include some footage where the train begins or ends the street? Could you also include, if you get the opportunity, some chat with locals on how they deal with such a train?
Thanks for the suggestions and I will see if I can do that. Those engines are bigger because the shortlines that I film have older, smaller locomotives that are only four axel. Thanks for watching Kevin!
I wondered if they were Coke cars, but they appear to be coal. The Coke is much coarser, and apparently lighter, the cars used to transport it are higher, like the cars seen, but an extension is added to the top. I worked over 20 years at the Coke plant nearby, I've been in Elizabeth often in my life, I had no idea those tracks were there. The closest ones on the street I knew of is in Brownsville PA. Learn something new everyday. Great video, I'll be looking to see if they're still active, I'll take the grandkids there one day soon, and we'll wait for a train too. Thanks much for the great work.
Thanks for your comments! Elizabeth is a great place to watch trains and there are a couple of small parks in town where you can view the river. Thanks for watching my video!
Awesome catch! Live action!
Awesome , i wish that baby would come up my street.
Did you notice that the Fayette Resources building is the old station? All the blue cars were 30**** and all the white 39****. (Well almost all)
Yes, I did. I took some pics of it
This is a very long coal train pull by two engines.
I remember putting pennies on that track to smash. 😊
Jaw tooth excellent video as usual
Never disappointed could you let us know on long trains how many
Cars
Daniel Farley can’t y’all count? 🤪😂
I went back for you and counted 2+133 approx. it's hard to count with camera movement. you have to stay focused and pick landmarks on the cars when the camera moves so you don't count them twice.
Not sure what’s harder... counting them all or not getting bored as all fit out watching them all... there’s a freakin lot!
@@Deadbuck73 I have OCD and i feel like I have to count them. but some people are worse than me. they can tell you how many of each kind of car. i just don't have that kind of memory. I love trains though.
That's my old chevy at the end and fire department
Where are you from Sir
Very nice jawtooth that was cool keep up the good work
What a perfect place to hop a train!
There must be a hell of a lot of stress and strain on the couplers near to the front of that train
Huge was right.. been cool to jump on one and ride it a few blocks.. cool video man..
Outside of Pittsburgh, Pa
Excellent catch sir. I do love a bit of street railroad, very rare here in the UK these days. Coal train was bloody huge. Thank you sir.
Hey Jaw Tooth I visited a small town in Kentucky today called Midway and it has RJ Corman railway right thru downtown between one way streets. Thought you might want to check it out sometime by the rails it seems like a busy line.
at 5:53-- just turn the car off and wait, and wait nice street
Gotta love those smoking ges
We spell Pittsburgh with an h.
Thanks for great video
I’m number 1!!!!!
Never heard of Pittsburg. Is it anything like PIttsburgh?
very similar with similar railroads
Looks more like an alleyrunner!
Cool catch Brian ! you don't realize how big these trains are until you get close up to them , a monster long CSX coal train ! You got to have lots of patients living in this town ! I'm very surprised that it only had 2 locos on the front and no DPU's !
like to see any jerk drivers try to cut in front of this "vehicle"
Wow, that's something we don't see every day, I think!
I would hate to live next-door to the track the smoke 💨 coming into the house 🏠 the horn blowing if you are napping 😴 that would not be good.
And the possibility of a derail
Hey, at least you wouldn't have to pay much for the house.
The lead had a so much flashy yellow!
the train is good train or not now
As always, an excellent job you do! Enjoy your week!
Another good video 👌
Sorry pa coal is dead
Great video as always!!!!
Very nice my dear TALENTED friend, thx for sharing!! best wishes...Reekashade💫
Wow long heavy coal train with no DPU or pushers on the rear, those two engines were working hard !! Wooooooooooo !!
Thanks for watching
I love trains
Good video
worth the wait that was a long train!
Awesome work, great dedication to get your brilliant videos online for us all around the world to see. Wayne . New Zealand
Nice catch! :)
Big like
Not so good at 3 a.m. though.
I love street running. It's one of my favorite forms of railroading.
