Train Traffic Jam - Heavy Stone Train Struggles to Keep Up!

- I chase a heavy ballast train with nice sounding locomotives that struggles to make track speed, all while opposing train traffic stacks up at the DORF control point making for some busy west and eastbound action on the Norfolk Southern Harrisburg Line! I was rather impressed that a lone 3000 horsepower slug set was able to pull all that weight up the hill.
The previous video has some more trains and context from this location, so please check it out! • One Train Waits for th...
While I'm not a big fan of NS anymore, as they seemingly are doing whatever they can to make train crews' live even more miserable than they were previously, I give you mega props for an excellent production: footage, cuts, radio chatter, and well-timed explainations that don't override the natural sounds of railroading.
Makes a big difference when you get an explanation of what’s happening in a video and know what some of the hardware does, thank you.
I’m a car guy but I see the interest in trains. But I really love the passion you train guys have. Next level right here.
I’m a commercial pilot and this all sounds very familiar to me. I had supposed that train traffic sounded like aircraft traffic but shocked at exactly how much! Cool video, great commentary but really loved the radio chatter.
That's why I love UA-cam, you can find videos made by passionate people about pretty much anything, and a lot of these stuff are quality content. What a time to be alive hehe !
It takes talent to turn these boring trains into an interesting video. I watched all the way through without getting bored. Great work!
What a cool post. So neat to hear the chatter on the radio. Be safe out there.
I came upon a torn up siding today in Sacramento, was shocked when I looked at the discarded rail from the old siding switch and saw the date was 2005. Looks like it had been sitting next to the main line for much longer than that. The siding was right across from the Siemens yard. The main line was still used but half of the rail for the siding was in the culvert next to it. Each industrial leg dropped 3 feet off the ballast to cross the road. Must have been a pain to use, especially as it acts as access for a winery, lumber yard, and a grout/cement factory. I have to go spotting their soon. Siemens is so loaded with cars that they can't even get them all behind the anti-rock-throwing net. Makes an amazing backdrop.
Videos like these make me appreciate the multitude of people in the transportation industries. A thousand interactions occur nationally per hour in such a seamless manner that we rarely see them in the news. Hats off to the men and women who make this happen every day!
Probably the best train video I have seen. Very informative.
Nice to see freshly painted cars, I get tired of the graffiti. Beautiful photography!
NS seems to love underpowering their heaviest sets. At least CSX would've slapped a GP40 in isolation lol

A really well made production! Great camera work and informative narration makes this a pleasure to watch , plus the cab chatter is a bonus! The traction motor blower fans would of been working overtime on that climb for sure, kicking up all that dust
Interesting and eye-opening in its way. The stations in Reading, Pa. aren't quite the same as the stations in Reading, Berkshire, UK!! Thank you 😃
I was walking along the track in Santa Cruz, CA. around twenty years ago and saw a rail marked "Carnegie 99", so around 100 years old at the time. It was very warn. The top of the rail was down to about 1/2" thick with noticeable cracking along the length. The line renewed a few years later with new track. The line was serving the local Wrigley's chewing gum plant (bulk corn syrup and sugar) and a cement plant in Davenport, CA. Both are now closed.
Great video, love seeing Black NS loco's and the radio is a great touch thank you from downunder
That station would be a great spot for a virtual rail fan camera.
This is a darn good video. Very interesting and just the right amount of quality narrative.
Not often but sometimes I watch rail fan videos, this one has been the most informative and entertaining one I’ve seen .
