I loved that night train awesome. That business that had the rail spur going to it, you never know one day or might get used again. Thanks for the video Brian stay well roll on
Thanks Mark! I was a little surprised that the night train came out better than I expected. I will include one every once in a while. Tomorrow I am going to try to Railfan a line that only gets 4 trains every 24 hours and less on weekends. I will probably be there until I get the second one at night. Lol. 2 is my goal tomorrow on that line. Good thing they leave the track in place to the industry because once it is out it gets very difficult to get it back in. Thanks again for your super chat support and have a great weekend!
Fantastic video JT! Great catches and really like the evening / night shots!..and when you show points of interest in the surrounding area. 🚂🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃💯👍🇺🇸
I graduated in 1974 from Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana. I lived in a rented house in Lafayette, Indiana. Can't believe it was so long ago and I have never been back. Thanks, Señor Jaws. This took me back... as it actually got me singing a few bars of ... Soap, Soap, Soap, Soap, Soap, Soap, Soap, Soap... ... ...Oh, sorry. Just singing about 8 bars... (I don't remember the lyrics)...RT in Colonia Centro Histórico, Puebla, México...
I enjoyed watching this video compilation of trains that you have seen in 2024 that you had not previously uploaded. This video took us to several locations in Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky. The segment of the video in Franklin, Ohio showing the industrial spur track that is now mostly abandoned was a good lesson in railroad archeology. The rear end DPU on the loaded Norfolk Southern daily steel coils train that you caught on The Hill in Crescent Springs, Kentucky was working hard shoving the train. You caught that "night" view the CSX at the right time. There was just enough daylight left and with the help of car headlights we were able to see the freight cars as they passed your location. (Posted 18 July 2024 at 1211 CDT.)
Another great morning of train action in Ohio and Indiana with great crossings to watch the trains at, the street tracks going down the middle of the college campus, abandoned tracks and of course the awesome amazing live action pets with the great music slide show and as always Thanks Jaw Tooth.🇺🇲🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚂🇺🇲
That was a good mixed freight to start with, JT. Pretty long with a nice variety of freight. The caboose is great, too! Especially if they allow dogs to travel! 😃😃😃😃❤❤❤❤
Like the way the crummy is done up like the old HO Tyco passenger cars. Great local rail archeology update. Thanks for the night shot. Enjoyed this one much, thanks JT!
I really liked the dusk shot in Sharonville? It was kind of hard to tell where the gondolas began and ended, but it was a great train! Thank you, my friend. 😃😃😃😃❤❤❤❤
I sure enjoyed your video today. Lots of great trains, scenery, and urban history! Seeing Norfi playing in the sun reminds me, how do Norfi and Tom get along? I wish you a safe and successful day. Please be careful in all you do! We'll chat later. 😃😃😃😃😃😂❤❤❤❤❤
The coil steel train was fabulous, JT! It had some massive coils on there. The DPU was working hard and sounding awesome! That was so cool 😎 when they put the excavator on the tracks with a high rail set-up! I sure wasn't aware they could do that, but I guess it makes sense. 🙂🙂🙂🙂❤❤❤❤
I enjoyed the tours of Franklin and Bargersville, JT. I've heard of Franklin before, but I've never been there. The mixed freight after the tour was excellent! Fairly fast and lots of different types of freight. Thank you, JT. 😀😃😀😃❤❤❤❤
Another awesome video JT, even though you had to go all over the country to get it put together lol but anyway, my friend you stay safe out there and watch your back and I mean watch your back and we’ll catch you on the next one
Awesome video as always. I have a relative that works for the Louisville & Indiana Railroad, he is married to my cousin, they live in Jeffersonville Indiana. About a year ago he got promoted to Train Master.
You really caught my attention from the first few seconds on this one! I live a little east of Franklin, Pennsylvania so it seemed funny to hear you in Franklin, Indiana. That station was so nicely converted to it's retail life. They saved the essence and charm of the railroad station. It's always sad to see so much track being unused, but economics is economics and so it goes. We have had almost all track removed in my area. Glad I still remember it from my childhood. And Jaw Tooth, CONGRATULATIONS"! I see you finally got the cat to cooperate and get some great video of it. LOL!! Really enjoyed this video - lots of cool stuff as usual. I've been letting you have some slack (no railroad pun intended) with the radar gun, but....... Keep up the good work, son! Greatly appreciate the time and money you invest; Heidi and I thoroughly enjoy your videos. (Please check your yahoo email if you can - I sent you a confidential message) "May God continue to protect and bless you"
Great video Jawtooth! I got tickled when you showed the silhouettes in the caboose windows, one of them is Benjamin Franklin 😊! Cool town! Great catches!👍
Hey jaw tooth a lot of cool towns you visit. Awesome trains. Rail crossings are my favorite places to watch trains. Wish the industry would use rail service. Since they have track going to their building. Hope your mouth is feeling better. Have a great railroad day. 🚂🙋♀️
thanks for watching! I used to never do night trains but since I have been getting positive comments on my recent ones I will do one every once in a while
Hi JT love this place, its a lovely town with the old station & caboose. Awesome trains. INDIANA a fsb state for railfans. Love & hugs to all your pets & hope Tom is still settling in. ❤😊👍we are going to our local animal sanctuary Saturday to hopefully get a kitten! 🐈
Today's trip was actually like a little travelogue. That first grade crossing had a sizable bike path which rated its own crossing gates Always a treat to see the coil train and.that caboose is odd with the window figures I guess that's Chessie at the end one. Even though you didn't catch a train in the one town that's a cool old metal clad elevator and when you turned around judging by the space between the tracks is probably where the depot and or Freight House were located. As always I was cheering you on to please turn and go around the corner or cross the tracks and see where that siding wound up. Actually to find the 5 flat cars is rare enough any odds are the L&I. Never made it to the end of the line. Amazingly that roll up door looks like it could take one of the new taller TBOX cars That sure would be a neat spot to see a unit winding through all those curves but your walking tour certainly helped whet the appetite
Thanks for your comments Paul! A few years ago I found an industrial spur off of the L&I at Columbus, Indiana. I got a motel room there with a view of the tracks and was lucky to catch a train working the 2 mile long or so spur. The footage of the train going into the building at the very last foot of track was really cool. I also filmed a yellow train with rock coming off the spur. Thanks for watching!
@@JawTooth I was born in Franklin, lived in Whiteland and Greenwood. Grew up in Florida, now live in Georgia. In fact, before I moved to Georgia, I lived in Wauchula, FL. Didn't your mom live in Wauchula at one time, and you were helping her move in one of your videos?
I very much enjoyed the look at the abandoned and out of service tracks! Whenever I see tracks like that, I always try to imagine what it was like years ago when the tracks were in service. It makes me a little sad that they are no longer needed. Also, as a big fan of The Office who grew up in the city, I did not know that there was a difference between hay and straw. Now I do! 😄
I was trying to imagine when that spur was in use what type locomotives used it. I would say they were small switchers due to the small size of rail. Horses and cows definitely know the difference between hay and straw. Lol, thanks for watching!
Good Franklin and Bargersville stuff - I have lived in Johnson County Indiana for 70 years. The line through Franklin-Whiteland-Greenwood is the old Pennsylvania RR (Indy to Louisville.) I believe the abandoned spur in Franklin served the Arvin Industries plants. Arvin in Franklin opened in 1934 and lasted almost 70 years. It was half a million square feet when closed. They started with tire pumps and made stuff like auto exhausts and mufflers and finally catalytic converters. The Franklin station was a small RR museum once, not sure if it still is. I think the Bargersville tracks are on the old Illinois Central line.
I see a lot of trains at this crossing. I live about 14 miles away from where you shot this video. Where you shot the video was the north end of Franklin, IN about 24 miles south of Indianapolis.
From 1967 through the 70’s I made many runs on that line as brakeman and conductor. I also held the PRR yard job during the PC days. As a NYC man the crew wasn’t very happy. Going back to the 60’s my dad worked maintenance of way running a bulldozer. He went out to a wreck site and buried Several Covair automobiles in a field off the right of way. I don’t remember anymore were on the line or how many or where it happened.
Wow, that is some awesome info! I love reading historic things like this. Thats the kind of stuff I see in Trains Magazine. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Jeez, you were 10 miles from my house. The L&I was the our back property line when it was the Pennsy years ago. The INRR is former IC. They lost most all of their coal traffic when the Stout power plant went gas. INRR has a cool double stack move via a CN run through between Chicago and Indy. The L&I also serves Camp Atterbury in Edinburgh, In. Military equipment on flatcars. Much activity in the summer. Nice intermediate yard. Let me know when you're in the Indy area.
I looked up Camp Atterbury on Google Maps. It looks like they recently added the tracks out there and made a small rail yard to load the military equipment . That is really cool especially to film a military train. thanks for watching!
I remember my brother going to Morehead one summer in the pre-Amtrak days for some kind of broadcasting thing, I think. The C&O line was still open then, and he took the George Washington back to Louisville when his program was finished.
Awesome! that would have been a little before I got there. I was there from 79 to 83 and I came back in 85 to watch them remove the tracks. Morehead was really awesome when the trains were there
. 24:15 that *"**#Excavator**"* was a very BiG Surprise 😊 Every time I've seen train derailments , the #Excavators always came to the wreck sight on long oversized flatbed tractor trailers.
Mr jawtooth my aunt lives here I remember this area my cousin graduated back in 2013 or 2014 but yes I do remember this area you in Greenwood because I’m sure they have a railroad track too
We got a line off the western rail yard called the Shore Line. it was abandoned in the eighties but now in 2024 the city of Saint John desires to expand a industrial park. possible new life for the Shore line.
CSX use's this line to get from Louisville to Avon yard west of Indianapolis and some Trains to the East (old NYC/Conrail St. Louis main) this line was originally was the J.M&I ( JEFFERSONVILLE, MADISON & INDIANAPOLIS) then the Pennsylvania, Penn Central, Conrail then around '92 the Louisville & Indiana was born, before the breakup of Conrail this line ran several thru Trains and a switcher out of Columbus yard but now just a couple of turn jobs ( the C-J Columbus to Jeff and the C-A Columbus to Avon jobs) my buddy worked for them in the 90's and the building at the end of the line in Franklin was Arvin Meritor and at ĺeast then they would go there several times a week, thanks JT!
Thanks for the info! I plan on coming back and trying again. I spent 2 nights at Franklin but just couldn't get an L&I train. I do have a video that I filmed maybe 4 years ago where a train backed a car into the building at the very end of the spur in Columbus. Back then I got several trains. Anyway, thanks for watching!
I'm going to guess this track has not been used since the Arvin facility closed in around 2002 in the Frankllin area. It is very hard to get a train in Bargersville. I only caught four there in the last three years. The tracks going through Bargersville are ran by the Indiana Railroad and usually have a northbounder in the morning and a southbounder in the evening. Not as many as Franklin, IN where about 6 trains a day run on it.
I can't believe they just didn't take out those rails that they don't use anymore, Brian. They just poured tar or gravel over it all and let the grass over it.
they probably will take them out some day and sell for scrap. If they leave them it is easier to restore rail service if they ever wanted to. Once the track is gone it is very difficult to restore it. The neighbours usually fight track restoration
Franklin is a cool town got a nice industrial park there. Lots of round-a-bouts. If you follow the truck route off of Indiana 44. Piss off Google stay on i74 till you get to exit 116 then follow in 44 thru town. Google loves those Indiana backroads where 53' semis need not be.
Louisville & Indiana Yellow Rock Train! I filmed this when this line was being upgraded for CSX: ua-cam.com/video/cKvXwknoTl0/v-deo.html
Really nice video Brian! Thanks so much for sharing!
Thanks!

While in Indiana you should see the tulip trestle near Bloomfield.
I did once years ago. Would love to go back
Like the way the crummy is done up like the old HO Tyco passenger cars. Great local rail archeology update. Thanks for the night shot. Enjoyed this one much, thanks JT!
Thank you JT! Keep those night shots coming! Love seeing the locomotive numbers lit up & the crossing lights reflected off the cars.
Thanks, will do!
I really liked the dusk shot in Sharonville? It was kind of hard to tell where the gondolas began and ended, but it was a great train! Thank you, my friend. 😃😃😃😃❤❤❤❤

Awesome video as always. I have a relative that works for the Louisville & Indiana Railroad, he is married to my cousin, they live in Jeffersonville Indiana. About a year ago he got promoted to Train Master.
Even the night shots came out good and were exciting. Those out of service rails were really interesting too.

It's really weird when you think about it that the railroad is one huge machine.
thanks for watching!
I thought that was another train coming when I heard that first train blow it’s horn but you’re right it was a echo I went back & listened Lol
Such a cool history… thanks for sharing 😊😊😊😊
Glad you enjoyed it
Let's see what epic adventure Brian has in store for us today!!
thanks for watching Jon!
Great video Jaw tooth! I live near Franklin but I’m by the CSX Indianapolis sub
Cool, thanks! I wish there were more trains there
@@JawTooth yep unfortunately I mostly get M361 M360 L421 and some grain trains and Amtrak, it’s very unpredictable 😂
@@JawTooth 2-3 trains a day
Cool video. I love the abandoned side tracks
Thanks 👍
Great catches and awesome video
Thank you very much!

Thank you very much! I think it's getting a little better. I go back next week
It’s been quite a few years since I was in Franklin or Bargersville. Thanks for taking me there. I liked the trains on this one. Take care JT. ❤
Thanks for watching
Always great content in your videos JT.
Thanks
Hi Jaw Tooth. I hope you're having a good Labor Day Weekend 🙂
I have had good naps waiting for trains
I really enjoyed the last train, especially as the red lights were illuminating the train. I couldn’t see the Haz Mat ID #’s, but I can imagine.
thanks for watching! I used to never do night trains but since I have been getting positive comments on my recent ones I will do one every once in a while
To come to conway Pennsylvania...that yard here is huge..its the tracks that run through East Palestine ohio and collect tracks from new castle pa
Hi JT love this place, its a lovely town with the old station & caboose. Awesome trains. INDIANA a fsb state for railfans. Love & hugs to all your pets & hope Tom is still settling in. ❤😊👍we are going to our local animal sanctuary Saturday to hopefully get a kitten! 🐈

Good video jaw tooth you are not to far away from me I am in Linton Indiana later!!!!
I want to visit Linton some day. Thanks for watching!
Great video J.T. Ben Franklin's image is on that caboose too at the far end from where you shot the vid...😮
Yes, now I see that lol
Good Franklin and Bargersville stuff - I have lived in Johnson County Indiana for 70 years. The line through Franklin-Whiteland-Greenwood is the old Pennsylvania RR (Indy to Louisville.) I believe the abandoned spur in Franklin served the Arvin Industries plants. Arvin in Franklin opened in 1934 and lasted almost 70 years. It was half a million square feet when closed. They started with tire pumps and made stuff like auto exhausts and mufflers and finally catalytic converters. The Franklin station was a small RR museum once, not sure if it still is. I think the Bargersville tracks are on the old Illinois Central line.
Thanks for the information! I learned a lot. Thanks for watching also!
Your horse has the life.
I see a lot of trains at this crossing. I live about 14 miles away from where you shot this video. Where you shot the video was the north end of Franklin, IN about 24 miles south of Indianapolis.
From 1967 through the 70’s I made many runs on that line as brakeman and conductor. I also held the PRR yard job during the PC days. As a NYC man the crew wasn’t very happy. Going back to the 60’s my dad worked maintenance of way running a bulldozer. He went out to a wreck site and buried Several Covair automobiles in a field off the right of way. I don’t remember anymore were on the line or how many or where it happened.
Wow, that is some awesome info! I love reading historic things like this. Thats the kind of stuff I see in Trains Magazine. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Jeez, you were 10 miles from my house. The L&I was the our back property line when it was the Pennsy years ago. The INRR is former IC. They lost most all of their coal traffic when the Stout power plant went gas. INRR has a cool double stack move via a CN run through between Chicago and Indy. The L&I also serves Camp Atterbury in Edinburgh, In. Military equipment on flatcars. Much activity in the summer. Nice intermediate yard.
Let me know when you're in the Indy area.
I looked up Camp Atterbury on Google Maps. It looks like they recently added the tracks out there and made a small rail yard to load the military equipment . That is really cool especially to film a military train. thanks for watching!
Really good job today
Thanks!
Good video I Yount to live indana cool place like your videos
I'm Bill like trains
Thanks for watching!
thanks Bill! Have a great weekend
I remember my brother going to Morehead one summer in the pre-Amtrak days for some kind of broadcasting thing, I think. The C&O line was still open then, and he took the George Washington back to Louisville when his program was finished.
Awesome! that would have been a little before I got there. I was there from 79 to 83 and I came back in 85 to watch them remove the tracks. Morehead was really awesome when the trains were there
Good mural of Benjamin. Very interesting video. Like your comment about Hay. I used to work for Bucyrus, never saw a excavator there with rail wheels.
Thanks for watching!
. 24:15 that *"**#Excavator**"* was a very BiG Surprise 😊
Every time I've seen train derailments , the #Excavators always came to the wreck sight on long oversized flatbed tractor trailers.
I have a train derailment video that I haven't posted yet, actually I have two of them. Its amazing to see the damage and force from trains
Nice catch JT!!!
Thanks!
Good morning Jaw Tooth.
Good morning!
Beautiful trains ❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for watching
Nice

Cool caboose indeed
I filmed another caboose and tomorrow morning it will be in my video. I got to film inside one

I'm going to guess this track has not been used since the Arvin facility closed in around 2002 in the Frankllin area. It is very hard to get a train in Bargersville. I only caught four there in the last three years. The tracks going through Bargersville are ran by the Indiana Railroad and usually have a northbounder in the morning and a southbounder in the evening. Not as many as Franklin, IN where about 6 trains a day run on it.
I can't believe they just didn't take out those rails that they don't use anymore, Brian. They just poured tar or gravel over it all and let the grass over it.
they probably will take them out some day and sell for scrap. If they leave them it is easier to restore rail service if they ever wanted to. Once the track is gone it is very difficult to restore it. The neighbours usually fight track restoration

Nice Train Jaw

A High-Rail CAT! 😸
I like train videos on UA-cam jawtooth dpu alright 👍
Franklin is a cool town got a nice industrial park there. Lots of round-a-bouts. If you follow the truck route off of Indiana 44. Piss off Google stay on i74 till you get to exit 116 then follow in 44 thru town. Google loves those Indiana backroads where 53' semis need not be.
Thanks for watching!
