Coke Train Goes Over & Under BIG Railroad Bridge! Ever Seen This Much Coke? West Virginia Trains
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 бер 2023
- Coal Train Passes Heavy Coke Train On Railroad Bridge, Then Coke Train Goes Around & Under The Bridge While Other Trains Pass! Norfolk Southern & CSX trains in Kenova, West Virginia. Epic train horn salute! Coke, coal, tanker train, mixed freight train and an intermodal train are featured. Have you ever seen this much coke before?
A single GE locomotive, Dash 9 40CW, pulls the most coke that I have ever seen. Look how powerful this locomotive is! It pulls the train from southern Ohio into West Virginia. It goes over the big bridge by me and then a little time later it passes me again but this time below the bridge. I didn't know it was the same train at first. The coke was taken to a terminal in Kenova on the Ohio River. While the train was passing me there were several other trains that passes by it and under it. Check out the CSX manifest with the cool boxcars. Some of them would look great on a model railroad layout.
The engineer on one train gave us an epic horn salute. The train crews in this area are friendly to the railfans. This is a great place to watch trains. There is a grassy area that is kept mowed and a nice gravel parking lot. Stores and restaurants are nearby and the police station is within walking distance. Best frequencies are 161.250 for Norfolk Southern and 160.230 for CSX. Of course there are other frequencies but I prefer to keep the chatter down and just listen for the trains approaching. The EOT frequency wouldn't do much good hear because you would be picking one up about all the time since railyards are nearby.

There’s a Coke plant about 25 miles west of there in Haverhill Ohio. Cans see it off US. 52.
Perfect place for a camp up top of those stairs.
I'm a Pepsi man though...lol
5mph is perfect even with a bucket

@@michaelhewitt258 Hey Mike.. I think we're both looking fwd to some warmer days ahead... Stay safe...
@@ethanarmitage5611 Hey Ethan.. thanks for the reply.. Have a great day!!!
Find Brian if you want to find a train.Good morning Brian and thanks for the video.
Oh, Train and train cross. It's funny !!! by Train lover🤓
Good morning, mister!
Ah yes, the old White line. Been mostly abandoned since the eighties, but still sees a few runs on occasion. 😎
I think that’s cool
I applaud you sir.. 😂
Thanks for watching !
@@mjlmbl Athankya!
@@JawTooth Thanks for posting!
Great catches son,.... that coke train came down to you to say hey Brian, it's me again 😂😂
That little engine🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃 thank can and did love it love train bridge 🌉 your fur babies dogs and cat 😺 all ways love train horn 📯 sounds good 😮
Nice video again! Let’s go!
That is one very loooooong train
Hard to believe that one engine can pull all those full coke cars... Thanks for posting another very entertaining video from a prime location !!!
Coke is a lot lighter than coal
That's NS for ya. Put one engine in the red instead of using 2.
Things go better with Coke! That horn salute was awesome. Give that engineer a raise. Great video with a cameo by 1960Gambit.
Any relation to William E. Herzog?
@@jameschristiansson3137 only if he has money. Seriously. I dont think so. Not related to Bob Herzog either.
Amongst Jaw Tooth's greatest hits this video.
What a great video! The bridge is amazing, too-looks like an erector set I built when I was a kid.😊
BUEN DIA JAW,GRACIAS .
The horn salute engineer was obviously a Jawtooth fan, just like the rest of us! Great catch!

Like171, nice video 👍🖐️
Thank you 👍
This is a great railfanning spot
I love watching train videos like this
I watch your videos, Hobo Shoestring
and Virtual Railfan and on VR I like seeing
the Darwin Candidates that that they show
Thanks for the videos and God Bless You 😊

Just imagine how much Coal it took to make that much Coke....just to make Steel..
Coke is 30% lighter that coal. So 1 ton of coal makes .7 tones of coke.
The coal transported by this long train is indeed coke, recognizable by its gray color with some silver highlights. It is also less heavy than anthracite.
They say coke adds life.
102 cars, 414 axel X 114 tons=11,628 tons, plus the lonely locomotive. Now that is quite a feat for that engineer. And a show of power for that locomotive.
Wow, this video is a jackpot! It looks like on the satellite image there's a railyard next to the river with a bunch of coal cars.
Photographed at the intersection of CSX and NS one the Hobo Shoestring Highway It's ironic as you show the coke train USS is in the middle of decommissioning 3 Coke Ovens at their Clairton works whose production was sent to Gary IN. Last year Cliffs closed their Coke plant in Follansbee WV and there are only 16 operating Coke plants in the US. Actually a Popeye energy day with the coke train then lapped by a coal train and concluded by an ethanol train. CSX tossed in the oldies boxcar Roundup for another classic Jawtooth Trackside visit
Indy had a coke plant also. And it closed down as well around 2000, Where did that coke come from, and for who is all I'm asking. Tks.
@@BradleyRobinson-vi7gf sadly since I live in Milwaukee I don't know where that coke came from and coming down to that lower-level makes me think it's going to go into a barge. The closest Coke customer in the area would be AK Steel in Middletown Ohio. We had a Coke plant in Milwaukee that closed in 1982 and they finally got the property cleaned up about 2 years ago. There also used to be a Coke plant in Ironton Ohio but that's been gone a number of years also. It's an impressive operation watch them make it but that sulfurous rotten egg smell was horrible. I hope someone knows the answer but since they use NS cars it most likely originated on NS
They call it the Black Hills by me because the women would wash their white sheets and shirts and by noon they would all be black from all the coal burning factories around them. Still called Black Hills to this day even though the trains have been gone for a century or more.
Where?
I have heard that before. Thanks for sharing 😮🎉
People in Pittsburgh used to wash their houses because of the soot from the mills, foundries, and railroads, not to mention all of the residential coal furnaces.
great train video bro
Nice to know a railfan was running the tank train. Looks like it was a great day to railfan for everyone. Excellent video, enjoyed it much.
It was a perfect day. Those are the days that make it worthwhile. thanks for watching !
I'm more impressed with the brakes on the coke train! Taking the grade like that.
NOW THAT WAS VIDEO WORTH WATCHING!!!
I noticed the locomotives on that empty coal were running “southern style “ long hood forward, sweet!🤩
Had lots of action that day! Really cool to see all those coal and coke trains! That CSX train with the EMD Mac leader was a good catch! Then you got an awesome horn salute! Great video!
Hope to film here some day
JT some great captures of the trains like the coke trains and coal trains awesome. Thanks for the video.👍👌😇
It’s incredible that one un rebuilt old Dash9-44CW can pull this train all by itself. In south Miami Dade County on the CSX S Line in the Kendall area in the late 70s and early 80s before the line was rebuilt, a single 4 axle u-boat, dash 7, or GP 38 or 40 would pull in excess of 100 loaded rock cars on light bent rail, muddy right of way and lots of weeds. At 10 to 15 mph. No six axles at that time on this line.
At least the dash 9 had solid track to be on, instead of weedy bad track.
A fantastic edition son! Keep them cameras rolling !!!! 👍👍👍👍👍
Great video JT, Thanks!
Always enjoy watching your videos, wish we could get trains like that here in the UK.
Estimado Señor Jaws. You got ur job to do. I got mine. Coke train is a great and fortunate capture. Mine is to stay so young-looking at 73 after 13 operations, US VA pensioned (not DoD US Navy, those scoundrels) and watching your vids. Let's push the envelope. How 'bout a Pepsi train? I AM The Younger Generation! Gracias por tu video, Señor Jaws. RT sends, envía, Puebla, México.
I guess that's the regular route for NS 9915. I've seen that in another video of yours. Great video 😊👍
Indeed it is!
🚈
Very cool JT. Great salute there too. After checking Google Maps, it looks like a 1.7 mile train could cross over/under itself there at Kenova. Kind of like the Tehachapi of West Virginia. Thanks for a great one.
Thanks for the effort it took to add that to a very interesting video! It would be interesting to know what the grades were like for the very large (especially, for one engine) coke train!
Some looooooong trains today.
It may be impressive that one loco can pull all that coke, but what amazes me more is that the first coupler is able to pull thousands of tons of weight behind it and not break. How is that even possible?!!!
Good quality steel? That's the only thing I could think of! 💪
@@Waynestarr difficult to explain but the couplings are not rigid to the wagon they are sprung which means that the first wagon only pulls the second wagon the second wagon pulls the third and so on + plus its coke not coal each wagon only loads to around 20 tons not 100
Got your money’s worth at that spot! Lotsa action! Great catches!!❤
You need to invest in a wind guard for your microphone! That wind noise gets annoying! It's hard to believe that there were no DPU units on either coke train. Only one lead locomotive pulling that heavy load. Cool horn salute from that tanker train.
Amazing pulling power
Quite an impressive show JT, a coke train going over and under the massive Kenova trestle, and pulled with just one NS locomotive, that’s pretty dang cool son, I’ve always been impressed by the pulling power of these locomotives. And a CSX manifest also. Sometimes you need a little luck when railfanning, and you had it that day. Well done Jawtooth.👍🏼🚂😎🤩
I had a great day and felt blessed. Thanks for watching !
@@JawTooth you got it JT.👍🏼
superb ❤❤❤
Thanks 🤗
hello jaw its is randy and i like yours video is cool thanks friends randy
Awesome location Jawtooth! Awesome catches there!👍
Love your animals ....sweet.❤
The conrail car was the giveaway!
Ever seen this much coke? 😳🧐
Not since the incident involving the Coca-Cola truck that time. 😶
Cool. As always some of my favorites. Thanks.
Good work brian,👍~~~
Amazing train footage!
All those dark, grimy hoppers are remindin' me of the outside shots of the Infinity Train.
👍
Just about 3 miles east of the trestle in Ceredo, WV, there is the Kanawha River Terminal. KRT unloads coal and coke from trains to barges. They have their own locomotives and short line track.
Thanks for another video from your 23 March 2023 trip to Kenova, West Virginia, Jaw Tooth! The Norfolk Southern coke train coming across the bridge from Ohio was impressive because of its slow steady pace. When you said that the coke came around and then passed under the bridge, I was wondering how the train did that. I looked at Google Maps and saw that when a train goes across the bridge and then makes a left turn the train goes down a grade into a Norfolk Southern yard. There is a track in the yard that makes a U-turn at the east end of the yard that allows a train to come off the bridge or trains created in the yard to head west on the Norfolk Southern tracks that go under the bridge. The CSX manifest train that went westbound under the Norfolk Southern bridge was a nice addition to all the Norfolk Southern trains. I also enjoyed the horn salute that the engineer on that intermodal train gave you and 1960gambit. It must be a wonderful feeling to get acknowledged by the train crew as you are railfanning.
Good video jawtooth
Thanks!
@@JawTooth ur w
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Really cool location to film from.
Love the bridges.
Good video JAW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)))))))
I'm sure you know by now that the train we are watching at 1943 is the same train that came very slowly across the bridge. Same engine 9915...
I love Kenova! Plenty of places to watch trains. I like to drive by the KRT where load and unload coal at sometimes too.
I love trains I even have a train on my phone
JT wow how did I miss this video, bridge videos are my favorite. JT can't believe the pulling power, keep making awesome videos.
Glad you like them! I have a good one for tomorrow that I am working on now and it has a bridge
Coke is Bituminous coal, not Anthracite hard coal.
I did not know that, thanks for the information.
@@jdmacduff1444
Your welcome.
One ton of coal in BTU value is equivalent to 262 +/- gallons of home heating oil, and full cord of seasoned fire wood.
Don't ask me to calculate value in natural gas, will have to dig-out old books.

Cheers, and Best Wishes to all Rail-Fans, such myself.
Coke is similar to charcoal, it is "destructively distilled" to make it both a fuel and a flux for the Steel furnace.

@@tomtweed2138 thanks Tom; great information as well
Great video thanks for your hard work and time, keep up the good work.
Somebody really missed the ball on putting 1 locomotive on that train.
Great video JT. Wow you know a train is long when the head of it starts to blend with rails in the distance. Enjoy that railfanning around Kenova...
All those trains and I don't think I saw a single DPU... what are the odds? lol Great stuff - thanks for sharing 🤠
I just now scanned through the video and you are correct. All that action and no DPU. That is odd. Oh well, thanks for watching !
Excellent trains JT!!!!
BRIAN and again another example of your GREAT timing! Keep doing it, and you will keep your railfans happy.
When I look at railroad videos from all over the United States look at all the unbelievable hard work thigh hard-working immigrant Americans just the trestles alone moving the steel in these Bridges back in the 1900s and it was dangerous work but these people did it and that's what makes America the greatest nation on Earth
It was AMAZING to see those Coke gondolas being pulled over the bridge - can hardly believe the power of that single locomotive! And then we see a second one with just the single loco too - - can't imagine the power of those powerful diesel machines - - Cool!
Very nice
Awesome!
Wow! Excellent action! Thank you! 😀😀😀
Glad you enjoyed it
Another great video JT! I enjoyed seeing that area back in 1991. That's the only time I've been there. At 73 now, I don't travel as often. Thanks for bringing back memories!
Joe
Glad you enjoyed it Joe! I will be going back soon to shoot more video in the surrounding areas of Kenova
@@JawTooth Safe travels when you do!
Hey jaw tooth you hit the jack pot. Trains one after another. Have a great railroad day 🚂🙋♀️
Nice work,thank you.
😊thanks again for this super video JT/Brian. greetz:🍐Peer.
That's a lot of loaded coke gondolas for only one Locomotive!
Pretty cool.
I hauled coke to the power plants along the Ohio river just outside Cincinnati Ohio.
Hauled mine run coal from eastern Ky to Hatfield coal yard in Cincinnati then take a load of coke out if all the Hatfield trucks were too busy to handle it. That was back in the mid 70s when I had my own truck and trailer.
I never knew that a hopper car weighs 28 tons. Those Norfolk Southern trains and the CSX train were recorded into "sure shots" made by you. I am pleased that you caught some rare, uncatchable shots. I wish I were with you just to watch those trains with my eyes trained on those freight cars. I wonder if the locomotives and freight cars have flanged wheels that are exactly alike.
The average can be more like 30 tons, but they can weigh 28
tons as they are occasionally reweighed. The locomotives are
equipped with 40 inch wheels,
if memory serves me correctly.
The type of cars that these were probably 36 inch wheels.
That’s the diameter of the wheels!
Incredible video.
Wait what??... only one locomotive pulling all those coals cars, I didn't get the count, but it was a lot... what a powerhouse !! 👍
Train #2 (4555)... nice catch son... like I say, the train gods are smiling down on you !! Woooooooooo👍
Did you say you can hear an, echo echo echo echo echo 🤣😂
NICE train salute for Mr. JawTooth high atop a bridge !
Super Awesome Video !! 👍👍👍
thanks for watching !
Amazing videos Jaw Tooth keep up the good work
Good video, JT! I counted 102 cars on that coke train, pulled by one 4,400 H.P. unit! At 114 tons per car, that’s 11,628 tons
pulled by one unit!
Liking those coal and coke catches!!
I enjoyed the video👍👍
Awesome Video
Thanks!
Hi JT it’s so sad to see derailments there been to many in the last few months I hope that are trains are not to old run any more the trains and cars are expensive to replace but I love trains so much ❤❤❤
I agree with you
Whooah too awesome csx SD80mac leading 2nd train ? Great catches guys !
Great video, son! I counted 103 cars on the coke train and 110 on the coal train that passed him on the bridge.
Awesome video, I also was like that's the same train
Love those dedicated trains. They are a bit mesmerizing though. Keep up the good work. Your videos are high quality 👍😊.
Thank you very much!
Wow 👌 cool alot of trains 🚆 today yup shure was windy
Those over and under trains are cool
Good stuff sir good stuff
