Man if people would have the patience to stop and watch a slow moving freight train regardless of how small it is,perhaps they'd appreciate the finer things in life! Bunch a idgets.....thumbs up to you bud! 👍👍👍👍
Some people have no sense. If they misjudge and kiss or get kissed by the locomotive, I wonder how they'd explain that to the cops and to their insurance company?
You know it's just a matter of time before that last remaining customer leaves and the spur is abandoned. Great job holding the camera steady even with the wind.
You're right and I want to film it before it is gone. I have seen scores of lines disappear in my life that I wish I would have filmed. Railroads lose 10% of their customers a year so they are constantly looking for new ones. Thanks for watching!
@@JawTooth I hate to be a Debbie Downer too. These old spurs are remnants of a much greater industrial era. Their consistent decline is a result of outsourcing and so many other economic reasons which are sure to incite verbal violence if I get too specific. Suffice it to say I love your channel and your eye for detail on your videos.
That customer doesn't look like it has much money for property upkeep. It's maybe only a matter of time. It's a shame. China is taking up the slack to our detriment.
@@buixrule Yes, I was born and raised in NJ, and street running trains were a common sight back in the 70s. I used to work as a security guard back in the late 80s at an apartment complex in Pennsauken NJ which is 10 minutes across the river from Philadelphia and they had a weekly Conrail local train that would travel a spur thru the middle of the apartments weekly to pickup and deliver to a customer a couple of blocks from the complex. I wish I had a camera with me back then. There were countless towns and cities outside of NY and Philadelphia on the Jersey side that had street runners. There are some still around like in Camden, Burlington City, Roebling, and a few other places. Most of the lines are abandoned or even pulled up now. It is cool still to see the tracks in the street even if they've been out of service for years. We have done it to ourselves by outsourcing to China for slave labor basically.
@@kman-mi7su I have worked in your area on several occasions it's sad too see the manufacturing base of this country leave now it's fast food, strip malls and grocery stores.
I believe in stop, look, listen and I have watched the beginning of this video over and over. The engineer never gave a horn warning and turned on the flashing lights until he was right at the pavement. He did have the bell on. He did a better job at the end of the video. Thanks for the video son!
That spur used to go to the paperboard company that was there and continued on to the north end of town where there was another shingle manufacturer. They widened the road years ago and put in all new track only to have the company close down not too long afterwards. The north end crossing became an exempt crossing until it was eventually all taken out.
Wow...one of your best train videos Jaw Tooth! Great narration too and radio chatter...seeing the loco moving through town gives a great sense of just how enormous these engines are against the background of homes and buildings...you were up close too...great "live action!" Thanks for sharing!!!
Nice local railroad operation which shows the deliberate side of the industry. Some auto operators apparently do not know the meaning of a flashing red light with a ringing bell at a rail crossing. Thank you for the enjoyable videos.
I love the sound of that 645V16, never gets old to me. This will date me but I remember when the GP and SD-40 (no Dash-2) was the niftiest and neatest SUPERPOWER.
Cool video!! I have a tiny replica of this engine, only it's red. I'm thinking of painting it black and putting the NS emblem on it, changing it to a Norfolk Southern. Love the NS and CSX engines!! Thank you Jaw Tooth for sharing!!
That rusty spurline went to a paper mill years ago. I saw the RR bring in tank cars and boxcars with pulp bales. Atlas roofing received freight cars on other side of Great Miami River in past.
Your videos are always great, you don’t have to be sorry for anything. Love seeing your part of this great country we live in. Nice to see trains still using this track, because it would be easy just to say this is not worth keeping.
That's neat. Every time I watch one of your street running videos, I want to see it in real life. It was all over the place in downtown Baltimore at one time, but I'm too young to remember it. I can still see the tracks, or where they go under the asphalt in many streets, though. Good vid! 👍
Hey Brian cool video. That old Truss Bridge was cool. Sad how everybody is in a hurry and can't wait for the train. Especially the locals who know that they're not that long. Street runners are my favorite! You did a great job with the camera considering the wind. I remember a time when railroads used the switch engines for these small consists but, thats a thing of the past. I loved those old Alcos and especially the SW 1500s. Our Terminal Railroad used to run the Cow/ Calfs right along a line in back of my Grandmas house. Man that was a thrill for a boy of 7 years at the time. I miss those days of railroading.
Thanks for chasing it so far down the spur. Awesome work Brian! Interesting where the old station is located (15:06). Once a main line, not just a spur for one customer.
You could pace this train at a brisk walk! I agree with others saying a video like this is much more interesting than a mile long freight blowing past at 50 mph!
What a fab shot JT of N/S approaching from the bridge with headlights & Bell ringing! on to a road! Just awesome JT. Don't worry your filming was great as always. ❤😊.
I followed that track for a few miles back to what looks like a main line. That track is probably what is classified as an industrial lead. Most of the industrial leads I know of have a 5 mph speed limit. Class one track is the next best class of track and has a max speed, set by the FRA in their track classifications, of 10 mph.
I definitely give you a big thumbs up on catching this train it said that there’s only one customer on this entire track hopefully they’ll be some future growth to increase it just a little bit more!!
it's clear that the crossing protection AND the whistle TOGETHER are key in stopping traffic at crossings... look at how many ran the through with just the crossing protection activated but stopped when they heard the whistle
Play that axe, Bro!! Love a street train! See them in LaGrange, KY and Utica, NY as well. Would love to live close to one :) I notice they are putting that SD40 through its paces!
It seemed like the cars kept on going in front of the train, until the engineer gave the horn a few blasts! I have to agree, driving the train in amongst street traffic, takes a talented crew. Don't worry about the wind noise. The video didn't suffer at all from it. We understand that the weather sometimes doesn't co-operate very well. But you still did an A÷ job in my book.
Hey JT here's a tip for more steadier standing shots during longer/harsher conditions: tie some cordage around ground to nose length to a bigger 1-1.5" washer then attach it to the bottom of the camera, and you step on the washer giving you an anchoring point of stability like a reverse monopod. It's a cheap hack but it totally works dude.
I love watching videos like this. I've lived around Franklin for most of my life, and I've never seen a train on that track. If you ever want to get some good videos in Middletown, take Oxford State Rd between Briel Blvd and Route 4, you cross 5 sets of tracks. 3 are affiliated with AK Steel. Nothing cooler than getting stopped by a train pulling fresh steel coils! The switchers at AK Steel are neat to see in person too.
Glad to see the old SD40s continuing to earn their keep. Those are from another era, folks; not too many still running. Looks like someone at NS at least takes care to wash the unit regularly; if it was a Southern Pacific unit, it’d be absolutely filthy. I don’t think those guys EVER washed a loco (except, maybe, the 4449 steamer in Daylight colors)! I like the big porches on the rear of those old SD40s; gives the brakeman somewhere nice to stand on a cool, sunny Autumn day! 😊
Who put a road in the middle of my railroad track? That was a good video Mr. Jaw Tooth, loved seeing the train come across the bridge and onto the street. Not to many times you can chase a train on foot and keep up with them like you did on the other end. Thanks!
I was raised on SD40-2s and GP40s. I took them for granted. Now I'm grateful to see one in action. Good catch JT! SD40-2 street running. Good Christmas gift. Anyone notice the traffic signal was green going against the outbound consist? I'm guessing the little used branch line wouldn't justify complicated track and auto traffic signaling. Any signal folks out there who can comment? Seems making the traffic lights red at the intersection to block cars from moving across the outgoing train would be safer, but that takes some cash to do it I suppose. JT's street running vids are always cool and sometimes nerve racking :) Happy holidays all.
In your first segment, the engineer did not blow the warning horn or use the flashing lights to warn road traffic that a train was coming off the trestle until he was almost on the road. That was very negligent on his part, almost an accident. You could have said the distance from the end of the trestle to the road in feet or yards or just an estimate would have been fine. This video, as with all your videos I have seen, is EXCELLENT! Two thumbs up! Five-point one diesel locomotives out of five diesel locomotives, because of the wind interference.
I see one big issue with the traffic light and the RR Signal are not in sync. The traffic signal did not turn red for the traffic crossing the tracks while the crossing signals were lit. While I agree, traffic should have stopped when the railroad crossing signal are active. There needs some work between NS & the town. Someone needs to get into the millennium!
Not only that but, if you look on Google Street View, the crossing lights are way off to the right and probably not even visible from the stop line in the left lane of the road. The house and tree mean you can't see down the line until you're within about a car's length of the stop line. There are no gates on the crossing. The train driver didn't sound the horn until they were almost on the crossing. It's a seriously unsafe design that sets motorists up to fail.
It’s a shame people don’t stop to embrace the beauty of each beautiful locomotive they come across at railroad crossing’s. And alas, trains cannot stop for people, people have to stop for the train! But if people are in a hurry to their own funeral, you can’t stop them and you can’t fix stupid. Like my dad always tells me: “When you’re up their driving that train someday, don’t be ashamed for hitting someone. They didn’t stop for you, so don’t worry about it.”.
This video tops them all in my opinion Jaw Tooth! That was a very nice street runner definitely! What really topped it off for me was that you added Jeff Spicoli, Sean Penn from Fast Times At Ridgemont High in there. He was definitely a funny dude in that movie! No doubt about it! You really make your videos amusing Jaw Tooth! This does deserve a Big Thumbs Up!
What you saw there with those Moron drivers is the main reason I retired early from the job that I loved.driving truck.You do such a awesome job with your videos the content is great. Thanks JT.
Greetings JT! Nice job braving the wind to bring us another great video, gotta love some street running live action. The 6 axle loco seems like overkill, would think a Geep would be more appropriate in that situation, maybe thats all they had available.
Many class 1's are eliminating old 4 axle units and using old road units for switching. The 6 axle units may a lower axle load which may be better on old track.
I wish I had vintage film to show you of Bellingham WA in 1960...65...The Milwaukee Road ran down the middle of (what else?) Railroad Avenue and the Northern Pacific sidled down the alley a half block away. They both served a paper mill up the hill at Lake Whatcom, but the NP kept on going alongside the lake to meet the inside passage freight line to Sumas. Each RR had a 1500 hp EMD...NP a GP7. Milw an SD7. I rode the SD7 to Sumas on the Milwaukee once...and saw the NP interchange there.
I’m over in Loveland Ohio jawtooth. Love the videos brother. One day I may roll over to ole Franklin and watch some trains roll by. You got plenty of railways over your way... thanks for all you do do for us with all these trains rollin through...👍👍👍
This place has a LOT of memories for you, what with snotty Female Engineers, (Holly) Conductors, but all in all, our JT keeps ,keeping on,getting the shots, for all of his friends and viewers!❤️
Superb shot coming off the bridge ! As for the driving dumb set-remember there no such thing as a light impact that scuffs the bumper with an sd40 !!!! Gonna hurt the insurance nxt year !!! That's one sloooooow moving freight -guess there ain't no rush today -or the line needs repair ? Love the rusty rail and sun bleached ties !! Regards
I went there again today but the train didn't run. We had our first snow of the year and I thought for sure the street runner would run but no. Oh well, thanks for watching and commenting Neil!
Hi Brian, I can sympathize with you about all the rail that's disappeared. I live out in Southern California and since I was born in 1958, I'd say maybe half the the rails that were active that year are now gone. In the city I live in, there is no active trains for about 30 miles in any direction. It's a damn shame son!
I think these videos are “classier” then watching one long single train go by. More character to them.
Thank you!
Agreed
We've been here before with the female engineer street running. To each his own but an SD40-2 running the streets can't get any better.
I agree, that is really cool! I'm thinking about trying to film that train again next week. Thanks David!
One of the few 6-axle road switchers. Actually, I can't think of another one off the top of my head but I'm sure there's more.

Are the traffic signals not synchronized with the trains going through the intersections?

The railroad is not interlocked with the traffic signals! As you can see, drivers minimalize the danger - dumb. Thanks for a great video.
Yes, it's no wonder they run the crossing when the train's not sounding its horn and the set of lights they're most focused on says "go".
Gotta LOVE locals and street running! A bit sad to see SD40-2 just for local duty but Oh Well.

Many class 1's are eliminating old 4 axle units and using old road units for switching. The 6 axle units may a lower axle load which may be better on old track.
I wish I had vintage film to show you of Bellingham WA in 1960...65...The Milwaukee Road ran down the middle of (what else?) Railroad Avenue and the Northern Pacific sidled down the alley a half block away. They both served a paper mill up the hill at Lake Whatcom, but the NP kept on going alongside the lake to meet the inside passage freight line to Sumas. Each RR had a 1500 hp EMD...NP a GP7. Milw an SD7. I rode the SD7 to Sumas on the Milwaukee once...and saw the NP interchange there.
Good Stuff JT! good work despite the wind !!
Thanks 👍

Great share... A patient train vs many impatient cars :) Thanks a lot darling "Jaw Tooth".
a skin from a rabbit over the cam,no wind anymore,hahaha.lol. just a little bit Dutch humor Brian.lol.
I’m over in Loveland Ohio jawtooth. Love the videos brother. One day I may roll over to ole Franklin and watch some trains roll by. You got plenty of railways over your way... thanks for all you do do for us with all these trains rollin through...👍👍👍
I'd wait for hours to watch a beautiful machine like this go by!
This place has a LOT of memories for you, what with snotty Female Engineers, (Holly) Conductors, but all in all, our JT keeps ,keeping on,getting the shots, for all of his friends and viewers!❤️
You are so lucky over there in the US of A. I would LOVE to have trains run along the street here in England.
Something a bit different from the usual mainline stuff. Great!
Superb shot coming off the bridge ! As for the driving dumb set-remember there no such thing as a light impact that scuffs the bumper with an sd40 !!!! Gonna hurt the insurance nxt year !!! That's one sloooooow moving freight -guess there ain't no rush today -or the line needs repair ? Love the rusty rail and sun bleached ties !!
Regards
I went there again today but the train didn't run. We had our first snow of the year and I thought for sure the street runner would run but no. Oh well, thanks for watching and commenting Neil!
Looks like a new puppy!
Hi Brian, I can sympathize with you about all the rail that's disappeared. I live out in Southern California and since I was born in 1958, I'd say maybe half the the rails that were active that year are now gone. In the city I live in, there is no active trains for about 30 miles in any direction. It's a damn shame son!
