Yeah its always interesting to see 1500 h/power types in the consist mixed in with 4,000 hp units. Makes you wonder if they are merely transporting the switcher to another location or if the switcher is needed for h/power in the consist or for both reasons.
@@CrossbuckProductions It may very well have been a brake shoe overheating. Hot electrical smells all too familiar to me, and burning rubber isn't really how I would describe it. Composite brake shoes on the other hand, smell more of rubber than traction motors, at least. Not much wiring in the actual motor, mostly copper winding.
All that power for that much train... That switcher in the middle... did dispatch just have a "take whatever isn't in the shop & get going" moment this day?
Looks like that engine didn't actuate when he applied the automatic, seeing that all the other engines have their pistons in. Not suppose to use any independent brake at those speed.
When you fail to give these units the proper amount of maintenance, they will let you know about it!This is why csx locomotives don't last!just like the southern Pacific units ,they deferred maintenance and proceeded to run their locomotives in the ground! CSX is doing the same thing to their locomotive fleet. This railroad does Not take care any of these units anymore. This is why you see more lease units from other lines on this railroad.
That would be hot brake shoes smoking, if it were a faulty traction motor it would send a message to the engineer computer screen and he would have to isolate it.
I know it's illegal to utilize a ham radio to key up on AAR frequencies, but honestly, cases like this where a conductor may not know that there is something wrong, keying up to let them know of an engine or car being on fire, throwing sparks, leaking fluids, or otherwise losing expensive cargo should be a commendable action.
@@Junkinsally For a comment 2 years ago thrown into recent times, there definitely needs to be some lee-way for those who see an issue with a train and have a ham to be able to let a conductor know somethings wrong. We don't need any more of these horrible accidents in my home state of Ohio or anywhere else.
Yard engines are not as much fun to work as road engines but that’s just my opinion. The road engines always had a good supply of water to drink if they just came from the main line.
For the right side crossing, Digital video recording devices & live cams when viewing crossing lights that are L.E.D types have a hard time keeping up with flashing because the high intensity L.E.D's also flash at a high rate of speed too. So, it will appear the red crossing lights fade out & then slowly regain their brightness. If you were to view cars having L.E.D headlights, the headlights would appear to be flashing rapidly, too fast for the human eye to see. Depending on the outdoor light level, the crossing's L.E.D red flashers will appear to be a pale yellow or white. They use a bunch of high brightness white light L.E.D's behind a red lens. They're rapidly flashed to keep them from burning out. The left side crossing is still using the older incandescent light bulbs.
I love USA locomotives. They're huge and so powerful! And in this video 8 of them 😮😮😮😮 how much horsepower we talking about? How many wagons they pulling on this hill (coz looks like going uphill) great video mate. Awesome. 😊
Oh no not again! MY ENGINE CHEAP GARBAGE FUEL AUUGH 😤😨😵 don't worry if it makes you feel better this happened to me in HO SCALE LIFE LIKE F 7 AMTRAK ENGINE prior to another smoke condition on my TYCO SHARK NOSE ROCK ISLAND! OUCH! 😵
Naw that was no fire, when there is coming out the side in the cab then you have a fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥, CSX needs some new power the stuff they have looks like it's time for the junk yard.😁😁😁😁😁😃😃😇😇🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🏴☠️☠️👻
Hi , might sound a stupid question, but are all those engines running, or just some. I'm from the UK so we don't have multiple engines here that I know of. Thanks .
Some. If they wanted to they could all be running, but they would never want to do that. When it's so many together they are being moved. Also it's too small or short of a train. Even if it was a long and heavy train they would distribute the power to the middle and/or end, not just the front.
Ahh, Keyser WV. I recall passing through there in 12/77 on Amtrak heading for Clarksburg. The Keyser yard had locos in C&O and B&O paint. Westvaco had a huge operation north and west of there. That's gone, too, and it looks like the land has been remediated.
Did the town that depended on that plant get remediated as well? I am familiar with that US 50 corridor, which happens to run near the B&O line that eventually ended in E.St. Louis. My parents were from Portsmouth, Ohio, my father ran locomotives for the B&O, and we could ride the train for free from Baltimore to Chillicothe, Ohio. During one of those trips, as we were climbing out of Cumberland, Md., in one of the many curves, my father said, "Look, you will probably never see this again." There was a steam locomotive, helping to push the train to the top of the hill.
You would have to be hard core to stand close to the track when a train comes by. How did you know the to be there when the train catches fire? I see all these derailment videos that people "just happen" to catch on film but I starting to think these people might have something to do with it.
The train was coming down a grade using the automatic air brake, eventually the brake shoes on the old GE locomotives heated up and caught fire, which is a fairly common occurrence on mountain grades. We were chasing that train for its assortment of power, we did not expect it to do this.
Keyser, West Virginia...my middle brother was a WV State Trooper in Mineral County in the late-70's. Beautiful part of West Virginia 💛💙 Great catch...enjoyed your video. Did they have to drop the Locomotive in Cumberland due to the fire/smoke?? Or did they even make it that far??
Is the number of locomotives larger than the number of freight cars for the purpose of forwarding? Is it the reason why the switcher is incorporated into the organization?
If by forwarding you mean those locomotives are being relocated, then yes. Only 2 or 3 of these engines are under power, while the rest including the switcher are just being moved.
When I saw that switcher, all I could think was "When you lie on the resume but got the job anyway."
When I worked for Southern Railway and NS we called those switcher engines Goats.
@@royhoco5748 I've heard the term before but still really cool!
Outta nowhere, an MPY15 in the middle of a buncha AC4400s.
Or is it a different switcher?
I agree
One impostor is among us
Fire? Not even close. Brake shoe? Yes.
Great catch! That was a nice Lashup of power! 👍
Wait you actually commented on that person's video yeah heh?
@@damianboyd1636 yeah, why? I comment on lots of videos!
I've just never seen you comment on videos before that's all that's all it is
And not trying to be rude
@@damianboyd1636 cool. I actually comment a lot.
That was pretty cool but my favorite part was seeing that little switcher in the consist!

@@waynemiller7382 It could be they were headed for the deadline.
h or power….?
So where's the fire ?? I wanna see flames when you say something catches fire 🔥
“Which one is the AC4400?”
“Oh it’s easy to find, it’s the one that’s on fire.”
Other person at the level crossing looks like he’s a bit too close to the track.
It was a blown brake chamber on one set of shoes, this happens alot in trucking also...
I thought it was gender reveal party
Haha!
Don't you need a forest fire for one of those.
It’s a boy! Call him Fried Brakes
Handbrake chain on 4th unit #346 appears tight as seen in final scene in video. That may be the reason smoke is rolling from rear truck on this unit.
Yup.
What interests me is that switcher because normally a switcher in a manifest freight like that would be dead-in-tow but it sounds like its under power
Dumb question: what did that smoke smell like?
TrainTrackTrav Burning rubber.
@@CrossbuckProductions must have been a flat tire.
Asbestos

Depends on whether you like the smell or not. To some it might be like sniffing Brook Shield's... and to others it may smell like a hot brake.
Were eight locos actually needed because of the mountains or were they just transporting some?
Transporting
@@UnionCountyPhotography but also having fun along the way.
Both
If you listen closely only 2 locomotives are running.
Other person at the level crossing looks like he’s a bit too close to the track.
Excelentes tomas! Gran calidad de video! 👏
All that power for that much train...
That switcher in the middle... did dispatch just have a "take whatever isn't in the shop & get going" moment this day?
It's doing the "freshman in a class sophomores"
GE Locomotives aka Fire Engines.. Nobody breathes fire and blows smoke more than GE..
It wasn’t even a fire click baiter
Just brake smoke coming downhill. Happens frequently with heavy train, steep grades, and engineer letting train attain too high a speed downhill.
Looks like that engine didn't actuate when he applied the automatic, seeing that all the other engines have their pistons in. Not suppose to use any independent brake at those speed.
Well, at least the train came to a stop after it passed the crossing.
Wow, what fire?
Good job as usual
I think I saw the sparks on the steerable trucks.
That switcher tho
One impostor is among us
Great video I saw a old CSX alco engine and hope they put the fire out and the crews are okay
no f**king fire
What fire..... click bait.
why not watch the whole video before making a judgement
cuz i sure didnt
One of the best train videos on here... Chicken Sh.. express! Great video! Smokin good time! Thank you

"Fire is extinguished" means some one or a system puthe fire out. Were all thengines pulling? Or somerely being transported? Thank you.
That would be hot brake shoes smoking, if it were a faulty traction motor it would send a message to the engineer computer screen and he would have to isolate it.
1) There would be no indication on the screen and 2) Isolating (which by the sound, it is already isolated) has no affect on the brakes.
It didn't caught fire, it just overheated.
Click bait there is no big fire maybe smoldering or something over heated dont waste your time.

I was thinking the same thing! Railfans need a way to let them know if they spot something wrong. Because they may or may not know.

@CrossbuckProductions HI! Could you use a new animated logo reveal opening? Please let me know if you can.
Locomotive brake shoe fires are rare so it might be the brakes or the traction motor
When I see this. It makes me think I gotta go to work and change some traction motors.
0:46 i thought csx retired their dash 8s?
Not yet
Thats a dash 9.
Sounds like the brakes are hot!
Man get an animal for your microphone on what ever you are using.
stuck brake shoe, or shoes
He was burning the tires off like a top fuel dragster so he could get traction climbing the hill..... I agree stuck brake shoe
The motor winding is failing. It is a burning motor.
Pretty sure this qualifies as click-bait(!!) 😆

Will a hotbox detector catch a traction motor fire?
Also look like it was coming from the traction motor
_Eight_ locomotives ?!?
That's got to be a really long train
And that’s why I call dash 9s flamethrowers
Sounds like it ran over an Elephant !
Is that the same train through the whole video
I they put out the fire on the train 👍
The smoke is at the fuel tank that's scary. Good video
Thankfully diesel isn’t flammable in the same way gasoline is.
It's a GE what did you expect
Brakes over heating is all
Love those big switchers. Is that MP15? AC or DC?
Dc
my god, how many trains thay nead?
Just found you. Great video’s. Have subscribed. All the best, stay safe Mick🇬🇧

New title: Old CSX AC4000 Locomotive's traction motors smoke up!
The current title paid my rent for 3 months
@@CrossbuckProductions there was no other way to pay rent other than having a misleading title?
Not misleading as there were flames, just barely if at all visible on camera.
A full tank car is about 400,000 each.
No fire…. Just smoke
All that is is burt up traction motor. They only last for so long until they go bad.
4525 is looking good
Love trains

very clear crisp footage. Appears to be Brakes No big Deal
