- Look How Huge These 2 Loads Are! Most Awesome Special Train Ever On Short Line Railroad Cincinnati Eastern Railroad CCET. Locomotives at the front and rear of the train with extra high and wide loads. The train is seen in Mount Orab, Ohio and Sardinia, Ohio. Huge electrical transformers were shipped to Sardinia railroad wye for unloading. From there they will be taken to nearby solar panel farms. Hundreds of acres of farmland are being converted to solar panel farms. I live only a mile from a huge solar panel farm. The electric company has sent letters to my neighbours and me wanting to use our farms for these panels. The township that I live in has no zoning and the area where the panels are going is very rural. This video shows the train cross a few railroad crossings and I broke this up into 2 videos. We also see them shove the loads down the siding that leads to the Sardinia Wye. They were spotted inside the wye on the maintenance track. A couple years ago there was a similar shipment that was spotted here. Back in the Norfolk Southern days that track was used to ship out rip rap for shoring up erosion areas along the track and was used to store railroad bogies AKA trucks. Part 2 will be out soon and will show them at a couple of other railroad crossings and will show the train returning with the spacer flat cars that you see in this video. I just put out a #shorts video showing that train going over a railroad bridge. If you want more information about this railroad check out my Facebook group that I created called Cincinnati Eastern Railroad Fans.

I have mixed feelings about solar farms. Personally I would prefer seeing fertile farmland used for producing food, perhaps abandoned industrial spaces that are too contaminated for living or farming should be used for this? It’s good to keep working on energy independence, but we have to eat. Nice video!
Exactly, your idea makes much more sense, solar and wind are gobbling up prime farm land in Illinois like crazy, it's scary!
@@donaldstanfield8862 Maybe genetic engineering will make green men who photosynthesize carbohydrates while standing in the sunshine.
I totally Agree!!!
I like your way of thinking 🤔
I hate seeing all the farmland get taken out of farming also.
Heavy loads are always cool 😎 👍!
Yes they are!
We have seen so many solar farms pop up lately! I’m not sure if I’m excited to see them or if I hate seeing the beautiful land obstructed. Guess time will tell how that all plays out!
Another great video, thanks for sharing!
I would rather have food that is grown in the soil, I kinda doubt solar panels would taste very good or provide any nutritional value. 😄😄
@@davidmihevc3990 The one advantage of the solar is it can be placed where Mother Nature has placed a steady wind all day long. The solar does not pollute (very much) but the turbine type have a short life of about 25 years and then they must replace the blades. The panels last longer. The big challenge is ensuring there is a usage for the electricity produced. I guess when all the electric cars are what people are driving they juice produced will have a place to go.
Hey, JT - Nice to see you again. Glad to hear you didn't sell your property. That is precious to you and for you. Thanks for the many postings. WOW - 06:30 big wind. Sounds like he's dragging on the crossing pavement. Take care, JT. Thanks for the posting.
Thanks 👍
Great catch.
Thanks Robert! I am working on part 2 right now
Nice catch
Glad you liked it!
Cool train JT!!!!
Thanks Jeff!!!!
@@JawTooth You're welcome!!
Very Cool!!!
Great catch - with the railroad getting busy, that means more action ! Keep dry while making videos.
Thanks, will do!
I saw this pulling out of sharonville a week ago
It was on NSs branch. It had two engines connected right to it. I thought it was pulling out, didn't realize it was for local
I used to work in a plant that built transformers here in NC. I have put many a weld in those damned things 😂🤣
And don’t sell out your farm!!! You can always make money but you can’t make any more land!! Much love to you Jaw. Maybe one weekend you could slide down towards Fayetteville NC and get you some videos at the New Hope Valley railroad in Bonsal NC and a motor car ride on the Red Springs and Northern. A buddy of mine has a really nice motorcar. Much love to you man. Be careful Bro
SPX in Goldsboro?
Oh, come on. LOL. You could have a couple of these transformers and a few hundred solar panels on YOUR property. What could go wrong with that?
Thats a great catch! Cool that you got it in several locations too! And those late night Video work sessions..tell me about it!
It took until 4am this morning to get it downloaded. Lol. I am making it into 2 parts just to get this one up today. I bet those 30 minute videos take forever to download
Thx for the video, this big transformers are awesome. And let me say you have very nice animals; especially the dog. My beloved dog called "Finchen" died last week caused by cancer at the spine and i cant stop crying.
Always remember, Finchen’s life and love, were always safest in your hands. Blessings Jupp
@@TheCheffydave Thank you for your consoling words.
What was the guy at the first crossing doing inside the gates?
He is the conductor and he checks every crossing. He makes sure the gates work and that nobody drives in front of the train
@@JawTooth Maybe they only do for special loads like this, never noticed them before, thank you!
@@donaldstanfield8862 Yes, for this special move but they also do this at a couple of other crossings that aren't operating properly. A crossing west of Mt Orab and a crossing east of Sardinia where new gates are being installed
I guess that guy was confident his car wasn't too close for the oversized load...😊
He's working. He's there to protect the load. He's got a hand set to communicate with the crew. Officer or what they used to call Special Agent.
Not sure if you will see this but I sure do enjoy these videos. I haven’t hoboed sense 1972. All the steamers were long gone by then. Don’t get out much and UA-cam is a damn site better than TV thanks to good folks like you.
Good for you to keep your land, its the ultimate comoity, more valuable than gold.
That clicking soundis air receiver condensate drain valve blowing off
You bring a unique perspective to UA-cam, I really enjoy your videos.
We get to see a different side of the railroad industry. We get to see things nobody else shows us . Thanks 👍🙏
Thank you very much!
@@JawTooth but wait theres more
Hi Brian: why don’t consider leasing the land instead of selling? This will allow your heirs to inherit some income reducing property and they can decide what to with it when the lease expires. Cool video, thank you.
The solar farm people might not be interested in leasing.
@@beeble2003 don’t know until you ask
These transformers were made in Canonsburg,PA at Pennsylvania Transformer. They started their journey with the Pittsburgh and Ohio Central Railroad then to NS switched in Pittsburgh.
DON'T SELL OUT!!! Keep up the good work patriot!
I want to keep the farm growing crops
Another city that has a street running train is Utica, New York. I believe the street is Schuyler Street. I've seen several videos of it. When the snow is piled up towards the curbs, there really isn't enough room to park but people do it anyway. Sometimes the train has to stop and blow the horn, loud and long, to get someone's attention to come move their vehicles!
Thanks I'm ready excited but also not sure for 2 Oversized Solar panel loads is a good reason to watch yes they're truly trying to build a future farm seriously they personally are by everyone so they into higherin anyone who wants that special services you did good you said good you can Produce, Buy Food jaw tooth even you own so much yes enjoy your home paradise plus they're gathering and building new businesses for who wants to use Solar transformers, " Solar Transformer Panels " are so big just 2 a amazing Attack at Sardinia Y there's alot of abandoned company owners that can take those transformers...👍
At times like this we need all the farmland producing food. I have over a thousand acres in my county just leased to solar companies. One field adjacent to mine. At least the panels will be about 1/8 mile from me. All this land could be producing food.
They really seem to be doing a great job of getting new business on the line which is fantastic
Good afternoon Brian, this vlog shows also a real part of the US.You have politicans they talk about cancer you can get from wind generator or solarpeanels,and? Your nation build all the things of renewable energy and put them up.Great pictures, and I'm always amazed form where you get your informations about special trains with special load.👍
I was working up in Indiana at a power plant they were a building when they brought in the transformer for that place. They said they shipped it by rail because it can handle heavy weights and it was very tall.
Great vudeo, Jaw Tooth! That was neat watching the Cincinncti Eastern Railroad moving those two transformers on their line. I it is hard to believe that CCET would be able to move those huge transformers on their line. I am looking forward to seeing the seeing the second part of your coverage of this total movement.
Good for you JT :) my mom was born and raised on a dairy farm...never forget no farms no food
That is awesome! I have always liked farms. I use to visit my relatives farms
Ugh people like that first guy drive me nuts. Parked way too close to the tracks and standing way too close. I fully expected the GP15-1 to carve out the side of his little Ford SUV.
Um. That guy's a railroad employee making sure the crossing is clear.
Thanks Jaw- BSCO is Bethlehem Steel Corp, location of rolling was Steelton, PA. I think in the 60's or 70's rail production was consolidated there as at one time Bethlehem had rail mills in several locations. Do you know where the transformers came from.
Thanks for the info! All I know is they came from Chicago and then through St Louis to get here
They offered me way more than the trees will ever be worth. 😺
I'm guessing a one-off shipping job like those transformers costs more than a regular, periodic job like delivering grain?
I recall the special car on CPR taking a petroleum cracking tower to Lloydminster refinery. Had to travel through the US because Ontario tunnels couldn’t handle the oversized load. Wish we had cell phones back in the day.
Wow! Very difficult and different kind of train movement.
The trailing engine is in tow and not being used, i.e., not 'fired' up and running, but the double CC does that so that they can use the trailing engine for the return trip in situations where they can't run around the train.
Thanks for your comment. I was wondering if the trailing engine had its own crew.
A real good catch there J T ! I'm into solar power. We have 14 panels on the roof and they give us most all of the juice we need in the daytime, a real good investment even here in the North of England. I'm not sure putting them in the fields is so good though as we need all the food we can grow to feed folk.
Yeah, I had the opportunity to carve a few bucks off my hydro bill, but I would be dead before the cost of installing solar was paid. Panels and batteries do fail, so more trouble than it was worth.
I have that transformer car in O scale.....cool to see a real one being used.
Great video. I read the posts and answers, now I have no questions. LOL. Leo.
You do awesome work on your videos, you need to come up Hammond Indiana, East of Chicago there is so much train activity up here.
That would be cool!
Wouldn't east of Chicago be out in the lake ?
@@ridethetrain9326 Yes that is true ,I should of told him, south east of Chicago. Thank you for correcting me 🙂
I’ve seen those being transported on a rickety old railroad in my town called the Seminole Gulf.
@Jim Sowa Punta Gorda. We have a nice stretch of tracks around Tuckers Grade, but the rest of the tracks are from the days of the Atlantic Coast Line, which was before SCL which was before Seminole Gulf.
Cool video, I have those flat cars on my Lionel trainset.
Fantastic video my friend like and Greetings
Wow, a double high/wide! I've never seen that before! 👍
Nice video. Thank you!!
How many old rail yards are there that have not been redeveloped, or old coal mining areas, as alternatives to usable farmland. Farmland is attractive because it's concentrated and expansive, instead of smaller plots of ex industrial areas. Great video JT, I've always been fascinated by high wide and heavy loads, and the vehicles used for them. We call them exceptional or out of guage loads here 🇬🇧 👍👍😀😀
Those heavy things on the rail cars are transformers for power plants, they take in 13,300 volts and transform it down to 4,160 volts three phase.
Cool man!
what is the clicking noise that the engines make when they go by?
The "spitter" valves that purge water from the air lines. When you compress air, the water vapour condenses out as liquid. You really don't want that getting into the brake cylinders, so there are valves at the low points of the air lines that open periodically and blow the water out.
Good live action Son ... Awaiting part 2 ... Thx ...
WOW!! I ENJOYED THAT!! Fine catch Brian
What's the purpose of putting sand in the locomotive ?
It is used as traction for the wheels. It gets sprayed on the rail in front of the wheels.
What's the sand for?
To put on the tracks when they need more grip on the wheels (adhesion).
@@brucefye3778 Thank you
@@macguy12341 Your welcome.
I was a High Voltage Test Technician and we would commission these station transformers, some larger and smaller. It was a great job. I'm retired now.
I remember when Ohio Transformer came to Palmetto Fla. Must have been late 70's early 80's. They had quite a big facility there. The rails came up inside the building. They would run the flat cars inside and build the transformers right on the cars. They were huge just like the ones shown here. Any way thanks for the video. As always, they're the best!
Thanks for the info!
Yo Lefty,glad you answered my question about what were these humongous machines.
So,what do these transformers do exactly?
I can't imagine how much they weigh.
@@rebelbaron7003 You can usually find these transformers at electrical sub stations, or at very large manufacturing facilities. They can either reduce a higher voltage to a lower voltage, or vise versa, depending on the application.
Cool video JT
Amazing videos jaw tooth keep up the good work
Thanks! Will do!
Pretty cool catch. Solar Farms are and eyesore compared land being farmed for crops. Thumbs up.
Hi Steve! How are you doing today?
@@JawTooth Doing Good! Yourself?
@@train1962 Doing pretty good. Working on another video of CCET
@@JawTooth They are trying to keep you busy.😀
Wow those depressed center flat cars were a sight Indeed!!! Thanks Jaw Tooth!!!
Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I sure Hope to GOD they Don’t take your Property by Eminent Domain and leave you Living in a Shed. 🤔😬👍
I bet they would work with your Lionel Train set!
Educational and informational
Video
Wind,solar power. Is the future
got A odd move by rjcorman today have not upload that one yet but did upload the one with the end train dpu last night
Cheers 👋😏
Impressive and unusual this transport by rail of two transformers! It’s probably for safety reasons that there is a guard at the railroad crossing. Undoubtedly, a powerful crane will be needed to unload the cars.
That was cool first time for me anyway seen something that large nice 👍 😀 🙂 👌
Cool video man. Thanks for posting.
It doesn’t look like there’s a whole lot of ground clearance under those drop center cars. Maybe an inch or two? I wonder if the guy guarding the crossing is there to look out for high spots on the crossing, like on the boards they put between the rails, which wouldn’t bother an ordinary load but might snag on this one.
I also wonder, it looks like at about 11:30, did they pave over one leg of the wye? It looks like the rails just disappear when they get to the edge of the street you’re driving on.
Also thanks for holding out on selling your land. We need more land to stay agricultural. Let them put the solar panels somewhere else.
Elon says it would only take 150 square kilometers to furnish electric for the entire country
Excellent
Video
🍂🏵️🇮🇳🍂🏵️
I would love to see how they lift the transformers from the railcars and put them in their final place.
Hmmm, not sure, but this looks like some loads I recently saw on WWoT. What are the odds that they may be? Love watching your videos, Jaw Tooth!
Neat video. I saw there’s another solar farm out off new market road. They are eating up a lot of farm land
Its putting a lot of farmers out of work. Most of the farmland out here is owned by people who don't live on it and they lease it out to the local farmers.
Interesting! What a cargo. How many tons would each of these transformers be?
Not sure but the max load of those cars is marked as a little over 200 tons.
Great videos again thumbs up
Thanks Barbara!
Thanks, very interesting.
Definitely awesome! Good deal for CCET getting the job!
Very cool. I used to work for a power company. I loved watching our big transformers getting transported by rail then truck/trailers. Hey rail fans ... look up Schnabel railcars. The transformer tank is part of the rail car! The power transformers can get so big they bolt parts of the railcar to the power transformer tank and the transformer becomes the railcar! I love this shot JT.
Good morning jaw tooth I think that one of the crossing gates is tripping
Awesome video! Thanks for showing us things we'd probably not see on our own.
Thanks for watching!
Not really fond of solar farms, but the generators look cool
I saw them move one, 345kV, slid it off onto an ( I think it was an 18 axle truck multi directional) and it went a mile from the tracks to the substation, and I watched them in the substation and rolled it off into onto wood ties and lower it onto the massive concrete slab, amazing.
You should have taken some pictures or shot some video, even cell phone video, and uploaded it so we could all see and enjoy it.
Big stuff great video thanks. Chris from England.
Bummer you weren't in Florida longer. You caught some cool stuff while you were there. A great capture here. This rail line is picking up all kinds of great short line work. As always, love the Live Animal Action footage. Glad Norfie came through her spaying surgery ok. It's a good move for her health and not making any babies you don't want or need.
Where are dude? I'm in Fruit Cove I cross the FEC daily
PaPa JErtoof, that flagger is parked awfully close to the tracks, no?
All kinds of live action! I cant help but mention how cool the overblowing P3 sounded😀
Very awesome catch + animals videos
Your fur babies are too cute. 😊😊😊
How is it that in the US they have thousands of miles of unfenced live railroads but here in the UK just about every inch has to be severely fenced off???
Size of the country and the differences in the culture. Many of your roads are narrower than our roads and you use mass transit much more than we do. I also suspect the RR people got tired of having accidents/collisions with the trains so just fenced them off. Our RR's go across a lot of land with few people and fewer people crossings. Just my guesses.
I caught one of those Schnabel trains carrying a large transformer going through Folkston,GA one day. That must be an expensive haul
Pretty unique train nice job
pusher facing the wrong wy - nobody watching the load
They had people at all the crossings
On the siding at the home track when you looked down at single locomotive where did that switch go off to
With CRT prevalent, one can expect that "all sorts of things" are going on "inside the "Y""...
Its a good staging area and locomotive maintenance area as well as loading and unloading. They have shipped a lot of concrete blocks from here for construction of the rock train unloading area also
Y as in YMCA or YWCA.
Cool shot
👌
Looks like a poor area.
Hi Brian! Excellent rare video catch. This looked like it was a good welcome back from Florida for you.
Yes it was! I'm lucky I didn't miss it
