LONG Train Knocks Down Signal

- Long Train Knocks Down Signal ... This long FEC mixed freight Train had to go slow as it had to wait for 2 Tri Rail trains to cross before it got the green at Iris Interlocking and then knocked down the signal! He was headed East at the E. 10th Ave railroad crossing which is just a block away from Iris (where FEC and CSX tracks meet in Hialeah, Florida ).
Please help me with travel fund to document abandoned rails in other states and cities. All I ask for is $1 or $2 monthly.

I came here expecting to see a signal physically being taken down by a train.
sall good
@ MARK R: Me too! ROFLOL ! ! !
RailROL82 LOL no, most people would not be familiar with that slang term.
Yeah
Jovetj or if a vehicle damages the signal, leaving the signal in the path of a train that is too close or too fast to stop
Clicked for some cool destruction of signals, stayed for the super cool tenders, consist, and casual commentary. Not often do people make videos like these so entertaining! Nice stuff
Don’t you just love the noises and sounds that all that iron and steel a clanging and banging as a train rolls down that track. Superb engineering
Rachel Haluska perception is strong in you young Rachel, Go Far You Will. 👍😳🤔😊
Rachel Haluska indeed it is young Rachel. My stick on fault, I am persistently told is, I am far too Honest🤔🤗
I agree
If you kept recording just a bit longer I swear this train would've reappeared from where it began because Earth is round.
No. That would only be true if Earth had a diameter of a few miles.
Earth is flat. You obviously aren't reading the news these days.
ackmino well what about water the water will go to space and there will no space and if you are in a boat and ran out of space you would fall
@@ackmino did you fall on your head at birth?
Watch out for triggered flattards.
I grew a beard waiting for this train!
me too
Rolando Gutierrez😂😂😂😂😂
I was a teenager when I started watching it, now I'm 46...🙄
lol so funny
I grew some mushrooms under my roll...
That guy waits 10 minutes, then risks his life because he can't wait 5 more seconds. Stupidity never ceases to amaze me.
Felt like *more* than 10 Minutes to me?!! Nonetheless, you are right about impatient drivers... Ole Fred in the loco still could have maybe put the hammer down a bit harder!
@@PS-gg2rd He went right as the train passed. There could have been a train on the second track going the oposite direction that crossed just as he did. And he wouldn't have seen it because it was obscured by the first train.
Why is it stupid , because you are or what ....
This is railroad terminology ,stay off troll....
@@JungleYT haha have you ever been on a freight train. They aren't exactly rocketships!
Watched a video titled bridge collapse. For about 2 minutes the video shows ice chunks hitting the bridge and then as the bridge starts to move,it stops.
Glad to hear real bells and not those awful e-bells!
Fight me
e-bells are better for hearing impaired. Also little maintenance. Real bells requiregular lubrication, contact cleaning and clapper adjustment.
There is nothing wrong with the Electronic E Bell we have them here in Alaska
Yeah... but I'm NOT a fan of American-type bell operations. The fact that it only rings when the gates are going down scares me. For the visually impaired, if they didn't hear the initial bells, they may not realize it until it's too late (unless they hear the train's horn and the engineer doesn't forget or isn't a no-horn zone).
In my country of Canada, we use almost exactly the same signal system as you do, except for one key difference - the bells ring continuously until the gates are back up again.
What would happen if you just neededto get to that next street so you jump on the train
A lot of cool stuff going on in this video. The train with 2 natural gas tenders and seeing the light knocked down. That was awesome!
Was that train runing on natural gas vs diesel?
Jaw Tooth hi
Jaw Tooth fec runs lng tenders with all their locomotives.
When I was a kid back in the 50's, my dad used to take me to the Columbus OH union station, track level, to watch the old steam locomotives roll by.
The steam, the smoke blowing into my face are memories I will never forget. And the noise of those beautiful engines still rings in my mind. Good video, thanks for posting.
I grew up in Columbus, and one of first jobs out of high school was a printing company next to Columbus’s Union Station. Of course it is long gone with a huge convention center in its place. Must have been the late 1970’s.
Jesus, I just turned 100 years old waiting for the train LoL 😂. That is how long it took to just reach the crossing
LOL for real, but it was exciting though!
Yeah I got the wrong idea when I read the title, I get it now!
same
Yeah
Same here
I have NEVER heard that and I come from a family of railroad workers. When I read that I thought the train was going to literally KNOCK the signal down as in breaking it and in need of repair.
I watched a video a while back that stated something like train knocks down crossing signal, and when the train came by, because some idiot ran the gate and left it broken on the track, the train took out the signal.
To me the wording should have been "long train waits for green signal during slow approach," then signal goes red {as it is supposed to} after the train has entered the block in the descriptor area of the video or at least more details or your definition of "knocking down a signal".
Otherwise the title could be construed as click bait when the signal never got knocked down.
Nice video and train, but I live in Florida, born and raised and I have never, not once heard that term until this video.
And I've called CSX and other RR's when I've found broken or faulty signals along the rails or crossings. And I've never heard any conductor or engineer I know call it out like that either.
you were baited, dude. As all of as.
Interesting, first time I've seen locomotives running on natural gas. And hauling the fuel tanks just like steamers hauling oil and water behind em. Neat. Good work.
The BN tried that at one time.Not enough power for there needs.
Turbines would love that lng.
Do the tenders double as road slugs? CSX is known to haul fuel ⛽ on some its road slugs.
@@barbaradarnell.3802 BN: not enough power.
FEC 2 mile long fully loaded freight:
We dont get pissed .... We get PAID all day... Moving or not.
If your getting pissed off, then you need to find a new job..
Great answer
My mom doesn't have a job.
@Jesse hes talking about sitting in track waiting for the train to pass lol and getting paid to sit there and wait
Train newbie here too, and yeah, I expected to see some kind of collision, but now I know better and I got to see a long train without being the one stuck in a car in traffic. 😁
The colors of the signal lights give information to the Engineer operating the train. The safetran signals seen in this video can have 1, 2, or 3 signal heads, with all 3 heads usually containing 3 lights, and on rare occasions 4 Lights. The top light is Green, the middle is Yellow, and the bottom is Red. Only one light is lit on each head at any given time, and the pattern of colors that the different heads display is called an Aspect. The Aspect of the signal can tell the Engineer to continue, or resume at Track Speed, the maximum speed allowed for the track beyond that Signal post which is the Highest Aspect, until he reaches the next Signal, this Aspect is called CLEAR and displays a Green light on the top Head and Red lights on all heads below. The Lowest Aspect is STOP and the Engineer must Stop the train just before reaching the the Signal post that is displaying the STOP Aspect, this Aspect displays Red lights on all Heads on the Signal Post. If the Engineer encounters a Stop Signal and fails to stop the train before any part of the train passes any part of the Signal Post, by Evan an inch, they will be taken out of service and most likely Terminated, There are many different Signal Aspects used on the different Railroads in the US, but the two mentioned above are common to all US Railroads that use Safetran Signals. Basically all us Railroads also use other Aspects to tell the Engineer information about speed restrictions, stop Signals, etc ahead, at the next or second Signal.
While watching the video, it started out showing Red on all 3 heads or STOP, and the train continued to sit there for a while. After both Commuter trains crossed the Diamond ( where 2 sets of tracks cross each other) the Signal where the train was sitting which would have been a Stop Signal switched to a Proceed at Restricted Speed Aspect which depending on the Railroad and where the train was, the speed would be restricted to somewhere between 5 and 15 MPH And Be Ready to Stop, or a speed that you can Stop within half the distance to anything that is on your track
The train then proceeded towards the Signal at the diamond and started to stop when the Aspect changed to Clear and the train started to accelerate. and when it passed the signal the Aspect “Dropped to a Stop Aspect known in US Railroad jargon as “Knocking the Signal Down”
As they Knocked the Signal Aspect Down from the Highest Aspect (CLEAR) to the Lowest Aspect (STOP)
You know your stuff! Happy Thanksgiving!
Many thanks for that clear and logical explanation. I now understand what "knocking the signal down" means in railroad jargon :)
I love seeing graffiti tags on train cars. It gives them personality, and it make me think thry have tattoos.
LOL I see your point. Thanks as always for the views and comments!
@@railrol82 You bet! Hope you have a great week. :)
By the way, people need to be careful and not do what the truck did at the end. It's not unusual for a train to be headed in the other direction of the other trucks, which case it would have been a very bad day for that truck! People, wait for the arms to lift up before you go!!
That is the right thing to do--wait for the crossing gates to rise before crossing the tracks.
Same for pedestrians
I love how the white truck at the end couldn't even wait for the crossing arms to go up, He was like: "F these crossing arms, I got places to be." LMAO
The Japanese envy, the size of the American BIG scale and generous heart.
Thank you for that comment. I admire Japan for being a resilient, industrious, and honorable country!
America hav brig 🌭
What a video Roly, terrific ! I’ve never seen a train come up so close to the signals to wait for his green. You caught it all in one video, even an impatient driver :-))
Great vid Roly !
Haha, the first truck had waited for 15 mins already but couldn't wait for 5 seconds more!
Actually that was very stupid.
He had no chance to see if a train came from the other side.
maybe he was too angry to think clearly.
right!
We will never know.
If another train come with 35 miles pr. hour, it is about 50 feet pr. second.
Seeing, making decission, accelerating... all takes time.
I think he just assumed there was no more trains.
Welcome to south Florida
What if there was a Brightline train coming the other direction a few moments after the train has passed at double the speed? and he is like "why hasn't the gate gone up? let me go around as I have sitting here so damn long." then BOOM! People like that you will see on the news as a tragedy in a few weeks until they get it in their skulls that Broward is a changed place.
I love the sound of trains. The big diesel engines and the sound of the tracks. Me and my buddy used to jump on a train that ran behind his house and ride into town. Good ol days.
One helluva train vid. Haven't seen a train that long in years and years! Loved every minute! Thanks!
I appreciate your kind words, Robert. Thanks as always for the views and comments!
Wooo, those fancy locomotives were pulling some *weight*. All those rock hoppers, the intermodals, auto racks, tankers, mixed freight...it was long asf! 😥
Great vid, thanks!
So awesome! Luv ur commentary! Best ever!
I know what "knocking down" a signal means, but I expected there to literally be a signal torn off lol. Good video.
megarollX Rgm Broadcasting Mee too.
Watching From Yangon - Myanmar ( Burma ). *Big Hugs Dude* Thanks Again !
Wow, that is on the other side of the world from me! Thanks as always for the views and comments!
I would have laughed had another train came thru going the opposite direction as the white truck drove around the crossing arm at 14:49.
Both of them...
Someone could get hurt or killed
a very fast moving train
A cop should have been sitting there on the opposite side. LOL
ksbear2 Technically, it's a running a red light violation while the red lights are flashing, even if the arms are moving up/down.
When you said "knocks down a signal", I got *completely* the wrong idea! Really nice work, as usual.
Sort of surreal to be watching a train video and hearing one outside my house.
That's awesome lol! I have to experience that someday. BTW, this Sunday I'm posting my 4 year anniversary Best of Video, it will be 55 min long... so get your popcorn ready!
I honestly didnt know trains could be THAT long, holy shit man that is one badass train.
but I wanted to see him knock them down and drag them down the line and take several cars along with it :(
You have steam on your circle, opposite of a train.
Steam boat
@@sfsbeast6319 yeah! Belle of Louisville, casino steam boat lol
This is a great UA-camr. You kmow how to get people to watch your video.
I came here expecting something Physical to be knocked down by a train. Who else did?
Drat. I wanted to see the train veer off the track and take out the hardware, then jump back onto the track again.
ROFLOL ! ! ! Good one!
Well, ya got 1 more fan checking in from Las Vegas !😁🎰
I really appreciate that, Desmond. I have a lot of good stuff coming up. Thanks for the views and comments!
Interesting cool,video...first time I’ve seen natural gas or propane powered locomotives. Great commentary too!
I'm catching up on comments tonight, hope all is well. Thanks as always.
Wow! You could have had a baby, then went it to pre-school while that train was passing by. But, what a train! A small town could be built up with the materials on that train. It would be interesting to know where it was going and for what purpose. Even without being in the line, I would have sat and watched it. I love big trains, little trains, all trains. Thanks to all of the men that devote their lives to making choo-choos, choo. Just my opinion.
That's an interesting mix of cars this train has. I was expecting to see that this train was hauling a few tons of rock, but never a mixed freight like this train had. I looked into what those tank cars are loaded with. Some looking around the net says that the hazmat placards with the number 1987 indicates that those tank cars are loaded with ethanol. I was also surprised to see the IRVING logos on those cars carrying lumber. IRVING is a conglomerate company headquartered in Saint John, New Brunswick. That means that lumber came from either Canada or one of the northeastern US states.
Yes, including those waiting for the train to go by.
GrnArrow092 I must not have been looking at those tankers properly. I saw the HAZMAT signs, but not the 1987.
GrnArrow092 FEC 202 is famous for its manifest, this train always hauls a manifest, including rocks, Intermodal, Autoracks, ethanol & freight cars ALL in the mix, my channel is full of this train specifically LOL.
I did see Irving recruitment material just the other day mentioning that their lumber ships as far as Florida, but I was pretty well taken aback to see those logos too.
That's one of the main trains that go along the Florida East Coast Railway to Miami. The number of trains are so few that it's often easier to just send all the cargo with one train.
👑 It's shocking that i came on here to watch a fast train knocking down a train single light but when I read the comments down below I understand I have misunderstood but still a very cool video. I love trains👑
How long do you want this train?
Engineers: yes.
I'm guessing almost 2 miles and everything they had in the yard lol.
Great epic video...I like IT!!!! All the best from Romania!!!!
Thanks as always for the views and comments!
That was awesome!! Fantastic mix on that one, great catch :D
And I always appreciate watching your vids :D
At around 5:52, you can barely see another green signal, just beyond the interlock. Obviously, that gets "knocked down," too. Great Video!
Down around the corner, half a mile from here
See them long trains run, and you watch them disappear
Without love, where would you be now
Without lo-o-o-ove
You know I saw miss Lucy down along the tracks
She lost her home and her family and she won't be coming back
Without love, where would you be right now
Without lo-o-o-ove
Well the Illinois Central
And the Southern Central Freight
Got to keep on pushin' mama
You know they're running late
Without love, where would you be now

Well the pistons keep on turning
And the wheels go round and round
The steel rails are cold and hard…
Thanks as always for the views and comments!
The dimwit driving the white truck is lucky no trains were coming from the other direction. I dont think he even looked.
He should've been turned into the police.
He could have easily been killed...
This is why train car accidents still happen lol
Too many people be impatient because of the train. I love it when the train comes by and people have to wait for it to pass by. Plus that's a really long train.
You have no idea where he was driving to or what he was now 12 minutes late for due to the ridulous length of the train, waiting for a normal train is one thing, this was just taking the piss
very nice video thanks my friends
Thanks as always for the views and comments!
"I got groupies all over the place". LOL About the only thing that haul was missing was military vehicles.
Yes, one impatient driver who's time is apparently more important than yours or mine! Also noticed ten or so ADMX oil tankers in the mix and I remember very vividly having to load those with Canola Oil when I worked for ADM years ago. Thx for sharing!
I hadn'y seen the natural gas tender before. That was neat.
So do these locomotives run entirely on natural gas, other are they hybrid?
I see those things all the time on the FEC, but had no idea what they were. Now I know.
Florida East Coast Railroad converted their fleet of locomotives to run on LNG [liquefied natural gas] ,the 1st US railroad to be 100% LNG capable
@Bongo Cat no silly! In rail terminology, a tender is a railcar that carries fuel and or water for a locomotive.
AMAZING VIDEO!! I never seen a train "knock-down" or, trigger a crossing gait before!!! thanks man, that was awesome,, please upload more!! LOL geeze
RailROL82 I was being sarcastic LOL... trains are a regular part of where I live that you almost can tune them out. getting stuck at a crossing gait is a way of life. it's sarcastic humor because I do like trains, I'm just tired of doing searches for this that and the other and it's like the titles and thumbnails are never actually what you see. I'm just curious why clicks are more important than the video itself. people like trains, planes and fast cars, they just go out in left field when creating a title and thumbnail...
How did that gate runner in the truck was so sure there wasn't another train coming the opposite direction??? I don't call it Fucked up Florida for nothing Lol Excellent content, thanks for posting.
LOL @ F---ed up FL! Hilarious! That idiot could've easily been a pancake and just for saving a moments on his drive home. It was completely uncalled for. Thanks as always for the views and comments!
@@railrol82 thanks for taking the time to get back to me wasn't really expecting it Merry Christmas to all and to all a good-night
Well, that was worth watching.
Now, I've got some paint drying on the wall.
Ah the wannabe UA-cam crtitc who has no content on his channel. You guys are a dime a dozen.
Woah at 2:11, school busses in my state at least have to stop at railroad crossings...
That was the first thing that caught my too. Pretty sure it's a federal law.
I saw it too and thought the same thing
I KNOW IN TEXAS, EVERY BUS HAS TO STOP AND THEY DO
@@jovetj ABSOLUTELY, EVERYTHINGS BIGGER IN TEXAS, EVEN OUR LETTERS
bellum128 they did you can hear the brakes squealing
Wow, that train had a lot of everything! Cool video!
Thanks as always for the views and comments!
We had a Sheriff in Midland run a gate like that. The opposing track had a west bound intermodal catch him right as he got on the track.
Really good video!.. thanks for sharing
My pleasure, thanks for the view and comment!
There you go, gate runners never fails. LOL
You can set your clock by them in Miami lol. Thanks as always for the views and comments!
Thanks for posting this from the way east coast. The west coast trains here have always been within earshot of where I've lived. Pretty cool.
will brightline trains run thu here on f.e.c. railway tracks ?
COOL video, thanks for the commentary and map link! i wish all video makers showed the location like this.
Awesome! You don't usually see a Coal, Double Stack, Autorack, Oil, Grain, and Mixed Freight Train on the rails!
Very True!
Longmont Railway stocking the FEMA CAMPS lol
And running on LNG
Great video all the cool cars and the signal got knocked down awesome
*2 trains pass by at the same minute*
This guy must be pissed.
Las Vegas slots
@RailROL82 ain't that the truth. Where I live, they go around the gates if the train takes to long to get there. They need cameras there to ticket them.
That's putting it mildly
Great Video No Drama Queen I have not seen a great video in a long time. You are Good
That appeared to be alot of Lime stone up front. interesting to see the many railroads on the Auto-racks including BNSF, Union Pacific, Norfolk and southern. and as long as that train was it is interesting that there was no dpu. although it is very flat grade there in florida.
Loved the video and learned something all in one! Great begining to my day. Just subbed.
You can tell that some of those graffiti 'artists' were real professionals having gone to the trouble to find a color-matched yellow for the Union Pacific cars.
Yup, when I was in the U.S. I was bowled over at how damn longs the freight trains are.
I don't remember which station it was but the Amtrak I was on stopped with the last two or three cars across the crossing for about 25 minutes. The conductor told me there was nothing wrong, just a routine stop. The frustration for drivers at these crossings must be astronomical.
Where does the train knock down the signal????
When the green light gets knocked down to red.
Nice thats a lot of trains in a couple of minutes
Honestly, I think that the graffiti on the cargo cars looked pretty cool, like real art.
Should be an addition to new series when danger lurks you never know when your times up take a look at this guy in the white pick up truck seemingly waits for death at a level crossing waits nearly 15 minutes for a frieght train the risks his life trying to go around boom gates while still down not knowing if theres a train coming the other way.
Sorry for being 3 years late😅 But keep up the good work
Better late than never,Tirahj!
A little bit of everything on that one. Great catch.
Awesome video of this train!
Thanks as always for the views and comments!
@@railrol82 you're welcome!
The phrase “knock down the signal” means to clear a signal and make it turn red
yeah when "knock down" I thought he meant like the train actually pushed the signal over
Thanks as always for the views and comments!
@@tadsmith2015 same here.
I think thats the longest train I've ever seen. Amazing!
Nice catch! Traffic at the train tracks lol.
The only thing that the train is missing is passenger cars. :D
You don't usually see mixed passenger and freight trains anymore, though. At least not in the US. For that matter, most of the long distance passenger rail service in the US is handled by Amtrak, which doesn't do freight service at all. There are still some smaller passenger lines along the east coast, but most of them don't go more than a few hundred miles total.
That TriRail is the best thing since sliced bread - great for avoiding I95 and Dixie in the rush hour.
"Knocks down". I do not think it means what you think it means. ;) I must learn this railfan terminology someday.
RR terminology. When the locomotive passes the signal it knocks it down from a green to red, showing an occupied block.
Awesome video Roly! Geat to see some live action going on! Loved the sound of the try rail going over the diamond! Very nice catch!
RailROL82 It had a good clean, sharp sound to it! I'm sure it's in pretty good shape! I'd imagine try rail owns the diamonds since they are the ones going over the FEC main so with them being a passanger line the maintenance would have to be kept up fairly well for public safety!
It could be due to editing and maybe he did, but I swear that school bus did not do a proper railroad stop, and even if he did, there is no way he didn't see that train lights so the bus driver should've stopped until the train had past. I've been driving school bus for a year now.
Nice video that was dude enjoyed it , godbless you,
I bet the guy in the truck was so mad for having to sit there for an hour
🤣
@@noahhaley0640 An hour? The unedited video is only 15 minutes.
Mad is better than dead!!!
I always enjoy your videos... keep up the great work!
2:10
"We stop at railroad crossings"
The school bus? It stopped, you can hear it just out of screen
I hear its breaks a couple seconds prior, it stopped
It should've came to a complete stop though as a train was coming.
@@railrol82 yes
Does fec preserve crossing signals because there is so many rr Crossings with mechanical bells there
Yes, FEC has a lot of M-bells on their crossings all the way from Miami to Jacksonville. Thanks as always for the views and comments!
I don't know about any one else, but for the 7mins. 20sec. leading up to the "Knock Down" I was on the edge of my seat. The buildup to 7:20 was Riveting. Then at 299,792 kps, It Changed from Green to Red. I had to Rewind and Replay at 0.75 Speed just to savor the moment.
It was so exciting, I couldn't watch the rest of the video. Nothing could ever Top THAT One Single Moment. So fleeting.
I can only hope this You Tuber's other videos aren't as Compelling. I don't think my heart could take the strain.
I was just being funny.
2:10 DID THAT BUS JUST DO THAT?!?!
It absolutely did!
FEC runs trains like this everyday. They are long & in blocks. Track speed is fast so I enjoy watching them
So after a train passes a green signal, it then turns red and that's what video is all excited about?
What? A signal changing when a train goes by.
Why would a driver be pissed? It's his job to drive the train.
1. hey! my uncle lives near there. 2. by now there should be a bridge over each track.
They're not planning on doing bridges over there tracks...
I thought the train was gonna actually knock it down
That is railroad lingo for knocking the green signal down to red, showing an occupied block. Thanks as always for the views and comments, Trackside!
Excellent video R! Four ES44's leading, that's a lot of power! Poor people who had to wait for the train to pass, lol!
Exactly!
I would have laughed my ass off if another train was coming the other way,and plowed that pick up
I love the fact that train was hauling Irving Lumber.. from my hometown of Saint John, NB Canada
Everything moves at a snail's pace in the railroad world. If air traffic (much more dangerous) moved this slow, our nation would grind to a halt. Unbelievable.
Direct consequence of the US approach of freight traffic by rail: Long, heavy and so slow trains, occupying RR X-ings and tracks.
In Europe we limit our trains to approx 1800T, hauled by 1 single 5000Kw E-Loco
Resulting in Freight trains running with 80-90 kmh, a speed which is reached within short time so they can run between passenger trains.
The result: Less interference for road traffic, less track occupation > More efficient transport
Max train weight in Europe is 2400T, as the drawbar-coupler we use has that more or less as a limit, but that's on flat tracks only.
So in practice, they're limited to 1800T depending on the route they have to drive. In the Alps, they sometimes split to guarantee the 80kmh and/or additional loco's are added.
Exceptions are the 4000+ T iron ore trains between Rotterdam and Germany, they're fixed sets, equiped with UIC AKe69 couplers, hauled by a twin set BR 189 (Bo-Bo, 6400Kw each) and the IORE Trains in Norway/Sweden.
95% of international freight trains are hauled by multi(4) system 80T Bo-Bo E-loco's with an continuous rating of 5000-6000 Kw, running with approx 80-90 kmh
All loco's are equiped with several security systems for the different countries, which however are more-and-more displayed in a standard layout (Eurocab).
scdevon it depends on what train it is ive seen huge cargo trains doin 65 70
I was talking in general about how much time is wasted by trains sitting around idling with crews on board or just creeping along waiting for signals for what seems like no reason blocking vehicle traffic. Or how about when you're on an Amtrak train on smooth straight rail creeping along at 10 MPH sometimes between stops for no obvious reason. Stuff like that.
It just doesn't seem like anyone is in a hurry in the railroad business to me in general.
And yet, we owe 90% of our local distribution to trains.
Nice video Keep Making These Video Dude I like them so much I subscribe
RailROL82 your my friend to
That train could supply a whole city with domestic product for a long while.
As long as that city needed tons of rock, sure.
Very nice video Railrol82 plus nice weather down your way plus over New Brunswick rain!!
your welcome plus that is main thing very nice weather plus Happy Easter!!
