- Abandoned Railroad Spurs & Railroad Sidings In Circleville, Ohio. Norfolk Southern 4 Track Railroad Yard Abandoned. Track, Switches & Abandoned Grain Elevator. 5 Track Railroad Crossing. Grain Train On Sharp Curve. 4 Trains Including Locomotive Running Long Hood Forward.
Railroad town just south of Columbus, Ohio with the worlds largest pumpkin water tower. This time we see the spurs and railroad sidings that are abandoned and in danger of being removed. Time to document for history. We also see 4 trains of various types including a local switching freight running long hood forward like the old Norfolk & Western Railway days.
We also see the pumpkin water tower. I featured it in a video about a week ago so make sure that you see that video. Circleville also has a CSX line to the west of the city. Not as many trains go on that line. We also have the Live Action Pets and the slide show at the end of the video that came from this video.
Filmed Spring, 2024 in 1080p with 60fps. Thanks for watching!

I have noticed a lot more open boxcars (usually just one) on many trains since Shoestring died. It is nice to think it is in honor of him. TY for your videos.
I'm 73 years old and think there is nothing more historically nostalgic than railroad tracks, even railways where there are no tracks any longer. I'm from Columbus, Oh. On the north side of town (Kinnear and Kenny Roads, to be exact), 40 years ago there were a couple of railroad spurs that traveled up near some suburban neighbors. The spurs are now long rows of brushy lanes. Where the rails crossed, the rails were removed, the roadway patched. Now those streets have been resurfaced so that there are slight, almost unnoticeable dips at the location of the rail crossings.
If only I had a Time Machine so I could go back and see these spurs in service! Great video! I love it!
You and me both!
Those old train tracks must've gave a lot people good jobs
Bless you and Family, pets too Jaw Tooth thanks for exploring old rail and history! Shoestring will be forever missed! A heartbroken Fan. Glad that you always remember and mention the Shoestring! Been binge watching his channel, not shure how long it will stay up on Utube? But enjoy it while we can
That was a main line for Penn Central RR. It went west of Circleville, under US23 the CSX RR crossed the Scioto River, threw Kinderhook, Williamsport, Atlanta, New Holland crossed route U22 west of New Holland into Washington Courthouse. There was a VI Tower that watched the Dimond crossing on Court St in Circleville. It was destroyed in a massive coal train wreck at that crossing in the 70s. You can find some historical pictures of the VI Tower in Circleville a then and now from the 40s.
Coal train wreck was May of 1978, northbound towards Columbus, lead unit rolled over on the curve right there just past S. Court St. All the coal cars piled up behind the derailed loco, totally shutting down Court St. with a mountain of coal and twisted steel.
Literally, about 45 minutes ago, I found the photo I took of the smashed lead unit after they stood it back up on the rails.
It's a shot of the nose, NW loco, I cannot see any number on the side, and the damaged back-lit number on the top looks like 3 digits, ?00 - unsure of the first number, could be "6" or "8".
If my guess at the number is right, it may be an EMD GP9.
@@leeroth5604 I had pictures also I no longer can find them. Searching for them. LOL.
Definitely the type of town that just gets one more and more interested in the track layout that is just steeped in history. The old Rail and switches plus businesses no longer in operation speaker of days when business was brisk here. That elevator definitely was massive for its day and the only reason it's still standing it's just a drag to tear it down with all that thick concrete and rebar. Then later on you're down with that four track mini yard and the switches where it goes onto a concrete loading platform just makes this town a natural winner for exploration so thanks for covering the rusty rails
hey paul are they done tearing down the old froedert malt elevator over at the belt... that whole area is slowly disappearing from a railroad aspect... mitchel yard looks defunct, wouldn't surprise me if they pull the tracks outta there as well
A "cadillac grainer" for Shoe string😢 the beautiful ride in the sky for him
@@25mfd they actually got the plant torn down by mid-october which surprised me all done by Wrecking Ball. There are still mountains of processed concrete into gravel on site however but I think all the metal is gone now. It just looks so strange to see it gone from the skyline in fact the one Clinic I go to you would see it from their fifth Story window and all the sudden there is nothing there anymore. It's very peculiar also that the most common car start at Mitchell yard are covered hoppers including former CNW malt cars as if to give a final salute. At the grade crossings it looked odd during the winter to see the snow heaped up on the rails undisturbed for up to a week at a time and now you look at them they're just two rusty streaks. There probably isn't more than one interchange move a week. Komatsu has some production transferred now to the facility on Greenfield Avenue but still must have some stuff at National Avenue yet but I suspect they will be out by the end of summer. There still is track work to be done at the new site but contrary to early drawings they are not putting a connection in to the Old Milwaukee Road main line pretty much where the old connection used to be. Cold traffic to Oak Creek should be starting to drop next month as they close down the two oldest boilers
@@paulbergen9114
yea so much has changed and is STILL changing... i didn't know about the oak creek boilers going offline... i did hear about alliant energy, Edgewater in sheboygan... i guess last year they were plans to close that place down but the plans changed... what do you know about anything new with ladish malt in jeff junction???... in the past, that place was good for loading out 8 to 10 carloads of malt per week... i remember switching those cars out at butler... they were all for anheuser busch... some would go to st louis, others would go out to a brewery in waverly new jersey... yea it's sad... i just shake my head at all the stuff that's gone now
This kind of video would be my favorite subject matter - abandoned tracks! The old rails & ties, old switches and stops. The old dates stamped onto the sides of the rails. The forgotten history is what I love! Thanks so much for sharing Jaw Tooth! God bless you sir.

My hometown. My dad remembers that spur in use. Where it connects to the NS line there used to be a nice train station (currently storage units). Both sides on the mainline had long awnings. I've seen many pictures of it that my dad took. When I was growing up,there was an old train car that was a resturant called the Choo Choo Inn to the left of the train station. The house at the end of the video is The Octagon House. It used to sit where the strip mall is beside Wal-Mart. It was the M.M. Crites farm. A good friend from school lived there. Great place for parties. Very unique house.
I love exploring old train tracks
Brian I can't say enough your effort doesn't go unnoticed all the different angles and your dedication thank you
thanks for watching!
This is another awesome video of trains in Ohio with tracks no longer
in use and grain trains it is very nice there in Centerville and Columbus
along with the awesome train pets Chessie, Loki, Brandi and Norfie on
the yard having fun playing and of course the great train slide shows
Thanks Jaw Tooth.🇺🇲🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🇺🇲
Did you mean Circleville, instead of Centerville? Brian was in Circleville, which is south of Columbus. Centerville is just south of Dayton.
Great vid. JT ! Nice to see all the old stuff before it is lost for good.
You got that right! I want to document as much as possible for history
I wish I could’ve seen these rail spurs in action back when business was good. Circleville , Ohio another cool place for train watching. You’ve done it again JT.
Wow! Those abandoned tracks were laid in 1941. Not even my dad was alive back then. Those tracks have seen so very many of the biggest events of the 20th Century and continue now in the 21st. Thanks for the nostalgia. Great video as always, Jaw Tooth. Anthony.
Great video, there is a lot of history in abandoned rail. Really appreciate when you find such interesting abandoned stuff and share on your great channel.
Thanks 👍. I found 1898 rail yesterday still in use
Awesome video! Love seeing the old abandoned lines and what they serviced. Thanks for sharing!
Great video, Brian! Loved that
ex-CR SD40-2 with the Leslie
S-3 horn. It sounded perfect!
I’m thinking you stumbled onto
the old Ralston Purina plant.
When I worked for the TP&W
back in the 1970’s-1980’s, the
Ralston Purina plant in
Bloomington, IL, shipped
soybean meal in covered hoppers to the Ralston Purina
plant in Circleville, OH. There
were several others, as well,
that they shipped to. Another
one was in Richmond, IN, I
think. Evidently, the Bloomington plant processed
the soybeans and shipped the
meal to various animal feed
producers in IN and OH. Thanks
again for sharing!
My grandson who is one year old watches your videos with me. When he is restless I sit down with him and he calms down when we watch. Also my wife is from Ft Wright KY and watches your videos telling me about what she remembers about the area. Her maiden name is Grote. Today, the 17th of April is her birthday. Just letting you know about a few loyal fans.
Awesome, I really appreciate the support! I wish I could have said happy birthday to her today. I can still do it in a video but it will be late. Anyway, tell her I said happy birthday and I am glad that your grandson likes my videos. Tomorrow I am going to LaGrange,Ky
@@JawTooth
Hi
A shout out to Margie would be most appreciated regardless of how late it might be
A nice bit of history for that area :) Great trains - I liked that intermodal - very cool!
Glad you enjoyed it
I LOVE checking out abandoned lines and stuff. Love the history of better times in America on the railways especially. Excellent video once again, sir! God bless my friend. 💙🛤🚂💙
Thank you very much!
I like that old switch stand. Cool on the Steelton Rail. Cool video
Excellent shout out to shoestring. You are a good man, Brian, best regards Chuck
JT that must’ve been a pretty thriving railroad town at one time with all of those tracks but anyway, my friend another awesome video and I like when you do the history of a town like that and showed a different tracks running all over that just shows you that at one time that town was busy but you stay safe out there my friend and as always watch your back and we’ll catch you on the next one
Oh, and another thing you was talking about that open door on that box car right behind the engine and you said shoestring wouldn’t ride it but heck he can ride any car he wants now most probably he was sitting in that second locomotive waving at you when it went by I sure do miss those shoe string and I didn’t even know the man except through his videos. Sure would’ve loved to sit around a hobo campfire with him and listen to all of his train stories because I bet you would’ve sit there all night just to hear half of them.
Gotta love those, they lead to interesting places! We followed one in Indiana all the way to an abandoned station! The farmers "fielded" it mostly in! 👍👌🤟😃
Very cool!
Awesome video as always JT thanks have a good day from Scotland 😊
Thanks! You too!
@@JawTooth Thanks JT your welcome keep up the good work 😊👍
Always nice to see the old grain elevators and good footage, like hearing those Nathan K5LLA air horns that was on the EMD SD70ACE, old rail for sure,nice shot of local with EMD power with cool 😎 Leslie RS-5T air horn!🛤🚂
Hi JT, Very interesting video, great 5 track crossing with the spurs & abandoned track.A real hotspot area back in the day such a shame when tracks become disused. In the UK we have loads of abandoned track & tunnels i watch all the video's that go exploring them & learn about the history they are so interesting. Caught some great trains in Circleville JT, Big hugs for your pets. Lovely pic of Shoestring bless him 🐕🦮🐕🦺🐈⬛❤😊👍
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching! There are more abandoned tracks in Indiana and Kentucky that I want to film
Great video JT. Love the railfanning archaeology of those old rails.
I found rails yesterday still in use on an industrial lead that date 1898
I agree Brian, that was an awesome shot there at that curve.
I like that shot also. I plan on going back soon
Nice view of the train coming around the corner. I like the abandon sidings and the information about them. I like to think of the days when they were used and when people thought they always would be.
Cool, thanks. I wish I could go back in the day and see it. It reminds me of when I lived in Morehead,Kentucky and watched the trains there everyday. Now, there is no sign that the trains were ever there
Plus there was two sidings that went into the old Purina Mills building also, look for VI Tower. Matt Goodmans UA-cam channel video Update 19 Five week Constuction, of his model RR of the Circleville replica back in the 40s. Alway glad to see you in Circleville.
There's a great salute to shoestring going on across the nation is boxcars everywhere another videos with the doors open maybe we can thank the conductors for that great video Brian thank you
I totally agree!
What a awesome train video from Brian. Many thanks for today's railroad history. I loved it.😊
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice rustic area to rail fan. Very cool. The first half of video features an openness of area that just looks like a nice place to rail fan with a lawn chair on a hot summer day. Looks like you were also part of an 80s hair band with that pic. Cheers..
Great video! I enjoyed this one a lot. Circleville must have been a busy place with all those grain elevators.
Very! It had 3 railroads at one time
super neat area there - love all the abandoned tracks. So many out west here are getting turned into bicycle trails, which is nice, but maybe less interesting. Neat train assortment there too.
thanks for watching! I hate to see them get removed
Amazing videos Jaw Tooth keep up the good work
Glad you like them!
Hey JT I just found out that Shoestring has passed away so sad bro 😢both you and him are my favourite USA railway UA-cam channels I will miss him and you take care JT because we love you and your videos here in Australia 🇦🇺 ❤🇺🇸
I will miss him also. We were going to make some videos together this summer. Thanks for watching our videos!
That was a killer Leslie RS3L horn on the 3349 LHF SD40…sure miss the Conrail era stuff!!!
Awesome video again, now everytime I see an open boxcar. Shoestrings boxcars.
You and me both! I think about him all the time
Great shot of train coming straight at the camera.
Thanks!
Good morning I enjoyed the video👍👍
Good morning!
I would’ve took in that abandoned switch , but love your videos , please consider a store so we can get some merchandise !
Maybe one day!
What would you do with it?
@@2017_K___Booth I would like to have the switch just to show to people. Show how it works. I had one in the basement of my previous house but I don't remember what happened to it. I think my friend took it back when I moved
Yeah!! Totally so I agree w/you. Its been there how long and no one cares. Save some history!
Great video. Love the way you showed all the abandon track and the like. Great job! God bless!
Yes the grain elevator years ago was owned by a few companies. It burned down in 2008 and was supposed to be rebuilt, but everything then pretty much moved out of Circleville and so it sits there abandoned.
Enjoying the look around, thanks JT
Thanks!
Awesome!! I like seeing old sidings and stuff. Keep it up..
Glad you like them!
Thanks for the history. I always enjoy that. I’ve seen the house and pumpkin tower before. Nice trains. Thanks JT. ❤
Glad you enjoyed!
Great video! Love those old abandoned lines and thinking about their history and when the last time they were used!
Thank you very much!
Nice history, thanks for sharing.😊
thanks!
Awesome video. Love those long distance curve shots
Thanks 👍
I love it when an unused spur gets back in service.
Me too. thanks
Superb video, Circleville looks an interesting place
7:48 Just a couple months before Pearl Harbor
MY FAVORITE NS LOCOMOTIVE AND HORN 3RD K5LA
thanks for watching!
You're a great railroad historian Brian . Great job as always from " our man on the spot " . I appreciate your dedication ! Thank you ! 😀
Thank you very much!
Hey JT, awesome video as usual, short freight to a long grain train and education on the tracks 👍👍😊😊
Glad you enjoyed it
Good Wednesday morning Brian, I hate to see places like this shut down and going to nothing. Awesome video though. When will you be going back to the old bouncing bridge? I like those fast trains. Be safe
I will be there soon. I almost went there yesterday. Thanks for watching
Very interesting history. Loved the NS train with open door boxcar. Have not seen one open in years.❤ Switches are always amazing to me.😊We believe there were an idiot threw that rock. There's jerks all around pulling pranks in this world. Loved the double stack train.uou have a beautiful place Mr JT. Your pets are so lucky to have all that free space to run. Thanks for the awesome trains ,history and pets. Be blessed.❤😊
Love the old rails and spurs. If you wet your thumb and rub it in the raised letters on the rails it’s easier to read. 👍😎
That's a great idea! Yesterday I found rail dated 1898 and still in use on an industrial spur in Ohio
@@JawTooth That’s cool. I live in northern Wisconsin and grew up next to Milwaukee Rd tracks in GB. Now the ELS runs those rails. Love Jason’s videos. Just started following yours. Love em. Thanks again
@@Milwroad4ever Jason came down here a couple years ago and I showed him some of my favourite places to film. thanks for watching my videos
Great pics at the end! Hey maybe since String was still with us at that time it was Sasquatch threw some at you lol..jk!! Neat I hope the "round" place is going to be kept and you can video it. We all like how you do as Shoestring did and teach us about the rails dates names of things etc. You both are my fav train guys.
Thanks 👍 I miss Shoestring. I really wanted to make more videos with him this summer
@@JawTooth I SO wish you could've. We put his missing notice of Johnson City up where I work cuz we have train fans come through. I cried when I heard he was found. We're glad you mention & remember him in your videos!!
Amazing! You keep putting out great videos. Keep you camera rolling down the tracks!
Thanks! Will do!
Wow! JawTooth with the long golden hair...how long ago was that? Lookin' great, no wonder what Mrs. JawTooth saw in ya...LOL Good Times
😁 I cut my hair just shortly after I started this channel. I donated it to Locks Of Love
Great work as always JawTooth
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you! Cheers!
I really like that old history and the old spurs. The first one did you get a roll date?,, the one you got 1941,the 47,,that's so cool..there's your house Brian! Lol.. door by the tracks. We had alot back when I was a kid in our town. Most gone now😒 we had grain elevators, flour mill that's still there!! There could be a leftover spur in there. Also was the Gebhard brewery in Morris Part of a spur to the old paper mill here. It was so cool I saw a switch engine run between the Illinois river and i and m canal which is now a towpark path from Chicago to at least Utica IL. I wonder if there's anything on our old flour mill and Gebhard brewery around late 1800s on Google ..Great shot Brian on that train coming at us on the curve.. Great history there!👍be safe✝️thankyou for your time and videoes with always a thumbs up.
Thanks for watching! Two days ago I found rail dated 1898 and still in use
A lot of really cool angles in this video!
Glad you like them!
Hey jaw tooth it's sad seeing trash on ground. Also sad seeing abandoned tracks. Lots of great trains. The 2nd train was interesting. All NW engines and NW COV hops. Yes those stoppers will stop cars if going 10 or lower mph. If faster it won't stop cars. They will just go over them. Have a great railroad day.🚂🙋♀️
Wonderful video, got to catch up , take care
Welcome back!
curve shots are the best because you can one side of train then the train heads directly at you; then as it curves, you get the other side of the train. something about the train barreling at you and then making the turn.
The one line was the former Penn Central (PRR) Cincinnati and Muskingum Valley abandoned March 31st, 1976 . N&W picked up the remaining Circleville customers.
Yeah, as a kid in the 60s I remember seeing traffic on that PRR line, and the freight station in use.
Great videosenjoyed them, and the pooches hi chessie❤❤
Thank you! 🤗
Merci beaucoup pour cette très belle vidéo ! 👍🙏
Thanks for watching!
@@JawTooth 🖐🖐Have a great day! 🙏
Wow, that container train was eliminating z ton of semis on the road. Rock in roll or sasquatch rolling a rock at you.
That. Abandoned grain elevators would be fun to explore. Trespassing is illegal.....l.if you get caught.
I'd love to get a hold of a piece of that steel rail they make awesome anvils.
cool stuff
Brian, I remember that video of that Fertilizer plant at the end of the spur. What a cool crossing. I would love to see a picture of what this 5 track crossing looked like in the day. Thank you for your amazing channel! God bless.
Thanks for watching my videos and commenting!
Shoestring threw that rock at ya! Honest- they can! You always treated him so nice- he’s thanking you. Oh and I check at least every other day for new videos. Ur the best!👍🏼😊
😁 Thanks for watching my videos! I had a lot of fun with Shoestring and can't believe it is over. We had been texting back and forth a lot and planned on making videos this summer. This is painful
First track was penn central. It went straight across NS (N&W) and continued east to lancaster.
Love the video of the train
Abandoned tracks are common in Saint john. We got one industrial yard that was replaced to be torn up again. just makes you wonder.
That switch stand you wanted. Although nobody would miss it but to be on the up and up, find out who's land it is, maybe they will let you have it. Just ac thought. Love the seeing old tracks to nowhere and old buildings! Just so groovy. Awesome video Brian stay well roll on.
Good point! I could find out at the tax map office. I don't think I could lift it though lol
Nice work catching them, trains Jaw tooth keep up the good work
Thanks! Will do!
Great video Brian!
Thanks!
@@JawTooth You're welcome!
It's interesting how the rail companies never bother to remove abandonded tracks and let it sit for years.
It's a lotion work to remove them. I've seen track sit abandoned (even not connected) gor decades. I remember as a kid there was a line that hadn't seen a train or even a rail car in close to 70 years, but the track was still there.
That is called an octagonal house. We have one similar to that on Washington St. Hackettstown, NJ and it is occupied and in great shape. 😎😺🐕🚂🚃🚃🚃✝
Awesome! I saw a barn shaped like that in Indiana
That circular house we have one here in Michigan, similar to it. We call it the octagon house.
very interesting stuff.
Glad you enjoyed it
The Gregg-Crites House in Circleville Ohio. article on Wikipedia. Lots of great info.
@Jaw Tooth thought you may like to know the abandoned tracks you were on in the woods used to be part of the Pennsylvania line that ran through there. It was owned by the Cincinnati Muskingum valley railroad before the pennsy took over thought you may like to know that those were the old pennsy tracks
That spur you showed actually was the old Penn Central. It used to cross the Norfolk & Western right at the grade crossing on Court St.
That would have been cool to see it in use back then! I wish I could have seen that
As always...👍🙏
Thank you again
Nice shots.
Thanks!
That's CRAZY 😮about the building not beeing used by one of the train companies today
Today abandon railroad report is very good ! Thankyou very much . Japanese railroad is same a condition. But I'm hope grow light tomorrow . Because I'm railroad fan .
Thank you very much! It is sad when they stop using them
Good video Jawtooth
AT 21:30 the track your standing on was recently used, look at the flange ways and the crushed rock on the rails.
At one time there was a diamond there. tracks on the north end went to Lancaster and the other way to Washington Court house. serviced by Penn Central.
So Jawtooth, was that your snap shot of you at the end of the video? When you were a kid? Great video, love seeing those old abandoned tracks. Makes you wonder why they are still there and if anyone owns them.
Yes, that was me about 20 years ago with my son. The old days lol. I know a lot of places where there are abandoned railroads that will slowly disappear. I wish I could have seen them in use
You'll need a crane to pickup that switch stand. Don't get a hernia. Another cool video 😎👍!
Good call! At my age I can't afford anymore injuries
The box car is deliberately next to the locos since the train has tank cars leading the consist as a buffer car. Railroads united continents into nations. Just a bit of info, i call them turnouts, not switches. I do engineering in a variety of technologies and that is the technical term for the turnouts. Thought you would want to know this.
Thank you for this additional video on your trip to the Circleville, Ohio area, Jaw Tooth! I enjoyed watching the Norfolk Southern trains that we saw in this video. Thank you for documenting the abandoned spurs that you showed us in this video. From the growth of the trees and shrubs between and around the tracks at the beginning of this video, I would guess that it has been close to 10 years since that industrial spur saw a train on it.
Glad you enjoyed it! There are some more abandoned lines that I am going to film. Tomorrow I am going to film some street running trains if I can get lucky
thank for the video in 4K.coooool.greetz:🍐Peer.😅👍👍👍👍
Thank you 👍
