    Trains have a way of getting your attention! I live in Butler and we have a track that crosses a street that gets used maybe once a year! I was on my way to work and as I passed over the track the guys in the engine flipped on the headlight (it was about 5 a.m. and still dark out) and I thought I wold have a heart attack! He was about 15 feet away sandwiched between two buildings! They must have enjoyed a good chuckle at my expense!

    nice vid... i worked for the cnw and worked this assignment a FEW times YEARS ago... YMI57 "the marsh job"... back when i hired on in 1993, the foreman on this job had a seniority date of 1956 (john hartmanstorfer), so no way was i ever holding this job... i was able to briefly hold this job on fridays as the helper had fri-sat off so i bid the job on fridays... what a NICE assignment... back then it had a caboose (cnw 11186) because a majority of the switches were facing point so we'd spend ALL day working the job from the caboose... there's an ice box in the caboose and we would "ice up" at the yard office before departing for jones island... also in the winter fuel oil was added to the caboose for the stove, gotta have heat in the winter and they would leave the stove run even off duty so when you got in it the next morning it was all nice and toasty inside... pretty fun times

    Saw a UA-cam about a passenger train in Florida where it reverses in a triangle before setting back into the terminal station. The conductor rides on the last carriage going into the station. He has a length of tubing about six foot which attaches to the brake hose and on the other end is a whistle which he activates with a spring loaded valve and gives him the means to alert anyone who might be on the tracks.

      As a railroader I'll just say please always assume all tracks are in use. I often run tracks that haven't been run in years to go grab stored cars, hide away something, inspections, work a very infrequent industry, do special contract work, etc. There's a lot of money in rail scrap because it's high quality metal, so if the tracks are still there at all chances are good there's plans to use them again someday.

      Normally (but not always), the railroad track was put down there first, then, officials decided to put a street there afterwards.
      Of course, "street running" trains is becoming less and less as time progresses forward. It was not really a problem back then as it tends to be nowadays.

      Has anyone ever heard of the railroad track running down the middle of W19th Street in Erie, PA? It had been there for about 110 years.
      As of around 2003 it is no more! Since the current operator of that track wanted to haul more trains (than the supposed daily maximum number imposed by the city of Erie), the Norfolk Southern Railroad had no other choice but to construct a detour route around this street running section and, remove the rails and all of the signals out of the city's street.
      (I visited this back in September of 1996. It was kind of excitingto see. I even asked a couple of residents about the passing trains on their street. They thoughti t was kind of crazy to want to see street running trains!)

      I'm sure the pedal tavern was x surprised there was a train running down the street. In all fairness I'd say nobody knew there were active "unused rail lines " in frigging Walkers point. Old C&NW been gone since 67. Nearly 60 yrs ago.

    There's a boom or "gentrification"; for all the democrats who may read this,, in the third ward/warehouse district and the northern most point to the south side; (Oregon,Florida, Virginia etc)in the area of V.Marchese & Usingers. So a lot of people and drinking goes on in those areas which were old railroad, warehouses & the ports.
