If the engine in another loco craps itself then the engine that's shutdown could be turned on and the loco with the busted engine just have its traction motors powered.
Great show JT. I love this main street train in a historic small Kentucky town with the Xmas trees and people watching. Train watching don't get much better than this. Epic.
Just an absolutely awesome video! Trains, lots of families enjoying the festivities, and the big win for everyone of Santa and Mrs. Claus!!!!! Well done!!!
Mr. Tooth, this live action video knocked it out of the park! Made me think of all the times I came near places where you bring us great video that I passed driving back and forth from Pittsburgh to Nashville but I never knew! Longest train I have ever seen. Multiple DPU's! Also a great tribute to first responders who selflessly help strangers and save lives with not enough credit. I imagine also nice to have an interval of peace and quiet on your farm with the big live action just Loki and Chessie. Thank you!
Your willingness to put in long hours to get the best shots is a big part of why you're the top banana of train video channels. That, and your personality. Five stars.
Live action! Kids getting told off by the police, folk wandering around. I love it. This video will be a historical document in years to come. Preserving everyday life. Personally JT, I wouldn’t change a thing on how you film, what you film and where you film. On a wet, dark December evening, this is perfect entertainment for me. My wife will put something on the TV and be asleep in less than 5 minutes so it’s headphones on and volume up!
THANK YOU! this has been the best thing i have seen in a long time. normal people with normal children in a normal town having a good time. unlike so many other places we are shown.
Gotta say that I really Ioved the intro! It's great how you explain the area you are visiting and show the surrounding views. Makes us feel like we are there with you! Enjoy the holiday season and keep up the outstanding work!
Great video. It’s hard to imagine it’s been 54 years since I rode through LaGrange on the Pan American visiting my sister in Louisville for Christmas 1969.
Another great video JT, this town is in my bucket list now, thanks to you. Happy holidays and thank you for all the time and love you put in all your videos, sir !!
Thanks for your outstanding video! Incredible Street Running in La Grange with almost endless giant trains - filmed from the first loco to the last freight car. That's Railfanning at its finest! The street is also crowded with people - they can't help but wait patiently. The La Grange police looks well organized to guarantee a save drive for the huge trains through the narrow street. Big thanks from a railfan!
Thank you very much! I really appreciate your support with the Super Thanks! That really helps with the gas for sure! LaGrange Police are busy keeping people safe from the trains, especially during Light Up LaGrange which is coming up. I also saw them fix a bent crossing arm that kept going up and down and they prevented damage to passing vehicles. I am going to be going back there again very soon. Thanks again for your support!!
@@JawTooth Thank you - also for your interesting information: "...saw them fix a bent crossing arm ..." Do I understand this correctly: ...the Police fixed a bent barrier at the railway crossing...? Very good Street Running Job by the Police - Safety First!
@@g.springfield6866 Yes, I filmed it. It's in one of my videos. I think it's in the one where I show a truck pulling a bunch of railroad cars in the middle of LaGrange. I posted it about a year ago. The gate came down on a truck and when the truck moved it caused the gate to be bent. Then it kept going up and down. Cars had to dodge it. Two policemen came over and bent it back into shape so that it would go back up and stay up.
@@JawTooth Thanks - I found the scene in: "Truck Pulls Street Running Train! Cops Save The Day! ..." Amazing CSX truck action ... then following the Police bending action ... Keep up your great work! 👍
Howdy JT! Wow that second train... just massive. When I saw how far back the DPUs were I figured it might be a biggin' lol. You have got some great catches the past couple years at the Light Up LaGrange celebration. How cool! The cruiser at 27:46 has "Purchased with seized drug funds" on the side. Best way to spend most of those seized dug monies - equipment for first responders. Specially in small towns like that. Well done and thanks for sharing 🤠
Long trains through the middle of a town would be unheard of here in the UK, if they did the public wouldn't move for them and wouldn't take a lot of notice of the police either! Great to see the parade, all the emergency services helping out and the happy people enjoying themselves. Merry Christmas! (Or Happy Holidays as you say in the US of A!)
It is now considered to be correct to say, “Happy Holidays,” but for most of us, it is still “Merry Christmas!” Or, in my neck of the woods, “Felix Navidad!” I live in the southernmost town in Texas, Brownsville, with over half of our population having Spanish as their first language.
The last public service running through streets in the UK that I'm aware of was the Weymouth Tramway. That line has been lifted in the last couple of years. I believe the only example left in the UK of proper trains (not light rail or trams) running along streets in the UK is in Bristol.
That was a long, sweet mixed freight. I loved all the power leading and the two DPUs! I think this is the first CSX slug I've ever seen so that's cool. I counted 172 cars. I believe that's the correct count. Great catch JT!! 😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤
@@rogerdavison7961 The lead loco axle count for each loco was 6, 6, 4, 4, 6, and 4 for a total of 30 axles. The mid DPU were 6 and 6, 12 more axles, with total axle count of 42. 730 minus 42 equal 688 axles with two 2 axle trucks for each car, for a total of 172 cars.
Actually, that type of slug is quite a common sight in railroad yards, particularly those yards with a hump. Slugs are used for traction and dynamic braking operations.
Kids will be kids. Love the reflection of the cruiser lights on the side of the railcars. Can't hear the music for all of the crowd noise, I think you're o.k. If it's in the public domain it shouldn't matter anyway. Need some lawyers to get on this. Like the night parade. Excellent video, enjoyed it immensely. Thanks JT!
As someone living in the UK that has given me a whole new insight in just how massive the USA really is! For such an enormous freight train to just pass effortlessly through a main street of Kentucky like that! Wow! What a sight!
Great stuff, as always! Love the way you capture the scene and the editing. One of these days I'd like to make a trip down to LaGrange..looks like such a great American town, like a trip back in time.
That's the first Slug I've seen in use in quite awhile and I'm not far from the shared mainline between the UP and BNSF in western Washington state. I thought all of those were phased out and scrapped 12 to 15 years ago around here. Cool to see!!
I am in SW Pennsy, and what is now Norfolk Southern has one and the Southwest Pennsylvania Railroad, SWP, shortline that runs pas my house uses it from time to time. It is a low speed track and a 2 mile uphill struggle out of a 90 degree curve, so the extra traction is needed. I have video of the train getting stuck on the hill. They backed it down about 2 miles and cut the train into two sections, taking one section at a time up past my house. SWP only had 4 axle locos at the time, but now has a few 6 axle locos, so it isn't an issue now.
I agree. It sounded like the last loco of the lead 3 locos in front of the slug, then the last of the 6 locos were not running. With the echo of the buildings it is more difficult to hear as well, the one in front of the slug #6114 and last in the front 6 including the slug as a unit, #2032 sounded like they weren't running. I tried to watch for the heat plume but the clouds and distance were preventing me to hear and see see which are definitely working and which weren't. I calculated 172 cars with 688 axle count, plus the 8 locos with a total axle count of 42, for the total of the 720 axles. I must have ADDHDOCD because this is the kind of stuff my mind just does on it's own - to do all the calculations in my mind.
Big time railroading through small town America, during the holidays , don’t get any better JT. That was one monster manifest with a cool slug set on the head end, and a double mid DPUS. Neat little Christmas parade too. Thanks for sharing JT. Appreciate your efforts.👍🏼🎅🏻🎄🎁
Scott Appreciate you filming from another spot in the town, always love watching the the trains running threw LaGrange. Such a Kool shot at the beginning.
Thanks for this video, "Jaw Tooth"! I really enjoy your filming. Being the grandson of a railway engineer (my grandfather "drove" the Berlin-Brussels route for many years) I enjoy your posts. I also watch the Rail-fan fixed-camera posts, and particularly enjoy LaGrange because of the tricky road vs rails combination there, alongside the one in Virginia whose name escapes me just now ... this getting older business leaves me searching for names, etc that seem to hover just beyond my memory's grasp! But i did want you to know that you have fans in Canada, too! And as for this Christmas visit from The jolly old guy from the North Pole, my mother saw fit to name me Klaus when I was born in Germany, and when she moved us to Canada changed that to "Claus" ... and you can just imagine how THAT went over with my classmates! Fortunately, I was able to use my second name, though my "full name" remains on my passport, and I get to enjoy the silence when a flight-officer looks at my ticket and calls out , hesitantly "Claus"?
That was a great video, it has everything long trains street running and all the Christmas celebration . Wish my family could have been there. Thank you again.
I always like seeing the trains going through LaGrange Kentucky with tracks going through the main street of LaGrange Thanks for showing this especially during Christmas time and as well as showing the dogs playing around in the yard Thank You Jaw Tooth and have a very wonderful Merry Christmas.🎄🎀🎁🎀🎄🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🇺🇸💨
There were TWO Southern Pacific autoracks!!! What a lovely memory. SP ran two blocks from me for decades. Those tracks are now a local short line, the New Orleans and Gulf Coast, they were once SP MAIN LINE to it's eastern terminus in Algiers, Louisiana a couple miles down the road.
That second train was incredible JT!!! In all my 66 years, I've NEVER seen a slug before. Never even knew they existed, so was a huge plus to learn about those! Also the NYC car that was in that train also. Wonder how old that was? Great train action and in the midst of all that chaos going on in that town that day!! Thanks for hanging in there for so long to catch those trains coming through. Until next time!!
Just a heads up for info- when Conrail was dissolved in 1998, the assets were split between holding corporations and then leased to NS and CSX. To keep equipment separate, equipment acquired by CSX was lettered NYC. It’s likely that car was purchased by Conrail. NS retained the PRR ( Pennsylvania RR) and CR reporting marks. I think as of 2021 all of the equipment now has CSXT reporting marks .
I just realized I watched these three same trains on grab bag and the parade. But your video was way more better and cool. Keep up making the best train videos you there awesome
Enjoyed your clip there JT, Nice one" Wishing you and all there a Wonderful safe happy Christmas from us all here In Worcester UK, God Bless you all. 🙏☃🎊🎉🎄
Never seen CSX use DPUs before. I have only seen that out west with BNSF and Union Pacific. First time I have ever seen a slug too. I thought at first it was an LNG tender like Florida East Coast uses. The longest train that I ever saw was a CSX running north bound north of Plant City Florida. It had 8 engines on the front, no DPUs and well over 200 cars. Going to have to see if you did any out west shots when I subscribe. I was at the PIMA Air and Space museum last October and Union Pacific seemed to be running trains behind the museum literally every 30 minutes. All were well over 130 cars with DPUs either in the middle or the back.
great video as always, my husband as you know spent 3 decades as a vol. firefighter, wanted me to tell you he loves the the quint truck but truly hates the drop down ladder system on the la grange trucks what ever that means lol
That train looks like a yard to yard mix freight assortment. I'll bet you that's why that slug was connected because usually they're for yard work. When I get to whatever yard they're going to get to I bet they separate all the empty cars and leave the slug and its mother behind.
My son lived in la grange, ky. This town. Me and girl friend had a steak there on the square and a train scared rhe shit out of us right out the window. Its a neat town the court house has huge spread oak trees and gas street lights all down town. We went north and crissed the river at madison. Messed ariund there the next day at the tobacco auction.. But that train blew his horn in front of the restaurant.
@@leecarlson9713 That long a train (someone estimated it was 170+ cars of mixed rail cars) definitely qualifies as a "yard clearing special." I mean, the train was operating with seven locomotives and one road slug.
Holy crappola, that manifest had 7 powered units and its probably only half way through town so there could be some helpers at the end. I love long trains, especially manifests, so much variety.
I would say back during the old Big Black Locomotives 🚂 bringing in people from everywhere in and the town just grew from there. I just love seeing these so much. I just love all of your videos. Thank you so much. You really do a great job at what you do !!!
You said something about "I see you ... " when the middle locomotive came by. What did that mean? Is their anyone in that middle locomotive, or is it just run remotely from the first Locomotive? Also you said something about the "one car rule". But I only saw double stacked trailers. What did that statement mean? Thanks for all your coverages. I really enjoy seeing all the trains and all the events such as this one.
1st train 04:55 - 1 Engine - DPU 08:00 - 64 Cars
2nd Train 13:45 - 5 Engines - 1 SLUG* (CSX 1053) - DPU 20:30 - 173 Cars
3rd Train 27:00 - 2 Engines - 95 Cars
*A SLUG is a locomotive that has no prime mover (diesel engine), and is thus incapable of generating power on its own,
but still has electric traction motors in its wheels. Their purpose serves as an extra set of powered wheels for when a unit
with motive power needs extra traction without the added fuel consumption of an additional engine turning.
Thanks for counting cars and thanks for the information on the slug. A lot of people are asking what a slug is.
Do American locos have any sort of jumpers that one loco could power the traction motors in another loco?
My mom started watching Jaw Tooth long before I did, I think she has the hots for him.😂😂😂
@@neanderthal88 Kinda makes SLUGs redundant then as they could have a loco in the consist with it's engine shutdown taking power for its traction motors from other locos. If the engine in another loco craps itself then the engine that's shutdown could be turned on and the loco with the busted engine just have its traction motors powered.
That unit would be called a Cafe

Those kids… they’re exactly the kind of kids who would pull off Mr. Whithers from the amusement park’s scooby doo mask blowing his cover 😂
Live action! Kids getting told off by the police, folk wandering around. I love it. This video will be a historical document in years to come. Preserving everyday life.

THANK YOU! this has been the best thing i have seen in a long time. normal people with normal children in a normal town having a good time. unlike so many other places we are shown.
Thanks for watching my videos!
Yep, agree totally.
So that is what the road looks like, now I understand why so many drivers end up driving their auto/truck onto the track.
Very enjoyable. So happy you filmed Santa's arrival! What a great community!

Thanks brother, stay safe, greetings from New Zealand!!
Being a Brit, I love the awesome hugeness of US trains. They make ours look like toys!
Check out my Street Running Trains playlist. I have some cool stuff from over a dozen cities
Brit
See all those fire trucks & police vehicles, in a town of 10000 people, bet they have a post office too.
Check out Australian trains too. They use a lot of big U.S.- built motive power.

That second train was incredible JT!!! In all my 66 years, I've NEVER seen a slug before. Never even knew they existed, so was a huge plus to learn about those! Also the NYC car that was in that train also. Wonder how old that was? Great train action and in the midst of all that chaos going on in that town that day!! Thanks for hanging in there for so long to catch those trains coming through. Until next time!!
Just a heads up for info- when Conrail was dissolved in 1998, the assets were split between holding corporations and then leased to NS and CSX. To keep equipment separate, equipment acquired by CSX was lettered NYC. It’s likely that car was purchased by Conrail. NS retained the PRR ( Pennsylvania RR) and CR reporting marks. I think as of 2021 all of the equipment now has CSXT reporting marks .
Awesome video, Brian. Please keep up the good work.😊
Awesome video JT! Thanks 👍 for bringing it to us. Tell all your family and pets I said hey. 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
Thank you! Will do!
What a great video from my favorite downtown. Great shops and street running too.
Thanks 👍
Great video as always! Love that slug!
I wonder if all those local/yard units are going to the same place.
I just realized I watched these three same trains on grab bag and the parade. But your video was way more better and cool. Keep up making the best train videos you there awesome
Cool, thanks! Got more coming
@@JawTooth your welcome I know you do can't wait
Great trains to catch but the parade was great too. Really nice to see small communities coming together for some fun
It sure is!
After that long train passed, crowds looked like it was in Times Square
Yup, lol
Enjoyed your clip there JT, Nice one" Wishing you and all there a Wonderful safe happy Christmas from us all here In Worcester UK, God Bless you all. 🙏☃🎊🎉🎄
Hi" Don"t think so,! @@shauntrailskinner9645
Wow! Great catching two trains and Christmas both decorations and parade, @JawTooth, Brian, thank you.
Happy holidays!
That cool a Cow and Calf unit you don’t see them a lot.
Awesome video my friend
Robert
Thanks 👍
@@JawTooth your welcome brother
Never seen CSX use DPUs before. I have only seen that out west with BNSF and Union Pacific. First time I have ever seen a slug too. I thought at first it was an LNG tender like Florida East Coast uses. The longest train that I ever saw was a CSX running north bound north of Plant City Florida. It had 8 engines on the front, no DPUs and well over 200 cars. Going to have to see if you did any out west shots when I subscribe. I was at the PIMA Air and Space museum last October and Union Pacific seemed to be running trains behind the museum literally every 30 minutes. All were well over 130 cars with DPUs either in the middle or the back.
The train with the slug was huge. This was a really great video JT. Merry Christmas 🎄🎄🎅🤶
Thanks! You too! Merry Christmas!
JT, Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you and your family. The same wishes for all your subs.
Thanks and Merry Christmas to you also!
Nice to see LaGrange from street level. Thank you.
Awesome action video. I guess that second train had enough power. Thanks for sharing...
Amazing Footage. Second Train was the monster.
I remember last year! That was something! Great Video! Keep up the good work!
Best Christmas video on YT! The eight engine train was awesome. Thanks, Jaw Tooth.
11:49 - I thought a train needs a red light on the end.
It does have an end of train device on the end but I don't know why it wasn't flashing red. Maybe the battery was dead
thank you for the vision what an awesome coverage. some serious motive power as well Merry Christmas
Thank you too and MERRY CHRISTMAS!
great video as always, my husband as you know spent 3 decades as a vol. firefighter, wanted me to tell you he loves the the quint truck but truly hates the drop down ladder system on the la grange trucks what ever that means lol
WOW, JAW TOOTH!!!! 6 engines & a slug, love that video, so awesome, Thanks great, great, video.
That train looks like a yard to yard mix freight assortment. I'll bet you that's why that slug was connected because usually they're for yard work. When I get to whatever yard they're going to get to I bet they separate all the empty cars and leave the slug and its mother behind.
I think you are right. I was told the slug is going to Osborne Yard in Louisville,Ky
My son lived in la grange, ky. This town. Me and girl friend had a steak there on the square and a train scared rhe shit out of us right out the window. Its a neat town the court house has huge spread oak trees and gas street lights all down town. We went north and crissed the river at madison. Messed ariund there the next day at the tobacco auction..
But that train blew his horn in front of the restaurant.
They probably blew the horn due to a car in the way or a person. thanks for watching! I have a Street running playlist with more cities like LaGrange
Side dump cars and a slug. Cool af. Great job always!
Thanks!
Slugs are a very rare sight. I guess it is being moved from one yard to another.
Merry Christmas to you Jawtooth. Thanks for all these great train videos..
Those slugs fascinate me a lot.
A fire apparatus parade! Tons of money on display! A big thumbs up from a State of Ohio Fire Academy retiree❤
Thanks for watching!
Those container loads were as big as the buildings You had a great spot to film today, given they have a fest going on
That really long train is another "yard clearing special." 😁
Never thought about a mixed manifest train being a “yard clearing special.” Great description! Merry Christmas!
@@leecarlson9713 That long a train (someone estimated it was 170+ cars of mixed rail cars) definitely qualifies as a "yard clearing special." I mean, the train was operating with seven locomotives and one road slug.
Holy crappola, that manifest had 7 powered units and its probably only half way through town so there could be some helpers at the end. I love long trains, especially manifests, so much variety.
I would say back during the old Big Black Locomotives 🚂 bringing in people from everywhere in and the town just grew from there. I just love seeing these so much. I just love all of your videos. Thank you so much. You really do a great job at what you do !!!
You said something about "I see you ... " when the middle locomotive came by. What did that mean? Is their anyone in that middle locomotive, or is it just run remotely from the first Locomotive? Also you said something about the "one car rule". But I only saw double stacked trailers. What did that statement mean? Thanks for all your coverages. I really enjoy seeing all the trains and all the events such as this one.
That mid locomotive (DPU) doesn't have anyone in it. Brian likes to say "DPU I see you".
Because "DPU alright" is taken.
Such a wonderful video. Love every minute of it. Keep doing what u are doing!!!!
Thank you so much!
