Just watched a video this morning about the PRR which said the Conway yard was developed in 1898, and along with the Nola yard, the Harrisburg yard, and another yard, the four of them processed over 10,000 freight cars a day back in the late 1890's and early 1900's. It's very sad that today's yards are only a shell of what they were and what went on back in the hay day of railroading !!
Hard to believe three tracks lead in...three out. I used to live off the NS Conemaugh line which feeds into this line just outside of downtown Pittsburgh.
I subscribed, because you have some assume videos. Thanks for letting me experience your type of work, and I will keep watching your new ones in the future. TomWe also, are owners of a Wrangler Jeep.
Hi! I'm working as a switching foreman in Belarus. My responcibilities are: to control the process of fright train disbanding, to use car retarders and give the commands to train drivers, operators of the sorting hump and others. I'd like to know, how this position is called right in English railway term. "Duty of the hump" or "Hump yard attendant" or something else>?
Love the video! However, u might want 2 b careful doin that in the future because I've heard that it's illegal 2 fly drones over railyards. Keep up the good work!
Chess Eric Interesting, I'd not heard of that. I do use the FAA application called B4UFLY to check for no fly zone and airports that need notified prior to me flying the camera. Maybe the FAA application is a work in progress?
Since the September 11 attacks, civilians other than employees are not legally allowed to access the 2 bridges. On the Baden side, South side, people park on the public road and walk out with cameras to photo the passing trains still to this day.
watching this on a 60 inch tv is breath taking. Thanks Larry.
WOW! That is a huge yard
Wow. It's bigger than I imagined. Thanks for sharing it.
Fantastic video, great job. I knew Conway was big but this video really shows how big 👍🏻🚂

That is mind blowing. Thank you for posting.

It’s 4 in and 4 leading out
As a cab driver I use to run RR Trips. I've been inside the building at 5:20 (middle). This railyard is massive in size. Nice work on the video.
that place is huge.Almost the size of a medium size city
Nice! I didn’t know Conway was a hump yard!
Used to be a double hump
Very nice. cool video.
awesome train video
Thank you sir 😁

Nice video man. I have railfanned the area and it didn't disappoint. Great work☺
I Railfan here 2 times and neither of them were bad they’re great
Where would you stand?
Beautiful
Really nice. Thanks!
Nice video could you do one on crows run ?
I could. What exactly do you want to see? also, make sure you subscribe so that you get notified as I upload other flights of the local area.
man how the ns peeps made a shambles out of the east bound side of the yard. very depressing for a rr man who works there.
used to work for Norfolk southern as a conductor...this yard is a fucking mess. always has been. Mingo is the place to be.
how manystreets and buildings could you fit in this yard?

From another video I saw, that law is enforced by Homeland Security.
How is anybody ever going to capture this awesome footage if citizens don't risk it once in awhile? I don't see the railroads doing this with drones.
What do you mean by that?
Do railroads make drone videos over their rail yards?
I love trains so much, very nice video, thank you. I have a question for you, what is the name of the song playing from 0:00 to 3:00?
just more yards please !
Is that bridge at 07:38 still closed off so railman s cannot use it?

Why are cars just rolling along the track by themselves
It's a hump yard, they push the cars over the hump and they roll down hill into the track that they need to be connected to.
They are set to free to roll to the line to where they will go next. Look up hump yard. ua-cam.com/video/zlSM_Tyfmts/v-deo.html. It explains a lot.
