That was a very impressive loaded grain train, JT! 106 +/- loaded gr as in cars going uphill is nearly unheard of in my experience. A fabulous catch, my friend! Thank you. 😃😃😃😃❤❤❤❤
Thank you for the spectacular video, my friend! Many fabulous trains, great scenery, excellent presentation, and lovable pets! I appreciate all of these, JT! Please tell everyone I said hi, and be careful as always. I hope you all have a fantastic weekend and a successful following week! I hope to chat with you again, and until then, 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃❤❤❤ ❤❤❤❤
You can hear the strain and tension sounds made from the steel components. The broken coupler you showed at the beginning is a reminder of the forces put upon a heavy train going up a long steep grade.
Good morning and thank you again for another awesome video.Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us ,but wait there's more. Thank you again and have a wonderful day.
Glad you didn't leave when you said you would. I've been snuck up a few times by trains I wasn't expecting to be where and when they were but I always looked at that as a happy accident. Love the location swaps, enjoyed it greatly. Thanks JT!
This was a great Railfan adventure, thank JT. I loved the new video locations, they were beautiful and reminded me of my childhood Railfan adventures along the Arkansas tracks of the Rock Island and MOPAC Railroads in the 1950’s. I loved watching the trains in the new locations with the early fall colors. As usual great commentary. Don’t sweat the minor NS vs CSX miscue, we you still caught the CSX in all its highballing glory for us. Great job, thank you.
This is really great seeing more great train action in Kentucky again with the tracks in Walton and Crescent Springs KY and of course with some DPU'S and other awesome train action as well as the always amazing talented live action pets dogs and cats playing around the house and yard and the awesome music slide show at the end and as always another great video thank you again Jaw Tooth.🚂🚃🚃🇺🇲
I’ll tell you what JT those three GE’s on that grain train coming up the hill we’re pulling their guts out that engineer had them babies and notch and sanding the track but that was a good train but anyway, my friend another awesome video and as always you stay safe out there and watch your back and we’ll see you on the next one
Awesome video, 2 of my favourite places, Crescent Springs watching the trains working hard up the hill & Walton That CSX Mixed manifest that caught you out JT was a monster train! always great CSX & N/S trains. Thanks JT. 😊👍
Hey jaw tooth awesome trains. Cool seeing survey markers. Glad to see animals doing great. See you got tricked by train on other track while watching for crossing activation.☺️ . Have a great railroad day. 🚂🙋♀️
Another mixed freight with more empty bulk head cars than I've ever seen before! It also had a nice string of box cars, as did the last train, also. This train was very long, but slow. That's okay, because it was still a great train! 😃😃😃😃❤❤❤❤
@"6:00" springs are depressed 😮 but did you see the covers on top 🤔, wish 🤞 they did that for coal trains too, But alas, no dpu, thanks J.T 🙏 and Norfork Southern ❤
Not sure what you mean. You can't see the hatch covers on those cars from the angle the video is shot from. The metal parts on top of the car are walkways for workers to use when opening the car. Grain is carried in covered hoppers because it rots if it gets rained on. Coal is carried in open hoppers because it doesn't matter if it gets wet.
That's a good one pulling hard up the hill and my favorite locomotive.😊 Nice lookin' shirt Mr JT. We enjoyed these trains. Loki sure likes to play with Chessie. Love all your fur babies. Take care ❤😊
I loved the video. It had some drama this time. When we were waiting for the last train, I was experiencing a little anxiety. I kept thinking, when are the crossing lights going to start flashing with the bells and see the gates come down? The train kept getting louder and louder and louder. Surely the horn would be blasting soon. Still no horn. Then out of the blue, the train hopped tracks and went behind you. It was a risky maneuver but you were onto their trickery. You spun around and caught them sneaking past. How much more fun could a railroad fan like me hae than this? This is perfect for a Halloween show! Thanks, this was GREAT!
The grain train climbing the hill was doing its best but between the weight and the grade it was doing the slow co motion. If you had stayed home the reports on the Bengals game were actually positive but being Trackside is more fun and there's never a oenalty call. The last train with a decent freight car assortment and the section of 29 TTPX bulkhead flat cars. Either being rounded up for someone's volume shipments or stash them somewhere until needed. Probably one of the last dry and warm Sundays and you had the Good Fortune of finding those right of way markers. They were built to last! Perhaps that marking on the covered Hopper is an abstract piece of art for the World Series. Good trackside findings.
But it's _not_ a heavy train. Autoracks are among the lightest loads on the railroad. Something like a loaded grain car weighs about 140 tons; a loaded autorack is under 100 tons and is about 90ft long, rather than about 55ft. So a mile-long loaded autorack train is under 6,000 tons, whereas a mile-long loaded grain train is about 13,000 tons -- more than twice as heavy.
Hey Jaw Tooth This is just an observation. I noticed that the CSX engineers responded to the defect detectors, but the NS engineers did not respond to the defect detectors. 🚂
Good morning! @ 0:32 is a discarded F knuckle sticking out of the ballast. This is a common sight along the tracks. Why? Because when a train beraks a knuckle, it is most likely to break an E knuckle. Sometimes, the crew will drop off an F knuckle for replacement by mistake. The two types are not interchangeable. When the error is discovered, they'll leave the F knuckle on the ballast rather than take it back to the head end. Locomotives usually carry a spare E and F knuckle.
That shot @ "14:00" reminds of those "wrap-around" 😮 defect detectors near accident prone area 😮 Woñdered whether anyone would clarify that ? Thanks J.T 🍺 ❤
Unclear what you want clarified. :) The thing you're seeing at 14:00 is a through truss bridge -- presumably the railroad crossing a river, though it might be another railroad. The "wrap-around" defect detectors you refer to generally look more like sheds that the train passes through. They do more comprehensive checks, involving scanning the cars' dimensions to check for overhanging loads that aren't dragging on the ground so wouldn't trip a conventional dragging equipment detector.
Great video! You made me laugh! That's OK, it happens. Horn salutes, and a weird horn on that NS train. You haven't been to Lagrange for awhile. Cool shirt. Thanks for the video Brian stay well roll on
I have been thinking about LaGrange lately. I think I will make the trip soon. Thanks for the Super Thanks Support! That will really help me get to LaGrange. I also want to go to Lexington and maybe Winchester, Ky. Thanks again Mark! I just home from Hamilton Ohio
Hay JT the CSX line from Liberty to Connersville spirals down into Brownsvill back up the other side to Connersville to make the grade they go 20 miles to make 10 been on roads down your way bet u have lot of train lines that way good video as always 👍
It gets a lot of action coming out of Oxford and college corner they have a nice high trussle bridge just on west edge of town often wondered how it would b in the cab going over that gorge
Nice video, should of had yur MPH meter with you cause that NS train with the single head end power an the DPU sure picked up speed as it went by.. That was a great catch.!!
Great video, got to wondering, that coupler on the locos connecting them to the rest of the train , wow that is some serious loading. Talk about the weakest link. The stress on this one coupler is mind boggling. Plus if these goods cars were given quick coat of primer, the graffiti artists paint the rest saving loads on paint.😅😅😅 Take care MARK uk
You said about not holding your radio by the antenna, and in another video you said something about not taking the antenna off. Did you know that if your antenna mount becomes loose and wiggly, the power/volume knob has a hidden wrench built into it to tighten the antenna back up? Just pull your power knob straight up off of the mechanism, tighten, and replace.
That first train really helped you maintain your arm's endurance for holding the camera! You do amazing at having a steady camera - never mentioned that to you before, but it's really impressive. That second train, even though not as heavy, was all but a mile long so it was no slouch either! Should have had your radar on that third one - just to see if it really was within the "bookin'" speed range. :^) That next train was right on the cusp of the "bookin'" classification, but you think it made it in. Really need the radar, I believe! LOL! Always enjoy seeing the UP heritage units - love it that they left the flag on most of them. At 29:05: THAT made me chuckle - you having a train sneak up behind you is a rare event!! What did you mean by you saying you're getting old?? You haven't even hit sixty, have you? Heidi (my four legged love) and I really enjoy your videos!! When she hears your music intro, she often comes and wants held while the video plays! She's obviously very intelligent and very finicky since she has chosen 'Jaw Tooth' as her only UA-cam channel she cares to watch. Thank you for all your efforts to supply great content - you've never missed yet on any of your videos I have watched. May God grant you safety, health, and happiness
Sir, that was absolutely epic, some unusual places you got into there, mega awesome freight trains 🚆 video 📹 , great with the info on the boundary lines, very cool, on the no defects, total axles 650, how is that calculated??? Each bogie has 4 wheels 🛞 is that equal to 1 axle or 2, great 👍 viewing 👌
An axle is a rod connecting the two wheels on opposite side of the car. So a four-wheeled truck has two axles; a six-wheeled truck (usually on a locomotive) has three. The defect detector counts axles by having levers that are pressed on as each wheel passes. Since 650 isn't divisible by 4, it's presumably three six-axle locomotives (18 axles total) plus 158 4-axle cars.
Thankyou JT, Really nice area you have there. Weather looks beautiful. Autumn must be quite special in that area. Seen any good Bands lately ?. Respectfully John
It's not often you see long heavy grain trains with a DPU. Maybe corn and other grains are lighter than wheat. A train load of beans probably doesn't require a helper engine. A weight thing maybe 🤔🎶
Cool, I like seeing the old SP logo (20:40). Since UP bought SP, I would assume that they get any rental/lease fees - I would assume that the cars are owned by the RR sisplaing their logo. Wow, that train at 26 min was moving!
Yes, because UP bought SP, which includes all of SP's assets. Typically for autoracks, the underlying flat car is owned by TTX (you can see that car's carrying a TTGX reporting mark) but the autorack body is owned by the railroad whose name is painted on it (in this case, originally SP, but now UP).
@beeble2003 Hey, thanks for answering my question. As usual, things are not as simple as it initially seems. The money chain looks like the Mississippi River! LOL.
Tank cars, especially ones carrying hazmat, tend to spend most of their time either being loaded or unloaded in a relatively secure facility, or en route between the two. Not military-secure but, you know, enough tall fences and locked gates to deter casual trespass. In contrast, box cars and older grain cars spend a lot of time parked at unfenced facilities where anyone can just walk up to the car, and they spend more time sitting in yards and sidings between uses -- especially grain cars, which can be laid up for several months of the year. Newer grain cars tend to be a bit cleaner because they spend more of their time in unit trains, shuttling between major grain facilities, and less time sitting around. (And, of course, they're newer, so they've had less time to pick up graffiti.)
Graffiti at 33:15 looks like it's only part-finished. Probably they got disturbed while painting and had to abandon it. Looks like it was maybe going to be some kind of imp or dragon or something?
Awesome catches as usual! You ever go into West Virginia to do any filming? I dont post on here video wise but theres a grade right in front of my work that has alot of DPU and heavy coal drag action and I get to see some of the CSX heritage units pass by sometimes while outside on break or lunch
@JawTooth it's up in Milton WV it's not a huge grade but it's enough to see some DPUs and mixed freights working hard it's near where they have the pumpkin festival every year
We had a very nice CSX mixed freight. It was long and fast with a mid-train DPU! A super train to catch. Thanks very much! 😃😃😃😃😃❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you very much!
@JawTooth You're quite welcome, my friend! 😃😃❤️❤️
That was a very impressive loaded grain train, JT! 106 +/- loaded gr as in cars going uphill is nearly unheard of in my experience. A fabulous catch, my friend! Thank you. 😃😃😃😃❤❤❤❤
I got one at that exact spot again today with 152 cars
@JawTooth That's a long train to pull uphill! 😃😃😃❤️❤️❤️

You can hear the strain and tension sounds made from the steel components. The broken coupler you showed at the beginning is a reminder of the forces put upon a heavy train going up a long steep grade.

Watching the last CSX a question crossed my mind, why does one see so few tank cars tagged? Some of the tagging needs to be in a museum of modern art.
Tank cars, especially ones carrying hazmat, tend to spend most of their time either being loaded or unloaded in a relatively secure facility, or en route between the two. Not military-secure but, you know, enough tall fences and locked gates to deter casual trespass. In contrast, box cars and older grain cars spend a lot of time parked at unfenced facilities where anyone can just walk up to the car, and they spend more time sitting in yards and sidings between uses -- especially grain cars, which can be laid up for several months of the year. Newer grain cars tend to be a bit cleaner because they spend more of their time in unit trains, shuttling between major grain facilities, and less time sitting around. (And, of course, they're newer, so they've had less time to pick up graffiti.)
In the old days that would be 5-6 units up front.
2 in the back.
1 GE AC4400 does the work of 2- SD- 40-2. or 4 GP-40s
have you disabled transmit on your radio so you don't accidentally key the thing up?
Graffiti at 33:15 looks like it's only part-finished. Probably they got disturbed while painting and had to abandon it. Looks like it was maybe going to be some kind of imp or dragon or something?
Hey Jawtooth, when do you plan on being back in Walton Kentucky?
Awesome catches as usual! You ever go into West Virginia to do any filming? I dont post on here video wise but theres a grade right in front of my work that has alot of DPU and heavy coal drag action and I get to see some of the CSX heritage units pass by sometimes while outside on break or lunch
Yes I do. I was in Kenova on Wednesday. I will post that video either tomorrow or Sunday. Where is the grade that you are referring to?
@JawTooth it's up in Milton WV it's not a huge grade but it's enough to see some DPUs and mixed freights working hard it's near where they have the pumpkin festival every year
@@Bravo6GoingDark210 I just looked it up. Those tracks also go through Huntington
