Back in the summer of 1969, I saw a freight train come up along side us where the tracks were about 100 ft from the interstate and my dad had to accelerate to 85mph to match it’s speed. And this freighter was so damned long, we couldn’t see the end of it looking out the rear window. That thing was MOVING. There were 9 engines in the front and God only knows how many more were further back toward the middle and rear. What a sight that was. Never forgot it.
What kind of engines were they . Even the new freight diesels are geared for 75 mph and I'm an old man that even remembers the men in the shacks that helped stop traffic. I just missed the end of steam !
You know it when you say that wind from the train is cold! I once filmed a 60MPH train in the snow and the actual air temp was 10 below zero! That was the coldest I ever felt-trains of no trains!
Greetings from an African resident in Europe. I appreciate your efforts to shoot these images to train lovers in US and world viewers.

oh, yeah. half of us refuse to get winterized because the nature of the jet stream east of the rockies is such that it oscillates, vacillating from polar to gulf/caribean or how its spelled. 17 degrees today, 70 degrees in a few more. gets you just sick enough to keep your immune system in order.
Hey JT, it looked like a 100 ft gondola car was going by your spot in 1 second. 100 X 60=6000 X 60=360000 feet in an hour. Or 360000 divided by 5280= 68.18 MPH. In that ball park, but 60 is probably their speed limit. Thanks for the great footage! Probably a better guide is to use the CSX AutoRack at 89', 4". Which would have been 60.68 MPH if it passes by in a second........
GOOD CATCH JT VERY FAST THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS WITH YOUR SUBSCRIBERS VERY COOL INDEED THANK GOODNESS FOR YOU AND YOUR CHANNEL I ENJOY IT IT IS A GUILTY PLEASURE TO WATCH YOUR VIDEOS AND YOUR FAMILY AND PETS. AWSOME GOOD. 👍👍👍👍👍👌😇😁😆🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
It is really neat to see the cat and dog playing together. It is obvious they are play fighting and neither is really trying to hurt the other. Then them sleeping the floor together is priceless. Thanks for including that.
That first train looks a lot like a WWOT train - they always travel at speed! Second train had a bunch of coil steel cars - haven't seen that many in some time :) Coal power plants are interesting. An operating plant has a massive coal pile (brought in by trains and dumped) and they have to constantly estimate how much coal they have so that they can maintain 100% power generation. If you have ever seen them unload a train - it is very cool! I am beginning to believe that JT is not affected by the cold at all. He says he's cold and yet he has a short sleeve hawaiian shirt and an open lined jacket. He didn't even wear his Yooper hat in this video :)
I really miss coal fired power plants. Back when I was an engineer we serviced three power plants so we were busy picking up loads and taking empties back to the mine. That's all gone now, sad
Back in the late 70s - early 80s, there was a coal fired power plant in Eastlake, Ohio serviced by Conrail. The railroad maintained a wye coming off their mainline (specifically, the "north control track" - so called because the switches were controlled by the dispatcher) There was a local job called the Willoughby Turn, and the crew for this job had three GP38 locomotives (occasionally one or another would be a GE dash-7) They would go out on the main line toward Cleveland, get the 100 car coal trains parked on a south siding a few miles away, and then bring the train back to the wye, where they would clear the eastern points and then back the coal cars down to the power plant, which was on the shores of Lake Erie. The conductor used his own vehicle to race ahead of the back end and flag crossings in the area. They would break the train into sections at the direction of the plant management, and put the sections into holding tracks in the power plant's yard. They would pull empties out and return them to the Collinwood yards in downtown Cleveland. I became friendly with the crew, and learned much by talking with them. They are long since retired, and Conrail is gone, so I may safely say that they gave me a few cab rides during that period. Your power plant images reminded me of all this. Thanks for sharing.
I lived on Campbell Road in Willoughby in the early to mid 70's and can remember Penn Central running F7's to power coal trains into that power plant before Conrail came into existence! I never got any photo's during that period though. I could kick myself for not realizing what was happening when Conrail came to be. Lots of colorful lashups for sure!
@@mfd14c13 Thanks for your comment. I wish I could have seen that! My friend and I only discovered the whole operation by chance, as we were out train watching.
FYI: I’ve enjoyed rail fanning for years. You can enjoy the outing much better by wearing the proper clothing to protect yourself in cold weather! Just a hint!
Yes, high-speed freight trains make plenty of wind. The fastest freight trains we once had in Germany ran at 160 km/h. However, the German Bahn discontinued these trains in 1996 due to alleged lack of demand. The fastest freight trains currently running run at only 120 km/h. In France, mail is transported at night with TGV ́s. These TGVs are then considered freight trains in France. These TGVs are travelling at a speed of 200 km/h between Paris and Lyon. Nice catch. Greetings from Berlin/ Germany. Sven
the passenger trains are also very fast. I was in Hannover two years back, it was March abs was still cold. I was standing in a station when a DB went past at top speed, the cold wind was so sharp and biting it went right into my bones
i am always laughing my ass of when you say: it's freezing cold out here and your jacket is open and the shirt is unbuttoned to your belly, standing 10 feet away from the booking train 🤣🤣🤣Great video, JT, as always
Great as always!! Yes, booking is the word! I am going to guess #1at 60 mph and #2 at 55. Huge trains! Someday I must see a documentary about how they put those mixed manifest trains together! Thanks for facing the cold!! Big hugs to canines and feline! ❤️🚂❤️🚂❤️🚂 ❤️Happy Valentine’s Day!
got home from work, warmed up a plate of food, turned on another Jaw Tooth train video and had a blast!! Those machines just make me feel so small!! I love them!
The power plant provided electricity to the underground military complex that made parts for nuclear bombs during ww2. The place was cleaned up in the 90’s and is rented out to commercial space. But driving by the place you can see the entrances to underground bunkers. It’s called MOUNDS PARK in Miamisburg Ohio. Cool cool place
Add in the wind chill generated by those trains and it's even more uncomfortable. Seeing those aluminum ingots there was a good segment on Discovery Channel showing how it's squeezed down in 200 passes which makes two coils. Then with a sharp blade set for 1/1000thñ youre looking at over 2 miles of foil..There were also two extremely large coke hoppers. Looking at their cylindrical bottoms I'd love to see the rotary dumper they got thru. Gotta love the expression on Chessies face after the Norfie tussle
Summer of 69 I was 11 years old J you must be 90 years old . If you get cold from the wind coming off the trains try zipping up your jacket !! Great video as usual . This winter dress warm !
I hate to see power plants shuttered but growing up in the coal fields of West Virginia as a young kid I don’t miss the pollution these things caused. There was not only smoke but the water and “slurry” was black and nasty. We used to actually play with Mercury as kids! We had no idea how dangerous it was. Mercury from the coal mines was not rare. We have had breast cancer, prostrate cancer and Parkinson’s in the family at higher rates than you would expect but I can’t prove the pollution from power plants and mines did or was a part of that. I ain’t that smart. I do want people to have jobs but none of us ever wanted to work in the mines or power plant near us, we saw what it was like for those older than us and really, it is a hard and dangerous life. None of us worked there, we moved away, but I always feel like an Appalachian kid at heart.
I raised 3 boys. Cold?...button up the shirt, zip up the coat, wear a stocking cap and fingerless gloves. First rule of survival, keep your head and feet warm. Enough dad advice (nice shirt though.). Now on to other things: Have you ever been to Holly Michigan? Great rail history (the village is going to move the old train station to save it), the village is the first place in Michigan where rails crossed, it was also the summer quarters for the Barnum & Bailey Circus with the Bailey house still standing. Circus roustabouts and rail gandy dancers hated each other and in the bar riddled alley their fights would spill into the street giving name to the locally famous "Battle Alley". Renowned temperance figure Carrie Nation came to Battle Alley to clean up the town...it must have worked as there are no bars in the Alley any longer. Hope to see you some day.
First time viewing and my man is wearing an Aloha shirt in Ohio, in February, with snow all around. That's what I call optimistic. I'll give you a thumbs up just for that.
Man....you wanna talk about speed. Years ago....I lived in Wichita, KS when I worked at Boeing Aircraft. A friend of mine lived just outside of Wichita in Rose Hill, KS. The BNSF Transcon line cuts right through the little town heading for Wellington, KS. The trains along that line literally, flew like a bat out of hell. They were also numerous....generally not more then 20 minutes apart.
Uhoh. "have to" chuckle now with that "wind chill" remark. First one: Estimated speed: 63-ish MPH. Estimated wind chill: -3642F. Wait. :D (Lived 26+ years in Alaska so call it a "natural reaction". Haha! Second train: 156 cars, 3 engines. Speed guess: 60-ish.
I worked with a female conductor on NS. She brought trains up from Atlanta to Greenville, SC. Where I took them to Linwood yard about 40 miles above Charlotte. This was in the late 90’s. I’m sure she may be retired too by now. Dang fine conductor too! She knew what she was doing.
I installed the acoustic ceilings in the Linwood tower and buildings, 1978 I think it was. I occasionally get a peek at it riding Amtrak through there. Big yard.

What railroad was it?
That is awesome! Thats what Im looking for
I found a video of freight trains going way faster😂
What kind of engines were they . Even the new freight diesels are geared for 75 mph and I'm an old man that even remembers the men in the shacks that helped stop traffic. I just missed the end of steam !
@@OskarsgaminglifeYeah I have too. We were lied to. 😠
You know it when you say that wind from the train is cold! I once filmed a 60MPH train in the snow and the actual air temp was 10 below zero! That was the coldest I ever felt-trains of no trains!
Wow, that would make your fingers hurt

Good sharing video 👍
27degrees at 40 mph windchill is appx 6 to 8 degrees.... Dedicated young man ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

There are no 100' freight cars.
in the first train the 57 ft grain hopper took .84 seconds thats 45 mph.
in the second train the center beams took 1.12 seconds that 43 mph.
Track speed is 50mph in that area.
@@hifijohnpeople think they're much faster then they actually are.
Nice catch
Those first two trains were quite quiet and smooth considering how close to the line you were.All three trains were getting with it.Nice work.
Takes total dedication and commitment to be willing to brave the elements to film a train(s), whether it's the freezing cold, or extreme heat.
GOOD CATCH JT VERY FAST THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS WITH YOUR SUBSCRIBERS VERY COOL INDEED THANK GOODNESS FOR YOU AND YOUR CHANNEL I ENJOY IT IT IS A GUILTY PLEASURE TO WATCH YOUR VIDEOS AND YOUR FAMILY AND PETS. AWSOME GOOD. 👍👍👍👍👍👌😇😁😆🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Got a black cat just like that one....same size.
Wow awesome footage
Good stuff, Mr. Tooth
If you get a chance visit La Plata MO. Most trains through there are going just as fast or faster than that first train.
Great video looks cold. Cheers Jt. Chris from England.
Cheers to you
Why do we love trains so much. But we do. Thanks
Son! i love those Aloha shirts you got, I know i got some that have the same designs, Love the dog and the cat great family
From one railfan to another, awesome vid sir!!!

He’s not wearing the hat because he want’s us see his no.2 haircut lol.
Could have been one the trains I send to Jaw Tooth, I just sent one today and yesterday the Q561. Fast trains in the snow!
@@WideWorldofTrains He's got a yooper hat?
... he never showed his brandy flask either ...lol jk ...
Yes, WWOT sets really fly!
Are the tracks that much better where he records?
I really miss coal fired power plants. Back when I was an engineer we serviced three power plants so we were busy picking up loads and taking empties back to the mine. That's all gone now, sad
Need zipper that coat up cold out side love train horn sound good to me happy Valentine's
that first train after it passed through the crossing, seemed like it gave two short horn blasts to you on the side of the track.
Back in the late 70s - early 80s, there was a coal fired power plant in Eastlake, Ohio serviced by Conrail. The railroad maintained a wye coming off their mainline (specifically, the "north control track" - so called because the switches were controlled by the dispatcher) There was a local job called the Willoughby Turn, and the crew for this job had three GP38 locomotives (occasionally one or another would be a GE dash-7) They would go out on the main line toward Cleveland, get the 100 car coal trains parked on a south siding a few miles away, and then bring the train back to the wye, where they would clear the eastern points and then back the coal cars down to the power plant, which was on the shores of Lake Erie.

160 km/h is about 99 MPH. Awfully fast for freight
Cool info man thanks 👍
the passenger trains are also very fast. I was in Hannover two years back, it was March abs was still cold. I was standing in a station when a DB went past at top speed, the cold wind was so sharp and biting it went right into my bones
Even the 120kph is not used by many. Most go around 90-100kph. They are also shorter, the maximum length is 750 meters.
The TGV La Poste that you are thinking of had its service discontinued in 2015
When I was a youngster we described trains moving at those speeds as, "hauling the mail."
Trains must maintain maximum authorized speed if at all possible. We always said, got to get in so we can get out. Good job, JT
Not with Trip Sodomizer you're not...
Good morning everyone and happy Valentine's day.
Excellent Coverage
🚂🌵🇮🇳🚂🌵
So cute little baby dogs and cats are angel sent from heaven love
Great job
Norfie & Chessie are such great friends, that's awesome seeing them wrestle and chase! 😉🥰
Love your animals
Thanks for the video I enjoy them
Wow shes a booking that csx
Luv your comments about how cold it is and your wearing your Hawaiian flowery purple shirt to.
Love those csx trians
Good Morning Jaw Tooth.
Great Catches!
I loved the first train gave you that little what's up with the two short horn, it's a good feeling when a train says hello to you personally
Wow 👌 👏 nice 👍 👌 trains they were fast what is the hurry slow down enjoy the view
That was really fast Jaw Bone. Well done.
Thanks!
i am always laughing my ass of when you say: it's freezing cold out here and your jacket is open and the shirt is unbuttoned to your belly, standing 10 feet away from the booking train 🤣🤣🤣Great video, JT, as always
Very enjoyable sir!
Good catch Jaw Tooth! I’d love to see those fast trains!
Another excellent video JT!!!!
Great stuff Mr. Tooth. I don't know how fast they were goin but them boys are "haullin da mail".
Thats pretty awesome that they gave you a honk.
Around 1:48 there's a yellow flatcar with some sort of "A" frame setup. Any thoughts as to what that would be?
I believe I've seen those carrying lumber, such as bundles of 2x4's on racks .
Love to watch!!! Quality video and good humor. Yeah!!! If you make t-shirts, let me know!!!

Keep the good trains rolling.smile.

You kept your word on the road-trip.

I don't think Shoestring would have wanted to ride either one of those first two trains. Talk about a cold ride!
That train is flying!!!!!!! Awesome 90 mph
Lol, no first one at tops 55 MPH

Killer Graffiti on that CSX Train!
TOOT TOOT ! Hey dispatch ! I saw Jawtooth ! Were gonna go viral !
Take 5 ha ha ha ha...Classic. Great video and loved the new music during the video.

Around 110+ kph. The first one. Bloody ripping it! Didn't know these types of trains could actually go that fast. Impressive.
I just sent 2 trains to you, one today and yesterday the Q561. Fast trains in the snow!
Cool, maybe I can catch them!
Audible rule: count wheel flat spots mentally 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 etc. That starts to get difficult at 50mph.
@Jaw Tooth. You're funny. 27 degrees and you're hearing a summer shirt.
Love the way jaw tooth tries to includes the fans with questions 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The Cat & Dog playing towards the end of the footage was so cute, nice video clips.
Great video, those first 2 trains were very fast. Your dog and cat are cool playmates.
I raised 3 boys. Cold?...button up the shirt, zip up the coat, wear a stocking cap and fingerless gloves. First rule of survival, keep your head and feet warm. Enough dad advice (nice shirt though.).
Now on to other things: Have you ever been to Holly Michigan? Great rail history (the village is going to move the old train station to save it), the village is the first place in Michigan where rails crossed, it was also the summer quarters for the Barnum & Bailey Circus with the Bailey house still standing. Circus roustabouts and rail gandy dancers hated each other and in the bar riddled alley their fights would spill into the street giving name to the locally famous "Battle Alley". Renowned temperance figure Carrie Nation came to Battle Alley to clean up the town...it must have worked as there are no bars in the Alley any longer.
Hope to see you some day.

Great video Jawwtooth I like the videos You do.
I appreciate that!
Man....you wanna talk about speed. Years ago....I lived in Wichita, KS when I worked at Boeing Aircraft. A friend of mine lived just outside of Wichita in Rose Hill, KS. The BNSF Transcon line cuts right through the little town heading for Wellington, KS. The trains along that line literally, flew like a bat out of hell. They were also numerous....generally not more then 20 minutes apart.
Chilly breezin!! Great powerplant video. Norfie likes rasslin with Chessie huh?
Amazing videos jaw tooth keep up the good work
Beautiful Natk5la on first train!
These trains were booking! I love trains! Thank you for your amazing train videos! Thank you for filming in cold weather! I love your videos!
Thank you very much!
Hoooly cow, they wuz BOOKIN'!!!
I miss cabooses...
Awesome video, dam that train was flying.
Uhoh. "have to" chuckle now with that "wind chill" remark. First one: Estimated speed: 63-ish MPH. Estimated wind chill: -3642F. Wait. :D (Lived 26+ years in Alaska so call it a "natural reaction". Haha!
Second train: 156 cars, 3 engines. Speed guess: 60-ish.
The ma'am was at track speed and had places to be! 😄 Fireball Fran!
I tell you what son... they're picking it up and putting it down !
74 mph.
I know you want to show off that cool shirt, but aren't you cold? And where's your hat?😁
Good job catching these fast freights!
Wow, that first train was really flying. Reminded me of the Road Runner. Awesome! Cool video. Have a nice day and Happy Valentine's Day
Mr. Scott, Warp 2, Aye Captain
Great video.
When i checked the scores last night
Wow L.A. By 3
Like a cargo airplane, those first two trains needed a ground speed indicator on their panel. LOL
Keep the video coming
APPLAUSE...COOL VIDEO !!
Hi Jaw Tooth. Happy Monday my friend. I know how fast those trains were going - Booking hard!!!
Stay warm & have a great day!!
50 MPH. CSX speed for mixed freight is a max of 50 system wide. All loads is 60 MPH
Let's start the video, son.
Spoke to soon!
VERY impressive ...
Love to hear that high iron sing....! "Smoke Em"...! Greg
I worked with a female conductor on NS. She brought trains up from Atlanta to Greenville, SC. Where I took them to Linwood yard about 40 miles above Charlotte. This was in the late 90’s. I’m sure she may be retired too by now. Dang fine conductor too! She knew what she was doing.
I installed the acoustic ceilings in the Linwood tower and buildings, 1978 I think it was. I occasionally get a peek at it riding Amtrak through there. Big yard.
I'm guessing those trains were going about 55 mph. I bet that was a freezing wind coming off of them lol. Too bad that coal plant was closed down.
I love it , thank you. Zip up that jacket 😀👍🏾😀👍🏾
Thank you! 🤗
