Wow!! Really great video! The Norfolk southern train blocked 9 railroad crossing? Wow this is really rare and I never seen it before. Nice catch of CSX trains.
I never had any idea that there were so many derailment and emergency stops as there are. Watching all these train videos has shown me so much I never knew!!
Actually less derailments than you think, just the internet catches them more often, emergency stops yes half due to the sizes of the trains and the knuckles can't take the strain and break the other half because of ptc malfunctioning
@@ljones121 I realize that what is caught on camera is going to somewhat give the impression of more frequency, but its something I never really thought about happening until watching it on YT. So it was a bit surprising to see. I'm also amazed at how quickly they can stop some of the behemoth trains!! I enjoy the action but always hope everyone is safe, too.
I found about 4 to 5 miles of swamped ramps. It's along rt 146 going east. It looks like the will be putting in 🔥 hydrants. They might be those swamp mats we saw going east to Schenectady.
Sorry that the train crew and residents were inconvenienced. But, I thought of it as a “happy little accident” because I got to see so much up close and got to hear your narration!! Lots of great info!! This was a super catch!!
Thats a damaged side sill on that car with the Steel coils. We did loads of Trailer Train rebuilds when I worked in the Bethlehem Steel railcar division, as well as new rail cars of various types.

Great video Wwot enjoyed the trains second time that a Norfolk Southern manifest went into emergency because of a knuckle break premiere was fun and as always dpu alright
When a train blocks crossings in a town for a long period of time, potentially delaying emergency vehicles, the city and citizens should be able to recover damages.
Or just run normal sized trains and stop combining intermodal with time freight and coal and grain and rail and circus trains and every other kind of train you can possibly think of lol. In my area of the US, NS has being doing the DP thing for awhile and it's not working out too well. I bet only half of the trains make it from origin to destination on a daily basis out of a very busy terminal. Sometimes it takes 5 hrs to put together and they have to call relief crews because it stalls out, breaks down etc.
@@huntersquires7107 So what is a 'normal size train' Mike. 30 car 2000 ton consists with a five man crew? And train length/tonnage/blocking may be one thing for one part of the country and another with different routing constraints. Your bet that NS trains are not making it to destination for over 50% of their trains is a losing bet. And yeah, there are times it very well take a yard job several hours to assemble these larger trains. In particular in situations where the classification or bowl tracks can't hold a full block. But all of that is being taken into consideration when determining what type of train to run. If if it takes a yard job an extra hour or two to assemble a train that may require far less labor overall.....it's a win
Lol!! Every train should have 1 box car, 1 engine, and a caboose. That should also require not a five, but a 10 man crew...hell let's go 15. Take away radios and EOT'S and everything and let's go back to steam. I wanna go back to 1890. I'm sorry I'm not a fan of PSR like you are. Railroads were just fine pre-PSR and making billions. My area of the country it ain't workin' out too well...except for Wall Street.
When an air hose breaks it happens automatically. The engineer knows immediately because the brakes go on immediately and he notices his air pressure drops. They call it the air has dumped
@@WideWorldofTrains Sometimes the engineer will do a full reduction and not put the train in emergency. In particular if the collision happens with just a few seconds of warning. Rules for passenger operations are different
Not another one? Didn't break another coupling did it? Perhaps an air hose parted. Mind you, I haven't watched it all yet, maybe we'll find out 🤔 13:45 ha! Told you!
Yes I know and I do not like that when it happens. It's my new microphone that sometimes cancels out noises. The problem is I don't notice it until I'm home and the video is already recorded. There's really nothing you can do about it when you get wind I guess I could have shut the windows but just didn't think of it
That's what I wondered when I once called their 1-800 emergency number to report a crossing on Virginia highway 55 (gates down..lights flashing..no train coming) and it rang and rang and nobody answered. That was several years ago. I've seen things since with NS that lead me to conclude that it's the "We Don't Give a Damn" railroad.
It's this area of town where the trains have to go slower and it's a winding back and forth on the tracks. Once the head end of a 2 mile long train is out of town it is going up a slight grade and that is putting more pressure on the knuckles. NS used to use DPUs in this area but stopped several months to a year ago. They need to start using DPUs again
2:59 why is that guy walking up to that grain car knock knock nobody home also that guy is a dad when u zoomed in i saw a kiddo a his dad that’s king street looks like there loads on those cars not the grain ones
hopefully you've got fire and paramedics on both sides of that line with this happening so often!!! the towns going to have to raise hell over it!! you know the last real change to coupler design was in 1913! they need to look into an update!! that second one had enough power for it's size didn't it!
@@cdavid8139 they were designed for 45 ton cars carrying 20 to 30 ton loads on mile long trains not 90 ton cars carrying 50 ton plus loads on up to three mile long drags! they're not taking the stress as good anymore they keep breaking knuckles and separating couplers from cars!
@@keithmoore5306 Coupler knuckle design is simple and it works. And has for decades and it continues to work well under today's tonnage. The knuckles are designed to break to keep from damaging the drawbar of the car or the car itself. Basic railroading.
@@cdavid8139 and the fact that NS is breaking them left and right anymore says volumes about them!! besides what else designed in 1913 is currently being used unchanged?? all i'm saying there is maybe they should look at them and see if new alloys or a design change wouldn't help!!!
@@keithmoore5306 New alloys have already been introduced Improvements have been made but the basic design works well and would be fare more costly to undertake than it would save in train delay costs. More changes will come as railroads continue to drive for profits and ward off the trucking competition. However I do not see any design being discussed that would replace what works now

hey bud i love the 4k video
What does that supposed to mean?
Never had a closeup look at a coil steel car before. Always at speed around here. Thanks WWOT
Me neither I think, that car had that dent in it, wouldnt have seen it at speed

2:50 i thought they were gonna try to go through it but then he beat on it, lol that was funny
That guy is a dad
Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching!
I saw the ns train brokn knuckle today
Another great vid. And another ex CR SD40 on the NS train.
Thanks Brent, that was a cool SD40-2 wasn't it!
SD38's and SD40's are my favorite engines.
I found about 4 to 5 miles of swamped ramps. It's along rt 146 going east. It looks like the will be putting in 🔥 hydrants. They might be those swamp mats we saw going east to Schenectady.
That could be
WWOT's just love that you came up on a train in emergency like and i got a nice look at that NS SD40-2 EMD just freaking awesome, thanks WWOT's.
Yes if there was one locomotive that's still in use that I would like to see at a crossing like this it would be the SD-40-2!
@@WideWorldofTrains 100% agree with you there.
He might have just lost his air... 🤣🤣
He must feel deflated, then. 😁
Wow, I haven't seen a PanAm logo on anything outside of an antique store in ages!! Nice catch!
Thanks!
Nice catch on the geeps heading to either Erie or Collingwood/Cleveland Yard, probably got serviced at Selkirk
I like train videos on UA-cam jawtooth dpu alright 👍
Sorry that the train crew and residents were inconvenienced. But, I thought of it as a “happy little accident” because I got to see so much up close and got to hear your narration!! Lots of great info!! This was a super catch!!
Thanks Winifred im glad you like the video. I grew up a block from these tracks and have been around them for decades, seen lots of stuff in that time
Awesome videos! Q001 by Macedon NY around 1230 this afternoon.
Thanks!
Ух ты, 1:16 тепловоз NS EMD SD40-2, это один из моих любимых локомотивов😃😃😃

I have more like these here: ua-cam.com/play/PLHWTPKxVScxg27cEVHkNT3YiYYZgnwgW-.html
WWOT, how do you know when a train is coming, locations of trains, train communications? Do you need a special radio?
Nice catch there my friend
I like the cabooses just as well as the DPU’s👍W.W.O.T.👍👍👍stay safe,👋😎🛤🚂
awesome video wwot
Hi Danny sanders
@@kareemharris6173 hello kareem
Glad you enjoyed it
Awesome video. Hope you visit Folkston the RTA corridor and the FEC Mainline soon as well as the Cajon pass
That would be cool!
What other videos have a northfolk southern train going into emergency?
love cabooses
Me too! I wish they would bring them back
Yay it's at 7:00PM in my time that's 5:00PM, that's a great time I'll see it, YAY!! MY DPU CAP IS EXITED FOR RHE EMERGENCY!!! ;D
Great Video!
Yet another case of disruption by a long train. I don't think the RR's are making too many friends in and around Dunkirk :)
When a train blocks crossings in a town for a long period of time, potentially delaying emergency vehicles, the city and citizens should be able to recover damages.
We should be able to recover damages from trespassers and crossing runners. Figured 50k per infraction.
Someone better double check those knuckles before departing yard.
Did they pull a knuckle in this incident?
Nice
Video
🌸🌸🇮🇳🌸🌸
So with something like this any chance of getting tunnels under the tracks or over the track!
I said for decades that this should be an underpass, theres one a mile down the line on a street thats less busy and w buildings next to the tracks
Wow to videos in one day amazing
Glad you like them!
Great video
Thank God there is/was no medical emergency or fire.
Haven't seen that Pan Am logo in a long time.
Great compilation!!
1:14 lol I was literally there 3 days ago
What happened to the Norfolk southern train??
Thats why they need dpu on this train like csx locomotive with dpu ❤ the ns all the time breaks a knuckle feels like anymore here recently 😊
wow, heavy traffic theb
The gate on franklin avenue is so long
Nice job wwot, sorry I missed the premiere, forgot all bout it
1992 that steel rolled off the truck and killed 4 people. I really didn’t think it was that long ago wow.
I was close I said 25 years so it was 28, yea doesnt seem that long ago
I was up in Westfield yesterday exploring around railfan park. See video
16:15 i think what u mean about the signal on is red on the top and bottom
Like train
9:50 birdo’s chirping
Norfolk Southern really needs to start using DPU’s!
Five engines' pulling; the consist must be 15,000 feet long.
This one actually was about 7 to 8,000 ft
depends on the grade!!
@@keithmoore5306 length depends on grade?
Why’s laphere street the busiest crossing in dunkirk new york
Major north south route
More DPUs is right! Five locomotives up front and no DPUS is asking for trouble.
Just a few years ago and five units on the head end was normal. Now it is asking for trouble?
@@cdavid8139 LOL...yeah I know right. DPs never cause problems, or break trains in half.
Or just run normal sized trains and stop combining intermodal with time freight and coal and grain and rail and circus trains and every other kind of train you can possibly think of lol.

Good video as always ns is always having problems 😂
4 CSX units up front, and flying low!! Lol
What happens if an ambulance has to cross the tracks?
They cross at the first available crossing
Here is an example: ua-cam.com/video/kBrtdxlTeBE/v-deo.html
Blast the train horns in town
At middle road why does the signal stay on wile when there’s a train in the block
Have u every seen ice cream drive in dunkirk new york
Yes
Do they go into emergency automatically or is it crew activated?
When an air hose breaks it happens automatically. The engineer knows immediately because the brakes go on immediately and he notices his air pressure drops. They call it the air has dumped
But when they hit something like a car at a crossing the crew hits the emergency brake and puts the train in emergency
@@WideWorldofTrains Sometimes the engineer will do a full reduction and not put the train in emergency. In particular if the collision happens with just a few seconds of warning. Rules for passenger operations are different
Hey bud. Great shots Can you share the radio frequencies I can tune to ?
Yes I can. csx 160.86 ns 161.085
Not another one? Didn't break another coupling did it? Perhaps an air hose parted.
Mind you, I haven't watched it all yet, maybe we'll find out 🤔
13:45 ha! Told you!
Why did u skip bucknor street?
Not a crossing
I know
Maybe the engineer had to stop and take a leak!
In general you do not stop to take a leak. You just pee off the side
@@cdavid8139 just watch the wind direction!
It is hard to hear with the wind in the background
Yes I know and I do not like that when it happens. It's my new microphone that sometimes cancels out noises. The problem is I don't notice it until I'm home and the video is already recorded.
