    Another great video from Deshler Scott, it might be far from your house but it sure is worth the trip for the shear number of trains! Middletown the home of JD Vance! See you on the next one Scott. ❤😊👍

      Thanks Carol! I think I can make one last video from there and that will be it. Yep, JD Vance is from Middletown. He`s done well for himself while living through some difficult circumstances. Hope you have a great week!

    After the coil train we had a 119 car mixed manifest. It included a beautiful untagged UP box car and a good strip or 2 of TTX box cars! Another great catch, Scott. 😃😃😃😃❤❤❤❤❤

    I love the coil steel car, Scott! With the largest coil I've ever handled being around 35,000 pounds, the size of most of these were truly impressive! 😃😃😃😃😃❤❤❤❤❤ The size of the grain elevator in the background is truly impressive, too! A fabulous catch , Scott! Thank you very much.

    Scott, all they would have to do is put a flange greaser about middle ways of each one of those turns and that would stop all of that squealing just listening to it on my headphones. I have to turn the volume down. I can’t stand it 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

      Thanks Margie! I got one left to post from Deshler and I`m going to turn the volume down further in it to make it a little quieter to watch. I did that in this video, but I guess I have to edit it down more than 20%! Lol

    • @1960gambit

      I noticed that the length of the cars affects how bad they squeal too on that last train. I guess the longer the car is, the less they squeal!

    Really liking this Deshler series Scott. Great job. Watching this one brought an old question to mind that you might know the answer to. Don't bother if it's complicated, but on the auto racks especially, I have noticed that many of the cars will display a particular RR herald on the side but also the TTGX reporting mark. Does that just indicate that the car is leased to that railroad but owned by Trailer Train? Thanks for a good one.

    • @1960gambit
      @1960gambit  Місяць тому +2

      Thanks Lou! Well, I did some research, and I never did get a definitive answer to your question. My gut feeling is that the railroad leases the car but wants their name on the car to help identify which railroad is actually leasing it in case there is some sort of issue with it. Just my best guess, but I bet I`m close!

  • @garymiller5937
    @garymiller5937 Місяць тому +2

    Do you think the reason the auto racks don't squeal because on the longer wheel base, Scott? 🙂🙂

    • @1960gambit
      @1960gambit  Місяць тому +1

      That`s my theory. I figure the wheels don`t bind up against the rail as bad on a longer car.
