Fascinating, simplistic method of return - genius

I wish you could ride it for less than 7x a rental car.

Calls himself the NKY Railfan posts yet another video from Georgia. /s (I'm joking, keep up the good work) lol

The growing coordination and efficiency of freight transportation systems is remarkable.

Fortunately I live 3 miles from this station

All of the Great Lakes freighters have to have a mandatory 5 year Coast Guard inspection and that is usually done during the winter lay

Union Pacific Proviso IL hump yard is closed...love that place. Thanks for the memories......BTW they have a track detector in a hump yard???

Hank Hill wouldn’t be a fan of this

i love riding on amtrak anuwhere in the USA

dis gustin g

i came here out of curiosity, i stayed bc it was so well made.

Worked for CSX in the middle 1980's implementing a computerized coal tracking and billing system for the then existing C&O Newport News Coal Pier. That point in time was a period of increased coal exports, with that being the case Dominion Terminal Associates began construction of their facility. From your description I would expect the Kinder-Morgan has bought the former C&O/CSX pier and some property and built out their facility. Export coal is still big business.

It probably hits the empty hopper at a high velocity on purpose to not give enough time for the pin to fall in place and lock the knucle, it happens when a train tries to make a joint, but hits the batch too hard.

it's interesting to me that Amtrak equipment maintenance facility is in Beech Grove; that's pretty far from basically all of their hubs except Chicago (Sort of...?) I know that they have a big locomotive maintenance shop in Wilmington, DE along the NEC, I'm surprised they don't have a similar shop somewhere nearer to Chicago

I see 42 (Veteran's Livery) is there. I wonder what its status is.

Thanks for the great video!. Could you perhaps make the #x speed caption smaller and in a corner? it was interfering with some of the crane footage. they're too slow to watch in real time 🤣

was wondering how you got access and how did you get the footage? i grew up near downtown there and we were never allowed access. as kids we were hoping for more action there👀but looked dead most of the time. very cool. thx!

Ship is moved back and forth with winches, and ropes/cables. SO they dont have to run the main engine(s) The water coming out of the vessel is both ballast water via ballast pumps and cooling water for the ships generators (have 3 onboard, usually run one in port, maybe 2 during cargo operations)

c'mon man it is time to switch to solar and wind turbines.

Great video!!! I like how you paused your audio to allow the video actions to speak for itself. Break//Break/ I find videos of various processes to be so interesting. The drone vantage point makes all the difference ..., we can see all the angles and procedures.

Where were you filming from that high up? I know its in Louisville but where specifically?

Dispatching in that yard would crazy and have to be sectioned to an extent.

Does CSX have a dormitory somewhere nearby for off duty crews?

Great video. Intermodal Yard Operations are largely a mystery to me. I'd love to know how traffic flows in and out, how the functions are divided and physically arranged in the yard. If anyone knows of any good video on this, please name them below 👇

Could you do the bnsf intermodal yard in elwood illinois? It's comparable to this yard.

Didn't Hunter Harrison want to close this facility at one time, or am I thinking of another one?

Thanks for great video and great channel. National Archive should have these materials, imagine having such material from 50 or 100 years ago. At the time, everyone is too busy working hard to make recordings, and activities are hidden away behind fences and green belts for commercial privacy, safety and security, and to mitigate impacts to local residents. Priceless work, droneguy.

Another fantastic video! Thanks!

Great job covering how Intermodal Yards work. You See Intermodal Trains every- where you look. World’s Largest Container Ship can transport 24,000 Containers. 🤔

Great loading video and always a treat to see the ole USS Chiwawa in her modern role.

Csx used to have one in Pittsburgh, and then they turned it into storage for plastic pellets

one thing you probably noticed when filming the video, lots of blue UMAX 53’ containers, and no green EMP containers, why is that? Simple answer UP set up 2 joint ventures container pools about 10 years ago with the 2 east coast railroads, so that empties don’t have to travel back to their original railroad without a load. So the UMAX partnership is with CSX and EMP is with NS. Both partnerships each have about 40,000 containers. Therefore, you will see both EMP & UMAX on UP trains and ramps, but only UMAX on CSX and only EMP on NS.

OUTSTANDING VIDEO

The truck driver is unhooking the Container Twist Locks on the chassis @2:40 and yes they use Twist Locks on the stacks (they do not lock) but none in the well car. Also it becomes easier to back a 53" in after you do it every day, the 20' are the hardest to back in.

The reason for the bnsf and up engines is both railroads run an interchange train between Chicago to North baltimore daily

another excellent video, definitely within your top 5 videos very informative as always but still entertaining and it’s great to see what happens once an intermodal train is in the terminal, keep up the excellent work!!

Love this channel - nothing like it in the UK

That's why you were missing.

Awesome video as always sir!!

Amtrak 50 and 51 refuel at Russell Yard on what is called the "Passenger Main"

For many years, my granddad kept his sailboat at the marina right next to this coal dock (visible in the background of many shots). I was always fascinated by the coal loader, but never got to see it in action. Pretty fun to have my teenage curiosity sated 20 years later in crystal-clear 4K drone footage. Thanks for the great video.

Hello, could you do a video describing your drone setup with audio? I just got a drone and am learning it but would like to have audio somehow if you can detail your setup.

Dude. What a vid. Cheers.

Thanks!

Thanks for this video, very informative

Another great video! Lake Erie and the Cleveland skyline look beautiful. Very interesting to see show the ships are loaded and unloaded. I have always thought how great it would be to work on a Great Lakes ship. I loved the shot at 17:45 with the train going over the bridge and then the mad scramble of boats after the bridge lifts. It brought to mind the movie Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. But in this case its ships, boats, trains, automobiles, and even a plane a little earlier in the video. Lol, you caught all modes of transportation. I'm sure there must even be a bicycle somewhere in the background. The first two videos I uploaded on my youtube channel three years ago were of the American Courage, a couple years before that, going down the Cuyahoga. They are super quick videos but I saw the ship as I drove by and jumped out and took video of the hundreds, if not thousands of birds following the ship. Not sure if I'm allowed to post links to my own videos, but here they are if you are interested. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWSUZ4WMiJaWrJI and kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIivYYumlsmDp5o

Great video of the Northern Venture, the Cuyahoga River, and Cleveland! I've lived in Cleveland and surrounding suburbs all my life. Cleveland is a great city and your drone footage really made it look beautiful! I once navigated the Cuyahoga on a boat made of plastic milk jugs. Back in the 80's and 90's, Cleveland had an annual Riverfest. Part of the festivities was a Crazy Craft Race. My buddy and I built a catamaran with a couple hundred gallon milk jugs and foam insulation boards. We came in near last but we succeeded in our goal of not sinking and crossing the finish line, lol. At 6:10 you mention either a Coast Guard or fireboat escorting the ship. Behind the trees to the left of the bridge is a Cleveland Fire Station that houses a fireboat. The firehouse can be just barely seen at 7:00. This area of the river also looks wide enough that a ship could turn around if it wanted to. There is a turning basin further up the Cuyahgoa. Here is a neat video of Herbert C. Jackson turning around in the basin kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnSbqaygirh6opI. Lastly, not a big deal, but I couldn't help notice the Sunoco gas station at 29:44. That is one, of only two gas stations, that I believe are in the main downtown area of Cleveland. I used to fill up at that Sunoco when I worked downtown.

At some point, mother Earth will respond to this constant digging and GREED. We can all live comfortably WITHOUT fuels from the earth be it natural gas or coal. Both have a place within nature and the constant disturbing of nature will yield grave consequences.

This should also bring attention to the power of these diesel engines.
