They use a Metra butt head near the blue island station all the time

well, i wasnt planning on humping any boxcars, but alright.

👍👍👍❤❤❤🚂🚂🚂

Are you allowed to just walk over the tracks? In uk, that's a no and track is fenced off to People

32°C/90F is the speed restriction trigger for freight trains on lighter lines here in Victoria, Australia. Across all of Australia, blanket speed restrictions apply from 36°C/96F

According to Thomas gets Bumped, absolutely.

I have been in Atlanta for 14 years and always wonder what this place was wow

Does anyone see 4822 at Inman at 1:43?

Well thank you. Now i know our outdated trucks in the tx panhandle needs to catch up with ga.

EXCELLENT VIDEO, THANKS FOR SHARING

Sitting in a hotel in Brunswick, watching this video! LoL...

: I love everything trains from model railroading to the big brothers on the rails. I enjoyed this video quite different and unique. All aboard, may the rails be with us. 🐢 🚂 🐢 😲 🐢 😀 🐢 🚂

I like horns and smoke shows on the rails

Is Flynn from Thomas And Friends one of these vehicles in this video?

Serious laziness.

Oh

During the people mover you forgot about the West Virginia PRT

Against the possibility that your viewer is outside the USA, when you give temperatures, you really should include the word "Fahrenheit." Railroads used to put expansion joints into the track, in the days before Continuous Welded Rail. Some of your images make that look like a good idea that shouldn't have been discontinued.

Yes heat can cause a train to derail. That's why railroads run heat inspections

what was that csx loco at the end …had a squared off looking can

The NS4822 unit is a thing of beauty. I saw it come through VA on its maiden voyage down to Atlanta.

Most people do not know what "Do not hump" means.

Great video. Thanks.

On CN the Fulton sub on the intermodal we see the track checker boxcar 2-3x a week once i started seeing them 3 months later took a ride on amtrak 58 the ride is noticeably smoother so they seem to work good Just need to catch a doodle bug

The heat wave was so much worse here in WV. We had heat index values between 100 and 105 and in PA they had 105-110.

Thank you for this information about what can happen to train tracks when the temperature gets hot in the summer months. Union Pacific had a derailment near Willow Road and Shermer Avenue in July 2012 due to a problem with the rails near the bridge over Shermer Avenue. Derailed loaded coal hoppers caused the bridge to collapse. An elderly couple was driving under the railroad bridge at the time of the bridge collapse and did not survive. The location of the bridge was on the former Chicago & North Western Railroad tracks. The loaded coal train was heading to an electric generating plant in Wisconsin. (2024-06-24 at 2332 CDT)

I didn’t even know such a machine existed but your great information and video makes me feel like an expert now! 😁 I’d like to have the dust mask concession for these guys! 🤪

Wooooaaaahhhhh in that temp. Literally it will fried egg and bacon well😅

Wow NS 4822 1:43

So if there is rail buckling due to heat, how do they fix them?

Since when are they repairing these locomotives

At 7:14, the 6216 has an engine room door swinging open and shut. Might be from a quick check of the water level in the radiator tank to be sure that the locomotive has plenty of water on such a hot day. Humans are not the only things that can overheat.

NS 1832 should be a heritage unit since it now the horseless unit

I live in New Jersey and NJ Transit, as well as Amtrak, have been having tons of problems with the overhead catenary wires due to the excessive heat over the past week. I got a wave and a horn show from a NJT Hi-Rail Ford F350 on Friday that was cruising by a departing train. Today I saw a set of Arrow IIIs back up into my local station after having a near miss with sagging wires.

Thanks for attending my meetup! Great video too!

Jokes on us - CSX has been doing these and won’t admit it. (If only, right?) 😂 Regardless it is a superb nod to fallen flags. Hope they are left alone.

The St. Louis Cardinals are Hosting the Hotlanta Braves in St. Louis today (Monday). In STL, 97 degrees on Monday and 99/100 degrees forecasted Tuesday.

Absolutely, YES! More Often then people realize. 🤔👍

The raw details of this or that is cool but where rail fans start saying the engine models I get a seriously creepy nerd vibe😂

Las vegas get up to 116 to 120

A bit of trivia: For humans, permanent tissue (skin) damage begins at about 125⁰f. Your milage may vary.

The answer is yes, ask me how i know?

I always say I learn something new every time I watch your videos. I never thought about how the hot weather effects the rails. Thank you for showing us! Stay cool!!!

I don't know what they do in the US, but in the UK where there are known heat issue areas they paint the rails white to try and keep them cooler.

Great information in this, definitely learned something new about heat/rail issues. Have a great evening 👍🏼😎🇺🇸

01:32 to 01:36 ....... is that a cactus starting to grow by the tracks ??

Not uncommon to see multiple mile long slow orders. Just a few weeks ago there was a 25mph for nearly 20 miles

1:40 MOVING THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD!!!! (Top left)

There’s a reason it’s called Hot-lanta.
