5 Locomotives, 702 Axles & 2 Miles! Knocking Down The Signal On Trestle & Heritage Unit On Bridge

[@theplaneimage]

17:59 The loco was removed 27 June 2024 to Kentucky Steam Heritage. There is a news item online but YT didn't like me telling you the link and deleted my comment. There's a nice photo of the Loco being lifted from the site by mobile crane.

[@JawTooth]

Thanks for the information! Wow, I was there in Kenova in the summer shortly after it was moved. Somehow I keep missing these things. I need back in the loop. I need to get back down to Ravenna

[@dsmith9964]

​@JawTooth I haven't been to Ravenna for a few years myself...waiting for warmer weather.

[@JT-bird]

Thanks for the Kenova videos. Brings back a lot of memories from my childhood there, and the train station, located where you were shooting, that served N&W, C&O and end of the line B&O passengers back in the day. The little tank engine was outside the Kenova Historical Society Museum that was formerly located in that home, built by the Booth family, original owners of Dreamland. More info than you wanted, I'm sure. Keep up the professional video work you do.

[@dmorgan28]

Hey Jawtooth that was some great catches. Some really long trains. Cool video 👍❤️

[@glennjohnston3946]

I watch your videos each morning. I have been a railfan for over 80 years. I will be 91 on Feb 5. We old timers always called extra power as pushers and mid train helpers.

[@JawTooth]

Thanks for watching, I appreciate your support! I learn something new every day. Happy Birthday and thanks for watching my videos!

[@MarkHoezee]

Back in the day they were manned. Now done remotely in the lead engine. Some helpers are manned to help to push up mountains,then they are cut off after they get em over the mountain

[@beeble2003]

Happy birthday for the 5th!

[@ebf82234]

@glennjohnston3946 Added note...there was a time when "added power" as you put it was also referred to as "slave" units. Southern Pacific was notable for it on their "oil can" unit trains between L.A. and Bakersfield.

I haven't seen any in years. Just about all of the ties that they were put in have long been replaced. I left one in a tie on the Peavine Line years ago that I found but it has disappeared. I know of a railroad siding west of Columbus Ohio that had a bunch of them in it when I was last there about ten years ago. The only place to find them would be on a really old siding or an abandoned track.

As you walked to different photo spots that constant crunch on the snow plus the blowing wind were sure indications Winters in full swing. If the bridge inspector can be out JT will also be out there recording the action. A lot of air pressure is required to maintain safe braking on these long trains during cold weather so a special thanks to the Carmen and mechanics. Also some of these cars especially hauling spent distillers grain are harder to unload as the contents freeze on the walls. On some of those cylindrical covered hoppers about mid height you'll see a smudged line where the car shaker was attached to help vibrate the load. Once again that last shot with the new camera turned out very well in the Twilight. I think Norfie is befuddled with the competition.of a younger more mobile cat.

[@rthomashouse6140]

Hey JT, since that bridge runs pretty much north-south, you would have the sun at your back if you shot from the east side in the morning and from the west side in the afternoon.

That was a long, empty grainer. Fouled up the traffic somewhere. That shot standing on the bed of your pick up, was good when pointed towards the river zoomed in.

I told myself there probably would not be any DPUs on that long train because of the 5 up front. When I realized and you did too that the train was empty I was pretty much sure. To the train wizards out there, would they more likely to load up the head end with power on an empty train like this one? Would it be safer and/or more efficient to have some end pushing if that train was loaded?

[@sarahbrown9293]

Dear Mr. Jawtooth, perhaps I just don't understand, but I believe that a 2 mile long train should have someone on the end to contact the engineer in case of a mid train problem (i.e. derailment, car on fire, etc)... I'm talking about a mandatory caboose & human observer for trains longer than 100 cars!

[@beeble2003]

If anything derails, the train will separate and the head-end crew will know about it because the emergency brakes will apply automatically. I don't think I've ever heard of a car catching fire outside of a derailment, so why would you need to look out for that?

[@georgelugenalt200]

I counted 168, not sure if I got it right but almost that many flat spots lol. I wonder how much flat spots affect rolling resistance and therefore fuel efficiency. Also with 5 locos you know they are expecting a heavy load to go somewhere. Finally, I wonder if they will switch to DPU configuration once they get loaded, and what the pounding on the rails will be of all those cars once they weight 4 or 5 times full what they do empty. Thanks for the video!

[@beeble2003]

Yes, 168. 702 axles minus 30 for five six-axle locomotives is 672. 672/4=168.
