Action at Allentown: RC Yard Slugs, Hump Yard, CEFX, HLCX, and UP Power - October 10, 2011

[@ghostgarden8032]

Love watching the mother and daughter slug working in the yard, humping the train

[@chriswarner126]

Wonderful! I thought the hump was torn out years ago in Allentown.

[@Thunderbolt_1000_Siren]

It's apparently still there somewhat, just not in use

[@25mfd]

i wonder if PSR has closed this place

[@douglaskirk2543]

INTERESTING, have never seen a hump yard operate before. Am figuring out where to place hump yard on my layout. Thanks for the real action to go by.

[@25mfd]

cool that you are modeling a hump yard... but a word of operational warning... the laws of physics don't lend itself too well to model humpyard switching movements... your cars will roll so fast down the hump that you lose every element of realistic humping operations... flat switching would be a much better option... from a realism standpoint (hope your layout turns out how you want it to)

@CSX6000 Thanks Adam!

[@SCL7500]

Insane Action you caught Kevin. Keep up the good work

[@kevman4438]

Awesome video!

[@KyleVideoDesigns]

Awesome video Kevin! Has to be some of the coolest action I have ever seen! Great job man!

[@edhilferty9287]

When it was CNJ yard the record on West Hump was 875 cars over the hill in 8 hour shift. Lot of empties on west hump.

Railhead...... nice 🚂🚂

[@charlesstevenson5141]

Are SD's normal for humping and switching in the northeast? We don't have any hump yards but rather just shallow gravity yards and the only thing you ever see being used to switch with are 4 axle Geeps or SW's. Never seen it done with anything bigger.

@21stCenturyLtd No Problem, looking foward to railfanning with you again.

@TrainiacProductions Thanks Kyle!

[@21stCenturyLtd]

@SCL7500 Thanks man!

[@21stCenturyLtd]

@KyleVideoDesigns Thanks! I agree, it was an awesome day.

[@PennRailVideos]

Thais is awesome! Some of the most UNIQUE video I have ever seen! Really cool Kevin!

I always thought that it took positive air pressure to release the brakes on a train car, and that if the air pressure was taken away, the brakes would be ON, How can cars drift without air pressure???

[@thetrainguy1]

When they hump cars all the cars are bleed off..meaning all the air in the system is removed. Releasing the breaks.

[@albertcyphers1532]

You should ask the guy at the hump shack if there's some place you could film to see that board to see how he knows where to uncouple the cars. Just don't get in his way

[@gangesexcavating]

I bet you like to hang out at the hump shack.

[@21stCenturyLtd]

@ns3010 Thank you!

[@21stCenturyLtd]

Thanks man!

[@JohnnysTrainVideos]

Nice video...

[@TrainiacProductions]

Wow dude, you got some sweet variety! Absolutely kickass video. Loved the hump operation segment, and sweet catch on the UP ACe and ex UP SD60!

[@brendaneckhart9376]

What part of the yard is this?

[@duxberry1958]

nice video 21St
