CN Freight Train 2

At the request of several people, I went back to the Honey Creek Road railroad crossing for a follow up video. CN 2522 and CN 5635 pull a northbound mixed freight up Canadian National's Waukesha Subdivision, past the new crossing signals. The 78.7 defect detector also gives another read-out, but identifies itself as CN instead of Wisconsin Central. This was filmed north of Honey Creek, Wisconsin.

One of the oldest and best train videos I watched

[@user-kx1ck2kp7j]

Warcrazyness the first version of this is the oldest not this vid

[@AndrewTrainFilmsProductions]

Oh Yes, The good old memories I watch this since I was a kid

[@paelgin]

At least the crossing gate and lights stayed down/on until the train was past now.

[@11LK]

Still watching this from time to time. Sits in my favorite videos. Thx.

[@aycsmom]

Believe it or not, in the middle of the night, here I am searching for good train videos so I can show them to my son tomorrow... my 1.5 years old son!!! :D

[@bmenzul]

My 2 1/2 year old daughter loves these videos.

Back when I watched Thomas and friends alot I would watch this video alot. Thomas and friends got me into real trains.

[@sjtom57]

Used a tripod, no senseless zooming, filmed the entire train. Everything is perfect. Why so many dislikes? New subscriber here.

[@justanaveragedork]

If nostalgia had a location, this is it.

[@DougCeleste]

I agree! It is my most favorite location where Brenton has filmed his train videos and I have told him that. Sure wish I lived in Wisconsin since I would be going there often to see trains. 😎

[@Brenton81]

Basically, yeah. It checks each car for overheated wheel bearings, sticking brakes, dragging equipment, excessive dimensions, etc. If there were any problems, it would give a count of how many defects there are and their location in the train based on the axel number from the front.

[@NorthernAlbertaRailfanner]

Sweet Catch! CN 2522 C44-9WL CN 5635 SD75i

[@NorthernAlbertaRailfanner]

hold up, i saw both of these units within the past 4 months, looks like my childhood was brought to me irl!

[@Buckskin1290]

@@NorthernAlbertaRailfannerI agree with you buddy!

[@Brenton81]

@Berqy123 A detector is a device that automatically checks the train for defects like hotboxes, sticking brakes, dragging equipment, etc. as it passes. A status message is then broadcast from it on the railroad's radio frequency once the train finishes going by. If there were any defects, it would specify what the defect is and give a location (axle number) on the train. The train would then stop and the problem would be checked out and corrected. 78.7 is a milepost number.

[@KFMStudios]

I turned this on for my baby brother who LOVES trains, and he loves this video! Just out of curiosity though, why does this have over 1 million views?

[@Brenton81]

Woah! I hadn't heard anything about that. I know there's one or two crossings with the little lane seperation barriers on each side so people can't swerve through the lowered gates, but I wasn't aware it was a quiet zone.

[@csxketh1]

I saw the four windowed cab and thought it was. Now when I think about it, CN bought some too. Thanks for the info!

[@dragonBOps]

my little brother loved this train

[@Brenton81]

These signals actually do have LEDs, but they're a different type than the other ones. These are ball LEDs. They're pretty intense when you're looking at them straight on, not so much from an angle though.

[@Robotman2268]

pretty long train again. good to see they put gates up!

[@WideWorldofTrains]

Nice vid, I get CN and CP trains here in NY a couple times a week

[@juliangarcia1221]

Wide world trains how are you doing I never would have expected to find you here

[@frudlemax]

Thank you! I'm writing a novel, and one of my characters gets hit by a train (brutal. I know). My only difficulty was how fast the train would be going, and how much dialogue I could get through from hearing the train to impact. This video has definitely helped, especially with the angle. So thanks!

[@DC-gw3cl]

0:26 The first train horn I've ever heard

[@Brenton81]

@seahawks847 Thank you@ The first one was taken in March 2007 and this one was taken in July 2009. They were in the process of installing the gates back in 2007, so these gates have been there for a little while now.

[@Brenton81]

It's the message automatically broadcast from the defect detector. You can pick them up on a scanner that's tuned to the railroad's frequency.

[@trainzandbridgez101]

No problem, and yup! CN only has about 15 Dash 8s. They're pretty rare!

[@Brenton81]

I use a Mini DV Panasonic PV-GS65. I transfer the videos from it using the SVHS port for a nicer picture. KZbin tends to make the videos a little darker than they really are.

[@TheBlackShadow1932]

I remember seeing this too when I was 5 years old

[@zombiewraps]

I work weekly with trains (at least once or twice a week) the yellow cars with the gray siding are used to transport cars, usually 2 or 3 levels of them too, if all of those were full of vehicles... well that is just a lot of vehicles.

[@WorldCoffeeGuy]

The alternating red lights have been fixed to so that both the near and the far signal flash together instead of opposite.

[@liberfrog27]

really enjoying these train videos! dont know why but im getting a fascination with trains lately

[@meadam04]

Yeah nice video ... I am from Canada and the CN main line runs right behind my house .. 2 crossings with gates and bells with in 3 minutes drive away !

[@mutanay77]

sweet this crossing gets gates now, nice video

[@angelmalarkey7946]

I love trains

[@slipperyelmful]

great low & close perspective in order to see the length of this passing beauty

[@lordbemylight]

Not very many places to hear the horn anymore, since Mukwonago and beyond, Burlington, and all of NE IL are quiet zones for CN.

[@AlanTheRailfannerAndGamer]

My nostalgia

[@rock3tcatU233]

Your videos are very simple, but yet amazingly entertaining. :D

[@Brenton81]

@Saemar900 Detectors are installed by the railroad in different locations, trackside. You need a scanner to be able to hear them after a train passes.

[@Brenton81]

@childofgod140 They're most commonly refered to as a "police scanner". There are all kinds of different brands. You can find them at Radio Shack, Best Buy, etc. or order one online. You program the railroad's radio frequencies into them and you can hear the radio conversations.

[@fr8ARTruleZ]

This is an excellent spot to railfan. You should film here more often, everyone seems to like this spot!

[@bmet47]

The Bing Map Birds Eye view still has this crossing as gateless!

[@Brenton81]

You're lucky. I have the Union Pacific Chicago-Milwaukee main a mile away from me but I can't see the trains from my house, I can only hear them. When CN bought Wisconsin Central, the tracks in this video went from about six trains a day to well over 20.

[@SouthernRailfan]

Excellent video.

[@iggyjill]

CN has 55 straight dash 8s 12 former LMSX and 26 former BCR's

[@Brenton81]

@childofgod140 You can use a scanner to listen for trains, check the signals to see if something is coming, look down the tracks for a headlight.... lots of ways.

[@koryyyy]

In this we can see 2 locomotives. I think that this train takes about 300 meters to brakes to 0

[@GeorgiaStateRailfan]

When was it that CN changed the detector to announce CN instead of Wisconsin Central?

[@johnwood57]

Wow! that one is better than the first one, keep them coming..John.

[@cibaca1]

the train is so long that it only needs to go one mile to get to the next city.

[@AccountingFan2008]

Like it was yesterday I remember both the Original & follow up video

[@no4472]

Great vid! You guys know how to run freights over there!

[@RMSTitanicWSL]

I'm happy watching your videos...... keep posting. This train was really interesting for the stack cars--I don't usually see them with any containers in them at all when tacked on the rear of a mixed freight like that.

[@nickthetrainman]

Good Video.🚂

[@TransportLondonPhoto]

This is a really interesting high quality video, well done!

I see that! As of right now, the original video has 642,431 views. It was one of the first train vids I shot. This one is at 2, 564 view after only three days.

[@martistytas1674]

This is my second favorite video after CN Freight Train 1. I also love that horn. Sounds very beautiful and dramatic. What type of horn is that?

[@Brenton81]

Both signals with the gate mechs were up, the arms and lights hadn't been installed yet. so they weren't in service. I was standing almost directly next to the new signal in the first video. If you look in the upper right side of the screen, you can see a small part of the gate mech in the frame. In this video I was standing further back from the crossing.

[@cjjones3220]

Only one boxcar on this train!

[@CitytransportInfoplus]

I watched both this film and the first film from the same location... I noticed how in the other film the red flashing lights switch off just as the back of the train is passing whilst in this newer film the crossing has automatic half barriers which wait until the train has fully passed the crossing, plus a little longer, before raising and the lights stop flashing.

[@Brenton81]

Thanks, I appreciate it!

[@TheSantafe26]

Great video & new gates , signals working good also thx.

[@DougCeleste]

One of my FAVORITE locations in your videos and thanks again for making this VERY interesting video almost 8 years ago. I wonder what part of Wisconsin Honey Creek Road is located in and it is a LOVELY place to watch trains. I would love to see it in person someday (but NOT in the winter time, of course, for obvious reasons).

[@Brenton81]

This spot is in Southeastern Wisconsin, right off Highway 20, between Waterford and East Troy. The actual town of Honey Creek is just a little ways south of the crossing. (Heading down the road in the direction the camera is facing.)

[@DougCeleste]

Thanks for the reply and where this LOVELY crossing is at. My friend grew up in Whitewater which is 26 miles northwest of Honey Creek. And before you replied, I went online and found a Honey Creek Rd. in the Oshkosh area but obviously, it was not the same road as this road.

[@Brenton81]

It looks like they're using ball type on new installs. I've even seen a Safetran T3, so there will probably be more of those popping up as well.

[@TheBCRailfan]

They’re now using GE Uniform Look LEDs as their lights.

[@trainzandbridgez101]

No, it isn't. I didn't see a BCOL mark on the side, and I did some research, and found out that it's just a regular C44-8W (Dash 8).

[@Kingof666]

Seriously? A million people sat down to watch a train pass by? That's just... Wait a second... How did I get here?

[@MetraTitanicWTC]

BusDriverJoe are u a hater?????

[@lordbemylight]

Did you know Mukwonago is now a quiet zone??? I didn't see this coming.

[@DoubleGG5666]

There's about 116 cars, it reminds me of Star Guitar (from outside perspective).

[@stampycatfan01lol]

CN 2522...this sounds familiar....OMG! CN 2522 is on my TS2010 copy! I downloaded it, BTW.

[@Brenton81]

I always find it amusing that trolls make fun of other people's interests yet are completely oblivious to the fact they're more pathetic than anyone, spending their free time trolling videos. All you have to do is go on A-Ten Pilot's page and look at the one video he uploaded. It'll give you a pretty good idea of his mentality. His random capitalization of words in his attempted insult also lead me to believe he has a hard time grasping very basic skills, like elementary school punctuation.

[@unionpacifictrain]

just like i said that crossing has gates now

[@armandovazquez5731]

Does anyone know what's the type of horn from this locomotive?

[@BurlingtonNorthernModeler]

Neat video! Great location!

[@Brenton81]

@sillydylan2010 Yeah, it's the same crossing. They did install new gates. I also set the camera back a little further than in the first video.

[@CanadianWorkDivers]

The closest I came to death was when I was 17 yrs old and my friends and I tried to outrun this train in the Windsor/Detroit underground tunnels. We hopped on to the locomotive, on to the front railing, and the engine was rocking back and fourth so bad that it threw my friend off onto the culvert, and I scraped the back of my leather jacket onto the cement wall of the tunnel; that's how close it was. The worst part was ending up in serious Detroit gang land when we eventually jumped off.. lol

[@hermesmartinez3809]

the railroad crossing bells they sound like canada

[@allisonhartraft739]

Awesome videos!

[@Ih8kone]

I hope the old signals from 2007 were preserved in a museum.

[@Brenton81]

They were just plain old flashing lights, like tons of others they replaced along this line. I'm sure they ended up in the scrap pile.

[@Ih8kone]

@@Brenton81 Aww that's too bad. Do know of any railroad museums with wig wag signals?

@TYLERMIDDLEBROOKS96 They took down the old signals from the first video and installed new ones with gates in the time between when these videos were shot.
