Coming and Going at the CSX Queensgate & Norfolk Southern Gest Street Yards (Sped-Up Version)

This is a video I shot over two days at the yards.
I was hoping to catch a few trains doubling out and leaving the yards but it was not meant to be.
I did see a newly rebuilt Amtrak yard locomotive.
We also catch plenty of yard movements.
There is also a sped up version you can check out.
I hope you enjoy and as always, let me know what you think.

Awesome videos, the clarity and the views are excellent 👌👍 thanks and I will make sure to watch all of your videos... Thank you

[@nkyrailfan]

Thank you very much. I'm very glad to hear you enjoyed the video.

[@chipsrafferty8362]

Fascinating,the most interesting series by far.The sped up action beats the mindless roll by action and the radio chatter is the cherry on top.

[@SD45-ET44AC]

Confusing at first, at least until you start understanding who is who and who’s on second but who is on first. Thanks for sharing, I have enjoyed the multi-multitasking 👍👍🏻👍🏼👍🏽👍🏾👍🏿

[@larrymcever4601]

I love watching yard and switching work. I understand that the initial sort from the hump could be rough and additional sort will be needed to make up a train. It would be nice to see the final makeup of a train on the outlet end of the start to finish.

[@tomrockwell6630]

I like the accelerated video - I get to see everything and it doesn’t take as much time to watch. Thanks.

[@nkyrailfan]

Glad to hear you enjoyed it, Tom.

Excellent Drone Coverage. Really Enjoy the Radio Chatter. Sped-Up Version keeps things Moving along Nicely. Appreciate your Strong 💪 Efforts. Thanks! 👍🙏

[@5elementcraft123]

I love watching the yards! There are so many different things going on at the same time. Organized chaos.

[@nkyrailfan]

I agree 💯 It is incredible how many movements are going on at once and even more incredible how they keep track of it all

[@kempmt1]

I love watching trains go by and I actually lived behind a train yard, but never saw how a train yard would work. It amazes me how some of those car’s rolling through the yard without a locomotive helping it

[@AlexNunes-z6v]

Really neat yard with the overpasses going over the yard 🚂 love that like KCS🥰 yard in Kc.

[@KTHKUHNKK]

Truly another awesome video by you. Keith

[@lnrailroad3215]

Wonderful video!

[@nkyrailfan]

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[@lnrailroad3215]

I think this may be the best yet!!

[@toddnance454]

Watching videos on a 4K TV really makes the drone footage pop

[@nkyrailfan]

I'm hopeful to start putting out 4K versions of the videos, so you'll be able to really enjoy them and all the details.

[@KTHKUHNKK]

It truly is awesome to see the footage when you get back home especially on a big screen. Keith

[@maingear7452]

Highly recommend the Station Square Sheraton in Pittsburgh. I would stay on the 10th floor facing east, then the concierge lounge faces west. Nonstop NS & CSX.

[@nkyrailfan]

Thanks for the great info. I'll definitely try and check out the area.

[@sklsout]

Awesome 👍👍

[@mr.j2776]

OMG -a lot of good stuff happening here!

[@cprtrain]

Terrific video.

[@EntertainmentWorldz]

great video bro

[@brandonreeves5979]

Awesome footage!!! Love the commentary. 😉👍🏻🎥💯

[@nkyrailfan]

Thanks, Brandon. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

[@brandonreeves5979]

@@nkyrailfan yes sir! You are welcome.

[@wdstauter8429]

We were there last week. Stopped at NS on Gest and took picture of the old display caboose by yard master tower. Then sat by the fence off Mill Creek by CSX. Lots of fun. Drone shows what you get see on the ground level

[@chrisretusn]

Found you channel a few days ago. Love it!

[@nkyrailfan]

Thanks, Chris. I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the videos.

[@terryjennings2791]

Great video. Really like the yard action and the fast speed. Excellent work again

[@nkyrailfan]

Hey Terry, glad you enjoyed it. There certainly is a lot to enjoy (and keep track of) in a yard.

[@donschonberg7906]

Thanks for the video, it was well worth the watch. For many years I drove over this yard twice a day and never had a chance to see what really goes on. Always amazed how yards this size function. As far as volume of traffic do you know where Queensgate rates compared to other yards?

[@nkyrailfan]

Hey Don, I'm really happy to hear you enjoyed the video. According to this, CSX says Queensgate is its sixth busiest yard: www.csx.com/index.cfm/about-us/company-overview/network-and-operations/ Here is a previous video I did in which I talk about its history. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3urfohtjcymsJI

[@batchit]

It is just mind boggling how much freight gets sent across the US, from me Down Under.

[@nkyrailfan]

Greetings from the United States.

[@kalpeshwani8520]

Next video complex operating procedures....... this one has simple sorting on different tracks... what about too and fro rearrangements of many into other many in order.

[@nkyrailfan]

I'll try and make a video on the more complex operations.

[@Lakeside1943]

Great video! The switching moves are a bit weird at this speed .

[@nkyrailfan]

Glad to hear you enjoyed it. It does a bit of getting used to watching everything sped up.

[@worrallswoodcrafts4366]

You should visit Enola Yard outside Harrisburg PA.

[@nkyrailfan]

Thanks for the suggestion. I actually have a PA Railfan trip planned. I'm going to start at Conway Yard, head to Horseshoe Curve. Then on to Altoona and then Enola. I'm hoping to make the trip this spring.

[@bootsdocsandconspiracies6589]

How about going to the Reading & Northern?

[@nkyrailfan]

I'll see what I can do.

[@scorpiogeyser5211]

New subscriber here! I live in Wilmington De, please do a Video of the Site when you a chance. I also just received an offer as a Freight Conductor. Safe travels 😎

[@nkyrailfan]

Congratulations on the offer to be a freight conductor. That's awesome! Thanks for subscribing. I am planning on checking out the Amtrak facility in Wilmington. I'm just not sure when. Let me know if there's anything else nearby I should see.

[@scorpiogeyser5211]

@@nkyrailfan Thankyou! I appreciate the content you give us to enjoy. I'll be sure to let you know, keep you updated. I know there's a CSX yard just a few miles south of Amtrak. I missed an opportunity as a track worker there, but I can say I'm more excited about becoming a Conductor.

[@supercuda1950]

It sure would be nice if CSX would make a space on top of the tower where we could railfan from, but then I guess I'll have to quit smokin' my medical maijuana while watching these excellent videos. Just a thought.

[@tylerrose5232]

What? 😂😂😂 that’s stupid. Must be the marijuana talking

[@Crafts_1472]

Would to see the separated and sorted in normal speed instead of speeded up.

[@nkyrailfan]

You're in luck, I also posted the normal-speed version as well. Here ya go: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rX_aeXigiJuji80
