Conductor Riding End Of Tropicana Boxcar! What Happens Next? 2 More Trains Following Back 2 Back!!

[@jasonasselin]

It was a FUN trip for sure.. Just got home, have that rental one more day so I'm going up to Lake Superior tonight! Thanks for the awesome adventures!!

[@mikeingeorgia1]

That NS train had some of everything on it. Having a bunch of non-cushioned cars behind a long block of auto racks always makes for a fun time lol.

[@SarahsAtticOfTreasures]

Thanks Brian. Have a great weekend.

[@magmajctaz1405]

Once witnessed a local shove several cars down a branch line uncoupled with a brakeman on point. The engines came to a stop allowing the cars to roll down the line. The engine crew threw the switch and the engines raced past the coasting cars on the siding. Once ahead, that switch was thrown, and the brakeman riding the lead hopper reached down to bleed the air from the brake line to stop the cars. Fascinating!

[@rearspeaker6364]

that's a "flying switch".

[@train1962]

Looks like everyone is having a good time.Friendly Conductor on the CSX train. Thanks Brian.

[@smeyer418]

In telecommunications networks, the demarcation point (often abbreviated to DEMARC and otherwise known as boundary point or network boundary point) is the physical point at which the public switched telephone network ends and the private network of the customer begins.

[@bigdtravels9938]

JT the data going to and from the Demarc could be telemetry or as simple as a phone line. Depends on what that box next to is for.

[@kb1kos]

Makes sense to me. Thanks!

Wires appear cut near the top @ 2:36 on the big shanty.

Absolutely correct. Former VZ employee here.

[@Sicorius]

Telco-Demarc would be Telephone company line of demarcation. Where the phone company brings in lines for the end user. Like the phone company box on the side of your house.

[@Sicorius]

Also, as usual awesome video. Keep it up, please.

[@JRNipper]

That's exactly right...RE both comments. Where I work we have Telco, cable TV and fiber demarcations in many locations all over town, some are in boxes similar to the one in the video. It's where the line of responsibility is drawn.

They're just a different design of auto-rack.

I believe so, Auto-Max racks.They have articulated trucks. They share one set.

[@thomasmackowiak]

These were great catches! That was interesting watching the CSX train backing through the railroad crossing from the Tropicana plant. The two trains coming out of Queensgate Yard were added bonuses. Thank you for sharing this video with us!

[@horror-metal-mike4320]

Nice catch of a CSX train with nicely painted CSX EMD. The NORFOLK SOUTHERN mixed freight was very awesome to Jaw Tooth! I liked the auto rack cars, a lot of vehicles on there!

Great video! Hope your surgery went well and I hope you recover quickly. Thank you for all you do. ❤️

[@beeble2003]

1:14 That man isn't the conductor. He's the engineer. He doesn't need a locomotive, because he is capable of moving the train using just the power of his mind. That's my theory, anyway.

[@Hauketal]

Lol. I'm in Germany and trains run without conductor, engineer only. When shunting freight backwards, the engineer stands on the first car like in this video, but controls the locomotive by radio. There is a tilt sensor in the control unit, so whenever the engineer should become incapacitated, emergency brake is applied.

[@SD40Fan_Jason]

Radio Controlled Operator, RCO. He didn't have the chestpack or he could have been doing that, not with the power of his mind but the power of his equipment. Typically RCOs can only operate in a yard or service facility that's fenced off and attempts to prohibit people from walking out in front of the engines. But the yellow beacons on the locomotive indicate the unit is equipped with RCO controls.

[@Josh-nv6bz]

@@SD40Fan_Jason And Flashing means that the Loco is Under RCO IIRC?

[@SD40Fan_Jason]

@@Josh-nv6bz Not necessarily, but the RCO controls are supposed to activate them. On my locomotives I have a switch that just says "warning lights" or something to that effect, and I can turn them on manually. In every case the RCO system has been used it's also activated them but I've heard that there are some that didn't work. Maybe it was broken or maybe they were running stealth mode, who knows...

[@thewi2kbug]

UPRR has remote controled locomotives. Bet CSX also has them.

[@ssttuuhhll]

Great video, as usual. 👍 I’m in Australia and model Australian and American trains in HO. It’s so cool seeing the articulated auto cars and the 53’ container cars in action! I’m watching the cars go by and saying to myself, “Oh, I’ve got that one and that one too.” Thanks

[@carmel6471]

A Demarcation point or jumping off point for voice and data before it is unscrambled for a computerized system. The box contains pairs of telecommunication lines. A pair consist of a Transmit and a Receive. Analog takes one or two pair, digital takes two or more pairs. I was actually a lead person who was hands-on responsible for digitizing the entire CSX network from a paper system to a database containing every telecommunications line on their system. It was Very gratifying knowing I was working to drag the RR into the 21st century! 😂 Every time I see a box when I travel on my home road I think about how at some point I knew exactly what was in that box! I really miss my buddies in The Telecommunications Engineering Group.

[@josephtatham800]

Paint goes for 15 and 17 dollars a quart now. How much money in in their pockets? You have to wonder!

[@mikesowizral1738]

Most graffiti vandals steal their paint; it is called “racking.” Rust oleum is one of the most common graffiti paints-it is about $6-$7 a can, which holds about a pint. Krylon might run you $3-$4 a can, but it is not as long-lasting as Rustoleum. A few graffiti vandals do get specialized spray paint designed by graffiti vandals and for graffiti.

those are the dynamic braking grids-see it on the VRF Phoenix Railcam when the locos are coming from the right side of the screen to the left side, at night.

[@Panzermeister36]

Thank you for the great content!

[@debbiebradney131]

The box you asked about, might be for the emergency use, like if the signals fail, the rail staff can operate the crossing manually, or when they are doing maintenance work, I've seen it used for those purposes here in Australia, I used to live opposite a main rail line, and when there were accidents, or maintenance work, they would connect with the station up or down the line, to know when a train was coming, or in the event the signals were out of action, they used men to stop the traffic at the crossing. The phone connects to emergency services as well as rail authority.

3:33 "You don't see that everyday!" Well actually Jaw Tooth, on my little Railroad in Atlanta, we do! We pull from the yard to the river and once we cross the switch, it's 7 miles of shoving to get to the South end, always with reefer cars full of Frozen potatoes. It's usually worth the extra switch to get an A-end on the bottom so you can ride like this conductor was riding. Otherwise 7 miles at

That box "TELCO DEMARC" is an interface between that sat dish on the top and the railroad control Cresentville Road next, kind of like the modem your internet provider installs in your house to run your computer, phone etc.. Fiber is too expensive or just available in some settings and the old copper doesn't cut it to control everything from signals and switches to radio repeaters and security cameras. Many "outposts" have solar power with battery backup. CSX partners with Verizon mainly in Verizon operational area and others like Hughes. Many roads share this resource like regional commuter rail and Amtrak.

That's Telephone Co. demark point, then it goes into the shed.

[@todw5508]

3:54: Telco Demarc is a Telephone Company Demarcation unit where wires from the local exchange are tied into those of a different telco.

[@brucescott240]

“Telco Demarc” is the local telephone providers’ service demarcation point in side the cabinet. That is the service point where the “telco’s” network ends and its services are delivered to the subscriber (the railroad). Looks like a purdy fancy cabinet so I suspect it’s fiber optic demarc (pronounced “D” mark) but could be a four wire high capacity digital circuit on twisted pair copper phone cable or even 48 VDC POTs line (plain old telephone service).

[@carmel6471]

It started out POTS with only the busiest yards like Camden having half-dup. PTT capabilities if you can believe that but once train controls were introduced and implemented systemwide, and having to integrate with other systems(FEC, METRA, Etc.) I think almost all, if not all is likely now fiber optic.

[@brucescott240]

@@carmel6471 POTs makes lots of sense as there may well be a landline in one of the signaling cabinets. We could guess better if we could see what kind of plant is adjacent to the crossing. F/O could well be present if the signaling system / network interfaces with the providers switched ethernet here.

[@glennhilliker5466]

Telco Demarc box The demarcation point varies from building type and service level. In its simplest form, the demarcation point is a junction block where telephone extensions join to connect to the network. This junction block usually includes a lightning arrester (which requires a wire to ground). In multi-line installations such as businesses or apartment buildings, the demarcation point may be a punch down block. In most places this hardware existed before deregulation.

The platforms are there for refueling/maintaining the reefers. The luck comes in that the car at the very end was facing the right way, on the other reefer cards the platforms were facing the engine/front of the train.
