CSX Street Running! Trains Running Down The Middle Of The Street! Live Action!

Trains in the street, Trams in the street are always fun to watch. This CSX streetrunner video was made in LaGrange Kentucky on the Louisville And Nashville Railway L&N LCL sub. Filmed Tuesday, January 17, 2017. I was there from 11:30am to 6pm and saw 4 trains. The last train with the Spirit of Maryland engine took the siding and was unable to load so the dispatcher took down the signal for them and called maintenance. This town is a no train horn town.

I can just imagine what it feels like to be relaxing in your home and a train comes by. I would love it. Excellent video Brian.

[@victoraguilarl3605]

iusetano cool csxt trains

[@shariys1]

iusetano - my mother's old apartment was like that. Right behind her garage was a track, although it didn't run down the middle of the street. Now we're in Florida. CSX main line barely half a mile away. Horns 24/7. I love hearing those horns!

[@brandonsturm1954]

i love it great video hope you could see spring city in Tennessee

[@JawTooth]

I have lived next to railroad tracks in several different homes. I always enjoyed watching the trains go by and listening to them. One CSX line that I use to watch from my bedroom window in Morehead Ky in now gone. Thanks for watching!

[@victoraguilarl3605]

Good morning my friend Brian

[@Cromper]

"NO BICYCLES OR SKATEBOARDS ON SIDEWALK" But trains are ok.

[@potatohead1423]

I wonder how many skateboarders hold the back of the train.

[@mytfy1]

I worked for the RR for 32 yrs mostly as a track inspector, and never grew tired of the sound of trains. Great video, right down the center of town lol.

[@biponacci]

fermin benedetti I'll never get tired either. Well, I dislike the new electric commuters being put into service In Auckland. I miss the diesels...

[@246spyder]

LOL, I miss the steam, the chuffing, the whistles, the clickity-clack. But most of all, I Miss the faraway sound of the lonely whistle of the distant night runners and always wondering what wonderful and strange places they were going. Those sounds will be with me forever. Always put me to sleep. Oh, by the way, thanks.

[@biponacci]

The thunder of an oncoming locomotive always makes me smile. I don't know why but in every aspect I prefer a combustion engine to any other form of propulsion. I prefer props over jets, I prefer diesel over electric and steam, and I prefer conventional engines in cars.

[@darcmadr6500]

Holy crap! This goes directly into my "What the hell were they thinking?" files. Could only be more surprised by a train running down the center aisle of a Wal-Mart.

[@TRSPomerania]

That is quite a sight to see; what looks like a tram rails is actually the real railway, just meters off the shops and windows. By the way, I wouldn't like to be in hurry in the morning and waiting for such a long train to pass, while being late for work in my parked car beside the tracks... awesome video though, cheers from Poland!

[@HighRail62]

I live in Bedford Indiana,we to have tracks down through the center of town. Rail service stopped running through here about 10 yrs. ago and all that is left are the tracks but I would sit and watch them roll by and love every moment. The L&N,Monon and Milwaukee RR were the dominate users of the rail back then. Thanks for sharing!

[@lazoputz3514]

I can't think of anywhere I would rather live than a town with road trains like this.

[@BaltimoreAndOhioRR]

I always think it's so neat to see street running! Baltimore city had tracks in the streets everywhere back in the day (before my time). Most have been taken up or paved over, but there's a few places where you can still see the tracks & cobblestone. Of course they're no longer used.

[@ErnestKwokguitarist]

Wow! First time I'm seeing a train running through the center of a street..looks pretty close to the parked vehicles...thanks for sharing 😊

[@mark-1rc502]

Wonderful ! I'd just love that rumbling past with the ringing bell in the early hours of the morning .

[@johnbernardini5444]

Kinda Weird having freight trains run through towns and cities like that but must be fun for some people who likes to watch trains go by.

[@LEONIDA1899]

I love LaGrange and its trains!

[@gulzarsingh4342]

I'm from India and I really liked this video..It's nice to have a train deliver the goods upto the drop point rather than have the goods being delivered from some distant train yard..this seems to save time and be more economical!

[@T120RT]

India has quite a rail network as well. The trains are crammed with people. BTW, I like your Royal Enfield.

[@Stussmeister]

A very nicely-done video. One item of note is that trains, due to their massive size, appear to be traveling much slower than they actually are, which means a freight train that seems to be lumbering down the line may in fact be going 25-30 mph.

[@aidachaglla6948]

Stussmeister pnikkikdqwpppqqlq. Bendito immjkS Por a rimportaciones

[@eriktred]

This is incredibly relaxing. And we got a bonus train.

[@aloiziobarros1]

Congratulations on the beautiful video that shows the perfect harmony between a railroad and a city.

[@12121149]

Love this,was visiting Plant City Florida,when a train came down the center of town.It was so cool.no problems ,and the locals did not even,give it a thought.

[@MrPeerum]

Zo Brian het was weer formidabel mooi gefilmd , hartelijk bedankt weer van deze kant en ook de groetjes van Tony aan jou hele familie. greetz :Peerke.

[@wsor95]

Frickin awesome! I could watch this all day lol

[@kevinmagee8955]

I've never seen a train track in the middle of the street... That's so cool but then it's amazing that nobody has gotten killed by these trains

[@paulrizzuto9306]

Thanks for this look into train transport in Kentucky. God bless America.

[@JawTooth]

Thank you for watching one of my videos! I really appreciate it!! God Bless America!!

[@Rach113]

Hey great videos 👍🏼 I got a bit of ASMR effect with the sound of the trains 🚂 very relaxing.

[@JawTooth]

Thank you very much! Watching trains and listening to them has always helped to relax me. I might have been practicing ASMR for years without knowing it! Thank you for visiting my channel and I really appreciate your comments!

[@Rach113]

Jaw Tooth You're welcome! Yes! unintentional ASMR :)

[@Spontainousteve]

Rach113 d'awww you guyssss. Now kiss.

[@telsport]

what is amsr?

[@Alrucards]

Tom Loughlin Jr. Type that in youtube search. People will explain it better.

[@philliplee980]

cool. this was on my Birthday. awesome video. sweet CSX & BNSF nice. awesome catches.

[@guitargatekeeper]

You have supportive fans,(including me) and it is awesome!

[@JawTooth]

Thank you very much!

[@AbhinavLHB]

OMG ! What a sight ! Trains on road !!! Great video !

[@videophotography2794]

Wow this was so amazing to see Jaw Tooth! I love the view of it running down the middle of the street it's such a lovely scene!! Thanks for sharing Jaw Tooth! :) :)

[@trainroomgary]

Hello Jaw Tooth - from Michigan. 🚂 Cool main street action.

[@elinars5638]

I think the town is there because of the railroad. So it's the type of town that makes this so special.

[@kurtschlieter7506]

We used to have street running on the Soo Line here in Oshkosh WI. CN bought the Soo and C&NW, moved traffic onto the C&NW trackage, and abandoned the old Soo street line about 1993.

[@batmandalorian5504]

Kickass. I really liked those metal etchings too.

[@patrickbrown5078]

I'm sure the tracks were there first, and it being Kentucky, this track was laid on the best grade they had through the mountains .

[@jenniferAdamek]

Beautiful little town, AWESOME Trains!! Reminds me of Hudson NY...

[@hoosiernick]

Fond memories of watching trains through the front window of Kaelin's Trackside Restaurant and snacking from the farmer's market on the courthouse lawn. a hotbed of auto rack traffic with big factories on each end of the line.

[@JawTooth]

We have visited all the restaurants on the strip. One of my favorite ones closed last year though. The farmers market and the automobile displays are always a great way to spend the day. Great town for visitors and all the shops are run by very nice people. Thanks for watching!

[@canadianplanespotter]

The first train was carrying nothing but cars, and the second looked like minerals. That's a dangerous-ass road right there!

[@JawTooth]

I have seen a few close calls where people will try to back out into the middle of the street when a train is coming. In one of my videos the train sounded the horn for a car that backed in front of them and scared the driver. I think the second train was carrying grain if I remember correctly. Thanks for watching!

[@Arklay_Ishimura]

Interesting insight, Jaw Tooth!

[@ferky123]

Jaw Tooth today's trains are relatively silent unless they're pouring on the power and cars are being insulated for sound dampening in the cabin. I think that it should be the law that a train has to have on its bell if it's street running.

[@klc-marinrailfan6754]

Nice trains :D they are simmilar to our trains :D greetings from snowy Croatia!

[@JawTooth]

Thanks and greetings from USA!

[@billlynch2274]

Many thanks for your videos, Brian. I surely enjoy watching...only thing I miss is the smells they produce in passing...LOL

[@train1962]

Cool video.I need to see that place. If I remember correctly back when I was a kid the trains would run up the middle of a street in Newport Ky. after crossing the bridge over the Ohio river from Cincinnati.I believe that bridge is now nicknamed the purple people bridge. Thanks for posting.

[@alyeskaddict]

Man that first train was SILENT! So crazy!!!

[@celestinogomez6835]

Reminds me of Dover New Jersey,only we had two tracks and trains were only one mile long.(1947).

[@bjay1956]

Excellent video, enjoying this, thanks for the share, all the best, John

[@RailwayWorld]

Great shot - would love to visit someday, just get me a comfy chair, a beer, and I'm set !

[@bobberry6028]

It is great to still see the SD-40 GM's pulling the load, that is one of my favorite engines.

[@williamh.jarvis6795]

I remember back when I filmed the W. 19th Street trackage in Erie, PA, now gone. I went there with my 1978 Datsun B210. I also went as far west as Conneaut, OH.

[@FirebrewTV]

Shelby NC had a version of this running through its Uptown. It's a now abandoned Norfolk Southern line that served the textile mills. It is in process of being turned into a rail trail as all the mills closed years ago. I recall occasional traffic up until 2012 to serve the concrete plant that still operates on the line.

[@josephtittle55]

This remarkable video remains me of a town I used to live in Tennessee. Trains went through this town,but not right in the center part.

[@timothyrogersrailfanning5673]

I bet the people there in that town hope the train doesn't derail when it comes through. Awesome video, thanks for sharing such an awesome way of railfanning

[@JawTooth]

Thank you very much!

[@AKBoostBBQ]

Spirit of Cincinnati foreva! Thanks for the video, my man!

[@JawTooth]

Thank you for watching!

[@kendavidson9827]

It's a beautiful thing....nice clean town too..thanks for sharing....

[@dkneuer]

I love street running trains ! great video!

[@curtismass1014]

I wouldn't mind having an apartment on that street. I'd sleep like a baby. The sound of the train would help my mind unwind.

[@Eric-un5ov]

Awesome video. There used to be street running trains in Wisconsin. I don't see them around anymore. They're awesome

[@bethwoodford6679]

cool vedio in most towns when you cross the street you have look for cars and truicks but there you have to look for trains to lol

[@coffeeisgood102]

I want to move to that town!

[@lostsoul3154]

Harold: NO you don't want to do that! It gets old after seeing it a few times. Trains thru the middle of town suck, believe me.

[@sandrasmith7501]

Harold Bullock Since you probably can't move there, you can visit any time, day or night. They have a live cam there on Main Street 24/7. And a chat room with really nice folk. Search La Grange, Kentucky Live Virtual Railfan.

[@finger3215]

Jaw Tooth and Millennium Force are my best railway channel!

[@cameronnovini4660]

I love street running trains. Just so amazing a long freight train going along the street.

[@99carnot]

Cool street running. Liked. To bad it is a no horn town:)

[@JohnRobertMallernee]

I was surprised to see the number of freight cars that were NOT defaced by graffiti.

[@McRocket]

That is amazing. I thought we were going to see some sort of museum to museum single train movement...but this is a real train going right down the middle of a relatively crowded street. I did not know such things happened still.

[@Tigerman7warfighter]

loved this place first time I got to see streetrunning can't wait to go see it again

[@BBT609]

This is dope lol! I love street running! Great video!!! 10:31, sadly those old guys are gone now :(

[@franciscoleonardo151]

That is pretty neat. I remember when the DT&I came down the center of Railroad street, I loved it. Seems they in creased the train speed once the locomotives come through town

[@mkmcclure]

When I was a child and visited LaGrange in the 60s and 70s, trains entered town at 25-35 mph similar to the second train after it worked up to track speed. The L&N did not waste time. But in those days, LaGrange was an isolated small town, not a suburb like today.

[@markpenrice6253]

That was... remarkably quiet. Even when going across the crossings they didn't sound the horns, just that fairly subtle ding-ding-ding to give you a clue that several thousand tons of metal death might be bearing down on you at 10mph or so... The locos and all those wagons oiled on past in total stealth mode.

[@tobysummers471]

Nice. This line reminds me of the Weymouth tramway in Weymouth where trains used to run through the streets for about a mile. I think they used to use it for boat trains. The last train ran on it in 1999 and they closed it for safety reasons. There is a video on here on it. Great video and thanks for uploading!

[@HammondDirk]

In Switzerland, it is actually very common to see trains running through the streets. Most of them are actually small narrow gauge trains going into the mountains, as in the narrow valleys, there is often no space for both a street and a railroad. And in Zurich, there is still a normal gauge railroad delivering grain to the SwissMill multiple times a day, passing through some streets in the city!

[@nicklarkin6555]

LaGrange looks such a lovely place, America not caught up in some nightmare corporate concrete mall infested nightmare. Look at those lovely local shops. Imagine families in nice houses with a porch and rocking chairs, a '53 Chevy in the yard and mom's apple pie smelling wonderfully in the oven. Bet there's a Wallmart not too far away though. Promised myself a visit one day. Love to y'all.

[@Realunitedstates]

Very nice video! This was really interesting to see. Makes me want to visit LaGrange! Thanks for making this.

[@DennyDreadBassMan]

Love this video. Nice looking town too. It gives me ideas for my layout. Plus CSX and BNSF are two of my favorite road names.

[@JawTooth]

Always nice to have a fellow guitarist comment on my videos! I notice you play bass. My favorite bass player is Bootsy Collins. He lives near Cincinnati and I have been in his house a few times. I play guitar also but not very often anymore. Thanks for watching my video and commenting!

[@DennyDreadBassMan]

I remember when Bootsy played with James Brown. Then later he started The Funkadelics with George Clinton and eventually Parliament and Bootsy's Rubber Band. I don't play professionally anymore due to a motorcycle accident. I'm getting better, but it's going to be a long time before I can get back into it.

[@TheShadeTreeFixitMan]

Amazing footage Brian. It gave me some ideas for my layout. Thanks!

[@JawTooth]

Thanks for watching George!

[@Balerio2357]

Awesome video Brian, love street running videos! Great job as well. - Balerio

[@nikhomshaweeriyha9913]

Amazing railway which is in the middle of the town, and incredible this is in one of the town America.

[@dannyholt105]

Nice Brian! Thank you. Cheers, Dan

[@JawTooth]

Thank you Dan!

[@railfantrainman1000]

I dread to think what would happen if there ever was a derailment there...but what a sight, I have to say, watching street running like that! And having a main line doing this...I think that's one of only two instances in North America where that occurs.

[@Trains4Fun]

This is great. I can only think of one nearby city that has a street runner like this, but it's only a once a week operation. I've never seen it in realtime Very Nice!!

[@JawTooth]

I know where there are a bunch of street runners but most of them are not very busy like the one you are talking about. Theres a streetrunner in Franklin Ohio and one in St Mary West Virginia that I plan on getting this summer. When I go to Florida next week I want to try to catch the Tampa streetrunner again but it is down to only a few trips a week. Thanks for watching!

[@Trains4Fun]

Cool. Also congrats on this video hiting a 100k+ views in a week and 1045 like!! :)

[@JawTooth]

TRAINS_4_FUN I can't believe how many views it's getting. That's awesome! Yesterday I got 135 new subscribers! My channel goes up and down. Millenniumforce and I made a hilarious video yesterday that he will post in a couple weeks. It will show people what real foamers are like. Lol. I'm filming at Apolo Beach Florida right now

[@Trains4Fun]

Jaw Tooth Haha alright. I can't wait too see. You guys have some great chemistry together!!

[@coffeeisgood102]

Back when I used to live in Toronto, many tears ago, there were train tracks on First street, but they were off to the side, not in the center like this one. Vehicle traffic could still move when the train was rolling. But of course they could only go straight. So if they needed to cross the rails they would have to wait.

[@rayc.1396]

When I were young I lived in north Idaho, There's a town up there called Mullin, when the train went through there the shop keepers had to roll in their awnings. There was no parking between certain hours due to the train. All parking was on one side, the other dropped about 20' into the creek.

[@lesg.7983]

A train running right through the middle of town? I love it! No problem as long as some idiot does not try to get in its way.

[@JawTooth]

But they do almost every day. lol. Thanks for watching!

[@rajeshnarayanaswamy5773]

Very beautiful and good to see a beauty on the road...

[@RonN448]

That was one amazing video! I can't imagine what a pain in the neck it must be for the people who live in LaGrange, KY with the trains running right through the downtown area. But, I suppose they're used to it. Great place for railfans, though! Thanks for posting this. --Ron (near Chicago, IL)

[@bikerdude3r]

Awesome video, Brian Love these 'street running trains', I am surprised how fast go the tail ends of the trains through town

[@ErikAlfaroProductionsOfficial]

Nice footage! It's interesting seeing trains running through this town!

[@JawTooth]

Thank you Erik!

[@franceselainethurston1606]

I not only love your videos but your music.

[@Trains21]

Good video, Brian.. Still gotta get out there one of these days.

[@JawTooth]

Its about an hour and a half south of Cincinnati. Thanks for watching!

[@gopher1471]

Great film, thanks for sharing,this is something that has vanished from the UK. :)

[@gravelydon7072]

Enjoyed the video. In our hometown in Ohio there is street running and just up the river is St Marys, WV which also has street running. Both are former B&O tracks and now CSXT.

[@WestCoastRails]

Awesome video!! Love street running.

[@davidallen6333]

Great video Brian , OMG finally the first train ended , was one of the longest autorack I have seen ! Great catch the track is nice and smooth there . Second train looks like a grain train .

[@ashleyroachclip1]

looked more like cement cars

[@davidallen6333]

ashleyroachclip1 Yes the rusty 2 bay covered hoppers !

[@captainamerica9028]

train's cain't haul cement, against federal laws

[@davidallen6333]

So how do they move it then , they can haul all sorts of dangerous goods but no cement ?? Why ?

[@cornerstonestrategicpartne7957]

sorry cool cucumber is wrong. Many railroads haul cement today. Just do a google search and review the railroads that haul cement every day.

[@DFWRob]

Grew up in Crestwood!! Close to home. Great vid

[@randallbyrd1973]

Awesome video TY for sharing

[@happyeexplorers]

Great place to live! I never seen one so long in real life!

[@StanislavGrymblat]

Interestingly, thank you for sharing your such a wonderful video!

[@ronfarrell2889]

you can hear the traction motors all the way down the cars that is Neat Wow

[@TheJust22az]

That's crazy. 4 trains come thru in that short time would make me want to move elsewhere.

[@TralfazConstruction]

Terrific video. Thank you for this.

[@TheNomadicRailfan]

Phenomenal video Jaw Tooth! That's an awesome location, definitely need to check it out one day.

[@bezuglich]

I'm wishing a prosperous 2017 for all the businesses seen in the vid. Downtown looks pretty spiffy; no derelict buildings, as far as I can tell; hope it stays that way!

[@eloyex]

i am a little bit shock to see that LONNGGGG train gong thru the middle of the town !!!!! Such a view .....!!!

[@oldchickenlady]

What a beautiful town! I plan to visit there if I can.

[@JawTooth]

It is a really awesome place to spend a day. I like your channel name. I have had chickens most of my life. I have a flock right now that free ranges on my farm.

[@emph66]

Great video, it's hard to believe these tracks weren't rerouted at some point in time. This small town must have built up around the train tracks a century ago.

[@bekleidungu.ausrustung7068]

Love those TTX autoracks, JT!! Probably headed to a factory to pick up new cars!!!

[@JawTooth]

They have a lot of auto rack trains on this line. Probably a third or so of the trains on this line are auto racks
