First Train, Restored Rail Service To Grain Elevator, Cincinnati East Terminal Ry, Throwback Video!

[@kevinbaker4241]

Well done. It's nice to see a line put back in service rather than being abandoned for good and ripped out.

[@jamesshanks2614]

When a line is taken out of service all the grade crossings with automatic protection are shut down commercial power is shut off so the railroad doesn't have to send a signal maintainer out to shut off/raise the gates which is an unnecessary expense when the line is embargoed. Short lines generally have only a few employees and at this point in the reopening of this line they simply hadn't gotten around to turning all the grade crossings back in service. As I've seen by newer videos of this mill they fixed the track to avoid wide gauge and reactivated the grade crossings. All in a day's work when reopening a embargoed rail line. They are doing it right by stopping and flagging each crossing and liberally using the horn as after two years of no trains they have to let people know the trains are back! Congratulations to the Cincinnati East Terminal Railroad at getting another new/old customer back.

[@marieakrim4862]

That's good news because most railroads are down sizing

[@marieakrim4862]

I worked on a railroad upper management seems to be clueless to customers needs we had to tell customers we couldn't switch them more than one time

[@Timrathmore]

Thanks for the info....... always appreciate when someone's got the inside scoop on things. ......that horn will surely wake up the neighborhood lol ....... lol

[@crlaw75]

We have a line in southwestern Ontario that was dormant for a few years and had the power to some of the crossings off and when the line started up again under a new name, they were turned back on. The one crossing I saw, they removed the gates, but once running again, they didn't reinstall them.

[@BurtonSKnowles]

Gotta love short line railroads. So much character, so different. Class 1s are fine, but these are so much more interesting.

[@tfs4499]

Nice video, great to see the old branches being revived and utilized; and love seeing the SW's working the industrial and agricultural facilities.

[@TheResponder]

Good to hear it's back in service. Nicely captured!

My Grand Mother’s house had a railway track in her backyard! Separated by a waist high fence! Exciting plus!

I like the five gallon buckets on the stacks of the switcher. At least we know someone cares about rather than saying that's not my job like so many people do now days.

Thanks for the throwback footage and history behind the line!

[@BerniesModelRailroad]

Merry Christmas! Thanks for posting. It always nice to see a rail line come back to life.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! This rail line has a big customer in the works and there is supposed to be an announcement in a month or so about it. I cant wait to find out what is about to happen. word is that something big is about to happen at MP41 area Mt Orab

Good video made with scenes you never posted before. I have a lot of Throwback material in my computers, too. I could post videos for almost six months using just the old material (usually not more than a year old). Thakns for these views of trains and nice town landscapes, too. Merry Christmas!

Very interesting video my friend, thumbs up and many greetings from Jutta

[@allenra530]

They probably had to slap a few gauge bars on there until they could get a few new ties under the grain spur. It's not a difficult fix, but it has to be done now and then.

[@Timrathmore]

Very nice Video....... a true railfan!! You are lol

[@25mfd]

Nice vid. Good to see a line not abandoned. That blue and yellow unit looks like an ex Alaska railroad unit. A geep 60 perhaps???

I would think it would not be legal to operate on the tracks with all the signals down. Its dangerous. Hell people drive through them when they ARE working. Nice vid. :P

[@kengraczyk5601]

What is the history of the SW9. When I was a kid the C&O ran behind our house and they used two SW9s back to back. I recall they used 5236 and 5238.

[@JawTooth]

All I know is it was built by GMD somewhere in the early 50s. National Railway Equipment from Illinois leased it to the grain elevator for years until they finally bought it. I have pictures of it in a different color from a few years back. I made videos of Norfolk southern removing it also that I might put together into one video. Someone stole the horn off of it.

[@loritobin2578]

Why did the CCET get rid of the ex-Alaska GP49 locomotives anyways? I know there weren't many built and they aren't super powerhouses but they are still quite reliable.

[@EdisnFox]

at the first 2 crossings, it looks like the same tan 4 door car slams on their brakes when they see the train coming.

[@erie910]

Wonder what rules this RR uses. Many rules do not require whistling for a road crossing if it is protected by a flagger. Most rules require crossings with out of service protection to be flagged by a flagger on the ground. CSX rules and others do not permit boarding moving equipment.

[@natevitchner4996]

almost looks like an old Cleveland Electric Gp-38.

[@FreedomtowerStudios]

Awesome Video Jaw Tooth! So Im guessing they will turn the crossing signals back soon? Hope we can railfan sometime together!

[@richardp950]

nice-I watched all and i put a like on this too

[@1940limited]

This is an old video, but I really enjoyed it. I hope that line is sill running.

[@JawTooth]

There are about 42 miles that are out of service. They want to get 18 more back into service

[@1940limited]

@@JawTooth I'll keep my fingers crossed more of it comes back. We were in danger of losing the former Lackawanna in PA between Slateford nad Scranton for many years after Contrial but Delaware Lackawanna breathed new life into it but it did get single tracked with no signalling. There was a beautiful Union Switch & Signal system in place, but that's gone. Unfortunately we lost the NJ cut-off. Now a portion of that is supposed to come back but it's taking a long time.

[@fotaugrafee]

Is that the old NREX 162 that was used at the Winchester elevator years ago? I shot it when it was still faded sky blue, but I thought it was shipped out (back to NRE maybe?). Where was the switcher parked in the interim?

Dang, finally at the 10:00 mark, some signals that work

[@GEES44DC]

This is a prime example of me liking our Canadian rules in a case like this. You don't have to blow the horn in Canada if a crossing is being flagged.

[@kyleb06]

They don't in the US either. From what I saw in other comments, they most likely honked so that people in the towns could get back into the groove of trains coming through.

[@GEES44DC]

@@kyleb06 the US rule book I'm familiar with absolutely says you have to blow the horn while flagging a crossing.

Oh my gosh! This is a drop dead awesome video! I'll add a link to it from my www.alaskarails.org website. I always keep track of the ladies who graced the Alaska Railroad. Thanks so much for sharing this video!

[@1940limited]

For a line that's been out of service a while they're moving right along. The tracks are still in good shape. At 5:03 you can see how shiny the rails became once the locomotives went under the bridge. Do the grade crossing gates work now?

[@JawTooth]

They have them working up to Seaman, Ohio at mp 62. This summer they might get the trains running to Plum Run just past Peebles up to mp 78.445. They want to start hauling gravel out of the quarry

[@bradenrobison1969]

weren't a lot of the crossings disconnected???

[@VictorianRailHeritage]

Why Where Every Railroad Crossing In The Video Not Working Was It A Malfuntion Or Was Power Out

[@AIRFORCECAP7]

What happened to the crossing? They didn't light up or gates went down

[@microbusss]

that loco looks like a ex-Alaska RR

[@JawTooth]

It is! They have 3 of these ex-Alaska RR GP49s. They are in my videos.

[@Gizmologist1]

Did they disconnect all the crossing gates? The engineer sure likes sitting on the horn.

[@GEES44DC]

Canadian rules are good in this case. Horn doesn't have to be blown when a crossing is being flagged.
