Trains Fighting Gravity On Steep Grades! Trains With DPUs & A Train Goes Under Me While On A Bridge Maintained By Norfolk Southern. Caboose, Train Station And A Look At Main Line Rail. These 4 Trains Are In Elsmere And Erlanger, Kentucky On The Norfolk Southern Rat Hole Line. NS Recently Bought This 300+ Mile Line From Cincinnati.
I got 3 trains going up the hill and 1 train going down the hill. This is a steep grade that comes up out of the Ohio River Valley and peaks around the Erlanger, Kentucky area near Mile Post 10 on the NS Rat Hole Line. I spent a Saturday here trying to catch trains fighting gravity and I got lucky. As you will see I got a few of them going up the hill that has a maximum grade of 1.18% and I got one going down the hill. The intermodal train with double DPUs in the middle was my favorite. I wish the camera would pick up the awesome sounds of the locomotives earning their keep on this grade.
The spot where I am standing on the knoll filming the trains is just past the crest of the hill. Sometimes I catch trains here with manned helper units. Right after they pass the railroad crossing they will stop and cut off the manned pusher unit and then it returns back down the hill. I have several videos of that process if you are interested.
I also got a flag salute from a crew that had just crested the hill! That was really awesome. The area where I was at is near the Erlanger depot. I show the depot, the caboose and even film a train going behind the depot. You can also see the markings on the heavy welded rail when I zoom my camera in. Which train was your favourite? Do you like watching videos from here as much as I like filming them? I hope so because I really love visiting this area. There is a Frische's restaurant still open near here and I went there on this day. Don't forget the Live Action Pets and the slide show at the end of this video.
Filmed Saturday, January 25, 2025 in 1080p/4K with 60fps. Thanks for watching!
