Hey jawtooth that was a good way you told your viewers to look up "sundown towns". It surprised me that some folks didn't know that at one time during segregation and jim crow that i would not have been able to work as an engineer or conductor, i was proud to know that my late grandfather was one of the first crop of black men that were in the train crew ( he worked for Chicago,Burlington, and Quincy and when they became Burlington Northern, he retired 12 years before the merger) Just glad i was never raised to hate anyone. As always this BNSF conductor enjoyed the video!!

there are still some sundown towns in southeast KY Southwest VA West Va and East TN. Sneedville, TN is a great example

[@Og-Judy]

Most of today's white population ancestors came from western Europe after the Civil War had concluded. Blacks were always viewed with suspicion as heathen uneducated jungle dwellers. Long before Jamestown Virginia, Spanish tried starting a colony with slaves in 1525 in what's today's Georgia. Many of them escaped to Indian tribes in the area. Many early slaves including Jamestown were the results of British privateers "pirating" slaves from French, Spanish, Dutch and Portuguese slave ships going to the Caribbean Islands and South America. Most of the northern states population was early German and Polish and Scandinavian settlements. Why do you think "employed" colored people had the lowly jobs. Glad you enjoyed being a conductor. Not a job many white men fought to get, along with janitors maids housekeepers and other "grunt" job positions likely held by Blacks. Sundown towns are still around here in Wisconsin where demographics have Blacks at

Thank you for sharing! As an NS employee at corporate in Atlanta, I never knew “Street Running” was even a thing. Yes, the first train was a grain train or unit train. The second one is what we call a mixed freight train, and because it was so short, it was probably a local train, instead of a road train, but it could have been a road train. Again, good stuff and thanks for sharing.

[@JawTooth]

Thanks for sharing!! I filmed street running trains on the NS line in Augusta, Georgia back in February. Thats pretty cool that you work for NS. I like your trains. Thanks for watching !

You’re welcome! I’ve been with NS almost 11 years, and I learn something new almost everyday, this being one of them. I will check out the Atlanta and Augusta videos and will definitely visit those areas so I can see it for myself.

@@Afrodeshia Some of the people who work for NS need to know more about the rails they operate, I commend you for actually taking time to learn new things about NS.

I would treasure the natural beauty and culture that is today the American land, if i were you before travelling abroad.

Yes, I agree. I love travelling around the USA and filming trains. I have a list of places that I would love to see. I would also like to see Brazil and film your trains.

Thank you for this! I live in Elwood, about 3 blocks from the tracks in-town, close to our City building. My family and I love hearing the trains come through all day and night, you can almost set your watch by them. My kid likes to walk down to watch when the train comes. We've only lived here for a year and that first victorian house you showed always makes us laugh when we drive by, but we hope they fix it up because it's looking rough from the outside. That spooky house, we wonder about that one a lot. I wonder if it was a hospital of some sort or a school maybe when it was originally used. Very odd place for sure hahaha.

There are two in Ireland. One's in Dublin Port. I think that the only trains on it are the aluminium ore trains from Tara Mines. Dublin Port has a lot of container traffic and also a fair few foot passengers on ferries to Wales and France, but there are no passenger trains and I think no intermodal trains. The other is in Wexford Town. Trains from Dublin to Rosslaire Harbour run right along Wexford Harbour in the middle of town. That line is mostly DMU passenger trains. I know that there used to be intermodal trains out of Rosslaire Harbour (and Waterford Harbour nearby), but I don't think there are any more.

I grew up in Elwood. The street used to go to S.R. 13 but they cut that last 200 feet out a few years back. The "spooky house" used to be a church. I was told that they had problems with people thinking it was still abandoned. There are dozens of those old Victorian style houses all over town. There was a natural gas boom in the 1800's, so there was a lot of factories and money in Elwood, until the gas ran out. And Elwood was originally named Quincy, not Duck Creek,

Amazing to think how many neighborhoods in the late 19th century had massive steam trains running right in front of homes. The smoke, soot, noise and vibrations all day long. We have historic photos of our town showing Victorian era families sitting on their front porches with locomotives passing 20-30 feet from them!

[@TrishTheDish765]

The house with all the cameras used to be a church. I have went there many times and had girl scout meetings in the basement. I remember when it sold and they renovated it into a home. Very odd. The old victorian home used to once be so beautiful. It used to be a multi family home, then someone bought it and fixed it up & I babysat for a family there. They also hired my friend and I to clean all the wood work there. Then they sold it and moved and the person that lives there now has just let it go. Probably will be beyond repair soon. The balcony on the side of the house is falling. Its very sad.

Man, for street running trains, they were Really booking, man what’s the hurry .That strange house would make a perfect backdrop for a Halloween block party. Noticed two of these trains weren’t very long by today’s standards, wonder why. Nice work JT, interesting to hear a little history about Elwood, Indiana.👍🏼🙏🏻🚂

[@tehpw7574]

Quaint maybe... your demographic might determine the % of accuracy, however (I did not know the term 'Sundown' and when i wiki'd it, sadly Elwood will remain one of the places NOT to visit (I'm sure the feelings mutual)... what i found curious, RR related was the LACK of Powered Crossings (i guess that's a Indiana thing more than anything else) in the rural areas and seemingly NO signals anywhere along the route in Elwood...

Who's the genius that allows street parking with the bonus of no train speed restrictions. What happens when it's garbage day and the truck and train meet? That town has a weird vibe to it.

[@tommyguyishere]

There are communication of schedules. There is no ignorance to that.

[@pauldaignault7407]

When I worked for Florida DOT back in the 70’s crossing rights were a major issue. The courts essentially ruled that who was there first had a majority of the rights. When costs associated with a railroad crossing came into play, if the railroad was there first then they only paid 10% of the costs and DOT or the local municipality paid 90% of the cost. The reverse applied as well. Major crossings costs could easily go into six figures or more if the the crossing was large and/or complex. Hearings sometimes got pretty heated.

Waited along this street several times. I don't live far from there, I also lived along the Frankfort District for over 20 years so this is very familiar territory. The Frankfort usually doesn't get more than 4-5 trains a day so I'd say you got pretty lucky on the timing!

As a Swede, this is absolutely baffling. We're almost not allowed to have level crossings anymore, so the sheer idea of street running trains is just mind blowing.

[@kobyschechter8163]

As a New Yorker this is baffling to me as well. We have three major commuter railroads in the NY metro area (Long Island Railroad, Metro North Railroad, and New Jersey Transit) plus Amtrak and there are lots of railroad crossings but they don't run in the middle of residential roads.

[@mikkemiksu]

Same thoughts as a Finn. We're getting rid of level crossings like crazy.

[@dfpytwa]

I spent a summer in Elwood living with some cousins until we finally moved to Portland IN. When us kids heard a train coming we'd be out there putting stacks of dimes, pennies and nickels together for the train to run over. I still have some mashed together amalgams of those stacks 45 years later. They had a 20 MPH speed limit for trains back then and some of us would race along side on our 10 speeds or Stingrays and grab onto tankers or other cars that had something to grab onto and roll along with them for kicks. I was back there about 10 years ago doing a job in the area and visiting my cousin and rarely saw a kid outside doing anything. They all stay in the house now gaming or on social media rather clinging onto a train for a quick joy ride.
