Coal Trains Slam RR Diamonds, School Bus Waits For Coal Train, Train Snakes Over Railroad Crossing

Heavy Coal Trains, Railroad Diamonds, Union Pacific Railroad Leads Giant Train Through The S Curves At The Railroad Crossing. School Bus Waits For Train With Kid Yelling Out The Window & Various Angles Of Trains Crossing The Diamonds. These Norfolk Southern and CSX trains are in Marion, Ohio. We also see some trains with DPU locomotives.
The first two trains are coal trains headed westbound on the Norfolk Southern line headed towards Chicago. The view of the first one is pretty awesome. Looking down on the train as it slams the diamonds. The next coal train came just as a school bus got to the crossing. The lucky kids got excited and one of them can be heard yelling at me to stop recording the train. That was odd. I feel bad for the poor bus driver. Lol
We also have a Norfolk Southern local running eastbound with an SD40-2 and a few cars. After that we see a big CSX eastbound train with DPU hit the diamonds. Check out the size of some of the auto rack cars. After that a CSX locomotive runs by in both directions with a conductor riding on it.
The last two trains are Norfolk Southern eastbound trains. They are running geographically south but railroad east. The line runs east/west between Chicago and Portsmouth, Virginia. Don't forget to see what the pets are doing and we also have the slide show that comes from the video.

My OCD brain is happy that the coal was so nicely and evenly distributed in all of those cars!

[@Tigerpaw87]

That diamond rhythm is hypnotic.

Yes it is! Only time I get to hear it is in videos none close to me 😢

[@williamralph5442]

Good day rail fanning. Two coal drags, auto racks, intermodal, locals. Good stuff JT..thanks

[@garywotherspoon5037]

The only local lines that are still being used here are mostly CSX and some B&O. Mostly hauling coal with some freight. The local lines run through narrow valleys and "hollers". When they blow their horns, it can echo for miles. The coal here is fed mostly into the Mt. Storm power plant. And you can see some odd old crossings that had to work with the local terrain.

[@dsmith9964]

B&O was absorbed into CSX in 1986.😮

[@pathvalleyrailroad9277]

B&O was part of Chessie Systems before that.

[@stevenbrindley2469]

Great videos as usual, coal train still with a few Conrail hoppers in the consist. Fantastic vantage point.

[@rogertemple7193]

Hey Jaw Tooth, seeing the trains going through the small towns like here is really great and always like watching them in the less busy areas of the towns, always really great to see the trains here Thank You Jaw Tooth.🤠 🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🇺🇲💨

[@UnstoppableRailfan]

Nice you caught a Union Pacific thundercab Leading

[@utubewatcher806]

Your initial assessment of the caboose was correct. "Erie - Lackawanna" is based on the stylized "E-L" on the brand herald. The "Erie" brand was a diamond with "Erie" inside the circle.

[@ed2245]

Great day for watching trains

From Deb…to me, even just one, lone locomotive rolling along is so cool!

What's better than a railroad diamond? A double railroad diamond! A cool location for trains :)

Marion used to be junction of the Erie- Lackawanna, New York Central, B&O & N&W, with a major EL yard and engine facility just west of the crossings. Great video, son.

[@pathvalleyrailroad9277]

My wife's great grandfather drove a K5a Pacific for the Erie RR, then a FA for the Erie and EL. Her great grandmother worked in the steam shovel plant right next door.

[@RTWest-kn5fr]

Thank you for your video. You are doing a fine job... in Marion, Ohio. With diamonds. RT sends, Puebla, México. We are in a heat wave here. Most are blaming it on El Niño... but, the kid isn't responsible... just the heat. Huh? I am delirious from the heat. I bought several Electrolyte beverages. My favorite is Guayaba flavored. That's my report for today. In space... no one can hear you scream.

[@JawTooth]

thanks for your report today! Yesterday I was in Northern Indiana. The temps were slightly below normal but I had to drink a few energy drinks for all the driving. Guayaba sounds like it must taste good. Lol

Just came here to say that your videos are great. I had two great uncles who were railroad employees--one worked for GM&O/IL Central ( and won a contest for coming up with a safety slogan!)

[@saddletramp1860]

Maybe the yelling kid was related to the railroad employee that didn't want you filming him.😂😢😂

[@Hangnail-vb1zz]

Outstanding video JT super cool spot.

[@garymiller5937]

What an awesome, awesome video JT. You just about had it all. Back to back coal trains, a fairly long double stack, and the 2nd longest train I've ever seen in the mixed freight. That was so cool! I like those white auto racks with what look like windows. Puts me in the mind of a prison car. When it comes to maintaining diamonds do both

[@garymiller5937]

Do both rail companies share the

[@carolmcallister1908]

That coal looked like it had been crushed

The articulated autoracks are known as the Auto-Max. They have adjustable ramps on the inner decks to better accommodate SUV's.

Thank you for another splendid video from your 17 May 2023 trip to Marion, Ohio. It was nice to see the two coal trains on this video. That was another long auto rack train. Could you tell whether the Auto racks were loaded or empty?

Love these diamond videos. That sound over the diamonds is satisfying. Also, fun fact: due to safety regulations, coal burning power plants have MORE loose radioactivity than nuclear power plants.

Hey, great place for videography. Good job, JT. Any idea how long that last train was?

[@sarahhearn-vonfoerster7401]

Too long 😪..too much coal

[@TPW900GP35]

@@sarahhearn-vonfoerster7401This is probably a year too late, but those hoppers toward the rear of that long freight at the end weren’t coal empties, but coke empties. The clue is those extended height hoppers in the 802000 series. There were a lot of private cars in the group as well. The cars in the 144000 to 149000 series are used in coal and coke service. The hopper trains were coal, of course. Some could have been met coal, or metallurgical coal, to be loaded on Great Lakes ore ships for steel mills on the lakes. I say that since there were two coal trains back to back. Power plants can handle one train at a time. I’m not familiar with that area enough to know where all the power plants are. I’m just guessing about the met coal since they were both northbound.

On BNSF by me, the eastbound coal trains have multiple units in front pulling, and usually one at the rear (DPS) also for the westbound empty return trip.

[@larrylawson5172]

I know you have to edit your videos. You do fine work. I picked up that the light CSX engine 3273 shown after the autorack train lead by 3273 went across the diamonds. I guess they had to go out on the main to back up to connect to the autoracks. Must have needed to cross the diamonds to clear signals. The yard is not very big. That is my guess.
