HEAVY Train Can't Make It Up Hill & Stalls, My Best Short Line Railroad Video Ever! Must See Video!

Extra Heavy Train Stalls Out On Steep Grade & Terrible Driver Almost Gets Car Hit With Railroad Crossing Gate! Big Grain & Rock Train fights gravity on a long, steep and curvy grade in Williamsburg, Ohio on short line railroad Cincinnati Eastern Railroad CCET. This is a long and heavy train loaded with grain, railroad cross ties and rock. With business picking up dramatically over the past couple of years, the trains are getting longer and heavier. I think this is my best CCET video yet.
First we see the train in Mount Orab, Ohio coming across the High Street railroad crossing. Notice the old train station and historic buildings. We also see remnants of 2 railroad sidings. This is a perfect area for model railroad enthusiasts.
Next we see the train attacking the steep grade in Williamsburg, Ohio. It kept slowing down until it finally stopped and rolled back a little when the slack came out. It might have made it if there had not been a slow order in place on the hill. The engineer called the conductor on the radio and had him cut the train in half. The first section of the train went a short distance to Afton Yard and left the cars on a siding there. The locomotives ran lite back to the remaining section of the train that consisted of hopper cars loaded with rock. We see the train making the two trips to Afton where the train was put back together. Notice the terrible driver in the video who wasn't paying attention. The lights were flashing, bells ringing and the gates coming down before she got to the crossing. She got surprised, stopped the car next to the crossing and then backed up with the crossing gate just missing the top of her car. This is the same crossing that I filmed a school bus getting hit with a crossing gate and the bus remaining in place with the train passing.
I also filmed the train at a couple of other railroad crossings before it got to Williamsburg. They will be included in another video due to the length of this video. One of the crossings is next to a long dip in the track which is pretty cool to watch the train go down and up that section. The other crossing is one of my favourites because it has a house next to the crossing with a perfect view of the trains and there is a maintenance of way siding there that is still active.

Thank you and wish you a great weekend . My great grandmother was German , gave me a good start in life .

[@Keith_WB2VUO]

I counted 16 grain cars and 2 railroad ties and 20 rock hoppers. Now, that's a HEAVY train! I had to look twice to make sure of the count. Great train and outstanding video, sir!

[@JawTooth]

You got that right! I miscounted . Thanks for the correction

Good morning!

[@nancyhodges444]

Now that’s what I call awesome, this shortline really puts on a show. These crews really earn their money. I sure would’ve liked to have seen this line under NS and N&W ownership. The fact that they had to double the hill splitting up their train indicates how steep that hill is. Nice to see, although not in service, an old N&W CPL signal still standing. Your right, this is your best shortline video ever. The CCET is an awesome short line. Thanks JT.

[@gusshadleythelunaticfromar7125]

[@earlschmitt884]

Thanks, J.T. I love to see how the story ends. You tell us a lot of what the conductors need to do. But in this case, my hat is off to the engineer who had to, not once, but twice, start out from a dead stop, pulling that heavy load up hill, without a wheel slip. That takes a very skilled hand on the throttle!

[@musclecarmitch908]

Great grain train footage Jawtooth! Love them old signal's! I would've loved to saw that line back in the day! Thankfully it lives on as a great short line! Thanks for sharing!

Jaw Tooth on the scene reporting! Live action, son.

[@shawnpowell5876]

Great catch of the CET SD40 and GP15 pulling a HEFTY consist of cars! Its unbelievable how the slightest grade can affect a train to make it stall. But when pulling Grain and Stones and you roughly figure every 5 cars is a Million lbs will certainly make a locomotive struggle. Nice job as always JT and always enjoy seeing the CET short line railroad working hard! Cheers from Delmar, Delaware my friend.

[@shawnpowell5876]

@∈ x ∈ the SD40 has 6 axels and the GP15 has only 4 and of course its shorter. When pulling a consist of cars the SD40 will always be the lead locomotive.

[@TheClockwise770]

Great video as always JT . That sure was some load they were moving. They should have had a helper DMU pushing at the back and probably would have made it up the gradient.

[@beulahpowell1478]

Now this is what we call exciting! To see a locomotive not being able to make it up a hill being divided in half to continue the trip. Cool. Love this. Love hearing the radio dispatch.😊 Boy that second half was pulling pretty hard. You did good .. 👍😊

[@JawTooth]

Well said! Thanks for your comments

[@byrongilbert3720]

nice catch. reminded me of the time when i was kid, a Chicago and Northwestern train stalled by where i lived. the engineer was a nice guy. i asked him how much weight he was pulling. it was around 10,000 tons. this was a couple of years before the UP took it over. i wish i could remember what the locomotives were.

[@thomasmleahy6218]

I may have known that hogger, was it in Chicago, or the suburbs? When I started there in the early 70s, we'd get a job to deliver loaded gons to the IHB RR on the night shift and would usually stall and need a shove up the steep hill from the east end of yard 4, having to wait a half hour or more for the shove from another yard job.Location wise that was just west of Lake street and 25th Ave Melrose Park. Good video, JT, I could hear the wheel slip happening on that 2nd pull at about 22:30. You'd think they'd let them have a back to back consist instead of them traveling bass ackwards long hood leading across all those road x-ings. Must be a heck of a grade to strain 2 locos with those short cuts.

[@chriselectric1116]

Really love your videos, I can watch them all day, thanks.................
