Second Train Of Year On Rusty Rails, Norfolk Southern Branch Line! Norfolk & Western Railway Spur

Rare train move on rarely used east end of Cincinnati Eastern Railroad. Norfolk Southern leases this branch line to CCET. Stored tank cars were moved from Seaman, Ohio to Sardinia Ohio. The historic General Electric B36-7 dropped off a gondola at Cohen Recycling in Macon Ohio first and then continued east to Seaman. At Seaman, Ohio they picked up the 36 cars and took them to Sardinia on a siding with other stored tank cars. Trains rarely go past Mount Zion and this was only the second move of the year to Seaman. The first move was about 2 weeks prior when these cars were placed there. I show them leaving Seaman, crossing the trestle at Mount Zion , and working the siding in Sardinia. Special notes: The GP49 #2807 was removed from CCET and taken out west to another Frontier Rail line. Also, the small switcher MP15 is now on property but is not functional yet. Filmed April 24, 2019. Thanks for watching! Please comment, rate and subscribe to JawTooth!!

I loved the shot where the train is going across the trestle bridge. Awesome shot!

[@josephtatham800]

Enjoyed the video. Your camera takes all of us into areas of the country that most will never see. It's all a part of what makes this country work. Old rail lines and new, with all the trains is a fascinating study. It takes lots of effort and time to put all these videos together. Jaw Tooth, we thank you. And there must be, much more!

[@JawTooth]

Yes, it does take a lot of time and effort to make these videos and I appreciate your comments! But wait, there is more!

[@HOTRAILProductions]

Love the chugging of that GE! I never thought I would live to see the day when a B36-7 would be called "historic."

[@jackscott7237]

Thanks again Jaw Tooth for another great video. Fun to learn about what is being done as well as seeing some great trains. Keep them coming

[@TheDaf95xf]

You always do fantastic videos jaw tooth 👍🏻 Love your commentary too as it’s nice knowing what’s going on instead of watching trains gust roll by Well dove for taking the time to do this. Thanks Stevie 🇬🇧

[@crlaw75]

Years ago, a rail line in southwestern Ontario past a small town, rarely got freight traffic. The rails were so rusted that the bond wires connected to the crossing were corroded and sometimes, they didn't even switch on (the line has been gone for 40 years).

[@beulahpowell1478]

Interesting video. Those rails sure do squeal on one of those tracks. Wow. Enjoy this video. Thanks.

[@JustinPattonCB7]

You have some of the best footage I have seen. I enjoy your intros and your endings a well. You are informed, and definitely catch a lot of great footage as you explain in subtitles below the footage to keep us current on everything going on. Keep up the great footage!

[@JawTooth]

Thank you Justin!

[@elizabethdowney2446]

I love when he says "but wait there's more".

[@michaelbaughman7837]

Loved it. I'm a rail buff, passed down from my dad. He taught me much,

[@mellotronage7073]

That GE's moisture valves are going constantly. I haven't heard one that bad since Penn Central was in operation.

[@jamesharrison2374]

Though it had just ate lots of beans.

[@Rambo_1738]

Could you plz explain to me what type of valve is that I want to learn!🙏

[@spotts9668]

I can tell how excited you were to capture those moments!!

[@michaelhewitt258]

AWESOME, very informative

[@train1962]

Nice shot of the trestle crossing.Thanks Brian.

[@JawTooth]

The clouds helped make that a good shot. Usually in the afternoon, the sun is shining in my eyes when trying to film this trestle and the video doesnt come out very well. Thanks Steve!

[@stephenwilliams5201]

That's a happy little traction engine. Quiet, and clean.

[@littlejohnny47]

Thanks for the local map/overhead photo to help orient those of us not from your area! Helps!

[@joankamp4513]

Great video.

[@matthewjones9912]

Love branch line action! Thanks Jawtooth!

[@johnzeller1338]

Yup! Those hornets can really kick ass!! That poor old loco looks like it could use some good old TLC. Even if it's just a fresh coat of paint. Thanks JT! Great video.

[@LLOPEZJF]

fun and excellent job to make this video !! I think the railroad employees already know you

[@Jmat40]

Live Action son. Woooooo! You're the man JT!

[@tomy.1846]

Top quality video yet again! Thank you for putting all of the time and research into these. I don't get to go out train hunting as much as I would like, but these videos do the trick! You pick the best spots to film from, perfect scenery and clear shots of the trains doing their work.

[@Shane-Singleton]

That prime mover on that thing sounds great! far more quiet and clean running than i'd expect from a Dash-7 that old. Good to see her still on the rails doing work. I've never been to Ohio but one of the clients I support is a large telecom provider up there so I know where Batavia, Seaman, Sardinia, etc. are. having dispatched techs and parts all over that area.

[@neil442]

Brian it's one-a-day of these excellent videos -im gonna need a new memory card for all these spot on memories -your not kidding about a once every 6 months movements on this line !! Dam even the tracks rusty to prove it ! Lineside control boxes look like they need a bit of tlc -but how rare us this number -hats (and socks ) off to this one!!!

[@peckelhaze6934]

Great catch!

[@rgreed20081]

The CSX Railroad had allow a local short line to lease and to operate a historical route of the C&O Railroad. The historical route is the same route where Amtrak's Cardinal runs on. CSX still uses the historical line as a bypass for empties. Most of the empties were coal cars. The name of the Short Line is likely still the Buckingham Branch Line.

[@JawTooth]

Last fall I filmed a few trains on Buckingham Branch. Their engines have a cool looking paint scheme

[@user-im9ch9oq6z]

Very good video.

It's hard to get any work done when I keep getting notices for great content.. Stop it!! LOL

[@erikmcc804]

wow a awesome catch Brian and awesome guitar, You are the man!~~~ :-) I hope all tank car were empty cause the little engine would cry File lol

[@peterguest]

I agree with others. Nice informative commentary on your videos. I am going to have to do that on mine!

[@visionisscaryYTg]

Nice trestle shot.

[@charlesshivoder2887]

Hi. Greetings from Pennsylvania. Really nice video of everyday working railroading. Lots of fun. I notice PRR signals, what line is this? Being where it is, I might have guessed B&O or even C&O? But everybody went to Cincinnati so there are lots of possibilities. I always loved the PRR signals: they were so simple to understand. Many thanks!! CAS

[@CentralPennRailProductions]

Those are former Norfolk & Western signals, they adopted their style from the PRR. You can also tell it's N&W by the telegraph poles, N&W telegraph poles always had the narrow plank on the top, you can see them all over Virginia and WV.

[@charlesshivoder2887]

Hi. Many thanks. I forgot the N&W presence in Cincinnati. I always learn good info from you. CAS

[@47homeslice]

Looked like nice jointed rail

[@curtnicholson7771]

It still amazes me what good shape these rails are in! I have seen rails that are used every day, but to a minimum, and they are in terrible shape as compared to these.

How have I lived in Ohio for 31 years and just now realized there was a town called Seaman Ohio. Now that I am a grown up it's not as funny.

[@CentralPennRailProductions]

Great video, that horn always gets me. So what happened yesterday, I heard Indiana & Ohio hit a pick-up truck. Did you get any video?

[@JawTooth]

I didn't hear about that. I will have to check the Indiana and Ohio Railway Facebook page and see if anyone mentioned it.

[@rickcope3226]

Great job from Indiana

[@SMOKEYTHEHAWK]

Great video son.

[@JawTooth]

Thanks dad!

[@seaboardsystemproductions9714]

Awesome video brian you always do a great job plus that old -7 is cool and history!!

[@robertbrugh8426]

At least its cleaned the tracks.

[@techadmin7704]

Not relocking or putting in the safety pin on the throw switch for 2 sidings. Can cause a derail event if the weight of the engine pushes the switched rail back. Common with field employees who don't think its needed on short switching jobs. He does put it in on the final siding throw meaning he thought he was done throwing that switch for the day.(or year according to the author of the video)

[@lonewolfeproductionsbyl.v.9447]

I saw the notification pop up (yes, I hit that bell), and was gonna watch later, then saw the position-light signals. Good vid, even if they don't play a part. For your viewers: The reporting mark you see on the tankers, SHPX, is American Railcar Industries. Seems a good possibility that they manufacturered those cars, though not guaranteed. Specifically, this reporting mark means American Railcar Leasing, or ARL, a subsidiary of the first I mentioned. It's other common reporting mark is ACFX (which I've seen, but SHPX was new to me). Now, as of this month (April '19 for future readers), ARL has apparently been sold to The Greenbrier Companies. Whether this is connected to the storage of *these* cars is unknown to me.

[@JawTooth]

Thank you for the information! It helps to learn anything about these cars. There are a bunch of them on this line still although a year ago there was hundreds more stored.

[@BrianSmith-kb8uw]

Love that b36 I plan on having one custom painted to match it

[@petebachelder1131]

Sometimes wondered if the rails were too rusty they wouldn't trip the signal lights, probably wouldn't take many cars to shine them up just enough.

[@timothykeinard8085]

Interesting thanks.

[@JawTooth]

Thanks for watching!

[@martinfielder-white6539]

Hi Jaw Tooth, fancy getting your mail delivered whilst out filming!! Awesome viewing of train and freight on the trestle up high. How did you hear that there would be trains 🚂 going on the rusty rails? Great video, with some ol crooner on the guitar. Martin🇬🇧

[@JawTooth]

I got lucky. I was outside and heard the train so I followed them to see what they were doing. I was surprised to learn that they were going past Winchester.

[@kennyspry5189]

WOW Can't Believe that They Got Rid of There EMD and Keep That OLD Junk GE Engine Doesn't Make Sense Awesome Video JT Keep Up the Good Work.

[@JawTooth]

The GE is really an awesome engine. Listen to the horn and listen to how it sounds when it is pulling. That is my favorite engine so far of all the engines that CCET has used.

[@stanpatterson5033]

I prefer GE's myself over EMD's, but the decision to part with the EMD might have been merely a financial decision. Because sometimes railways lease, rather than own locomotives, why make payments on a locomotive that you just can't justify for the work being done? You can't afford to tie up all your locos and use them on one single train, the fuel consumption alone would be wild. So, when you have a 3600hp loco and a 2800hp loco and can only afford to send one (and really only need one on that job), send either one, but when you have to make lease payments at the end of each month, as well as insurance, maintenance, etc. you quickly realize that having a bunch of locos sitting around not earning their keep is a waste. So, pick the most powerful one (the one with 3600hp) because it's more likely to be able to handle heavy loads in the event that you get a huge train. Let the EMD go back to the leasing company and be relieved of the payments.

[@kennyspry5189]

@@JawTooth You Are Right The Horn Does Sound Good and It Does Sound Good Pulling I Agree with You on Those Parts BUT Those Old GE Engines Have a lot of Engine (Motor) Problems Those EMD Engines were Better in That Part Not That I Don't Like That Old GE Engine I Do I'm Glad to Still See Those Old Engines Still Working along side Theses New Engines Wonder if Theses New Engines Will be Around as Long as Theses GE Engines Have been Thank You JT Your A Awesome Person AND Keep up the Awesome Videos Coming Take Care.

[@kennyspry5189]

@Joe Bien Sorry if I HURT Your Feelings The Old Saying Is Is It Is What It Is That GE Engine Is Old and Junkie And You ARE Right it is getting The Job Done for Now BUT WAIT Like JT Says CCET Could Make That Engine Beautiful With a Paint Job and Making Sure that Engines Repairs ARE Keeped Up THOSE Old GE Engines Need TCL to Keep Getting it Done NEVER Said I Didn't Like That Old GE Engine I Do I Like EMD ENGINES BETTER That's all As Long As Its About Railroads I Like It ALL Doesn't Matter What Engines ARE Getting it Done EMD Or GE Engines BOTH OF THEM Are AWESOME Engines Enjoy your Day.

The locomotive looks like one CCET purchased from CSX.

They got it from TransKentuckyTransportation Inc. TTI which is owned by CSX

nice horn on that unit. i'm glad you're doing this, i wish more people would have recorded trains through chillicothe and surrounding area on the B&O ohio division.

[@porkchop2218]

Nice video and vary educational Brian. Hi Mr. Mail man, now your famous. I like that sound I hear 12:12 what was that on the track?

[@JawTooth]

That's just where the rails are coupled together if that's what you mean. I like that sound also.

[@dumdum7786]

I thing that CCET is missing a big opportunity, they need to lease the whole railroad, that will allow them to be one of only two rail services between Portsmouth and Cincinnati.

[@beeble2003]

"One of only two" -- why does a town of 20,000 people need two rail connections to Cincinnati?

[@curtnicholson7771]

Jaws did you notice the top signal on the old signal tower was covered over? I thought that was interesting!

[@thepozfromoz5166]

Hate to see the old geep go but she's still gonna be active so that's a good thing!

[@Keith_WB2VUO]

So, the stored tank cars were alongside a concrete batch plant. Is there an asphalt planr there, too? I used to audit and inspect plants like that for construction and paving projects... Also, I remember a video where you stopped at a ham radio dealer. I think you bought a Wouxun dual-band handheld. Are you still using it? I run an old Icom V8 HT when out by the tracks.... de WB2VUO, Keith in Amherst, NY.
