People Dumping At Railroad, Huge Trains Knock Down Classic B&O Signals Still In Use! Dump Is Mine!!

Truck caught dumping at railroad, Huge Trains Knock Down ancient B&O trackside signals and the huge Coal Train that my grand dad tole me about! Son, I struck gold by getting the dirt! These classic Baltimore And Ohio Railroad colour position signals are still in use on this busy CSX main line railroad also used by Norfolk Southern, Indiana & Ohio Railway and Amtrak. This railroad is in Cincinnati near Spring Grove Cemetery along the Mill Creek on Canal Ridge Road. Cincinnati Queensgate Yard is just to the south. Right after I got here I saw a truck drive by with dirt and scrap wood. I got curious and peeked around the curve to see what they were doing. I noticed them dumping something off the truck so I filmed the truck when they left and then went over to see what they dumped by the tracks. It turned out to be some nice looking clean dirt. I did a soil analysis on it and determined it to be topsoil with a nice dark brown colour, silty clay loam texture and sub angular blocky structure. The dark brown topsoil turned light brown with some grays and pebbles the deeper that it went below the grass line. It was further determined that I could put this soil to use! I got a third or so of the soil on my truck along with some wood and then filmed a humongous mixed freight followed by one of the coal trains that Gramps tole me about as a child. It was heavy one! Gramps tole me about the coal trains and coal mining in eastern Kentucky but he died young of Black Lung before I could appreciate his coal mining stories. I use to love going to visit my relatives in the coal mining areas of eastern Kentucky. The tracks were right across the road from their home and there was a tunnel there. They knew where I was at. I watched the coal trains and got to get in the cabooses. Today all those tracks are gone and the Tuttle home is gone also.
Anyway, check out these long trains and enjoy the coal train because there just ain't many of them left in this area. You have to look real close at the signals to see them go from a clear signal to a red block when the locomotives pass them. I can see them change so I hope that everyone else can see them change also. Filmed June 1, 2021. Thanks for watching! Please thumbs up and watch another JawTooth video to help my channel.

I counted 219 cars and compartments on the first train. There was an unusual amount of cars with flat spots. I could not count them but I think there was 8 to 10 cars with flat spots. To the best of my knowledge that is the longest regular train I have ever seen in the US. There were some test trains ran with more cars, but I’m not sure what came out of those tests. The longest train I ever ran was 207 cars and a little over two miles long. It was two train put together when we were detouring over the KCS in the 70s. On a foggy night one of our trains ran into the counterbalance of a draw bridge that was raised up, but the signal was still displaying a clear (green) signal. It took several months to rebuild that bridge. It was a mess and nearly every train we ran tied up on the hours of service law. So we were very short on crews and they were combining trains together.

Hey JAWTOOTH if you need dirt and fill just put out an advertisement, to all the landscapers in your area. They always have issues getting rid of the dirt. And if you are going to take the dirt off their hands i bet they will be more then happy to bring it too you.

[@patriciajones4744]

That was a great idea about the dirt. In so many states if your digging u have to watch for those big red stinging fire ants. You wouldn't be able to pick up the clumps of grass and dirt without finding fire ants crawling around in it. They are hard to kill. Stay safe. 🐓🌟🐾🎸

[@kevinshiley9061]

Hi Jawtooth! I sent a few pics by email of the route the coal hoppers follow through town and some of the crossings here in Windber, PA. Unfortunately they don't have a set schedule. The safety guy follows the train until it gets to Altoona and was very nice. He said if you ever wanted, you could follow him to get you shots. They pull, either Tuesday or Thursday and they are about ready now. 115 hoppers of coal and three NS engines pulling and 3 engines pushing. The guys at the tipple usually know when they will make a run. It goes right through town and through the midway, crossing all the side streets. I can't make it down, I just heard the horns blowing.

[@JawTooth]

Wow, Windber would be a great place to film a coal train. I would love to film one there going through downtown. that would be awesome!

JT, please be wary of anything somebody dumps from a pickup truck when no one is around! There is usually a reason for picking those kind of spots. Who is to say that dirt is not contaminated in some way? Perhaps a chemical spill of toxic material? Always wise to be cautious. Great location for viewing trains. Long line of sight in both directions. With those long trains you need it!

[@cherylbredestege5109]

To Ol' Dad, in all probability, that coal is going to AK Steel in Middletown, about 40 miles North. Steepest part of the grade is from Glendale to Fairfield, that's why no DPUs. To Bill Morris, that CPL signal is Medium Clear for the NS train, that is green over white indication. Medium speed through junctions with power switches. That NS train is going to Sharonville ( old NYC, Big 4 ) and probably on to Dayton and Columbus.

[@daf827]

Did I miss a DPU, or did that 219-car freight have just the two units in the lead? Mind boggling pulling power. Many must have been empties, right? I was curious about that “No Trespassing” sign on the bridge. It appeared to have a picture on it of some sort. And yes, good dirt is always useful on a farm. I’m glad the guy didn’t dump anything toxic.

[@johnweiner]

On the long coal train, you hear a lot of "clunking" as the car pass. Is this due to flat places on the wheels? If so, why aren't the wheels maintained properly.

[@MillerMeteor74]

That reminds me of a couple years ago when I was parked along a dirt road near a lake, eating my lunch and just chilling. The dirt road had curbs along it. Well suddenly I happened to look in my mirror and saw a pickup approaching from behind me, way back. When he got near the lake he drove up over the curb and then backed up to the woods, with the lake to his left and the road to his right. I saw him push stuff off the back of the truck, and then he left. I got a little closer and saw that it was old fire wood, like chunks of old logs. So I called the local PD, and the dispatcher said the truck sounded familiar, and they think they knew who it might have been. Wow. Well even though it was biodegradable stuff I hope they caught up with him and took care of the situation.

[@JawTooth]

My wife caught a couple of guys dumping tires on our farm. She told them to get rid of the tires and they actually picked them up and appologized.

I counted 95 cars on the coal train. It two had a unusually high number of cars with flat spots, around 6 to 8. You zoomed in on one near the end of the train that was really loud and possibly out of limits, (too long.). Then there was on the last or next to last car. I was surprised there was not a DPU on that train too. It was over 13,000 tons. Those two engines were enough for flat ground but I know y’all have some mountains / hills to get over. Maybe they are still using pushers to climb grades.

[@tspenceriii]

This kind of train lengths needs to stop. There is no way this is safe, especially with such a mix of loads. If these trains break apart, catch a stop signal, experience motive power failure, they can quite easily block emergency vehicles in small towns leading v to burned down structures, lost lives, and so forth. This is a classic case of railroad management greed gone amok.
