Rarest Train In Ohio! Dupps Railroad Tiny Locomotive Struggles & Pulls Giant Freight Cars! Part 2

[@petermagoun7457]

Definitely one of your best videos! There is nothing like a train suddenly appearing traveling across seldom-used tracks with overgrown vegitation through a corn field and then disappearing into the woods. Really great ambience. Nice work!

[@JawTooth]

Thank you very much!

[@NorCaliRailroading2023]

​@@JawTooththis is the second time this month you have caught the dupps running right?

Hey totally agree with your Comments.....I don't know why it feels good to see people doing Something that most people Wouldn't understand...We thick its cool you understand the value of railway..It's neat that the "DUPPS" COMPANY SEES THIS......BELIEVE IT SOME PEOPLE DONT SEE YOUR OPPORTUNITIES.....WE HAVE SOME COMMISSIONIERS IN SKAGIT THAT TOOK A 11 MILLION DOLLARS GARBAGE CONTRACT FROM BNSF .........THEY ARE GOING BY TRUCKSNOW....EACH YEAR THEY ARE SPENDING $66,000 MORE OUT OF THEIR BUDGETS....OH,OH NOW GET THIS THEY ARE RAISING TAXES BY ........YOU GUESS IT $66,000 .....AMAZING HEA......THEY GOT COLLEGE EDUCATION ......I GUESSED. 😅😮😢😢😢😢😢😢❤

[@markeverett48]

It was one of your greatest “ The Little Engine That Could”. I think that was the title of an old children’s book about a little engine. That is what railroading is about in its simplest mode. Keep up the great work and God Bless!

[@JawTooth]

Well said!

[@mham1330]

From the book there is Thomas the Tank Engine and the Island of Sodor.😀

[@eottoe2001]

Brian, haven't been to this one but I find it funny that the trains and places you and I look at without ever running into one another, are our everyday trains to us, but thousands of people are interested in them, too, from around the world. Thanks for teaching me to appreciate what is here in Ohio more.

[@bobcollins3762]

I rarely comment on anyone’s videos, but I gotta say, that was one of the coolest little trains I’ve ever seen. Great job filming, and thanks for sharing!!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@JawTooth]

Glad you enjoyed it! You should also check out the little electric train I filmed in Iowa. The Iowa Traction Railway in Mason City is really cool. I filmed it a few years ago and the locomotives are a hundred years old. Its very rare for freight service like that just like the Dupps

[@verneord]

Absolutely, the rarest train video of the year. Wish there was a Golden Globe award for train enthusiast videos.

[@Og-Judy]

Those rendering machines Dupps makes are massive! Holy moly.

[@JawTooth]

They sure are. I would like to see one in operation

[@curtisdavis5556]

This has got to be one of your best railfan videos. certainly the most beautiful and interesting. Thank you.

[@JawTooth]

Wow, thanks!

[@vernonmatthews181]

Love how @ "2:11" that little red critters butterfly 🦋 exhaust position LH rear pops up rather like a farm tractor 🚜 It is sure small but just right for the operation. A year ago, worked Google hard, this client has a pleasant front entrance to its reception from the well tended lawns & gardens on the roadway ❤

[@garymiller5937]

That's an awesome shot of them going across the bridge! 😊😊❤

[@firetommy2140]

OMG! What a shot when the train stopped on the trestle over the creek! Beautiful!

[@SouthCoastRailVideos]

That’s amazing! I love obscure stuff like this.

[@JawTooth]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@rodsmith3911]

Waited for a long time to see a train on the Dupps branch! Well worth the wait. Thanks for the great shots crossing the road and the bridges. It may be a bit of a come down from the days when it was a main line but it sure makes a lovely sight and a very interesting video. Certainly ranks among your best! Thanks J. T.

[@dougblalock5175]

I remember long ago you mentioned that you wanted to get a video of this little operation. Excellent job!

[@musclecarmitch908]

Cool little engine! Thanks for sharing Jawtooth! Awesome shots on the bridge's!👍

[@vernonmatthews181]

Looking Forward to it, thanks J T & Dupps. 😊

[@JawTooth]

Us too! I am having trouble scheduling it though

[@vernonmatthews181]

​@@JawTooththanks for the balance of Dupps #2 on the Detroit / Toledo & Ironton line.😊 Great you had Scott ( 1960 Gambit ) with you. Some of this five mile track is quite remote. ❤

[@brianhickey5949]

Those big flat cars can carry some awesome weight I bet :) Very cool!

[@DavidBishop-c7w]

This line was the former Cincinnati Northern, later New York Central (CCC&StL), Penn Central, Conrail, not DT&I as mentioned. Actually the Cincinnati Northern Wikipedia page provides a good history of this line. This Dupps line is also referred to as Germantown Rail Siding. Thanks

[@constanttraveler]

Yep, I did a long comment about this on a previous video concerning this line. I also answered his question about the spur line in Troy and how best to catch a train on it. I don’t think he reads the vast majority of comments

[@nelsonhaley9580]

Nice of the crew and train to stop and pose for great photo op.

[@Og-Judy]

​​@@nelsonhaley9580Stated in video they stopped to close a gate on the bridge. Keep trespassers off I imagine.

[@thomasmackowiak]

Thank you for this splendid video of the Dupps engine dragging the two heavy duty flat cars from the CSX interchange in Carlisle, Ohio to Germantown, Ohio. I enjoyed watching this little engine moving along the former Detroit, Toledo & Ironton Railroad tracks.

[@williamralph5442]

Best video ever JT. Looked like a small steam engine disappearing into the cornfield. Would be awesome to see the return with loaded flat cars..thanks.

[@jeffreymcfadden9403]

Not former DT&I. DT&I never ran over this line. Former Cincinnati Northern, CCC&STl, NYC, PC, CR. It originally ran to Jackson , Michigan. Severed north of Ansonia , OHIO just after PC. PC/CR ran this as a brachline/bypass line until 1982/83. Only the southern most 5 miles are still down. Some tracks remain in Greeneville.

[@constanttraveler]

Real good info. Did you work for the railroad? I grew up in West Manchester and it broke my heart when they tore this line out and one that went through east to west with a diamond right near my house. The two lines were also connected by a wye track. Amtrak used the east and west for a brief time.

[@JeffreyReedy-tm2xw]

NS should have kept it or CSX could have used it as a short cut to Brookville before they took out the old B&O and Pennsylvania Railroad line out from the West side of Dayton all the way to Indy going via Pennsylvania Railroad line or I think Muncie or Marion, Indiana on the B&O.

[@patrickjohnson5245]

This video is so cool, not only because of the locomotive, but also the fact that there's another functional 25 Tonner about 20 minutes from my house in Southwest Virginia. And for whatever reason, it has a steam whistle!

[@waynecasey6375]

Awesome video, thank you so much for doing it! I love it reminds me a lot of CSX train lines, upstate New York, going over creeks, and bridges

[@stevenpitts6665]

That was a great video! Industrial railways are my thing. Thank you for enduring the heat and humidity so that this old coot can watch in comfort while my wife is out spending my money.

[@JawTooth]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@garymiller5937]

That's an extremely loud horn on the switch engine. I guess you could say it's heavy duty also. 😊😊😊

[@rogertemple7193]

The Dupps railroad line was very interesting to view and see, they only use it a few times a year for special things I guess but another great video with cameo appearances by the pets and the slide show of the train, Thanks Jaw Tooth.🤠🐶😸👍 🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🇺🇲💨

[@RodrigoSousaFerrovias]

So nice video my friend! Beautiful locomotive !

[@wafflesnfalafel1]

super vid sir - thank you. Love those bridge shots, interesting their crossbucks have a yield sign on them too. But the very best part was the beginning where the brakes on the two heavy flats hadn't come off yet - the little engine that could! "I think I can, I think I can...."

[@JawTooth]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@davesmith4957]

Well done Jawtooth! It’s awesome to see this little critter doing some real work! This would be a great industry for a model railroad too.

[@garymiller5937]

Those are definitely heavy duty flat cars! 😊😊😊❤

[@erikmcc804]

I've been to Germantown Ohio outside of Dayton Ohio. I didn't have enough time to stop by the Dupps private railroad 3 years ago!!! I hope to make a return trip to Germantown Ohio in the near future!!!

[@JawTooth]

They also have a covered bridge in Germantown and the Veterans Park is really cool

[@mikebell7634]

Great start to this video, Jaw Tooth!! Well worth the wait for Part II of the Dups RR!!

[@rockytibby1196]

I truly appreciate your hard work in these videos. These are sights of railroads I’d never of know of known about otherwise. You do a amazing job in your videos. Thank you

[@JawTooth]

Thank you very much!

[@silverbells24]

Thats one of the coolest engines I've ever seen. That horn could probably wake up a whole neighborhood tho 😂

[@bluesboyst]

Great video. That must have been awesome when DT&I was running. Welded rail too. I am surprised they don’t flag the crossings

[@JawTooth]

That would be cool! I wish I could have seen that

[@Howoldareweanywayyipes]

It's neat how you know your way around the neighborhood to meet up with the Dupps train again and again.

[@ArchTeryx00]

I'm quite surprised that they actually managed to shift those two K-class flatcars with a 25-ton critter. Those are big, heavy cars, even empty; it looked like they had to manually disengage the brakes to actually get that giant pile of steel moving. There's something unique about critters and just how amazing a tractive effort, proportionately, those tiny engines have. Ton for ton, they're some of the best pullers out there.

[@JawTooth]

Thanks for watching!

[@ArchTeryx00]

@@JawTooth Oh, I always love seeing critters in action. The big steamers and huge locos like the GEVo get all the glory, but these little locomotives do some of the hardest work, and a lot of industries and workshops still use them to shift small numbers of cars and locomotives around. It's really too bad that Dupps doesn't run much more regular trains; there's a lot of potential there.

[@dalelinton7716]

Excellent catch! Great video crossing the two bridges. Epic footage!

[@JawTooth]

Thank you very much!

[@WilliamD.Hazlett-cr4gm]

The critter was having problems moving the flat cars because CSX spotted them cars on the shortline's siding and "Tied them down" they had the hand brakes on, as soon as these guys figured it out, they were able to pull them out. The Big railroads always "Tie the cars down" to keep them from moving by vandals weather etc.

[@mikewigim2864]

That makes sense. I thought they might have an air line issue with the brakes that kept them from releasing. . Obviously, I was wrong!

[@rb810810]

I was wondering if it was hand brakes, too!

[@55VickyV]

I also thought they still had brakes on.

[@slowb4lls1]

I knew it had to be that, their like man this thing ain’t hitting then Tom Sawyer the brakeman walks back and checks the hand brakes, boom, they roll lol

[@erie910]

Surprised that the crew didn't do an air test. The train might be in yard/restricted limits, but if I were on the crew, I would want to be sure that I had working brakes.

[@tombryant1104]

Defiantly a great video, that Dupps engine is nothing short of cute!! Probably last thing you'll hear but till recently I'd never heard of DT&I railroad. Recently I bought a lot of N scale locomotives for my wife's layout(her dad worked for NPBL). Anyway, there is a bright orange DT&I loco in the group that I think is absolutely cool.

[@Philcameraman-ce2nl]

This was one of the best videos ever anywhere Tks

[@davidpulaski5628]

How can you not just love that Dupp's "Little Engine That Could" engine ??? Too damn cute and yes, "JT", it has to be absolutely one of your baddest video productions !!! A+++ all the way. Stay safe out there. 👍👍👍

That little locomotive is rolling some coal. Nice chase men.

[@hestheMaster]

NIce little train catch. Definitely rarely see stuff JT. Trackage is the old Big Four. Before that it was Cincinnati Northern in Germantown,OH. Station there predates the CN from 1896 when the Cinncinnati, Jackson and Mackinaw built it!

[@JawTooth]

Thanks for the info! I have videos of other left over remnants that are still in use

[@nancyhodges444]

Awesome video JT, so cool seeing this little engine pulling hard on these HD flat cars. And yes the bridge shot was pretty cool. Nice job JT and stay cool.

[@dtj9923]

I love that there are still a few of these little 25 ton GE end cab units soldiering on around the world. Great catch! It clearly needs help from a safety orange 23 ton GE boxcab to get that train moving. ❤❤❤

[@robertmunguia6172]

I don't know how you will top this one this is cool this little engine has power nice 👍 😎 😀

[@MAGronemeyer]

I thought that you were going to live stream this video yesterday. I watched 1960 Gambit's video of this Dupps switcher locomotive last evening. More than likely, CSX will bring some regular locomotives to pull those loaded flat cars of rendering equipment to their main line, because the Dupps switcher locomotive wouldn't have the strength to pull those loaded flat cars to the main line. It barely had to pull those flat cars empty. I hope3 you can catch the load being pulled out of there once the flat cars are loaded. Interesting video of a seldom used railroad siding.

[@kimscheie]

Little duppy has a sander ...kool thin, brakes onncars were stuck a bit ...that loooks koool ! Thx guys

[@BigKevsPlace1]

The only cooler (where have I heard the word “cool” before, lol) video is to catch the Dupps locomotive on that long bridge with the trees and their leaves in their Autumn color glory!! Then, blow up the bridge and watch the engine fall into the water much like the Bridge on the River Kwai!!

[@williambryant5946]

The only way to top this would be to get video of them taking the cars loaded with the huge equipment back to the interchange.

[@t.j.carroll8512]

Yes, really cool video. If a defect detector said 18 axles, I would have thought 6 axle engine and 3 cars so real unique train. I started watching 1 hour after you dropped the video and you already had 1,679 views. You are popular. Thanks for sharing. 👍

I grew up in Germantown I remember the big ones rolling through town. Info The Depot in the park used to set wear the post office is today, it was relocated and set beside the Historic "1870" Bowspring Covered Bridge spanning a Little Twin Creek ( the only of its kind ) with Community Support ,Weidle sand and gravel and guess who the Dupps Company The Depot was relocated to its now spot in Veterans Memorial Park. The Caboose was a donation by the Gentry Brothers of Germantown one still sits beside the drive-through on Jefferson Street the other was moved to Veteran's Memorial Park by Guess Who the Dupps Company. If you further investigate the Caboose on Jefferson Street ( the drive-thru) there is another tracks that run north from Market Street South those two big barns used to be tobacco barns the tracks are under gravel until you get to the drive-thru where the caboose and that wheel stop.... Year and Year ago there was an actual little Ice House that set up beside the tracks....Damn I just feeling Old! 😃😆😭😁🐂
