Rain Problems, Switching Grain Spur, WET RAILS, LOW FUEL, BROKE SANDERS! Cincinnati East Terminal Ry

Locomotive unable to pull train due to wet rails. Locomotive wheels slipping on rail. Locomotive wheels spinning on slippery rail due to heavy train and poor railroad maintenance. I filmed this on Tuesday October 27, 2015 on the Peavine Line. This is Cincinnati East Terminal Railway CCET which is owned by Frontier Rail. You see them bringing in a long cut of empties and attempting to bring back 10 loads. It started raining, which made the rails slippery and the sanders on the locomotive where not operating. In addition, they were low on fuel! As a result, the train stalled just as they left town so they cut off 4 loads and tried to take 6 loads to Sardinia and double the train. However, that did not work and they stalled with the 6 loads so they had to leave them a mile west of Winchester and return light all the way to Broadwell Rd, Newtown! Close to 90 mile round trip just to refuel the locomotive! The next morning a truck load of fuel came and they were back in business. The locomotive returned and pulled the loaded railcars back. I made this video with KZbin Editor. However, they did away with KZbin Editor after I made this video. That removed all of the annotations that I had in this video telling you what was going on along with the locations and time. That happened to dozens of my best videos and now I don't know what to do about it other than repost the best one. Thanks a lot YT. Tabbed 11-26-17 with 7875. Thanks for watching!

In my career as a locomotive engineer PC, CR many a time when working an outlying yard with no engine house personal available I'd use my wrenches to take apart the sanders and remover the little rocks the eventually clogged them up and get them working again. Takes about 30-45 minutes and so worth the time invested. Good working sanders can make the day's work a pleasure versus slipping all over trying to get a cut of cars moving. Power was usually an old GP-8 or if I was real lucky a GP-15 which were less than a year old and oh so nice to run.

Awesome! Thanks for the comments!

A lot of folks do understand what takes to keep things moving along, especially when it is just you out there... Pride in workmanship goes a long way as well... I congratulate you in your work and safety ethics. .

[@davidvilabrera]

That Rock Island hopper was a great catch ! Brings back some good memories .

[@TJV64]

Love all your videos shine them rusty rails

[@JawTooth]

Thank you very much!

[@vernonmatthews181]

Thats pretty keen Railfanning in the rain JT, that colour scheme Yellow & Blue was once common in New Zealand, it was one of easily half a dozen, I live near a large rolling stock line known as Frankton ( Waikato ), NZ. Greetings from New Zealand. 😎👌👍

[@JawTooth]

Very cool! Greetings to you in New Zealand and thanks for watching Vernon!

[@billsedman4372]

nice fall color JT

[@nancylynch6045]

My brother often wonders why I watch all these boring train videos. Not boring at all!

[@JawTooth]

Thanks for watching!

[@westonoverland]

hey man, really appreciate your dedication to this railroad 🤘🏻

[@peckelhaze6934]

Super video.

[@deanstrand4260]

Man, was that horn ever loud!

[@JawTooth]

I use to be able to hear that horn from in side my house and that is a few miles away

Nice video, again on a rainy day. So many of them it seems!!!

[@JawTooth]

Many thanks! It rains way too much in Ohio

[@SUPERGENKI]

Great video Brian. And it was so funny, I could tell how you felt, when filming the loco - "damn.... there's a pole blocking my views".... then you waited a split second, and panned by it quickly...... GOOD ONE!!! ^^ Thumbs up, and have a great weekend.... Thomas

[@NBVideosPresents]

Great catch! It's hard to believe the sanders wheren't working while it was raining.

[@JawTooth]

+NBVideos Presents Yeah, the planning was off a little. Lol. It started raining right when they arrived at the mill. Thanks for watching

[@NBVideosPresents]

Jaw Tooth Your welcome and at lease you got your shower in xD

[@JawTooth]

NBVideos Presents I'm glad I got my haircut. I just wipe off the water and move on!

[@NBVideosPresents]

Jaw Tooth Lol works too

[@nathanpitts5319]

Jawtooth, Congratulations on doing such a nice job producing this video and all the others of yours that I have watched. Takes a good man to get nice steady shots. Some other vids, with shaky camera work, make me "seasick" almost! Looked at this grain elevator on Google. Trackage off the main line does not look great in the satellite photos. Looks like a nice place to be very CAREFUL! I love these old lines that are still hanging on. Keep up the great work! I am a recent subscriber but a nice FAN already.

[@jamesrobertson573]

I usually don't put a comment on this spot, but I have to say southern Ohio really coming alive. America would acpect to have to with steamboats on the Ohio River. Not quite America.

[@JawTooth]

I filmed some barges on the Monongahela River last week in Pennsylvania. I might post them

[@davebolyard6808]

Great videos I wish I could find more to watch thanks Dave

[@colin5296]

Man that rain ,just like Wales (UK) but not every day.

[@BaltimoreAndOhioRR]

Thumbs up 👍🚂

[@SawaFURU]

Hi...Very nice video. Thank you.!!

[@BeautyByLaShante]

cool video

[@orgcoast5990]

I just found this video. Thank you for the audio; very interesting listening to the ballet play out. The guy on the ground is ------? Also, do you know the vintage of 2807 and the switcher. I really enjoy watching short line switching in small town America. Really good stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@JawTooth]

Charles aka Irish was a conductor but got fired a couple years ago from CCET. It is ex Alaska Railroad and now is at Walla Walla Railroad. I have plenty of videos like this and more to post from all over the place

[@beeble2003]

2807 was built in May 1985, according to Wikipedia. EMD GP49.

[@michaelweilert1286]

raindrops keep falling on Jaw tooths they keep falling! I feel for you out in that rain but some buddy got to do it! so you got elected. Locomotive slipping due to poor maintenance I`ve not seen trains in Oregon or Washington have this problem but maybe because of UP, BN, SP, GN, keep the rails in good working order. it rains here a lot, in 2018 we got 56 inches of rain at my house and so far for 2019 25.35 as of 7-26-19. so you could live here you know, you would be one wet puppy! anyway, awesome video, stay out of the rain.

[@videophotography2794]

Jaw Tooth out... 👍This was very nice Jaw Tooth Thanks! It's kind of cold and rainy there I see.

[@JawTooth]

+Vlog Channel The only bad part about filming in the rain is getting my feet wet and trying to keep my cameras and radio dry. Thanks for watching!

[@videophotography2794]

+Jaw Tooth Aww yea just make sure you stay warm.

[@JawTooth]

Vlog Channel Thats for sure!

[@videophotography2794]

+Jaw Tooth Brian I am going to be taking my 1st train ride on January 16th. I am so excited about it and can't wait! I've been on subway trains before in New York back in 1988, and a Lil train at Busch Gardens, but never these kind that I love so much. It's Amtrak 97 Silver Meteor I will be riding on it goes 100 miles an hour. I asked my Mom was she scared lol. I just hope I don't feel the speed lol. I am so excited though. I just love train! And after watching all of your great train videos as well as many others, I just have to finally Get on Board!! 😉

[@JawTooth]

Vlog Channel That will be a lot of fun. Fast trains are exciting to ride on. Theres not many places in this country where they go that fast. I have never ridden one that fast. I think the fastest one I have been on was around 60 mph. Maybe you can bring your camera and film the scenery flying by.

[@NorfolkSouthernES44AC]

Great video!! Nice job filming & I really liked when you were pacing the train at 21.25

[@JawTooth]

+Norfolk Southern ES44AC Thank you very much!

[@combsjp]

Very nice coverage of 2807. You made a subscriber out of me!

[@patriciawilkinson7558]

Great video. Thanks for posting.

[@jodysmith8048]

Love the switcher!!!!

[@AlexandersChildhood]

nice video 👍

[@1960gambit]

Hard to believe that they couldn`t move 10 cars. I guess slick rails show just how important a little sand is, not to mention fuel weight as ballast. It would appear that they ran every day this week as best as I could tell from looking at the rails on Olive-Branch Road.

[@JawTooth]

+1960gambit They couldnt even pull 6 cars! Yeah, this was a good week. I hope I catch them bringing the tank cars out for storage.

[@astateato]

This is older but enjoyed watching! Thanks for all the great vids!!!

[@Livinginohio25]

Nice video! Really cool when you were chasing the loco.

[@JawTooth]

+Union Pacific 1982 Thank you!!

[@daveyboy_]

Aint nothing like watching slow shortline in the fall

[@robertheinkel6225]

A single engine going down the track, looks so lonely.

[@richardp950]

nice-I watched all and i put a like on this too

[@howarth004]

Good to see them working on switching

[@JawTooth]

+David Howarth Its fun watching how they do the switching. They have to plan it out and use strategy. It reminds me of Chess.

[@denisetindall1487]

I like train videos on KZbin 👍

[@DarkVoidIII]

This video is so old the video playback was doing funny things to power poles, engines, and rolling stock. :D I figure the encoding was affected by something that changed between then and now, gotta love seeing flex-o-matic power poles, engines, and rolling stock! Wasn't too bad so I enjoyed it very much! :D

[@JawTooth]

That was the old KZbin Editor. It was terrible. I wish I could get my video back to its original state and redo the video with the current editor that I use. KZbin Editor did that to a lot of peoples videos. It is caused by trying to remove the shaky parts of the video. It sucked. I bought a new camera with built in stabilizer in stead

[@DarkVoidIII]

@@JawTooth If you had the original video it could be uploaded again. That said, having large amounts of drive space for video uploads is often not feasible for the casual KZbin content creator. You did what you could! Have a wonderful day regardless! :D

[@CounselingAndASL]

thumbs up!

[@sifouniospottery]

Another great video my friend.I always enjoy it!!! Sifoutv Pottery

[@deepspire]

You'd think that rusty rails would grab the wheels better. But either way the amount of rain is irrelevant, other than just keeping the rails from drying.

[@scottchilds978]

DAMN IT ! lol

[@JawTooth]

It was a bad day for them

[@rgsnidow1]

They should've brought a tape measure with em...lol

[@NJPurling]

How far does the main line go beyond the crossing at the junction of the grain spur?

[@JawTooth]

That crossing is at MP 57.7 and the line goes to MP 105 where it ties into Norfolk Southern main line near Portsmouth Ohio. They haven't run a train past MP 63 in a few years but they are planning on reopening the line to MP 78.45 to service a quarry once the tracks are rebuilt. Thanks for watching!

[@colemanerik]

Guess they didn't have the fuel for the black stallion? :p

[@JawTooth]

+colemanerik 2806 wasn't operating that day. I think it had mechanical issues.

[@jime1937]

Gotca!

[@kawaii6365]

A Thumbs Up From kzbin.info

[@JawTooth]

+Boing+ (Staff) Thank you!!

[@raybankes7668]

i would think it save a bunch of money to hire a local fuel jobber to bring out 2000 gal or fuel and fuel the locomotive rather than dead head 90 miles let alone the extra pay in wages. let the engineer ride back with the MOW crew. i dont get that. they could have fueled the little switcher at the same time? no?

[@JawTooth]

I know, right?! It baffled me too. Lol. thanks for watching one of my videos!

[@bobaroo58]

What is the model of the air horn on the 2897?
