Almost Street Running Trains In Crowded City & Inside Caboose, Ferry Boat & 5 Trains River Fest Days

Trains Going Right Through The Town With Sidewalks On Both Side Of Tracks! 5 Trains & Inside A Caboose During Riverfest Days! Ferry Boat, Western Maryland Locomotive, 600+ Axle Train & Industrial Spur In Town Close Look At Rail. Augusta, Kentucky Trains On CSX Ohio River Line. This Line Cuts Between The Home With Great Railfan Homes In A Peaceful Ohio River Town.
Augusta, Kentucky was having their annual 3 day event called Augusta Riverfest. This is a family event with food, numerous vendors, beauty pageant and live bands. They also have a caboose on display that you can walk through and look at displays inside it. The town has a ferry boat that goes across the river to Ohio. For me, taking the ferry can shave over 20 miles off my trip in one direction. I had my scanner with me so I could listen for the trains. Best frequencies here are 160.230 for the road channel and 452.9375 for EOT. There is a nearby defect detector so by monitoring these frequencies you can get about a ten minute warning per train. It really paid off for me. Each time I heard a train approaching I made a leisurely stroll a few blocks to the tracks and had plenty of time.
I got to Augusta just a little after 11am on a Saturday morning and the first train came at 1:52pm eastbound. That was a long one but they were all long trains. I went back to the festival to check out everything and before I knew it I heard a train approaching westbound at 5:27pm. I show my radio up close and then head back to the festival.
I was just getting in line for a drink when I heard my scanner start chirping for the EOT of another westbound train. This train came through town at 6:16pm and blessed me with the Western Maryland Heritage Unit! That was my first time to see that CSX special locomotive and I am told it has only been out a little over a month. That was really an awesome surprise!!! I heard someone in a car asking about that unit but I was still filming and by the time I was done filming they were gone. I felt kind of bad about that but I hope they see this video and understand.
I went back to checking out the bands and just before 9pm I started picking up action on the radio. The Jacksonville, Florida dispatcher was talking to an eastbound train so I went to the Main Street railroad crossing and waited for it. I was able to get a quick picture of the line side signal. This train came through town at 8:56pm and was booking pretty good. Just had enough light left so the timing was perfect. The ferry boat stopped running at 8pm so I had to take the long way home.
I had to drive about 16 miles up river to get to the bridge that crosses into Ohio. I drove about 10 miles and then looked over and noticed that I caught up to the 4th train. I never planned that so I went to the bridge, pulled over and filmed the other side of the train. I kept hearing the chirping on my radio but I didn't think anything about catching up to the train. They must have slowed down somewhere. I filmed that train at 9:25pm on the eastern edge of Maysville, Kentucky.
When I went over the bridge I noticed that the red light for the intersection was gone. A closer look and I determined that the light was not working at all. It was completely dark out and the red light was totally dark as if it weren't there. That was odd and people were just driving through and yielding. I guess someone unplugged it. Lol

[@sanddabz5635]

Hey JT, what a cool tour of Augusta Kentucky. The ferry was very interesting and how it's connected by an arm to the barge itself and swings 180° depending upon which direction of the river it's going, I've never seen that before and the old faded advertising on the side of the building there at 25:33 was a real treat......even though I had no clue what it was. Your hard work and effort is noticed and appreciated by all your fans here, especially myself.

[@MMID303]

Looks like an awesome town. Love your videos and how you show us other interesting things.

[@JawTooth]

Thanks for watching!

[@garymiller5937]

The second mixed freight was nearly as long as the first! This one had 120 cars while the first was 135. This one had anew untagged yellow box car that looked brand new. Another awesome train, JT! Fabulous trains in a beautiful river town! How could it get any better? Thank you, my friend! 😃😃😃😃❤❤❤❤

[@GraceCook-g1l]

Not sure I'd want to live that close. That 2nd train was booking. Any idea how fast? That festival looked like a fun way to spend a day. Rail and riverboat is a nice combination. That red and white one was a doozi. WOW you're cooking tonite-5 trains and 3 long ones. How cool was that salute? Looked like you had two heritage units. Well done.

[@amelierenoncule]

Here in France, as a young girl, I befriended an elderly poor man, of our church. He was poor his entire life, and so was forced to always live aside RR-tracks...the cheapest area of the city. The stories he told me about the passing trains and crews !

[@thomashahn6592]

Jawtooth, I highly recommend the tour of the Clooney House. It's where Rosemary spent the last years of her life before passing in 2002. Her nephew George graduated from Augusta High School and used to have a place in town that was a highly guarded secret - very few knew when he cane to visit. We took the tour of the home circa 2004 shortly after Steve and Heather French Henry purchased it and opened it as a museum. In fact, Steve - former Lt. Governor of Kentucky - gave us the tour. August is a great little spot along the river!

[@kennethfuller8347]

I saw a vid, and stills, of the WM heritage unit when it rolled out of the shops in Waycross. That unit has a special significance to me because I was born and raised in Cumberland, MD when the Western Maryland was in it's prime, around the time when the railroad was being absorbed by the Chessie System. The WM basically ran through our backyard, and my grandpap was a conductor for them. I've been a railfan ever since. Of all the railfan vids I watch, JT, you're the first one to capture this unit in service. Thanks for taking us along with you to Augusta .. pretty cool little town with a lot of history .. I was so excited to see the WM heritage unit .. Excellent vid, JT, thanks again.

[@periwinkle-dragonfly]

What a beautiful little town on the river. Loved this one very much, JT! The ferry reminds me of my happy place...we took a similar ferry across the Columbia river from Washington to Oregon once upon a time 10 years ago next month. It held 15 cars and was $5 per car each way. I absolutely LOVED that ferry!! I could have gone back and forth all day, but hubs said we needed to move on to the Oregon coast.

[@louGriggs1944]

Always love the trains but also love your local sights tours too. Thanks for a great one.

[@kenster865]

Thank you for touring around Augusta. It was a solid treat for me as I continue to look for places to buy a 2nd home outside of So. California where I've been all my life. Augusta is one dynamite town!! BTW, I looked at that house for sale that you noted right next to the tracks. It's gorgeous inside, completely updated and clean. The one big drawback for me, personally: No garage of any size. That's a deal-breaker as I have three vehicles, two are sporty cars, and I need at minimum a 1-2 car garage. There is also one very special place there for sale; the General John Payne's place at 102 Ferry St. It's a jaw-dropping, magnificent place right on the river. It was built in 1792. It's been so well restored it looks like it was built within the last 5 years... Simply amazing. It may seem pricey but you'd be shocked to see the crap going for similar $$'s here in SoCal. There's NO comparison, none at all!! Thanks again, buddy!!

[@alschuler5437]

I never noticed before this video the "Home Shop For Repairs Do Not Load" green decals that I saw on 5 tankers near the front of the first train. Great video!!!

Thank you for taking us to the Augusta, Kentucky River Fest on 20 July 2024, Jaw Tooth! I enjoyed the walk around town to see the Rosemary Clooney House and the tour of the caboose. The operation of the ferry boat was also neat to see. I was surprised that there was so much sunlight still available at 9 PM when you caught the last train in Augusta, Kentucky. The trains that you caught in Augusta, Kentucky had a variety of freight cars in them. The CSX Western Maryland Heritage unit was a total surprise at the front of the train. (Posted on 23 July 2024 at 1535 CDT.)
