Look At This View! CSX & Norfolk Southern Trains Passing At Lafayette Amtrak Station In Indiana!

Huge Trains With DPU Locomotives At A College Town In Indiana. Great View Of Trains Passing Right Below Me At The Amtrak Station In Lafayette, Indiana. 2 Mile Long CSX Train With DPU In The Middle Stops To Let A Couple Norfolk Southern Trains Pass. We See The Pedestrian Bridge Over 3 Main Line Tracks That Lead To A Railroad Yard To The East And A Quick Look At The City.
I haven't been here in years. I came here hoping to film a Triple Crown Road Railer passing under me. However, on the day that I was there I didn't see any Road Railer trains. The first train is a huge CSX train with a mid train DPU. This train passed most of the way by me and then stopped for a couple of Norfolk Southern trains.
I got views of NS trains passing by from both sides of the tracks. I also walked over the Wabash River to East Lafayette to the side where Purdue University is. It was too far from the tracks so I went back to the Amtrak station. When I was by the river I got a few tiny yellow ants on me that bit me on the neck. Those things really hurt.
After I left here I went to Delphi, Indiana. See my videos from Delphi. One Delphi video is already posted. I am working on one right now with the Triple Crown Road Railer that I filmed passing there on a curve.
Don't miss the Live Action Pets and the slide show that comes from the video.

189 cars and a mid-train DPU! My kind of train. The DPU is no surprise, considering that around 75 of these cars were full of steel! Can you imagine the weight? It has to be staggering! Best catch of the day, JT! 😃😃😃😃😃❤❤❤❤❤

I agree with you and I was glad to see a DPU. Thanks for watching Gary!

41:14 That bridge is the KBS railroad, that line runs between Lafayette and Kankakee. Its easy to chase because US 52 parallels most of the route in Indiana and it has a 20-25 mph speed limit.

[@thaddaeuswilson3248]

A great shot

[@centralplains7608]

On that train with the loud thumping sound that stopped, it sounded as if one wheel pair on a hopper joined to the flat car was derailed and riding across the railroad ties.

[@kimscheie]

Strange sound dragging something?

[@Kingninewillnotreturn56]

Definitely sounded like something dragging on ties or a wheel off. Been great if you could seen from ground level. Guess it’ll get figured out, especially if it leaves the track 😮.

[@user-ey6vs9fk3n]

I really enjoy your videos. That is a beauty of a train station. Gosh that first train was sooo long. I've never seen one that long. I didn't see anyone counting cars, maybe they lost count by falling asleep. Nice an old SP box car. Used to see them all the time here in California. Another thing I miss is the caboose at the end. Stay safe, stay cool. Been hearing about all the heat and severe weather over in your area.

[@JawTooth]

Thanks 👍 I really appreciate it! That does help. I can't figure out how they knew I was over on the time. I saw one guy standing by my truck and looking at it when I was a little distance away. I was going to move it but I was wondering what he was doing so I stayed back and watched. Then a city truck pulled up and a guy put the ticket on the windshield. At that point I figured it out and it made me a little sick. I can't remember ever having that happen. Thanks for your support with it!

[@benbaker2965]

Tippecanoe was where a famous battle took place between several indigenous tribes and Governor Harrison of the Indiana Territoy in 1811. It means something about river full of fish. Chief Tecumseh was protesting a land treaty that was agreed upon by another tribe. Harrison won the battle, and on his way out burned all the idigenous winter stores. He earned the nickname Tippecanoe for his victory and used the slogan Tippecanoe and Tyler Too when he ran for president. Tecumseh on the other hand had a cigar store Indian named after him. There are other places named Tippecanoe in Iowa, Ohio and Pennsylvania. I do not know the origins of those names but my guess would be named for President Harrison.

[@owenmasseytodd]

Next time you are in western Indiana check out the triple crossing just west of Valparaiso. It's where the CN (former EJ&E) crosses "under" the NS and Chicago, Fort Wayne & Eastern tracks to bypass Chicago. There's also a cool RR themed restaurant in Valpo and an Inn in the old Chesterton depot. Chesterton is also a hot-bed of action including Amtrak high speed trains on their way to Detroit. If that wasn't enough there are two G-scale outdoor layouts in the area; one in nearby Sunset Hill Park and the other a little further west at Gabis Arboretum.
