NKP 765 whistles through Lakewood, OH - 05/12/2013

[@beauusa11]

My father was a locomotive engineer On a new your central railroad.. And used to go from Conneaut to Buffalo. My mother used to tell me stories when I was younger that She can always tell when he was coming home by the way blew the whistle and could start making dinner.. I still go to the railroad history Museum in Conneaut Ohio. To see the things that he left to them before he passed. Miss you DAD…

You choose my street, Marlowe ave and 2 of my best friends use to live in that white house as NKP 765 passed on by. I was born and raised in Lakewood for going on 27 years. But unfortunately I just started my job as a train railroad conductor on the Cedar Point & Lake Erie Railroad at Cedar Point amusement park. NKP 765 has a good role by and a good marker.

There are some really dumb people there....standing like that around the tracks is just plain ignorant. That is exactly what will bring and end to steam excursions like these.

[@robkrasinski6217]

I’m sure Norfolk Southern noticed and here we are with no more mainline steam excursions on NS. They only allow 765 to deadhead to places like CVSR now where the liability for excursions is CVSR’s responsibility. 765 only had a brief three years of public excursions on NS in recent years, 2013, 2014, 2015. At least I rode behind it twice in PA, the May 2013 Horseshoe Curve excursion and the August 2015 excursions from Bethlehem to Pittston over NS and RBMN.

[@dragonbornzero1392]

Yeah exactly not only for the peoples safety, but for the engineers sanity. If they hit someone they would have to live with that grief knowing they couldn’t do anything to stop it

[@simonclarke7309]

What adoration will bring an end ??

[@spikespa5208]

4:10 Gotta find that penny.

[@FS2K4Pilot]

@@dragonbornzero1392”If”? It’s not usually a matter of “if”.

[@nstrains123]

holy grade crossings lol

[@AdhamOhm]

27 crossings in 2 miles. o.O Every few years there is talk to have most of the crossings closed except for the main streets, but the city government argues that it would create a huge traffic nightmare and it wouldn't be worth the cost.

[@Thej611]

+Felamine I would think this already causes traffic problems lol

[@dragonbornzero1392]

Ikr

[@dennisternent2974]

Never mind all the grade crossings. What about all the people standing on the tracks.

[@johnwilliams6200]

Dennis Tennant I agree their lives are important but these town folks are being careless. I am moving far away if I am in the town this video was filmed in I still wanna live.

[@steamlover1977]

Look at all the grade crossings.....holy crap

[@Downriverboys1]

MWRRF Video of the week right off the web!

[@phillipmorales8886]

That's a lot of grade crossings, neat video!

[@tomp8871]

Damn straight, and people on the tracks

[@williamerazo3921]

Lakewood Ohio- Cleveland inner suburb

[@jesseusgrantcanales]

:' )......they do NOT make them like THIS anymore......TOO majestic!!!!!! Even the whistle is MAJESTIC!!! 2:54 just...MAGNIFICENT!!!

[@JAILRail]

It's whistle is epic.

[@jesseusgrantcanales]

JacksonAndLansing Railroad Yes it is, you can NOT say you can not hear it; unless you are deaf. :)

[@sharky_99r83]

Yes sir it is

[@Thej611]

jesus christ there are a lot of grade crossings. the engineer got a nice arm workout.

[@CincyTristateRRHunting]

I dont think he was whistling at the crossings. I think he was whistling at all the trespassers

[@tehpw7574]

That would be Lakewood for you. Took them until the 1990's to put gates on all those crossings (sometime after I graduated and joined the Navy, they removed a 2nd set of tracks and THEN put guards on each crossing)...

[@Toaster844]

lol

[@GoodEggGreg]

Thanks a lot! Yes, that is Marlowe Ave.

[@ryanseals_]

The people look like they were in a trance at the beginning LOL

[@jesseusgrantcanales]

Can you blame them??? It is GORGEOUS!!!

[@gentlegiantsanctuary3474]

That must have been an awesome sight.

[@Hitachi-hu7cc]

This whistle sounds a little bit different from 2009. When 765 was doubleheading with 1225.

[@Beatlesfanize]

SOOOoo Beautiful!! WOW>>>>!!

[@Thej611]

Dang that's a lot of grade crossings!

[@christopherdibble5872]

The engineers don't wave from the trains anymore not like they did back in 1954, now it's just for the cellphone cameras to take pictures.

[@jeremyrupert990]

Great video but alot of stupid people standing in the tracks and the two moving at the last moment. Unbelievable. That 404 tons will tear thru u and keep on moving.

[@spikespa5208]

Not them. They're invincible and can do anything. Or so their teachers have always told them.

[@camper234]

In the UK the barrier comes down 5 minutes before the train arrives but I quite like your 5 seconds

[@Hattonbank]

No, far shorter than 5 minutes, if that was the case some gates would never open.

[@IsaiahVerseRailfanning]

....like a rock star's arrival.

[@deloreanman14]

I was in Ohio last week. Naturally I missed this and the chance to head up to MN to see 261.

[@nrslerg1130]

Dang! Your at Marlowe Right? Great View and Vid of 765!

[@catlover2368]

wonder if I can find a route like this on the train simulator

[@cleitonsilvasilva9108]

Linda locomotiva

[@doughardwick1058]

If that does not get your heart pounding, you're dead

[@christopherdibble5872]

The engineers don't wave from the trains anymore not like they did back in 1954.

[@joodgement3388]

Ah yes lets keep standing in the way of a train coming..

[@hunterdowd7069]

Cannot belive the amount of stupid people standing on the tracks.

[@robkrasinski6217]

That is one reason why class 1 railroads frown on steam excursions. Too much liability. UP is really the only class 1 railroad which never retired steam. 844 has been on their roster since the steam era and 4014 Big Boy they bought from a museum in California and restored it to service. They are also the only class 1 that didn't change their name besides Canadian National, but they bought other railroads like Missouri Pacific, Southern Pacific, etc.

[@JointedRail2024]

Signal Maintainers hate Lakewood OH, look at all those grade crossings LOL.

[@jonsmith4669]

Great sight and sound,stupid people dicing with death....

[@joaojunior2042]

Simplesmente emocionante , ver as pessoas parando para ver uma locomotiva a vapor passar é de encher os olhos de lágrimas. !

[@jacksalvin364]

[@jennifertaylor3014]

the whistle sounds like C&O 614

[@heriwasilah8734]

WOW

[@007flyguy1]

and people just keep driving in front of it.... smh

[@BrooklynPerson30000]

sounds like the train is having an argument

[@Metraf40ph175]

[@venkybabu8140]

Why people are always near the railway stations home shop Etc. Because they are railway employees.

[@1870Logger]

Why chase a steam engine connected to a diesel? So fake!

[@cmbart1]

The railroad makes them do it for added braking power.

[@michaelwood9922]

+1870Logger DUDE YOU DO NOT I REPEAT YOU DO NOT KNOW THE ELEGANCE OF STEAM VERSUS DIESEL

[@TrainChamber]

I though the diesels were used to generate electricity for the coaches

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

Train Chamber you are correct..They do supply 12V current to run lights air conditioning etc

[@TrainChamber]

Ok Cool, I used to think the diesel was a helper/not only for electricity
