Norfolk Southern Railway Street Running, West Brownsville, Pennsylvania USA

In West Brownsville, Pennsylvania the Norfolk Southern coal trains run in the middle of Main Street for some hundred yards.
Auf einer Länge von einigen Hundert Metern verläuft die Trasse der Norfolk Southern Railway in der Strassenmitte der Main Street von West Brownsville, Pennsylvania. An Werktagen poltern bis zu acht Kohlezüge mit jeweils mehr als 100 Wagen durch die Ortschaft.

I was just playing this in TS 2015. They have a scenerio where you take empty coal cars through West Brownville. I can't believe how right they got it. the churches the houses that's pretty cool.

[@AtTheCrossingProductions]

Surprised they didn't film shots for unstoppable here

[@awaken77]

Railfans rented all property along that street :-). I'd like to live in such street

[@MattS_Filmography]

I have seen something like this but what happened was that a Norfolk was going down the track and hit a car. Apparently, Norfolk southern police found out that the driver was drunk, on his phone, and ignored the train.

I live in West Brownsville, it gets very annoying at night when you are trying to sleep.

[@manglethefox2897]

And you get used to it very quickly

Looks dangerous to drive on the road when a full on freight train is going by O_O

[@redrock717]

Awaken77 the railroad technically owns 25-50 from the center of the track both ways

[@alexxxxdark08]

Im really curious, i found out before couple of years that in US freight trains crossing in the middle of the streets and im like lol thats fucking weird and awesome because i love trains specially the american ones.My question is , are those neighborhoods poor or middleclass? Is it common thing in the US as a country,or is a common thing in the most/few cities? Or just couple of exceptions.

[@ricardosandoval91]

that is waaaaaaay to close to those tracks

[@gabrieltecnicoinf]

what is the camera?

[@JawTooth]

Its a battery powered, hand held gizmo that records images of things. They are getting very popular in the U.S.

[@fernbahn5678]

Gabriel Antônio - Produções Ferroviárias battery powered and hand held - yes, but no US product: Panasonic HC-X909.

[@adavazquez3378]

WOW how exciting listening to the train going by 3am in morning.

[@MichaelSullivanPhoto1985]

Excellent filmography. I like your documentary style over just shooting the train. Well done! This is a part of the greater Pittsburgh railroad scene I have yet to explore.

[@fernbahn5678]

many thanks!

[@TheDylanJoyce]

Why good morning Mr. Train!

[@grittyrailfan948]

Somebody rail-fanned my train sim drive...

[@awaken77]

How people can tolerate such level of noise all day? Do NS compensate them, or railfans rented property along the street ?

[@manglethefox2897]

People get used to it, especially when you are trying to sleep at night, I know because I live in There

[@DieselElevators]

Someone has a couch out front to watch the trains. Either that, or watch their neighbors.

[@pittsburghkid3694]

No the garbagemen left it because that town is a fucking dump

[@GUSTAVTIME]

Great video very nice place!

[@radanju3]

oh wow it's you

[@rochestersantos]

Very good? Nice that filmografy with the train giant spending on street and is much heavy. A great hug.

[@JawTooth]

That is awesome! How often do trains run there?

[@fernbahn5678]

Jaw Tooth quite frequent - around 8 Trains in 24 hours.

[@hostile177]

Fern Bahn Good lord! Imagine how much those houses shake and rattle with these giants rolling down the street?

[@radanju3]

hostile177 It'd make me think, if I lived there, I would have to mount my computer on my desk or something.

[@LovelySteph]

I wish there was a live cam on this one

[@tadeuszkopytko4925]

I wonder how the Parishioners of that Orthodox Church feels about the trains

[@JawTooth]

I have returned. Lol. Great video!

[@LucaE652]

good video! thums up!

[@joseluiscarreras]

Excelente video y ejemplo de la intermodalidad del transporte, algo casi nunca visto en Argentina. Saludos!

[@redstar77]

The people that live on that street must have a high tolerance for noise and vibration.

[@SouthCalifas619]

it has always beeny dream to live in front of a street running railroad, but sadly most street running neighborhoods are in states where i and my kind arent really accepted :/

[@nonewherelistens1906]

Good eye with the camera.

[@thebrantfordrailfan]

how does street running even start? were the tracks there first and then the road and buildings appeared, or are the tracks built on an already existing street?

[@fernbahn5678]

+TheBrantfordRailfan In many cases the railroad and settlement started at the same time, but the road was a simple cart track and the population less dense.

[@thebrantfordrailfan]

Fern Bahn makes sense, thanks for the information

[@lailasalas]

The best way to enjoy railfanning at City Downtown. But still dangerous for vehicule traffic. Even when trains run at low restricted speed

[@margaretwendell2814]

My grand father was a engineer on this line in the 1930 john bauer his son's were fireman and break man the lived at the houses at where the tracks left the street and went to the round house .great memories last train went thru around 9 o cloc

[@jdzonline5008]

Someone could easily freight hop here. I know where I’m moving. (JK)

[@JJTheTallRocker86]

At 1:12, the symbol reminds me of E. (Esploin Progam) GTA V Los Santos!

[@elguitarronista]

Dang. Do trains operate on that track at night?

[@frmazz2118]

Yes they do operate at night and the only way I know that is I hear it every night while I'm trying to sleep lol

[@Geno2733]

I have 2 separate lines behind and in front of my house. I usually don't hear them, but then again, the tracks don't actually use the streets near my house.

[@ATSdriver24]

Never shuts down got to keep that coal moving

[@Geno2733]

Didn't think this was actually used. I've driven past this street when I worked for PartsChannel.

[@video1974]

Very awesome video. Love the freighter running (1) through the middle of the street, (2) right alongside everyday life, the parked cars just sitting in front of peoples homes.......and excellent video work......5 stars!

[@emballofficial3252]

That's stinks when a train is going by and ur stuck behind a car and there's. I'd in the grass and a trains going by you

[@Rothnorthon1]

I love street running the only place that I have been to that has street running was Oakland California

[@tiffanydouglas2686]

I went to Gadsden, Alabama and there is a street running train on the track as well. But in West Brownsville, PA? Are you kidding me?

[@jeffdunnemfan3058]

there is a map of this in train simulator

[@frmazz2118]

It's very dangerous down there lol I hate going thru Downtown Brownsville

[@CSXEMDTrainLover]

nice video fern and great catch of the ns train's running on the street's.

[@BDRabbitHole]

It couldn't be better for me but other people may think it noisy

[@BessemerLakeErie902]

Nice catch! How busy is this line?

[@annmorland802]

Nice video.

[@deronwilliams338]

that would be good place to live if you love trains like I do.

[@superbulldog81]

Way Cool.....a train just outside your front yard!!

[@railwaycityproductions6312]

two words. COAL DUST!

[@buffalorailfan1957]

I would love to live there! I drive this a lot in train simulator 2015

[@anthonyyantha7046]

This down looks dead in ts 2015. They need a better traffic simulation

[@buffalorailfan1957]

NEC has a lot of traffic. so does Sherman hill,cajon pass, stevens pass and marias pass is the only ones with traffic

[@anthonyyantha7046]

You talking about automotive traffic? There was none except on the overpass when I played today.

[@buffalorailfan1957]

oh I meant train traffic but yea the car traffic theres not a lot and I hate that

[@bigtoysforbigboys2873]

The place is not as great as you think! Most my family lives there.

That Horn Is A K5HL Dash 9 Uint

Pretty sure that was an es44ac my friend

[@arlynmcadorey3044]

Yup, ES44AC!

[@scrambler250r]

Explain the difference please?

[@monica012077]

scrambler250r ES44AC is a GEVO built to meet new emissions standards for locomotives. It's also more energy efficient than a Dash 9 series locomotive.

[@WesternOhioInterurbanHistory]

It would be funny if a school is built on that street.

On the other hand, there are lots of railroad tracks!! Right down the road from where he was shooting is a Y turn around!

well done video, very artistic especially with the church. for some reason the movie Deer Hunter comes to mind. Does anyone know where that was filmed? Deer Hunter that is. lol

YES!!! ME TOO! Russian church in Pennsylvania made me immediately think of that
