Hey Jaw Tooth, Thanks for the videos. I'm an old conductor from the C&O. I used to run from Newport News to Gladstone, VA on the Peninsula and James River Sub-Divisions. I also worked ACCA Yard on the RF&P, the Rock Trains, going up the Piedmont Sub. I know you like to get approach shots, and the engines going by, however, I want to alert you, that when you are in close quarters like you were in this video with the first train, it is very dangerous for you to turn your back on the train. Quite often load restraints, or loads break free and are dragged or stick out from the train. If your back is turned to the direction of the train is traveling, you place yourself in great danger. Always face the direction the train is coming from. Also, make sure in those tight quarters that you always have a way to escape should a derailment at speed happens. You always want an out. Never assume nothing is going to happen. Be safe out there and thank you for your time, efforts, and videos. ....But wait there's more!!!!

We get a lot of bridge strikes in NJ at the older railroad underpasses, some are only 10'8 in height. Mostly are the rented straight box trucks. These bridges are well marked in advance, too and many GPS's will inform of bridge height. Bridge strikes delay a train until a railroad bridge inspector determines the strike doesn't knock the bridge and track out of alignment.

Cool video Jaw Tooth! Interesting that Norfolk Southern has kept that 1914 built "open deck" plate girder overpass in it's original configuration. I live in Staten Island and there's a similar structure from 1910, recently painted in B&O's "Royal Blue" and that structure sits about 13' 6 1/2" above the road. The overpass is on a part of an abandoned railroad line on Staten Island that hadn't seen a train since the early 1990's and was restored about 15 years ago. (There were a few tie replacement projects done to the tracks in the late 90's, along with partial clearing of the ROW of brush, but the line wasn't reopened till about 2006.) Many city ordinances had actually banned the construction of open deck plate girder overpasses in the 1910's, because debris from freight trains can fall through the tracks and injure people. Many railroad companies modified their open deck overpasses with a concrete deck, like the CSX ex C&O bridge beside the NS bridge where you shot this video. The former C&O bridge was likely built as an open deck bridge, but was converted to a ballasted deck one. I especially liked the PRR Heritage diesel, that was pretty much the "icing on the cake". Keep up the good work, stay safe and God bless.

If a car derails on the bridge the guard rails should keep the car/s on the cross ties if the car/s remain upright. It’s much quicker and a whole lot less expensive to replace damaged ties and rail than the structure of the bridge.

Another cool location for train watching. Lovely 3 span plate girder bridge and on quite a sharp curve, which probably explains the 30 mph train speeds. I am intrigued by the way rail bridges in the US are completely open at the bottom and you can see the train going over it from below. In UK these bridges are always floored with heavy steel plate and the tracks often sit on waybeams (longitudinal heavy timbers supporting the rails) with no sleepers or ties. I have always understood that we do this so that nothing can fall from the train onto the road below. Just goes to show how things differ between countries. In UK all rail lines have to be fenced by the railway company to prevent anyone or any animals straying onto the tracks. Whereas in USA your tracks run through open country and through towns with no fences at all. Perhaps it's because the UK is so densely populated that the first railways were considered to be a danger to people. Incidentally it's qaint to us over here to hear trains with bells. Before we had steam whistles our early steam trains had bells (Locomotion no1 on the Stockton and Darlington being so fitted). Samson, a loco of the Leicester and Swannington Railway was the first to use a "steam trumpet" as it was originally called in the early 1830's. After that bells were no longer used except for locos on docks and roadside tramways. Samson was notable for being used on the first train from Leicester to pass through Glenfield tunnel (which was at the time the longest tunnel in the world!) it went in with a very tall chimney and came out the other end without it. Salutary lesson to the civil engineer about measuring the loading gauge! Rain

Hi Jaw Tooth. Thanks for all the great train videos. The speed gun is a great additional to the video. I've used the Bushnell speed gun for a neighborhood speed check of the commuter rail that runs through my area. That cosine effect is minor for the angle that you seem to be shooting. The commuter rail speed limit in my area (south of Boston) was 60 mph, and many claimed the units were going much faster. The speed gun data showed very few drivers exceeded 60 mph. In 3 months of data collection only two exceeded the limit. (both at 62 mph). most were 5-7 mph below the limit. Conclusion: I think your readings are very accurate. Trains just look like they are going faster because of their size and that fact that you are relatively close. Good Luck. Rich - south of Boston on the Kingston Line.

What great luck man. That is a way cool bridge. Since subscribing to your videos,I always thought you were tied into NS and CSX somehow and had a leg up on everyone else on getting these great trains. I hung out with my own crew of about 7 guys here in Langhorne,Pa. I could guarantee anyone a good 4 to 5 freights at any of 3 local locations. But,unfortunately,mostly CSX rusted camouflage GEVO's. It changed up when the Baaken oil fields trains started coming thru.We started seeing BNSF,UP,CPRail, locomotives but its gone back to all CSX.

I did a little research and I found out that the radar works the way I thought it did. The last time I studied anything about radar I was in the Air Force. The radar gun becomes less accurate the steeper the angle to the target. At a 90 degree angle to the side of a vehicle it may read 0. If you could get in the bushes you could get a straight shot at the front of the locomotive as it approaches the bridge or on the bridge, with out the crew seeing you or the gun. You could also shoot the rear car straight on with it in the curve.

The 83 MPH was caused by reading two different points in sequence giving a false reading. Notice the reading was on the center beam car with large multiple points separated by a few feet. Multiple reflective surfaces close together can cause the most consistent errors.
