Railway Shunting Action, Scrap Metal Customer, Cincinnati Eastern Railroad

[@dougmckenzie680]

Love these trips to small towns out in the country! That kind of action is going away ware I live. Most of it is near the large cities now. A few of our towns have saved their depots but almost all of our rural trackage is just a memory . I should have grown up east of the Mississippi ware I could be enjoying this for real !

[@donharsh1503]

After 4 years and the locomotives is beautiful too 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😃😎❤ and the side show too AWESOME Jaw Tooth ❤

[@roelofvenema6500]

Thanks for this good video you made,mr Jaw Tooth. When the train entering the crossing to switch the cars by the costumer the beams go up and unmedely down. Nice to see. Greet from Zandvoort the Netherlands.

[@Howoldareweanywayyipes]

I just love your train videos.

[@edwardgarea7650]

By the way, I loved the shot of Mrs. Jawtooth at the end, train spotting with the grandson and keeping a good grip on him lest he try to run out to the train. Puts everything in perspective.

[@davidbarnett9312]

I hope folks will pardon me if I reminisce. I was a brakeman for the Houston & Texas Central [SP] back in the day. Terminal was Houston and turn-around was Hearne, Tx, a distance of 125 miles. I quickly had a regular job on the local. We were switching International Shoe in Bryan, Tx. The spur leading in to the business had a deep left curve. Once past the curve, then the tracks straightened, we could throw the switch, and then back straight down the unloading area to spot or pick up box cars. After doing the work, it was time to back out. The other brakeman had gone back to the service road to watch for vehicle traffic. I was riding on the left hand side rear car so the fireman....yes, fireman could relay my lantern signals to the engineer. There was a big gate there and some way some how a big gust of wind blew through and moved one of the gates onto the track. I was frantically giving the stop signal with my lantern, but the train kept coming. I dismounted and since the train was going slow because of the curve, I was able to get in sight of the engineer, who finally stopped the train but only after we had crashed into the gate. I climbed up the engine and entered the cabin all bent out of shape, only to find the fireman....yes, fireman asleep. There was some damage to the gate, and the conductor made a report. I didn't hear anything from anyone after that. I knew the fireman. He had grown up in my hometown of Hearne. He was former Texas DPS trooper, but resigned. He had stopped a vehicle with four occupants around Hempstead, Tx. Said occupants attacked him and the only reason he survived is the fact he was able to hang on to his service revolver and stick the barrel in the mud at the side of a road. He had no chance to bring it to bear. The occupants skeedaddled but were later apprehended. He decided life on the SP was much safer. Thanks, Jaw Tooth, for allowing me to reminisce about the ancient world of railroading.

Another very nice branch line action! Thx

[@peckelhaze6934]

Life is slower on the short lines, very nice. Barriers got a bit confused, partially opening.

[@train1962]

Thanks for the video Brian.Let's hope the new owners keep the line going for some time to come.

[@graymodeler]

Thanks Man. I just love the old Montana liveries.. The still shot at 12:30 let us hear the engine running. I bet they were lubricating that squeaky rail.

[@JoeG-firehousewhiskey]

you got some awesome action there. I love watching them switch

[@cpufreak101]

Agreed. I strangely like watching switching the most

[@ronfogartyfogarty9362]

Very nice jawtooth I like the train horn cool

[@MrPeerum]

very nice the good old 322 almost complete painted.good color Brian.

[@davidallen6333]

Nice catch Brian of the EX-Montana Rail link loco and some old waffle side gondolas ! Nice switching action !

[@bekleidungu.ausrustung7068]

Nice live action on the peavine. I think I'm gonna by em an eot device for christmas, lolz

Fun switching action. Good catches, Brian.

[@iusetano]

Excellent video Brian.

[@FedericoBorluzzi]

So good to see some more trainwatching by you. ALways so relaxing and interetsing. I'm coming to the US again soon, so maybe I'll see some with my eyes, too. ;)

[@JawTooth]

Let me know when you come. Thanks for watching Federico!

[@gotsteem]

Good Stuff JT, thanks!

[@jeffreymcfadden9403]

remember folks,, the 332 is a most unique engine. built as a Erie Lackawanna SD45, wrecked by EL, rebuilt as a SD45-2,HOWEVER retaining the SD45 fuel tank.(and trucks)

[@rivkahhannah]

best wishes always! liked

[@BorisLu]

Super video!

[@richardp950]

nice-I watched all and i put a like on this too

[@Howoldareweanywayyipes]

I don't have enough room in my home or i would set up a model train to play with. Toka my cat would love to chase it around through the tunnels.

[@jessiemorris8166]

great catch loved it

[@mikeday62]

Perhaps I will ask the shunting marshal if he would allow me to do some guest shunting. It could happen. I have a knack for banging into those cars at the proper velocity.

[@MrPeerum]

Very nice video Brian.thanks again en greetings from Tony to,me also.lol.

[@gamerunner9632]

This is one cool video

[@leemaxwell1912]

I didn't miss "Macon" and "makin'"!

[@HLRJaysteeMoore416]

bang bang ghappy tue my friend

[@plymouth-hl20ton37]

Her original owner was Erie Lackawanna as 3657 was involved in a collision she originally was a sdp45 then the body was replaced with an SD 45-2 car body I'm building one in 1.6 scale

[@bnsfbandit9807]

Cool!

[@espeescotty]

Ahhh...so that would explain the Flexicoil trucks on this unit. I was thinking as I was watching that there doesn't seem to be enough extra room for there to have been the HT-C trucks that a proper SD45-2 was built with.

[@cpufreak101]

Some pretty nice trivia, thanks! Speaking of SDP45's though, hope they can get that last existing one into preservation

[@espeescotty]

Yes, lets hope it does. At least Athearn has brought this project to light with more folks and they are donating proceeds from those specific models towards that project.

[@norfolksouthernguy9350]

GREAT VIDEO JAW TOOTH!!

[@doctordeath.5716]

Looks like there used to be two sets of lines there once upon a time ago when you're looking in the ending of the video you see old tower lights up top covered up that's what it looks like to me at the Crossing

[@trainhunters1178]

Live Action!

[@jeffreymcfadden9403]

see the rumor at csxsucks where the csx, up and a canadian road merges? does the up have any idea what they are in for with a merger with csx?

[@crushhardtack2870]

Nice!

[@joellekarma]

I so like your videos WOOW!

[@crsrdash-840b5]

Just to be clear, its not shunting (shoving cars and allowing them to travel on their own and to be stopped by either gravity or slamming into another car), its switching (spotting cars as needed by way of a controlled means such as a locomotive).

[@JawTooth]

shunt /SHənt/ Learn to pronounce verb gerund or present participle: shunting 1. push or pull (a train or part of a train) from the main line to a siding or from one track to another. "their train had been shunted into a siding". This is the definition that I am familiar with. I looked for the definition where the railcars travel on their own and I cannot find that. Here is the definition from Wikipedia: Search Results Web results Shunting (rail) - Wikipediaen.wikipedia.org › wiki › Shunting_(rail) Shunting, in railway operations, is the process of sorting items of rolling stock into complete trains, or the reverse. In the United States this activity is known as Switching.

[@edwardgarea7650]

Just to be clear, this is a case of Jaw Tooth knowing what he’s talking about and the critic thinking his ass is his elbow. Jaw Tooth, keep up the good work, Son.

[@gilleslanher1047]

Un petit bonjour de Paris trés bonnes vidéo merdi .

[@thatfishingkidthatdoesmore4221]

lol i live in a difrent macon btw i love your channel

[@JanetSilversides]

Way cool.

[@moparluvrsgagarage2898]

Hey "B", just an idea that sprung forth from the ingestion of caffeine but why dont you TRY to get appt at the CET office with a manager and see if they will let you do a CAB ride along for a video??? that would make one awesome video.

[@MrPeerum]

Very good thinking.i told him also make one 4K cabride. greetz:Peerke.

[@1960gambit]

Highly unlikely as NS owns the line and they would have a meltdown if that were to happen. Their contract doesn`t even allow for excursion trains on the Peavine. To bad too because there is some great scenery along the line to see.

[@Botvintseva]

Hi!!! Very cool l !!! Like !!! Hello from Ukraine !!!

[@edwardgarea7650]

Great video. Living history. By the way, wasn’t that Mrs. Jawtooth at the end with one of the kids doing a little train spotting?

[@BRABBIT9921]

Ex MRL Engine Great Video

[@trainshunter4718]

Good video friend ;)

[@JawTooth]

TrainsHunter47 thanks!

[@tucsonpete9852]

Was there any interruption in service during the management transition? Also is that big unit the only power that remains from the CET? Thanks for sharing.73.

[@1960gambit]

No interruption in service. They have 4 locomotives for now. There are 2 GE units that came from the TTI railroad in Kentucky that the new ownership has purchased. Once those are here, then the 4 current locomotives are headed elsewhere. From everything that has been posted on the Cincinnati Eastern Facebook page, the used locomotives they are getting are of questionable condition. Guess when they get here, we will see if they are in decent shape or not.

[@johnmccall8788]

Just wondering why they pushed the full ones so far back when they could have just left them 10-20 yards past the switch?

[@fayeharris7391]

Enjoyed your video. Love seeing those rails being shined up. Has the RR picked up any more customers since this video was shot? Also reactivating of those signals would be awesome along with running excursions on that line. Know it probably won't happen, just wishing. (the kitty's pal-from Ga)

[@JawTooth]

Yes, the quarry will be online soon and they have a customer next to Huhtamaki that uses covered hopper cars

[@olentangy74]

Great vid, Brian. Is that stone Temple Pilot I hear?

[@terrywebb1463]

The CCET is a short line right, how do they justify the use of those humongous locomotives;not that we don't mind,i love'em, but they've got to be costing CCET out the exhaust to keep fuel, up keep, insurance wear and tear on the rails. The longest train that i've seen was i believe was 25 car's long and the 4 axle units was more than enough power to handle the job. I would like to know if they use them or lease them out to other rail lines;and can you tell me what's been the largest, heaviest train you've seen.

[@JawTooth]

CCET is the only one who uses those locomotives right now. I have seen them pull trains over 70 cars long due to storage cars. This line has steep inclines and sharp curves

[@terrywebb1463]

Do you remember back in the day when a lot of rail lines used of alco units, well my grandpa worked for the sp,i remember him talking about the different locomotives how this company liked these and this engineer liked these etc.etc, he didn't like the alcos, the sp didn't like them or the 6 axle emd's because the long wheel base was stiff and chewed the rails up on steep grades with tight curves. I was just wondering if you've heard about wheel slipping or rail wear on curves

[@suzannewilde6733]

What were they spraying on the sides of the track?

[@Maine_Railfan]

Weed killer

[@dominictauane6482]

How many trains go through there at day

[@aviation_cvg]

What happened to CCET? I never see a train through Newtown anymore.

[@JawTooth]

They still run through Newtown a few days a week. Get a scanner and program 160.860 and start listening in around 8-9 am

[@allenvillarreal9536]

I am just kidding I love your vid’s

[@erikmcc804]

I wonder, Will they reactivate the signals or leave it for a Dark territory? thanks

[@JawTooth]

They will never reactivate the signals. Rarely is there ever more than one train operating on the line at the same time.

[@Closet_Jedi]

I hear the wiring to the signals has been cut in various places along the line, either by construction or thieves.

[@rgsnidow1]

@@Closet_Jedi Can't afford to pay the electric bill....

[@TheGrover1968]

Looks like an SD45 as far as I know.

[@JawTooth]

Yes, correct. CCET had two of them. They are long gone now. They went out west, possibly Walla Walla Railroad

[@tsmith7666]

Thanks for the great video! Enjoyed watching it. What make and model of video camera are you using to capture the video? The quality is excellent and I'm interested in possibly buying one for myself. Thanks!

[@matthewjohnson4591]

What time do the trains go thoure Macion

[@randyfunk7691]

Are they gonna run more trains

[@JawTooth]

They are hoping to when some new customers come on line. They are building an industrial park in Afton

[@trainroomgary]

Hi Jaw-Tooth: Cool rail-fanning. If you ever come back to Michigan, Check out Rail-fanning at Durand, Michigan. 😎 • Cheers from The Detroit & Mackinac Railway 🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃

[@wfs63]

Is there a different crew for Cincinnati Eastern than CCET? Did you ever get to know any of the guys? They must recognize you by now.

[@JawTooth]

wfs63 they do know me. Thanks for watching!

[@southeastvirginiarailfan2110]

Nice. The abandoned railroad to Hopewell. On Google Maps it's been removed. Or it looks like that.

[@hakeemsd70m]

Just like the old NS Hyde Park branch. The tracks have been removed through all of Oakely east of Montgomery Rd all the way up to the trustle over Old Red Bank Rd.

[@terrencebradley5417]

Interesting how the European trains travel about three times faster than the US trains but the European trains have these little wussy whistles or horns. The US trains lumber along but have horns you can hear for a country mile! Just an observation on my part but I sure enjoy these videos of work being done in little out of the way places'' Way more interesting than seeing a frieght run by at 55 or 60 mph.

[@salluparello7297]

they gotta fix the crossing gate on the right because the gate is bent

[@michaelmccarthy4615]

Jawtooth have you ever encountered hobos on your adventures? Or spoken to one while filming? They seem interesting Just curious....

Its gone from CCET and went to CWW over in WA.
