Rare Tilting Target Signal, Railroad Diamond, Indiana And Ohio Railway, Classic Short Line Railroad

Railroad diamond interlocking with rare tilting target signal. Short line railroads at their best! Indiana And Ohio Railway ( I&O ) at Washington Court House, Ohio. This video shows how they operate the tilting target signal at the railroad diamond. The conductor gets off the train and activates the signal next to the crossing. After the locomotives crossed the diamond I got in front of them at the next crossing to film the train passing. The sunlight was better at the second location. The next train was a huge northbound train going around the diamond toward Springfield, Ohio. Notice the tunnel motor locomotive ( #9400 ). This ex SP unit is the same locomotive that I filmed in Cincinnati where I got the one finger salute • Railroad Conductor Fli... . That was a totally different route and crew. The outro in this video shows a huge steam locomotive that is on display in the Washington Court House park. Also, the shot at Bobby Mackey's is a famous haunted building in Kentucky that has been on numerous television programs including a new one with Jack Osborne ( Ozzy's son ). I also filmed the I&O crew switching a customer on a spur. That will be a future video. Filmed April 11, 2019CE. Thanks for watching! Listen In: Road 161.220 and Switching 161.430.

interesting junction. You should point out where each leg goes too.

[@CaptainDave-lw6sr]

The train was heading down the Washington Court House Industrial Track, it goes out to a few customers and dead ends out past the Lowes Distributiion Center, It came from Konrad Yard in WCH. This short bit of track from the South end of Konrad to the end of the line out past Lowes is all that survives of the first CH&D and later B&O Wellston sub. The track continues onto the Former DT&I at Konrad and North to Springfield, Lima, and Eventually the CP Yard at Flat Rock. The track that the train was crossing is the Midland Subdivision (Former BO and and currently leased from CSX by the I&O). It runs North to Columbus until it hits the NS and runs south to Midland City before continuing on to Oakley yard in Cincinnati.

@@CaptainDave-lw6sr Weren't there a lot of diamonds at that location back in the day? How many railroads passed through this town originally?

[@CaptainDave-lw6sr]

@@HOTRAILProductions The B&O had 2 lines one of which was former CH&D. There was an NYC line(former C&MV) and the DTI. There were 4 or 5 diamonds at one point.

Nice video...My sister lived in Louisville, KY so way back in 1962 my brother drove my parents and I from Boston, MA. That is before the interstates had come to Ohio....I remember stopping in Washington Court house. I bet rail action back then was great there....I was only about 10 or 11....

[@curtnicholson7771]

Nice job Jaws it is always nice to see this switching action and the utilization of these mighty but older engines rather than seeing them wasting away somewhere. I also love seeing diamonds and how they are controlled like this one.

[@DavidWright-yn9bi]

It's nice to see smaller lines running a good amount of freight on their lines. That would be a cool area to replicate on a h.o. scale layout (or any gauge) with the bridges. Cool video! Thanks!

[@jameswilliams5959]

So, I am in Washington Court House for training at the Walmart distribution this week. I was just driving around trying to find dinner, and happened across the diamond interchange by accident. The funny thing is, it looked really familiar. I went to dinner, and came back because I wanted to check it out. I got looking around and remembered seeing the tilting signal as well. Then I remembered the voice. I had seen this video a while back and thought the interchange was cool. After i took some pictures, I found the park and took pictures of the steam engine. Thanks for the video. It helped me create my own fun experience, even if only by chance.

[@JawTooth]

Wow, that is really awesome! Glad you enjoyed it. I do the same thing when I find places that I see in magazines or on Google Maps. Thanks for watching my videos!

[@kraigsickels3918]

[@sardu55]

Lines coming together in order to cross the Ohio River east of WCH by Wheeling, WV. Good stuff showing the maze of trackage that way.

[@davidbarnett9312]

Nice to see a former SP engine. In the ancient world, I was a brakeman for the SP. With regard to some of the FURX hoppers, it looked like some were former Chicago and Northwestern rolling stock, but don't hold it against me if they're not. My eyes aren't what they used to be.

[@markmccummins8049]

Another great video, Jaw Tooth! New Castle, PA had no less than three of these junction signals up to the early ‘80s. One protected the B&O spur and the PRR Mercer branch. The other two protected the Erie (EL) and the P&LE at two intersections. The last one surviving was the one that protected these two i the P&LE yard where the two connected. Erie & EL had trackage rights over the P&LE.

[@dmorgan28]

Yeah I remember those. I’ve run several of them. It’s a EMD SD 45T2. The SD means special duty and the T is for tunnel unit. They have extra space for venting and fans to pull smoke and heat out and keep them running cooler.

[@JawTooth]

Wow, I wish I could ride in one of them. You have an awesome job!

[@dmorgan28]

Thanks. They are an awesome locomotive. Great video. You do a super job. Keep up the good work. By the way. Congrats on the 57K+ subs.

[@vitreus0359]

Seeing those North Western hoppers, reminded me of this North Western rail map and schedule book I found, from April 1949

[@hankshwank9113]

I wonder if those said employee owned.

[@tracksidecraig]

Chicago and northwestern rail cars really awesome

[@usnusmcret]

9400 is an SD-45T2 (Tunnel Motor). “T-2” is used in the West for long tunnels

[@mikemissel7785]

Tunnel motor nice

[@fairportrails107]

there used to be one of those signals in fairport harbor on the b&o lake branch and fp&e main the signal was there until the b&o lake branch was abandon in 1982 the fp&e line is still there but ns now owns it and its now called ns fairport branch

[@bricestarcher3636]

Coshocton Ohio used to be a decent place to catch trains. Could see them coming out of the yard in town, or go to nearby Conesville Ohio at a more sketchy crossing and watch a CSX train full of cargo containers go zipping through. And the coal trains going in an out of A.E.P. Although AEP in conesville had since shut down, and rail traffic has decreased through coshocton.

[@jameslashley3970]

About 14 years ago a north bound NS train went through a AGR short train in Boligee, Alabama that had the diamond block while AGR picking up some cars 🚂

[@edeyw9107]

This is by far some of the most interesesting junctions of tracks, especially the last one. It seems tracks are coming from every direction. This is one of your best finds so far. 👍

[@JawTooth]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@thomplacier677]

One of my favorite videos, for sure. Great to see the semaphore in action. Washington CH had 4 railroads serving it at one time and still has 3 standing depots, pretty rare. At the 6:13 mark, you were looking at the back of the DT&I depot, which was a car lot the last time I was there. Nothing fancy, it’s a metal building built after they discontinued passenger service in the early 1950’s. You can still see the DT&I compass logo outline on the front of the building. A couple of blocks away, the Pennsylvania passenger depot and freight depots are both still standing. They are close together on South Main Street. Thought you might want to get a shot of them if you go back. I have no idea why there is a C&O steam engine there since the C&O never went to Washington CH, but I’m glad it’s there. Keep up the great work!

[@jovetj]

Tilting Target signal... not a semaphore.

[@thomplacier677]

Jovetj , I never knew there was a difference so I Googled it. Thanks for setting me straight, I learned something!

It is a semaphore mechanism, but technically it's not a semaphore. It's a tilting target signal.

Hey Jaw Tooth, I loved seeing those old green North Western open hopper cars. My sister used to work for them. She actually started at the Chrysler Belvidere Assembly Plant where I work now. She originally loaded cars onto the auto racks for NW which is now days UP. She then moved on up in the company to become a damage control officer. She eventually left NW early taking her earned retirement she had saved up and used it to go back and by in halves of a construction company she had worked for before the railroad. She retired and sold out from that two years ago. So that year for Christmas at her house, my wife and I and our three kids and her daughter all pitched in and got her a ceramic plated North Western sign and a North Western bar stool for the bartender that sits behind the little bar on the lower floor. She had bar stools for guests but nothing for the person tending the bar. I thought it was the appropriate gift to end her working career as I know she really liked working for the railroad.

[@JawTooth]

Awesome! She loved that for sure!
