Reactivated Railroad Part 2, First Train In Months, Switching Car Out Of Storage! Rusty Rails, N&W

This ex Norfolk and Western Railway branch was brought back to life by the Cincinnati East Terminal Ry CCET. Frontier Rail owns CCET and leases this historic railway from Norfolk Southern Railroad NS. The last 20 miles of this line are used for car storage. This video shows the shunting and switching action needed to retrieve a tank car for the owner. This is a followup video to my last video that showed the two SD45-2 locomotives and the GP49 locomotive running light to retrieve the car. My favorite scene is when they are crossing Plum Run Rd in front of the Hansen quarry. The road had to be dug out with a Bobcat in order for the train to cross it since it was buried under dirt and gravel. Part 2 of 2. Filmed July 6, 2017. Thanks for watching!

Great video Brian. Wow so many views in a couple of days. I am so jealous. Only kidding. your doing great. Hope we can travel together in September to New Jersey. I will call you soon.

[@JawTooth]

Yes, definiatly. I am still planning on that and can't wait!

[@toy4x4nj]

What are you planing to see in New Jersey?

[@gracenauen9828]

Great Video . Do you ever Come up to the Niskayuna, New York Area ? Have a great day . Be Safe

[@austinmiller3497]

@@toy4x4nj I am hoping to go to New Jersey to check out that abandoned railroad being restored maybe with jaw tooth and millennium force I have autism and I absolutely love trains I've been on one train trip and that is when I rode on the Cuyahoga valley scenic Railroad

[@patriciajones4744]

Best wishes to you Austin Miller. Hope everything goes well for you.

[@55DepotStreet]

Trains. No politics, no stress. Just trains. So relaxing!

[@danmathers141]

I love it when the engines are nice and shinny.

[@thomasmackowiak]

I enjoyed watching this video. It was very interesting to see what they had to do to pull one liquid petroleum gas tank car out of the line of stored tank cars. The placing of that tank car on the siding by the entrance of the quarry was fascinating. Then they had to shove the rest of the cars back down the track for storage. I see that they had to split the cars that they were putting back in storage so that none of the cars were sitting on the trestle. After getting back to the quarry entrance with the buffer car, they quickly coupled to the LPG tank car and were on their way to the yard. Thank you for capturing this action and for sharing it with us.

[@davidallen6333]

That was a lot of work to retrieve one car out of many , but if there is only one track it can be very labor intensive ! thanks Brian !

[@smallblockchev64]

That conductor looked so pissed when the engineer stopped at 3 feet away from coupling the tanker on the siding @ 30:23...lol

[@Ithinkiwill66]

Same one that looked mad when the tanker was nearing the derail, on the siding, for decoupling 😅

[@edwardmounsey9208]

Hi JT love the video. The discussion about rail replacing trucks needs expanding. One truck hauls about 20 tons, one rail car up to 100 tons , therefore the ratio could be up to 5 to 1 not 1 to 1. Thanks for posting. Ed

[@snpshtgy1]

at least the signals are still working at the 32:30 mark :) plus the track/rails look to be in pretty good shape too

[@stratkiller86]

Great video I love seeing old rails get used again. Sadly UP is letting a branch line near me go to rust, out of service since 2008.

[@b3j8]

That's a quality crossing sign there at 1:25. LOL

[@chrishowe5849]

Great job on getting the train crossing Pine Gap Road, having driven under that bridge many times while dating my now wife it was good to see a train on it. The reason that bridge creaked so much is that it's the first movements over it since NS shut down the line in 2003.

[@music100vid]

Great video! Near the end you see that a guy left his water bottle on the tank car. You see it still there but fallen over as the train passes the last grade crossing. :)

[@snailsandtires7398]

Thank you. I've finally stumbled upon a train video that shows the rusty rails before and the after getting all shiny with trains running over them. So satisfying to see.

[@carolgreco9538]

Great train chasing and switching action along with scanner chitchat. Look's like Chessie, besides being "man's best friend" is a rail fan too. You got the best of both worlds there ! - Steve.

[@mojostevo]

Man, I love the sound of those SD45s notching up!

[@starnet36]

Love the sound of those SD-45's.

[@lamarbrown7733]

Once again you made a good video Joel to thank you very much I love watching I can't wait to see the next one that you send us keep up the good work Buddy

[@chuxproductions1090]

I Love those former Montana SD45’s/SD45-2, locomotives! Great video! Thanks for sharing!!! Maine here checking in! Pan Am got rid of theirs as the CSX merger was taking place! GP49 Number 2806 - CCET

[@bugrescue1]

Great video! I watched Part 1 first. It was nice to see the rust coming off the rails!

[@neciemilton3186]

Wow Jaw Tooth you sure caught a lot of great footage!! I really enjoyed watching this, it was so nice and interesting!! So many awesome trains and it was cool seeing the man riding on the outside of the train that was crossing the bridge!! Thanks so much!! :) :)

[@joelstrain6664]

this is a really nice video its good to catch some small town shortline action! this is where its at!!!

[@Landaux]

Pretty cool video Jaw! I think it’s sad as well as Errie that those old school track signal lights are in the dark as well as in skeleton mode I’d love to see the rails LIGHT UP WITH LIFE!! 😎👍

[@DavidWright-yn9bi]

Watch out for the eyes in the skies at 6:32. As always, great video. Keep up the good work!!

[@crackerjack4833]

Thanks Jaw I have a very obsessive like for trains, especially those around my old stomping grounds :D I truly appreciate your videos!!!

[@crackerjack4833]

and a side note.... good god that is a llooonnngggg train LOL

[@jamesshanks2614]

When I worked as an engineer for Conrail back in the mid 80's from CP3 on the east end of Beacon Park yard it was a double track main line from CP3 east to back bay station alongside the Massachusetts turnpike extension. One track was CTC for commuters and Amtrak, the other we stored not needed piggyback cars on. We had to pull 17 cars from 2 1/2 miles of stored cars and they were scattered all over the string of cars. Took us just over 1 hour to pull them out. It is not the railroad that decides which cars to pull from storage, it is the customer that decides what cars to pull. I was happy I wasn't using the regular SW-1500 instead I had a GE B23-7. Bigger air compressor and 750 more horsepower 2250 total. After getting up my air on the grab I was told I had to pull the entire drag out to get the first car as it was the last one in the string and to make it worse I was pulling the entire 2 1/2 miles of cars through the yard and out CP 5 out onto the main line then switch out the 17 needed cars then shove them back through the yard onto the storage main. The GE was doing a good job of barking away on the initial pull. The initial pull was made in the 6th notch of power pulling 1000 amps continuously the more speed I gained the louder was the stack talk. My crew had one problem but the yard master handled that when he realized I couldn't hear my conductor on the east end so the yard master relayed all the radio calls. Fortunately we were the only yard crew working in the yard that night. I miss the old days.

[@cpufreak101]

Nice story, enjoyed the read haha

[@anthonyboerio4955]

Three engines pulling two cars - love it, LOL!!!

[@dannyholt105]

Plenty of room... CRUNCH!!!! At 21:10, I thought we already hit something! Great info and video Brian! I almost missed this one somehow. Glad I caught it. Now parts 1 & 3 make sense. Cheers, Dan

[@skyaviationhd3174]

By far one of my favorite videos! Great one, Jaw Tooth!

[@Morcaiden]

Catching up on these older videos now, JT! Great stuff.

[@Gigie2Z]

Me too.

[@keplergso8369]

Nice video ! And your views are good, stable, and we see the environnement too, so it is easy and nice to understand what it is going on.

[@SCRANE1115]

Very nice. I enjoy the infrequent moves a railroad can still make happen. The customer, the crew, and this viewer "tank" you. Out.

[@JawTooth]

Thank you Stuart! Btw, a train hasn't been to the area that I filmed since last summer. They removed all the railcars from storage. It will be a long time before the next train.

[@astateato]

"but wait....there's MORE....." hahaha Good stuff Jawtooth. Love the vids.

[@LunarEquity93]

Great video jaw tooth where all those tanker cars were where the line dead ends it would be nice to see them expand the line even more in the future maybe they will someday

[@FedericoBorluzzi]

Good to see more form this area. The train on the bridge was so cool, with a great camera work!

[@DanaFox1Tbabe]

I’m diggin’ on your rare operations and shortline/branch vids!

[@jarroddark8560]

it's good to see this train back in action @Jaw Tooth

[@K9RADIOTIKI]

Thank you for sharing. Nice to see lines reactivated.

[@beulahpowell1478]

This is good. I have watched switching cars here in Kingsland . Interesting video. I really enjoyed this video. Thanks 👍

[@iusetano]

Great coverage. Excellent video Brian.

[@kevincroley4282]

Nice video.......very interesting watching any movement on old rails!!!!

[@waynea.wintersjr5385]

Nice too see one of our old Alaskan Engines in that video! It's a lonngg way from da Last Frontier!! 👍👍

[@JawTooth]

It sure is! I have 3 of them in my videos but one of them never did run and was just used for parts. I have tons of videos of 2 of them but they were shipped to Washington state a couple years ago

[@doloresdeojos9194]

Thanks for sharing...love that lost & out of service rails !!!....my dream when I was a kid was to drive a locomotive...most of all an Alsthom CC 1850...they only run in France , Argentina and Algeria...

“Out and beyond” with “ Mr Tooth” Great Locations- Rural U.S.A. Is a busy place!

[@jeffreycarpenter7485]

Nice Video!!!!!!!!!!! Love seeing rusty rail to "shiny"rail"part. Your videos would be over the top if you caught them coupling up to stored cars with rusty wheels, then moving.

[@cjs1982]

Interesting video. It would also have been cool to see the old signal lights and the one crossing (where they unloaded the car) reactivated again.

[@ErikAlfaroProductionsOfficial]

Nice video! It's too bad that crossing's flashers don't work. Cool to see this rail action!

[@daniellaubach8412]

Nice to see two former MRL SD's still on the job now that rail operation for that railway is being to be turned over to BNSF soon. So sad to watch that railroad disappear!

[@yardlimit8695]

EXCELLENT VIDEO JT..........VERY SLOW, RELAXING, AND ALMOST THERAPUTIC..............A GREAT CATCH FROM START TO FINISH...........THANKS......

[@JawTooth]

Thank you very much!

[@herzschlagerhoht5637]

Thanks a lot for your exciting work, Jaw! ;)

[@NC_YT_123]

That crossing was nothing but dirt on the ground, Very satisfying watching the train go over that

[@Slowmodem1]

Well done. Very informative for someone new to trains. I looked at Google Maps as I followed along, and it still shows those tank cars there. :)

[@vejet]

9:00 Those trucks drivers are probably pulling their hair out waiting, wondering where this train even came from 😂

[@RailroadSignProductions]

Another great video, Jaw Tooth!

[@tigercat53]

Enjoyed very much. Thanks for posting.

[@jackyclaiborne2142]

Great to be reactivating abandoned rail lines. I love freight trains because they carry freight that would otherwise be carried by tractor trailer trucks. Each box car, hopper, tank car, container or piggyback on a freight train is one less tractor trailer truck on our highways. Rail lines also need to be maintained to the extent that trains can run on them at highway speeds, in order to compete with the trucking industry. Many rail lines across the country have been allowed run down to the point that trains have to crawl at 10 and 15 miles an hour. Tractor trailer trucks beat the hell out of our highways, resulting in rutted pavement, and uneven concrete sections, that damage people's vehicles. Truck drivers are pushed too far, driving them to the point of engaging in road rage behavior, and getting fatigued. They ultimately fall asleep at the wheel, and cause accidents that not only result in vehicle and property damage, injury or death, but also snarl traffic for miles. At the crossing in this video, they need to get the signals working. Railroads also need to do something about hoodlums spraying that unsightly graffiti on rail cars. That seems to have become a trend in the last decade.

[@humanhuman1773]

Rail lines don’t care very much about vandalism on rail cars because they sit for weeks or months in the open and that it doesn’t hurt the functionality of the cars.

[@tonyboloni64]

Queen Anne's Lace was blooming when this was filmed. The height of summer in southern Ohio.

[@josephcosta5161]

Great video. Shots.... awsome scenes

[@TrainSF]

Awesome video!!! Keep up the Great Work

[@Jaxanator25]

Love the video! And I like those SD45-2s they have bought

[@henryfish965]

I just love all the train videos

[@patricknoveski6409]

That was awesome. Good one jaw tooth

[@josephreed5155]

Dropping off and picking up the tank on the very unused siding there was a lot of flange squeal. You become used to flange squeal as a background noise. That is until your son asks "are you making tea?" and you realize that not all the flange squeal is from what you are watching, but from what you weren't watching. The tea kettle. It was "squealing" at the same harmonic. Great video showing the time, patience, and skill of todays' railroaders.

[@abandoninplace2751]

😂

[@PacificCoastRailfan]

Always fun to see the old obsolete air slide hoppers still being used as buffer cars.

[@robfelt9283]

Sure am enjoying your video work. Thank you!

such an awesome week for us, Jaw Tooth!

Hi Jaw Tooth / Looks like a lot of RR work. • Cheers from The Detroit & Mackinac Railway 🚂

[@gregwarner3753]

A while back I was looking at some old maps at the county offices and noted that there was a rail line along just about every stream in southern New Hampshire? Instead of turning these to trails we should be returning them to Rails and Trails. The fewer trucks on the highways the better off we are.

[@freddesjardins6533]

Thanks a good night video was interesting to see the. Action and kitty at the end❤️

[@JawTooth]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@homeandelectronicsstop1599]

IT TAKES A LOT OF DEDICATION TO TELL WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT AND FILMING,I HOPE YOUR THANKED FOR IT ALL I KNOW I THANK YOU

[@kevenlonsdale1354]

Sad that the a once busy N&W main line has been reduced to storing 6000 feet of tank cars..... But I guess it's better than tearing it of and gives the CCET some storage revenue.

[@JawTooth]

At least a train goes through in that area every couple years instead of never. It is now back out of service that most of this video is recorded in. Wash outs from last year in the spring and a lack of storage cars has closed the line at Seaman, Ohio MP62

[@fury210]

Awesome video JT!

[@gregoryguza4623]

Awesome EMD SD40-2s in action.

[@kansasstatealerting2424]

Gregory Guza they are SD45-2s and one I believe is a GP38-2.
