Replacing Street Running Railroad Tracks, LaGrange, Kentucky Part 2

Amazing modern railway construction! CSX maintenance of way machinery completely replacing the street running railroad in the middle of town. Very close video from all the way around the construction zone in LaGrange, Kentucky. The first 2 trains over the brand new track is included in their entirety. Rail cutting, rail welding, moving track panels, adding ballast, track tamping, you name it! This is Part 2. Don't miss Part 1. • Street Running Track R... This line is ex Louisville & Nashville Railway and runs from Louisville, Kentucky to Cincinnati, Ohio. I have numerous videos of the street running trains through this town including the trains that showed up for Light Up LaGrange 2019. This CSX line is known as The Short Line or LCL Line. The main frequency to listen in on is the old L&N 161.370 Channel 84. Filmed February 11, 2020. Thanks for watching! Please Watch Another JawTooth Video!

Late to comment because it me two days to watch the video. The trains run smooth and no rocking of the cars.However the spot where the two rails connect needs some help. I found the auto transport car missing the siding was an unusual and interesting catch.I wonder how it all looks now.Surely they repaved the street.Thanks for putting this together.

Don’t see why they wouldn’t use concrete ties for this? You would think it would save a lot of maintenance In the long run being under the street

[@statesk8r]

Concrete ties would crack and crumble over time. Wood ties provide flexibility so the ties can flex and trains go over.

[@hunterriley9904]

@@statesk8r absolutely right👍

[@leeroberts1192]

What about a reinforced concrete slab instead of sleepers, with heavy duty rubber mats/cushions either side of each rail to make maintanance easier?

[@billtimmons7071]

My favorite is the track tamper ... grab the rail, lift the rail, then tamp the rail. Cool machine. A close second is the back-hoe. I love back-hoe action. Don't tell anyone but this 60 year old plus immature man may go out and buy some Tonkas and start digging in the wifes flower garden. May not survive that though ... it would be worse than COVID for me :) Stay safe and healthy my RR friends.

[@JawTooth]

I filmed an all red tamper on a new siding installation in Ohio on the I&O. I watched it until it broke down. Lol. You need a big pile of sand in your back yard like we have. lol

[@JeffCKeane]

There's a guy here on you tube that prepped his wife's garden with R.C. equipped scale construction equipment. He may have used a back hoe, I can't recall. Search R.C. garden equipment. That might bring it up.

[@hunterriley9904]

The tamper is a awesome machine👍😎

[@phonbouaphanh5136]

Love the videos, as a novice to the rail scene & construction it would be great and extremely helpful if you would indicate or explain in detail the equipment & material. For example as the dump truck was pouring the gravel/stone, indicate the type of stone or required for rail road or as dictated by whomever. Ties are steel vs. wooden what are typical, if one is better or preferred or specific to the project...just a suggestion. Thanks for sharing the videos.

[@tigerzero5216]

About 17 mins into this. All this rail work I'm sure is a "The best they can do with what they have". I was puzzled about the truck that dumped a pile of rocks at the street crossing. ... No explanation. Was it dumping on a new segment of track there. There were other unexplained parts. I just had to assume so much. There is no commentary/explanation on what is being done. Anywhere. Your videos would be so much better with descriptions of what is being done. Maybe interviews with supervisors? You have to give them a positive reason for the interview. (I'm not giving a thumbs up or down on this video, because I see room for improvement.) I work at a business right across the double main North/South lines through Charlottesville, VA. I've seen the rail rework equipment. I call them, the circus crew. A bunch of odd shaped orange colored maintenance equipment come rolling through like a circus train. They pull up spikes, yank out the old ties. Pick up the new ties. Shove them up,.... under the rails. Then a gravel thing establishes a firm new base. There was a time, a bit ago, the rails were replaced too. Long segments. Then a Loran comes by 3-5 times a year to polish it out. I have spoken too soon. 18 mins. It's not orange but lime colored equipment. Like what I've seen hear. Somehow they get the rail in good enough shape for a train to pass.

[@robadams5799]

I used to live near a similar crossing in LaGrange, Illinois. I guess when you've seen one small Midwestern town you've seen them all.

[@TheLocutus70]

I can't imagine having to do all that by hand without machines to help.

[@mikebrabant4170]

The old days they had huge work gangs with hundreds of men at least that's what my dad told me when he worked way in the bush in Northern Ontario Canada laying tracks back in the 1940s. Hard work and they got eaten alive by all the bugs.

[@scottmiller4348]

Hey JT , I got ran off by maintenance workers on the BNSF today . The butthead ruined my Amtrack vid. My front wheels were in compliance but my back wheels weren't, by about 12" . It was not an issue of clearance just attitude. He stood in front of my camera until Amtrack had rolled by then when it quieted down he started to call the law . I got there about 2 min. before Amtrack rolled through and that was really all I was there for and left while his majestic Magnificence was dialing . In nearly 50 yrs of train chasing I have only ever been ran off once before . That time I did have it coming . Lesson learned , nearly 40 years ago. Today was just splitting hairs . Oh well . What is the longest train you have ever videoed ? I got stuck on the wrong side of crossing yesterday as a 272 car double stack train ground to a halt a had the crossing blocked for nearly a hour. The road goes back to a boat ramp on the Mississippi and to a large industry called CryoTech . Two very lengthy westbound double stacks went by while the one had the crossing blocked. I estimate the train was between 2-1/4 to 2-1/2 miles long with 4 6 axel units up front , 2 in the middle and 2 on the rear . Almost 95% of the deep well cars were double stacked and there were just a few standard piggybacks. Biggest dang train I have ever seen ! I have been having trouble uploading to youtube . It is frustrating for an old cod who doesn't know anything about computers! Also my zoom sucks ! Anytime it is engaged I have horrible vibrations on the vid. . Train horns , wind , for crying out loud even engine exhaust causes aberrations! DRIVES ME CRAZY!

[@scottmiller4348]

@@Thunderbolt1996Productions Yep ! My cousin called me a terrorist for simply doing my due diligence , " know your enemy " . He had worked for a company called Aramco . The Arab , American Oil Co., and I had audacity to ask if there was any inside information that would aid me in redirecting a very large pipeline that was to cross the Miss. River just upstream from me . They just wanted to bury it at the same depth as they had been doing. I knew , unlike the many protesters , that stopping the project was a futile endeavor. But I also knew that there had been a coal train derailment at that exact location recently and some of the railcars had buried themselves to that depth. If that had happened after the pipeline was on place it would have been catastrophic! My good cousin declared me a terrorist and slammed me on his old landline phone and still won't talk to me ! Instead of joining the protesters, I made another series of phone calls to those I thought would care . I had no way of knowing whether my calls to the IDNR IA. , IDNR ILL., IDNR MO., every water dept for every city downstream from the pipeline river crossing , the Coast Guard and the Army Corps of Engineers had any effect . I laid out my idea of a horizontal bore large enough to house the pipeline and allow for constant inspection. This was a poker bluff. I knew this would never happen but what did occur was a much smaller horizontal bore that was cased and buried deep enough to allay any fears of tens of thousands of gallons of crude spilling into the river every minute of a catastrophic break.

The old tracks came up what is now Harrison Ave. (off Mt. Carmel -Tobasco Rd) crossed the creek by Rust Lane and directly into the intersection of I-275 and 32. There are remnants of the track bed still visible in some places. The land parcel shapes confirm this.
