RR Gate Runners, Monster Trains On Sharp Curve, CSX & Louisville & Indiana Railroad, Seymour Indiana

BIG CSX Trains On Tight Curve In The City, Cars That Won't Stop For Trains, Louisville & Indiana Railroad Train Flashback Hits The Railroad Diamond & CSX Auto Racks Trains With DPU Locomotives & Freight Cars That Just Keep Coming! These trains are in Seymour, Indiana on CSX and L&I Tracks.
This video also features the Seymour Fire Department. We start the video with a fire engine on an emergency call as it is crossing the railroad crossing next to the city park. The first train is a GIGANTIC CSX auto racks train with a mid train DPU. This train is seen coming off the Louisville And Indiana Railroad mainline and entering its own track on the way from Louisville, Kentucky to Cincinnati Queensgate Yard. Several cars didn't want to wait for this train. The train took more than ten minutes to pass so you can't blame them.
Then we take a look at the city while waiting for the next train. We see an old train station and a Chessie System caboose. The crossing gates at a crossing next to the park were activated without a train for miles and miles. Scott, 1960gambit and I watched some of the traffic go around the gates. It was a little bit of entertainment. Just before the gates were activated I noticed that the switch was lined for the branch that goes toward St Louis. Right after the gates were activated I noticed that the track had switched for the line that goes from Cincinnati to Louisville. Could this be what activated the gates? It was almost two hours before the next train came.
The second train was another HUGE train with mid train DPU. This train was going the same route as the first train. We never did catch an L&I train so I put up an old video of an L&I manifest that I filmed in 2018. Notice the awesome locomotives! Also notice the old railroad signals that are now long gone in Seymour.
Don't miss the dogs and the slide show near the end of the video. We were in Seymour for over 8 hours and only got a couple of CSX trains. The CSX road freights on the line to Cincinnati only run in that one direction. CSX uses another line called The Short Line in Kentucky to run trains from Cincinnati to Louisville. Best frequencies to use in Seymour are 160.725 for L&I and 160.230 for CSX. You can also use 160.320 to listen to the CSX dispatcher and I recommend using the EOT frequency of 452.9375 to know when a train is in the area.

Thank you introducing us to Seymour. Interesting.

[@MAGronemeyer]

Talk about a lot of gate runners! They were blasting through those railroad crossings! I thought it was bad in Hamilton, Ohio, but Seymour, Indiana takes the cake! Those two auto racks were super long that went through there. People today do not have any more patience, and they'd rather risk getting t-boned by a freight train thjan wait the train out.

My mother is from Seymour and I have been traveling there for years from Cincy on highway 50 for years. As a kid in the 80s and 90s, we would see trains all the time. Even west of Seymour on the CSX line. Not today. The Octoberfest is good. If you like pork tenderloin sandwiches, the fireman’s booth was a home run. Also the best cantaloupe and watermelon come from Seymour (Jackson County). Might have just missed them though. Check with any locals on that.

I like the Louisville & Indiana -2s locos. Beautiful horn sound the way it should be.

[@gheffz]

At least the two you saw, JT, where long trains which sort of made up for one you just missed at 10:30 AM. It's a good spot to film them from! It was good to see the flashback 2018 and Mrs. T.

[@JawTooth]

Thanks for watching! The 2 trains that we saw would probably have been four trains about 10 years ago. They are making them too long. I wish I knew what happened to the video that Mrs Tooth was making. I don't remember it.

[@moonspots01]

Good that you referenced Seymour, Indiana as John Cougar Mellencamp's hometown. Anyone who grew up in the 1980's will appreciate the reference. The video for "Small Town" was filmed in and around Seymour I believe. A staple of mid-1980's MTV.

Thanks for watching

[@robertf3479]

When I see a caboose on display I can't help picturing it repurposed as a cabin or "tiny home." Plenty of room for a couple inside if you don't mind being close. The L&I SDs look good and appear well cared for, especially the rebuilt SD40M2 leading. Thanks JT!

[@pgronemeier]

I was from Chicago, but I dated a girl in the 1980's from Seymour. I remember The Milwaukee Road going through. 👍 That freight station was the B&O/Milwaukee Road back in the day.

[@JawTooth]

Very cool!

[@Carolb66]

Wow JT, I don't think I've ever seen a train as long as those two! They were never ending just amazing to me from the UK. I never tire of seeing them on your videos. Nice to see Seymour in Indiana interesting place, the bite the bullet gunshop is a great name although I'm not into guns at all. The malfunction of the crossing was very entertaining too. Thanks JT. Love to your furbabies. ❤😊A beautiful day in Seymour 😍

[@armandoperez7967]

Nice! Louisville and Indiana SD45 and SD40-2! Cool!

[@armandoperez7967]

Although that SD45 is very likely an SD40-2 on the inside. A lot of them were rebuilt as such.

[@armandoperez7967]

The ‘45s lose the 20 cylinder engine when they are rebuilt and get a new or rebuilt 16 cylinder engine.

[@chrisperry1151]

Not sure if you take suggestions, but what about a video showing what you do when waiting for hours between trains. Do you take naps, do push ups, go out to eat? Could be a really cool video!

[@JawTooth]

That might be interesting. I try to look up info on the area that I am at and plan out different angles to film from if a train comes. I have to stay alert or a train will show up and I won't be ready. I rarely go anywhere to eat because that is when a train will come

He pulled this once with mom and I in the car.. needless to say, mom stopped dating him afterward. He scared the crap out of both of us. Santa Fe RR run about 70mph thru this section.

[@Steamer235]

The Indiana & Louisvile is former Pennsylvania RR line from Indy to Louisville, and trackage rights for other railroads, ie. ACL for their passenger train "The Champion" to and from Florida...CSX is former B&O line from Cincy to St. Louis. In 1969 President Eisenhower's Funeral Train passed by here on way to St Louis. Both lines were well used back in their days. I remember particular the 50's. I think someplace there may also be some evidence of an interurban line from Indy to Louisville. Thanks for the video, brings back some railroad memories.

[@brucegordon4924]

Many Thanks Jaw Tooth and @Steamer235 for the history! The Milwaukee Rd had a line into Seymour until around 1980, when it was abandoned.

I used to see a CSX train in the morning on my way to work that would be waiting on river rd to go into the Queensgate yard. Then I would see it later in the afternoon headed north in the Spring Grove village area. Was normally all auto racks and sometimes would also have truck frames on it

I met John Mellencamp many years ago when I was touring Indiana (where I grew up.) Seymour welcomed us and we played covers of his hit songs when he was doing his own tour. I would be lying if I said I got to "hang out" with him, but we were there!! I remember the disused towers that now have antennas on top, hard to forget. Those were indeed some long slow trains!

[@JawTooth]

That is cool that you met him and you were doing covers of his songs! Awesome stuff. I wonder if they have bands play at that new pavilion in the video

Most NB from L'ville to Cincinnati use this line and the SB's go down the line through La Grange. CSX recently spent a ton of money on the L&I to upgrade the line north of Seymour to Indianapolis for a more direct path to Chicago for the autoracks. If your in the area, check Franklin IN for a nice train museum. The section of town the rails go through look like "Mayberry" .
