RS5T horn on a GP9 Youngtown & Southeastern Railroad IBCX 222 trash train on bad track

[@craigpennington1251]

No wonder these guys are creeping along. Condition of those rails & ties are very bad. Great video. That whole line needs a complete overhaul.

[@wolfgangpfeilergartenbahnd6530]

A railway company unknown to me, especially the locomotives are very interesting. The sound of the engines and the horns is fantastic. A great video and excellently filmed.

Shortline called Youngstown Southeastern 40 me shortline known to only use Geep locomotive

[@nopenotme6369]

Nicely done, your camera and production work is excellent.

[@georgettedebuhr2660]

Beautiful work, beautifully shot. That first locomotive needs a paint job and those tracks need work. Have a nice day 😊

[@unpasaro]

Awesome filming, what a pleasure to see this, thank you

[@tylerbundy3401]

Excellent footage and production in this video. Well done! 222 is one of the last surviving Illinois Central GP9s. These were the folks that brought us the Paducah GP10, and, as such, most of their GP9s were heavily modified. 222 is one of only three that I'm aware of that survive roughly unmodified out of the several hundred examples the IC rostered. It even has three of its "eyelids" over the class lights; a classic IC feature!

[@25mfd]

so the 222 is a GP9? with only two roof fans?

[@tonyromano6220]

@@25mfdmodified? No dynamic brakes when built is how it looks.

[@tonyromano6220]

11:38 great video! Well done!❤❤

[@tylerbundy3401]

@@25mfd The last "phase" of GP9 production used two 48" fans in place of the earlier four 36" fans. 222 is a late-model GP9. Dynamic brake-equipped locomotives would have another 48" fan over the brake blister in the middle of the hood, but the Illinois Central didn't buy the dynamic brake option on their GP9s.

Between the slow speed the older engines and the commodity being handled it's like the Uncle Fester and Western. The fences made out of old corrugated pipe anduto fenders as theast buildings that have seen better days. For starters the better part of a forest of railroad ties to be inserted. Then @14:00 the crew got the jostle left and jostle right. That section of trackage between the two streets makes one think of an old Interurban line and with the autumn colors made for a more impressive look at the Shortline

The managed decline of America.

[@tonyromano6220]

This would make a great model railroad!

[@1Nanerz]

Second unit still has its old CN number boards. No more RCL equipment though. I’ve been on that engine

[@HavelockYard]

Awesome Work!! Love the rough short line track and ex CN GP9RM!!

[@NELSONRRVIDS]

I love the old geeps. Great job editing

[@punchfisttop]

Beautifully shot. That is some wonky track.

[@1940limited]

Great video. Bad track, low speed, weathered GP9. Lots of trash on this one. What's in the closed boxcars? Nice to see those new ties along the right-of-way. It needs them.

[@cdavid8139]

The boxcars are used to haul scrap paper from North Lima to Niagara Falls.

[@jimikrentkowski4073]

Looked like they were empties ( by looking at the springs at least🤔)

[@jeffmurphree2937]

Love this video! One of your best!!! Thank you!

[@TheNorthwestWind]

looks like theyre getting ready to do some major track work

[@alex84896]

Much needed track work

[@lowellvillerailfanproductions]

The have been working on part of line in boardman

[@BlackMan614]

State of Ohio probably bought those ties for the shortline. That's kinda how things work in that world.

[@lowellvillerailfanproductions]

@@BlackMan614 a lot of the main line fore the shortline has been replaced with new ties however the interchange points ties are still old and some are broken.

[@16grrr]

NARCOA is riding on the Youngstown & Southeastern RR this Saturday 8/19/2023 that would make a nice video

[@je2383]

Amazing how these old work horses continue to go soldier on under less than ideal conditions.

[@MikeG42]

Excellent video ! 😁👍

[@oldprophet]

GP9? A rarity. Good catch:)

[@lowellvillerailfanproductions]

Both are actually

[@nadrisnesbitt7376]

I wouldn't mess with a Train that has a RS5T horn 😂😂😂😂

[@105C09]

A shoestring railroad. The engines need paint and the track is in dismal shape.

[@Enjoyer.762]

Looks like a daily adventure to not derail.

[@Rtzee]

Dueces! Good vid. Thanks!

[@tonyromano6220]

5:45 new ties!

[@WMAC_Master]

looks like they will replace the ties at some point. great video!

[@petersipp5247]

So like GP9's, ty for this.

[@FrogandFlangeVideo]

Hi Scott. Terrific footage here, including your aerial views. Nice flying, my friend. Can you tell me anything about the RS5T ? Thank you. James.

[@stinchjack]

I hope they have the money for some MOW

[@alex84896]

Those tracks are almost certainly unsafe for trains

[@sernajrlouis]

Cool video

[@tonyromano6220]

2:12 cool

[@nightlightabcd]

Are there wheels missing on these cars? I've never seen anything like this before!

[@beeble2003]

No wheels missing. Why did you think there are?

[@willcutt1975]

I've actually seen worse at least they plan on new ties thats a good beginning.

[@tonyromano6220]

Junk rails, junk equipment, hauling junk. USA baby!

[@dulcegallardo7105]

Si era de Nacionales de México la GP9 de nariz alta y Ferromex no adquirió la GP9 de nariz alta, Porque no es de Ferromex

[@25mfd]

@ 4:08... the ends of some of those ties are resting on nothing but air... better get the M.O.W. boys out there let em' work their magic now @ 5:32... looks like they did do some work there... that looks fine

[@Enjoyer.762]

There are 3rd world counties laughing at how poorly maintained those tracks are. Pathetic.

[@kelvintorrence5994]

well the usa is great at fixing up other counties crap, butt when it comes home we are forgotting and its our tax dollars
