See the comparison of both trains leaving at the same time... The last and the new Triple Crown!!!

[@Carolb66]

Thanks Ty for all the effort & hard but enjoyable work you put into all your video's. 😊❤👍

[@therailroadtiespiker]

@@Carolb66 thank you Carol so much for all your support!!!!

[@nancyhodges444]

Really doesn't look like a true roadrailer imo. Going to miss those special trains. Awesome catches Ty!

[@radioactivepenguin34official]

not true roadrailers, just an intermodal with only spinecars now ☹

[@quintinivey9359]

I was wondering where was that ICG auto box car at. Original paint and reporting marks. Good to see it back in the rotation.

[@therailroadtiespiker]

@@quintinivey9359 I hadn’t seen it in a few months then caught it the last few 181 trains in the past week

Definitely a nice shot of both roadrailers at the same time. Sure am gonna miss the old roadrailers. Dave

[@therailroadtiespiker]

@@NSWLE thank you Dave for watching… I did plan getting both trains in the same location but it was a bonus that the 251 left at the same time of the day as the last 255. It just came together perfectly. Lol

[@samschaeffer8236]

Very nice touch on the comparison video.

[@therailroadtiespiker]

@@samschaeffer8236 thank you for watching…. It was really fun putting the 2 videos together.

A lot of the 9800/9900 series dash 9s seem to be getting the thoroughbred logo after repairs.

[@therailroadtiespiker]

@@Elifilmstrains yes they are

[@EntertainmentWorldz]

@@EntertainmentWorldz thank you so much for watching

[@Carolb66]

Loved the video Ty, nice horn salute from N/S crews! The Indiana azure sky was amazing as usual it always seems to be glorious when you are filming. Fab comparison of the old & new triple crown & i have to say i love the new green train. ❤😊👍

[@marywyatt5748]

I counted 18 of the old roadrailers on that first one

[@therailroadtiespiker]

@@marywyatt5748 they say in a few months they’ll be all gone

[@zachbates6541]

Great wonderful catches and great video good sir

Yours always welcome

[@montaviouswilliams806]

I miss those roadrailers those thing is awesome Dave

[@therailroadtiespiker]

@@montaviouswilliams806 yes they were…. I kinda had a tear in my eye when the last one rolled by.

[@Sacto1654]

They just converted them to container on flat car (COFC) operations. But are we that's a good idea given the extra weight of the flat car that have to be pulled?

[@therailroadtiespiker]

@@Sacto1654 I’ve been told Ford is still wanting to bring back the Roadrailer so we’ll see

[@floydrandol2731]

Road-railers had to high Tare weight. Now they can use stock trailers and increase load weight.

[@alschuler5437]

The RoadRailer's that I counted were around 100 trailers before the change.

[@bigwurn]

I remember the train being so long they had to use a crossover connector in the middle.

[@Norfolksouthernproduction-ns]

That’s the train with the stuck horn

[@trevorcooke8129]

I Like RoadRailers but they are just don't look like a train

[@stevelaue1298]

I've watched a number of your videos and generally speaking I find that the photography is pretty good and the subjects interesting. I was, however, disappointed and a little upset with this one. The viewer shouldn't have to wait 25 minutes into the video before you finally get around to showing what you promised in the title. If you promise a comparison clip in the title, that clip should be FIRST or you should make it a stand alone video. You're not a politician; you don't have to tease your audience but then make them wait for the result. By the way, I thought the clip itself was pretty good once I got to it.

[@therailroadtiespiker]

@@stevelaue1298 boy that was long winded 😂

[@nphil1229]

A lot of content creators will put their headined clip at or near the end, presumably to get folks to watch longer. If you're watching the whole video anyway, delayed gratification shouldn't be that much of a problem.

[@therailroadtiespiker]

@@nphil1229 thank you for the comment. Watching the videos longer pays for the gas in my tank and helps pay for my equipment so I can capture these videos.
