So that's where the trains I send to you go LOL

[@denisberger9657]

Nothing better than seeing a remote control loco going into a sharp curve on that 1st train going into the yard.

[@josephwoehlerii2855]

What grumbly auto rack parade that was, Thank you jawtooth!

[@BudgieJane]

In the UK we would call a curve that sharp a "train-set curve", because it resembles the curves you get in train sets.

I like the view under the bridge of the gritty urban area. I lived two blocks from the Milwaukee Road downtown yard back in the 70's, and it reminds me of that. Good job JT!

Loved this!! Fabulous Video 👍👏👏

[@neil442]

For a change they filled the yard with that one -not emptied it Jawtooth !!! The tanks was a nice short number -but mannnnnnn the last was something else !! Norfie is sooo happy these days with your family -im so glad you took her on board and helped out !! Regards

[@Lisascornerlot120]

Excellent signal action and multi track

[@Nano-pj4lh]

Thank you for these images offering a beautiful prospect of trains leaving what seems to be a sorting station in the background. As their speed is weak, we have time to observe in detail locomotives and cars.

[@bluesboyst]

Cool area...That is near the old AMSHACK station....I pulled in there in the 1970's.....Storrs yard was still active then....Nice video son......

[@larrywalker7759]

Some comments about graffiti. The culture easily costs the public untold millions of dollars. Consider that most of the paint you see has been shoplifted or stolen in other ways because this genre of "artists" are not purchasing the materials. Also consider that the railroads must reapply any official numbering and coding where the graffiti has covered them up. Consider in the case of the auto racks that paint overspray has damaged many new vehicle finishes that must be corrected when the vehicle reaches the destination.

[@chesterraybon3442]

Amen to that !!

[@davidmihevc3990]

Exactly Larry. A point I have used to folks that think its " cool", is ask them if they would feel the same way about it if someone painted the side of their home or vehicle. Yeah, not so much. Same deal, RR cars are someone's property as well.

[@paulbergen9114]

Sadly auto racks need those small holes to provide light for the folks who loaded and secure the cars. After a car is boogered up they're left that way because they won't paint over someone's art or cant incorporate the old drawing and that's from 2 folks @ TTX

[@larrywalker7759]

@@paulbergen9114 yes, sadly the rail car owners know there is no point in spending money to put the car back to corporate livery because it will simply get defaced again. They have to settle for only restoring official railroad data and other coding.

[@paulbergen9114]

@@larrywalker7759 back in the day if a car came in for shop work Wisconsin.Central would try to touch up the car. It was a guy with a roller but they tried. At present plastic pellets cars NCIX & NCUX are touched up frequently the only place I know if that takes it seriously

[@terrymarshall8874]

I saw the title Old Main Line and I got excited - we have the original Old Main Line here in Maryland. It was the beginning of the old B&O from Baltimore to Ellicott City, Maryland (about 10 miles). Since the first train ran in the 1800's it was extended to Brunswick, MD and west. It is still an active line hauling double stacks, autos, coal, ethanol to the port at Baltimore. I enjoyed seeing this (and al of your videos).

[@icecold1950]

WOW! Great video Jaw Tooth. The long train on the tight curve was awesome!!!!

[@jerroldkazynski5480]

Just west of the Tehachapi Loop and downhill is an extended length of a tight curve. I had a field project nearby with an elevated view of the curve. All wheel flanges were screaming the entire time they were in the curve. Uphill with 3 units leading and variable pushers in the mix, the trains aren't speeding. Scenic mountain setting, with several tunnels visible from highway CA-58, but the loop isn't. Some memorable wrecks along this stretch, back to steamer days. My Dad had a great book on this section.

[@icosthop9998]

Make it seem like the steamer days were not as safe as it is today with the modern locomotives 🧐

[@michlo3393]

6 horseshoe curves and a loop, 12-14 degree curves everywhere, and all of it on mountain grade, between 2.2 and 2.9%. Tehachapi is a terrible grind, home to over a dozen string line derailments a year while still being one of the busiest stretches of single-track mainline in the country.

[@Phantom-Signal]

Great spot

[@thomasmackowiak]

Thank you for documenting these trains, Jaw Tooth! That was neat to see the three trains at once. That auto rack train was a HUGE. I noticed that the auto rack train was initially struggling as it came up the hill to come to that sharp curve. After a while I moticed that the auto rack train was moving faster as the engines got it moving. Those flood walls are something to see. I presume that the wall plugs that go into the flood walls where the train tracks go through the flood wall are close to the openings so that they can be put in place when they are needed. Thank you for uploading this video!

[@mshum538]

Tom, their was no struggle at all, with those “ high capacity “ engines, the operating protocol requires being able to stop within one half the range of vision plus the signal inside of the curve was out of vision ( sight) that you have to prepare to stop for and in this case the signal displayed an aspect allowing it to proceed without stopping….ms

[@thomasmackowiak]

@@mshum538 thank you for the insight on why the engineer was proceeding so slowly as he came up the hill and around the curve. I did not realize that he had to be able to stop within a specific distance from the signal if the signal would not allow him to proceed. Thank you for your knowledge and insght!

[@michaelgarrity6090]

Thomas, I think the Public Works department for the City of Cincinnati has a place or places that they store those flood wall sections. I've watched them close up the wall down on Mehring Way, which is a road down below the city along the river. They bring in the pieces there on a truck and put them in place with a boom on another truck. They seem to work pretty fast when floods threaten the city. You know it's going to be a bad one when they seal off those walls, it disrupts so many things when they do put them up, but then again, the river does that when it goes to major flood stage.

[@conexioncosmicaarcturiana]

[@americanmultigenic]

I grew up near Morpeth, in Northumberland, England. It has the tightest curve (17 chains or 340 metres radius) of any main railway line in the United Kingdom. Several serious/fatal accidents have happened there on northbound trains. Indeed, the UK rail system now features "Morpeth Boards" which are like AWS signals but for upcoming speed restrictions (because of curves, or whatever).

Great good video, mr Jaw Tooth. That CSX train with boxcars for automobiles that was a long one. I guess two trains in one therefor a DPU. But man what a busy railyard overthere tree trains into the yard and one waiting. Greet from Zandvoort the Netherlands.

[@thomasboese3793]

Not "boxcars", "Auto-Racks". A boxcar can/will carry anything fit to put into it, where "only" vehicles are carried in the long train cars. Note the auto-racks only have end doors, on both ends so the vehicles can be driven from one end of the cut of cars being loaded/unloaded to the other end. Perhaps this video will help you fully understand the unloading. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3zOZYCKf5eepac And this one, the "loading". Enjoy the "drive". kzbin.info/www/bejne/paLGZ3qJgs2foNE

[@paulbergen9114]

Watching that local.leave I think that's the first time I've seen them yellow strobe lights on. Tight as that curve was no big screeching. That horseshoe style curve makes me think of the SP @ Colton. There must be enough grease from that flange lubricator on the outbounds to keep these long racks quiet. Good train handling with no sudden stops or acceleration lest one leave a heap 'o cars laying on their sides. As for CIND in the distance take a number and wait your turn. Appreciate the behind the scenes tour to Cincy

That was really fantastic, Jaw Tooth! Never thought that a major transcontinental railroad would have such tight curves!

Really appreciate this.

[@SirLANsalot]

there is one in New York on a video from a while back that is tighter then this that leads into an industry. Only 4 axel GP's are allowed to do the switching of it, since it also goes into the building itself. I forget who posted it but its a crazy tight curve.

[@jdlives8992]

I love Trains. We had a ball riding them beside the train on our dirt bikes. The conductors would have fun too. They would goose the motors sometimes. Once did a mission trip into West Virginia and it was the first time we ever had a chance to see them slow down and stop. Of course we would ride on them and crawl all over them but man when they started moving faster and faster we would have to bail. Awesome videos !
