Short Line Railroad Switching In America, Heavy Train On Steep Grade With 3 Unusual Locomotives CCET

[@wtxrailfan]

Another great video, JT. Domino's Pizza ought to give you some free pizza. Cool to see Chessie and Norfie becoming pals. Thanks for your hard work.

[@StuartAxe]

Three toppings and any crust for $7.99.. wow! Just kiddin' JT, great video once again. Really love your channel! Thank you for all your hard work ;-)

[@marycope5858]

Seeing Chessie and Kitty having a great time together is so precious!, I hope kitty gets to stay and make life-long friends with Chessie and the others... Thank you Jaw Tooth!!

[@charleendunn5446]

Great video!! Looks like Chessie has definitely found a new playmate. 😻

[@steverusie6986]

Awesome video! You were not able to film the switching but hearing the radio and watching the engines was awesome! Nice seeing Chessie and the kitten playing! Glad the son started the video. 👍

[@chesterraybon3442]

WOW! Hadn't seen a Pan Am boxcar in a while. Gotta love that red and black with a racing stripe. Another great location. Take care.

[@JawTooth]

Thanks for watching Chester!

[@paulwarner5395]

Also notice a Wisconsin Central car as well.

[@arthurschierhoff6485]

I like the sound of these older locomotives.

[@usnusmcret]

Love the interaction with B&O and Chessie. They play well together

[@rsbennett6589]

Love that pair of engines , 1657 & 1686. Great paint scheme. Always interesting to watch them. Thanks JT.

[@JawTooth]

Glad you like them! I like them also

Beautiful classic power! Love the sound of those engines pulling the hill! Great video Jawtooth! Thanks for sharing!

[@johndouglas5712]

That Pan Am boxcar is wild . I never saw anything like it . I knew that cat was a winner from the first look .

[@deanstrand4260]

Very cool switching video, JT! Even if we couldn't see everything, we sure could hear it. Glad to see that Chessie has taken the new little kitten under her wing. I bet she's trying to be like a "mama" to her.

[@dogyerf21]

I’m not sure which is more fun, watching a short line come back to life or your dog and cat wrestling. They definitely stole the show!

[@kennylykens]

Good job

[@JawTooth]

Thanks Kenny!

[@thomasmackowiak]

Great video Brian! Thank you for explaining why the Peavine Line is called by that name. I was windering why this former Norfolk & Western had that name. I enjoyed the switching moves in Batavia, Ohio. That was interesting to watch the train moving back and forth across the bridge. I understand why you were reluctant to cross that street in order to do some recording from that view point. I was watching the vehicles moving on that street and I had the feeling that the vehicles were moving fast. Your shot of the train comming up to the summit of the hill was enhanced by the driver who stopped at the crossing and then backed up so that he/she was not blocking your view of the train coming up the hill to the crossing. Keep up your documenting of the Cencinnati Eastern.

[@jeromekay2106]

I like that the bridge at Bayavia still has "Norfolk & Western" painted on it.

[@JawTooth]

The line side N&W signals are still here also although not in use

[@barrybrown175]

Me too. It looks recent - I'm pleasantly surprised that it was repainted in N&W.

[@newmanstrucking5834]

[@JawTooth]

Thanks and thanks for being second person to comment!

[@train1962]

That train was like going back in time.That location at the top of the hill is probably the best on the line.Great spot for watching those locomotives work.Looks like the dog enjoys his new playmate.Thanks and thumbs up Brian.

[@JawTooth]

Thanks Steve 👍

@Stone Faith Patriot chessie is a girl

[@arettaschils9405]

So glad Chessie adopted the kitten. When our Buddy was alive, out of our 5 cats, the black one was his pal. Buddy was so sad when Sootie just disappeared one day.

[@tomroise9426]

I love watching dogs play with kittens. So entertaining…. Relaxing

[@t.j.carroll8512]

Great to hear those locomotives pulling up the hill. You can see reporting marks from all over. Saw IATR on several of the boxcars, you were just there, Iowa Traction. What a small world.

[@gerrymckenna4878]

Very interesting video with the added extra efforts by you crossing that road!! Well done. For some reason though I feel really hungry now :)

[@JawTooth]

Thanks for watching down there in Winchester Kentucky and God bless you also!

[@audreygatey1274]

It’s like Chessie loves the little dog, Norfie, but wonders about why all the pointy toes.

[@mikemissel7785]

Love how the grinder bridge is marked the Norfolk and Western RY

[@JawTooth]

That is really awesome! Its also painted

[@cczoe5585]

I genuinely enjoy your Batavia, Ohio CCET videos!!!! Plenty of boxcars and customer delivery and switching action make these videos first rate and first class!!!! Please keep them coming!!!! The UCRY boxcars with the small blue “SAPPI” decal to the left of the door (most visible in video minutes 18:18 to 19:50 and 21:52 to 23:30) are, as you noted, most likely loaded with paper, in these cars, paper manufactured by SAPPI (SAPPI Limited, originally incorporated as South African Pulp and Paper Industries Limited in 1936) which has 2 mills in Maine, one in Westbrook and one in Skowhegan. These SAPPI tagged UCRY boxcars appear to be in dedicated or assigned service to SAPPI and loaded cars originate on PanAm Railways and are interchanged with both NS and CSX. In carrying SAPPI paper, the cars were very likely loaded at the SAPPI mill in Skowhegan, Maine, which has an extensive railroad infrastructure (loading areas and yards).

[@RailfanNetwork]

Good Monday Morning Jawtooth!! Have a GREAT week!

I like that N&W bridge crossing the four lane highway with the train on it of course, Those GP15's have a good throaty sound as they pull.

[@toddselph5992]

Another great video. We had a black kitten show up at our house too. My Daughter named him Kirk. Lol

[@JawTooth]

I haven't had a cat in years. I like them but I hope she doesn't catch my birds

[@icyphenom8038]

With the line growing and pulling that much freight they may need to invest in a couple of sd40-2s. Of course one with a beautiful k5la and the other a classic Prime 920. Just my opinion though. Always like seeing Norfie and Chessie . They look like best buds. 😀

[@WideWorldofTrains]

Cool catches, love those units

[@martinmarsola6477]

Another great video. Chessie and her Buddy! Looks like they get along! 😊👍🇺🇸

[@jltaviation]

Double barrel grainer up front... Good ride. Thanks for sharing.

[@paulbergen9114]

This tape is one of my favorites in that the units stepping out in town plus up the hill are great sounds. Is Main St part of any old US Hey? The 7 piers in every corner just speak volume's of post WW2. progress. Seeing the piece of post on those concrete steps really made my day. I wouldn't be surprised if after the new bridge was built there was no easy access road much less a street to the depot. So you could get to the passenger trains this had to do. We've got something like this in Milwaukee off 58th St north of State east of now thru street Hawley Rd Along with the arch by the huge sewer connection to the creek the large eagle proudly proclaims WPA 1935. The pathway made from hewn limestone hasn't been walked on in years and was for bus passengers way back when. It still ends on the side yard of a home on Notre Dame Ct forgotten to time except for us who appreciate the era of growth with unique skills and design. Many thanks! Oh yes this was the correlation of Stephen Dembrowski who shoots Pan Am where the paper loads start WWOT catches the cars on the main and your tape shows the CCET delivery. Now that takes some doing!

[@JawTooth]

That would be cool. I hope they get it running again.

[@mshum538]

@@JawTooth Brian, I agree, those engines had a road/ switching selector that allowed the traction motors to transition and more then likely that engine we are focused on here has a ( ground fault ) in one of its traction motors and more then likely it will be hauled in tow back to where it was acquired from for a swap out, CSX does TM swap outs on the line of road being an easy fix and it’s costly for any high capacity engine to be out of service and back hauled because the repair facilities are to far apart…..”line of road” repairs are common today…..it would be cool if you can ever capture one, keep the video going son……👍mike~~~

Sweeet video Jaws....did you ever find out more about the stairs? I have seen stairs like these from earlier times when the railroads were more relevant to peoples daily lives and there were many passenger locals operating....and stairs like those shown...would lead to a boarding strip or "platform" ...to allow local passenger stops...

The "hissing and spitting" is the air compressor pop off valves.

How heavy was the train? You can tell from the locomotive sound how steep the slope at summit hill is. Chessie and the little tiger playing... wonderful. Greetings from Berlin/ Germany. Sven

Most of those boxcars weigh a little bit over 100 tons each when fully loaded. The smaller boxcars are about 80 tons loaded. Greetings Sven!

[@Sven_Okas1967]

@@JawTooth Thanks, I'll now calculate a round

[@Sven_Okas1967]

So 35 cars with an average total weight of 90 tons makes a total of 3150 tons just for the cars. Ok, now it is understandable why you also need 3 locomotives. With only 1 or 2 you would fail miserably at the summit.

Good on the folks in Batavia for keeping the 'heritage' bridge, i.e., Norfolk & Western, from being graffiti marred. In other news, switching is always time consuming. Curious abut the first box, i.e., ATW. The Atlantic and Western Railway (reporting mark ATW) is a Class III short-line railroad operating about 10 miles (16 km) of track in Lee County, North Carolina. Atlantic and Western is part of Genesee & Wyoming Inc. and formerly part of Rail Management and Consulting. It was reorganized in 1927 from the Atlantic and Western Railroad. FYI.
