Stalled Train Needs 5 Locomotives To Make It Up The Hill, Manned Helper Shoving The Rear Over Bridge

The Hill! Train Can't Make It Up The Hill Without 2 Extra Locomotives Pushing It Across A Massive Railroad Bridge & Up The Long, Steep Grade. Train eases down the hill with mid train DPU and passes the flange greasers near the bottom. These trains are in Kentucky near the Ohio River just across from Cincinnati. CSX, Union Pacific Railroad and Canadian Pacific Railway lead the first train while Union Pacific and CSX shove it up the hill. You would never know that this is the Norfolk Southern Railroad. This is the old CNO&TP railroad that runs from Cincinnati to Chattanooga , Tennessee.
The mixed train coming down had a couple of Norfolk Southern Railroad locomotives on the front and Norfolk Southern in the middle as a DPU. They had to creep down the hill and fight against gravity to keep the train under control. They have it down to a science though. We see the train passing the set of flange greasers. These squirt grease on the flanges to reduce wear and tear and it also keeps the noise down. This train was so long that my camera actually died on me with only about 20 cars left. If you were counting the cars, sorry, but just add 20 to your count. That train was the longest train that I have seen in a long time. It was hot and I tried not to shoot into the sun on that train. We finally got over 80 Fahrenheit. The heat actually got to me. I walked up the trail to the top of the hill and got overheated. There are trails all over the place since this is Devou Park but the trail that I took has no shade. I had a couple of tick bites that swelled up and were itching. So far this year I have already had 3 ticks stuck on me. I'm going to start taking tick repellant with me. I thought that I had a can of "Off" with me. I looked closely at it and discovered that it actually said "On" so maybe that explains it. I ain't never going back up there again.

I was upset with myself after I filmed this video because I noticed that my stabiliser was turned off. Ruined a great video. Sorry. Here is a video of a coal train that got dust all over me and ruined one of my famous shirts: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3TJmJiOj8d6gKc

[@beeble2003]

Video quality looked fine to me. And having the stabilizer off will have conserved battery, stopping it dying a lot sooner.

[@briandye860]

Things happen. No problem 😊.

[@robertgirdwood7216]

I thought the video looked fine. thanks for what you do for us. it isn't always easy is it?

[@LunarEquity93]

I understand you Jaw tooth hopefully this doesn't happen again and my phone has stabilization I already got it turned on but I plan on getting a tripod here soon so hopefully I won't have any more shaky videos anyway God bless and happy train chasing 🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂 I sometimes get upset when I try to make the perfect video and it sometimes ends up being blurry or shaky once I get my tripod I shouldn't have that problem anymore stay safe

[@neanderthal88]

I love your videos. Except...haha I've mentioned before the sound. For instance the sound of the midtrain dpu should have been roaring. It sound like a vacuum cleaner. The reason many of us enjoy train vids is the roar of the engines. Can you please look into this? Love the animals too.

[@BaFunGool]

The Ironworkers that built that bridge are long gone, though I get to marvel at their work.

[@tonyhoneyman3693]

Great catching

[@clineshaunt]

The sounds of the locomotives on the first train never get old. There’s a video of Stobe the Hobo going over this bridge I think. He’s going from Cincinnati to Danville.

[@JawTooth]

I remember seeing that video. At the time I had briefly communicated with him on here. Wanted to make a video with him

[@clineshaunt]

@@JawTooth that would have been cool. Right up there with your video when you met Shoestring.

[@skimmer8774]

Surprised to see about 7 or 8 brand new clean n shiny tanker cars on that last train. Niiiice 😮

[@aldo5428]

Seems to less graffiti on the cars lately…😊😊😊

[@RailRide]

@@aldo5428 With certain cars, it depends on how much time they spend in unsecured locations where taggers can get at them. No access=no graffiti. For example, coal and grain hoppers tend to run in solid trains between loading point and customer, not spending any time in yards or on sidings where vandals can get within "striking range", so very few of them are tagged.

[@johnrockstone]

The trains are just to dam long! The money they save is all lost when they have a derailment! The Dash-8's were looking good! Another great video!🙂🙂🙂

[@JawTooth]

I agree with you. I thought they were going to make them shorter though but I guess not

[@jeffstrains4014]

Reminds me of the USPS if it fits it ships lol

[@brianhickey5949]

That was definitely a cool train climbing the hill. Foreign power and plenty of it :) They emptied a couple of yards for that second train - wow! Watch those tick bites, JT. Some of them can end up making you very sick. Be safe!

[@JawTooth]

Yes, for sure. I was paranoid about Lyme disease. My sister had it once.

[@shaunwilliams4231]

Not a NS engine anywhere to be found 😮

[@thomasmackowiak]

The train coming up the hill needed the two manned DPUs to help it up the hill to Elsmere, Kentucky where the train will stop to allow the manned DPUs to uncouple to go back down the hill. The train was extremely long and must have been very heavy to require the manned DPUs. The train going downhill across the bridge needed that mid-train DPU in run 8 to help as a braking unit. That bridge south of Ludlow, Kentucky is a wonderful place to watch trains. Thank you for hiking to that location to capture these two trains, Jaw Tooth!

[@toddselph5992]

Great catches! That was cool to see that manned helper. Great video!

[@JawTooth]

Thank you very much!

I counted 116 including the locomotives and that was cool. They were working hard going up the hill. Loved it. Love counting the cars. That's what we like about your filming. You can actually count the cars unlike other Railfan videos. 😊You got a salute toot. Cool.😊😊 Sweet fur babies. ❤️ Thanks.

[@JawTooth]

Me too. I was in a few areas waiting all day for a big train to go up the hill and was about to give up and go home with this train came and the second one came minutes later. I was north of this area for hours and got a couple of short trains going up. One only had one engine and it was working hard with 23 cars so I will post that one soon

Great video and catch Jaw Tooth the CET stone train just had a derailment a day or so but luckily nobody got hurt I think the best thing the Cincinnati Eastern terminal really could do is get rid of the old rails and ties and put in some fresh new ones at least they haven't had as many derailments that Norfolk Southern has had over the last month or so

[@DTD110865]

Is it just me, or is foreign power used more often during bad times? I remember during the 1970's the Long Island Rail Road was using a lot of equipment from the Providence & Worcester and Bangor & Aroostook Railroads.

[@garymiller5937]

Fantastic train. Possibly the longest I've ever seen. And even if it's only black, the tanks with the new paint are cool 😊 . What beautiful country side, also. Thanks for the video. 😊😊

[@paulbergen9114]

Once again the Cincinnati area assembles every car they can find. But when you put it on a great bridge in some real sweet light you can't go wrong with that kind of live-action. Those manned pushers on the first train were really giving it every bit of Tractive effort

[@beeble2003]

6:35 Totally unrealistic weathering on that tank car. 🤣

[@JawTooth]

I would keep that one off my layout and definitely wouldn't apply that bad word. Lol

[@BrianPhillips-le3gl]

I counted 180 cars before the camera cut out, so that train had 200 cars! That's the longest one I've seen since I've been watching your channel. Prior to that I counted one that had 161 cars. And thanks for the " dad" joke about the can of OFF spray!

Hello Jaw tooth foreign power units are a lot more common then you think. Distant Signal aka Donny Harmon has a video about that subject. The movie "We are Marshall" filmed in 2006 has a scene that was filmed at coach Red Dawson's house on Barger hill in Kenova WV. It was the point when coach Jack Lengyel played by Matthew McConaughey "All Right All Right" visited Red Dawson's played by Matthew Fox mentions a train in the distance you see a "Union Pacific" loco on the "Norfork Southern" line coming from Ohio. Back then not so much now its common. Keep the shows coming. If you can get a chance see the old Norfolk Western line that was bypassed from Nagatuck WV, Lenore WV, Dingess WV, Wayne WV to Kenova WV
