Street Running Train! HEAVY Coal Train In The Middle Of The Road! Elizabeth, Pennsylvania Train

[@tinnybird1971]

AAAAaaa! Those BEAUTIFUL blue & yellow engines! Gotta ring my cowbell for this one! This was a GOOD long train overall! I'm binge watching your videos! Watching videos from Speaker Police brought me to your channel & that's how I discovered you! Then added your channel. Thanks for sharing!

[@JawTooth]

Thanks for watching my videos!

[@jeanjean9343]

I wondered if they were Coke cars, but they appear to be coal. The Coke is much coarser, and apparently lighter, the cars used to transport it are higher, like the cars seen, but an extension is added to the top. I worked over 20 years at the Coke plant nearby, I've been in Elizabeth often in my life, I had no idea those tracks were there. The closest ones on the street I knew of is in Brownsville PA. Learn something new everyday. Great video, I'll be looking to see if they're still active, I'll take the grandkids there one day soon, and we'll wait for a train too. Thanks much for the great work.

[@JawTooth]

Thanks for your comments! Elizabeth is a great place to watch trains and there are a couple of small parks in town where you can view the river. Thanks for watching my video!

[@peterolsen3797]

WOW! good for your video capture. Did you notice not one car had a flat spotted wheel! Out west here its easy to get a train with many defective (?) wheels pounding away. Congrates CSX!

[@LectronCircuits]

Street-running trains are a wonderful enhancement to any community, and should be modeled in all popular scales. Cheers!

[@georgesealy4706]

Thanks. It's fun to see good old southwestern PA. I am originally from California and Coal Center, PA. I lived a block from the tracks. Sometimes 30 coal trains a day all hours. They would get the house shaking pretty good.

[@revharrycwigmoreiii5787]

Super long Coal loaded Coal train down the middle of town. I will have to get out my truck driving maps and find where this town is. Thanks Jaw Tooth, enjoy looking thru your Street running trains.

[@JawTooth]

Have fun! I have a lot of them. I want to film more of them in towns that I haven't been in yet

[@revharrycwigmoreiii5787]

sounds good to me.@@JawTooth

[@cbgadget4740]

Nice catch Brian, those locomotives had their work cut out on that train, I know them locos had approx 9,000 HP running the traction motors but that was still a lot of loaded coal cars. GO CSX 👍👍👍😎😎😎 Cary

[@excalibur7185]

Made me wonder if they had enough dynamic braking for that large a haul. Guess very flat terrain.

[@Peasmouldia]

Excellent catch sir. I do love a bit of street railroad, very rare here in the UK these days. Coal train was bloody huge. Thank you sir.

[@train1962]

Street Runners are great! Fully loaded coal train on top of it.Thanks for the excellent video.

[@steveschlackman4503]

You were in Elizabeth in 2019. Elizabeth is far from Harrisburg where I live. You would go anywhere to see a street running train. Keep up the train spotting m

[@CWproductions2288]

A few months ago I was in Elizabeth, I saw those tracks and wondering if they were abandoned, great vid

[@jeffreysmith206]

Would love to know the concept of street running, railroads were there 1st before towns or this was their only ridaway available. Many of the old interurbans and street car companies used street running, not as many as there use to be . Need to do a study on why street running came to be . It looks so cool, great video ! Jeff Dallas

[@dckuk]

In this case it looks like the line went past a station; the tan bay-window building looks like a station to me, so may explain it. Check out 3:06 for one example...

[@1940limited]

I love street running. It's one of my favorite forms of railroading.

[@billroth2807]

On the return trip, visit West Brownsville, PA (just south of I-70). The NS Mon Line street runs for about 3,000 feet. At Amity St crossing in Homestead, you have a choice of the 2-track NS Mon Line or 1-track CSX Pittsburgh Sub.

[@georgesealy4706]

I am from that area. When I was real young I saw steam locomotives running down that street.

[@jeffreyg3831]

Nice video Brian! Street runners are the best! Thanks 🙏

[@porkchop2218]

Brian nice video. I think the boy on the bike just gave you a friendly wave. Maybe he’s a cam fan . 😂 he’s probably going to ride his bike up the track and back to pick up some free coal to burn in the winter.

[@trainjunky247]

4th car from last "crotch rot" .. must be the coal train I see come through Charleston WV once in awhile lol

[@foxgeirgesda]

Kevin Buchecker Comes every once and again through Huntington, too...there can *only* be one of those cars!

[@trainjunky247]

Lol

[@Mercatoyd]

you always catch the neatest footage.. thanks again for sharing

[@davidallen6333]

Cool catch Brian ! you don't realize how big these trains are until you get close up to them , a monster long CSX coal train ! You got to have lots of patients living in this town ! I'm very surprised that it only had 2 locos on the front and no DPU's !

[@thepozfromoz5166]

Dats perdy cool sheet bud! Not everyday ya have a train running down the middle of yer town! 👍👍👍👍

[@HirenPatel-zq8ly]

Beautiful Horn

[@angrodNumenesse]

I live across the river in Clairton. I hear these trains blowing their horns every day as they go through Elizabeth.

[@MartyLJ57]

On my 62 Birthday Awesome

[@sanddabz5635]

Happy Birthday!

[@fernandoruas3562]

Hello from Brazil! Very good videos!

[@gilleslanher1047]

Bonsoir Jaw très impressionnant train de minerai de charbon traversant un cartier d' Elizabeth tracter par deux diesels beaucoup de pollution en ville !! à bientot.

[@waynepattison1519]

Awesome work, great dedication to get your brilliant videos online for us all around the world to see. Wayne . New Zealand

[@jrcc7087]

DAM!!! That's a long train!! Driver probably fell asleep waiting!...LOL...

[@Nick19962010]

Hey Jawtooth! My brother (Cincy RailFan Productions) filmed CSXs new Tier 4 ACEs going through Covington. They looked sharp!

[@olentangy74]

Well, CSX sure can’t complain about you encroaching on RR property where you are shooting from!

[@petebachelder1131]

Wow long heavy coal train with no DPU or pushers on the rear, those two engines were working hard !! Wooooooooooo !!

[@JawTooth]

Thanks for watching

[@jeffreybaker100]

As always, an excellent job you do! Enjoy your week!

[@daledrawbond1222]

Awesome street running train loaded with coal !

[@roseskindaeverything887]

That's one big daddy! it's so green n pretty there🌹 thanks for sharing

[@ronfogarty7227]

Very nice jawtooth that was cool keep up the good work

[@Berger5307]

I live here and honestly it’s not as loud as you’d think, after awhile you don’t even notice it

[@quest2outdoors]

Thank you for sharing always look forward to your videos :-) peace

[@r.severn7479]

Wow, that was a long train!

[@johnhull6363]

Please add that all suburban fire companies are volunteer...that fire hall, equipment, and most importantly firefighters are Volunteer and equipment purchased through donations grants and fundraising

[@miriambucholtz9315]

I noticed that in the sign on the building. I have the greatest respect for them.

[@mbosick1]

The train that you miss would be coming on a return trip in couple of hours. Right across the River is Norfolks Southern yard Shire Oak in El Rama, PA

[@RubenMartinez-bj2ic]

What a perfect place to hop a train!

[@mikep.541]

Train is actually running down hill. Its heading for McKeesport, which is north, toward Pittsburgh. The Monongahela River, which is to the conductors left, is flowing in the same direction. Thus, not a hard pull. Probably do a power switch out in Riverton.

[@jfreelan1964]

Looks more like an alley way than a street.

[@RubenMartinez-bj2ic]

jfreelan1964 That's what I thought too.

[@justaoldman5419]

Obviously you've never been to Elizabeth or West Elizabeth south of Pittsburgh that's about as wide as all the streets are

[@jrcc7087]

Exactly! The only difference here in Erie, PA is they don't use them anymore.

[@donjuan6324]

Nope not an Alleyway , it is an actual street,.. First Ave to be more specific ,.( look it up on Google maps)

[@carbon2983]

its a residential street

[@Letsgoexplore2468]

Huge was right.. been cool to jump on one and ride it a few blocks.. cool video man..

[@dckuk]

That is an awesome catch. Thanks for sharing!

[@erict.8190]

Very nice coal train jawtooth some times u have wait for a good train to come by. Tc sir

[@metrolinkamtraklovesturtle722]

I love trains

[@kevinhoward9593]

Sad part is that's enough coal for one day of electricity.

[@iusetano]

Excellent video Brian.

[@colin5296]

Awesome , i wish that baby would come up my street.

[@northamericanrailfan2017]

Hey Jaw Tooth I visited a small town in Kentucky today called Midway and it has RJ Corman railway right thru downtown between one way streets. Thought you might want to check it out sometime by the rails it seems like a busy line.

[@steveb5714]

Big , long train. Great video.

[@sanddabz5635]

I see JC Penny's has their own car at 3:13~

[@bobgallo2178]

Hey Brian, had I known you were in the Pittsburgh area, I would have tied to meet ya. Thanks for posting.

[@espnluver7525]

Bob Gallo I’m from the Philly area

[@bob39434]

You should go over to West Brownsville and catch some NS street running coal train live action

[@neil442]

Now theres something a bit different-fire station I mean !!! Nice video of a coal train tho -think the lead loco needs a trip to the shops -way to much smoke-second loco had none ! Nice interlude Jawtooth ! These are what define your channel !

[@TheLocutus70]

That train was so long, I thought it would have a dpu on it somewhere.

[@TheShadeTreeFixitMan]

Very cool catch Brian.

[@Drewtrainfan]

Live Action, JawTooth.

[@bigted1955]

Thanks for great video

[@c.curmudgeon2834]

Damn that's a long train, I guess CSX trains take a few cues from CN Rail in Canada with insanely long trains. Lol

[@foxgeirgesda]

Oh, my gosh-I have *never* seen this in real life!! Only in videos...do they also run those street side trains at night??

[@danielfarley1118]

Jaw tooth excellent video as usual Never disappointed could you let us know on long trains how many Cars

[@amfwelsh]

Daniel Farley can’t y’all count? 🤪😂

[@porkchop2218]

I went back for you and counted 2+133 approx. it's hard to count with camera movement. you have to stay focused and pick landmarks on the cars when the camera moves so you don't count them twice.

[@Deadbuck73]

Not sure what’s harder... counting them all or not getting bored as all fit out watching them all... there’s a freakin lot!

[@porkchop2218]

@@Deadbuck73 I have OCD and i feel like I have to count them. but some people are worse than me. they can tell you how many of each kind of car. i just don't have that kind of memory. I love trains though.

[@ergotot45]

Nice catch JT !

[@JustCalMeBozeman]

I don't blame you for almost not answering the phone when MillenniumForce called lol

[@stanleybaker3400]

I still miss the caboose 😢

[@CSXNSTrainVideos]

Awesome catch! Live action!

[@MilePost106]

Great video as always!!!!

[@reekashade]

Very nice my dear TALENTED friend, thx for sharing!! best wishes...Reekashade💫

[@bekleidungu.ausrustung7068]

Wow, That was a long train, JT. When are you gonna go back to PAX and Thurmond, WV and film the CSX switching in full? Really enjoyed the first video you did there !!!

[@JawTooth]

Eventually. I might be there this month or next month

[@leeroberts1192]

There must be a hell of a lot of stress and strain on the couplers near to the front of that train

[@yankee1789]

Coal is alive! Nice video, Jaw Tooth

[@arandomtrip8082]

That was a loooonnggg train lol people must really hate the trains there in that town !I myself would love it!

[@nikkib5753]

I used to love trains. Till I moved in my current house that is! Believe me, the hatred came very quick.

[@SMartinTX]

Nice place to put dumpsters and pallets.

[@SebastianLong]

Lol. I was raised in a house about a mile up the tracks in the direction that train is traveling. I freaking hated trains, but that's cause my house was literally like 5 feet from the nearest rail. Trains on this track are rediculously loud, and they don't understand the concept of a whistle, they rather lay into the damn thing for like 30 seconds or more.

[@eml-0404]

Live action in my namesake! Love it!

[@ironhorsethrottlemaster5202]

That's cool I love Street running

[@RandySchartiger]

worth the wait that was a long train!

[@sixtoes2313]

Jabber Jaw 🤪. I wish; I would have known you where here in Western PA. I live only 5 minutes from this location. I would have gladly bought you something cool to drink ! Rick.

[@chrishauser5505]

Looks more like an alleyrunner!

[@tracksidecraig]

Another good video 👌

[@bscskater101]

The lead had a so much flashy yellow!

[@flaminglaughter]

Got much night life in Elizabeth, PA?

[@FedericoBorluzzi]

Wow, that's something we don't see every day, I think!

[@kman-mi7su]

Sheesh! That's a whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooole lotta coal train!

[@sirensofneohio3979]

Nice! I see a 3T22 on top of that building!

[@visionisscaryYTg]

but wait....... there's not more this time

[@mrfingerlakes8735]

visionisscary 😂😂😂😂😂

[@ronaldpellet854]

Loved the applause lol lol lol

[@JawTooth]

I was there again on Saturday and Tuesday and I filmed 3 more trains. I am working on one of the videos right now so I can post it on Sunday or Tuesday

[@ОльгаЛипатоваЖИЗНЬКАКПУТЕШЕСТВ]

Hi. Glad to see your new video

[@Chessie1985]

Awesome coal train!!!

[@JasonPlayZ_MainChannel]

I used to live in that town

[@JawTooth]

Awesome! How many trains did you get to see there?

[@dominictauane]

That it's a big long train

[@lateefcarrere1649]

CSX(just 3 letters painted on the sides) sounds so impersonal...I remember when the engines had a brighter color scheme w/the profile of a cat(Chessie System) on them. I get it - it is a business, after all....but a brighter paint job would probably make the Internet generation look up from their devices for about a minute: "Oh wow - a train! Maybe I better get off the tracks." Then they can go back to catching #Pokemon or whatever the newest craze is. An hour plus wait for a train? Wish I had that kinda time :)

[@JawTooth]

An hour wait is nothing. I waited 2 days for a train at Natural Tunnel Virginia and none went by in daylight. Only 2 went through and it was dark. Worst railfan trip ever. I got back last night.

[@westgatejoe1]

I live in Monessen P.A. I watch them going down the Mon. river.

[@focusfrenzy9759]

129 cars possibly coming from the coke plant down the river.

[@johnhull6363]

Most likely except from monessen coke plant upriver....i work across river down one town in Clairton (largest coke works in the western hemisphere) it is most likely coke...most coal feedstock is brought in by river barge

[@jeffreyg3831]

focus frenzy Thanks for counting the cars for us. 👍

[@rosjasss]

Nice catch! :)

[@CWproductions2288]

I drove over the bridge behind jawtooth's in the intro

[@TNandTXRailfan]

Gotta love those smoking ges

[@havokvladimirovichstalinov]

Man, there is something weird about seeing something normally separated from roads run right down the middle of one like that

[@walterfink9782]

As a joke, in this town and others where train tracks go down streets, put up signs. These signs are going to be at every intersection. Either a stop sign, or a traffic light for all directions. The sign reads " All traffic must either stop at stop signs, and/or obey traffic signals, including Trains!" Remember, these trains are trained to go down the middle of the street!

[@chuckysmith9960]

That's my old chevy at the end and fire department
