Switching Railroad Customers, Huge Cut Of Rail Cars At Huhtamaki, Short Line Railway Shunting Action

[@horror-metal-mike4320]

Two NICE EMDs pulling a mixed freight train with some AWESOME flatbed cars. The second EMD has a really nice paint scheme JT! Nice to see that train on the shortline dropping off cars! Very COOL!

[@JawTooth]

Thank you very much!

[@horror-metal-mike4320]

@@JawTooth You Are Very Welcome JT!

[@edwardgarea7650]

Excellent video, solid coverage. Looking over the comments I see the fans love the switching action as much as I do. The amount of storage area the railroad has is amazing. People have commented that they can’t understand why NS tried to close down the Peavine branch, but from everything I’ve read, NS is not a well run company. A shame, because with some work and a little patience, this line can attract new customers. Right now it’s mainly a glorified parking lot. But videographers such as yourself are performing a vital service in keeping our attention fixed on an underrated, but important part of America.

[@JawTooth]

There is good money in railcar storage. NS just wants to handle big customers with unit trains. They dont want the small single car load guys

[@edyoung646]

i couldn´t agree more ...

[@jeffreygosselin1143]

Jaw Tooth Very True Brian! Unit trains from point A to point B.

[@train1962]

Looks like they have them stored on the rails leading to the "Chiphouse".When it was Ford that's where gondolas were put for aluminum and steel machining scrap and chips to be dumped for recycling.Thanks for the video Brian! BTW....I would give you at least two thumbs up, but youtube won't let me.

[@JawTooth]

Thanks for the info. Have a great week Steve!

[@boggy7665]

I see it now... roadway leading to the rails, place for trucks to bring the scrap. Looks like the derelict building was a powerhouse. Did they also have propane or ammonia or something there? Some sort of pipes leading to the rails. Old Google street view shows smokestacks where the holes are.

[@boggy7665]

This was a Ford machining center. The big outbuilding was for cutting oil. I read that in a different comment.

Cool truck alert ..@ 12:16 ! In my neck of the woods (Colorado) they use the old Tennessee Pass route to store gondolas and hoppers. Hundreds of cars it seems. They appear to be used for coal service. Great video .. as usual.

Several years ago, I was following a local around several warehouses in Phoenix and at a road crossing the conductor came up to my car and asked if I was a railroad inspector? I guess he hadn't seen many railroad nuts.

[@JawTooth]

They would really get anxious if you had a scanner with you. Lol. People will think you are a cop if you carry a pocket scanner.

[@terryhaines8351]

This reminds me of the miles-long storage siding along Interstate-5 near Tenino, Washington. It used to hold miles of flat cars from the (by-then dead) Southern Pacific. I actually sent an e-mail to the website that responded to my search for 'southern pacific' questioning if they knew about these large amounts of flat cars. The website (Union Pacific) responded that while they didn't know about the specific bunch that I was mentioning, they had absorbed the Southern Pacific rolling stock. Currently, that siding is used to store vast amounts of tank cars.

[@JawTooth]

Cool. I was in utah and I saw a couple lines of UP locomotives in storage that were a couple miles long. I put them in a video. I think the city was Salt Lake City. I had never seen so many locomotives in my life

Apparently there are not enough railroad sidings in the area that CCET has to use spur lines that go into business’s for rail storage. Creates a lot of double work, such as use of man power, fuel and wages. I might be all wrong but this is just my observation.

Folks were excited because this was the longest freight ever attempted. 1.7 kilometers. You figure it out. lol. Anyway, posters counted around 235 cars that were open hopper types. Not one was marred with graffiti in a nation of over one billion people. From the looks of them, these weren't new cars, either.

I wonder that also. I found a huge pile of rails laying in the woods near the tracks. They were forgotten about so long ago that the trees grew up around them and are big enough to be logged out. I dont know how they keep track of what they own. I stumbled across the huge pile of rail while I was working for the county checking a proposed building site near Batavia. Steel aint cheap

[@edwardgarea7650]

I’m sure CCET has a software program to keep track of the inventory. As to the rails JT found, I believe they were “lost” during the time NS operated the line. I said before it was a poorly run company. Quite a few ex-employees told me that.

Interesting that both the locos were pointed into the storage yard (small hood forward). I understood that shunting locos normally pointed one each way so that whichever way you traveled, one loco was always pointed in the forward direction.

Hey Jaw Tooth: I have noticed that the CCET likes to run with two locomotives in your videos. And like this one, the SD45-2 isn't on line. So, what is the purpose of two locomotives on their trains when one will do, to me its a waste of fuel of the locomotive that is having to do all the work. They must have money to waste with all those storage cars they are handling. Also, any news on the MoDoc GE?

[@kman-mi7su]

They sure don't have money to paint a locomotive, 5857 is one ghetto looking locomotive!

[@JawTooth]

They need 2 so they can put one on each end to switch customers with switches that face the wrong way and sometimes they move long strings of cars. I see them split the engines when they run out to Cohen and put one on each end and return with a loco on both ends and not have to do a runaround move

[@edwardgarea7650]

Jaw Tooth - Great answer. When I worked for the old Rahway Valley, we rarely used our two switchers because there weren’t that many cases like that. You definitely know your onions. That’s a huge reason why I subscribe and why yours in the only railfan site to which I do subscribe. By the way, I’m glad your “friend” isn’t around. Either he’s on vacation or Animal Control has caught up with him. I noticed your remarks where you said the crew even waved.
