Train action Selkirk Yard October 19, 2018.

Steady train action at the busy and big CSXT Selkirk Yard in New York where oil train K602 has to wait out two trains before entering the yard. Q007 is the first to head west on the fast freight track and then the local clears out and finally K602 makes it's way in with engines moving about at the engine house in the background along with cars rolling down the hump tracks as a train is fed under the tower. The RR police was in a rush to see exactly what I was doing from the public bridge near the end taken on October 19, 2018.

I spent two years running the Selkirk diesel shop. Wild time. Wouldn't do it again .

[@handsthatcreate]

Dare I ask why you wouldn't ? LOL

@@handsthatcreate it's not a friendly lifestyle for a family man.

Awesome catch RC, I'm new to your channel and the clarity of your videos is SUPERB! I've always wondered what the SELKIRK yard looked like and thanks for making this video! Once again thanks for sharing this video and I'm viewing this from Delmar, Delaware. Btw, I wanted to ask a question. If you're back at this yard again doing pics and videos could you send me one of CP? Reason I ask is because I'm a disabled Delawarian and don't get out much due to my hereditary nerve disease. I'm creating a railroad room in our new home and I've had a few other KZbinrs send me pics to add to my room. The pics I've already received have been framed and hung in there. TIA if you can help out!

Thanks Shawn, glad you enjoyed the video and I need to get back out as I haven't been back trackside almost since that time with lots else going on but will eventually. I wish some of my older videos not uploaded with clearer and do have others in the of more recent to tackle at some point, lol. It's getting harder to just take videos like the one you commented on as they see someone with video equipment and get spooked. Take care and thanks for the comment Rich.

R Clark, what Frequencys were you listening to on your scanner??

[@handsthatcreate]

E Roberts, sorry for the delay but here is a link to them and I sometimes lock out some if the chatter is too much. Hope this helps as I like to put some of the scanner action in my videos. members.localnet.com/~docsteve/railroad/se_ra_in.htm

Does anyone remember the railroad "Y"?

Question Men Is the Selkirk Hump Yard still in service

[@handsthatcreate]

Yes unless it has been stopped in the last few months. Always has had work every time I've been there.

Great video...do they do yard tours there? I read online the rr police dont want people filming.

[@handsthatcreate]

Hi Jim, no tours there but as you can see that is the RR police "making time" coming at me in the dust cloud, lol. Unfortunately the RR police are sometimes edgy as a result of poor decisions of others in the past but I was on a public overpass just enjoying the action. Luckily for me I was done filming and didn't have to deal with him this time and glad you liked the video, Rich.

[@user-ci9ri4fl5pBuckeyeChessie]

Did the RR police say anything to you? He was very abusive to the vehicle he was driving.

[@handsthatcreate]

T.J., he didn't say anything to me as he seemed to cool his jets as he get a better look at the fact I was just a railfan but yes he was driving like "Dukes of Hazard" lol. I've had local police and other law enforcement tell me to leave certain bridges with good views before even though I was in a safe zone as here I was on the inside part of the barrier where many others do the same.

[@shmulikanglister]

Yeah. That driver was driving like Mad Max. I was sure he was going to kick your butt.

[@syracuse6651]

Yeah how Hell do you know the train symbols and all that ? You there on your day off filming Shit with your radio on the yard or road channel ? Haha... , Cause there's no.... other way you could know what's going on .
