Train Almost Street Running, Abandoned RR tracks Being Removed, Blue Heron Flees Train On Trestle

The smoke pretty much left northern Wi. and it looks like it moved down to you. I used to climb up the C&NW semaphore bridges when I was a kid. One day when I was 6 I took some clothes line and tied the semaphore that was in the stop position to the railing. The thing was trying to raise and going "whirrrr click". The next commuter train to come along came to a screeching stop and one of the guys climbed down out of the engine and then went up on the bridge to cut the rope. The semaphore seemed relieved as it went to the up position. The guy climbed back in the engine cursing up a storm. I just sat quietly in the bushes and watched. Yeah, I was a bad boy. Hate to see more rail being taken out, they should be putting more in. Great video, enjoyed it much. Thanks JT!

I would like to seriously thank you for spending time on those B&O signals. Nice to see them in use

[@JawTooth]

Glad you like them!😊

[@ryansansom6901]

The old B&O signals were some of the most beautiful railroad signals made. Sad that most are being replaced.

[@JawTooth]

They will all be gone in the near future. They were my favorite signals. I am trying to film them as much as possible while they are still here@@ryansansom6901

[@ryansansom6901]

@@JawTooth If you ever make it up to Cleveland sometime check out the old clark railroad yard. The CL&W and CT&V subs run to this yard. Lots of old stuff left over from the B&O. The 2 CPLs in clark yard are no longer working, but the dwarf signals at the drawbridge are still working. Sadly a CPL on the CL&W sub was removed for a bridge/road project about 15 years ago in Parma Ohio. One Regular CPL still stands north of Brookpark road ,while the other for trains heading north was replaced with a triangular light tri light signal. These 2 signals protect the crossing of the Cleveland Shortline sub,and the CL&W sub. There is a old semaphore signal post right before clark yard,not sure when the signal was removed, or stolen. This semaphore is in someone's video from years ago.

[@thomasmackowiak]

Thank you for this video of the trains that you saw in Piqua, Troy and Tipp City, Ohio on 28 June 2023, Jaw Tooth! The smoke from the wildfires in Quebec, Canada was causing problems for you on that day. Those old Baltimore & Ohio signals are great to see. I hope that they will be around for a while. The heron on the bridge over the Great Miami River waited as long as it could before it flew off in front of the train.

[@garymiller5937]

That was really cool to see the train approaching through the fog and smoke in Piqua! Good train too. Thanks 👍.

I lived in Ohio back in '65, my father was stationed at Kings Mills near Wilmington. Unless you lived in the Midwest back then, there's probably no way to wrap your head around the amount of train traffic. We were also in St. Louis. Manufacturing was probably near its peak. It was incredible.

[@periwinkle-dragonfly]

So sorry you all are having to deal with all that smoke from Canada! I see it on the railcams I watch in Iowa, too. That last train went by a real cute little fence and flowers there...so pretty! You forgot to say 'DPU I C U'. LOL

[@gandolfthegardener]

Fun fact:Miami County is #55 on our state's county list and license registration. Over & down in Springfield trains cannot use their horns once inside city limits. Each crossing as a horn that sounds lower and shoryer than a train does. JT, am glad to see you in the upper part of the valley!

[@JawTooth]

Thanks for the info

[@gandolfthegardener]

@@JawTooth You're welcome. It was a deal between the City and the railroad company as part of "modernization" (i.e. cutting expenses for crossing maintenance) and complaints (from hotel guests).

There’s a bike path that parallels that line from north Dayton and it was lined with B&O signals all the way. Miss those days.

Hellooo...Brian, This podcast is the best yet this year, the variety is OUTSTANDING. The Bird's eye view on the trestle was good, but you making a podcast "STAR " out of that Bird was of a ARTIST! But that wasn't the best part there's more!. Looking at that bird I looked down at the miami river. Something Beautiful and very very RARE happen. Not one train was going over the trestle but TWO trains ? The reflection of the water was like ice, so smooth. It was picture perfect to say the least. Well that's my take on this podcast , thank you JT You made my day, say hello also to the FURKIDS.

[@throttlebottle5906]

I recall seeing the old B&O signals on the tracks around northeastern to southeastern Ohio. that was in the Chessie System era, nearing CSX takeover. there was still lots of B&O equipment everywhere, as well as Chessie System and some CSX stuff. I was a kid and grandfather conductor on semi-local daily freight, I gratefully got to ride along multiple times, in the cabooses and engines, even in the engineers seat while underway and told what lever to move where and when to turn the bell on/horn sequence, all going very slow in small city/rural area, through crossings ( they'd for sure all be terminated now days for that). good memories though. I have ridden on B&O, Chessie System and CSX branded equipment, that was in the 1980's to early 1990's. I still have a keychain of ancient keys he used as conductor and yard foreman beforehand. I wish had kept all the hand filled log books, incident reports and other items, but just couldn't store the stuff.

Beautiful video JT. Having attended Ohio University in Athens (OH) 1969-73 (where a B&O main once ran through the campus) I have a real "soft spot" for old-school railroading locations in rural Ohio. The "almost street running" scenes in Troy were very cool...reminds me of places Amtrak's Auto-Train (and the original Auto-Train) run through in the Carolinas...great railroading experiences. Thank you... 🤗👌👍

Great video as always! But this one is a bit special for me, about 30 years ago I spent some time in Troy undergoing factory service training at the Hobart Manufacturing factory. They make restaurant equipment (dishwashers, mixers, slicers, etc.), I spent a total of about a month and a half there on 3 separate trips. Wasn't a big railfan at the time, too busy with job & family stuff to chase trains (dammit!), no car while in Ohio anyway. Don't know if Hobart moved anything in or out by rail, maybe somebody can leave a note here. Thanks again, Brian!

[@jacobwaller92]

No freaking way! I had my haircut at CK Barbershop at the circle in Downtown Troy on Thursday at 11:30 and went to lunch at the Subway on North Market Street about a mile away from where you caught the blue heron. I had to wait on that last train and I remember thinking "Wouldn't it be cool if Jawtooth caught this train down in Cincy?" Little did I know, you were about a block away! LOL. I remember the 5 MOW cars at the end. Pretty cool.

Thanks for all the Live-Action from Troy, Ohio. That vital information makes for an interesting experience that is DTE and easy to understand. Thanks for explaining the B&O signalling such old school lighting. The mile markers make interesting identification 79 to 82 typically. Points motors ( solenoids ) make interesting school-boy walks. B&O signalling is interesting, some of those markings looks like GE ( General Electric ), wondered whether the taller signalling towers were Westinghouse ?

It is such a shame they removed that Tipp City siding. It was a short siding, but it seemed to be used quite often for the locals and MOW when it was in service.

[@PGHammer21A]

One of my favorite street-running sections is in the darndest place - Dupont Highway - US 13 - between the DE/PA state line and Philadelphia. What makes it quirky is that US 13 changes sides of Interstate 95 in the city of Chester, PA - yet it still has a freight rail track alongside, in addition to SEPTA and AMTRAK. This is the only place south of CT where passenger trains can street run.
