Train shoves across 4 lane freeway RJ Corman Wooster line RJC 4119 GP20

RJC 4119 shoves up to Frito Lay in Wooster Ohio. RJC 4119 works on the "Cleveland Lines" Wooster branch. This line was part of the B&O Millersburg branch running south from Lodi to Millersburg Ohio. Abandonment began in 1928. Lodi to Wooster remained til the 1970's. After that the B&O reached the isolated Wooster segment via running over the PRR Penn Central by then). They would get on at Massillon as RJ Corman does now since Corman has both B&O lines, taken over from CSX in the 1990's. Oddly CSX kept access to the National Lime and Stone unload at the south end of town which they serve by running trains from Spore Quarry NW of Bucyrus over the FTW line.
RJ Corman appears to serve 3 customers on this segment: Frito Lay with vegetable oil tanks and hoppers of ingredients, a transload that appears to handle plastic pellets and a scrap yard. After working Frito Lay they shove across US RT30 which is lights and gates on a 4 lane highway. Sorry about the lack of audio.

Great shots. That frito lay plant is a nice one for model railroaders to use as a prototype. Incredible how they cross such a busy highway. Having a switching layout, it confirms that I’m not crazy having multiple shove moves in my operations. Thanks for sharing.

It does have crossing lights on each side of the highway . But I do feel sorry for the guy who has to flag the crossing . flagging 4 lanes of traffic is highly dangerous . I shoved over a crossing like that for 38 years and stopping is the worse thing you can do it cancels the crossing lights and I've nearly been run over several times.the general public don't care and they think they will be stopped for a 100 car train . That flagman needs a caboose as a shoving platform and quit stopping . BTW just what is a exempted crossing ?

@rc391995 4 ай бұрын

Your exactly right and the more cars the worse it gets . it depends a lot on just how skilled the engineer is. A new engineer will fan the independent brake and it will nearly knock you off the end of the cars. I've tied up hand brakes on the end of cars before to knull that out before. It makes them keep pushing and not fan that brake.

So this track crosses a state highway, not a federal interstate highway like I initially thought, even though I see large sections of it are grade-separated. In my state of FL I can think of a couple of areas like this, and several examples where a road is called a "state highway" but is really a stroad with a ton of intersections and driveway cuts. I think in South FL near Miami the FEC track that Brightline runs on crosses some 8-lane roads but most are more modest at 4-6 lanes. Otherwise this is a nice video with some good aerial shots.

Press the button they start flashing, then they go red, person can cross, then they start flashing (warning time at end), finally off. And I've seen cars just blast through those flashing lights above not even seeming to notice.

As an european it's interesting to see how people barely care for the signals over there. Here in sweden if you don't care for the signals you will be fined and may get hit by a train going 120kmh+ and you're also most likely plowing down a barrier you'll be paying for if you survive.
