Train Station Ready To Move! Geometry Train, Big CSX & Norfolk Southern Trains In Hamilton Ohio

Train Depot Move Update, Railroad Maintenance Of Way Equipment, Huge Train With DPU. Norfolk Southern and CSX freight trains in Hamilton, Ohio on the ex Baltimore And Ohio Railroad Main Line just north of Cincinnati. A monster train came right when I was going to leave. The train station is on a trailer right now and will be moved next Tuesday if all goes well.
Video includes an intermodal train, a grain train, a mixed freight ( manifest ), a local switching freight and a geometry train. The CSX geometry train was really cool. Check out the old passenger cars that it was pulling. Some kind of track work was going on. I filmed a high rail truck and a Sperry rail truck doing track inspections and then the geometry train came by. I was here for 3 hours before I saw my first train and that is very rare for these busy tracks.
I thought maybe the depot was going to be moved but I found out that it is not going to be moved until at least Tuesday of the following week. It is only being moved close to a thousand feet to the north but should take about 4 or 5 hours. They don't want to go too fast and have the building bounce off the trailer if they hit a pot hole.
After they finally opened the line around 2pm there were about 9 trains in the next 3 hours to pass here. Most of them were Norfolk Southern trains and I will have a second video. I was leaving and a train came so I went back and filmed it. Then before I left some more trains came and as you will see in Part 2 right when I was leaving a second time, a train came and I filmed it from my truck. The geometry train came from the north and went through Hamilton to the south side of town. There they ran the locomotive around the 3 cars and then went back north through town on the way to Marion, Ohio for their next stop. I don't know if I will be able to film the station being moved.
KZbin shorts. Speaking of shorts, leave a comment below telling me what you think of them. KZbin wants us to try them so I have been giving them a try with mixed results. A few have done well but most of them don't get many views and I don't know if I want to keep making them. Starting February if you can get more that 10 million views in 3 months from the shorts, KZbin will start paying content creators for them. I don't think its possible to get that many views but I am giving it a go for a few months just to see. I know some people don't like them. I deleted some of them but like I said, I am going to try them for a few months and then decide. Please leave a comment below.
Filmed in 1080p with 60fps on Tuesday, December 13, 2022AD
Thanks for watching! If you have time, please watch another video of mine to help keep my channel going. Every view helps support my channel. Viewing time helps pay for gas, motels, rental cars etc. I have a list of places that I plan on filming so watch another video of mine if you have the time.

Interesting to see a US geometry train. In the UK they are called network measurement trains and painted bright yellow. The biggest ones are 9-car sets which operate at up to 125mph and are nicknamed "Flying Bananas" (yellow and very fast). Hope the Hamilton depot move goes well. Cheers, JT👍

The video I put up today has the geometry train in it too from Carlisle. It was flying! That crossing gate is gear box is neat. I wish I had been there with you; I could explain how it works. I dealt with those types of controls and cam switches all the time in my career before I retired. I`ve got 4 videos of 4 different trains with "Timmy" riding on it. I was with you 3 of those times!

[@JawTooth]

Thanks for the info! I will have some questions about them for you. Those gears are pretty cool. I filmed the geometry train going back the other way also and I think I forgot to put that in myPart 2 video that I will post soon

[@mshum538]

Scott, I think that crossing post got the better part of an 18 wheeler turning around, I don’t know if those two large concrete square blocks have a particular name but it will make you swing wider…..retirement is nice and after 40 years running csx’s engines ( even the gp-40 hauling the geometry train) im glad its here, I enjoy yours and Brians work keeping me up to date, stay safe…..ms~~~thinking of ol’shoes too….

Might also be a good time to experiment with timelapse video, since as you know, the actual move is a s-l-o-w process.

That old paper mill would make a great indoor market. I like those geometry train. Around here, we have algebra and trigonometry trains. The Timmy car reminds of all those coal cars you taped that have the ghostie on them. Prayers for Shoestring.

[@tommywilliamson2103]

I think one of those old paper mill buildings would be great turned into makers studios. Each one with equipment that makers could share and programs where seasoned makers can help train newbies. Then also have market spaces where makers could sale their creations if they want to.

I remember welcoming my grandmother into town at the Hamilton station back in the mid-50's on a B&O train pulled by one of the presidential pacifics. The wheel slip as it pulled away was loud and scary to my young self.

[@Eddy63]

Great and lucky catches Son ... Thx for sharing ...

[@Indo49]

From 21.16 to 22.33, locomotive and three passenger cars, nice shots, Jaw Tooth, like they disappeared in the distance of railtracks and all. The videoparts of the preparations of moving the building were quite a nice extra. Thank you.

[@thomasmackowiak]

Thank you for the update on the Hamilton, Ohio Baltimore & Ohio depot. I hope that you can capture all or at least part of the depot moves to its new location. The CSX high rail truck and the Sperry track inspection truck were nice additions to the trains that you capture. The highlight of this video was the CSX geometry train. It was a surprise to see that the first "passenger" car on the geometry train still had "Southern Pacific" on the upper portion of the car.

[@JawTooth]

I hope so too! I will be there next Tuesday when they are scheduled to move it. That will be cool

[@RFMCabooseNP1713]

Nice catches. Thanks for the update on the station move.

One last note, those abandoned paper mills I THINK were originally part of Hooven-Owens-Rentschler corp and part of Lima-Hamilton later Baldwin Lima Hamilton. Also part of that was Niles Tool Works a block west of there on North 3rd St.

[@BillSchlichting]

Loved the geometry train with an old Southern Pacific passenger car. It bought back memories of when I was 7 years old riding the SP passenger train from Los Angeles to San Francisco. The train was 15 cars and I was in the first car. I was terrified crossing between cars, but I loved the dome car, the last car, and seeing the locomotive up front. When we got to San Francisco the train was parked with the locomotive nose to the station. We had to walked passed it to go inside. That behemoth was noisy and scary. SP already had their intimidating bloody-nose paint jobs to add to the monster effect. Geez, that would be 55 years ago.

[@victoryleadership1]

I see some comments from viewers on the mechanics of crossing signals below. Also, a KZbin search on "how railroad crossing signals work" will return videos from simplistic to complex. Excellent work, as usual. Stay warm and Happy Holidays.

[@robertfederle1663]

At 15:22 in the video, the power is just about at Old River. That was the PCC&StL "Panhandle Route to Richmond Indiana. In the old PRR Depot (long gone) was a CTC panel that controls traffic for the Panhandle from about Fairfield to Richmond. The Panhandle was separate and is now the southbound trackage used by both. The B&O used to run on what is now MLK Blvd and on 4th Street. Back then the only shared track was between Old River and New River Jct.

[@jcamp9293]

A lot of YT channels are doing shorts all of a sudden. For me, I hate it that it's a vertical video, and many of them are 'too short", and some have voice overs that I hate. I would probably watch more if they were horizontal and maybe a little longer. Keep up the great work.

[@RailRide]

Not a fan of vertical video either. KZbin has been bugging channel owners to use them (like JT mentioned, it's competing with TikTok). What wasn't mentioned is, according to statistics the majority of internet access (and thus, youtube viewership) is via cellphones, thus the proliferation of vertical video (I know, how lazy is it that one can't be bothered to turn their phone sideways?)

When you said geometry train??? I kinda put 2&2 together and figured it out, especially when it was old coaches. I imagine full of sensitive equipment, GPS, mapping, rail elevation, grade, etc. That big Ole window on the back, , what could be that important that you just passed that you need a window that big. There was a guy sitting there working. Good video. Norfie and Chessie compilation of funny things would make a good short. A short of that burning NS going under that bridge would get some hits.

[@christopherclarke9316]

G'day JT. Here in Oz we call the geometry train the AK cars. They do the same things and are usually top and tailed by motive power so they can always be forward controlled by loco crew when travelling on branch lines with no turning or runaround facility. As for the large truck with the silver tank I am guessing it was a sucker truck. High pressure water blaster for hydro-demolition and giant vacuum cleaner to capture runoff. If that is what it is they were probably using it to clear material from under the depot and partially remove old foundations ready for the move.

[@stevensipes1823]

The first train was a little unusual. Usually it will be all international containers or domestic. But that was different. The first half was international then the end was all domestic. It looks to me that the railroad shut down the line till the inspection was done. As for the movement of the building. What they do is they jack up the building very slowly in spots to put blocks of wood at the foundation in a criscross pattern. Then when it is high enough they jack up and put wheels under. Then they can move it. As they move it they will put a few people on the roof to move an power lines to slip under. They will be going down the road at maybe one or two miles per hour. Then when they get there the whole thing is done in reverse. Steven Sipes
