[@andyrichardsvideovlogs8835]

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👍

[@Lcalvert66]

Good morning from Tulsa,Oklahoma!! I am glad they are persevering the train depot. Another great video! Prayers for Shoestring Hobo on feeling better!

[@JawTooth]

Thank you!

[@DucatiGTS]

Those old buildings are perfect shells and foundations for high end apartments, shops and restaurants. Great investment opportunity.

Hi that building lift and move is amazing!

[@JawTooth]

It really is!

[@1960gambit]

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….

What a great collection of older buildings along the tracks.. sooo much history, so little time. You find some 😎 cool spots to film.thx.

[@billxam2674]

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.

[@TI4438]

Check out your shorts? Poor choice of words,JT! LOL

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 gate is a Safe train gate mech. I used to build and install crossing gates ,signals and switch tracks for LIRR .Great people on that job .Any questions on the equipment I can answer for you . I also wired and installed crossing cases and huts .

Going to need a foundation to set the building on before they can move it.

[@roelofvenema6500]

Great good video, mr Jaw Tooth. In the Netherlands use the railway owner a geometry train and they give him te name: Jules. Free to Jules Verne. A other geometry train is called: Leonardo (da Vinci). Greet from Zandvoort the Netherlands 🇾🇪🇺🇸

[@brianhickey5949]

That's pretty cool - seeing the inside of a RR crossing gate :) I am also in awe of the idea of moving that whole station. That is a move I would love to see (it will probably take quite some time though. Nice geometry train!

They might get Amtrak to stop at the station. Its a long shot but they are talking about it

[@johnmartin4650]

Beautiful building all boarded up……railway architecture is unique….should always be preserved but isn’t…sad sad…….good episode ,thank you…..but wait there’s more ( he he ) …that’s one heck of a container train…I’d really like to see a caboose on these things , looks like an incomplete sentence….Christmas greetings to you and yours

For sure!

[@andrefane5499]

Amazing videos Jaw Tooth keep up the good work

[@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

[@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.

[@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]

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.

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.

[@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.

[@richmcfadden5948]

Interesting on how they've crated the entire building using the yellow beams and cables.

[@rosemaryarmitage3391]

Merry Christmas Jaw tooth to your family. Please stay safe. All the people on youtube.

[@brucebussert4983]

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.

[@georgeadams1853]

As my mom used to say, "Fools' names and fools' faces, often seen in public places."

[@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?)

[@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.

[@carolmcallister1908]

The dome of the birmingham train terminal is now in Chattanooga TN. The last time I saw it and stopped it was not open

[@donaldkarcheriii7249]

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.

[@noeyesmike]

that Timmy sign means theres a guy named Tim or Timothy getting away with defacing rail cars on an regular basis

[@robertfederle1663]

That crossing gate, looks like they used the drive motor in the new one. Some older ones had a GRS (General Railway Signal) drive motor similar if not the same as a Model 2A semaphore drive. Those were heavy.

[@jerrykinnin7941]

JT that truck is a Vacuum truck. They use it primarily to clear storm drains and sewer backups. A very useful contraption. Those Sperry trucks that ride the rails are neat as well.

[@bcoldgoalie]

Another fine video! Hope Shoestring's health gets better; he's such a good guy. Where was that geometry train when I needed it back in junior high? Lol.

[@Athenstrainman]

That Geo train was down here in Georgia in early August. Same locomotive and same set up.

[@walterlangston4484]

2 days ago hi rail truck passes me in harpers ferry and stop in the tunnel and site there for A bit

[@rrelectric5159]

A lot is missing from that signal pole. There is a small DC motor that mounts on the inside bracket and meshes with all those gears. With the gearing and the counterweight on the crossing arm it dosen't take much effort to move it All the wiring is gone as well. Separate circuits for the arm motor, flashers and bell if it is on that pole as well as the cover to enclose the whole thing. I have seen that CSX geometry train before and always wondered why it had an old Sp car on it.

[@karichelle1982]

Saw the geometry train a couple of weeks ago at work in Louisville. Or maybe last week. 😂 who knows, I work at a bakery and the days run together around the holidays.
