Train With 6 Engines & Train Appears Out Of Tunnel; Train Eases Down Steep Hill, Kentucky Trains

CSX Railroad Interchange With A 6 Locomotive Train Getting Permission To Enter The Main Line. Train With DPU. Train Comes Out Of A Tunnel With Huge Auto Racks. Norfolk Southern Train Easing Down A Steep Grade. These trains are in Kentucky. Covington, Kentucky & Crescent Springs are included.
I drove over a train on Interstate 275 while entering Kentucky from Ohio. I decided to film that train so I drove ahead to Covington at the CSX interchange. This area has a lot of crime recently so I left after filming the train going around the tight curve in front of a sober living facility.
Next train is coming out of a tunnel less than a mile south of the first train. After I filmed the first train I left and then heard the train give a clear signal at the junction that I had just been at. I heard the train on 160.230 and found out that it was on its way to Louisville, Kentucky from Cincinnati.
The tunnel is the same spot where I filmed the girl walking through down the middle of a track while a train was passing on the other track. Remember that epic video? After I filmed that train I drove to a nicer area in Northern Kentucky on the Norfolk Southern line.
The NS train is on its way to Gest street Yard in Cincinnati. We see it easing down the long grade that drops into the Ohio River Valley. Its really cool to watch trains working on this hill. I have seen trains stall coming up the hill and need assistance. Check out some of my Hill videos.

Mr Tooth, as much as I enjoy your videos, they are not worth putting yourself in danger. Please be very careful when filming and by all means STAY SAFE. Most respectfully - Bruce Paul

[@supercuda1950]

Always be safe; we all would hate for something to happen to you in your quest to get us a video. Also, that train coming out of the tunnel was going slow enough you could have tagged a few (lol).

[@sugarphantom7837]

Some of the tagging shows a lot of artistic talent. Loved the Pennywise clown!

Good Morning JT. Yes please be careful out there. The world's a messd up place these days. Up here in Toronto Ontario, we've had many unprevoked attacks on people where the attacker never knew the victims. Two people unfortunately died as a result of this. One victim was a senior just out for a walk, the other was a homeless guy trying to protect his friend as about 7-8 young girls swarmed his and stabbed/beat him to death. Stay safe out there big guy. Cheers.

Sounds like Baltimore I'm a half hour away nice where I'm at but still to close

[@Phantom-Signal]

@@Michael-eu1mz yes I agree. I lived in North Toronto for a preriod of time. Where I was living it was quiet for the most part. I mean in summer you could hear gun shots from time to time. Where I was living, a large creek divided up the nice area where I was and the gang violence that was on the other side of that large creek. Got outta there in a short time. Now I am an hour and a half away from that concrete jungle.

[@kipsome45]

Very brave of you to film in that neighbourhood!

[@terrypomatto907]

We lived in Conway, PA and there is a large yard there. I noticed over thirty Norfolk Southern engines sitting in the yard. We loved to hear the trains moving through the yard and we loved to watch the railroad humping cars and build trains to go out all over the country. The yard is about thirty-five miles north of Pittsburgh and sixty miles south of Erie, PA. We have moved to Economy, PA but still enjoy our trips down to see the rail yard activity.💝

[@1VaDude]

I lived near Harrisburg when I was in my youth and you would not believe how huge the rail yard is in Enola, PA. It's MILES of trains in there. I have no idea how that stuff works, but they line those cars up and pull 'em down the tracks.

There are a few cars that look new, or have fresh coats of paint on them. It does my heart good to see that. If I see too many in a long train with excessive grafitti, I will just click away to something else.

My uncle Paul worked as a conductor for CXS formerly Chessie and was conductor on the Middleburg phosphorus train wreck.

You shot some awesome videos .Thank you.

[@bobcatforever3485]

Jaw Tooth. Always good videos, makes for a time for us viewer to relax. DON'T ANSWER THIS, but since you end up going to sketchy and or lonely areas, have you thought of getting a CCW? I think you may have several choices, (1) don't go to those bad areas whenever possible or (2) get in really good shape so you can run really really fast (that should always be a better option than #3), (3) if you're like me and can't run really really fast, hang something on your belt and use it as the very very last resort. Take care. By the way, I am really old and do so so KZbin shooting videos.

Jawtooth, You are right, there are some sketchy people around the railroad tracks (Not speaking about rail fans, of course!) I live in a small town near Ft. Hood, TX on BNSF's Lampasas Subdivision and I started filming BNSF trains headed out of and to the Temple, TX yard (use to be the Santa Fe yard) last October to build up an inventory of train videos and thinking about starting a KZbin channel. Due to some lowlifes around the tracks, I carry 2 guns and a 7 1/2" hunting knife: A Ruger LCP in my boot, & a S&W M&P 9mm Shield in my belt. Both are loaded and ready. Don't know the situation in Ohio, but we have Constitutional Carry in Texas. You might want to think about arming up! I was over at the Temple yard this morning. Sure are a lot of BNSF Locos sitting and idle. Keep your head on a swivel and your eyes on the prize!

Ohio just recently became a "permitless carry" state. Hoping for many more states to join the club, though.

[@1VaDude]

Hey there, Jawtooth! Love your videos. Greetings from over here in Germany!! We moved here back in the summer. My wife and I are from Virginia, but will be living over here for up to five years. Germany has a lot of railroad activity - both freight & passenger. Their trains tend to be very short (1 engine and maybe 30 cars) and the run every few minutes on the same track - much different than CSX or Norfolk Southern, where the run very long trains every few hours. Their control system must be amazing so that they can keep things moving safely. Every locomotive I have seen is electric, but they must still use diesels in places without power lines over the tracks. Keep Chessie and Norfie out of trouble and stay safe! Guten abend!! P.S. My wife thinks I am totally nuts, but I have become addicted to your channel + that of a guy who is a tow truck driver who films it when he "yanks" cars that are illegally parked. Both of you have a talent for making relaxing yet compelling video footage.

Hay JT but there’s more I hope that you have a nice night and a great day tomarow ❤

[@Jmat40]

JT it was funny when you mentioned the size of those tank cars because I had just said that before you said it. They were the biggest I've ever seen.

[@paulbergen9114]

With today's bizarre crime please don't become a statistic. Just because it's a junction doesn't mean it has to be photographed I'm sure your family would like to see you return at night. That CSX Freight was one of those that probably had every type of chemical there is plus a wide variety of unusual reporting marks as well as a very high percentage of cars carrying carbon black. The auto rack train has one car with a home for repair tag on it. What's funny is even though the rack has the CN emblem the car through Creative Accounting is "owned" by Wisconsin Central and was built after the WC acquisition. Poor Chessie looked disappointed in that Norfie took the good seats and there weren't any snacks left. You need to hire the Hawaii Five-O staff for security

[@greggardner9070]

Hi JT,be safe in your filming areas. The auto racks were probably going to Toyota in Georgetown KY or Louisville KY to one of the Ford plants there.

[@Chessie1985]

Another excellent video and be safe out there JT!!!

[@markwiener1091]

There is no more efficient way to move goods long distances than trains. Per ton of goods moved, trains pollute much less than trucks and notice how the newer locomotives (in the blue sky sun) don't even have visible exhaust. Put a WABTEC battery EPU on the train and efficiency goes up 15% with more safety on grades. Looking forward to some trains in the snow early February. Thinking Chessie, Brandy, Sophie and Norfie will be inside most of the time. Hope duck is OK. Hope the horses have a hay filled barn.

[@GilmerJohn]

Well, not all goods. It takes a lot of energy taking a RR car or two that "last mile."

[@1VaDude]

As a retired trucker, I mostly agree that rail is the most efficient way to move LOTS OF CARGO over great distances - on a per ton basis. However, tracks don't go to every single destination and in today's "just in time" society, people want their stuff and they want it NOW. Trains won't likely ever replace trucks, but if time is of less concern than tonnage, there is nothing better than rail for moving freight.

[@markwiener1091]

@@1VaDude correct, trains don't go to every destination. That's where trucks come in and where improved rail infrastructure and better train-truck coordination would likely make a difference. No way will every interest like this. JP Morgan was not pleased his rail empire was threatened by trucks and Rockefeller was majorly upset that Edison's lightbulb would diminish kerosene sales until Ford educated Rockefeller about more money to be made with formerly a nuisance, gasoline.

[@1VaDude]

@@markwiener1091 -- I predict a rise in the use of "intermodal" transport. Piggyback trailers on flatbed rail cars for long distances and then "local" drivers picking the trailers at a railhead and delivering the product to the final destination.

Long time viewer, first time poster. Ditto the comments on your personal safety, you bring happiness to a lot of people (along with your animals!). Just wondering -- if you're looking for any ideas or suggestions -- if you could somehow get some shots of that massive railroad bridge you mentioned that crosses the Ohio River between Cincy and Covington (Newport?). I spent some time working in Cincinnati in 2006-7 and used to go "Newport on the Levee" a lot for dinner and always marveled at that bridge (and the one upriver from it that was Roebling's practice exercise for the Brooklyn Bridge in New York). The only time I could see the RR bridge was while driving on the highway next to it - and I was always the one doing the driving!! I understand that the main building in that Newport complex was originally a railroad station. A pretty grandiose building in its heyday. Anyway, thanks for everything, stay safe --- and healthy!

There aren't too many things on this Earth that get beat up and on more than a scrap metal gondola. They get old before their time then keep on rolling. The whole 'gondola' on top of the tank is basically just a housing there to protect valves and ports on top from bumps and whatnot. If you looked down inside there that is what you would see. Covington was a place you watched your rear even back in the 80s. I have a t-shirt. About the video blurring I would suggest doing what I did to learn video editing. Just make a copy of some video and use it to play with. Do everything to it. Especially new things. Learn by doing is powerful with this. You don't have to use them all or any but it can be fun playing and learning anyway. Don't worry too much about the sun when this happens. It can't be helped some times and that wouldn't have been a good train to miss. JT, you are an ace among railroad fans and I thank you for taking us along. I never miss a chance.
