TRRS 419: CSX Local Train Y195 Switching PCA

[@mikefit3343]

It's 1:55am Friday morning, and IDK what it is about late nights but I always end up watching...trains.

[@BERXJoe]

Being an engineer with a remote control is like having the ultimate model railroad-it's the same scenario in HO Scale-a DCC equipped locomotive you control with a handheld remote. The only difference is these guys operate 1:1 scale and get paid for their "operating sessions." Great video. I was happy to see the old Guilford (Boston & Maine) boxcar.

[@tomroise2318]

Great shot of industry being switched!! Thank you Keep these coming if you can.

[@ThornappleRiverRailSeries]

I haven't shot many like this in awhile because it kinda unnerves the train crews, who fear they'll break a rule and their boss will later find it.

[@rj4590]

Very nice.It was very interesting to see the locomotive being operated by remote control.That impatient truck driver almost took out the crossing gate at the beginning.

[@leobrisbane2444]

As a kid always love freight trains and that I got older I still love freight trains

[@mattwalsh6347]

Awesome video! Switching is always very entertaining, and interesting to watch. Thanks for sharing!

[@Utubearchy]

An excellently shot video which also shows the efficiency of the best transport system humans have ever come up with. Self guided and so captivating that few things have ever come close to its appeal. Railways.

[@miachevydude]

I really appreciate these kind of videos,much more interesting than the typical "Runbys"

[@therealandrewstrains]

Well shot, and lots of information (for the modellers like me). I am going to incorporate this location and switching action into my new layout that I am building. Thanks very much. I'll be sharing the video on my blog also.

[@ThornappleRiverRailSeries]

You're welcome, and thanks for the sharing! Could you send me a link to your blog? You can usually sneak it past the URL filter by going [DOT] com or whatever :)

[@therealandrewstrains]

Thornapple River Rail Series My blog is at huntervalleylines.wordpress.com This should come through as I have posted other links in comments before. The post should be up within the next hour. Thanks again and keep posting. Love the rail action in your area. I model the US but live now in Australia. Spent 10 years in Texas (Austin and surrounds). Just love how you can reach out and touch the trains in the US. Not the same here in Australia. Best wishes Andrew

First time I've ever seen a CSX locomotive remote controlled in a video, A little while ago I saw a genset remote controlled down at Curtis Bay yard close to where I live.

[@gabrielreliat6967]

Very good movie: we see the daily and real work of railroad men...

[@mattwalsh6347]

Nice Guilford boxcar! We get a lot of those here in Massachusetts. Cool to see they go out your way, too.

[@denisetindall1487]

I like train videos videos on KZbin 👍

[@TOOCOOLFORME]

Your videos are just great. I enjoy everyone. Great photography, editing and narration.Thanks much, Bob

[@donaldbartram6315]

When I drove for Smurfitt/Stone Corrugated. In Orange Ct.The train use to drop the cars inside like that Sidings off the Old New Haven line to New York;

[@GMTX-kg8ep]

It's nice to see the strobe light flashing.

[@ThornappleRiverRailSeries]

The strobes are always flashing when in RC mode, since that's the indicator to the world that there is nobody on point.

[@GMTX-kg8ep]

Whoa!! The RC mode was activated in here.

[@GEES44DC]

The boxes hanging off their vests didn't give it away???

[@GMTX-kg8ep]

GEES44DC oh my! I wasn't paying attention.

[@TheCandoRailfan]

A flashing light always means a Remote Control locomotive.

[@michaellindsay6735]

This engine look like one big remote-control model train set

[@Howoldareweanywayyipes]

I love trains.. don't know a thing about them.. have one at home that goes back and forth on three foot track.

[@tractorboy31]

i temp there once and its been probably 4 yrs ago right outside the door that was messed up and i saw a boxcar jump the track. unfortunately i was still on the clock otherwise i probably would have watched them rerail it

[@Mike-tg7dj]

Man! That looked like one cold day! Remote control what will they think of next trains that go from point to point with a operator in Jacksonville, Lincoln or Fort Worth that's controlling multiple trains. Even better a computer coordinating remotely all the trains in a subdivision. Scary that's sky net stuff.

[@Ithinkiwill66]

Oh man...I wish my warehouse still has this happening...I love trains! But then again the maintenance, and time it takes for the trains to shuffle the cars around, no wonder why only very few warehouses, and other businesses, still have the trains delivering/ and taking the cargo away

[@mdgfb05]

it actually takes longer to do it with trailers you know like park the trailer open it gt a forklift and take 1 thing at a time out and then organise in the warehouse then ship it out again ( if they do that )

[@GEES44DC]

It's more cost effective in most cases to drop a container off. Railroad still has the load but doesn't have the hassle of spotting and pulling the car.

[@danielsharon524]

Any idea what or how CSX charges for this type service?

[@rjl110919581]

THANK YOU DETAIL VIDEO ON OPERATION

[@mikeday62]

Another cold day in the shuntering yard.

[@mattwalsh6347]

One more comment. In Mansfield, MA there is a similar customer setup as in this video. There is a customer called Milton's Distribution in Mansfield, MA, and the boxcars go right inside the building, just like in your video. The conductor has to open and close the door before and after they switch them out, respectively.

[@Ithinkiwill66]

Is it still a chain operating door, or electronic?

[@elvin.castro]

Love the 3rd gen K5la on that Gp38

[@jaywattley335]

wait... that locomotive is remote controlled? ?!

[@darkbubblepenguin9865]

Awesome video mate 🚂

[@GMTX-kg8ep]

I love this!

[@AnJohnThanhNguyen]

Awesome video 👍🏻 👍🏻

[@jaywattley335]

wait... that locomotive is being remote controlled??

[@ClydeHoadley]

Does the yellow blinking light on top of the engine mean it is being radio controlled? If so, is the operator one of the 3 crewmen or are they somewhere else?

[@ThornappleRiverRailSeries]

Yes, the yellow light means they're in RC mode. Two of the crewmembers have belt packs for control. The RC is never done by a non-crewmember. The third crewmember in this scene was a conductor trainee.

[@sd80mac]

One of the two guys wearing the belt packs.

[@russellgxy2905]

Is it normal to just...snap the brake hoses like that? I can't imagine that's good for them

[@ThornappleRiverRailSeries]

Yeah the airhoses are designed to part in that manner. Doing so, versus a slow release, triggers the car's emergency air brakes, so the cars left behind, while also tied down with handbrakes, are not sitting there with their airbrakes released.

[@kennetha.oehrlein2415]

@@ThornappleRiverRailSeries no handbrake were applied

[@sd80mac]

@@kennetha.oehrlein2415 yes there were, it’s just not shown in this video.

[@manolo602]

Nice action. Are the 2 tracks on the left the mainline or auxiliary tracks?

[@kathycoffin2977]

Uses remote control locomotive. sees news report on unstopable 2630 :)

[@43m1garand]

Looks like they are using radio control for the engine.

[@albertocrespo1979]

nice video

[@lesashiminski690]

Not sure if good idea if guy on ground has something go wrong chance of runaway stick to 2 guys when working

[@FL_GA_Videos]

14:12 why are all three people on there?

[@randysrockandrollrailroad8207]

Cool!

[@thatzombieplace]

that locomotive is remote controlled? ?! wait...

Nice video ! Like ! Martin

[@bryanschlippjr4894]

0:20 what road was this

[@michaellindsay6735]

Is that remote control i do not see the driver in the cab

[@ThornappleRiverRailSeries]

Yes, it was a remote job.

[@tre-pi2jt]

I don't trust radio control locomotive.

[@michaellindsay6735]

That so cool

[@miguelhernandez-arrieta883]

Radio controled?
