Weird Train Splits The Buildings! Sperry Rail Doodle Bug, Railroad Diamond Rare Shot, CSX Loco Move

Railroad Diamond At 4 Track Railroad Crossing Rare Angle! Odd Train Goes Between Buildings Following High Rail Truck, Sperry Rail Train Passes Norfolk Southern Train, Penn Central Locomotive Leads Grain Train Passing RR Crossing, CSX Power Move & More! These trains are in Muncie, Indiana. Muncie Fire Department Has An Abandoned Railroad Siding Behind It.
Loaded grain train with a Norfolk Southern Railroad heritage unit leading is the first train. The Penn Central Railroad heritage unit is on the front as the train is approaching a railroad crossing in Muncie. The springs on the hopper cars are noticeably depressed due to the weight of the grain.
Then the gang heads over to a slightly rusty railroad track that goes between buildings on a curve. We see the rail up close before the train comes. A high rail truck is leading the train. The train is the GREX SPS train that has a track hoe on it for drainage work. One person operates this train which is remote control. The operator has a wireless devise that he uses to move the train while he is working the track hoe. The railroad saves money by not needing an engineer and conductor for the train and they save money by not having to wait for the crew to arrive. The track hoe operator is the only person needed. We also see an abandoned railroad track at a switch that is directly behind the Muncie Fire Department.
Next we go to a railroad diamond that sits right next to the 4 track railroad crossing. Check out the shot of the eastbound Norfolk Southern train with hopper cars and tank cars. Notice how many railfans showed up to Railfan with Scott and me. Pretty cool!
Then we go to another railroad crossing to try to catch a couple of trains crossing. We heard them on the scanner. A westbound NS train appears and stops while blocking the crossing. While it was stopped CSX made a small power move going eastbound. Then the Sperry Rail inspection vehicle passes us. It looks for microscopic cracks in the rail. Right after it passes, the NS train starts up. Listen to how loud the cars bang! That was pretty cool.
The pets and the slide show are at the end of the video. We also see a car that got pulled over right in front of us on our way home. The car appeared to have been speeding. We moved over to give the police room for the traffic stop.

That place here where you show the partially buried track was part of many War Emergency yards built in secret to help with the over flow of WWII supplies going over seas for our fighting men.these yards were located in strategic marshaling areas and hidden as much as possible from the air and line of site useing regular box cars.

[@kevinballuff1164]

I wish JT would have elaborated a little more showing those old tracks as to where they were going to. I'm gonna have to get on Google Earth and scope it out 👁️👃👁️

[@davidsweitzer9020]

I absolutely love seeing your "Tooth Crew" with you.

Thanks for the weird, doodle, rare, and loco. Which, if you think about it Señor Jaws, is a pretty good desription of the trains and your assembled railfan group. RT sends, Puebla, México...

Norfolk Southern's Penn Central heritage unit. FYI, Metro- North is adding heritage units this year. I wish some if them were New York Central.

Thank you for this additional video of your trip to Muncie, Indiana on 23 August 2023, Jw Tooth! enjoyed watching he trains in this video.

[@byronsmith339]

Many thanks Mr JT for covering north central Indiana...i grew up in kokomo over 50 years ago and many a penn central came rip roaring through that town....great to see the Penn Central loco in your video. I am a shut in now and your channel here on YT keeps me very happy.......sadly Kokomo has little or no rail anymore....last time i was train spotting was a few years ago in Logansport a great railroad town....God Bless you brother

Awesome video with a Penn Central heritage unit and a Sperry rail doodle bug but wait there’s more 👍😎🚂🇺🇸👍

[@AgentMulder1805]

Haven't left a comment for a while Jawtooth but I have to congratulate you on your Doodlebug catch! That is why I call our single carriage passenger service The Frankston Doodlebug after these famous machines! Good to catch up mate! 🚂🇦🇺🇺🇸🇦🇺🇺🇸🇦🇺🇺🇸🚂

[@JawTooth]

Welcome back! The last time that I saw one of these was when I was in Colorado at the railroad museum. It went around on a circle of track there. that was a long time ago. Anyway, thanks for watchibg and commenting!

[@tomatoes3]

Afternoon Brian , what always gets me is how near your able to get to the track, here in the UK it would all be fenced off. Great videos as usual , esp like your gang . 😊

[@JawTooth]

Thanks 👍😊

Some pretty sweet catches around Muncie JT . NS PC heritage unit, sperry rail doodle bug, not sure what that was going between the buildings. And Loki looks happy and healthy. Keep up the awesome job JT.

Hi Jawtooth! You are certainly bright today in your wonderful shirt! Love them! What a great video! Question: What is the purpose of the blue phone booth on the end car? Certainly not a port-a-potty!! Lol 😆 We love all your videos and the information you provide on the areas you visit! Thank you for sharing your fur babies and home and family with delightful artwork. Looking forward to catching more Jawtooth. Your crew on this one is interesting!!!

[@debbiestebbins2680]

But wait, theses more….of course there always is. Very cool. Great video , JT

[@tiladx]

I thought the pickup truck was the "weird train" from your video title and chuckled a bit. Then I heard the actual train horn. That was definitely an interesting work train. Also DOODLE BUG!!!!!!! 🐞

[@davidbrown4823]

Seeing you in the passenger seat, I thought for Chessie was driving. great video.

[@kevinsmith5288]

Wow, Don't see too many PC units around anymore!

[@sarge4455]

Never seen one of those crazy looking trains

[@jerrymolinari9001]

Really enjoy those working trains, and the sperry was cool.thank you JT. Also your pup loki is a very beautiful boy. He is growing fast.

[@JawTooth]

Thank you very much! Loki is getting really big. He can reach food on the counter. I can't believe how fast he is growing

[@verneord]

Now I know what a Sperryrail unit is and what it's functionally used for. Reminds me of the old inner urban rail cars.

Lots of action today! Great video JT! 🚂🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃💯👍🇺🇸

[@SantaFe19484]

Nice video! Getting a Sperry Rail Service doodle bug on camera is something I have yet to do. I thought they only operated in places where grade crossings are hard to find. We need to install cameras on those crossing gantries to photograph the license plates of runners and whack them with a huge fine.

[@KManXPressTheU]

Wow, That GREX sure knows where to find You, Jaw!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Great video from Muncie JT! Thanks 👍 ! 😊😊😊

Never seen a Sperry doodlebug before! Only ever heard the name doodlebug used as a nicknane for old steam motorail cars before today. Great catches, Jawtooth!

[@JeffRyman69]

I've ridden a Katy Doodlebug when I was a kid. They were powered by an internal combustion engine.

[@jsmurd]

What is a Sperry Doodle Bug car? What is it used for?

@@jsmurd They're a contractor that does specialized track testing for the railroads, like looking for cracks inside rails.

Are you kidding me? Penn Central. I thought everyone done forgot about that brand. Awesome video like always. Thanks for sharing...

[@JawTooth]

Thanks for watching!

[@draff1662]

Who owns the Penn Central name these days? I remember when they did over all the New York Central (and some Pennsylvania) cars and engines on the New York Central Harlem and Hudson commuter rail lines in the late 1960’s - olive green, every last one of them. A couple of years later they were all repainted again in silver/grey with a blue stripe when Metro North took over the commuter rail lines fro Penn C. New York Central was still using pre-1920’s rolling stock commuter cars, ceiling fans and straw seats (which did little for corporate types from Scarsdale in Brooks Brothers suits,). Thanks, Jaw Tooth.

[@ekimbrough1413]

Thank God JT! If this was another downtown Hamilton or northern Kentucky vid I was going to pull my hair out! Love this one! Your videos are fantastic...but could you show some Indy, Ft.Wayne, or Lexington Ky. vids? That would be lovely!

You really got some cool shots on this one. It was 99F here today but I try to not complain even though I want because soon it will be 68 degrees Fahrenheit and I will feel like I am frozen in my achy hip and back. Loved that weird looking rail inspection train between the buildings. I think I read somewhere that they were built on EMD GP40 locomotive bodies. Not sure if that is accurate though.

I have caught Lackawanna, Erie, Nickel Plate, Pennsylvania, Conrail, Illinois Terminal (my first), Penn Central (most recent), Central of Georgia, and I think Norfolk Southern. There was a train last year that had two of them on it that my mom and I chased down to Corning. I think that one had the NS and CofG I would have to look back and check. I have seen Virginian but haven't gotten photos or video that I remember, but 5 years and over 500 videos it's hard to remember everything I have caught. 9:11 that kid right next to the rail made me very nervous, never record that close to an active main line, granted nothing is likely to come with the train crossing the diamond but that's a bad habit that could get him killed some day.
