[@davidsweitzer9020]

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

[@RTWest-kn5fr]

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...

[@WilliamD.Hazlett-cr4gm]

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 👁️👃👁️

[@Carolb66]

I allways enjoy your videos from Muncie Indiana JT, Its a great place for watching the trains & other strange looking locos! Oh & cars on the tracks too, just Fab thank you. ❤😊

[@thomasmackowiak]

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.

[@danslejardindecytrus]

Merci beaucoup pour cette très belle vidéo ! Thanks a lot! 👍🙏

[@WilliamD.Hazlett-cr4gm]

Your dog Lokey brings me much joy as do the other dogs and animals and your fun loving family love watching all the tooth family.

[@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

[@DTD110865]

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.

Very good video my friend! Have a nice day! Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷

[@JawTooth]

Thanks for the visit

[@jimwilloughby]

The way that Sperry car was bobbin' and weavin' , I hope no one on board was tryin' to have a coffee.

[@beulahpowell1478]

On those 84 cars they sure was rusty.😊 That was spooky seeing that. Rail truck just a little way before that oncoming rain between the buildings. Cool clip.😊😊This was an awesome video. Some other railfans there too. Loki has beautiful markings. Going to be taller than Chessie too. Sweet fur babies. Thanks and take care Mr JT.❤😊

[@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!

A lot of nice trains going through the crossings today in Muncie Indiana and with lots of horns, some great train catches here, also the pets in the yard playing and the train slideshows, Thanks Jaw Tooth.🤠👍 🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🇺🇲💨

[@JawTooth]

Awesome! that is a rare catch

[@debbiestebbins2680]

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

[@BeeLineEast]

Cool catch on the Penn Central . I caught most of them not the Penn Central yet. Nickel Plate is in the Rutherford intermodal yard now.

[@train1962]

Very fine catches.Looks like everyone was having good time.

[@joohop]

HOT Here Too In Penzance , Cornwall Bless Up Team

[@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 👍😊

[@currentfaves65]

And no recording ATC airplane communications in the UK. Always thought that was strange.

[@davidbrown4823]

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

[@johnpyke4537]

You are always at the right place at the right time and have great photography at a good vantage point!!!!!! John, Michigan

[@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

[@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!!!!!!! 🐞

[@nancyhodges444]

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.

[@lonniebrewer3930]

The NS train that stopped is very common because CSX controls that particular diamond. Been seeing that for years. 😊

[@JawTooth]

Thanks for the info😊

[@JawTooth]

Yes, it was running down the New Castle Sub. This was a couple days apart@@FabianDiazTrainsTrucksNCars

[@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!

[@JawTooth]

Glad you enjoyed it and I plan on Lexington soon 😊

[@ekimbrough1413]

@@JawTooth Great!😀

[@TheVicarstownSentinel]

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?

[@RailRide]

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

That Sperry thing is really cool!! 😊😊😊

[@libby5335]

Another neat video! Liked the Sperry train. Had not seen that before. Nice group you connected with. Liked the woman who wanted to know if you were filming a special train. I would have asked the same question after seeing all those people. And as always, love to see Chessie and Loki!

[@JawTooth]

Thank you very much!😊

[@kevinsmith5288]

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

Neat GREX catch and more!!

[@carlahildebrand1544]

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!!!

[@sarge4455]

Never seen one of those crazy looking trains

[@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.

[@RailroadAdventures]

Great film I have seen all 20 but I continue to go catch them for better videos and photos of them.

[@RFMCabooseNP1713]

Great shot of train going over the diamond.

[@ellenyager9577]

I attended The Third International Theater Arts Conference in Muncie, Indiana at Ball State University! I still have my Ball U tee shirt that I brought home for my conservative dad! He laughed and wore it AT HOME! I loved it there! I was there a week when I was 16.

Here in the Melvindale, Michigan NS Oakwood yard, I've seen two PC heritage diesels.

[@jeffmiller4324]

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.

[@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.

[@nocapconnor600]

That’s incredible train car mr Jawtooth!!

[@CSXOhioRailFanPlus752]

Nice Catch

[@JawTooth]

Thank you very much!

[@WilliamD.Hazlett-cr4gm]

I've caught all the Herritage units when they were all in Altoona at the big round house in Juniata shops of the Pennsylvania Railroad Historical buildings now usedd by Norfolk Southern.

Nice healthy horn on that Penn Central loco.

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

[@RailRide]

Doodlebug is a nickname for a self-propelled passenger railcar powered by a combustion engine -- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doodlebug_(railcar) . Sperry Rail Service is a contractor that performs specialized track testing such as scanning for cracks developing inside rails. They use repurposed/rebuilt doodlebugs for much of their rail-testing apparatus. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sperry_Rail_Service

Great Catches!

[@timofeegraaay8165]

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.

[@markryan1754]

Many years back I worked for Sperry Rail Service on rail test car #SRS149

[@stevenpitts6665]

Thank you for the great videos JT. I don’t know how you manage in 90 degrees. I seize up anywhere near 70!

I caught 1 Norfolk southern heritage unit and it was pure luck. Almost didn't catch it.

[@kevinballuff1164]

Talked to a guy familiar with that area, he's in his upper 70s. He said to his recollection there were 2 tracks there decades ago
