My Granny worked spreading ballast during WW2 on the CPR line in Ontario. The train car had a disk on an arm out the side to mark the line for the edge of the ballast, and the stones came out a chute on the bottom of the car. She had to rake the stones to match up with the disk mark. Then an Inspector walked the track with her and her partner, another local woman. If there was a stone past the line he'd point with his cane and they had to rake it up, and if there was an empty spot with no stone above the line, they had to rake stones down to cover it. She said the train tracks almost looked like a city park when they finished up.

As a retired Conductor i can tell you that when reporting for work you get a profile and a set of orders for your consist.If work trains are out you must radio call the track supervisor within two miles of their limits to see if you can pass even if you have a favorable signal.Also there could be speed restrictions or lifting of restrictions.Those trains seemed to be going awful fast for passing working crews.We usually slowed a bit no matter what so we can eyeball their equipment and visa versa.CSX

The work foreman of the track crew gives permission as the train crew asks for the permission to go by. In this case the foreman probably gave them permission to go at maximum authorized speed for his train. Before the train goes by the foreman will call all of his workers and they will confirm that they heard the foreman letting them know that a train will be coming on the other track

Fun fact, I was a UP conductor and RCL operator for 3 years, even better...my dad worked for Loram for 35 years and started there designing ballast cleaners. Over the years he started designing rail grinders and then became the Engineering manager for light rail grinders. They sent that equipment all over the world, Sweden, UK, China and Brazil.

A few years ago, I was on my way to go fishing, and the ballast cleaners were being parked on a passing siding near my fishing spot. I had a great conversation with the crew. They were covered with dust and looked as if they had just emerged from a coal mine. It was on the NS’s old Virginian main line east of Roanoke Va.

My Dad was a Conductor for 35yrs for the Southern Pacific out of Ogden Utah. I loved riding on those trains whenever I got a chance. It was a great experience. I hated it when the railroads broke the 5 man crew law and did away with the caboose. It was a greek tragedy.

I lived in Ogden for a couple of years. Loved seeing the trains go by while waiting for the Frontrunner to come

Just beautiful to see trains gliding along rails.

The 'strange horns' on the Loram equipment have different meanings. The first one was the hotrail alarm, indicating a train is about to pass. The second one that sounded after the first train passed was the work alarm, indicating the machine is in 'work mode' and hydraulics are active.

Have always loved trains. Thanks for bringing back good memories for this old man. Am 70 now. Back when I was in my 20s, I had my dream job. I got a job working at ElectroMotive Division (EMD) in LaGrange, Illinois where I started out in the Paint Shop Wharehouse and then on Final Test Department. Seeing the locomotive engines in your videos brought back good times. Got to occasionally get to ride short distances with an engineer as we would test out an engine that was near completion before final shipment to the buyer. On weekends, would go out and watch Burlington Northern passenger trains making runs from Chicago out to Aurora, Illinois where I lived. By counting the number of engines, could have an idea how long the train was going to be. Figured one engine would pull about 75 freight cars. I also took vacations to Pennsylvania and would watch trains travel along Horseshoe Curve. That was a long curve where you could be in the engine and had made it up the long haul amd then turn as you made the way down and could see the caboose that was still coming up the grade. Used to have timetables so I could know what train was where. Would enjoy seeing the Denver Zephyr heading from Chicago to Denver blowing through Naperville, Illinois and scaring the hell out of this youngster as the gust of wind nearly blew me from my feet.

Hello from the UK. I really love the bit where you can see two trains both running over separate crossings, just a few feet apart.

One of the scariest times of people running around the gates and striking a locomotive for train crews to experience is that scenario were two passing trains at a crossing and they run around the opposite train and suddenly appear in front of you.Trains have no steering wheels so never ever do trains hit cars its alway a auto striking a locomotive.

I know all those places. My family is from Fredonia, NY so I have spent a lot of time exploring the area. Always enjoyed hearing the trains at night while visiting grand parents.

Got into an argument a couple weeks ago about why rail companies hauling an empty gondola as the last car fill it full of water... I meen literaly fill it full of water...

That’s really cool!! I grew up next to a switchyard as a kid, until I was 23, in Danbury Connecticut. It was back in the early 70s. Because of the position of the yard, and the fact that it was in the middle of the city, I was always exited whenever we had to stop at a crossing. My dad would be a little impatient, but I was intrigued. The old yard still exists, but it’s a museum now, and lacks the old time glory! I live two towns away from where I grew up, and there’s an old line that’s tied to the old yard, but it’s owned by a small company that , to me, only serves this short stretch. I don’t get the chance to stand next to the tracks, and watch in a mesmerized state, as the long line of cars go by. I’ve purchased a bunch of HO train sets, with the thought that I could experience that feeling again, but they’re all sitting in my attic, for that “someday “ when I can recreate it. Thanks again for the inspiration!!

Thanks Nick appreciate it I'm glad you enjoyed it

I used to take my nephew to the train yard park along side the road and let him watch the trains. He was 5 then and cried when I wouldn't take home a train car for him. He grew up and ended up working for the railroad.

7:05 I saw the front engine shake hard on the track.

I grew up in Salamanca, NY, when the "switch yards" were running, the repair barns were still being used, and there was a fuel area just east of Main St. (By the way, it's Dunkirk, not Dun Kirk.) I started my Police Career in Salamanca back when the bar fights were almost every night, especially on "the Coast" which was Atlantic St., and paralleled the yards. Nothing is left of the yards except the Rail Museum.

Sounds like old school bars in Fredonia back in the day. The Erie RR went thru Salamanca and had a roundhouse also. Dunkirk, yes thats correct ive lived here for decades

That double meet was great. And that screaming helper engine in the middle was awesome. That guy was highballin'. I've done some close up train watching in the passes above L.A. and I always get nervous being that close to trains that are moving really fast cause if there every was a derail you'd be squashed like a bug!

Thanks I'm glad you enjoyed the video, yes you have to be careful near trains. When I film on the bridge of the trains going underneath it it can be scary they're going 60 miles an hour usually

Great catches! that shot on the road with the trains on both sides was really good! Lucky Railfan!

Good vid Bro, brings back many memories. Thank you
