i remember the days of multi-mile coal trains, (some 400 cars or more) and it was a pure pleasure to sit in traffic an watch them. i specifically remember the N&W one in Lorain Ohio that had OVER 500 LOADED COAL CARS and 8 engines! they had to split the load onto 4 different tracks. took almost an hour to clear the grade crossing as they had to break the train while moving using the dpu's to push away from the rest of the train in sections. this happened back in the early 1980's.

@@michaelking3327 As a really small kid, we would see 5 - 6 mile long trains with five locomotives at the head of the train, three in the middle, and four on the rear of Southern Pacific trains.

I'd rather he piped it into the video directly, either on one channel or both because that rail squeal is painful when trying to listen to their directions. Maybe even record it to a small digital recorder and super-impose it over the train movement audio?

I wonder if anyone stuck at that crossing lost their job because they were late to work. Behavior of this sort is unacceptable. The railroaders could have cleared the crossing for a minute without failing to get their jobs done. No wonder the public has a negative opinion of railroads. Personally, I love trains, but there has to be give and take. 20 minutes blocking a road is not necessary, and is probably not legal, either.

As a courtesy the crew should have cleared the crossing after pulling the loads. While not an excuse this is why people run gates. Hard to believe at one time those cars were factory fresh Now they're like warriors in an operating demo derby. With virtually no utility using steel cars the supply chain is left with aluminum cars with the curved bellys. Can they handle the rigors? Best oldies nearing the 50 year mark are former Detroit Edison now AMGX semi permanently coupled sets. Thanks JT for showing how those long freights have humble beginnings

Technically if the movement stops for more the five minutes that's when they have to clear the crossing. Where the movement is less than five minutes they don't have to. On the Boston and Maine RR we cleared a crossing out of respect for the motorous. Not only that, it was more time on the clock for us anyways and to keep the public happy.

Great way to start a Sunday, eating breakfast, having coffee and enjoying Jawtooth! Start the video, Son!👍👍

Love watching railroads switch industries. Thank you jawtooth

Jaw Tooth strikes again! What a marvelous video. There is nothing more interesting than the day-to-day workings of a short line. It was fascinating seeing how they serviced Cohen Recycling. Personally, I think they could have done ie in an easier and more time-saving manner, but what do I know. The highlight of the video was Jaw Tooth’s commentary, almost like a play-by-play. It kept us in the loop by letting us know what happening when it was happening. Yet another reason why JT is heads and tails over other railfan channels who are simply content to show us big freight trains speeding by. The photography is terrific, not only sharp and well-positioned, but always on the move to give us an ultimate look at the train. It just doesn’t get any better than this.

I knew a bunch of "greasers" in highschool😅

Since the switch was so near the roadway, wouldn't it have been good public relations to allow traffic to move after each move that almost cleared the crossing? (obviously not a railroader.)

Love switching operations.

As a UK railroad modeller with an interest in US practice, this is the first time I was aware that another crew member (conductor also presumably?) would turn up in a specific situation such as this one. Those drivers held at the crossing probably didn’t realise the company had ‘gone the extra mile’ on this occasion. Thanks for the educational video. 👍

Great video capture JT ! I liked how the crossing gate timed out, started to rise, then came right back down as consist slowly moved into siding. The gate was saying "are you in or out"! This video made my Sunday morning. Thanks.

Was the engineer here doing all the braking with the independent? Up to 20:18, the only air I've heard it's when he pulled the gladhand apart. Near the end, when he backed up to get the conductor, the lead loco's wheels were squeeling (they didn't squeel their first time on this piece of track,) and the lead wheels didn't seem to be turning (tho the trail loco wheels were.) Would the engineer have let the whole consist drag the lead loco (with independent applied) until it stopped, rather than apply automatic? That doesn't sound right.... I gotta be missing something. Just wondering your take..

Nice man

Nice!

Great video!🇺🇸

Very interesting, nice shooting, like I was standing there!

👍 Switching at its finest, nap time for the non-railfans sitting on the street at the gates. Great vid !!

I love trains. I don't work on them. I know train crews have a timeline to follow, but 3 extra minutes to clear traffic goes along way with P.R.

I love the old battered workhorses on the short lines. The horse in the beginning was nice as well - but I'll bet he doesn't work nearly as hard 😉

I really enjoyed this one. THIS is where the meat of railroading really is. I am not a fan of a 50 plus miles per hour freight screaming by for ANY amount of time. Your narration makes it super real and puts ME right there!! (and I do NOT have to drive, search, park, put up with the wind, people, or other discomforts) Your comments and screen notes flesh out the story MUCH more than just wheels squealing. And I MUST comment on your editing. This is where it REALLY shines. It takes a LOT of work to take a bunch of clips and make them into a flick this complete and contiguous!! Great videos are MADE in editing. I also enjoy the radio comm in there too. Wish it were better audio from that but ya got what ya got!! Hope you understand I really enjoyed this one. Even more than your usual great videos. Thanks JT, I appreciate all your work here.

Apparently that's a railroad thing, they do the same thing where I'm from. I get the impression RR's dont give a RIP about highway vehicles. I would be thinking about emergency responders, maybe there is another crossing close by. I know some states have laws about how long a crossing can be blocked, but not sure if they are enforced.

super cool power combo

Another good one JT, despite the wind. I had been wondering who was doing the ground work inside the scrapper's property but then read your description talking about the third crew member driving himself in. Faster and a lot safer than having the second crew ride back and forth on the end car.

HI we love the landscape great video very cute dog very nice horse .

I like this video. These remote locations is where the real action takes place, rather than just watching trains pass by over the mainlines. Some more interesting differences in USA / UK terminology here too: Conductor = Guard Switch = Points Switching = Shunting Cut = uncoupling Direction: In England the terms used are "Up" and Down". Up means lines heading towards London and Down means heading away from London. Therefore at any branch or siding, heading to the main line is UP and towards the end of the siding or branch line is Down.

Another great production from Jaw Tooth! Thank you sir! Man, every time you shoot something involving Cohen Industries, it takes me back JT. I grew up in Middletown (60's & 70's) about a block from where it all started. Back then, all they had were the 2 small yards between Grand & Central Avenue's as Cohen Brothers. Then they opened a yard out on Yankee Rd. I enlisted in 1980 and moved away for 36 years before moving back to the area, and WOW have they grown. Good to see a small business grow and become as successful as they have.

Pretty cool! Thank you!
