Rarest Train I Ever Filmed! Dupps Railroad Company DUKX
Ойын-сауық
Unusual train! Private railroad makes public appearance with tiny General Electric switcher at unprotected railroad crossing! I got lucky to catch this industrial railroad in use. Dupps Railroad in Germantown, Ohio. Dupps owns nearly 5 miles of track that runs from Carlisle, Ohio with a CSX interchange to Germantown, Ohio to Dupps Company. Dupps has 4 tracks, an awesome GE end cab switcher and a dozen or so older railroad cars. Dupps rarely runs a train all the way to CSX. That only happens 3 or 4 times a year. Most of their operations are moving cars loaded with huge equipment from one area to another. The train goes outside their property about 2 or 3 times a week when moving equipment for painting or construction. I got lucky to catch that happening on October 25-2019 CE. The train uses a one man crew. I filmed the train crossing Warren Street a couple times with heavy loads. This equipment sells for over a million dollars and when they make a sale, the train moves the loads to CSX for pickup. I also filmed some of their track and a huge trestle with gates to keep trespassers off the bridge. Also, of interest, is a covered bridge near the tracks and an old caboose that was left on a non cut off siding in town. Alleys and sidewalks parallel the tracks through town so it was easy to film. Don't ask me what Dupps does but if you are curious here is their site. www.dupps.com/ There are no other videos of this train moving on KZread so this is really a rare catch. The Dupps 5 mile long spur continued on all the way across Ohio until it was removed in the 1980s. At the CSX connection there was also a railroad diamond with another connection to Norfolk Southern at Carlisle, Ohio. That appears to have been removed not very long ago. This is one railroad that I would really, really love to film in operation. Could you imagine how awesome it would look seeing this red locomotive and a couple freight cars going past homes and cross buck crossings? The tracks have a mix of sectional rail and welded rail with thick ballast and the vegetation is maintained. Most of the ties are in pretty good shape. The tracks are used so infrequently that I bet there is never a shine on the rails. There is a sidewalk that goes along the tracks all the way to Dupps but the last part is overgrown and neighbors have been dumping tree branches across it. I got burrs all over my pants. One neighbor told me that he has only seen the train go past his property a couple times. Anyway, thanks for watching! Please leave a comment, thumbs up and SUBSCRIBE TO JAWTOOTH!!

Wow Jaw Tooth, you find the cool stuff! I never heard of this railroad before this video.
I love this little engine. If I would have known two of my favorite things in the whole world, trains and covered bridges, I would have gone to Germantown a long time ago!
Dear Mr. Jawtooth, I am also a big railroad fan. My gReat grand father was section boss on the local railroad around 1910. I feel somehow like I have love of trains in my blood. I have watched every video of yours that I can find.
Very cool switching action and unusual to see those little switchers anymore.

I got real lucky on this one George. They don't run it much and these tracks never get a good shine on them. About five miles of track with only the one customer who also owns the track
Love that little engine-nicely kept...and even its bell is shined up!

The journal box covers are supposed to be removed if going thru interchange but as these are in plant cars, that isn't mandatory. And with paint spray being around, keeping the covers on would help protect the bearings.

Would an engine like that perhaps be diesel only (no electric) ?
Awesome trains in Germantown, Ohio, thank you.
What an absolute treat ! 👍🚂🚂🛤️
This was a great catch. I love "critters" - the littlest locomotives. There was a really interesting one that sat for a while at the old Landmark grain elevator in Columbus, OH - it actually had a jackshaft and a single powered axle! Sadly, when Landmark abandoned the elevator, the locomotive was left to rot (and eventually removed).
To me, this is more exciting than watching a Big Boy. Thanks for sharing such a rare find.
As a lifelong rail fan, my dad and I were in a Railroad club when I was younger down in N.C. There were a couple of 45 ton engines & and eventually the got a bit larger one. Progress forward quite a few years and I was driving trucks and eventually carried one of these same locomotives (25 ton GE) about 150 miles to the club dad and I used to be in. Probably one of my coolest trips as a truck driver. I have been up through The Buckeye quite a bit few the years and have seen a good number of old engines like this one and a few others as well. Nice video btw.
Also beautiful photos of the bridges with the Fall colors.
What a cute little engine I remember having a locomotive like that on my HO Scale Train Set when I was a kid just a little teeny four-wheel end-cab Switcher I've never seen one of those real life that is the smallest switch engine I have ever seen in America peace out jaw tooth have a great day

Great starter set I got from mom for christmas!
Loved this. Especially when the engine is pushing backward. Love power talk thank you as always J.T.
The equipment look like turbine engines for wind turbines or for factory usage. That’s cool that you were able to capture this rarity. Keep up the good work! That switcher is pulling two of those turbines!? Wow! 😳

Was this line built for Dupps, or was it an existing branch of a former railroad? Great video. I love videos of rarely used action.
This is what Dupps produces: For eighty years, the Dupps Company has been the worldwide leader in providing high-quality rendering equipment and service to the animal byproducts and protein recycling industry. Today, we’re expanding our role - applying our capability and experience to include process systems and service to industries that are key to the sustainability of our environment and our world. So they produce equipment to make biofuel, render proteins for animal feed and other processees to help protect the environment and promote good environmental practices.
This is the old Cincinnati northern RR. PC welded the rail back in the 1970s. I caught a CR train , north bound between Carlisle and Germantown in 1979. The CN branched off the NYC in carlisle,then went 1 mile to a crossing with the B&O cincy-toledo main. CR ran the last train on this line about 1983 when they tore up the line north of Germantown. (farmersville,west alexandria,lewisburg,west machchester(PRR crossing)etc,,, Dupps bought the line, but Chessie did not want a diamond, so they built a connection(i think there was an old right of way connection in place)to Chessie and ripped out the diamond. I have many photos at the diamond of BO/CR. Lewisburg bought the old depot and moved it to a nearby park. West Alexandria depot is in place.
Yep, they were some big contraptions haha 😆 great job as always!

Probably to keep kids off the bridge. If a kid is hurt, of course the lawyers would sue. Even though the RR says they are trespassing. It happened around here, never did hear what the courts decided. But Conrail (at that time) put up a warning bell if a train was coming. Kids were jumping off the bridge into the river.
Brian, another educational video, great for us model railroaders. Thanks for posting it & keep them coming, sincerely from Eastern Shore of Maryland 🦀🍺🚂🛤😎👍👍👍

Good job Tooth. That covered bridge ~ that's a beautiful bit of Americana. Nothing like the No. 1 Dupps to be rolling by. Good filming Tooth.
Super impressed with the yard dog locomotive. That equipment looked like it had some weight to it. Good timing and cool video. Thanks!

Thank you for documenting the Dupps Railroad in action within their plant area. It was fascinating watching the engineer moving the cars with the little two-axel engine.

Love it! Thanks for this. I'm in the habit of checking out the locations of these videos on google maps and streetview (since I'm on the other side of the world and am unlikely to ever visit them in person). After the recent Franklin street-running videos, I naturally followed the (now disjointed) track north and noticed the Dupps factory with its little GE switcher and wondered about the operations there. I even noticed the gate across the truss bridge and thought perhaps the Dupps trains never ventured out of town. So it's good to know that it does occasionally get a decent run. That's got to be about the quietest US train I've ever seen (or heard). I get so used to bells and the usual 2 long, 1 short 1 long horn blasts on every US railroad video, that it becomes very noticeable when those sounds are missing. Surprising there wasn't really any warning when entering the road crossing. Yes, it was dead slow, but still. :)
Awesome Video Thanks for posting..
Powerful little engine, great catch.
Yet another amazing video!!! 😍😍😍
I grew up 10 minutes from this track. I've never seen a train cross before. Years ago, pretty sure this used to be a main line that went through west alexandria. Pretty awesome that you got this video! You should try to get an Amtrak in the early morning hours in Hamilton. It's pretty awesome to see, especially since you don't really see those around this part of Ohio.

There's a 25 ton switcher at The New Hope Valley Rwy in Bonsal North Carolina like that one. I carried it on a lowboy from Charlotte NC to Bonsal about 15 years ago. It's not running but NHVRR has some great little engines. It's really neat to see one running as the one I carried wasn't. Thanks and if you get down to Central NC check out the NHVRR.
That switcher looked like a large diesel truck cab from the side view. Amazing.

Rare indeed! I grew up in Farmersville just north of there and the 16 years I lived there I never once saw that engine move. The caboose said “snakes snow” or something like that at one time. From what I know Dupps makes meat grinding equipment.
Thats so sweet and cool i love it
Hi Jaw Tooth. Good video on Dupps engine. Did you notice that the cars had no air hoses and probably no air system, or hand brakes, it looked as though they had brake shoes and a lower adjustment connecting rod. Although on one car I did see a hand brake. They also had old style brass bearings and steel wedges inside the journal box,unlike the newer style roller bearings. Thanks for all your videos.
Operated a similar locomotive was made around 1947 I believe originally it had a 220 Cummins powering the gen. When it went bad it was updated to a 5.9 cummins. Tough little locos
From looking on Google Maps this branch used to continue North past Dupps. And when still connected to NS at the Diamond headed south this would be the same line that crosses the river and into Franklin that you filled the street running recently.
We had a similar little switcher on HO ... well the model one was not as plain as the real one LOL. Really crazy catch, love this small rare lines that still operating to join factories to the main or just move stuf like the molten metal train.
great video
Very interesting catch

That rusty old line looks like somebody's old main line , 6 bolt fish joints and what appears to be fairly tall steel . Dupps probably picked up those flat cars for scrap metal value with the old style journals. Cool vid JT. HOOTY TOOT TOOT !
Also if you ever get to Pennsylvania, in Hershey at the West Hershey Plant they have a track mover which they use to stage cars of ingredients on two spur lines on Hershey property. Norfolk Southern delivers full cars and picks up the empties. Hershey employees make switches about 3 to 4 times a day depending on the amount of product they produce, using a two person crew. NS delivers full cars I believe every other day. It may be something you would be interested in. The plant is located at 1033 Old West Chocolate Ave. in Hershey, Pa. The main NS line runs parallel to that road.
