These SW-1200's remind me of my childhood, when we lived across from Dodge Main Engine in Hamtramack, I would spend weekends just watching the SW switch up and switch boxcars, best entertainment a 4 year old could get. Thanks Jaw Tooth.

Very enjoyable video. I really enjoy the short line switching videos, as they remind me of how proud I was of every “kiss” coupling (no cars loudly slammed together), and how much I appreciated a good conductor . . . his skills helped make me look like a good engineer! Thanks for the memories!

Those first hopper cars are considered the "Cadillacs" for train riders. Those holes at the end are perfect for hiding and keeping dry. Lots of room too

The ones at 12:30? I don't think those are "Cadillacs". Cadillacs have open ends, but with plating across most of the side, don't they? Now I have to remember to come back here if I find one mentioned in a Shoestring video.

OK, minor miracle -- I found a relevant Shoestring video _and_ I was able to find this comment again! Confirmed that the grainers here aren't "Cadillacs". kzread.info/dash/bejne/m4OJrZiYZ8apedI.html Shoestring identifies a car as a "Cadillac" and then you see him sitting on it. The area under the sloping end of the hopper is open but obscured by high plate sides.

I'm guessing it's probably to much trouble and expense to repaint the cars every time they get marked only to have them marked up again a few days or weeks later. Plus, you would need an army of yard guards (bulls) looking out for taggers where ever the cars are parked.

There is nothing to be done about it. Such things the railfans care more about than the railroad. The railroad just hates the necessary information covered with paint. Companies are never going to repaint a car to get rid of graffiti. It's not worth the expense.

In the 70s and 80s do you remember seeing, I believe it was, “Herbie.” A line drawing of a guy with a big sombrero sitting under a palm tree. They say the artist could draw it in just a few seconds. He was a Carman working in a rail yard.

@@bootsdocsandconspiracies6589 Apparently, southern Illinois is known as "Little Egypt". The specific reasons seem rather fanciful to me, but there was a lot of desire in the then recently-independent USA to anchor their civilization to something from the past. They didn't want to model themselves on European colonial powers, so they went back to classical times. You see a lot of places in the US called Carthage, Cairo, Syracuse, Athens, Rome, Ravenna (a capital of the late Roman empire), Sparta, Lebanon, and so on. They're mostly named because people admired those civilizations, not because the city was founded by a bunch of people from there. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Illinois#Origin_of_%22Little_Egypt%22_name

Back to looking a bit rough again -poor old MP15 even got chalk numbers again ! But then it's a busy machine -rare to see a CCET train that it isnt part of these days -works hard for its owners ! First box car looks like its had a bit of a repaint and no tags on one side ! Things are looking up ! Nice video Jawtooth -catching all the action and the talk, Regards

And jaw tooth and that's cool train when doing switching ❤😊

Southern Pacific was famous for running switch engines here in California when i was kid I lived on Floradora street in Fresno ,,them old S6 and SW1200 would pull 50 loaded cars solo down the Clovis branch line right in front of my house. The San Joaquin valley RR still uses that line I should film it and post it. That line hasn't changed in over 100 years. I remember pulling up date nails from ties that were 1918 dtd 😉😉

Every time I see a switcher, it kind of reminds me of train youtubers.

Amazing videos jaw tooth keep up the good work

We used to have public passenger trains here in Jamaica. Now we only have the bauxite trains in St Ann and St Elizabeth. Used to ride the train a lot.

I remember back in the late 60's into the 70's the only graffiti on the cars was chalk that the railroad employees put on them. Sometimes I would see Kilroy was here. These days the entire car can be painted. Most of it I have no idea what it says.

I always give the thumbs up upon starting the video. I've never been disappointed. It's been at least a month since I've watched a rail cam video. They don't have the human touch somehow. Thank you for doing these.

Good video nice dogs

FYI: A RR education moment: At the 2:20 mark the employee getting on the boxcar while in motion got on with the wrong foot first. You ALWAYS get on and off moving equipment with the trailing foot first. If he would have gotten on the correct way with his right foot first it would have caught the right corner of the stirrup. A more secure way with less chance of slipping. That’s IF the railroad allows getting on and off moving equipment. Most railroads that I deal with do not allow it any longer. If he was to get off while in motion in that move he should get off with his right foot first. That way if he stumbles the momentum would take him away from the car. With a few scraps vs loosing a body part because the momentum carried him under the car.

CET ignores a lot of rules, like having a flag man at the crossing. Also, check out JT’s video about an idiot conductor (no names, please), riding the back of a boxcar as if he was starring in the Passion Play. That’s one of JT’s best videos.

True. Back in the day, we got on and off while rolling stock was moving. None of that stopping business, but I guess that's a safer way to do it. We also kicked cars and rode them, dropped cars into sidings/spurs and rode them in order to apply the hand brake and spot them. Ah, those were the days.

@billmorris2613

David Barnett I liked dropping cars. The largest drop I can remember was 28 gons into a sugar mill spur for loading the bagasse. Bagasse is the fibrous stalk particles left over after processing sugarcane. It was used to make a wall board that went on the outside of the outer walls of a house or building. The most popular size was 4 X 8 foot sheets around 1/2 inch thick. It was coated with a black tar like coating. I believe it is where the term, “blacked in,” comes from in construction. We had a big Celotex plant in Westwego, LA about 3 to 5 miles east of our Avondale Yard that got most of the bagasse.

You should come to the little town in Minerva Ohio. And film some trains. There is at least five or six railroad tracks running through the town. And also the back side of town has what’s left of a railroad turntable from the early 40s and 50s. That would be cool if you can get permission to go on their property to film it and talk about the history.
