I absolutely love the videos of them switching this business. The switch in the vault in the middle of the road along with an actual active switch there is very impressive to me.

Indonesian railway company has also these kind of machine

STREET RUNNING trains are very unique to watch when you're use to seeing tracks with ties and ballast. I've been to LaGrange, Ky to witness it there and definitely quite a sight to see! If you've never been, make it a bucket list destination. Cheers from Laurel, Delaware USA.

I ran trains through a half mile of street track age in Noblesville, Indiana. It worked okay as long as the motorists got out of the way.

There is really good one in Brno, Czech republic the tracks there are acually tram tracks but with little catch they have bigger Track Gauge than normal trams So its its suitable for the trains. In normal circumstances Trams are riding along the tracks but you can somethimes see Diesel engines there or even Steam engines insted of regular trams

Only in America can you overtake a train on the street... and only in America can you park a train on the street while cleaning the tracks!!! Fantastic !!! 😊

While I was still living in my college house, after I had been working for the railroad a couple years, I got to take home the locomotive! I lived less than 200 yards from an old junction track. We were doing a tourist / commuter excursion for a street exhibition in the next town over, where parking was going to be an absolute nightmare. So I was told to park the locomotive in a safe location near my house and then my coworkers could park at my house and ride the train in to work. Granted there were only 4 seats on the engine so we were a bit overcrowded, but it worked out phenomenally! There were probably 40,000 people milling about the city looking at 8 x 6 square city blocks of exhibits. They got on the train to escape the crowd, or maybe they also parked in the next town over! But either way, we were busy all day giving folks a quick 1-hour ride. But I will never forget the experience of taking home the company locomotive! Not many railroaders can say that with any genuine truth.

Absolutely love footage of small day-to-day operations with street running and small business service.

Most excellent brewery-switch yet. So good my wife asked me to turn down the curve-squeal.

This is why I need earphones to watch...my wife says "what is that squealing how is that enticing you?"

Living in the UK, where rail tracks are 100% fenced and strictly off limits, makes street running seem wildly anarchic and exotic. So much potential for collisions and accidents, not least for the guy casually operating the switch with uncontrolled road traffic squeezing past.

Low speed limit low traffic streets allow for this. You never see tracks in the street on busy roads. This is an old tradition over here and we know how to act around street running trains.

I really like watching the street running trains and this is really interesting watching thank you. 🇺🇲🚂🚃🚃🇺🇲

Apparently the locals are quite used to the Unit traveling down the street to the warehouse to pick up the empty cars, as I saw no lights or flags until it departed brewery!

Really enjoyed seeing this close quarters switching; rarely get to see it. Thank you kindly for sharing this.

Last mile is where the action is. Nice video.

Great video as always. Enjoying it from the 100+ feels like heat of the Carolinas

Is there a chance you might arrange to get inside the other side of the door to see where the empty grain cars are stored and where the new ones are put? Always enjoy your videos

I know that by you documenting this, it likely made the crews day with the attention on what they do for a living. Good Job!

All is well if they're getting malt to keep producing the beer. We could use a break from the rain. Good to see the other car loadings holding up and we await the return of Bìtold

I love watching the switching process in the middle of the road. Always fascinating to watch.

Absolutely great train video and interesting, most interesting and it's always good to know the rail crews because they know you know the safety rules and won't get in their way,Thanks for sharing this with the audience.

I’d say that move was a sweeping success!

This shunting video is fantastic. This switch setting device is interesting. Thanks for showing it and have a good week.

This video is great health and safety here in the UK world have a fit to see a large diesel loco on a city street !!!

Sitting on the other side of the Atlantic, I keep coming back to videos of this location, and I have no idea why. It's just nice to still have such local freight service instead of only trucking these days.

Such a simple exercise. Locomotive goes in and takes empty hoppers out. Returns with loaded hoppers. But strangely relaxing and enjoyable to watch. And the street running obviously adds that extra "something" missing from other shunting / switching videos. ☺ I've watched many of your other videos of these moves over the years and it doesn't seem to get old. 🥰 [watching from Gippsland, Australia.]

Спасибо, впечатляющие кадры, особенно когда машинист на дороге общего пользования, где автомобили ездят,что-то переключает .

My country has one of the densiest railway networks in the world, yet these street running trains are extremely rare here. It is fascinating to see the huge loco in the streets merging with regular car traffic.

I believe i still have a can of Maximus Super from the 80s that was brewed there.

Thanks for the video Railroading Rambler, always enjoy seeing trains going down streets.

At least with a single point switch there's only one point to clear out. 🙂 I wonder if the dirt washed in with a heavy rain, as I don't see a wider spill.

That loco’s gonna need some turn signals driving down the middle of the road making a left hand turn lol

Nice catch.

Absolutely awesome love it one of the few spots in u s they do this😊 12:56

I can't imagine switching that embedded switch is any fun. I've had some tall old switches that required 4 men and a 6-foot pipe to throw. This one still looks more difficult.

I often find it fascinating the way some trains in the United States are permitted to come Such as along the middle of a street like this, not something that you would never see in the UK. Very understandable why they have the bell ringing like they do - don't ever be tempted to change that, it makes for a real good safety precaution and a warning to motorists and pedestrians alike.

That loco wants to be a school bus when it grows up.

Très particulier ces voies ferrés au milieu de la route. En France, il n’y plus ce genre de voie depuis les années 1970/80. Ce type de voie existait en France vers le début du 20ème, c’était des lignes à intérêt local à écartement métrique. J’ai un exemple: ligne Bray-sur-Seine à Jouy-le Châtel, cette ligne a cessé toute activité pendant les années 1960-70. Seine et Marne, Île de France

Oh I see they put the covered hoppers inside so the graffiti artists have a place with scaffolds and air conditioning out of the weather. Great idea. I expect to see some excellent art in the future.

Nice! Wonder the last time boxcars were spotted at Matt's?

I'd love that job. Somebody will tell me to move over and I'd say "Sure, find the steering wheel for me" Then give them the number to central control to complain about me not knowing how to pull over. I honestly believe it could happen.

Very cool

They need to grease those rails. They're singing up a storm.
