I just looked these tunnels up.The west tunnel was built in 1853 and the east tunnel was built in 1912.

Cool, thanks for the information! I have been looking for that

I’m a train conductor. And did you know you can’t stop in the tunnel or blow the horn in it. They can really only stop in a tunnel durning an emergency and even then the engines have to be out of it.

I can't believe how Americans hate to be bothered by waiting on trains. These wonder behemoths haul All of our good s and get it to us on time . I grew up on the S. Side of Chicago.you want trains. Go to 103rd street & stand on THAT bridge & look down. So many pairs coming in to & out of that city. Then there is Hammond Indiana, So many pairs crisscrossing & intersectinh. Then there is Newton Ks. Stand on the bridges & look down. Make No. mistake

I love seeing Norfie and Chessie!

Great excellent video, mr Jaw Tooth. The highrailtruck is something in the Netherlands do not no. Inspection of the railroad is operated by a measeringtrain. By ProRail the owner of the spurs in the Netherlands give this train the name Jules. But what you have in the U.S.A. is also going on in the Netherlands. Long, very l ook nog rolled rails for new spurs and maintenance. Greet from Zandvoort the Netherlands.

Another sweet spot,you still need a hat😉

Yep, as the others have said, that out of service tunnel isn't tall enough for modern freights to pass through consistently. At least that's the way it looks in the video. Now......... go cool off with a nice shower bath. I think that cute little cat loves her "Daddy". Thanks for another good one.

That is so cool with the tunnel shot. First engine was so clean and shiny, looking very new along with so many tank cars shiny and graffiti-free! So great to see that too. Great job!

It's a fresh coat of paint, it's one of the many NS Dash 9 rebuilds coming out of the shops. Been seeing more of these units lately, nice and shiny until they get a few months of work, then that shine will start fading. Still nice to video and photograph while it last.

Very cool! Awesome that you saw this video! It was nice talking to you and welcome to the world of trains. My cousin has a motorcycle and he visited me on it a couple days ago. Have a great week Robert!

Thank you for documenting these two trains at Lambs Ferry Tunnels near Ryland, Kentucky and also the high rail truck getting off the tracks. The tunnels were a interesting to see. I would think that the one tunnel probably needs some repairs that the CSX does not want to pay for. With the reduction in use of this line, only one tunnel is needed. That was neat to see the high rail truck getting off the tracks. The northbound mixed freight with the continuous weld rail cars on the end was an interesting train. The smell of the honeysuckle must have been a better smell than the fumes from the diesel locomotives.

That's a good spot. That was a real cool shot of the train coming through the tunnel.

The track in service has tight enough clearances but the out of service one looks like the tunnel is smaller yet. Another cool spot you managed to find there. The empty ribbon rail cars were neat, thanks for another great video.

I went back and found an old JawTooth video from 2015 (kzread.info/dash/bejne/o6aJz8WYnNW5eLQ.html) that showed a train going into the now out of service tunnel. Just looking at the fit of the engines compared to the engines on this train, it is clear that the other tunnel is lower. Probably too small for over height cars like autoracks and double stacks.

Good observation Frank. An older post on the tunnels from May 2020 said due to a drop in traffic from the pandemic CSX had decided to mothball that track until traffic returned to normal.

With that fresh NS DC to AC conversion pulling all those ethanol cars you sure get the feel for the song Long Black Train Filmed not too far away on the TVRM this tunnel and the dormant one certainly convey the empty lonely and scared emotions with that ray of hope and faith. CSX train was quite the mixture of freight from orange juice to metal wire. Here's to patience in the heat and remembering to take adequate water. Wendy's isn't it every railroad location

Nice shot of that tanker train coming out of the tunnel 👍🏼

I quite enjoy train content, Im a railfan myself

At 3:05 the lights on the train made the tracks shine in the tunnel like they were burning. Nice angle on the video.

Super clean fresh paint on that lead Loco NS and those tankers look new and shiny makes it all even better to watch.

Awesome location as always. That one tunnel didn’t look big enough for a train to get through. Noticed the tanker train Had a very clean looking NS unit leading, and a lot of clean tankers too. Those are some pretty narrow tunnels. Nice video JT. Thanks.👍🏼

Ohhh! Wow! I am just taking a look at your videos, this is just amazing!! What a view! Great shoot! Thank you very much Mr. Jaw Tooth! 😀👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Man, I got tunnel vision after that video! That was Cool even in The Hottest of Conditions! I would have loved a look inside the unused tunnel, but safety comes first. So Stay safe and thank you 4 the video!

3:08 The left tunnel is definitely higher - and looking at the reinforced lower part of the tunnel wall (with, ahem, the naughty grafitti on it) I wonder if the clearance has been increased at some point by digging out the tunnel floor. The track appears to be slightly lower than the one in the disused tunnel.

The northbound tunnel looks like it hasn't been expanded for double stacks.

Awesome spot! I've always wanted to go up there and see those! Awesome video Jawtooth! Thanks for sharing!

Well done, great spot. Keep the videos coming. There are 3 tunnels in use as you enter the Hoboken Train Terminal. Each tunnel has 3 sections. Lots of fun going through them on the daily commute and seeing NYC as you exit.

Great location! The tunnels are cool. Interesting seeing the truck rail wheel mechanism. Thanks!

Now that's a cool area to get trains at. Two tunnels side by side which is a great railfanning spot, Millenniumforce would love this. I do love how you can see the ditch lights of the train but the whole train doesn't show until it's out of the dark tunnel

Keep them coming just like all of the videos that you put on Stay safe George Whelan from the UK 🇬🇧

That was a mega awesome shot of the train coming out of the tunnel with the train lights !! 👍 Notice how that waited to blow the horn once they exited the tunnel, imagine how loud that would be to them with the sound waves in the tunnel. Looked like that DPU snuck up on you 😄... Really nice spot !! 👍 GREAT video !! 👍 👍 👍

Lots of tank cars on that first train. All kinds of stuff on the second including a DPU and squeaky wheels!

Great location! Very cool side-by-side tunnels. A tanker train carrying alcohol (not the drinkable type) is a favorite (the tanker cars - not the liquid) coming out of a tunnel it barely fits :) The manifest is cool going into the tunnel. Thanks for going to these locations, these are things we don't normally see :)

The tunnel for TRACK #2 has NOT been cleared for double-stacks and it sits on a higher alignment ergo high clearance loads can only use TRACK #1 - thus limiting capacity

🎶Señor Jaws. You may have never tried this. Works well with the tunnel action. Put on a slow backing track, Em or Am (Mi menor, La menor, if you use that notation), then jam in the minor pentatonic scale of your choice. Goes great for some reason with tunnels. I got a Martin 6-string acoustic-electric, but no amp at present. You should try it on your electric guitar. Probably even better sounding. Who woulda known? Gracias por tu video.

Of course we all know this but for those that don’t, if you see one or two units or all units leading and they all have the A end forward then you know a DPU is coming with the B end forward.

Nice new engine on the lead of the first train, missed a golden opportunity to ask the guy in the Hi-Raider as to why that tunnel is closed
