Great shots. That frito lay plant is a nice one for model railroaders to use as a prototype. Incredible how they cross such a busy highway. Having a switching layout, it confirms that I’m not crazy having multiple shove moves in my operations. Thanks for sharing.

It does happen, and as a rule the RR pre-dates the car traffic roads. Just apparently govs don’t always want to pay for bridges/underpass.

Nice job. I sent one of the crew members a link to your last video of the RJC line and he responded, "Oh... that's the guy with the drone". I told him to be nice to you.

Those are some long sidings in some industrial parks either due to plant size or how the track layout goes. Three cars of good grain or corn one car of cooking oil and you're well on your way to Fritos or bugles. No double dipping allowed

Great work Scott. Appreciate all your videos, one Stark County Ohio native here!!😅

I remember when the B/O spur line was still in use that ran from Lodi to Wooster toward the last years of use how the box cars would really roll from side to side as loco went super slow!! Tracks definitely were run down at those last years of use Would run from Wooster up along killbucl creek valley to Lodi

Awesome 👍🏻

8:45 WOW!!! It is just an island track circuit without any approach circuits. Is it labeled as an exempt crossing? Stopping at that grade crossing would be more dangerous than treating it as exempt/abandoned.

@curtallen8076

Yes, it is exempt. That's US 30, and I have driven over that crossing dozens of times in the 40+ years I have lived nearby, but never had to wait for a train.

I think this is the line we drove over on our way to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.

So much power in that loco!

Years ago they would have had a run around track so they wouldn't need to do the long run back to the main. They would switch out at the factory. I miss the old days

I saw on YT where a passenger train has to set back into a station in Florida, the conductor held a length of hose with a horn attached which was attached to the brake line.

Nice video. A nerdy distinction... it's not a freeway, it's a highway. Freeways have no lights, intersections, crossings, etc.

Very nice. And the person making sure traffic sees they are coming. Yeah, that IS needed. We have these blinking red lights over street crossing for pedestrians here. Press the button they start flashing, then they go red, person can cross, then they start flashing (warning time at end), finally off. And I've seen cars just blast through those flashing lights above not even seeming to notice.

The Lodi-Wooster branch was washed out in the flood of 1969 I believe, and never rebuilt.

Looks like a large model railroad.

So that's how the orange die gets delivered

Your exactly right and the more cars the worse it gets . it depends a lot on just how skilled the engineer is. A new engineer will fan the independent brake and it will nearly knock you off the end of the cars. I've tied up hand brakes on the end of cars before to knull that out before. It makes them keep pushing and not fan that brake.

As an european it's interesting to see how people barely care for the signals over there. Here in sweden if you don't care for the signals you will be fined and may get hit by a train going 120kmh+ and you're also most likely plowing down a barrier you'll be paying for if you survive. There's no waiting 10 minutes for the train, in my experience.

Is the locomotive an ICG Paducah rebuilt unit?

Holy 💩 look at that conductor out there on that highway. There's gates, right? That dude needs hazard pay.

It does have crossing lights on each side of the highway . But I do feel sorry for the guy who has to flag the crossing . flagging 4 lanes of traffic is highly dangerous . I shoved over a crossing like that for 38 years and stopping is the worse thing you can do it cancels the crossing lights and I've nearly been run over several times.the general public don't care and they think they will be stopped for a 100 car train . That flagman needs a caboose as a shoving platform and quit stopping . BTW just what is a exempted crossing ?

So this track crosses a state highway, not a federal interstate highway like I initially thought, even though I see large sections of it are grade-separated. In my state of FL I can think of a couple of areas like this, and several examples where a road is called a "state highway" but is really a stroad with a ton of intersections and driveway cuts. I think in South FL near Miami the FEC track that Brightline runs on crosses some 8-lane roads but most are more modest at 4-6 lanes. Otherwise this is a nice video with some good aerial shots.

A level crossing over a 4 lane road is not unusual anywhere. And it’s a limited access highway at this point as further down at each end you have surface streets also crossing the highway at grade and businesses facing on to it.

Crossing with 4-lane freeway without barriers? It's a joke. 😮

A train cross a highway??? How stupid is this hahaha. The video is nice. Well done.

The thing is, if you live in this location, then you are aware of the railway situation and learn to live with it or move elsewhere. To argue with it or drive badly then its down to you. Just don't think you will win, when up against trains, the trains will always win.

So I’m trying to comprehend this… when the train crosses the highway, is there no track at all or is there a recessed track that it’s traveling on?
