The curved track alignment is very unique, nice filming. Rail enthusiast from India.

That is one of the coolest things I have ever seen! They backed the whole train inside the building and then left down the middle of the road. Awesome video and your dog is really cute!

Hey Jaw Tooth! Great to hear from you, always enjoyed your videos, they're epic!

Thanks for sharing another adventure at Door 18 of the brewery. On this video I noticed how close the vertical clearances are besides those on the sides. Watch out for any new low hanging lights or equipment! Cheers from Wisconsin and "Hi" to Witold! Our Chihuahua Peanut is on my lap as I type this.

This is a great prototype example that model railroaders can use that is 100% plausible. Modellers can also use this as a way to disguise the fact that the cars could be going into a hidden track or yard just beyond the interior of the loading/unloading bay.

I love watching the street switching at the brewery, it still amazes me how some that big can fit in the building. Thanks for the close up the train going in the brewery! It's really great to see Witold, he's looking great! Brenda from Johnston Rhode Island

1:52 The switch control is in the road! That is really cool. Great video!

I noticed that too. Only time I’ve seen something like that was on a streetcar line.

That old Geep could tell some stories if it could talk. Street switching and street running have always been my favourite hobby. This video makes me want to head for my usual spot... with my camera and a sixer of Utica Club.

Always enjoy watching these operations. Not sure I'll ever get to see it in person. Thanks for your videos!

Thanks for the videos ! My Grandfather was an engineer on the NYCRR from 1917 - 1967.

I always enjoy watching your videos.

This has always been one of my favorite switch operations to watch. Great angle and great video!

Thank you for sharing.

Beautiful weather we are having.

All the times I’ve gone to Utica to visit family, I’ve never been able to catch any rail action. Nice video. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the video.

Very cool. Thanks for sharing.

It was really neat to watch this. Awesome!!

I love street running and I love switching! So street running combined with switching, oh boy! I know they are professionals but that seems crazy that they back out of the brewery without a conductor at the back of the locomotive.

I'm amazed the Susquehanna is still running. It came back from the dead in the 1980s and somehow is still hanging in there.

i love how not only is it an old manned switch but its smooth as butter

That was an awesome video I really enjoyed that.

Awesome video! Love the switching at the brewery!! Nice catch

These street-running trains are fascinating. We don't have anything like this in my area.

Always appreciate your posts. I forward them to other rail fans. One goes to a guy who used to live in Utica and volunteered on the ADK Scenic RR.

That ancient green crossing shanty on Schuyler Street was reproduced as an HO scale brass import by Overland Models some years ago.

@@railroadingrambler218 You probably know this but "December 5th, 1933, will forever be marked as the day prohibition was repealed. West End Brewing Co. was the first brewery in the country to have a license, and the first to legally sell beer. There was a big parade that started at the brewery and ended at the Hotel Utica where people enjoyed pints of the first legal beer to be poured in the country, Utica Club."

Yes, I recall reading about that but forgot some of the details; thanks for posting that info. My great grandfather was a saloon keeper in West Utica who operated his business both before and during Prohibition; he was arrested by the Feds but managed to post a very high bail within hours. He was not only selling booze when it was illegal to do so but his offerings contained just a wee bit of wood alcohol, lol. I only found out about this long after my paternal grandfather, son of my bootlegging great grandfather, and my father passed away.

Looking in from North Yorkshire, England. Love your videos.

Your videos never disappoint... Great coverage of the local working the brewery in Utica. That switch under the road plate was amazing. Haven't seen one of those before.. Nice to see your railfan companion on the walk home... Another incredible video bro.!!

They're nicknamed a Submarine Switch, because when it rains, the switch stand is underwater

Nice film! Always love seeing good old EMD's switching local businesses. Especially the whirly rumble of turbo prime movers.

Good to see your still on here. Had to look you up, to see if you are still making videos. I enjoy seeing this train on the tracks as I pass by on Route 12. Thank you. Your dog looks great. 🙂

Very nice video. Easy switching work for this day - no ice, slush, or snow to deal with! Always interesting to watch them delivering to the brewery, too. Withold seemed to be taking things in stride, checking out the smells along the way.😊 Stay safe and well, the both of you!

I love watching switching, and this is a pretty unusual one. Thank you for catching it for us!

Interesting video and locomotive at work. Greetings from Poland. 👍

That was really cool, looks like quite the operation! I like those under ground switches, there are some near me in Fondulac, WI. Street switching is cool! (Dave).

Thanks for posting from Canada - enjoy the switching at the plant. They make it look so easy but I know it's not. Lots of planning go into moves like that.

Thanks for sharing. My wife grew up withe the Matt family children in New Hartford. From what i used to hear, they would throw a hell of a good party. Just pull up the beer teuck and open the taps. Nice to see Utica with no snow on the ground this time of year👍

Love it…….thanks for showing…..beautiful engine .

I wish companies still put any effort into their buildings and sites. Brick factories and warehouses near where people live, with tracks leading into them are so much more asthetically pleasing than miles of gray boxes next to the interstate.

Interesting vid. I've always liked seeing street running/switching. I got a chuckle at the end of your vid, seeing a Labatt Ice can on the ground from up here in Canada. Ironic, being just outside the brewery though. Cheerz

Greetings from Tonawanda NY! It’s cooler than the last few days.

Great video. I like trains. That's a beautiful dog

Witold! Hi Buddy! This was a fun one, So cozy. Thank you from Southern Oregon.

I love the little green tower at the grade crossing , it looks like the one that Atlas model railroad has been selling for years .

Excellent beer and soft drinks .....worth the trip if you like either one or better yet, both!! 😃😃😃😃😃

Looking good from Mooresville N.C. , we are now able to get F.X.Matt products here in N.C. Thanks for the video 😊

I love the railroad switch in the road the conductor throws I always wanted to work for the railroad long time ago

Good to see this.

That switch on the ground and that curved track. Impressive. Great switching action!

I'm from Ukraine, a professional programmer for ~25 years, and also a railroad fan, wanting to come to US with my family to stay somewhere in NY or NJ, it seems Utica is an approriate place for that.

Nice dog , and love the train thanks for the video

Always a treat to watch them switch here and I didn't know they went that deeply into the building. It's hard to tell where these loads originate as the cars are leasers. GBRX is Greenbrier Leasing and GPLX is GATX Inc and they usually use those cars to haul plastic pellets. Too bad you can't see the former CNW yellow or WC cream with red lettering and herald carrying malt as they have been repainted. Glad to see Witold moving under his own power

@@kentpitman5649 thanks for the input sadly the Froedtert malt plant here in West Milwaukee got demolished last year and that was the biggest rail customer in Milwaukee usually about 30 to 40 cars a day in and out combined. Also Anheuser-Busch sold off the Manitowoc WI plant maybe 10 years ago and sounds like they're down to a plant in Idaho. The Manitowoc facility is now just a grain storage facility

This is a great video, but to fully enjoy it you have to watch with ear buds or headphones on. You must have a great stereo mic because the audio is topnotch.

Good old nuber 3040 back on duty!

Beatiuful video, greetings 👍🔔🚂

I used to live in Oriskany , born there.. i know this area well.

Here in MI, we have been having above freezing days, and below freezing nights, which is ideal for sap collection. Maple sap is being tapped here as well, about 2 weeks earlier than usual.

It looked like a beautiful day to do some street running. Thanks!

Fantastic video, great train traffic in the city. 👍👍👍🙋‍♂

When the train was backing into the building it looked like the building was swallowing the train. 😊 🇨🇦

I saw a seine sorta like this in Chicago as I delivered a flatbed. I too drove through the plaint

Love Locomotive Sounds ❤

Very cool! thanks!

Great video of switching those cars!

I have the 3040 pre-ordered in n scale. Great to see her in action.

Nice video! Was that an old crossing guard tower in the distance?

Hey rail rambler glad to Matt's brewery does rail service. 🙋‍♀️

I would love to go to Utica to catch some street running. It's about 12 hours/700 miles however for me. *sigh* Nice video. I enjoyed it!

Now we can see how an O gauge layout works in real life scale on curves!!!! 😆😁😁😆

Looking at the footage at 6:13 I'd say pulling 2 mty's out and putting 2 full ones in as that wagon 36107 has its valves open.

2:00 I’m surprised they have a streetcar-like single point switch. Didn’t realize that was allowed on the railroad

A brewery I’ve never heard of getting grain cars, very impressive. I live in CA and of the 1000 or so breweries in the state, only Bud and coors can take railcars.

seems the curve is just sharp enough to make the rail sing like a violin string

It's interesting to me to watch an engine switch back and forth like that. I also appreciate the building arctecheture as the building curves around the track like that.😊

Idk why but the horn sounds amazing

That was so neat

So cool
