Jersey Mike's Rail Videos

Jersey Mike's Rail Videos

KZread channel devoted to the mostly railroad related videos taken on my many outings. While my personal specialty is railroad signaling and interlocking technology there's not too much of that here as such things don't tend to move around and need to be captured in video. Most videos are taken in the Northeast United States, but I do get out on the road a good deal.

If you like my signaling and interlocking videos check out my Photo Blog posts or my direct photo gallery directly at: the links listed below.

    Freight manifest trains must not use this right-of-way, because the track geometry/alignment is absolutely flawless! If it wasn't for the title of the video, I would swear this footage was taken somewhere in either Europe or some Asian country like China or Japan.

    Hey, I was wondering if we could use the photos of the hot box and dragging equipment detector equipment on the Position Light site for use on the defect detector site. I help out with the site and think your photos, especially the ones of old HBD equipment in Amtrak towers, could make really awesome additions. Proper credit would be given, of course

    Sure thing and thanks for reaching out. I would encourage you to download and re-host the images as the current web hosting might not be stable long term. I won't niitpick how you credit me aside from linking to my blog at position-light.blogspot.com/ as that is where my value added content is. Feel free to link into various topics or pages ,like towers or specific towers.

    I operated the juice train in the early 80's for Conrail on the NEC. It's maximum authorized speed was NTE 70 mph, the same as the mail train. We were given the railroad all the way overnight until passenger trains started running again, then it was: 'take the siding.'

    I operated freight trains for Conrail in the 70's and 80's and was held at the home signal for thru-passenger (Amtrak) trains to pass before crossing over. One summer's night, the conductor and I sat eye-level with an open window and saw a couple in an apartment in the act. When they finished, I gave them several (low) toots on the horn as a sign of appreciation.

  • @PositionLight

    Although the line was electrified when built, it was still just a steam assist operation so the cut was needed for ventilation.
