- RJC 4119 shoves up to Frito Lay in Wooster Ohio. RJC 4119 works on the "Cleveland Lines" Wooster branch. This line was part of the B&O Millersburg branch running south from Lodi to Millersburg Ohio. Abandonment began in 1928. Lodi to Wooster remained til the 1970's. After that the B&O reached the isolated Wooster segment via running over the PRR Penn Central by then). They would get on at Massillon as RJ Corman does now since Corman has both B&O lines, taken over from CSX in the 1990's. Oddly CSX kept access to the National Lime and Stone unload at the south end of town which they serve by running trains from Spore Quarry NW of Bucyrus over the FTW line.
RJ Corman appears to serve 3 customers on this segment: Frito Lay with vegetable oil tanks and hoppers of ingredients, a transload that appears to handle plastic pellets and a scrap yard. After working Frito Lay they shove across US RT30 which is lights and gates on a 4 lane highway. Sorry about the lack of audio.

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.
A train track through a highway is 100% something I'd do in Cities: Skylines
I have driven this road countless times in the last 50 years, and have only been stopped once, fortunately.
I'm from Mansfield and as many times I have driven on that part of US 30 I never had to stop for a train there. Odd place to have a railroad crossing.
@@douglasburskey6411What makes it odd?
Its rare to see a rail road crossing over a 4 lane highway.@@rajnikantsharma
@@douglasburskey6411 Ah, ok. We have one here in Chesterfield county VA, at an intersection of two four-lane highways and I believe there are many such crossings in the state. But that does not mean they are common elsewhere.
Great ending with the 2 boys! Love it, Great video.
Excellent drone work as usual.
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
This is amazing. I did not know you could run railroad tracks across a freeway/highway..And now I know how trains drop off and pick up cars to factories. Beautiful views. And Happy to the little guys❤
When I-94 was first built, there were single set of tracks running north/south just east of Albion MI. There was only one train a week on Sunday, really backed the interstate up
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.
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.
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.
Those drone shots are just unbelievable! Great video.....keep 'em coming from high up.
Thanks for posting, great to watch.
Thank you for sharing. Nice.👍
Hi from the UK. Thanks for sharing. Really useful as a modeller seeing how they do things for real. Lee
Simply perfect and beautiful. Greetings from Argentina.
Another excellent video!! Thanks, Scott!!!
Neat. I remember a delay in block production video about this stretch of line. Nice someone finally did a good quality video of it.
Excellent aerial shots.
Very nice job of recording 2024 trains at work. It was like I was there. Keep up the good work.
Been there hundreds of times but never had to stop for a train.
Ohio born now living in Florida. I always love seeing videos from back home.
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
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.
Thank you boys❤
Thanks for posting. Been that way a few times and wondered about that crossing there. :-)
Enjoyed the video
Fantastic watching the locomotive and consist cross in the highway. 10:18
Great work there Scott, nice drone captures! (Dave).
Great well done Scott!
Great work Scott. Appreciate all your videos, one Stark County Ohio native here!!😅
Another cool video Scott. Keep them coming.
excelent as always 👏👏👏👏👏
I think this is the line we drove over on our way to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.
Fantastic video!!!
Excellent !
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
So much power in that loco!
Awesome video
What a dangerous crossing! And engines pushing scare me. They create an instability moment in the cars that can cause derailment, that pulling avoids!
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.
Why doesn't the crossing have any barriers or any repeater lights further away from the crossing?
It should but ya know $$$$$
Actually that crossing is an exempted crossing due to the infrequent use of it. Signage on US 30 clearly states that.
@@phillipbowman2400 How do drivers using that road know if a train is about to cross? If the train starts to cross and a vehicle is approaching the crossing at whatever the speed limit is on that road, there's the risk of them colliding with the train
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 ?
@@leeroberts1192they send the conductor out with a flag
Awesome 👍🏻
So that's how the orange die gets delivered
😐 and the crunchy cheese...
9:24 that’s the road where I get TO WAYNE COUNTY SPEEDWAY!!
The Lodi-Wooster branch was washed out in the flood of 1969 I believe, and never rebuilt.
Where are all the workers in that place?
Looks like a large model railroad.
Is the locomotive an ICG Paducah rebuilt unit?
Now that's what I call a level crossing! Who needs overpasses?
Where is this
Great shots. But the audio overlayed is intrusive. Actual audio or MUCH lower sound FX.
That engine looks ancient
no horn no bell ? in an Industrial area?
Nice vid. I live in Wapak but my wife is from Woo. I recognized it right away! I had to show this to her.
I was wondering why the signals didn't activate?
I think they do, but people don’t always pay attention. Not sure it’s a requirement either.
I seem to remember a similar situation in central California on the state route 99 freeway, many years ago. Can anybody confirm?
Parece un video juego de simulador de trenes 😅

Was that a gp20? Awesome video.🙏
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.
Was the train carrying corn and cooking oil?
8:28 for the freeway part
Boy, the conductor takes his life in his hands there stepping out onto a four-lane highway armed with just a flag!
Exactly highly dangerous !
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?
The track is there. They just typically put as much of the pavement thru it as possible.
@@theOlLineRebel Thank you.
@@cak813 You're welcome. That would just be typical of some highway grade crossings. They absolutely have to have track.
Great video. One correction though. US 30 is not a freeway where the train track crosses.
It most certainly does cross US 30, you see it right there in the video.
@@jasonarnold6395I didn't say anything about it not crossing US 30. It obviously crosses US 30. 😂
I am not sure US 30 is a freeway there though. There isn't much of US 30 that is a freeway in Ohio.
A freeway, by definition, is: “An express highway, especially one with controlled access.”
With the exception of east of Canton to the Pennsylvania state line, all of US 30 in Ohio is controlled access, so yeah, it is a freeway.
@@jasonarnold6395 So all of those intersection across 30 mean nothing. You are an idiot.
Most of US 30 across Ohio is not a freeway, but act like you did something there. 😂
@@jasonarnold6395 Controlled access would mean only having ramps to get on and off the freeway. There are many intersections across 30 all across Ohio, meaning not controlled access, meaning not a freeway.
Most of US 30 across Ohio is not freeway, but you sound so confident in your ignorance so keep doing you. 😂 🤡
Look at the intersection of US 30 and Fry Road west of Wooster, or US 30 and S. Smyser Road a little west of that, or US 30 and S..Jefferson Road a little west of that... Should I keep going? 😂 There are a bunch of actual intersections on US 30 all across Ohio. Meaning not controlled access. Meaning not a freeway. 😂
Some parts of US 30 are freeway in Ohio..Most of it is not. Most certainly a lot more of it is not then just the section from Canto to the Pennsylvania state line. 😂
Crazy how not only does RJ Corman cross Route 30 but on Route 30 it says "Exempt Crossing". What a strange situation
well this exempts bus and trucks carry hazardous/flammable materials from stopping on a busy road.
@@GrandTrunkiddo oh ok. That makes sense
Did tge signals activate? I zoomed in and it did not look like it.
Correction: Did the signals activate?
They activated. I can see them flashing.
Looks like they turn red at 8:54
Great video! Railfans see many things but, a RR Crossing on a FWY with NO crossing arms ONLY Lights is Not 1 of them.Makes wonder,
"What are They Thinking"?
Doe this happen anywhere else in the world?
I know it does all over America .
Fritos, Cheetos or Doritos....... America Gots have them chips!
Crossing with 4-lane freeway without barriers? It's a joke. 😮
Doesn't even have gates at the signal! ODOT SUCKS
How absurd!
Nice and dangerous
Drone views are fantastic! Wish it were lower to showhen the mee-mool lights *(o)T(o)* started operating. Stupid to wasteveryone's time by stopping the train and flagman getting off and walking across and stopping the train again so flagman can get on.
Its in the rule book and listed in operations bulletins.
@@rc391995 Yes.till stupid to wasteveryone's time and back up traffic even more than just continuing and clearing the grade crossing much sooner.
That road should be a bridge. Also those cars running the red flashing lights should all be fined and have points on their licence.
"Shoves across?" with signal lights and a conductor with a stop sign cross ahead? I crossed a crosswalk with the signal lights giving me the right of way the other day, but I just shoved my way across, I'm an asshole.
ODOT too cheap to build an overpass.
Stupid arrangement. Freeway traffic should not have to stop for a railroad.
Any plans on returning to film ND&W?
