@@randymcneely4983 Yeah, someone put that cross there for a person who didn't know that they had just left their home for the last time, saw their spouse, pets, loved ones for the last time - it's really that way every day, we just don't think about it.
The first train is indeed very fast. Anyone standing close to the track would feel a strong air movement with the speed and height of the cars each loaded with two stacked containers. It would obviously be dangerous to get too close. Thank you for these awesome pictures!
I actually was one crossing down from where he was for the first train earlier this year and they were going about the same. I was about 20 feet away and there was a 20 degree difference when the train left due to the wind. Not even to mention the snow it was throwing from trees beside it
I’ve rode the truck trains and the intermodal for 22 year. I counted 128 cars and I’d guess the first was 70 MPH and the second very near 50 MPH. The third sure wasn’t running his allowed Speed.
Now, the second and third trains were "booking". Actually, the third train was barely "booking"; it was almost just "moving out". But, that first train was "hauling buggy". According to my railroad manual, "hauling buggy" is about 10mph faster than "booking". And "booking" is about 10mph faster than "moving out". Hope this helps.
That end of that last train disappearing around that curve looked cool. The gates coming up was frosting. Norfie is a beautiful girl. Her shiny coat is awesome. I'll grab my bass guitar and come over. lol 🎸 Thanks for taking us along again.
Years ago i lived in New Orleans East. On Lake Ponchartrain side of the levee running along Haynes Blvd is a dual rail track. Trains coming in to NOLA were generally slow, around 30mph by my estimate. Those leaving (northbound) typically go fast, probably 50-60mph, which is what I estimate these trains in your video are doing. Even more exciting was seeing the Amtrak train - i think the Southern Crescent originating from Chicago - flying down the same track coming into NOLA at 70+mph.
Jaw tooth looked like someone passed away at that crossing sometime ago....Also that NFS was at least going 70MPH.....I do not know what the hurry is on these lines sometimes but at a crossing like this which appears to be out of the city limits they should slow down. i see why people get killed at crossings like this. Great videos keep them coming.
Great video. That first train was the fastest compared to the other two. And I see a cross there also. Wonder who got killed He might have been going 60, maybe 70. Have a nice day😊🌈👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
IMO that almost looks more like a one lane road. I bet when that person died there were no signals there. Probably someone trying to "beat" the train. ✝️
intermodal trains are my favorite. past, present, and future of the rail industry right there! notice how all of those heavy intermodal trains have an EMD engine in second position behind the lead! there’s a reason for that! Real Power! start the video, son!
Single hotlines are the best. UP has a single-track line coming up through San Antonio to Austin and beyond. There's a passing block in Round Rock, just north of Austin. The speed limit through there is 60 for northbounders and they do all of it. It's cool to see a big SB holding the block while 2 or 3 NBs blaze by. They knock down that green like a hurricane. In just a few minutes it's yellow, then back to green again and you can already hear the next hurricane coming. Double tracks get all the attention but blazing single tracks are better.
I wouldn’t have the cahonees to get as close to that first train as you did! Two things I’ll never understand: how airplanes stay up in the air, and how a fast train like the first one doesn’t run off the tracks! 🤣 Thanks, Jaw Tooth.
Jaw Tooth, it's nice to see Chessie again and congratulations on your new guitar. My latest purchase was a Gearwrench 243 piece, six-point, Mechanic’s tool set since I have an interest in doing my own work to my '12 Chrysler 200 Touring convertible. I noticed that you have a vehicle in the same "family", a Ram 1500 pickup. I hope it's been a good vehicle for you. I know I like my convertible a lot.
Cool, thanks! I have never had any problems with my Ram. It has over a 100K miles on it. The only thing is that I noticed some rust forming along the bottom
Hi JawTooth....I was going to say 45 to 50 mph. My names Rich and I've been a rail fan since about 4 yrs.old. I work for an independent Lumber yard in Ballston Spa NY....Curtis Lumber. We have our own rail siding, and get a lot of material by rail. One morning, I was coming in, and the southbound oiltrsin sounded funny, but I wasn't at my desk yet. But it was clear on the next train that something was wrong, so I called Canadian Oacific, and they had a crew out to our switch within a half an hour. I went out to tell them where the strange pounding and clanking was coming from, and they informed me that the switch frog WAS BROKEN!!! the crew was there for the next 4 hrs rewelding and repairing, but Thank God that oil train didn't jump the tracks....we'd be fried chicken....that maim line is only about 150 yes away from our office window!! That's how I was able to hear the problem. I'm still looking to get a head end ride!!!
Surprised that NS were not using some power as mid-train and or EOT DPU power. Rail experts estimate a 16 to 17 percent fuel savings using distributed power configurations not to mention it's a lot easier on the equipment . In any case , I sure do enjoy them fast & loud . Keep up the good work .
Walton, KY is a good place to catch train traffic. Two class one RR’s pass through there. In some places less than 100 feet apart. It’s a nice town as well.
I can't get over how fast the NS is pulling those double stackets. Wow!Kentucky have long trains and my fav. NS pulling ❤😊😊 Norfie your cat is so sweet. Love your fur babies. This was a great video. Enjoyed thanks. ❤😊
Very entertaining video, JT. First train fastest, going at least 60 mph I’d guess. Nice to see Norfie eating real cat food! More nutritious than bologna. What’s your new axe, a PRS? An ESP? Propped up on a Marshall no less. Next video, you MUST play a few licks - even if it’s a simple riff like the one from “Mystery Train.” Stop teasing your fans. Do some shredding 😂
That train was easing on down the curve! I bet that all those truck containers were loaded with cargo. That first train was so extremely fast that I could not get the number on the first locomotive. That train was probably booking at 60 miles per hour. The second train rolled approximately 54 miles per hour. Those trains were cruising on the curves. I enjoy the way you record these fast trains running. You picked the swell spot to record those motion pictures!
Those wagons are pretty close to the ground!!! And look at that Gradient, gesshhh. Nice Guitar with Cheesie and Norfie sharing the food lol lol, Ole Norfie getting big now, you can tell they love their food when you get close to them and they just keep eating.......
Train was so fast it was making Bigfoot noises at one point, lol. Makes me wonder if it was running empty? Another great vid, JT - Happy Spring Equinox!
What a great video! All 3 of those trains were in a big fat hurry!! And that house in the back ground - if I were there, I would have taken about 15 dozen pictures from every possible angle. I was able to catch the sign that said Abner Gaines House. I will be looking that up shortly! Have a good one!
There is a metallic ping sound made by the train at about 1:18. I play Derail Valley, and that sound is very similar to the derailment sound in the game. It kinda confused me when I heard it, because this is not Derail Valley, and the train did not go careening out of control after that sound.
One thing I've noticed on the faster intermodal cars is the truck arrangement. Most cars have one load carrier, be it a tank, boxcar or other, and supporting it is two trucks with four axles. The intermodals, however, are different. They have three carriers, one truck/two axles on the ends but in the center are shared trucks with just four axles. The railroad has eliminated four axles per three car unit and that must reduce rolling friction. Anyone know what this is called?
The internodals are carrying about half the weight. Those grain/rock/coal cars are around 220,000 lbs each vs the internodal car and 2 of the 53' containers at 50,000 lbs each (so maybe 130,000 lbs per car unit). Extra axles are overkill on all fronts and a needless expense.
The first train was the fastest one IMO. It was going so fast I had to check my TH-cam speed setting haha. I'm wondering if those containers were empty to be running that fast with no DPUs
I use to travel on those tracks and yes we booked through there but I can tell you the maximum speed limit on the NS line in Cincinnati is 60mph. Amtrak are the only ones who are permitted to go 70mph as their maximum speed. And with the Positive Train Control (PTC) on all NS locomotives, trains can not exceed those speed limits because the PTC will slow your train down automatically.
Also I can tell you that these trains, if they're going southbound, Cincinnati terminal will take them to Danville, KY and then change crews. These are called road trains. Some trains will have cars that will get dropped off or picked up in Georgetown, KY and then continue on their journey. If they're northbound, they're coming from Danville, KY headed to Cincinnati where they will change crews as well.
Been watching your videos a long time and had no idea you were a guitar player. I’m from Middletown been playing the scene my whole life lead guitar. No surprise a train guy plays guitar. I’ve always seen the similarities of guitar players liking trains and comic books, science fiction.
Nice video Jawtooth that first one was probably traveling around 60-65 mph at most because of the way it came flying around that curve. 2nd one I'd say was probably around 40-50 mph maybe 55mph. But the 3rd one was probably going 45mph maybe pushing 50. Not sure but they all seemed to be going pretty fast
Well I can tell you which one squeaks the most. Sounds like a haunted train. I don't think I've heard some of those noises B4. Congratulations on your new 🎸.
We grew up on that street back in the 80s, back then all I remember we're very long Southern coal trains. Living down at the dead end of that street the school bus wouldn't drive down to pick us up, we had to walk over those tracks to catch our bus. Those trains caused us to miss our bus more time than I can remember.
@@donaldstanfield8862 Walton Verona elementary wasn't in walking distance, the bus would take the highway to get there. Our mom either took us or we just didn't go
Coal trains on this part of the Southern or NS were a rarity from my recollection. The L&N now CSX, used to have regular coal trains to Carrollton though.
@@JawTooth I'm 72. Retired journalist. Grew up in medina ohio 2 blocks from the tracks. So every night I heard the sound of the train. It was my lullaby. In the day I'd run to the tracks whenever I heard an approaching train and watch it go by and wait for the caboose. That's when one of the workers would wave back at me! Such good memories. Back then, it was the A C and Y. Akron Canton Youngstown.
In medina near the a.i. root company there were a set of tracks that carried beeswax candlewax etc on track that went south over a stone and wood bridge. Were talking huge stones. Running diagonally underneath it was a second set of tracks from ac and y. As kids we would stand on 5he track on the bridge and watch 5he ac and y go past under our feet I wonder if any of it exists today.
Fast trains are very cool! It would be a blast to ride in any of these :) That third train looked long enough - I was sure there would be a DPU. I see Norfie always has a good appetite :)
Amazing superelevation on that first curve! Quite a HotShot! Here's my speed estimate: 76' well-car length x 127 cars = 9652 ft 9652 ft * 1 mile / 5280 ft = 1.8280 miles 117 sec * 1 hr / 3600 sec = 0.0325 hour 1.8280 miles / 0.0325 hour ~ 56 mph
First train's doing about 50mph; second about 40mph; third in the high 30s. Based on the time it took the locomotives to come through the crossing for the first two, and to pass the end of the fenced-off compound in the third.
Thanks for the videos, great as always!! Definately the third train was the slowest. Maybe due to the curve and it looks pitched to the opposite side of where you were filming. If you could find the time table for that area, you may be able to get the track speed and if there’s a restriction for speed.
Seeing the cross in the ditch, then seeing how fast that train comes around the corner - 0:36 - makes one think...
Never race a train. Just plan on stopping: you will seldom win.
I live in Northern Kentucky..it’s there for a reason
..and it's a terrifying warning, but if one's heart is "ready", a beautiful and comforting thought.
@@randymcneely4983 Yeah, someone put that cross there for a person who didn't know that they had just left their home for the last time, saw their spouse, pets, loved ones for the last time - it's really that way every day, we just don't think about it.
One of the largest number of “But wait, there’s more!” that I’ve seen in a video yet!
It’s a value-loaded video, son!
LOL

First train was 127 intermodal railcars at 8,255 ft long, passed by in 119 seconds so was booking along at 47mph.
I like your math !!!!
Speed: most likely. I’ve paced NS along the Dixie Hwy, goes through Walton. Fastest I’ve ever paced a train through there was 50 mph.
The national speed limit for the most part for freight is 55 miles per hour it doesn’t matter which railroad it is a nationally set speed limit
You get a Genius Point! Great math.
I’ve rode the truck trains and the intermodal for 22 year. I counted 128 cars and I’d guess the first was 70 MPH and the second very near 50 MPH. The third sure wasn’t running his allowed Speed.

1st train - 128 cars. I think they were mostly empty.
2nd - 80 cars
3rd - 136 and two engines
Love your cat!
thanks for watching my videos!
Nice video. Nice PRS too. Enjoy.
Thanks 👍
Yeh love those fast trains an all the sounds they make on the tracks.
Stunnning! That speed. Amplifier, again, turned up. It was like a real train passing, shuddering bookcases and all. Nearly deaf I was. Great!
Many thanks!
Excellent always

The train between New Orleans - Chicago is the City of New Orleans. The train between New Orleans - NYC is the Crescent.
Time to market the Jaw Tooth train radar gun.😁🚂
Yes, I'm surprised there isn't an app that would give at least approximate speeds, but I've never searched for it. 😁

That was a sad sight, peace to all those connected to that incident.
I’ve paced NS through that area. I’ve never caught them going over 50 mph.
Great video. That first train was the fastest compared to the other two. And I see a cross there also. Wonder who got killed He might have been going 60, maybe 70. Have a nice day😊🌈👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Long, fast trains, as good as it gets. Cool new guitar. Thanks.
Glad you like it!
Good Morning Jaw Tooth. My dad worked for the Southern RR. So I like your videos. Keep them rolling son.
Good morning! I use to live next to a Southern RR line in the early 80s
Guitars and trains! Awesome! Like the Gibson Explorer too. Love the fast trains!! They’re bookin!!
great and no flat wheels banging
Sweet guitar . Trains Mag , pets of course . Great video.
I don't know how fast they were going, but look at how perfect and solidly built the tracks are. They were made for higher speeds.
You & I have a lot in common. I Love trains and I am a musician who plays in a band!
Play that guitar for us ! Nice videos J
Thanks! Will do!
Another AWESOME video
Great timing 🛤🚄🚅🚆🚇🚈🚉🚊🚝🚞🚋
Thanks again!
Oh yeah those trains had the hammer down as we say in trucking !! That was cool, freight is moving, that’s good !! 👍
Awesome VID !! 👍👍
Thanks 👍
Beautiful. I love them all!
60, 50, 45. That’s my final answer.
Good answer!
"Rathole Line" is intriguing name, to say the least.
They called it that because of all the tunnels it use to have
Another excellent video JT!!!!

Articulated cars,usually 3 or 5 in a set. Counted as one car from coupler to coupler. So a train with 50 cars might have 150 platforms
The explanations are excellent. Thank you all😉
NS never disappoints me when it comes to fast trains....lol
Booking! Lol
Wow, they were fast! Seems like the first one was going 70. It's fun to look at the rails and see the dates. Cool guitar!
Yeah thanks!
First one was doing about 50mph, based on the time the locomotives took to pass the crossing. Does anyone even run freight trains at 70mph in the US?
Dig the PRS dude! Great guitars, never see one on my workbench.
Rock on!
That first train was really moving, love the video
Thanks for watching
That jabber on the the first car of the first NS Train 👍
The first train was the fastest one IMO. It was going so fast I had to check my TH-cam speed setting haha. I'm wondering if those containers were empty to be running that fast with no DPUs
I use to travel on those tracks and yes we booked through there but I can tell you the maximum speed limit on the NS line in Cincinnati is 60mph. Amtrak are the only ones who are permitted to go 70mph as their maximum speed. And with the Positive Train Control (PTC) on all NS locomotives, trains can not exceed those speed limits because the PTC will slow your train down automatically.
Also I can tell you that these trains, if they're going southbound, Cincinnati terminal will take them to Danville, KY and then change crews. These are called road trains. Some trains will have cars that will get dropped off or picked up in Georgetown, KY and then continue on their journey. If they're northbound, they're coming from Danville, KY headed to Cincinnati where they will change crews as well.
Excellent explanation!
Second train had a nice horn.
Yes it does!
Very nice of the cat to share with the dog.
Lol
Lots of bonus stuff here!!
Love the fast trains. Thanks.
One fully loaded centerbeam! Nice sunburst color!
Thanks!
I would estimate the speed at between 55 & 65 mph, nevertheless that train was booking, thanks J.T. for this great video on that corner!
Cool, thanks
First train was doing about 50mph, based on the time the locomotives took to pass the crossing.
Dam that first train was flying, awesome video jaw tooth.

Man JT that NS double stacker jobbie was hooking on that curve! Must have felt like an earthquake!
Yes, it felt like a sonic boom. lol
Great Catches!

But the 3rd one was probably going 45mph maybe pushing 50. Not sure but they all seemed to be going pretty fast
They were doing about 50, 40 and 37, based on timing the locomotives past stationary points.

In the day I'd run to the tracks whenever I heard an approaching train and watch it go by and wait for the caboose. That's when one of the workers would wave back at me! Such good memories. Back then, it was the A C and Y. Akron Canton Youngstown.
In medina near the a.i. root company there were a set of tracks that carried beeswax candlewax etc on track that went south over a stone and wood bridge. Were talking huge stones. Running diagonally underneath it was a second set of tracks from ac and y. As kids we would stand on 5he track on the bridge and watch 5he ac and y go past under our feet I wonder if any of it exists today.
Fast trains are very cool! It would be a blast to ride in any of these :) That third train looked long enough - I was sure there would be a DPU. I see Norfie always has a good appetite :)
They are! I rode in a boxcar on this same line. I remember dropping rocks out and watching them spark when they hit the ballast
i would like that too :)
Awesome live action..... WOOooo!
That NS was smoking
I agree!
Amazing superelevation on that first curve! Quite a HotShot!
Here's my speed estimate:
76' well-car length x 127 cars = 9652 ft
9652 ft * 1 mile / 5280 ft = 1.8280 miles
117 sec * 1 hr / 3600 sec = 0.0325 hour
1.8280 miles / 0.0325 hour ~ 56 mph
What kind is your new guitar? Looks good!!
First train's doing about 50mph; second about 40mph; third in the high 30s. Based on the time it took the locomotives to come through the crossing for the first two, and to pass the end of the fenced-off compound in the third.
Thanks for the videos, great as always!! Definately the third train was the slowest. Maybe due to the curve and it looks pitched to the opposite side of where you were filming.
If you could find the time table for that area, you may be able to get the track speed and if there’s a restriction for speed.
Good video jawtooth
