- I switch cars at the end of the day following our passenger runs at the PSTR.
Please note I am a qualified Class 1 Railway employee, do not tamper with railway equipment. This video is for entertainment purposes only. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ

Oddly satisfying hearing the air hoses separate
I could watch these types of videos all day long. Thanks!
You can say that again!
Our four year old is really into trains. I HAD to show him this video. We take him to see trains and their activities almost daily at his request.
You have GOT to check out the Fox River Trolley Museum in South Elgin, Illinois!!!!!
Didn’t have to go 50’ from the switch either! Man, this is a real comfortable railroad
Aspynn Gholson - which road do you work for?
@@jrey563 the RAIL road. I sorry. Just had to.. you probably know this one. But, I’ll share it with you anyway.
Railroad crossing. Look out for the cars! Can 6ou spell that wthOUT any “Rs”? THAT. T-H-A-T.
Man, you can actually get on and off moving equipment. We'd have had to bring him to a stop short of the joint and then start again when we're clear. Huge time waster in my mind but there it is.
At the time on the class 1 I work for (cn) yes we could get on and off. Now though it’s stopped to entrain or detrain.
What a great video! Thanks bud
awesome video. do you have zoom out version of switching operation showing switch power moving back and forth? I would like to show that to people to help them to understand how switching works.
Good footage! Direct on the caboose rock on 🤘 more of this please 🙏
I use to live by that place, Was it hard getting started ?
Does anyone have any reference videos that show how they manage whic cars to make up in whjich trains?
I confirm, 5 minutes is long. Nice pictures, but not too varied. It's a bit like TV when it bug. But it's true that the images are beautiful. At least we now know that the ballast is in good condition.
about 5 minutes looking at a knuckle. Thrilling!
Congrats at managing to sit through the whole thing, if it wasn't entertaining to me I would have clicked away. But I guess not everyone is that bright...
this look so cool
Nothing like watching the pin the whole time.
Which is the railroad? Where is it? What traffic does it have?
Nice video. Very cool!!!!
Cheers
☺😊😆
I wonder what class track is in this video... Perhaps a run through with a tie laying crew is in serious order.
That's a good question. This line is a shortline tourist railway, the line is the former London & Port Stanley Railway and was laid in the 1850's. All work on this railway is volunteer based and done by hand, the old fashioned way. The yard tracks don't get a lot of attention as they are rarely used for anything other than storage. The priority lies with the mainline, our track is comparable to most other class II railways, for jointed rail on over 100 year old road bed it isn't in too bad of shape. We've replaced many ties over the last few years, and even laid new track to further extend our run. If you are concerned with the condition of our ties you're welcome to come out and come swing a hammer with us. Elbow grease is free, and unfortunately these days there's too many people quick to criticize, but not enough to do the work. Ties aren't cheap, and money doesn't grow on trees, so we have to really think about track renewal priorities. Thanks for the question and I hope that helped clear it up.
Great idea, film while you work and collect from youtube.
This isn’t work. It’s a volunteer tourist railway. I work on the mainline as a living. No need to collect at work, I’m compensated adequately for my employment.
I miss the Cabooses
I thought you were not supposed to paint a coupler?
Love this perspective but I'm wondering what kind of locomotive this was.
It was a GE 25 Ton industrial locomotive. It belongs to Port Stanley Terminal Rail. I work for Canadian National Railway, but volunteer here on my spare time.
HunterBHolmes you guys get spare time? damn I hired on the wrong Canadian railway.
Haha, very little. During the week I can usually find a day to fit in some personal time. But other than that... waiting for the phone. You know the drill...
HunterBHolmes basically a shutter

put the cam in front of the wheel in case of another video
Without malice
Many years ago we could get on and off railroad cars. The rules have changed and the train must come to a complete stop before getting on and off. One can get fired real easy for breaking their rules. There is the correct and incorrect way of getting on and off moving rail cars. Safety is of the essence at all times. When one gets a job on any railroad they will give you student trips where you are taught right from wrong. Pay strict attention at all times.
I like video
watch the fingers
can i touch a standing train or no im not vandilising i just like feeling its structure
In order to be touching the train, you'd be trespassing which is both illegal and dangerous. I would suggest you visit a railway museum in your area if you wish to touch trains and see them close up.Thanks for the question.
ok thanks
I wouldn't suggest touching the conductor either. He might not be too pleased.
0:31 i thought the train broke 😳
🤣🤣🤣
What does the engineer say at 5:17?
“Set and centred L1” set = independent brake set/throttle off. Centre = reverser neutral. L1 = locomotive number.
Good for people that are unfamiliar I don't hate on the guy maybe he switches for a living in a freight yard
ArantiusVulpes I do switch for a living! And run mainline freight trains. I find it funny when people critique someone else’s methods and imply that they’re a poor railroader when I’m only following the operating procedures from where I work.
@@HunterBHolmes gotcha man it was a compliment not a put down:)
@@HunterBHolmes what I can tell is he's doing safe manouvers and doing them right.
Main thing don't get hurt in any way!
Agree with you and prevoius comment was a thumbs up not a look-down.
Cheers
I know its a saftey release hose , but i wish that the hoses were manually disconnected!
not with 110 lbs of air pressure you don't
WHY DON'T YOU DISCONNECT THE BRAKE HOSES MANUALLY BY FIRST SHUTTING OFF BOTH CORNER TAPS?
The way our brake hoses are designed they are meant to separate at 90 degrees. Whether under pressure or not. The tap”vale” is only closed on the end connected to the locomotive. Once the hoses separate, the brakes apply on the cars left behind.
Why don't they unhook the air hose manually.
The air hoses are pressurized. They're designed to automatically uncouple when the two parts of the hose stretch out. If someone was to unhook the air hoses manually, even after cutting off the air, the hose is still under immense pressure and will blow apart and kick back at you when you try to unhook it. There are cases when we have to do it that way but its an unnecessary risk in other situations. Thanks for your question!
Ferdinand Francis too much air pressure
A large heavy air hose to the nuts ain't much fun.
Ferdinand Francis the air hoses are pressurized and they can manually undo it
@@davejustice7464 Freight train air pressure is 95 psi and passenger trains is 110 psi. You would only try to unhook an airline one time and that hose is liable to hit you in the face. There is no joke here.
Can someone that broke their knee to be a conductor?
If you're able to safely do your duties then yes
In fact the ballast is not in good condition
The ballast is fine...
Good hogger you got there 😉
Says who? ;) hahaha
+HunterBHolmes says the hogger lol
+Andrew Poole haha... I think u had a good conductor....
+telus6429 I would agree with that
Class 4
us joint ki kya kahte hai
Knuckle coupler
UP train crew class brought me here...start date 11/6/17
Eric Glenn good luck! Best wishes and stay safe, from a fellow conductor at CN
asa Lagraha a ham kahi Ja rahe
Some conductor he is lol, why stretch the coupling when its obvious the pins fell lol
Well you see sir, I am a class one railway conductor here in Canada. And the rule is that you must stretch EVERY joint. Failing to stretch a joint is a rules violation. And I certainly don't feel like getting any demerits. It's good practice. You may not stretch joints, but I also don't like changing my ways to stay out of trouble. Do it right or don't do it at all.
that's dumber then not being allowed to get on/off moving equipment. railroading is made for the girl scouts anymore lol
At CN we are still allowed to entrain/detrain at less than 4MPH.
also standard on british railways, when coupling, known as a pull away test here, it ensures a coupler is properly mated and will not part in service.
A veteran conductor would watch both pins fall, only some class one rookie would not know that trick , you phucking tea bagging blimy mate lol
Boring!
Snore, have you herd of editing bub?
I have indeed. Have you ever heard of skipping ahead? I have plenty of edited videos for you to watch if your attention span isn't long enough to sit through this one. The wonders of the internet...!
