The center bridge support, constructed of I-Beams, is acting as a fulcrum and allowing the bridge ends to move up and down. The concrete bridge abutments have settled by a few inches but the steel center support has not settled, resulting in the bridge's weight being transferred from one end to the other as a train moves over it. This could be remedied by inserting steel shims under the bridge beams where they rest on the concrete abutments.
Those "I-beams" are actually H-beams and in this application are referred to as "steel pilings." The longitudinal girders resting on the pier and the abutments are actual I-beams.
@@rael5469 Without being there to see it, I can't comment. From the video, I didn't see anything all that alarming. I'm sure the railroad's maintenance of way department is aware of it, is monitoring it and will do whatever is necessary if they feel it becomes a threat to operations or safety.
@@ckuehncnwhsyt The term WF (wide flange) beams has been used to designate all major beams since I entered the field in 1976, noted on drawings as "W". I've drawn thousands of them and are still designated as W. As you pointed out, H shapes are used as piles because of their square section. When I entered structural design, the AISC was already phasing out the "I" designation. I think it was replaced by the "S", but not sure as I've never used it. We had W, HP, S, M, C, WT, ST, MT, and TS along with the minor shapes. TS (tube steel) has been changed to HSS.
Lots of comments about the bridge "should" be reported, with no follow up if anyone actually did. So I contacted NS and forwarded the video to them. I know nothing about bridge stability and design, but I have never seen a bridge bounce like this. So if anyone actually did get an answer as to if this is the norm, let us all know. The train was moving, and so was the bridge. Great video! I was backing up watching it! 🙂
It took a few days, but Norfolk Southern reviewed JT's video and said they were sending a team to look at the bridge. It would be interesting to see what the follow up is (if anyone's close.)
@@clee47ford That's not a derailment waiting to happen. How did you come up with that? Yes, it needs a little attention but it isn't anything that would cause a derailment. What is your track or bridge experience? There's nothing worse than someone saying something about things they know nothing about.
@@coldblue9mm I've seen quite a few derailments, and I've got a hell of a lot of experience with structural steel and failure analysis. Ever heard of material fatigue? Are you assuming this has reached a static degradation point, and will not worsen? The only thing holding this span in place seems to be the rails themselves, and the center span, which can act not only as a fulcrum, as demonstrated in this video, but also as a pivot point, as the ends of the span do not appear to be mechanically connected to anything. To me, that's the definition of an accident waiting to happen.
Retired from a railway career which included civil engineering, that bridge needs attention sooner rather than later (bearings at either require packing as a minimum). From watching the first video I probably wouldn't be standing that close! 🤨 Thank you for another excellent video! 🙂
Wow, I did not even notice that until now! I was just focused on getting a good video of the train crossing it. I saw all the comments coming in about it bouncing after the video was up a couple of hours so I changed the title. I have never seen that before. Thanks for noticing!
@@johnbroughton3401 Bc upper management wants to save money for themselves and shareholders rather than invest those “record profits” into their infrastructure.
The bridge main beam is teeter tottering on the middle support! Looks like the engineers need to put some spacer plates under both ends and weld them into place. Excellent catch jawtooth!

Great good video, mr Jaw Tooth. The people in Ohio know you they passing a railroadcrossing and see: hey there stay mr JT. But make more of these video's 👌 maestro. See the soft sunlight on the trains. Very good done mister JT.👍☀️. Greet from Zandvoort the Netherlands.🇾🇪🇺🇸
The bridge didn’t seem to move as much when the second train passed over it. I know nothing of train bridges to know if that movement is an issue. I would have called it in simp,y because I don’t know, however, I would have kept distance because just seeing it made me nervous! Great catches this video. Thanks, Jaw Tooth.
I love the cinematics ... Live action ... on tape ! Based on a true story !! Real people - No actors !!! Filmed in 1080p or 4K !!!! All filmed on location !!!!! So, keep that video going, Son
That bridge reminds me of my uncles dairy farm when I was a kid in the Snowy Mountains, Australia. We were sitting on the bridge fishing. We hear Uncle Clarry yell "bullchase" to the dogs, and look up and see the huge bull roaring down from the top paddock, and he wants to cross the bridge to get to the cows in the top paddock on the other side. We jump in the creek, the bull hits the bridge full speed with a cattle dog swinging on it's tail, and the old wooden bridge starts bouncing like a trampoline. One of the most amazing things I've seen to this day. Glad I was sitting in the creek with the trout that I didn't catch.
MOW may not know that. Rail traffic is supposed to not be in the area of a crew, and a hi-rail truck might not be heavy enough to see it, IF there was someone trackside to observe.
That was fantastic! Old bridges are just cool. Had to repair a similar situation on a bridge located on I-75 North of Atlanta. Had to jack it almost 4” while under traffic to replace bearings and plates. These videos are absolutely amazing. Thanks again Jawtooth.
WHOA.....that bridge is NOT supposed to move that much. It could shift along the center support and derail a train. Might be worth a call to the railroad.
Pffft The bridge is fine. The railroad people are busy enough without wierdos like you ringing up complaining about a perfectly good bridge that you have no clue about.
@@eaxnitro This is Mr Jaw Tooth's channel where we all come to have fun. Please keep it civil. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.
I liked those old concrete blocks and where they were placed. I can figure out how many days until the solstice or equinox. I'll know when to plant and when to harvest my tortilla plants here on El RobPatio. Shouldn't you be wearing your flannel Hawaiian shirts right about now? Sure, it's sunny at the moment, but you could get a lake effect snow storm in minutes without warning. Great location. Nice captures. RT sends, Puebla, México...
Great 👍 videos today JT ! You got a horn salute from my favorite UP line with a neat NF dpi going over a neat little bridge in Ohio that was awesome ! 👍😎🤩👨✈️🌞👍🤠🎩
Chelsie reading or was reading Train and Railroad magazines!!! 😄 🤣 LoL! I like it you see doing something different in every video. I know that's why you're the best!
Pretty cool to see the bridge move, closer to the train makes it easier to count the number of flat spots great video keep up the good work God bless from GA and stay safe
And that's one of the best bridges in the area. Passenger's and train crew get the feeling of riding on a roller coaster crossing that bridge. WHEEEEEE.
Great video Jawtooth! It's amazing how much some train bridges move, sometimes I cant believe that there's not more derailment's than we already have, it's amazing trains stay on the tracks well as they do! Thanks for the great video!
Ohio is a fantastic place...I live in the UK and my sister in law lives just outside Cleveland...have managed a few visits over the years and I'm amazed at the size and length if the freight trains.... especially up in Sandusky...my favourite place to visit is Put in Bay...no trains there but a great place to visit...I could easily spend my holiday train spotting in Ohio...the lifting bridges at the Flats are an amazing piece of engineering...👍👍
@@chadhelms4907 not at all...been blown up once..ambushed twice and I'm still here...anyday I'm above ground drawing breath is a good day...have been there done it...had enough excitement in life that most people only dream of and now I'm chilling and enjoying life...I still ride a motorcycle at 70 and I like trains 👍👍
I hope they get around to looking at that bridge soon. It looks like the gravel behind the cement support on the one side has washed out causing the tie to sink. Could be trouble especially with those speeds😮
The other night out in Nebraska along, nephew and I we're hauling cattle and got running with this 1 train and we we're running about 74mph. Pretty awesome running next to a train trucking down the tracks.
Thank you for documenting these trains in Sommerville and New Miami, Ohio, Jaw Tooth! You were correct, the bridge was moving under the weight of that fast moving first Norfolk Southern train that went over the bridge. The second train gave you a nice horn salute. I enjoyed watching this video.
Reeeeeally liking your videos! Raw material of American Heartland thanks for posting!! Remember the horizon being hidden by oceans of stream. Would have been maybe 5 years of age!!

Hello JawTooth, it is so nice noticing your enthusiasm even after waiting and waiting a couple of hours. I really like that. And as others said: that bridge bouncing up and down. Thanks for the old DDoT.
I saw that bridge deck doing a little rock and roll! Interesting to see if that gets some MOW attention soon. All these trains were booking! Love the horn salute - nice to have enjoyment from the crew for a bigtime railfan :)
I believe that was the quietest train I ever heard. Almost like every one of the cars just had the wheel bearings replaced. 😊 If you ever make it to central or northern Indiana I'd like to hang out with you for a day. I bet you could teach me a lot about trains and railroading.😊
Does anyone interacts with or ride the horse He just looks so lonely. Chessie was looking at your rail fan magazine pictures.😁😁😁must feel good coming home to your nice pets. My friends cats couldn't careless when they come home or leave. I'm glad Norfie stole your heart and you decided to keep her.
Hi. Retired British Railway Engineer here. The greatest danger is from the rail joints being weakened by the flexing. Hope there are no fish-plated joints near to the abutments! Unsupported joints can cause rails to break. Some shims are needed, otherwise, it looks okay.
Holy cow, I thought rail bridges were More secure than that. It could use some work to secure it. Thanks for showing the old bridge supports and those little white pipes at each end of the bridge and what they’re used for. Entertaining and informative, thanks JT.👍🏼 Awesome horn salute too.

I agree, I'd be nervous as hell being that close. Never know how loose those spikes are holding the track.
It's not the bearings duffass , it's the bridge muffler that's worn out, that also why it's so noisy,duh!
So what was your actual position on said railroad? I don't think it was the Bridge & Building Dept. or Track. Now I'm curious.
What bearings
@@TheMainLead SWOOSH........that's the sound you hear going over the top of your head

Great bridge great location great video thanks Jaw tooth
