Train Climbing Steep Grade With DPU Helper Pushing, Hidden Pedestrian Railroad Crossing, USA Trains!

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ต.ค. 2024
- Helper locomotive pushing heavy mixed freight up steep grade at top of hill. Listen to her climb the grade! There is a hidden pedestrian railroad crossing at the top of the grade that has been here since the 1940s. I caught a heavy mixed freight with steel coils and distributed power unit on the rear. Then a long double stack intermodal drops down the hill under me. This is an awesome hidden location that not many railfans know about. Homes and businesses are on both sides of the tracks and the pedestrian crossing is hidden in the trees. This is the Norfolk Southern main line from Chattanooga, Tennessee to Cincinnati, Ohio known as The Rathole Line. The city of Cincinnati owns it and the main road channel is 160.950 and end of train devices use 452.940. I filmed this on October 14, 2020. Thanks for watching!
Please thumbs up and watch another JawTooth video to help my channel.

Right off I-75 . I drive I-75 from Detroit to Florida every year . Looks like a great place to stop by for a bit . 😜 Thanks for the great video as always ! Just checked the map , exit 186 just north of Florence , y'all !
A while back I told you about my five-year-old granddaughter waving goodby as you do at the end of your videos, now she runs around saying "But wait there's more"! 😒
Jaw Tooth has a 5 yo Goupie. LOL.
@@markfryer9880 best thing ever for a grandpa! LOL
The wave rubs off now lol
Lol, that’s awesome!
@@stevenV57 Well as my 85 y.o Dad is finding out with my 4 y.o. Niece, he needs to be on the top of his game to keep up with her.
Great video Jawtooth, really enjoyed it. Keep them coming!!
Thanks Ron!
STOBE slept in some of those coils like that and they were still warm coming out of the plant.
Dynamo Joe-I miss Stobe and his video's.He really was an 'American Original'
WOW! A train load of duct tape! 😂
Chris Hauser 😂😂😂
That is some super strong duct tape. How would you tear a piece off of the roll? ( LOL )
Did you notice the coil that was wobbling ?
@Chris Hauser lol
MashaAllah, very nice bro
I'm Indian TH-camr
The steelcoils in the first set are 22-27 metric tons each ( 22000-27000 kgs ) ! Some of the wagons had five ( ! ) of them onboard . Thats a heavy load !
Olle I'm wondering why they didn't have the cover shells on?
Thanks for mentioning the steel coils. I was wondering what the first train was pulling.
They usually cover them in some kind of petroleum shield , very thin though . Could be paraffine or something similar .
Thank you Jaw Tooth for finding this hidden bridge for your location. Hard work uphill for the coil train, cautious brakes on for the intermodal. Great filming and fall colors.
Thank Olle...
Those steelcoils were serious business...
But 27 metric tons each...
An amazing mass of metal...
you can build ocean going ships with that sort of stuff.
Heavy is the word.
Awesome video and I like how you keep finding new areas to film. Keep up the good work and be safe out there 👍
Something tells me those weren't cinnamon rolls on that southbound train - some serious grunt coming from those engines!
Nice catches. I like that location.It has a nice point of view (literally). The trees have a nice color to them also. Thumbs up and thanks for sharing.
Beautiful Fall Colors, LIVE ACTION and a Hidden Pedestrian Bridge! Doesn't get any better than this, folks!!!
But wait there’s more........LIVE ACTION!!!!
Like 420 beautiful video! Greetings 📽️🔝🚂👍🙋♂️
I used to roll coiled steel. Nice pics, memories.
Hey, JT that was an amazing video! Thank you for posting. See you next time. Edward
A lot of rolled steel on that first train ..these boys really are hauling the freight.
Beautiful day .. lovely foliage ..serious freight.
This is still America doing business.
Awesome.
Someone somewhere is shipping sorting and despatching all these goods ... This is what makes the world go round
Those double decker containers made up a seriously business like train.
Wooha!
Man they are amazing...
Great Video Jawtooth.
You find the most amazing trains at work.
Railfan Vlogging at its best.
Thanks for feeding the need to enjoys these big trains hauling the freight...and working the lines.
Coool
When did the railroads start shipping coil steel on uncovered flat cars?
I used to for a steel processing company and any coils that showed up with the slightest trace of rust was rejected
Excellent video after a long an stressful day this helped me to relax. Thankyou 👍👍
NS freight train crescent kentucky awesome video jaw tooth bless you friend stay safe keep it coming new videos during the holidays coming up
Good job Mr. Jaw Tooth, another great video. Them pony's was a digging on that first train.
Love the view with the beginning of fall colors,this is a great spot to view trains,bring a chair and sandwich and sit by and enjoy the action!! This view is so pretty it looks a little like a toy train set,wow! That second loco was a bit of a screacher sound,thus freight is HUGH !! Jaw tooth when you say wait there's more,your not kidding!!has anyone been able to keep count of this train? I got lost after fifty?!! Awesome as always jaw tooth, thanks the thumbs up!!!
Thanks for sharing this. What an awesome location. Those steel coils on that first train - my buddy used to tell me they were "heavy metal bands", because I play guitar but am not particularly fond of heavy metal style music. Great memory!
Once again outstanding job now the second train real replacement cars two sections of the Train on the 2nd train take care and be safe you and your son job well done I give you an A+
dang heavy train !
Nice to see your autumn (=fall) colour as well as the trains. I wonder about the last stack track with all those empty flats and the loaded containers on the rear. If this was rendered in model RR terms, it would be prone to 'string-lining'. Is the same problem not translated to full size railroading?
Great video Jawtooth! I can never get enough of the Rat Hole line, it runs through Somerset Ky. Not far from where I live.
I give you a thumbs up before we watch. We already know that your videos are great and so are you!!!
Did you get a good whiff of the brakes from that down hill train? It must have smelled real nice. ( LOL )
Each of those steel rolls can weigh 10,000 pounds, so the loaded car could weigh > 40,000 pounds! No wonder they needed a helper unit to push up the hill.
What a thumbnail and what a video! Another great one from the night Jaw Tooth!!!
Very awesome Jaw. You can really tell when they are on those grades with the sounds of the engines pulling a lot of cars.
I like your videos very much. You always tell your location. I love your dog too. I like the still shots of the engines at the end of the video.
Jaw Tooth, you have the Best Videos!! No matter the weather, you're there! You are so Cool!!
I live local , near Anderson road and Buttermilk pike
Just think of how many 18-wheelers would have been needed to carry that load of steel coils, as trucks would have been restricted to just one coil each because of the weight per coil.
Yeah, those coils weigh probably 55,000 to 60,000 pounds each. Add the truck weight and you might have to leave a tool box behind and some clothes. 😉👍
The iron horse is the best!
Great video loved the steel coils and those ponys were just working on that steep grade
That was cool seeing a bunch of spine cars from that view! Nice trains son!!
Good to see that much steel on its way for manufacturing. That kind of grade was that?
Good video jawtooth always good content thnx jawtooth
A Lot of Empty Tables on the Container Train. They have to be sent where they’re needed. 👍
The cars with the steel coils look like something Lionel would have made
Last time I was there, we shot Southern GP30s and GP35s on the southbound "spark plug."
About the hottest train on SR ry.
1976.
Sparkplug was a Detroit(B&O) to Atlanta auto-parts train. I have some literature from the 1940s and the train was listed back then.
The train does not run anymore, for one thing both Ford and GM have closed their plants in Atlanta.
These 2 plants at one time made the Ford Taurus, and the GM Lumina(dust-buster vans).
On that last train, at first I thought the ONE container at the front was actually the only one on the train. Almost truly meant ONE.
Neat location, were those intermodal cars at the beginning being used to move those steel coil rolls?
Maybe first time I see cool cars no cover ☕☕☕☕☕😵
Uncovered steel coil cars don't think I've ever seen them
Chessie the wonder dog!
I liked the sound effects too. 😆
Super video!
🚂 Wow - I-75 goes right by my train room and then onto the Mackinac Bridge 😎 Looks like a lot of steel to make cars in the USA 🚘 Oh no more stuff from China in the shipping containers. Cool video 👍
Thanks Gary! I think the steel came from Middletown Ohio
How come they have only freight trains on the rathole line?
I like those type of railfanning spots
On the third train at first it looked like it was gonna be all empties.
What a great video and location. You are the master
is there also a railway station for forensics Brian?
That was a lot of rolled steel. Any idea where it was giing?
That’s a really cool spot to hang out at and see trains going by!
Good evening brain jaw tooth
Is that off the Buttermilk Pike exit?
I love this overlook Jaw tooth!
OUTSTANDING WORK JT !!!
Awesome video jawtooth.
this is awesome thanks JT , we have simular bridge like that in Forest Park in St Louis Mo, it was the old Wabash/N W line and it went thru the Park now its the Metro Link. I love this thanks sir :-)
Where were all the steel coils heading?
Great video keep up the great work
Keep Jaw'n Jaw Tooth!
Some NS GE locomotives
Very interesting video. On double track sections is it left or right hand running in USA?
Hi Gerry, I asked about this last week and got a useful reply: left hand and right hand running can depend on the source of investment to build the line (eg LH for British funded), while others can switch sides or even try dual running (which I’d find terrifying) from time to time.
😊👍👍👍👍👍
Love the fall colors
Excellent video!!!
That was a short one there!
Great Norfolk southern railroad train action videos
Thank you very much!
Nice spot.
Nice location. Just south of Ludlow, where I went earlier this month.
coil train
Great catch
Great train video, and pretty foliage..Good Job JT
Jaw tooth Great job on your TH-cam videos and keep it up.
Anyone know what those racks in the middle of 2nd train are for ?
If you're talking about the yellow racks, those are for hauling replacement rail sections.
They are for hauling intermodal trailers I've seen it in other videos
Bonus train was awesome keep em coming!
Thanks! Will do!
Fine location, JT. You’re a pro at shooting through chain link fencing! I wonder why they run left-handed. Some serious intermodal traffic.
Yes indeed - listen to that sound of power!! Very nice location!
Post a picture of all your dogs
Two Union Pacific engines snuck by on that third train. Pretty cool.
And another off the beaten path location. Outstanding video as usual.
That's an almost perfect spot for getting videos, and the chain link fencing has the perfect sized openings to allow the right size lenses without interference with the images. It also protects the engines from overhead vandalism. The only problem I noticed, is no side views up close, but hey, most ground level vid's can't show any overhead info.
1 to10 rating of 9.9 !
P.S.: I do N scale, and your shots of the steel coils gave me an idea to use 55 gal. H O barrels painted silver, with the barrel bands painted black, for banding. Thanks for giving me the idea! I'll have to send you an attaboy, instead of cash, because my Christmas shopping is using my spare cash this month.
Interestingly, those types of pedestrian bridges are very common over here in the UK, perhaps being a much smaller country we have much less room for over- and under-passes. I guess too that you guys in the US of A drive your cars/trucks more often, so have less need for such bridges.
You sure found a good spot there JT !! 😎👍👍
Hey JT!
Yet another awesome video, you never cease to amaze.👍
That second train with containers, I thought it was strange to have those empty/light cars in the middle, but I guess it works.
Awesome catches! First train was NS 375, second was NS 216 and not sure what the third was.
What kind of dog is Chessie?
Half Blue Healer and half Beagle
You got lucky and caught the pusher and a PIG train! looks like the old steel train from Sharonville that stops in Danville. That grade is insane i remember stalling out on that and having fun with dispatch for a few hours over that one HAHA. Glad you are able to get a 2 for 1 on this one JT
Ah but wait there's more.
Yes!
I remember the train stopping at the little store in Preston and the crew eating dinner on the store porch. I loved it when they'd start to pull out. You could feel the ground shake 15 ft away
Thumbs up for sure. Nice catch. Chessie's coat looks like rail ballast!
Good morning from St John Parish, Louisiana 22 Oct 20.
I see your subs are going up. I think the reason is the content and quality are great.
gases and liquid storage containers maybe ??
Jaw tooth I love your TH-cam videos because I just love trains and the trains engine because I wave to them and they wave back to me.
Awesome!
Nice Coverage.
