    The "number' of a switch is the angle of the rails crossing at the frog. It is the distance in feet from the point of frog to where the diverging rails are one foot apart. So, at a number 15 switch, the rails diverge at one foot in fifteen.
    I remember the rule of thumb is speed through a switch is roughly twice the number of the switch.

    • @Greatdome99
      @Greatdome99 24 วันที่ผ่านมา +5

      Yes, like percent grades and degrees of curvature (the amount of curve in a 100-foot arc of track), numbered turnouts are so defined for the benefit of surveyors, who can only use distance, elevation and horizontal angle deflection to locate track.

    • @heavyhauler426
      @heavyhauler426 23 วันที่ผ่านมา +3

      You can use any unit of measurement to get the angle of the switch. Meters, inches, centimeters, feet. Each one will give you the same number.
      Mathematically, it's because the units cancel. So, any unit of measurement of length works so long as you use the same one for both.

      Got to ride the new rail system in Honolulu, Oahu Hawaii a couple of weeks ago. Those crossovers are TIGHT(though with the slower speed of that operation, doesn't seem to matter much).

I’ve heard Seminole Gulf has been bringing those rock loads in to Fort Myers for the post-Hurricane Ian renovations to the Sanibel Causeway, where they will help protect against erosion. Thank you for your dedication to keeping Florida’s railroad history alive.

You absolutely do a terrific job on your 🎥 you know how to MIX things up to keep one interested , not the same old standing at a crossing and counting a two hundred car train go by. Now counting cars is ok but does tire one out and loose interest. Big boy Dave in western Pennsylvania also does a splendid job too, not the same old same old.

      @@nicktynan1355 I have a friend in his 40s who left a job in IT to go to work for a large railroad in training to become a conductor. He had about 8 or 9 months in and nearly completed with the training when he quit and went back to IT management. Besides the long hours, no fixed schedule, being called up in the middle of his day off, the job was also a very physically demanding job with substantial periods of time outside in all kinds of weather.
      When he took the job I was surprise as I knew all that from watching videos on YT. I was actually surprised that he made it as long as he did.

For those of us who are not familiar with Florida railroading, but follow your channel, we see all these wonderful viewing sites from track side but have no concept of distance to some of these places and the drone shots allow us to see that many of these locations are really not that far from each other. It really helps in comprehending and understanding what we are seeing (and wishing we had some of these great viewing vantages). Thank you!

    7:50 The cars which only have vertical ribs (UP and GATX boxes) are Trinity cars. The ones with vertical and horizontal (Waffle) ribs are Greenbrier. And if it's a TBOX with tapered ribs, that's a National Steel Car car (no that's not a typo).
    I think some of the older hi-cube boxes with only vertical ribs are Gunderson cars, but it's hard to keep up with company mergers.

    I retired to southwest Fl 11 years ago, no real train watching close by and no more rail fan friends. Thank you for all of your work. The vids you produce are like being there without the wait. Love all of the operating information too!

    The wide angle drone shots were just outstanding Danny. It really showed the switches in operation. Nice job.

    Another superb, educational video, Danny. Thank you !
    And fantastic drone work. I love seeing you , operating, on the ground.
    I was in Kingston NY yesterday at a auto parts store and was greeted by a CSX IM train, with 2 locos on the head end.
    Only about 300' from the store. I could not suppress my joy !!!
    Thanx again sir, you are the best !!!

    Engineer from Italy here. I don't know exactly how turnouts are designated here, but after a quick look it seems there's different parameters, including radius of curvature and tangent. Although rare, we have a few 1200 meter (0.75 mi) radius turnouts allowing speeds of 100 km/h (62 mph), but I've seen a pair of 3000+ meter (1.85 mi) radius, 160 km/h (100 mph) turnouts, and I know there's even a few 6000+ meters (3.75 mi) radius, 220 km/h (135 mph) turnouts on our high-speed lines. 😅

    Glad you came through the storms safe and sound.
    Agreed on the "Roamin' Railfan". Love his work.
