The very best of train operations I've ever seen. I could watch all this action all day long. So much action! Cheers from eastern TN
Thank you so much!
This is one of the best railfanning videos I've ever seen. There is plenty of activity, a good variety of locomotives and rollingstock, and to top it all off it's well recorded.
19:38 NS 7111 has an awesome horn by the way.
Thank you very much! Glad you liked it!
I thought I would only watch a few minutes, and then ended up watching the whole clip. lots of activity, fun to watch. thanks!
same w/ me ...
Glad you enjoyed the show, thanks for watching!
One of the best videos on trains I seen, lots of action great to watch I just hope other UTubers who do train videos learn from this
Really glad you appreciated it, thanks for watching!
Great video, nice catches and tons of action, awesome job!
What an awesome video capturing both main line and industrial railroading... even with bottle cars. Thanks for the great show
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the action!
Excellent video! CP 502 is one of my favorite spots for this reason.
steven williams Thanks man. me too! I just love the industrial scenery.
OH Boy oh boy!!! Got trains running, north, south, east, west, pulln and PUSHN up, and down, this facility never ever rest, it's mind boggling 😱😵😭 I'm lost, lol, I guess this is what to expect when your the steel industry, I've never seen so many, coil cars, nor so many rolls of steel, them poor mini yard locomotives need a good night's rest at night, lol, WOW, thanks for the amazn video!!! EXELLENT FOOTAGE!!👍👍👍💯🌟made in the good ol USA!!!👍🌟👍
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you!!
This is AMAZING footage
Thanks, this is a first class video! Fantastic!
Thank you!
Excellent video with lots of action. Loved seeing those older locos.
Thank you!
Great video with plenty of good action.
so cool. love this heavy industrial action. thanks for sharing
Me too that's why I like to visit this area from time to time.
Beautiful sunset!!
I'll bet that's your white car parked at the bottom of the pedestrian ramp in several of your shots. I love those little switchers.. Switchers are my favorite. Great footage! Thanks!
That is my white car. Thanks for the comment! Glad you liked it!
Very interesting and beautiful video! Thank you! 👏👏👏
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you!
Really great videos. An important documenting of action around East Chicago and Gary mills. Variety just keeps coming. I want to see film shot in 1966 of the same area.
The RC unit sure shoved that steel load around the corner, fast !
It's a little scary how quickly they move around that sharp corner sometimes!
Great vídeo
Thank you!
Lovely shot of the roof of the ET44AC at 9:45 !!! Been waiting to see what it looks like from above! :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Terrific video! Thanks for sharing.
Much appreciated, thank you!
This is so much better than the Oprah, Prince Harry, and Megan interview.
I agree, thank you! Lol
It's 2020, how busy are things up there now, especially after the sale of Arcelor Mittal's sale ... Excellent video! Have always had a soft spot for Industrial Switching ...
I have not been back here in quite a few months, but when I was things both at the mill and on the main were significance slower. Sad what a few years can do.
Always neat to catch the hot metal train on its way to the continuous casting mill in Riverdale. Never been here, but I've seen it passing through Dolton.
I love the sound of that Arcellor Switcher #008....that little baby has a lot of power...reminds me of the trains pushing coal cars and scrap metal cars along the Allegheny River at night, in and out of Allegheny Ludlum Steel. That deep distinct rumble I'd hear it and it would lull me to sleep.
Definitely an impressive sight!
Great video! I never thought about going up on that pedestrian bridge because I thought it was basically off-limits.
From what I understand, the walkway bridge i was standing on was built as a part of the Cline Ave project. Sometime in the 90's the state donated it to the city of East Chicago. The rent a cops at the mill will try to kick you out every now and then, and it's usually fun to argue with them.
As a non-English speaker, I was really confused when reading REMOTE CON ROLLED. I actually tried to figure out, what ROLLED means with in connection with a locomotive.
Then, I found out, the locomotive is remote *controlled* on the right hand side, but remote *con* *rolled* on the left hand side. Thank you for making clear what you mean.
I think a T fell off somewhere.
Railfanned here and Dothan on a road trip between Calif and Grand Rapids on a Sunday. Nice to see the area from the air.
Wonderful video! Lots of action and super neat trackwork. Would be a good place to model on a layout!
Thanks! Someday I'll have this 502 area modeled. Not exactly, but close enough.
Wow, busy place!
That little switcher has got some power!
Well done.
Thank you
Los trenes en el Este de Chicago , la fabrica de acero , cruces diamante y cambios automaticos .
É uma maravilha assisti esses vídeos de ferrovias . Pra me é um ótimo lazer . Fui criado perto de ferrovias e entendo muito bem .
Também gosto muito. Na verdade eu amo os trens de ferro.
Your videos are great
Thank you!
great video
Randall Funk Thank you!
@ 2:00 WOW... he is rip assin' round that corner ain't he???... holy cow
They sure don't waste any time!
😂😂😂😂. Man, I was thinking the same damn thing
Very good video! :)
Thank you!
I love this🤓
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow! You should have taken 3 video cameras! 😆😆
Put 40 years In there👍
great video, like
Thank you!
This place is busier than a one legged pole dancer!!,,,,
CP crew: *Yeah, we are definitely lost..*
Unpaid Intern I actually see CP and CN often out here in the Midwest. They are pretty common.
CN a lot yes. They have an HQ in Homewood. CP has a yard in Bensenville.
Lol 😂
Cp has a line running through South Bend IN and frequently run trains on NS lines to reach there other tracks across the midwest.
Just a cool video. Any video by BP ,USX Gary ,and the Calumet Ind District.
👏👏👏
Good stuff. It's hard to see good mill footage. Have you ever found a way to get footage of the Gary Ry. down by USS?
@@patkramer5372 It was a spin off out of the CN purchase of EJ&E. They kept a little section down there and named it the Gary Ry., and use some ex EJE units.
do the modern gensets do good in winter Canadian Pacific tryed thenm but didnt think they did very well in the cold climite
Outstanding Everything Railroading happens In Chicago!
Great vantage point.
Great sounds too 👍
One of the more realistic model railroads
very busy track
Why the remote controlled Arcelor Mittal yard locomotives but not remote controlled switches? Aren't remote controlled switches rather common? Maybe they want to keep one (low-paid) human on the train to hit the kill swich if the remote control fails.
In the near future every train shown in this video will be auttomated.
Nice video. Thanks for not adding any background music.
Those SW1000s seem to have a vertical stacked set of marker lights on the back edge of the cab side wall, on both sides, you can just see them sticking out. Do you know what they are for? Are the color coded for something? You can just see in the last clip there just one of them lit up green.
This place is very busy.
Oh my goodness! What a hotspot this is. How many trains run here per day?
The steel company unit was on tracks laid by a model railroader.
It's quite the impressive maze of tracks!
It's a remote controlled unit so basically a standard gauge model train.
i just saw UP!
Is there a particular reason why they put an open hopper car in between each iron torpedo car? I just was curious if it was for safety, or some other practical reason. Thank you.
Weight distribution is a huge reason, those bottle cars are significantly heavier than an average freight car, even a locomotive
Can you tell me the precise location of where you took these shots? I've been to the area a gazillion times but I can't find a good safe place to railfan.
Where Cline Ave/912 exits to Michigan Ave. There is a pedestrian bridge that goes over the tracks.
@@SkyhawkACE123 Is this considered a safe place to railfan?

What trains are those? 6:58
Is that an SW1001?
What do the row of lights on the sides of the end cab switchers indicate?
The locomotives working the mills are remote control. Green means under power, red means stopping.
@@SkyhawkACE123 thank you
That bridge you're on is for public use right? i want to make a trip out there
Yes
14:25 What was he attempting to tell you guys?
is there a reason why there are empty flat bed cars between the bottle cars?
Spread out the weight and add some brakes.
hasta ahora el transporte mas economico que hay es por tren
É verdade. Econômico e seguro também.
Shame that Dash 8 wasn't leading the Amtrak that would have been epic.
класс
Is that... UNION PACIFIC at 0:27?!
8:41 Watch for ICF on bridges. Yea, there’s this terrible thing called icf which is worse than ice and grows on bridges.
I thought for a second what the hell is icf.
How far from inland steel was this
This is Inland steel
Tips for good days/times to catch mill jobs?
Week days seem to be better. But it's been slow for several months.
slabs coming from west side to east side for 80 hot strip
(@ 24:36) I guess the guy in the switcher got bored, or decided he'd parked the flatcars on the wrong siding (or more likely, his boss told him, "You f***ing idiot, I told you those cars go on track 2!! Now go back and do it right, or you're fired!") :)
So there is a mystery over the oddly shaped cars (not shown here, except in the intro frame). So I ask.. what is this about? A disclaimer? Nothing to see here? Answere. You know which ones I am talking about.
Clearly you didn't watch the video very long, because the video thumbnail occurs around the 10:27 mark. They are hot metal "bottle cars", they store hot molten liquid steel basically.
@@SkyhawkACE123 I did, along with my wife. Sorry I missed it. My apologies. So..why do they ship molten metals? I'm 69 years old by the way.
@@pilot3016 this is an inter-plant operation. They move raw products around the steel mill.
@@SkyhawkACE123 interesting. Seems like I have seen some footage of these cars moving through small towns. No conspiracy theory here..just seems odd. I have been to the mitsubishi factory in Miihara Japan (it has a foundry and manufactures offset printing presses)...and this just seems ..odd.
@@pilot3016 Actually, the molten pig iron is shipped over to another steel mill in Riverdale, Illinois where it is put into a BOP (Basic Oxygen Process) furnace to reduce and refine its carbon content.
I heard from a guy the IHB is just the worst....
alittle to fast for the yard

Horrible horrible company.
Jay Vasquez why?
Worked there 40 years, thank you b mother inland
