- Huge street running train comes just as Santa lights up LaGrange! Street running train during Light Up LaGrange 2019. Santa had just rode the fire truck down the CSX street runner track, flipped the lights on and then a train came immediately. You can hear the train horns while the countdown is going on. They count down to zero and then all the Christmas lights in town come on. That is when the southbound manifest came. The police and city workers were getting the crowds of people off the tracks. There are white lines painted along the tracks that the police told people to get behind.
People are use to the trains here and the trains only go 10 miles an hour until the locomotives clear the street running track. Then the trains speed up to 25 miles per hour. This was a busy day for the trains. 12 trains went by on this day, December 7, 2019. There is an average of 10 trains a day through LaGrange, Kentucky. The first ten days of December had 105 trains on the street runner track. Several days had only 8 trains and one day had a high of 13 trains. Recently, there are fewer trains here. See my video that explains why there is a significant decrease in trains. • Top 3 Reasons Fewer T... I have posted several more videos of the trains here and I have a playlist called Street Running Trains. My playlist has trains from a bunch of different states so check it out. Thanks for watching!

Thanks a lot CSX! LOL. Warsaw and Elwood, Ind have active street tracks as well.
I'm glad you reminded me about Elwood. That was on my list to film. I lost the list about six months ago. Lol. that goes back on the new list!! Near the top!
Jaw Tooth Cool! Looking forward to seeing it.
@@JawTooth 2:38 brand new CSX AC4400CW
@@JawTooth Elwood is hit or miss on trains but Warsaw is a better bet. Kokomo also has street track but it is long oos.
@@JawTooth yea Warsaw is cool place. Currently sees around 9-10 trains a day. 142, 143, 174, 177, 12Q, 13Q 18K, and 19K run every day, 200 runs on the line daily except Sundays, and unit trains such as 60C (steel) and 65Q (ethanol) run as needed.
I love the fact of a train coming down Main Street that is small town America.
LaGrange is like,,,, fully suburban chicago
NatFlaps Lol last time I was in that town the was going on the Main Street trains were not on Rt45. I sure glad I don’t live around that anymore. Love the county life.
im just now realizing this is LaGrange KY and not LaGrange IL
Trains is part of the christmas magic!
I wish I could live in a place like this. Sometimes there are trains legit coming down the road in residential areas 🤣
Nobody:
CSX: I'm bout to kick this celebration up a notch.
Eugene Stoner notch 8, at least for railfans
Eugene Stoner lol
@Eugene Stoner 8
It was the polar express... just the kids had to sit in the box cars and tanks.
Trains is part of the christmas magic. Imagine you were freight hopping though and all of sudden it pulls up right to where people are nearby lmao
Town: Were having a parade!
CSX: I wanna join, too!
Omg so funjy
Lol
And CSA single-handledly more than doubles the length of the parade - actually several _times_ as long as the rest of the parade.
I think the train was the best part of the parade
Canada has a train parade light show that would have been a sight to see here !
To bad there wasn't a way they could have made the train a part of the parade.
Too bad CP can't run their holiday train through there ...
That would have been epic.
Yeah it's the ideal place for the CP holiday train. Easy access to see the performance and collect donations.
@@TrainMike2013 they should've it would've been cool I've seen holiday train too really unique just need it in HO SCALE!
Yeah really. Go to Walmart and buy a few sets of strand lights and wrap it around the main locomotive. If you really care about budget just go return them afterwards! Lol
Everyone: enjoying themselves
The freight train: “let me introduce myself”
Lol
Funny lol
LOL
happens every year hardly a surprise.
Train:helo
Not knowing the specific history of LaGrange, KY, I can't say for sure, but probably when the railroad came to town in the 1800's, it was considered a great thing that it ran through the middle of town. The station was probably on the main street, and people could walk to get the train or take a short buggy ride to it. Merchants could get goods delivered close to their stores. Up until automobiles came along, a railroad running down the street was most likely considered a real plus.
I used to work for CSX as train crew. Events like this are just about always coordinated with the railroad by local officials, and there are special instructions on the event in the orders for every train crew scheduled to operate through that community during the time of the event. Often a railroad official is assigned to be on-site coordinating with the local authorities, keeping them apprised of approaching trains, and controlling by radio orders when and how fast trains move through the area. Someone below said that trains usually don't whistle coming through town. This city probably has a "quiet zone" agreement with the railroad to only ring the bell when passing through town, but that practice was probably suspended for the festival. Stuff like this doesn't just happen. It's planned well in advance. Safety first, last, and always.
Paul W. Woodring it always nice to get the perspective of a railroad employee. Thank you for the insight
So in 200 years, half of which with cars, it never seemed worthwhile to move the track? I don't understand.
@@arfyness Line relocations are very expensive, and the town fathers may have felt it wasn't worthwhile.
Most towns had enough sense not to build their Main Streets over the tracks and then line them close up with their shops. They either built on one side of the tracks or allowed a very, very wide buffer zone between the tracks and the streets that run parallel. The stations would be built within the right of way. My suburban town, which began in the 1800's when the railroad was built, is like that. Very busy with freight and commuter traffic, but you don't have to worry about your car running up nose-to-nose with a 200 ton loco.
@@KameraShy the first cars werent invented until the early 1900s. It makes sense that a train would run through a small town by that time. (Station on the outskirts, and then expanded around)
There wasnt a major push in america for everyone to drive until the 50s, so it wasnt an issue until then. It was likely too late by then to reasonably relocate the rails as car travel was eating into the railroad profits.
Most towns these days that have railroads running through them had the lines built in the 1900s. but a few older routes remained profitable to keep, resulting in main streets developing like la grange
kids LOVE trains, I bet it was the highlight of the show for them!
I am an adult I love trains. Love all sorts of trains to fast Japanese ones. Love planes as well. Especially the commercial ones like 787 and 777.
Real live polar express courtesy of csx but it's Freight :(
I was thinking the same thing 😂
Polar Express Freight
@farEvil Dee Well, it did have a lot of autoracks. Surely some of those are going to wind up being someone's gift. Lolz
Put the kids in the boxcars
Also a GEVO leading
Two of the locomotives look like they had just rolled off the factory floor! All nice and shiny!
Thank you very much!
Well, Your kid said he wanted a 'Train' for Christmas. LOL
shoulda said Lionel on the side
OMG HELL YEAH
You must have one HUGE living room for that toy train!
Sanddab Z Bachmann is better. Doesn’t have that third rail* going down the middle. Or at least Hornby.
Cause somebody wanted to complain about me using “track”
Now lets put it on the table for good measure.
I bet the conductor loved it! A slice of Christmas cheer while traveling away from home. My dad's uncle was a fisherman on a boat and would stop at harbor towns along the way. He would tell us kids stories how lighthouse keepers would decorate the lighthouses and piers to welcome them home for Christmas.
Nah he was probably shitting himself, I would be if I was controlling a train going through a crowd like that
Nobody:
CSX: I'm about to end this whole mans event
Gionni Gunn lol 😂
Man that was a long train. Sounded like everyone cheered when it was finally over.. lol
Yes, they did. Lol
Stella smith No they just want to move and not stay in one place so they were happy when the train was over.
Stella smith Some people don’t like trains... But I love TRAINS!
@@majortom4300
those people are liberals
@TrucksNTracks
liberals hate trains, they cause global warming
It would have been good at the engineer did Jingle Bells with the whistle
it would've been annoying
Or with the bell
Yeah the whistle is for some wierd code stuff I think the bell would sound better and just be allowed lol
It’s a horn
acts2210 called a horn boomer
Freights gotta move. They have schedules to keep just like everyone else
What's Christmas without trains? Nice catch.
The issue is that train isn't a steam train! 😜
@@lowrangemaniac5326 Steam trains are only used for passenger trains nowadays, not freight
@@thetreedemoknight4827 I know.... But steam trains are the emblem of Christmas.... And I know that the train in the video is making only his job
Would have been even better if it had been the CP holiday train that was just passing through.
There just something really cool and quaint about how this town is laid out with the street running section of track...pretty cool it hasn't ever been changed.
And how they really seem to embrace it as a part of the town's collective identity and also their laid-back accepting coexistence with the railroad.
These folks would be depressed if these tracks ever fell silent. It's a fixture, it adds to everything and makes the town a novelty in a sea of sameness.
In Europe we have something very similar to that. Go to check to Molli from Bad Doberan. The cool thing is that is a steam touris train
Eric Lizotte the tracks were there first. The town built up around it
Bryce Hale Ashland VA is in a similar situation
1:44 This officer saved people's lives. He should get an award for this.
That's why you pay for his pension
SO Where exactly did the officer save a life...all i saw were people already moved and the officers walking around with starwars lightsabers....WAY TO GO THERE DARTH VADER...
@@pathall7641 It was a joke... (...)
@@Naughtystimpy I also didn't got the joke but one thing I knew is that people are actually dumb, tere are kids too who can run one side to another
I blame JawTooth. Santa had just come by and Jawtooth was probably jumping up and down asking Santa for a street running train. He got an early present. Merry Christmas Jawtooth.
Lol!
Here in the UK something like that would cause chaos. The weight of the complaints would exceed the all up weight of the train :) I just love this stuff. Thanks for sharing!
Here in the UK that would never be allowed. So stupid to have trains running through a main street with the possibility of serious injuries or even death to pedestrians.
Look at the people that died Michael. Harrowing scenes lol. The difference with the UK is that the railway gets blamed for everything when people should have some common sense!
@@michaelhuxley6337 I bet even in Lagrange there is a greater risk of pedestrian injuries caused by cars and trucks than by trains. We're irrational about that in the UK; we consider it perfectly OK for cars and trucks to go through our streets at 30mph all day long, but a train at 10mph a dozen times a day would be unacceptable. Which is a major part of the reason why there are very few freight trains in the UK.....
I suspect the UK has very little grade level train and roadway interaction, This is actually a huge problem in the USA and a major barrier to high speed rail in the Northeastern USA. Grade level crossings are a major hazard(to idiots), But they are also why aside from a lot of sharp turns that the Acela Express for example cannot tear across Connecticut at 150mph. Passengers and operators could get injured if a train hit a signal ignoring semi at top speed.
@@filanfyretracker It's actually track curvature. There are ZERO grade crossing timetable south of New Haven and only a couple between New Haven and Providence. One in Waterford is dangerous and could be eliminated if someone wanted to pay for it, but the ones in New London are on 25mph trackage anyway.
Somewhere a railroad lawyer has nightmares about one thousand people standing within a few feet of a moving train.
❤
“There’s a train coming!”
By the point in the video where that guy yelled that, that should’ve been obvious.
I just can't get over people going about, some with strollers and kids running along, with a seemingly 5 million car train no more then 5 or 6 feet from them.
WOW! That's a Merry Christmas moment!
they've lived there most of their life..those trains coming through sometimes longer than they were born that grew up around it they know exactly what to expect..now the ones that amaze me though are the dip shitz that don't realize the light rail systemhow it takes two seconds for a train to pass on a light rail system is just beyond me why they drive around the crossing gates in urban areas which is just plain stupid is that like you're waiting for a mile-long freight train but then again the whole world is stupid nowadays isn't it??
Mr Sunshines politics has nothing to do with it
Dangerous business to stand that close to a freight train. Sometimes strapping on the cars comes undone and can fly out and hit anything that's too close, as the train passes. On top of that a train with a lot of force can create low pressure as it passes and if someone is standing dangerously close they can be pulled toward the train.
Aw, the train heard about the party and wanted to join in on the fun, that’s all!
How TH-cam knew I would LOVE this is beyond me. GO CSX. That's a way to make a Christmas parade memorable!!!
Christmas Parade: *exists*
CSX: *Im about to end this man's whole carrer*
Band and cheer leaders
Thank you for posting this video of street running. That’s something we don’t have New South Wales Australia.
I have a street running playlist that shows street running trains from about 6 different states. Thanks for watching!
That’s the life of folks in a railroad town!
It actually looks like the celebration died as that train came through!
BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE...!!!!! Nice catch there Brian.Reminds of the Christmas parade in Plant city,and by the way 80 degrees down here today.Peace out.
Wow great job with this video JawTooth. I'm really impressed that there's so many steel rolls on that train. Another thing was that intermediate loco in front of coiled steel cars... New to your channel, since last in November. I look forward to your postings.
God bless you and your family this Christmas and New year.
Thank you Colby! God bless you and Merry Christmas!
The intermediate locomotive is known as a DPU and is there to add extra pulling power to the train to make it easier to keep long trains moving. They have found this to be more efficient than adding extra locomotives to the front of the train. They control it remotely from the lead locomotive as it is usually unmanned.
You're right, that was a long train. Those lights were beautiful.
Everyone is complaining about the train. Im saying why it did not have any decor in it.
Theyd be happy if it was the Canadian Pacific Christmas train thats all lit up
If I were the engineer I would have played jingle bells on the horn!
The trains made these small and big towns. Without them those towns would not be established today. So thank you to all the hard working train engineers and laborers in the industry that paved the way for what America has today. You area huge part of why makes America run. Thank you.
Everybody being amazed at a street running train and how the people just see it as normal and I’m just like yep that’s Lagrange for ya, lived here all my life.
This is a very nice video. I am an old engineer and it is interesting, how railway and chrismas go together. So, tumps up. Greatings from Germany.
Thanks for posting this Brian! Street running is awesome! I have watched this about 10 times!
hats off to the coordinator of the event...obviously this was probably the only time they could have an event of the lighting...glad no one was hurt...
Nothing like Christmas then a train and was anyone complaining about the train
I did not hear one person complain about the trains.
I'm the kids loved it
Nice parade and lights -Train just capped it off ! Nice catch Jawtooth !
Regards
I guess it kind of trained on their parade.
😂😂😂😂
I’ll give you that one
Go one bro😆😆😆🤣🤣🤣🤣
Some of our longest train are steel coil flats, but not in the same league as that! Ours are limited by track circuit length.
Health and safety here would have a wobbly if they saw all those people so close to the train. Thats one of the reasons we don't have street running anymore, sadly.
Very nice video Brian, hope you have a great Christmas.
Thank you sir.
Everyone: enjoying the night
The CSX Locomotive: im about to make this party even more fun
Street level train watching. I’ve always wanted to see the trains at this angle and location. Thanks Jawtooth!
I'm working on a longer video from here. I spent a whole day here recording. Thanks for watching!
@@JawTooth I enjoy all your videos. A brotha says, JT you the man sticking around and getting the footage
Whats worse then a train running down your town's main street during a Christmas celebration?
One that goes into emergency lulz.
What a beautiful downtown holiday event with fellowship, good tidings, a Christmas tree lighting, fellowship...and a street running train! Now that's a grand Holiday Season!
During the restrictive Covid-19 times of 2020, it's really great to look back and remember the pre-virus times of 2019!!
Blessings, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!!
thanks for watching!
Just love that place. Great to see a train from ground level. Truly amazing. Thank you and Merry Christmas from the U.K.
Very awesome and very beautiful video as always please keep it up Jawtooth
Thanks Daniel!
Neat train, the parade was okay, but not in my thing....but seeing street running trains is awesome, thanks so much!
There was also another train that came by right after this one and an ambulance had to wait for it for about five or six minutes. Thanks for watching!
@@JawTooth so what happens if it is a really serious situation with the ambulance?
@Jaw Tooth There was also a very noisy, horn happy train that passed through around 3pm there as well. That was fun to watch on the 12-hour rewind.
Frederick Moller the train has the right of way
That's freaking awesome! It would be more festive if the train light up too!
That would be cool!
Might have been a good idea if someone from the city had called CSX dispatch to co-ordinate train passage with tree light ups. Great video as usual J.T.
@Hay Day Reported
Driving the firetruck with Santa Claus right down the middle of a busy railroad track. What could possibly go wrong? ; )
This must be the only rail fan TH-cam channel with a Christmas special. Street running (of which there is almost none left in the UK) usually looks a bit surreal. That train running through the Christmas light switch on celebration just looked mad. I have enjoyed watching these videos; I have discovered this channel a few months ago. Have a good Christmas Jaw Tooth (or whatever your real name is). Look forward to seeing some more videos in 2020.
Damn, those people were close to that train! 😱😱
This give me crazy anxiety watching but I’m sooo fascinated. Here in the UK, we have level crossings everywhere cos of health and safety but this is through the street!!! The Street!
I look for cities like this to film trains in the street. I have a playlist called Street Running Trains. If you have time check out a few more of them.
What Cool Light Up Parade With A Street Runner CSX Train.
Santa thought his sleigh needed an upgrade, so he decided to go with some GE hammerheads lol. Brought a sack of mixed manifest to LaGrange! also, that second and helper engine looked either brand spankin' new, or fresh paint job. great catch
That train went on to new year's eve !!
merry Christmas jaw tooth. great video
City planners didn't check the train schedule that night? Seems like it kind of killed the Santa Claus mood. Long train. I Love Trains going down the street and small towns I'm sure the people in the towns don't appreciate it but I like it it's one of my favorite things I live on the west coast and I don't see many trains in middle of town
Only parade I will ever watch.
Wow! A small town with a Main St and everyone wants a piece of the action.
The trains really do make the town. I first saw it in a train magazine about twenty years ago
The Christmas lights are better there than we have here in St.Albans, England, still can't get over how long your freight trains are. Good video as always.
Yep, ours are so long that our _model railroaders_ sometimes run 100+car trains :D
Town: celebrating parade
CXS: I’m gonna ruin the parade lol
Happy Trails & Rails to you dear Jaw Tooth! Your videos are always exciting 😊 and fun🤣! Thanks much and have a truly blessed and wonderful Christmas holiday season!🎄🎄💕💕🎄🎄
Now that was definitely a CHRISTMAS SPECIAL JT! A Christmas parade with lights, a CSX mixed freight train, a fire truck, and SANTA CLAUS! A very MERRY CHRISTMAS for you JT! I couldn't ask for more than that for CHRISTMAS! Very NICE JT +
You got that right! Thanks for watching and commenting Mike!
@@JawTooth NOT A PROBLEM JT!
10 trains going through this town each day??? OMG this town is heaven!!!
Twice so far in December there were 13 trains in a 24 hour period. So far today there have been 9 trains up to 7:30pm
You should come on over to my town (Vincennes, Indiana) we have several trai s a day roll thru in different directions. I consider us lucky if you're a train enthusiast like myself.
And when you get tired of the snow, come on down here to Belleview FL. The S-line runs right along the edge of town, at the end of my street. We get one every 30 or 40 minutes. Those guys sound like they're coming right through my front yard.
Wow. What a long train. I can only dream of something like that around here. Great video.
Great catch Brian.What a long train.Love the new rebuilt DPU in the middle.Looks like the second locomotive in the lead is a rebuild also.Thanks and thumbs up!
What a lovely little parade for a town, only of someone heard or knew about checking the manifest on WHEN the next consist is coming through. But none the less, great video!
Seeing the fire engine and cop cars at the start covered in Christmas lights is a beautiful combination
The poor train just wanted to be in the parade too 😔
Great Video. Thank you. Not used to this as an European guy. CSX should do some extra with this train on this scedule.
The parade interrupted the train he had to slow down for the parade.
The train was the life of the party here!
Man! Talk about rotten timing! That was one long pain in the you know what. Great video as always. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Merry Christmas John!
Imagine how intense that’d be if you were train hopping on that with all those people that could see you
That train was long! Love your videos.
Such a beautiful parade merry Christmas jaw tooth❤😍
Merry Christmas!
I would have thought that people would have been angry, but everyone seems to be digging it! Cool.
Both compelling and insane at the same time.
It was a busy day for trains.
wow CSX 7201 and 7203 AC44CW engines in consist, nice train catch and nice parade too
Talk about crashing a party! Dang it was long...
I always enjoy your videos, Jawtooth. I wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a fantastic, train-filled New Year.
Merry Christmas and Happy New year!
Hi Brian! Great video! That street running train has a totally different look and feel at night. Nevertheless very awesome in all respects!
Thanks Jeff!
Jaw Tooth Merry Christmas 🎁🎄 to you and your family Brian! I enjoy your videos very much and look forward to them! Big thumbs UP 👍!!!
1:44 "Train comin'!" Santa has so many helpers.
the train be like: "heyo everyone its my time to shine! NOW GET OFF MY TRACKS DUM DUMS"
Thank you for your lovely video of a train coming in American small town. It is very important to be disciplined
Parade: *Having fun*
CSX train: *I’m gonna end this whole parade’s carrear*
Ok, but is literally no one gonna talk about the perfect timing of the horn blast at 0:53? I mean, that train blew its horn like it was cheering for the light-up with the people! XD 😂🤣
Merry Christmas and thank you!
Merry Christmas David!
Compared to the 1st locomotive, the 2nd locomotive is really shiny and really clean!!!
👍🏻
So was the DPU!
Because they’re both new!
Not to be mean but I loved it when the Polar Express came through, trains are an integral part of the holiday and I didn't hear one person complain
Why would that be rude?
Those locos were actually clean and shiny!
Boy, I wish I could have been there for that. That was one heck of a train, just not sure how safe it was to be bombing down the street at that speed with so many people just a few feet away.
I filmed all the trains that day in the light except for a couple. I will be posting those videos when I get them complete. An ambulance got to, I mean had to wait for a train also
I suspect that people who live in LaGrange have had a little experience with trains running down Main Street, and most understand about staying out from under them. Just a guess on my part.
Nice the CSX Crew wanted to be in the fun and love that newly painted CSX mid train dpu.
The train was actually part of the show
This was one of the best train videos ever. Thanks to Jaw tooth for all of his hard work for all of us to enjoy.
Glad you enjoyed it!
"Don't let me ruin your party"
Awesome vid!! That’s some intense street running.
