- Hey Guys! Last Tuesday, we were fortunate to witness the Loram Railgrinder grind the B&LE Girard branch for the first time in 13 years! The thick and hard snowfall added the excitement, creating beautiful shots in downtown Girard, Pennsylvania. We hope you enjoy this video and happy railfanning and train chasing!
Grinding the branch indicates continued use into the future. No worries about tie fires that day! Thanks for braving the elements to get this movement.
+TucsonPete Thanks and you’re welcome, I honestly enjoy filming in the snow lol!
I caught a fire started by an extra ore train about 7 months ago
Awesome 👏🏻 thank you 🙏
I can't get enough of your opening, its perfect! This snow catch is really great and love the almost direct view of the approach with the red brick to the right. When modelers build snow layouts, this is what they picture it looks like in the heads. Fantastic
Its such a pleasure to have you supporting and hope we can continue to check out each other work to build our watch times. I got a few more you might like including a short line in rural Quebec hauling 1.25Miles of windmill blades and a 1hr of CN and via rails along multiple points across eastern Ontario. Its a pleasure to be a subscriber to your channel and love your content. Keep up the great work and lest grow together
+Pusa Studios Thanks! I really like that intro! Also, I’ve known about that direct shot for a while and fell in love with it but this line is so seldomly used that I never got a chance to film here until now! Glad you enjoyed and thanks for supporting me!
+Pusa Studios I cant wait to see those videos! Are they uploaded already or do you still have to do that?
Man if there was no snow on the ground, those sparks would've been brighter and bigger.
+GT Rail Fan Productions Unfortunately so. It was still cool to see nonetheless.
Atleast the water cannons didn’t spray in his face
This is a good time to do this job because the snow can cool the rails after it has been grinding.
+Chris Hinnant Yeah! No fires happened that evening lol!
@@BessemerLakeErie902 1derful. I saw a video when a grinder was grinding the track and later fire has started so they had to back up and put out the 🔥.
Awesome catch! I wish just to see A TRAIN here letalone the devils express.
+CSX Nathaniel Molek Productions Thanks and yeah lol! I don’t see ANY trains on this line normally. Gabe saw the grinder go through Albion and up the Girard line, so I knew it was coming. If Gabe wouldn’t have seen it, I wouldn’t have even known about it lol!
Great commentary. Excellent video.
+iusetano Thank You!
What a beautiful place that seems, and even more beautiful of course because of trains 🥰😍😷👍🏻
Cool video, always nice to see maintenance on the big B
+Bob Gallo Thanks!
Perfect conditions for that.
Lorem is. Great. Amazing. Wonderful. Beautiful. I'm. Iñ. Love 💕 with her
Thanks for the narration. Well done.
Thank You!
That horn is full of snow
Maybe the train was helping in stopping a suspect from getting away in a car. You can't cross if there is a train I guess.
The depot on mechanic st was not the former b&le depot. The b&le Girard depot was demolished- the depot on mechanic st was moved only 100 yards or so - and was the former nickel plate depot - now where NS parks its MOW vehicles
+Raymond Brown Yeah. Back when I made this video, someone told me that the Bessemer depot was the same one at Mechanic. That wasn't true as I later found out what you told me.
Best time of year to do it. Less risk of fire.
Very true
Did they do the actual Bessemer main at all? I would assume that would require some grinding as well.
Two years ago they did. 10:15
Red Raider Railfan Productions they did do the main this year also.
+Red Raider Railfan Productions Yeah. They did both the Girard Branch and mainline this year. Sorry I never replied, I didn’t see this comment until today!
I’m hoping to see it
Stopped to test his sound effects....
really a grinder with police siren tone ?
Lots of maintenance-of-way equipment use sirens.
If CN are doing this, bigger plans could be afoot.
+Geoffrey Lee I hope so. This line sees one train every 1-2 months. The only use for the line is to switch EMSCO plastics and they don’t even bring cars up anymore. NS gives them to B&LE at their interchange a quarter mile north of the Facility instead of B&LE bringing them up themselves
When will this train be in butler Pennsylvania?
Not sure. Probably not for a while. You can check the Facebook groups for more information.
@@BessemerLakeErie902 I don’t have Facebook and not planning to get it
Why wouldn’t you show what the tracks look like after the grind...duh
They look the same duh
@@bhproductions1061 Surely they'd look shinier, no?
@@PrenticeBoy1688 yeah they always do when a train goes by

cool video, but work on your enunciation. it sounds like you're on novocaine.
+e m Thanks for the constructive criticism. I always appreciate when someone is honest with how my work is. I will try to enunciate better in the future and thanks again for bringing this to my attention.
You sound like you're from Western PA. I'm not, but I improved my own diction when I trained as a licensed lay reader. Learning how to read the KJV clearly and with emphasis in all the appropriate places ... it bled over into my ordinary speech.
I know y'all like big diesels but by god. Modernize your railroads.
As much as like trains
It would be weird seeing electric trains in areas like these
Good grief. This is how America is in these old towns. We like it that way. We have a car culture with cheap energy. We don't need 400 mph electric trains everywhere.
@@scdevon exactly! In Oklahoma we are perfectly fine with diesels, if they put in electric locos it would ruin It
