Tunnels are sweet. I love the hear those engines roar past you. It brings me back when I was a kid standing near them felling the vibration of all those horses roaring past me. The horns are super loud but I like it.
JT...took your advice and watched one more video. I've lived in PA for over 50 years and never have I visited the Gallitzin Tunnels or Horseshoe Curve. Thanks for providing these videos.
Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching that extra video to help my channel. I love visiting Pennsylvania. It has possibly the best train variety of any state. Horseshoe Curve is a must see
I've seen quite a few Herzog trains out here on BNSF and CP. 2 of the best were on CP, one had 3 SD40-2 leaders the other had 4. Both were loaded and the sound of all the EMD 645 prime movers under load was awesome.
Oh jaw tooth,what can I say,you always come up with a better video all the time! I lived that cloudy day scenery,and the emerging locos blasting their horns!! Tunnels are cool,in NY when the subway enters a tunnel, its such a deep darkness,on some lines,it goes in and back out again,of course the scenery is urban,but there's still a thrill entering a tunnel. Wow! That's a huge side by side frieghts going at the same time,twelve thumbs up jaw tooth!!!
My enjoyment - listening to those engines lay the power down climbing the hill. Almost shakes the desk here! Second train kicks in at 5:53 or so. Listen to those DPU's growl :) Very cool stuff :)
That's some good stuff right there, don't know what it is about tunnels that's so dang interesting and curious but they sure are. Thanks Mr. Jaw Tooth!
I think one thing that makes them interesting is that they were built many years ago. You have many man hours into building these tunnels by the sweat of the brow of men who are probably no longer alive. It’s an architectural structure sitting in the middle of the woods half forgotten about. It’s a part of history!
Way cool video!! Those engines are Huge!! I've never seen two trains going the same way!, so cool!!, and the music sounds Awesome!! Thank you Jaw Tooth for sharing with us, I look forward to watching your videos!!
@@JawTooth your welcome and I also film Train videos as well u would have either thumb through my channel or search Union Pacific Freight Train going through rural saint Elmo Illinois and union Pacific Freight Train Going Through Altamont Illinois and CSX Freight Train Going Through Altamont Illinois CSX Freight Train Going Through Saint Elmo Illinois
Awesome video tunnel in pennsylvania two locomotives that's it wait there's more always is weather is cloudy out there keep it coming jaw tooth bless you friend
Another outstanding video keep up the good work I always give you a thumbs-up even before I see the video you do outstanding work I give you an A+ you and your son an A+ job well done keep up the good work and please be safe Lord's blessings be with you and your family
Herzog trains are always welcome -dont know why -they always look impressive --maybe it's the white name on red oxide -or just the fact there big trains -cant decide ! A Herzog special would be good Jawtooth - specials are always welcome ! Bring it on !! Regards
Quick question for you Jawtooth -from 9.29 onwards is that a catch fence or an alarm fence in the cutting ?? I take it the trees are higher up that the trains -so is it to catch rocks or falling trees ? Cant really see that well !
This video is enjoyable as much for the scenic beauty as for the racing by the two trains with heavy loads! Though we could not catch the Herzog fully!
Track 1, a/k/a the slide is 90% eastbound with only the occasional westbound Pennsylvanian. Tracks 2 and 3 will see mostly westbound traffic, with very heavy eastbound traffic that poses a risk of running away on the steep grade on track. That’s cool, son! However, it is private property and is patrolled by NS and local police.
Great video. I’ve only gotten videos from the western portals in Gallitzin. Nice little town. The B&B That is right on the edge of the western portals is a great place to stay overnight and watch the trains come through the tunnels, too. May I suggest you try and hit the Sand Patch Tunnel and Fall’s Cut Tunnel for some great CSX action sometime? Not much in the way of HD video that I’ve seen lately, but those are some great tunnels on the Sand Patch Grade with a lot of Notch 8 action uphill and a ton of dynamic braking down. Love to make my way out there sometime.
Jussi, the un-used tunnel (Gallitzin Tunnel) was closed after they widened the Allegheny Tunnel (which we see the two consists go through). I know the western portal of the Gallitzin Tunnel is bricked over and closed, but it looks like the eastern portal is still open. It would definitely be a cool look inside though.
@@nobillclinton Altoona also has a very nice railroad museum. Both times that I was in Altoona, the museum was closed due to coronavirus. There also is a site near there that highlights the Allegheny Portage Railroad. Needless to say, is a railroad rich area.
Oh I know that line that one connects up to a big train bridge it's huge cuz. my mom will drive me we have family up in Pennsylvania and I just see the train bridge it's huge
ha Brian,i have 12 hours long looking on Fostoria West to see you and Allan,wel mutch trains but no Jaw tooth en Milenium force.i now it was 4 hours drive.and it was raining here the whole day.i was not visit Tony,i do that next saturday.wel the wetter in Fostoria was excelent with sun en 21c.
Love your content. I've never been at track level for the tunnels (execpt when riding Amtrak). I've always been at the top of the portace, but don't know if that's open anymore. Oh, appears I wrote roo soon - you had footage at the end atop the portace.
Honestly days I used draw on call box 80 brycvillee elementary sit with hobo ftra.shoe string not hobo .hobo choose pl woods at night guy cant make hobo camp ftra.80 I was named ftra meaning I been on railroad has kid and been in hobo camps
Fun! But wish we could have seen where the Herzog train went into the tunnel. Looked like it just went into the mountain. And was there a small tunnel to the right?

Love the craziness the trains bring from the noise yes and the track sounds lovely all the time yes!!
The clack song of the trains units wow so lovely great!!
Tunnels are so cool! You always know what's going in, but you never know what's coming out. Thanks for the video son!
There's more to see, every time, for sure ! So thank you very much.
Thats awesome to watch Jaw. Its not everyday you see two trains side by side like that
Wow! Those two uphill trains working so hard almost side by side. Thank you Jaw Tooth for a reminder of summertime
They had couple of our intermodal trailers on it
2 tracks nice!!
Those double stacks looked to be a pretty tight fit in the tunnels. Good video. Thanks for sharing.

Live Action and MORE!! Got the whole Millenniumforce crew and Revello 608 with you too!!
Thanks for the cool post, Brian. Was at Galitzen twice in the last month. No traffic both times.
Damn you for making me remember how much I like to watch trains roll by...LOL!!!
Love watching your videos. Watching trains go into an out of tunnels very cool. Thanks.
To the tunnel great view yes!!
Awesome guys 👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎
Great location. Those were some good catches. Thanks for bringing this one out of your library. Thumbs up.

Parallel action into the tunnel. Nice catch !!
That’s interesting...NS 6309 (SD40E EX-SD50) is what was the locomotive I saw on NS P86! also nice catch on SD70ACU helpers! 7243 and 7253

@@1ChevyGuy375 Well said, and so many lives were lost during their construction.
Great video and location! Love tunnels! Thanks for sharing Jawtooth !
Fantastic sight slogging up the hill there.
It really is!
Nice catch indeed JT. Bet there was a mighty noise in the tunnel for the crews
Thanks for sharing, Cary
Looks Like 👍 the Railroad Chain Gang is out there with you. I’m Glad there was another Train.👍
It is always best to stay out of the tunnels, when the trains go through they are going to move strong. 👍😎
Way cool video!! Those engines are Huge!! I've never seen two trains going the same way!, so cool!!, and the music sounds Awesome!! Thank you Jaw Tooth for sharing with us, I look forward to watching your videos!!

Wow two Trains at once on the track definitely some nice catches fantastic video

Looks like they do crew changes there with those steps right up to the tracks. I saw the same thing in Chattanooga

Turns out that I was in Cresson the week before you were at Gallitzin. I’ll have to post all the videos I caught.
Impressive video as usual, thanks again!

Fun fact SD40E 6309 is an ex C and J! I think..also SD70ACUs are former UP SD90MACs! Just rebuilds!
Awesome Video

G tunnel cool stuff jt
Awesome video jaw tooth
Did I see right, was there another un-used tunnel too? Little urbex please, if you ever go there again.. show us the tunnel from inside if possible.
Gallitzin is worth the trip. Not far from horse shoe curve Altoona. . .
Okay I will see what I can do

@@KEITHSTNE It was closed off after a trespasser got bit by a rattlesnake.
I miss Conrail
👍😊👍
Oh I know that line that one connects up to a big train bridge it's huge cuz. my mom will drive me we have family up in Pennsylvania and I just see the train bridge it's huge
Looks like several late model EMD's
Anytime you and Millennium hook up,, something good is bound to happen .
I have never been able to find this location, and I thought it would be trespassing to go there.
ha Brian,i have 12 hours long looking on Fostoria West to see you and Allan,wel mutch trains but no Jaw tooth en Milenium force.i now it was 4 hours drive.and it was raining here the whole day.i was not visit Tony,i do that next saturday.wel the wetter in Fostoria was excelent with sun en 21c.

Merci pour ce partage!!!!!!!!
No wonder that needs so many engines!

I haven't seen this part of the tunnels. We always stood on the bridge by the Tunnel Inn!!!!!!!!
Now that was a cool video JT
Wow...That was an amazing video, son. Very cool.
Try filming closer to the tunnel. Perhaps on top of the grass above the tunnel opening.
them short tunnels is why u dont see double stack IMs this way
Nice catch enjoyed ty vm
Is that Millennium Force “Blocking” our View ? 🤪 Tell him “But Wait, Move Out of the Way”. 😬👍
I just now did. lol
Haa! Truck trailers on a train...take that truck and road transport!

Intermodal back then slow moveing chemical cars
a nice spot would have been above the entrance to the tunnel
Aha,grint van Herzog.

Great vid Son ...
Fun! But wish we could have seen where the Herzog train went into the tunnel. Looked like it just went into the mountain. And was there a small tunnel to the right?
