I counted 16 grain cars and 2 railroad ties and 20 rock hoppers. Now, that's a HEAVY train! I had to look twice to make sure of the count. Great train and outstanding video, sir!
Well, whoever put out the slow order wasn't thinking about a rock train :) No lack of action that day! Very cool :) You are right about the time change - it would be dark already.
Great catch! 38 cars is more than the single digit numbers they were pulling last year which is a sign of growing business. Neat catch between this train, signals, and history there!!
Now that’s what I call awesome, this shortline really puts on a show. These crews really earn their money. I sure would’ve liked to have seen this line under NS and N&W ownership. The fact that they had to double the hill splitting up their train indicates how steep that hill is. Nice to see, although not in service, an old N&W CPL signal still standing. Your right, this is your best shortline video ever. The CCET is an awesome short line. Thanks JT.
Thanks, J.T. I love to see how the story ends. You tell us a lot of what the conductors need to do. But in this case, my hat is off to the engineer who had to, not once, but twice, start out from a dead stop, pulling that heavy load up hill, without a wheel slip. That takes a very skilled hand on the throttle!
Hey Brian keep an eye on that I Thought We Were All Aboard The Same Train Of Thought.grain car. It's out there somewhere. Those old signals are probably 100 years old. Cool video.
Another great video John tooth thank you very much God bless when I saw and you hear my cats they want to go outside when you saw the caboose down there that was awesome have a given brother God bless
Hey, When I was a Police Officer I use to help out Csx and Kcs . Behind my house where I use to live was Csx tracks that went from Birmingham to Tuscaloosa and to the Mines . It was a 7% grade they would have to cut the Trains sometimes . They would call me to help out. I would give the crew rides . I always liked them crew packs and the bottle waters they had on the Engines . There was a crossing right behind my house and they would call me and tell me they left some stuff at the crossing for me. Those where some Awesome times .
nice catch. reminded me of the time when i was kid, a Chicago and Northwestern train stalled by where i lived. the engineer was a nice guy. i asked him how much weight he was pulling. it was around 10,000 tons. this was a couple of years before the UP took it over. i wish i could remember what the locomotives were.
I may have known that hogger, was it in Chicago, or the suburbs? When I started there in the early 70s, we'd get a job to deliver loaded gons to the IHB RR on the night shift and would usually stall and need a shove up the steep hill from the east end of yard 4, having to wait a half hour or more for the shove from another yard job.Location wise that was just west of Lake street and 25th Ave Melrose Park. Good video, JT, I could hear the wheel slip happening on that 2nd pull at about 22:30. You'd think they'd let them have a back to back consist instead of them traveling bass ackwards long hood leading across all those road x-ings. Must be a heck of a grade to strain 2 locos with those short cuts.
I always enjoy your videos, but I love your endings with your dogs and I love 💕 the sweet little black 🐈⬛ cat... Thanks ever so much. Have a wonderful weekend!!!
Neat video JT! CE always has nice clean power. It shows pride in their operation. I appreciate the smaller rail line videos like this one. Thank very much! 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
Hi Jawtooth, You have a beautiful country. Railroads pay themselves. Beautiful country and love you guys. Knew that anyway. I learned your dad's and grandparents. Sorry, I am not a judge in anyway. You are beautiful people. My opinion.
I am somewhat new to the Jawtooth universe..but this might be the best short line video I have seen from you. Great camera work and commentary. Appreciate these videos very much.
Now this is what we call exciting! To see a locomotive not being able to make it up a hill being divided in half to continue the trip. Cool. Love this. Love hearing the radio dispatch.😊 Boy that second half was pulling pretty hard. You did good .. 👍😊
Nice video of this heavy Cincinnati Eastern train having trouble making it up steep grade in Williamsburg, Ohio, Jaw Tooth! The two engines were working hard to get the loaded stone hopper cars up the grade. The lady who backed her car behind the gate before it came down did not have to go through that maneuver. She could have easily driven across the tracks before the train arrived at the crossing. Moe than likely she thought that the train was moving faster than it was moving so she opted to back up behind the gate. I am glad that you caught this train before Daylight Saving Time ended so that y capture the doubling of the steep grade in Williamsburg, Ohio.
Or paranoid that a cop would see her cross against the active crossing lights. I was a passenger in a friend's car in Chicago Heights, Ill. a long time ago and we came to a RR crossing. He slowed down before the crossing and we were about 30 feet from the tracks when the crossing lights came on and you could see the train was still a distance away. He locked it down right there and backed up to avoid the barricade arm that was dropping while the car behind us hit the left lane and flew past us and crossed the tracks. I said "Wow man, you had plenty of time to get across. What's up with you?" He said "My dad had this happen to him here once and he went on and crossed the tracks. A city cop a couple of cars back saw him and the cop pulled out and ran the crossing lights himself to stop my dad and write him a $500 ticket, so yeah I'm not gonna take that chance."
@@larrywalker7759Wow! That was a hefty fine for crossing the tracks in the Heights. In the past I have seen a lot of cars go around the gates at Park/Lincoln Avenue in Dalton, Illinois. I never saw a Dolton Police car pursue anyone for going around the gates even though the Dolton Police Department is right there.
@@thomasmackowiak The incident where I was in the car with my friend happened around 1990. I am not sure if we were actually still in Chicago Heights proper but he and his family lived in Chicago Heights. As to the veracity of his story all I can say is that was what he told me. He also told me that if you ran out of gas on the freeways in Chicago that you would pay a $500 fine and your car would be towed. Maybe this was just his style of embellishing stories or something but I had no reason to think he was not telling the truth. I know that nowadays in highway construction work zones we see signs warning a $500 fine for speeding.
Great video as always JT . That sure was some load they were moving. They should have had a helper DMU pushing at the back and probably would have made it up the gradient.
The CE power was sounding good pulling that heavy train up the hill! 😊😊❤❤ I imagine the crew was rather embarrassed when they got stuck. I know I would be! 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
Approximately eight cars behind the locomotives was an old Soo Line car. As someone originally from Michigan's upper peninsula that was a treat for me to see.
That was awesome Jaw Tooth and watching enjoying too and beautiful locomotives too and enjoy the side show too AWESOME VIDEO 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😃😎❤️ beautiful country too AWESOME VIDEO Jaw Tooth
That Mt. Orab Porta-Potty probably has a lot of train movement stories to tell. We set our clocks back two weeks ago. I guess that explains the lighting difference. We are on Central Standard Time. Those CCET locomotives sure are looking 'swell'. Golly. Hey! Señor Jaws. Whose fault is the stall? I lost my sunny-side up eggs for breakfast here. Had to flip 'em and go fried. Now that means putting jam on my buttered yoke-dipping toast. Breakfast potato patty is kinda crispy in my deep frier. Needless to say, the bacon is cold. But, you did warn us in the title. It's on me, isn't it? Bad day all around for the CCET, Williamsburg and Puebla, México El RobBreakfast (Desayuno). Anyway, gracias por tu video. RT sends...
Awesome horn jaw tooth in Ohio buckeye state two locomotive miles long heavy grain cars weather blue sky cloudy outside love trains since was little boy relax no commercial at all bless you keep bringing new videos during the holidays thanksgiving and Christmas season
Thank you for another excellent video this time covering one of the many operating issues faced by railways. 🙂 Here in the UK somebody would be standing outside a manager's office waiting to be called in to explain why sufficient motive power was not provided! 🤔
I can only imagine what it was like when all those spurs were active! That said, I’d love to see the whole line active again, with a lot mor business. Hopefully they will get so much more business that they will reactivate the position light signals and of course get more units!
A friend of mine used to work for the N&W. He had several names for that road--the "No Way", "Nothing Works", or "Not Worth" it! LOL! He was a brakeman for the N&W.
FANTASTIC CATCH! The stall,as it happened,splitting the train in two,delivering both sections to the yard! THIS IS WHY WE ALL WATCH YOUR VIDEO’S. THE BEST ON YOU TUBE!❤❤❤❤
It's much appreciated the work you put into these videos. The clarity on this one is stunning. Good catch of the train stalling. These small railways are interesting.
Jawtooth: a question for you - when u were showing the old ns sign, near the end of your talk, I could hear in distance a sound like an old steam engine blowing its horn. Was I mistaken?
Old telegraph poles with glass insulators and wire still attached, but obviously coming down, how extremely rare is that. Most places those would all be shot up and the copper wire vandalized. That along with the old RR signal is a history lesson in the making. Fine video JT. Much appreciated!
I Love that Color scheme on those Locamotives. We also have a new Excursion in Stanton Va. Our First. I have heard they trying to acquire a 4 -8 -4 Baldwin or Southern Made Steam Engines to pull in the future. Totally Awesome. The Trips are staying Full up right now you can't even get a ticket for it . One route uses the old Ivy hill Tunnel near Charlottesville Va. Off old route 60. Check it out when you can.
Yes, thanks, she is fine. I take her on rides a lot but not as much when I film trains because she gets so excited that it makes it difficult for me to film
Cool signal tower 😊. You can tell it's old. Surely the dispatcher knew the weight of the train prior to picking it up. You'd think they would have sent a DPU also knowing the terrain.. 😮
Great grain train footage Jawtooth! Love them old signal's! I would've loved to saw that line back in the day! Thankfully it lives on as a great short line! Thanks for sharing!
Great catch of the CET SD40 and GP15 pulling a HEFTY consist of cars! Its unbelievable how the slightest grade can affect a train to make it stall. But when pulling Grain and Stones and you roughly figure every 5 cars is a Million lbs will certainly make a locomotive struggle. Nice job as always JT and always enjoy seeing the CET short line railroad working hard! Cheers from Delmar, Delaware my friend.
@∈ x ∈ the SD40 has 6 axels and the GP15 has only 4 and of course its shorter. When pulling a consist of cars the SD40 will always be the lead locomotive.
Good morning from your German fan, and to all railway fans, have all a nice weekend. 👍 🇺🇸 🇩🇪.
Ich bin in Schweinfurt geboren und in Bergrheinfeld aufgewachsen. Wohne schon 64 Jahren in America.
Hello Germany
Thank you and wish you a great weekend . My great grandmother was German , gave me a good start in life .
Your black cat is cute. We just took in a black cat a couple of weeks ago. Black cats aren’t scary. They’re awesome AF😂
I counted 16 grain cars and 2 railroad ties and 20 rock hoppers. Now, that's a HEAVY train!
I had to look twice to make sure of the count. Great train and outstanding video, sir!
You got that right! I miscounted . Thanks for the correction
Good morning awesome video
Locomotive was working HARD. Great stuff man.
Well, whoever put out the slow order wasn't thinking about a rock train :) No lack of action that day! Very cool :) You are right about the time change - it would be dark already.
Your knowledge, hard work and dedication is why I keep watching your videos. Keep up the good work.
Ccet great short line great train action antique telephone pole wiring signal lights very cool video thanks Jaw tooth
Great catch! 38 cars is more than the single digit numbers they were pulling last year which is a sign of growing business. Neat catch between this train, signals, and history there!!
Great luck catching the stall, thanks for waiting out the double too! Glad you had a friendly crew as well.

That's live action son! Turning 1 train into 2. Nice.
Good Morning JawTooth and Mrs JawTooth
Another AWESOME video
Good morning!
Unfortunate occurrence for the crew, but it sure made for interesting viewing. Another good video.
Great video keep up the good work God bless from GA stay safe
Another grand video…..as always! Thanks Mike!
Yes on the insulators P.R.R.Embossed their insulators B and O did and a few other railroads did also. Thumbs up on the video.
They need another locomotive 😂 great video again from me in Lancashire, England, UK.
Thank you very much for this very nice video to start this weekend very well! ✨✨👍Merci beaucoup ! 🙏
Where’s the old general electrics when you need them?
Thanks for helping the crew and any crew when their are operating issues, good man…..ms~~~
They had a heavy load! They need to get a few more 40-2s. Lol That was a great video. Thanks for sharing
You would think that knowing the steepness of that hill that they would throw a couple of helper engines on the heavy trains.
Good video Jawtooth

Glad you enjoyed it!
Love that opening. Look at how compressed those springs are! I always mess with my mom - tell her it's fall forward and spring back.
That was a great video good job.

Hi Jawtooth, You have great Christmas and New year. You kept me going.
Thank you from Scotland.
Happy holidays!
That grade looks impressive!
The local, state and world famous jaw toofie. Great video son.
Yes! Thank you!
Good and bad news on doubling the hill. Good to see an increase in revenue traffic, bad slows down operations. They need another 3000 hp unit.
Boy that wore me out just watching!
Darn good work Jawtooth!
Glad I got to see this one. TY for all the work that goes into making your videos.
Glad you like them!

Mesmerizing! Your camera work gets better every time - Thanks!
Thanks for watching !
This shows the shortline railroads have more of an advantage than the major ones and the lines are saved from being ripped up.
You was in the right place at the right time again ... Good catch Son ...
Hi You can't miss that low rumble of a diesel engine. I can almost feel it in my chair. Love your videos. Larry

Old telegraph poles with glass insulators and wire still attached, but obviously coming down, how extremely rare is that. Most places those would all be shot up and the copper wire vandalized. That along with the old RR signal is a history lesson in the making. Fine video JT. Much appreciated!

Stayed for trains 🤣
The little CCET with BIG and heavy train, coooooooooooooooooool. Greetings from Berlin/ Germany. Sven
Thank you very much! Greetings Sven!
Amazing video man! I really enjoyed it! 👍🏻🤘🏻
Fantastic catch. CCET needs bigger locos. Thanks again for sharing
Thanks for watching
Maybe they should've at least kept the old IMRL SD45-2 that used to be on the CCET.
I Love that Color scheme on those Locamotives. We also have a new Excursion in Stanton Va. Our First. I have heard they trying to acquire a 4 -8 -4 Baldwin or Southern Made Steam Engines to pull in the future. Totally Awesome.
