- Train SPEEDS past KIDS playing on the street!!! Does this seem safe? Fastest street-running train...Filmed in Elwood, Indiana fall of 2023
Parents not doing their job, and if, Gor forbid, something were to happen, who do you think will get the blame?
Even if the parents had the best legal team, the railroads in America are pretty powerful. Usually settlements are just a minor bump on their radar. Messed up.
The parents get the blame because it's federally illegal to walk on the tracks and ballast.
Not to mention, the train crew will have to live with it as well
This is why parents need to watch their kids playing outside if they live right next to the tracks. And if something were to happen of course they would blame the railroad for hitting the kids when they should be watching them to make sure they are playing safely around the tracks

Looks like she was in her driveway looking at the train going by??? Kids believe it or not have a sense of not jumping into something, they stand back sheepishly and observe. I'd be more worried about a grownup in a hurry, going around the gates, trying to beat a train at a road crossing first, not trying to spill their cream latte.
@@vaborn6457 she came running down the alley to the street when she heard the train and none of the cross streets in the neighborhood have crossing gates.
I think it's very cool to see huge trains run through towns and cities streets like this we have one that runs through down town Tampa in Florida and it was very cool i really enjoyed watching the street runner.
I overheard one of the kids saying I love trains!!
@@armageddonera1pack639 yes they were all excited when they heard the train.
@@therailroadtiespiker and Guess what So am I for life and forever Trains 🚂 are my hobbie and Entertainment
Parents fault for kids being in the street. Train SPEEDS? The train is doing as we railroaders would say a fast twenty 😆😅😂🤣
@@CharlieKrampitz it’s crazy the parents don’t pay attention to their kids
Great videos, thank you. I’ve loved street-running trains since I was a kid with free access to both the Rock Island and Missouri Pacific RR yards. My Dad worked for the “MOPAC” and my Scout Master/Youth Pastor worked for the “ROCK” and we were taught the dangers of trains and rail yards. Some of my happiest memories growing up we spent in those two rail yards. Neither I or my three brothers were ever injured in all our times in the yards. Vietnam was way more dangerous than those rail yards ever got and a whole lot less fun. Love the 23,boxcars in NS’s NS20. Enjoy watching the future railfans playing and watching.
@@curtisdavis5556 thank you Curtis for watching
My Parents were Helicopter Parents but many of Today’s Parents Don’t want to be Bothered. Trains can be Very Dangerous if you Don’t Learn to Respect them. 🤔👍
Wrong, most parents today are over protective. Back then their kids would go everywhere without out them
Two things I noticed that would bother me greatly if I lived there is the train seems to be going a little too fast for a residential area and the second is the presence of placards, indicating hazardous materials.
@@williamjones4483 they run loaded trains carrying fuel several times a week through there.
Life is full of risks including walking along a street or riding in a car. We had a double rail line a block away & spent much time along the right of way. There was also a street runner on our way walking to school. There are more worried people now.
Yes its safe . As long as the children are taught right . But today parents are the problem
I mean come on dude, even us adults messed sometimes. I think I wouldn't trust myself parking my car next to the street tracks. Factors like loose parts from the train or even derailment would messed up your day. A lot of us in the comment thread agree that train should go slower overall.
I wish i had a train running through my backyard so i could play on the tracks without having to leave the house. I wouldn want it in my street though as i always park crooked and sticking out.
@@devonodonnell6443 lol well you would learn how to park. 😂
It’s not the speed it’s the derailing I would be worried about!
What came first, the neighborhood, or the houses? Many generations of kids were raised there. Just don't have your head up your azz.
@@johnschultz9023 the neighborhood came first by about 20 years before the track from Muncie to Frankfort was laid down. The NYC track that used to run north and south through town was laid down before the town was established.
Wow a great big freight train 🚆 going down the middle of a street 🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈, put things in perspective seeing 👀 one of the carriages passing the car next to it, I'm sure the houses 🏘 must vibrate a little, I agree watching the kids very uneasy viewing, great captures 👍👌👏
@@trevorcooke8129 thank you for watching… I’ve talked to a few of the neighbors and they say that the grain trains are the loudest.
"must vibrate a little..." only a little?
If kids in the 1950s can co-exist with trains running in the streets, so can today's kids. All they need is their parents to teach them to stay out of their way.
I seen an engineer he looked just like you he looked exactly like you at first I thought it was you but it wasn't he was in an NS train going westbound
@@danguilz-je8ch lol
How many times a week do they run through there ? They might need an updated " 8th Ave Cowboys " solution that the New York Central used many decades ago when they had street running in New York City before they built the West Side elevated " High Line ".
@@williammcgeehan3424 4 to 5 trains a day. It’s a mainline for NS
@therailroadtiespiker If they run any more than that, they're going to start looking at building a bypass line to get off that street running. They're probably looking at options now, including shared track.
@@williammcgeehan3424 they have the only track in about 20 miles either direction and they have been running like this for years.
to me it's just crazy. i know they were there first and all, but why not a reduced speed zone....
As the saying goes…whenever there’s tracks, thinks trains…and parents should keep their kids in the yards not in the street. Luckily that wasn’t a car going at a much faster speed
Very very nice thats pretty cool keep up the good work
@@ronfogarty3888 thank you Ron for watching
That's crazy how fast that train is going.
They can legally go at any speed they want except for trains that are hauling hazardous cargo.
Trains are hard to control. If there is a grade coming up and you're going slow, you're in for a problem. So maybe the train was moving at track speed, not speeding.
@@whattowatch7908 the train was moving at track speed because if they go over the speed limit they get in big trouble by the railroad. Now for hill or grades this is a very flat area of the state. Thank you for watching
Just a thought but maybe the parents shouldn't let their kids play in or near the road
@@davidstewart5694 that would work but neighbors complain when the kids ride there bikes through there yards. My thing is CSX does 10 mph through La Grange on there street run and NS does between 35 to 40 mph in Elwood and Warsaw Indiana on there street runs.
Great footage and double mid helper DPU action!🛤🚂
@@ChainsawNW1218 thank you for watching…
I love trains but I really don't think I'd want one running through my front yard. Dangerous to the kids, you bet. But I can only imagine what the vibration does to all these houses.
Yeah, way too close for me! As for street running trains, way back in the 1960s, my dad would take me with him to a factory in Indiana that attached truck bodies to the chassis. Dont remember the name of the town, but the Nickel Plate Road ran right down the middle of the street. There was more than one occasion where my dad had to park on the street close enough that i could reach out and run my hand down the side of the whole train. Ahhhhh❗NOBLESVILLE INDIANA❗
And if my memory serves me correctly, the NKP engines sounded different from the GP-7/9s, they had a more throaty sound to them, and may have been ALCO units❗ Anybody out there want to confirm that 🤔?
Awesome love those street runners
@@carlossanchez-kz4wh thank you so much for watching
@@therailroadtiespiker you're more than welcome
I can’t live like this because if the train deraileds than everything going to mess up
Not safe at all but that being said if you have railroad tracks in your town your kids are play on them when they start getting a bit older like 12 ish or even earlier if they have an older Brother. Railroad owns the property and they have their own lobbyists of course that make it just fine for street running trains through even cities even though people could be harmed or killed. They don't give a shit.
They will just pay the family of the deceased off and move along. . I hopped trains when I was a kid to get to the village below and above the city I grew up in which is not a city anymore. We lost a lot during my young adult years as the rest belt was already developing by the time I turned 18 in 1976. Of course I did grow up when men were men and most boys were men by the time they were 16 or 17. Now it seems to take them until their 30's to grow up. Sad but true. Nice video, I love trains too!!! I personally think they should have to obey any reasonable request by a municipality and I do not think chain link fence on both sides of the tracks in areas with a lot of housing is unreasonable but that's also a double edged sword for wild life. So what do you do. Hard to chase a deer off the tracks or a bear or anything else if they can't get over the fence. Humans have enough sense to know they can't win against a train. Even kids seem to get it. Big, heavy, not much chance of life after being struck by one and especially after being run over by one.
I did a little research on the NS speed limit through Elwood, Indiana. The speed limit is 30 MPH including the street running.
This gave me heart failure...I dont like street running to begin with...where it occurs there should be speed restrictions in populated areas. You'd think the engineers would have enough consideration to go slow in case they need to make an emergency stop.
I love street running trains but i really think the trains go too fast on this street. Would cars even drive that fast down that street? We have 20mph zones in UK on some roads. Thanks Ty ❤😊👍
@@Carolb66 the speed limit on the neighborhood streets in Elwood are 20 mph and the trains do 35 to 40 mph. Thank you Carol for watching….
First off why aren’t the parents watching the kids and second off what is the speed limit through this area?
@@csxtrainfan319 35 mph for trains cars is 20 mph. La Grange Kentucky street run is only 10 mph
KID SHOULD NOT PLAY ON THE STREETS that’s like the number one rule of childhood kids should not playing the street regardless of trains run on them
Ok first of all bad parenting to have them unsupervised
Second If these parents find out what happened put the blame on yourself and not on the train
The tracks were there far before you were
And Third WATCH YOUR KIDS!!!
What im wondering is, why is the train going so fast as a streetrunner
@@connorgiove7090 that’s what I’ve been saying for the last few years. They do the same speed in Warsaw Indiana
Maybe because people want their produce fresh? . I bet these people are the first to complain when their package doesn't show up . Also nobody forces them to buy a house on the railroad tracks. Just a bunch of Karen's
@@colinwinogradoff6794 no one is complaining that live there
Since when do trains run through neighborhoods?
Around the 3:10 mark the train speed instantly doubles. Before that the train was moving slowly.
@@billmorris2613 well they got closer that could be what you’re seeing when I zoom out and zoom back in.
@@therailroadtiespiker I have watched and made many videos myself of many trains where they / I zoom in and out and the speed of the train does not appear to change. The speed changed instantly at the same time as you zoomed in then back out. I watched one of Jaw Tooth’s street running videos on this same street. The speed does not appear to change when he Zooms in and out. From my research the speed limit here is 30 MPH for the whole town. The train does not exceed that 30MPH. In fact some of it appears to be going 15 to 20 MPH.
@@billmorris2613 just look at the leaves they are still moving at the same speed. I asked a good friend of mine that works on that line and 35 mph is the track speed. I’m sorry your eyes are playing tricks on you.
@@billmorris2613 when you have a lens zoomed out it makes the object you’re filming appear going slower because of lens compression.
It's best to deviate the line away from residential areas.
@@antonyproductionsiii2339 it wouldn’t be profitable so you know the railroad won’t do it.
Do not call me on this because I could be wrong entirely but I think these tracks once belong to either the southern or one of Norfolk Southern predecessor railroads and then the town was built and instead of having the tracks go around the town they just had to go Street running
@@lowellvillerailfanproductions Nickel Plate then N&W but the town was there before the line was by almost 20 years.
@@therailroadtiespiker *shrug* i think speed limits when it comes to street running depends on the length of the street running and how much traffic there is but I'm only guessing at that
@@lowellvillerailfanproductions it’s only about a 150’ shorter than La Grange and they run about 20 mph faster the same in Warsaw Indiana
@@therailroadtiespiker huh interesting like I said I don't know much about Street running because I don't live in an area that has any Street running
@@lowellvillerailfanproductions a lot of time towns where built around the railroad and street run track was common before trucks and cars. Street run track made it easier to load and unload goods and passenger cars.
I never fart on Sundays. 😊
the real problem is why run an active railroad streight through a neighbourghood at all let alone let the speed limit go higher than like 10 mph
17:20 hope the kids didnt see that!
Who builds a subdivision on an active rail line?
@@shauntakata1762 it’s more like why did the railroad put the track down the street because the street was there almost 20 years before the tracks were laid down.
@@therailroadtiespiker My guess would be corruption. The RR figured out that down the street was the cheapest point A to point B solution and they made promises of tax revenue, community investment, etc. to the city leadership. Plus the usual political campaign contributions. This happens frequently with sports stadiums in large cities like Miami where the city (i.e. local taxpayers) often ends up footing part of the cost as a bond. The residents of the city never seem to benefit unless one considers more traffic a benefit or being able to sell hot dogs and beer in the stands. :) In fact, the price of homes close to the stadium can actually be driven down because people don't want to live next to that mess and it becomes hard to sell a house.
My question why would people buy a house on this street, then complain about the trains. 💯 blame the families for moving there.
@@colinwinogradoff6794 know one on that street is complaining…. There’s some of the nicest people I’ve met why’ll out filming.
15:48 was that a shave and a hair cut ?
@@cjtrains714 yes
What does that mean?
That’s crazy. Those street running trains should be required to travel much slower.
With as many tons as they haul how long do you think it would take them to stop even at 25 MPH
Does this seem safe, you ask? No. I won't judge how this town ended up with a track going right down a residential neighborhood and street but it was a very bad idea for many reasons. Safety is probably the least worry given how much the loco blows its LOUD horn. Good luck to the homeowners if/when they try to sell these houses. Corrupt city leadership is probably the reason these tracks were built.
@@minerran there is a house for sale on that street but my wife said no in so many words. 😂
The railroad was there long before the houses were , a very long time ago when trains became a thing towns and shop owners wanted to be closer to the trains so they can get their goods faster and so people can go from place to place faster because they hopped onto the trains.
@@josephbennett3482 actually that rail line came through about 20 years after the town was established and that street was already there.
Kids shouldn't be in the streets.
The trains have right-of-way they got a job to do , the parents need to watch their kids knowing that they live around an active railroad.
@@josephbennett3482 we all have jobs to do so I really don’t understand your comment.
First off kids are not supposed to play in the Street while there a train it to dangerous
@@gregorytaylor240 in the perfect world but you also need to understand it’s a neighborhood street not a main avenue.
train should have a speed limit of 10 mph in any residential area
@@john6218att they do about 35 to 40 mph on the Warsaw street run to.
That 10 mph speed limit might not work like imagined because diesel electric locomotives don't have automobile style transmissions & there is a minimum speed rating for an amount of time on their traction motors before heat and eventually electrical issues arise.
@@scottfw7169 they do 10 mph in La Grange Kentucky and they only do 10 mph from Marion Indiana all the way to Kokomo every time they bring a grain train into town.
Spent 38 years working on a yard engine and the speed limit was not to exceed 10 mph . harrodsburg KY has a main one through he town and the maximum speed is 10 mph. I think your a little off . the time restriction on the traction motor wad not to exceed a certain amperage in a hard pull. Can't remember what it is know .
Its not safe when the childs 10 feet away from the tracks. Smh 😕
What...the kids will play in the street dodging cars but for some reason a loud train is more dangerous? Perhaps if parents would teach their children about the dangers of the roadway, we wouldn't be having this discussion! The train on the street is a non-issue. Stop playing in the street!!
@@johndettmann6785 I guess you didn’t grow up in a small town or on a neighborhood street. The train goes right through a neighborhood not down a busy main avenue.
And another thing, what family would buy a home that has class A train tracks running down the street?
NS doesn't give a shit about kids safety one bit!
