I love hearing railroad history. Glad Witold is staying cool, I'm watching from Rhode Island. We've been in a heat wave the past 3 days including today. Supposed to have thunderstorms later and it will cool off after that. Have a good weekend!
I’m the conductor on the job. My wife and o honeymooned/first anniversary in England. We were on a train that I believe went through your area. Can’t wait to return!
Great video, love the history of railroads in Utica. My husband & I watch from Charleston, SC. Missing your videos, hope all is well and you will have another one soon.
Thanks for the history & documentation of current operations. As a member of the NYS&WT&HS I worked on the BDRR out of Phillipsburg, NJ for several years on the old Bel-Del. Now retired & living in Alabama, I enjoy the views from the NY/NJ area. Nicely done, sir....
Hello from Los Angeles!! You mentioned something about canals in the area. If you could at some point do a video on them would be much appreciated. Thanks!
I'm also very interested in canals. Here are three videos I've made th-cam.com/video/JAciPazeaC4/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/HO5YcL2mp6o/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/VVQBHFKAhOw/w-d-xo.html
Always interesting, I loved the history of this section given at the beginning! One thing: I noticed the image @10:30 was reversed. The numbers on the locomotive gave it away, but when I first saw it I was confused ... until the image pulled back and you were shooting in the mirror. Had me going there... 🙂
Today it will be in the low 70s in Milwaukee with low humidity so a good day to be Trackside. Thanks for the quick drive along the tracks to get our fix of Street running. Unless it wouldn't release it sure sounded like someone left the emergency brakes on while pushing the TBOX car. Even Witold couldn't sleep through that
Always enjoy your videos as they show conditions vastly different to railways here in the Uk. I'm watching from South Wales which was another huge coal producing area back in the day. All gone now though.
Sounds like a box car needs some oiling. Get that oil can with the long spout and get oiling away. Really enjoyed !!! Thank you !!! From the Queen Village
SO happy to see it wasnt you who was hit by a train this week!!! I know you and your beautiful dog Withold are way too smart to get too near the tracks!!!P.S. good to see 3040 again! I miss my apt on Schuyler 😢 i loved going out to wave at the guys as they went by. My cat misses em too😢
@@jimdep6542 it's not just that he didn't hear it though. If he was taking pics like I heard, he KNEW the train was coming! Even if he was deaf, you can feel the shake of even just an engine going down Schuyler St. I don't get it. I hope it wasn't an intentional thing, cause you know the crew got shook up badly! You just can't stop them like a car,truck or even a bus. I pray for them all!
@@lisabishop6266 I agree.....but I don't think it was intentional. He might have been tempting fate by hanging in there long enough to get the video or still shot he was hoping for. Obviously not worth the risk. I don't get it either. I always feel badly for the train crews too, who have to live with the memory. There's nothing else they could have done. Prays to the families for God's comfort.
It varies but they’re usually out of the yard and on Schuyler Street between 9-10:30. The return trip can occur anytime between early to late afternoon depending on whether they make the 46 mile round-trip to Sangerfield.
Well, they usually only switch the brewery once or twice per week. There’s no set schedule that I’m aware of. However, usually they do head out of the yard between 9:00-10:30 M-F
Good too see you are well and thriving. For those who don't know on the night of july 27 a man was struck by a csx engine and they did not reveal his identity. Also I'm in clark mills ny
@railroadingrambler218 Yes very sad. Very dangerous to be on tracks. As big as they are, when these machines are moving, one second they are not there, the next second they are in your face. I saw some girls laying on tracks by platform taking pictures once. The station guard had to tell them to get off the tracks.
Thanks for the name @railroadingramber218. Yeah I saw a few people taking pictures of themselves on the tracks at rome but then they got scared away by an amtrak on the other track
OMG, my friend told me about that last night, so I was google searching like a mad woman!! But since he just filmed this on Fri, and it released today, it wasn't our favorite Railroad Rambler!!!! The accident, from what I was able to find, happened on Mon or Tues.
That was a great history lesson. During a slow work season with Con-Rail I was employed by the NYS&W based at Little Ferry, NJ. Walter Rich was rehabilitating the rail through Smoke Rise and Sparta, NJ. I worked with two carriers until I transferred my rights to NJ Transit. Several others followed me over as well. I enjoy your coverage of the northern end.😎🚆✝
Love watching Utica trains from Nashville, Tn. I used to walk those tracks 60 years ago.
I'm 69, and living in Knoxville, Tn. I was born, and raised, in Orange Co. NY! Thanks for bringing me home! Great video!
Pretty hot there in the south , I see. I can't stand that much humidity;.
I will never get tired of seeing trains going down the street. Great video and history
Thank you for sharing Utica, BY, street running.

Hi Railroading Rambler, I'm just catching up with your fascinating videos, watching from York (the old one, in the UK)!
Thanks for the bit of history! Always interesting!

Another fascinating and enjoyable video. But was those boxcars being moved with the brakes on? What a racket. I'm from central Illinois.
Hello from Mooresville N.C. I love the mirror shot, I couldn’t understand why the writing was backwards, and then I saw 👀
Looking in from North Yorkshire, England.
Today it will be in the low 70s in Milwaukee with low humidity so a good day to be Trackside. Thanks for the quick drive along the tracks to get our fix of Street running.

Right past West End Brewing/Saranac Brewery....some of the best beer (and soda) in the Whole Wide World!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Nice bits of history

Glad you enjoy my videos, thanks for commenting!

oiling away. Really enjoyed !!! Thank you !!! From the Queen Village
What you hear is flange squeal.😎🚆✝Also, the engineer is running with some air for the braking system on the yellow TBOX car.
@@garykuipers2696 Thank you for explaining what I am hearing. I appreciate it. I did not know. 😊😊

Same here. I feel badly for the guy's family and friends. I don't quite understand how he didn't hear the horn from the train that hit him.
@@jimdep6542 it's not just that he didn't hear it though. If he was taking pics like I heard, he KNEW the train was coming!

Watching from Schodack
Hi from NJ
I'm in Santa Barbara area of southern California, born and raised in NYC. I was in Utica for six months in 1970. Get some oil for that box car!!!
Toodles from Belton, MO! Can't blame Witold for preferring to stay in cool AC vs. HHH!
...from Holland Landing Ont Canada..what time of day do they make this trip?
It varies but they’re usually out of the yard and on Schuyler Street between 9-10:30. The return trip can occur anytime between early to late afternoon depending on whether they make the 46 mile round-trip to Sangerfield.
Is there a schedule when I could catch a delivery to the brewery
Well, they usually only switch the brewery once or twice per week. There’s no set schedule that I’m aware of. However, usually they do head out of the yard between 9:00-10:30 M-F
Ft. Worth, TX 😊
Looks like it is headed over by my house to change tracks.
Good too see you are well and thriving. For those who don't know on the night of july 27 a man was struck by a csx engine and they did not reveal his identity. Also I'm in clark mills ny
They found out who it was.
I know that but I haven't seen the name yet

Hey rail rambler sounds like they didn't release the hand brakes on the rail box
Those "industrial tracks" look to be in terrible shape. "Rockin' and rollin' " on crooked-y track. Thanks from central North Carolina.
Somebody local was killed while filming trains can you please reply so we know it wasn't you
