- Norfolk Southern Freight Train Running In The Middle Of 6th Street In Augusta, Georgia! The railroad runs more than a half mile right down the middle of Sixth Street on the Norfolk Southern line. It looks like a trolley line running in the road but full size freight trains use the tracks a couple of times a day. A hundred year old railroad bridge is at one end of the street running track and a railroad wye for CSX is at the other end. The line that wyes off of the street running track has more trains on it. We stayed the night on the 8th floor of the Ramada By Wyndham in Augusta to see how many trains use the street track. Only one street runner train went through in the night and it was at about 4:44am. I filmed part of it for this video. It only had about 40 cars. I saw several CSX trains in the distance on the other line but they were pretty far away. There was a short movement in the middle of the next day but I believe it was only a light engine move. The train in this video is an empty intermodal train that I filmed a few years ago when I visited Augusta with my son. There just aren't enough trains running here to make it worth a visit. I visited the nearby freight yards and found the Norfolk Southern Heritage Unit sitting in one. The areas around the freight yards did not appear to be safe and my wife wouldn't get out of the car so I decided not to stick around those areas.
Filmed February 22, 2022.

Beautiful Augusta great video of the train
Another great place I'd love to go
A little street running action Son ... Nice catches my friend ... Thx for posting ...
Yeah! Love a street running train! And a street train at night as well :) That would be the only drawback there - if there are folks living along the tracks and then the horn blasts at night. Not ideal, but it is a street runner so I would love it!
Four forty-five am? The residents must love that!
Probably, Lolz
I love seeing them run down the middle of town
Me too. Thanks for watching! I wish the track was busier
@@JawTooth I understand. Railfanners want non-stop trains. I bet the town's people don't.
THIS is the best train video ever. Love that horn echo.
Thank for the video JT!
I see the traffic lights are tied into the train.
You didn’t say which way the night train was going but looked loaded.
It is hard to believe. I know I am a foreigner but this is really something. It is nearly touching to see a very slow train passing those trees, cars and houses. Thanks for the Video, Jaw Tooth.
Yes, you are right, it is really interesting. I look for street runners
@@JawTooth Please keep on going doing so. I do enjoy your and also my DDoT (Daily Dose of Trains).
Nice ol’ Georgia town, LOVE GA for that, the old well maintained buildings, manicured lawns, street plantings, nice and homey, and that great trestle! NICE CATCHES!!
Wow nice video! I have never seen a street running train on NS before. Very cool!
THANKS FOR THE TOUR OF AUGUSTA AND THE INFO ON CETAIN LANDMARKS .. GREAT JOB JT
Our pleasure!
We have a nice street running line in New Bern, NC, but it’s a “No Horn” zone.
Who needs a Wake Up Call when you’ve got an NS in the morning! 😉
Norfie certainly knows how to pick good reading material. 😊
I think so too!
Cool old trestle over the river. Weather looked wonderful. Thumbs up.
Thanks 👍
Jaw Toorh if you’re near Greenville Ohio next to Greenville Union Cemetery. There is a train than curves near the cemetery and runs along the road then over a steel bridge. My wife has family resting in the Cemetery and great Uncle that designed and built the mausoleum near the tracks. KitchenAid has an outlet store in town too.
Love those street runners
Brings back memories, as an early teen hitching rides on the trailer piggyback flat cars. Penn Central was running from Providence, RI, to Boston, MA.
Another great video!! Thanks brother!
2:02 mark: looks like a 1957 Chevy station wagon, i.e., greenish car. I didn't know that the term station wagon for cars back in the day came from the 'station wagon' used at railroad depots.
Saw that, was crazy painted with flames, too! Awesome catch!!
As a young boy I had one of these as a model Corgi US Post Office car
Looks like some kind of hot-rod Beetle at 1:58. Thought it was a 40s sedan at first, but looks like a VW.
Very cool live street action! 👍🏼👍🏼
very nice view and the picture of the entire 1912 build railroad bridge on camera is awesome
Thank you very much!
What a nice trip! You got to see a lot of trains down in Florida and Georgia. The street runners are real cool to watch. Wish i lived in an area like that! Shoutout to Chessie and Norfie and the rest of the gang. I see Norfie is catching up on some rail news, haha. Thanks Jaw Tooth for the great adventures
Thanks for watching! Yesterday, Norfie got a toy fish in the mail from a viewer. That was cool and I can't wait to film her playing with it
Sorry they are mvps than my life,I'll pull back my activities here
Nice trip thanks for taking us along. Chris from England.
As Brian noted, I'm guessing the 4:45AM train is popular with the locals! 🙂
Ralfans don't care😁👍🏻
@@pawpawgator I hear you!! 🙂
Pretty sure its the towns official alarm clock.😎📢🔊🚝
Don't need a rooster.
Either the neighbors don't mind it, it's their alarm clock, or they wear earplugs to bed.
I used to wear earplugs to bed when I worked nights, so I could sleep. Otherwise, every little sound would wake me up.
That particular engineer is really heavy handed on that horn.
Hi there, glad you made it to Georgia! Right across the trussle is Aiken County SC. That's us !
So cool! I didn't even realise that at the time. I only have one video from SC and that was from a few years ago
What a nice road trip nice 2 see all the trains looking 👌 great 👍 👌
Glad to see you made it to my hometown! Fun fact is you rode the house Woodrow Wilson lived in as a child. His father was the pastor of First Presbyterian Church right across the street from the house.
Very cool! I'm glad you took a trip down south.
Us too!
Now I have another reason to want to go to Augusta. Before this, it was US 1, the Tri-State Route 121, and perhaps I-20 nearby.
I grew up next to a C&O (CSX) mainline and the whistle sign. That early morning train reminded me how that you can become unaffected by even train horns in the middle of the night.
I love that street, it's very interesting. Those C44 have already been converted to AC....
Awesome! I heard they did that to about a thousand of them
@@JawTooth - Yes, those were already rebuilt to AC....
Wow! Longest Street Run ive ever seen. Great little town 💙
It really is! I filmed longer ones in West Virginia and Ky
Good morning I enjoyed that video👍👍
Good excellent video, mr Jaw Tooth.
A bridge builded in 1912 man that bridge Isis 46 years older than me . And that is the first bridge? Wow man!!!
Greet from Zandvoort the Netherlands.
Good video Jawtooth I live in Trion, Georgia. It's a long way from Augusta, Georgia for me. Like seeing street running Trains. Have a Good Morning and a Great Day.
Amazing videos jaw tooth keep up the good work
I was born and raised in Augusta , Georgia . Augusta wouldn't be the same to me without hearing train horns .
Another super video! Love that old trestle! Street running train brought back memories for me. As a kid I lived in Northern California and the tracks went up the center of First Street. And I just realized that for a lot of years my dad was the only engineer who ran the train thru town. The yard was in Eureka and he would have to go around Humboldt Bay to several towns where there mills to pick up lumber. Then he would retrace his route back thru town to the yard and make up the freight trains heading south.
Looks like you and Mrs. T had a great trip.
That was a nice ride along Sixth Street in Augusta, Georgia in your rental car. I liked the video of the street runner from you past trip of Augusta, Georgia. The night video that you took on this trip was interesting to watch. Thank you for uploading this video for us to watch.
Glad you enjoyed it Thomas!
Yep, the trains run right through Eighth Street, downtown. Kind of amazing in this day and time. We have Norfolk-Southern and CSX both, in and around Augusta. NS tracks run right in front of Club Car, and right behind Mullins Crossing shopping center. You can park in the back, behind Ulta and Kohl's, and you can almost touch the trains when they come by. Glad you came by to visit.
Sounds great!
I worked at Club Car for 14 years and I've seen many trains go by. Right after Desert Storm a train came by hauling 92 M1 tanks. I believe those Club Car tracks are CSX. Another day in 1990ish, a huge storm came through and washed out a trestle adjacent to Club Car property that had been backfilled decades before. The rails were left dangling in the air. CSX visited Club Car soon after begging for dirt to put under the dangling track. The executives of Club Car, still realing from the loss of our beloved coworker and his wife for a work time accident at the ungated crossing, agreed to give them the dirt...on the condition CSX install crossing gates. Unbelievably, they would not install the gates after the tragic accident but agreed two years later when they needed the track back up and running.
Thanks for sacrificing some family time to enable recording the night train 🚆
Looks Norfie has some great bedtime reading 📚
Glad you enjoyed the seaside😉
You sure get around, JT. You said, in an interview with Shoestring, that you cover the sites and situations which others don't, and that's great.
I was in Augusta on 2/19 and I totally missed this, I guess I'll have to go back now! I miss when the track on River Street in Savannah was still active, feeding coal cars in to the power plant on the bridge end of River Street. The power plant isn't used anymore and last I saw was being converted into a community center or something of the like.
I stayed in a room with a view just like that! My friend owns the American Dime Museum!
Nice video Jawtooth I'm glad you've traveled that far just to film trains for us that's some pure determination there dude 😀.
Yeah thanks. I wish I could have had better luck at Augusta.
I'm from a town west of Augusta when my family would shop in Augusta, always look forward to see the trains run up and down the street. Coming from the SC side when they cross the bridge.
Hope you had a great visit in Augusta, did you find a BBQ spot?
Very few of these street running train routes around anymore, very cool to see a different location than the Lagrange, KY one keep up the good work and stay safe
Glad you enjoyed it! There are several more that I visited and struck out. I struck out in Owensboro, Kentucky and another street running town in Pennsylvania
@@JawTooth that’s okay, I think the one’s you do catch are good enough to cover the other’s you missed, keep ‘em coming I’ll be watching
@@JawTooth I saw your video of the Newell crews street running in Elizabeth, Pa……👍
Two fully loaded centerbeam cars and norfie closeup 💕
Who would have “thunk” that the Home of the PGA Masters (Augusta, GA) Tournament would have a Street Running Train ? 🤔👍
I was there a few years ago when the Masters was going on. They tripled the price of a motel room. They wanted $450 a night for a room during the Masters
Should of found the yard that NS and CSX had their OCS trains parked in. That’s one of the events that they send their OCS trains to, along with the Kentucky Derby and Super Bowl.
Cool street running, love that crossing under the bridge
I do too
Awesome video JT and nothing compares to STREET RUNNING TRAINS in my book! Hopefully one day I'll make it to LaGrange,Ky or where you were in Georgia to see this. Thanks for making the trek down South to explore to capture more railroading videos for us!
thanks for watching this video Shawn!
@@JawTooth hey btw, what's the average train count that runs through LaGrange daily?
@@shawnpowell5876 About 7 or 8 every 24 hours
Only the US and Japan seem to have trains that run on city streets, and that's pretty cool!
We have one in Gretna, LA on 4th Street. Gretna is across the Mississippi River from New Orleans.
@@billmorris2613
Really! I'll search TH-cam to see if I can find anything. Thank you!
We used to have street runners in the UK....
th-cam.com/video/x6XEVvVRB_4/w-d-xo.html
Antélio Monteiro Abellan Search for, “Incoming street running train to McDonaghville, Gretna,Louisiana.” I have run a few trains down that track myself.
@@Lookup2Wakeup
I haven't seen it in the UK until now. Thanks!
OMG, good morning Georgia !!!
I counted 31 cars and compartments, all empty, on the first train.
I've actually been there where you filmed that street running train. That place in Augusta is called the River Walk, and I have a photo of me standing in front of a Norfolk & Southern locomotive as it was coming off of the trestle. I lived in the Augusta area for a very short time.
Standing in front of a train does make living very short. LOL
The train was at a complete stop. It was sitting on the trestle, waiting to proceed.
@@meyertkg lol I am sure that the train was stopped. Unless if God forbid the person is suicidal which must be awful! I know because I have been there but I thank God He pulled me out of such a horrible mental state. Anyway be safe and well out there?
Nice video Man
Pretty cool find there!
Thanks for the video and chat. The pets are looking great! 👍🙂🇺🇸
Love those street runners! Not many left around. That bridge is amazing as well! Thanks for another awesome video, JT! Safe travels!
Thanks Brian for these great staged vlog, and this is also the real US. The train runs straight through the town, and Augusta is not a small town.My wife and I have seen this by ourself, and it's not harmless the train in a busy town.No one comes to the idea to turn the rails around the city.What works works, why changing?Thanks for the pictures and greatings from Germany 👍
Looks calm and quite awesome ❤️
It looks like there was a industrial spur off that track at one time. They kept the rails in the small park and there is vague pathings that travel along the river, it seems (but uncertain to what industry was served)
Great photography!
BUEN DIA QUE BUENO ESO DE LOS TRENES POR LA CALLE,AQUI ESO NO EXISTE,GRACIAS.
You just cant beat a street running train ! You could have nearly walked with it -it was that slow moving ! They could do with a no train horn before 7am section ! Another Jawtooth and Mrs tooth classic!
Regards
Awesome place Jawtooth! That's a good long stretch of street running there! Looks like you had a great trip! Thanks for sharing it with us!
Just something about a train going down the middle of a street that’s crazy cool 😎
Street running tracks is cool 🔥🔥 you can just sit in your car in your room and watch the train go by
You know a lot about trains! I know a lot about railroad crossings! I like the videos you make! By the way can you post the video from last years the train one whatever you said in the video?
The train horn was waking up the whole neighborhood at 4:45 AM.
It was loud, Lol
Very good excellent and nice vídeo from your Channel. We are together l left like registared with The Bell activated for strenghaten our friendship.
We are together Strong hug from Brazil
Jaw Tooth, I was surprised to see you in the comments on WWOT with that auto rack losing its truck. He's got a cool channel like yours. I was putting your name out there in his chat and some people knew who you were! 👍
"Keep the video going, son!"
I was left to only imagine the train crossing the bridge, THIS is what i wanted to see.
What an awesome video Mr. JT. Keep those videos going and thank you...Richard 😎
Great shot of the street running track!!
Какой красавчик!🤠👍👍👍
Nice to see you here in Georgia, JT!
I bet it was tempting to just hop aboard going so slow
Augusta is beautiful where you were, don't see many street-running trains any more!
No, they have almost all dried up. Not much freight at all goes through there anymore.
I'm pretty sure the train that derailed in Graniteville in 2005 and had the chlorine release that killed several people and destroyed a textile company would have travelled down that track. Also, the far side of the river was originally Hamburg, SC, the destination of the first commercial railroad in the US. The founder of the town hated Augusta and built the railroad to try and divert freight (mostly cotton) to the port of Charleston instead of Savannah where it would have gone from Augusta. It is said he was buried standing up with his back (and behind) facing Augusta as a final insult. Hamburg died after several serious floods.
Love the street running videos, very cool
Nice shot of the city street/train Gives some. dimension of traffic. every dimension of. railroading combined. with traffic Awesome to say. the least Another fine catch
JT. Keep em comming
I love the street runners!
That is cool street runner thanks for sharing great videos
Thanks for watching!
Very cool street running train. Thanks for your dedication, Jaw Tooth.
Thanks for watching!
It seems to come thru town every time the nightly news is doing a live broadcast.
Very cool street track in Augusta. Looks like you had a nice southern trip.
like all the historical signals,markers ,buildings in your videos , but love the trains more
I'm in Walkerton, Indiana a track splits the town in half then crosses two main CSX tracks. The main tracks are busy in the late afternoon. Mostly been coal or cargo containers.
As the old slogan said Southern gives a green light to innovation as well as traffic signals which cleared quickly after the train passed thru. A very impressive bridge. Does it still.open for river traffic? In the block before the bridge in addition to the stop ahead and parking times is a sign proclaiming Yard Limits which probably confuses motorists. That consist had 5 unusual Trailer Train cars that may be just the frame for an autorack as they had no container brackets or 5th wheel for trailers. So like in golf you were just playing thru and you should be rewarded with a green jacket. Floral design of course!
by the way it's always a pleasure to see streetrunning trains. in the Netherlands we also had this type of railactivity but an act by gov made a direct end of it nation wide in 1983 sadly.
I have a playlist with a lot of street running trains. They are slowly disappearing in our country
is this also cause of safety regulations in the states they don't want trains in human area's anymore?
Imagine living there and being woken up at 1/4 to 5 every morning by that train horn.
We have A Wye like that in Fayetteville! Norfolk Southern goes right up Hillsboro Street, the Other goes to Ft. Bragg.
Great video of the street running train
Thank you very much!
Strange how the EOT light wasn't flashing.
Excellent video JT!!!
Thanks!
@@JawTooth You're welcome!!
Looks like you and the wife
Had a enjoyable and peaceful vacation
