There really is. It's as if a train just doesn't belong... not a heavy auto rack train, or a coal train for that matter. But each train makes it presence known and makes it through safely. What's funny is how when the nose first comes into viewing appears to be creeping through esteem 5 an 10 mph. It's not until the lead units pass by that you realize it's moving faster than what it first appeared
I live in a one stoplight town in upstate Ny. I’m across from an old spur line that runs 2 trips a day of 10-15 hoppers and tankers. Some people would consider it a deficit but for me it’s an asset
Love the footage showing the trains crossing the Ohio in Covington, really is amazing how drone footage can give us modellers so much more detail to view that cannot be seen from trackside or from angles that are totally inaccessible.
Thank you, Drayton, for documenting these trains. The addition of the earlier video at LaGrange, Kwntucky added greatly to this video. That was a great idea to add the footage from the hotel in Covington, Kentucky of the CSX trains crossing the Ohio River between Ohio and Kentucky. Thank you for all your efforts to provide these wonderful videos for all of us to see!
Awesome, this is very cool to find a town that has an old style flair with street running trains. I could spend all day sitting in the bed of my pickup truck with a lounge chair, watching the show!!
I agree this is the most friendly town I have ever visited. I have talked with the former mayor and active mayor just by waiting for train to come. Everybody in town knows when you're train enthusiast when you're holding a camera. I've just had random people walk up and talk for hours on end about the trains that come through Lagrange from the locals. I have even met up with some of the local rail fans that are on the virtual railfan chat daily. Some days I don't see any trains but just being there is worth the two hour drive. Whenever I head to Louisville for a train show or other things I always try to find some time to stop in Lagrange
Meanwhile in Europe... You rarely need to wait longer than a minute for any train to pass. Also, the irony of trains carrying cars regularly blocking car traffic.
A very nice video of CSX trains! It is really interesting just to see that there is still street running on rails especially in a small town like La Grange! I would like to go down there to La Grange, Kentucky, sometime just to see what actual street running on rails is like in person! That would be really cool!
I enjoyed my visit to LaGrange. My wife and I spent our honeymoon there last year and enjoyed watching one of the trains from the street parking just to experience one of these beautiful trains close up.
Great Video Content as always Drayton of the CSX Line in LaGrange KY to Cincinnati Ohio I love the view from Downtown Cincinnati when trains crossing the historic Chesapeake Ohio bridge over the Ohio River…..
great video as always small correction, Q352 runs north on the Toledo Branch, turns West at Galatea and works North Baltimore before coming west trough Deshler on the Willard and Garrett sub
It is so wonderful to watch this!!! Thank you so much for the wonderful video!!! I also can't help but think that I would hate be the poor SOB with a heart attack waiting in an ambulance to get to a hospital. Then again, I would be dying to the comforting sound of a train.
Awesome Job Man. I’ve watched you since I was about 4. You’ve always inspired to me make a TH-cam channel as well. Keep up the great, high quality work!
Interesting video. I have sat here in my home in the UK watching La Grange from the virtual railfan cameras sometimes as well as looking at various US rail fan sites. It is how I passed time during our lock down. I think that you really get a very different perspective on this video as you stand in the street and get to appreciate how surreal it is to see a train so up close while passing inches away from parked cars. BTW, did you know that the static steam engine on display in La Grange is also from the UK?
Reminds me of a story a college roommate from Hammond told me. He said the reason John Dillinger never robbed a bank in Hammond was because of the number of trains. Even into the 80s, there were many street level trains, and quite a few famous interlockings, including State Line Crossing.
The great thing about trains in close clearance situations, is they don't swerve much, so you can be fairly confident the train won't hit you or cars. But dragging equipment or a loose load with banding or chains could pose a threat. Do they have a dragging equipment detector before Lagrange ? Could create a mess some day.
I'd seen the cam but didn't know all this stuff. Great video. I wish you'd shown the British steam engine at their museum better, I had no idea that was there. This really does seem to be like a neat town for train fans!
Used to visit family in Cincinnati and remember seeing trains on the bridge the old L&N bridge no longer there the N&W pea vine past the sugar factory on Madison Rd also gone good to still see CSX crossing the bridge
Great coverage of this nice downtown rail corridor!! Comments & info always appreciated from DIB narration. Only bummer: the city vehicle traffic bridge is making the rail bridge look bad for fresh paint vs rust "paint" over a similar blue ...
Having just watched the first 2 parts of your video I have one thing to report. WOW, it is terrific to watch film/video made by a person who understands the whys and wherefores of camera control. Not the gobbly, jumpy, zoom in/zoom out crap made by idiots who think that they know it all re photography because the " GOTS DEM A CELL PHONE PITCHER TAKER. LCG
9:14 - car signals left turn, oblivious to the oncoming train. Last we see of the car, it's still signaling a left turn, even though there's a long train in the way.
You guys should check out Tamaqua Pa. There is a town you go thru that has a train that goes thru that has an old engine sitting in it and has an old train station that was turned into a restaurant
I first saw street running in LaGrange. I had in-laws that lived there and saw it first hand when I visited them. This is something that is nearly nonexistent in the Pacific Northwest where lines like the Great Northern, Milwaukee Road and Northern Pacific avoided this at almost all costs. I suppose it helped that most of these railroads had land grants from the government that also avoided city centers.
Great video! 29:16 referred to as a 'wholecar' is usually done with roller paint and covers 'top to bottom' and 'end to end'. Been working on a documentary with writers and they say there's an unwritten rule about autoracks, and that they should only paint them if they're empty. any writer caught painting loaded autoracks should have their paint taken away and will probably end their writing career there. Of course it still happens, but there's stories about people getting beat up for painting loaded autoracks by other writers. It is quite rare for overspray to reach the actual vehicle itself as they have about 2 mirror's distance from the side of the car. Hope you enjoyed the useless fact :D
Just imagine if one derails in the middle of town- town destroyed. Or if a little kid runs under one as it’s passing through the street. There is something fascinating and terrifying about this at the same time.
I just caught a CSX empty coal train leaving Howell Yard in Evansville Indiana being lef by 3130 but it was pulling what appears to be five brand new csx engines. They are number 7244, 7243, 7242, 7240, 7241. Are these brand new engines?
@Shaun Myburgh From La Grange to Crestwood, and from Anchorage to almost Osborne Yard are considered “Quiet Zones” which means that No Train Airhorns are blown.
@@DelayInBlockProductions Excellent videos. I’m not a strict rail fan but I enjoy learning about trains and I find your videos extremely well done with excellent production values. Thank you.
Solid under rated channel, production quality is like a documentary. +1 sub from a Chessie System fanatic
There is something magical about a train traveling through the heart of a town. This is awesome.

In Oakland, CA the Amtrak service runs down the street. th-cam.com/video/RHL7uOr0Rc8/w-d-xo.html
it seems kind of dream like to have a train going down the middle of the street like that
not if you live there.

The shots from January of 2016 are absolutely gorgeous! Trains and Christmas go together so beautifully in such a picturesque fashion.
I never get tired of admiring the trains sharing the same space with cars. From Brazil!
One of your best videos. The aerial footage at the end is outstanding -- beautiful!

I watch the Lagrange KY cameras all the time on TH-cam. & It never ceases to amaze me how many people try to beat the train there..
What an absolutely fantastic video! Very well produced!
Glad to finally see a professional video on Lagrange, I grew up watching trains there. Great work!
Trains teach patience... a tough lesson in America. CSX 9969, nice... impressive bridges too. Thanks, DIB.
Are you an engineer?
Meanwhile in Europe...
You rarely need to wait longer than a minute for any train to pass.
Also, the irony of trains carrying cars regularly blocking car traffic.
@@0Defensor0 smaller land mass, more densely populated. Trains make sense there.

"Sharing the road" just went to a whole new level
Very nice video. Thanks for posting, and greetings from Southampton, UK. Our longest trins are about 800 yards . . .😀
It's amazing to watch a Class I American railroad share a downtown street with cars and people.
Excellent video really enjoyed watching it keep up the great work thanks again and hope you have a wonderful day
great video as always

Awesome video. I drive to Dayton once a month fron Evansville, In. I always go through Louisville and up 75 to Cincinnati.
Beautiful aerial photography with a wonderful cityscape background!
He did a fantastic job. Wonderful architecture
Drayton, we're just all Shiny Happy People watching your videos haha great job!
This is one of my favorite spots to Railfan on CSX's LCL Subdivision! Very nice shot
This is so cool. I live about 45 minutes away from here. This is so amazing to watch. Great video Drayton!!
Great narrator,easy even for me to understand.thanks from sweden.👌👌👍👍
Thank you. This comment made my day. I am really OCD about my narrations. Thanks for watching!
9:35 can't help but notice how the bell is in sync with the red car's blinker :]
I thought I was the only one! Crazy how that happened
The blinker has a bell chime

WOoooow....The Quality. 😊

But dragging equipment or a loose load with banding or chains could pose a threat. Do they have a dragging equipment detector before Lagrange ? Could create a mess some day.
This is both mesmerizing and terrifying to me. 😅❤ There’s something very unsettling about seeing a train come down a street.

Nice I've seen La Grange on the VRF Cam and Jaw tooth TH-cam videos.
Christmas start there early 😱But very lovely to see this trains running on the street!
Early Christmas decorating is terrible! Disgusting.
What a tremendous spectacle!
Great video, I’ve watched this 3 times now, that bridge out of Cincinnati is incredible! Love the views from the bridge and Lagrange!🚅
Wow! What a sight,, seeing it trundle thro the town.!
Awesome..
25:50 The autorack with REM on it is kinda funny considering that band had a song about trains (Driver 8, whose video features the Chessie).
This was quiet the documentary, I love it cause Its when i was still cold now its just hot and muggy.
Used to visit family in Cincinnati and remember seeing trains on the bridge the old L&N bridge no longer there the N&W pea vine past the sugar factory on Madison Rd
also gone good to still see CSX crossing the bridge
Awesome video. I caught that geometry train at Wagner siding pikeville Kentucky
@9:38 it gives you a good size comparison of just how massive trains really are.
I love when the trains go in a city!
Great coverage of this nice downtown rail corridor!! Comments & info always appreciated from DIB narration.
Only bummer: the city vehicle traffic bridge is making the rail bridge look bad for fresh paint vs rust "paint" over a similar blue ...

I've always wanted to go trainspotting in that town.
Great video Drayton, hoping to see some CP documentary's in the future. Keep up the great work man!

I remember as a young kid watching the Western Pacific going down 3rd street by Jack London Square in Oakland, Ca.
Hey, I was there. In fact I drove you there and you were standing on the roof of my old Durango.
Great video, and now I've watched it, "I feel fine" 😉
👍😎👍🇬🇧🇺🇸 MDS
Love those REM jokes😂😂😂

I was down in that area several years ago when I visited the Newport Aquarium.

Maybe they could employ some of those 'writers' to paint the steel super structure of the C & O Railway Bridge. 25:16 and 43:55
Have you ever been to Pittsburgh? Go to station square and you can see CSX pass by
usually they go across a street , not down the street--i love this
a parte mais emocionante deste video , foi escutar as 2 GM roncando na ponte !
Hey. Those trains are running all the stop signs. Lol
I always wanted to be a rail fan like ya
very pretty town especially with the trains runnung through it
This is cool. We have a few sections similar in Oregon on the PNWR.
was that a standard cab dash 8 i spotted? i thought csx got rid of those.

Hi Adam. The 7200 series CSX units are rebuilt, upgraded AC4400CW units. All are rebuilt from the CSX roster of AC units.
@@thomasdupee1440 thank you for the info.
Another great video as always.
By chance do you have any plans on coming to Southern California
Great drone shots at the end!
I like train videos on TH-cam 👍
Good Job Drayton. 👍
Lived near here for 11 years til this past April. Fortunately I was a few miles south in Buckner, so I could avoid this!
Surely the town needs to invest in some overpasses if trains are getting this long.
@Shaun Myburgh From La Grange to Crestwood, and from Anchorage to almost Osborne Yard are considered “Quiet Zones” which means that No Train Airhorns are blown.
Awesome video! My home line!
what's the speed limits? enter town slow and then pick up, the end looked 20 plus at least by video?
Photography is outstanding. How did you get the elevation on the shot near the clock in Lagrange?
We were filming from the balcony of our hotel room at the Radisson. Thanks so much for watching! That means a lot.
@@DelayInBlockProductions Excellent videos. I’m not a strict rail fan but I enjoy learning about trains and I find your videos extremely well done with excellent production values. Thank you.
I'd love to visit the towns railroad museum, to see the railroad and the town in the early years, before cars.
And the train conductor says: take a break, Driver 8.
I’m guessing that street running has been happening in LaGrange for a very long time.
Mantep banget jalur keretanya.. . Di jalan dan bukan di pinggir lagi, tapi udah di tengah-tengah jalan.. .
What's on those bulkhead flats going over the bridge? Look too light to be steel, too heavy for lumber. Some sort of bar stock?
If it hasn't been said yet, 7th street, Augusta, GA has a train run trough the middle.
I've been fishing before right underneath that bridge
Amazing video, best regards, +
I did not know an AC unit can be coupled to a DC unit without power inconsistency.
