    In this video, you'll spend some time on CSX rails in northern Kentucky along the LCL Subdivision. Watch trains cut the town of La Grange, Kentucky in half as they roll down Main Street. Later on, you'll also see rare trains and locomotives - like a GP30 slug set and the track geometry train near Cincinnati.

      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

    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.

    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

    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!

    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.

  • @TheTwabster
    @TheTwabster 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    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.

    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?

    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.
