- I Discovered An Abandoned Railroad Bridge & Abandoned Track In The Woods, Radar Used On 2 Trains & Two Norfolk Southern Trains Knock Down The Signal In Pennsylvania. CSX & Norfolk Southern Trains In West Virginia, Kentucky & Ohio Featured In This Special Video.
I was northwest of Cass, West Virginia by less than an hour when I stopped to explore an old bridge over a river. After I walked over the bridge I discovered an abandoned railroad line that I didn't know was there. It is totally overgrown and the ties are rotted out. I followed it a long way along the river and found an old railroad bridge over the river. This is an old coal line that has been closed for years and years. Does anyone know anything about it?
Next, I am at the oldest house in Walton, Kentucky. A CSX train is running north on the Short Line to Cincinnati. I used radar to check the speed of this train and the next train. The next one was in Somerville, Ohio. Look at the difference in speeds! I get a lot of requests for the radar unit so occasionally it is brought back out.
After that we take a trip to Cresson, Pennsylvania to check out the Pittsburgh Line. This is Norfolk Southern but used to be Pennsylvania Railroad. This is actually old footage that I did with the Millenniumforce crew back on June 27, 2020. We see two Norfolk Southern eastbound intermodal trains knock down the signals. I hope everyone knows by now that this is railroad jargon for having the signal drop from green to red as the train passes it. I love using railroad jargon. If you know of some good jargon for me to use just leave a comment and I will use it. I learned a new one from a viewer in the UK. Hooning is when a train is going very fast. I like to say Booking. Lol.
The pets are next and then the slide show that also includes another fast Norfolk Southern train in Kentucky.

After doing some searching it appears that the abandoned line was the former Western Maryland Laurel line that last saw use in early 1990s. The line was built by the Greenbrier, Cheat and Elk around 1910-1914 and was later bought by the Western Maryland. In 1986 when CSX was formed they sought to abandon the line but the West Virginia State Rail Authority bought the line from CSX and made the West Virginia Central Railroad. This new railroad is the owner 132 miles of track including the GC&E but they do not operate between Webster Springs WV and Spruce WV.
The Abandoned Bridge was a spur for a coal tipple
THANKS FOR THAT INFO!❤
Ditto! Great sleuthing on your part.
Nice information thanks I love history like that
Awesome, thanks much!
Excellent information!!! Big Thumbs up 👍
I love seeing abandoned railroad lines more than active ones now, and getting the history on them is even more fascinating.
I was going to say the same thing.
Thres a old rail road track were I live well this week they started tearing tearing up rails only thing still exists old train station which converted to a coffee shop&gift shop and mini museum
country roads, take me home 🧑🏼🌾
It sure is a pretty state
Mountain Mama!
This concrete bridge you're walking across jaw tooth looks like a pretty good fishing spot and a place to sit down and relax and more it definitely has alot of deteriation and glad no one is driving across it
Good Morning all.. Have a great week!!
Positive Thanks
Good Morning 🌅🌄
Good morning!
Good Morning haven't heard long time ++
I love the shots of the creek ❤. When I was a kid I used to spend hours and hours playing under a bridge over a creek about half a mile from home. Thanks 👍 for the memories. 😊😊
Awesome! Sounds like good times
That old, abandoned bridge was cool looking.
Tracks look good.. Send it!
You go through a spider web every twenty feet and the weeds are pretty bad. I think nature won this time lol
a railroad overgrown with vegetation
so cool
Beautiful West Virginia.
I like visiting West Virginia. It is one of my favourite states
Judging by the vegetation that has invaded the platform of this old railroad, I'm guessing it's been many years since any trains ran here. How many years ago? Impossible to say, unless you remember the last train that passed through here.
Judging by the rails and wood rot; at least 50 years.
Really great how you found those old bridges and tracks. Like things like that! Always enjoy the videoing by that old house. Nice to see the old 🐕 playing with the pup. Still life in the old girl! Chessie seemed a bit put out by not being part of the fun. Mrs. JT caught a nice video of the squirrel. Lots of live action in the whole video. Hope you and the family enjoyed your get-away!
And a big thank you 👍 for the beautiful video today! 😊😊😊😊😊
Thank you too!
Awesome! Old tracks are always cool to examine! Like you said, it's a long time since they were used!
Thank you Jaw Tooth for this interesting railfan peek backwards. Left us history buffs with more questions that answers, but that’s what make history exploration so interesting. Love your commentary.
Good morning Brian!!! Nice old signals!!! Keep it up!!!
Hi JT, what a fab video so interesting the old tracks, the history of old bridge the stories they could tell! What a pretty find too. I could spend all day there! Thank you. ❤😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks JT. have a great day. 🤩
You're more adventurous than I am but it may be your location. We have chiggers and ticks but snakes are a real hazard when walking through tall grass. That path of boards could be from 'growers' who don't appreciate people near their crops. I'm happy that you didn't have any problems.
My first thought was of snakes, but you're right about growers (a sad state of affairs). Also a chance encounter with a black bear is a possibility. Having once contracted Lyme Disease, long pants, long sleeves, and a heavy dose of DEET are SOP for me. In that area, snake boots and bear spray would also be excellent safety tools.
That abandoned RR sure was overgrown. It’s sad when they just close down. That was some good train footage in Penn. I loved all those old train bridges too. Cool video Jawtooth. 👍❤️
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hard work paying off once again.
I always fast forward through the slow trains cuz slow trains are BORING, Mr. Jawtooth! I always feel the need for speed!
I have a lot of viewers who like slow trains. When I speed up the video they complain about that
Quality videos JT I try and watch as much as and as many as I can. 👍
Have a great new week!
That was really cool Jaw!
Thanks!
Very cool abandoned railroad bridges cool place Walton Kentucky great video thanks Jaw tooth and family and Scott
Thanks 👍
This winter when NO bugs on a COLD COLD No Snake day, REVISIT and walk the Rails as far as you can safely, It's a interesting RAIL HISTORY find,
I found another abandoned railroad in Kentucky that I want to film. Its not as far and more interesting
Looks like the trail is for brush hog tactors mower types and quad could cross that bridge.
Great look at the old abandoned railroads
exciting trains on tracks still active and
of course your dogs and cats,Thank You Jaw Tooth.🤠👍
🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🇺🇲💨
Many thanks!
@@JawTooth
Thank You and have a great week.🤠👍

I love old railroad lines especially when you find an abandoned steam locomotive or an old abandoned desile gp83 locomotive I've seen videos on here that have abandoned trains in the woods a good place I found for catching trains is Washington Street and 15th street in terre haute Indiana
Good video, thank you!! 👍🏼
🇺🇸❤🇺🇸
I watch you on the TV all the time so I finally pulled you up on the phone and gave you a bunch of thumbs up. We’re here in Redding California and there’s a huge Trussell here. God bless you keep up the good work.
Thanks for watching my videos! I like trestles
@@JawTooth look up Redding California and you’ll see a picture of it somewhere and also we have lake Shasta where we have the biggest double Dekker bridge the train is on the lower section of it and all the tunnels up north
Thank you for todays video. Always a great trip to take. See you on the next, Brain! 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome find of those abandoned tracks.
I remember one trip up to Pennsylvania one time, the mountain areas there are beautiful to look at since it's so north, too bad there weren't any trains near the area where I could watch
This other train trestle bridge looks like another good fishing spot alot of deep holes too
Cool, love the old abandoned places like that!
Such a beautiful find!
Merci beaucoup pour cette très belle vidéo ! 👍🙏
Always cool to find abandoned rail lines
Awesome video really enjoy watching your videos. Keep them coming
Thanks! A lot more to come
Such a great video !!!
It’s always great to learn about old abandoned rail lines a bonus for sure!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice historical find, thanks for sharing…
Thanks for watching
I love railroad archeology. I have a lot of free time on my job and I've followed almost every extant track in the US on Google Maps. Excellent video, thanks much!
Thanks for sharing! I love following the tracks on the Google Maps also. I usually put one in my videos to show where I was. My computer was messing up on me when I made this video or there would have been a map with it
I do that too for years now. I've followed many abandoned narrow gauge and old logging lines they are tough compared to desert lines.
Not only are the tracks "still here, though" but the rail looks in really good nick (I couldn't see any rust!?) It certainly is beautiful country along that river! It was interesting that as the speed increased on your detector from 18 to 23 you could notice the sound of the train speed up, too... collated well. Speaking of sound, loved the noise of the engines of those last two trains... really deep and powerful. Speaking of beautiful country, your home is in a great spot! The young pup is certainly good for the older dogs, brings out the "pup" in them!
That old bridge is fascinating
😊❤❤❤❤😳 Great video JT, amazing your fur babies so cute love the creek shots perfect filming I enjoyed watching ♥️🥰🤗💕💞💖💗
Cool place Abandoned Railroad Bridge & Abandoned Track !!! Interesting video !!! Thank Jaw!!!!))))
The Cowen Sub is (or was) a very active source of coal for the CSX folks to take to the Baltimore & Virginia Ports for export. The Cowen Sub is south of Grafton, WV where the coal trains from Cowens were assembled and moved east to the ports. The abandon rails you showed were probably part of an extention to the old coal fields.
Nice Railroad archeology! Families that rail fan together, stay together…
I'll have to check out these abandoned train trestle bridges sometime in the future
You found some good stuff. History at it's best. 😊 Wow second train bookin' 😮 beautiful scenery in this video.😊 I forgot your brown dog's name. She got Loki down for a challenge. They are all so adorable. Love watching them. Thanks again for a wonderful video worth watching Mr JT. ❤😊 Have a fun day.
She is named “HONEY”
Awesome video, thank you.
Glad you liked it!
I like the radar unit too. Just another interesting thing you add.
Great video and awesome catches jaw tooth
Thank you very much!
You're welcome
I love finding abandoned railroads
I'll have to check out these places sometime in the future
Nice to see the older one having fun also!
Indeed!
Some good artwork on those empty car racks!!
Amazing videos jaw tooth keep up the the work
Great, interesting video. Liked the abandoned tracks - lot of those hidden in my region. Funny dog-play today - they all really seem to like each other. Thanks, Jaw Tooth.
Glad you enjoyed it
😊 Good Video 📹 Mr. & Miss Tooth ❤😊!!!!
So cool Jawtooth! Thanks 😊
Thank you too!
I always like a good container train. 😊😊
Me too!
Great stuff.
It sure is good to see Loki bringing out the puppy in Brandi. ❤❤😊😊
Yes, it is nice to see her get some exercise with the puppy
Nice find!
Great video and awesome find Jaw Tooth hopefully these lines will see trains again and hopefully this and these train trestle bridges and the linie gets restored I wonder how long it's been abandoned
Good morning and the same
Good morning there!
Excellent video and narration 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you so much 😀
Nice abandoned find!
I was in cresson for the first time on August 7th and I can say i had fun there plus caught two heritage units on the same day
Ok this is super cool!
Good stuff Brian
Thanks 👍
24:00 Loki blends right in with your floor. Chessie too!
Yes, that is pretty cool lol
Interesting old train tracks 🛤
Love abandoned roads and rails. Wonder where those tracks led too. It's amazing how fast nature reclaims land. Thanks for the video. I hope you had bug spray on😬
Glad you like them! I have another abandoned railroad in Kentucky that I want to film
@@JawToothI think there might be some sections of the Georgia Southern and Florida Railroad that haven't been converted into a rail-trail or rail-trail bridges yet.
@@DTD110865How many rail trails do you need. I love to bicycle, but I won't ride 50 miles on rail trail...
Another good video!
Nice freight trains!
Beautiful country
It really is!
Awesome video and liked the old abandon tracks JT!!!
Thanks 👍
@@JawTooth You're welcome!!
There is a section of abandoned track similar to this in my region that hasn't seen a train since 1977. It was a Milwaukee Rd line that was that was always considered a "secondary" line despite being a connection between 2 other major lines and maintenance was always deferred. A shortline operated on the northern half for about 5 more years until they couldn't due to maintenance costs and a bridge Milwaukee still owned was embargoed. All the rail on the northern half was removed for a trail. The southern half is still there and a speedster group operates on some of it. 25:11 25:11 25:11
I had family in Richwood on my maternal grandfather's side, he was born there. Railroad ran both sides of the Cherry as you came down the mountain on WV 39. Where you were, that track may have been abandoned following the November 1985 record flooding. Too bad you weren't able to find a date for the rail, I thought you might've had a chance on that bridge.
nice little area
I enjoyed that video👍👍
Wow...that abandoned RR was so cool...when you say years, you mean DECADES!
I love it....Mrs. Tooth Video!!!
Thank you!!
Going to guess there might have been a house,farm or industry back in those hills that used the old RR bridge for access. Obviously not for a long while since both approaches to the paved deck have eroded considerably.
Good video Jawtooth
Great video Jaw Tooth
Think you need to Explore that disused tracks
if possible can you find out when the Abner-Gaines House is open,maybe you could go inside and show us the interior if they let you. That would be awesome. Have a nice day 😊🌈
The second Sunday of the month. I will do that one day
Another term for going fast, "Haulin the mail ". My dad use to say that.
😊Hai Jackie,nice to see that Eekhorn,🐿,coool,thanks for it,coool,🐿 greetz:🍐Peer.👍👍👍👍
Thank you! 😃
And nice catches of trains too
Thanks!
@@JawTooth You're Very welcome and whenever you drive through Newark Ohio in the future RJ Corman put in new gated signals at the East Main Street and East Church Street Crossings for Ohio Central I got to watch them install parts of it but the signals are all ready to go and sometime soon Ohio Central will be running Stone trains to St Louisville Ohio I'll have to go over to East Main Street and East Church Street to do a crossing tour there sometime
Really nice video JT. That was a great find of the abandoned railroad. I wonder if the bridge was set up for dual gauge or retailing. Nice colors on the signal lights.
Good question! The inside rails are guard rails. If a car comes off the track they are supposed to keep it on the bridge
Wow that’s awesome
Thanks!
Please go back again to the abandoned rail after the first or second frost and before it gets covered with snow, it would be easier to see and interesting too. Thanks for all the uploads, Jaw Tooth.
Hey Mrs tooth and tooth kids. Great video JawTooth. Love seeing the abandoned rails, they have history.
Glad you enjoyed!
@@JawTooth always do
Great to see the People America gd fun in with d trains
There are many lines in West Virginia like this. They usually go to abandoned coal mines or tipples or to anything similiar. Not uncommon for these to be found and lost again.
Yes, I found one two years ago near Maitland that I filmed and it still had a locomotive siting on it on a spur completely isolated
Route of the C&O/B&O that once served the logging industry around the Class area. RMC did some good articles earlier this year.
