Railroad Crossing Blocked 1 Hour As 2 Trains Passing! Train Stopped With My Truck On Other Side RR!

- 2 trains passing in Kentucky! The railroad crossing was blocked for almost one hour. This is the Norfolk Southern Railroad main line from Chattanooga, Tennessee to Cincinnati, Ohio know as the NS Rathole Line. It use to have a lot of tunnels and that is why it is called the Rathole. Most of the tunnels were daylighted in the 50s. First we see a huge mixed freight train come across the crossing and stop. It was still causing the gates to stay down. The train stopped to wait for another train going in the other direction. Most of the vehicles that pulled up to the crossing turned around and went a different direction but a few went around the gates. I didn't film the gate runners. I have enough of them on video. The train sat there for close to an hour before the second train finally passed it. The second train was pretty cool with all the old boxcars and a couple flat cars of new Case 250 tractors. We also see how big the kitty is getting. She has more than doubled in size. This video was filmed with my new backup camera on October 4, 2021 between Crittenden and Walton, Kentucky. Thanks for watching!

5:53 brake line repair
Thanks for pointing that out! I wondered what that was and that is the first time I have ever seen that. Would that repair have been made on the mainline?
@@JawTooth If there is nowhere to set the car out they would have to. Just to clear the line. get it to a safe place to remove that car.
Good set of eyes there.
I saw that as well. WWOT caught a train with that issue and watched them use the tubing to bypass that car with the broken air line.
Ok. I saw that white thing and I was wondering "what the hell is that rope there for?" It looked like a rope to me...or a hose...or something.
Well just cross over or grab a new tractor while waiting😄
The reason the gates stayed down so long was that the very last bare table had not yet crossed the shunt. The system still detected a train there. The train was 100' too long.
Rule #1 when filming trains: *ALWAYS* stay on the side of the track where your vehicle is located. You're welcome LOLOLOL!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 (PS - If the coast was clear at 11:18, why didn't you just jog over to your truck? -- Maybe I'm being naive in asking that question...)
Norfie 's growing and Chessie is just being Chessie ...😂😂😂 Good video Son 🚂🚂🚂
I'm surprised Jawtooth there was not a DPU in the middle of that train to help push it
Both trains were pulled by Norfolk Southern locomotives.
I vote for Chessie and Norfie to start their own channel. I'd give it a "paws up" for sure😻
Yes 🥰 I will be there for you if you want do it on my own but I don't think it's worth it
18:12 When I was little, we had a Cocker Spaniel who liked playing with the cat. The cat explained to the dog in no uncertain terms that she didn't enjoy it, but the poor dog never quite got the message.
That first train looked heavy with so many double stacks . No wonder it has three engines.
Another great video.

🧛♀️🧛♂️🦹♀️🦸♀️🦸♂️🧟♀️🧟♂️🎃
Great video and gates down for almost an hour those drivers really showed a lot of patience well done 73 VK6GIA
I don’t know what I like the most.. the train live action (with a lot of suprises and interesting things), or the Norfy & Chessie action. Thank you very much Mr. Jaw Tooth!! 😀👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
It's all one big happy family plus New kitty..... I love it 🤗
The bigger question is: Is the cat gonna be a professional mouser?
Who knows? Maybe Norfie is just going to be a cat living in the lap of luxury like my feral Miss Midnight the Feral Queen of the Office is! I caught her just lounging around on a cat bed a few times. She did a good job raising her kittens, so she deserves this!
My old cat is a professional mouser. My new cat is a professional rabbiter, although no slouch at other rodents: took ten minutes, but she nailed the invading mouse in my attached garage.
Norfie has already shown mouse prowess. Jaw Tooth has video!
There’s a train stopped on a bunch of crossings South of there now. Been there about 18 hours
Ahh, only a couple feet more for others. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 And I recall my lil Siouxsie the black cat she was small, enjoy while they are small, they grow up within a blink of an eye!
I get those tractors sometimes over here and they come from the west.
Good ol' International Red paint from Racine Wisconsin!
I like train videos on TH-cam jawtooth 👍
They slowed down to see if Chessie was with you!
Nice video as usual....Glad the cat is doing well... she is looking healthy....
Wow, you certainly get some unusual video JT. The cat has certainly settled down just fine with the dogs and your lovely family.
Nice kitty you got there. 18:37 - HEY! NO BITE!
12:13 haha nice!! Wish they did that for me.
That was cool! I had 2 of them in one day do that. Its good to see they still like railfans
At the end of the north bound train were some unused open 'all purpose' cars, anybody know what they are used for, when loaded?
Piggy-backs & containers
Lol one day that Kitty will say "But WAIT, there's more" love they way the woofer interacts with it.
This is the interesting things about Trains, the verity of info. Like how the Drivers book on and off duty considering the distances they cover, where the Coal comes from to which Power Plant, all this sort of stuff is cool and helps you learn about the US of A!
Excellent catch Jawtooth! Wow, that could have been a bad situation if some of those waiting drivers had run that crossing when the other train was approaching! Good thing a rail fan was filming, thus tamping down those over eager drivers who might have had the mind to do so.
my sympathies are with the drivers inconvienced for no good reason, and would in no way condemn them for taking matters into their own hands
Good one. Looks like some ties to be replaced. Loved seeing those new red tractors. Great shots of your pets. Kitty looking good and healthy.
Did you adopt a kitten
Norfie looks like she’s still scarfing down those cold cuts… she’s getting bigger every video…
😉👍
"Interesting" & "cool" are two words I bet those drivers waiting on the gates/train(s) were not saying! Lol!
A couple of them asked me how long the train had been stopped and one lady asked if I worked for the railroad
@@JawTooth
Lol!.......you must of looked like you knew what was going on : )
Hello again, UK in the house! You say that the train blocking the road for nearly an hour was "interesting"! I can think of some other words that the car drivers were using to describe their frustration. I understand how frustrating when a train blocks the road, but it is a real insult when the train has actually cleared the crossing and the barriers stay down. It is almost taunting the motorist to take their chances!!! Oh, good video BTW and now I have at last seen the Chattanooga Choo Choo, but suspect that it isn't the same one as in the 1940's song :)
I live close to a major train crossing and when the cross bar stays down the police will begin directing traffic through the crossbars one at a time until the railroad people get it corrected
Nice beautiful cat
At 5 minutes and 55 seconds in you will see car DTTX:469549 with an on the fly brake repair. They placed a hose from one end of the car to the other to bypass a brake failure of some sort till it gets bad ordered to the next rip track.
Thumbs up for the Kitty ,Son!
Showing the cat the rathole line, what a good owner you are! PS love the guitar intro very much
Good stuff Mr T. …..thank you.
I hope that made the local news for anyone that had to call in late lol
Neat video of these two trains between Crittenden and Walton, Kentucky. That was a lot of time to tie up that crossing. I presume that the people who returned the way they came had a long detour to go where they wanted to go. I doubt that there are a lot of railroad crossing in the area. Did you notice the white hose on the double stack car that came past at 5:54? That white hose was used to by-pass a broken air line on that car. The white hose was connected to the car behind the car that the hose was hanging on and the car in front of the car with the hose in order to keep the train air available to the whole train. Also at 12:28 there was a green Chicago & North Western Railroad boxocar with CNW reporting marks appearing in the consist of the second train. Thank you for documenting these trains for us!
That's one spoiled kitty!
As my railfan son would say JT when you said "the trains come through here pretty fast" you obviously jinxed it !! 😱
Commentator's curse!
Yep!
Awww... 😍 And here he was saying he wasn't into cats! 😄 😉
Awesome video Jae Tooth! Great catches!
There probably is a temporary speed restriction in place due to track work. The first train should have had a dpu cut in the middle for traction and to relieve the stress on the drawbars.
Don't see any reason to assume a temporary speed restriction: the first train was clearly going slowly because it was slowing to a stop.
Today CNBC did another piece on port congestion and container ships so this consolidation of merchandise trains comes as no surprise, we have no priority today, trains are just trains but i do see boxcars seem to be making a come back which i seem to want to think has something to do with trucker availability and the associated truckjng issues, its going to get interesting, i did my 40 years so I’ll just sit back and watch and hope my shelves do not go empty….Ms~~~
I think the dog is in love with the kitty great rescue 😄. Chris from England
Great train action and cute doggie and kitty action keep up the great work
Good made nice video, mr Jaw Tooth.
What a great video two long and mixed freight trains whit problemly a tree locomotives with technical problems.
Sorry that these train stopped and locked you from your pick-up truck.
Greet from Zandvoort the Netherlands.
Case tractors from Racine WI! 😊 Camera looks great! I dont mind if cars go past the gate if its clear that a train is sitting there but here in Wisconin there maybe an Amtrak on the other track doing 79mph. That has happened too many times.
Thanks for the info!
Interesting how both NS and CSX are combining manifest and inter / multi-modal trains. Saw a combination of 80 double stacked containers and 90 loaded coal hoppers on an eastbound NS train through Roanoke. Quite an extreme contrast between "modern" and "historic" freight.
A lot of railways are doing that. I've seen BNSF and UP trains done up like that as well. They will often have a locomotive between the two combined trains. It looked weird at first! PSR.
Their precision railroading.
Where is all of the rolling stock?
I travel quite a bit and the yards that I roll by are all virtually empty.
Everybody that I've talked to with the railroad, from signal maintainers to engineers, would not recommend hiring on.
The first train was 2 trains in one looked like mixed freight then intermodal awsome video though
In this situation I would say.......Stop,Look,and Listen.....before crossing.Cool to see those tractors on the train.
yeeeee haaaaa, at last some common sense in the comments :))
Unfortunately, not everyone uses common sense anymore. People are in too much of a hurry these days and common sense just seems to go out the window.
I’m impressed that you took that cat in. Most people wouldn’t have done that. Thank you
I am a huge animal lover. One time I took in a goat and another time I took a rooster from the dog pound. lol
@@JawTooth I remember one winter it got extremely cold. My Mom had baby pigs running around the kitchen and a mother rabbit and her litter in the oven. She kept them warm and safe. I’ll always miss her.
cats need homes too
💜...🐓🐱🐕🎸🛤️🚂🚃🚃🚃 Is golden.
We have found 5 cats in the last 18 years. The rest have found us!! Lost 2 dogs In 2 months. Dogs were always rescue dogs from the pound. Pets adopt people down here all the time. 🙃
Bit of MOW work going on -new sleepers and ballast all about ?? Nice crossing freights you caught there Jawtooth -always good action on your channel ! Was that cheeky last blast on the horn for you ?? NS guys must be used to seeing you about by now?
Regards
Did you notice that none of these trains had a caboose? What the heck is happeninmg to our country? no cabooses!!!!! Now say the train gets a hot box, or a busted air hose, or a de rail, who gets to walk 50 to 100 cars to find the problem? that would be crappy in the rain, or snow, or98 degree heat, Where did all the breakmen, go? they disapeard with the cabooases, Heres another bugaboo, how come they never catch the empty headed kids that paint graffety on the cars!
Norfies adorable..beautiful kitty 👍🙂
Seems like the whole line would be double tracked with how busy the line is.
It's ok I'm available lovv
It's ok I'm available lovv
What was that line hanging on the side of the flatbed rail car?
Pinned comment says it's a temporary bypass for a broken brake line on that car.
@@beeble2003
Thank you for information on the air line. I have never seen it hooked up like that.
@@jesseahner8473 Me neither. Learnt something new today _and_ was able to pass it on. 😀
"parden me boys, is that the
Cat thatchewed your newshoes"..veryslow choochoo
Thats snails pace
Captive audience, that's not cool, lol. Great trains though, thanks JT. 😀😀😀
Little Kitty has a Great Dad who decided to give Kitty a Roof over her head and Food in her belly.👍
Another good one thank you
At 830 that first train is practically crawling !
Awesome video jaw tooth Ohio buckeye state this ns train hauling butt on the track fast speed in a hurry beat deadline very slowly heavy cars bless you keep you probably they have over 300 cars miles long football field running slowly flat cars at the end of the train empty the railyard for that
Precision railroading would be great but unfortunately the infrastructure is not built to accommodate such long trains. Crossings get constantly blocked because there’s not enough distance between the crossing and signals. Communities should start suing the railroads and then maybe the investors will start listening. That’s also dangerous for the public.
True railfan indeed. I'm a railfan too. You must go to places or live near the tracks that have lots of train traffic. Very fascinating. I always wondering how they separate mixed freight, oil cars, boxcars, coal cars and container trains. I would love to visit a railyard someday.
Give your general location. Maybe someone will have a good recommendation for you.

@@smoothsmith1965 don't know that area myself. Maybe somebody else will chime in for you. Otherwise, check out djstrains TH-cam channel. He's an engineer and gives a lot of insight and does drone footage.
go watch distant signal's channel he has a video how they do that
In South Bethlehem, Penn., when there was still a steel mill and not a Sands Casino, if a train blocked a crossing for more than 5 min. the cops would give the engineer a ticket and they meant it. I watched the cops walk up and hand the engineer a ticket when his train blocked the S. New St. crossing for 10 min. That solved that problem with the RR crossings. The street level tracks along with the steel mill are long gone and it's now a bike path, so sad.
It is only a problem because they, City can't or won't Engineer a Road solution..... I see it constantly.......
@@ssmith9938 w
@@ssmith9938 Well the tracks are gone along with the steel mill and thousands of good jobs so it's not a "problem" any more.
That's why we lock the doors so they can't come up! Plus they usually have no jurisdiction on railroad property unless they're actual railroad police in which case they're not gonna issue us a ticket. Now if they caught someone out of the locomotive off the right of way then different story. They can stand down there and mean mug all they want but they're not getting up inside the cab.
@@richardlimmer9743 I was going to say the same thing.i hauled a load of coils out of there years ago.now everything is made overseas and we re screwed.
Nice live action two train catch !! That first train was going so slow at the end of it I nearly dozed listening to the slow wheels on the rails 😴.
👍 Fab video !! 👍
Dont understand why train stopped. There is a single track ahead?
Hehe, the train stopped right in front of the release contact of the level crossing. Stupid run for those who had to wait at the barrier. The second train also had German containers from Hamburg Süd with it. cool. Chessie pretends that the little tiger is her own baby, thats too sweet. But that's good that Tiger has a bodyguard. Greetings from Berlin/ Germany. Sven
Blocking road like that is how they get laws passed on how long they can block them. Covington had passed laws like that and they would ticket the train if they do block them.
Dog: lets play
Cat: ok
Edit: both of them are cute
The ending video with the pets are wonderful. Thanks for the video. 🦮🐈❤️😊👍🇺🇸
Thank you too!
Awwwwwww cute kitty cat :D

How can a train block a road for an hour? Isn't that a safety violation, what would happen if safety vehicles needed to cross and that was the only way and it caused someone in an accident or fire to die.
I'll tell you what JT, I used to be with a crew of train buffs who do cked here at a Bucks County Pennsylvania station,which is a CSX mainline to photograph and video freight trains.
Our line was good due to when the Baaken oilfields opened up in North Dakota soon we had BNSF pumpkin engines coming thru once a day with oil tankers.
Once a week we'd get CPRail Dash 9's and ES4400's coming through.
So it was worthwhile.
The comaraderie, great jokes,fooling around kinda like a deer camp was great.
But I grew sick n tired of seeing CSX's rusted out,greasy,ugly beer can engines coming by.
I dont like their blue paint scheme anyway but does CSX ever wash their engines?
Even now,their Tier 4 engines already look like they went down an embankment,into a creek with mud and pulled out.
I won't take a picture or video of one more CSX loco.
I sure wish they'd go back to their old "Chessie System" paint scheme with the kitten yellow,orange,and deep blue.
Now THAT was a great paint scheme.
Anyone else?????
At 5.56 there's a white hose along the side of the car. Appears to be attached to the air line. I wonder if the brakes are cut out on that car.
Yes, it’s cut out. That is a run around hose it’s used to bypass a car that has a broken/damaged train line.
I noticed that too
And this from the guy who said he didn't want that cat 😜
Holy cow 90% of this train was JB Hunt Trucking how much do they spend on Intermodal !! Creeper Creeper along !!
Couple of nice.catches Jawtooth!!! Surprised you didn't walk across to your truck between trains!! LOL. Be safe and see you on the next video.
I got another Jaw Tooth train today from Queensgate yard in Cinci, it was huge!
Awesome! They have been really running monster trains lately. They never did that when I was in high school and I use to sneak down to the tracks
She LOVES her Daddy!!! And her big sister !
I would like to see a video of Norfie walking under the ladder of an NS locomotive with the window glass broken!
I can't imagine what would happen if an ambulance (with a «client» inside) or firefighters on duty were stranded!
Yes and no an ambulance has the on board equipment needed to help sustain a patient if they have to do anything internal most fire fighters and ems are double certified and some get a little more as an RN so that is a huge plus and if need be they can also call for an emergency helicopter to help
The emergency services know where the bridges are and they know where to find another crossing if one is blocked. They also stick to the major roads -- the only reason an ambulance would cross here is if it was going to or from somewhere on this specific road or very close to it. Of course, any time the emergency services have to take a longer route, that's a problem, but they wouldn't be sat at that crossing for an hour while a patient died and/or a house burnt down.
In reality I do not know this location but I'm sure Anther township/ department would have done the job till the struck department was able to get to the emergency. As far as the ambulance, a police officer could have came and safely got them across if it was that dire and no other options.
They may be traveling under a slow order for the track or traffic.
NS in the house again and my FAVORITE RAILROAD! And believe me I like them all but they're my 1st pick.
Good choice!
I sure was waiting for some dummy to bypass the gates when this other train was coming the other way.
I enjoyed this video,nice change of location and you can't beat a mixed freight train either. Keep up the good work JT... 🚂🇬🇧
At least we don’t have to Grade Separate this Crossing but it’s a Minor Street.
That north bounder was a mixed bag of car types. Looks like their crews have been doing some ballast work and tie replacement. That south bounder was the one that was haulin'. You sure seem to be taking a liking to Norfie.Ince Once again, awesome train video.
Wow two intermodal manifest might this be a new way to get goods to the customer.
Uh uh Jaw Tooth getting kitty glomps.
I love cats. So adorable ❤️😻❤️😻😻😻
I think JT should take the cat 🐈with him next time he goes to film a train the way he does the dog.
Great video Jawtooth loved the live action trains yeah if trains are close enough to a crossing when they stop the gates will remain down
This crossing apparently is not equipped with a motion detector.
Not sure a motion detector would open the gates with a train only a few feet off the crossing like that.
How Railroad Crossing Signals Work: th-cam.com/video/4qdti3atxpw/w-d-xo.html Danny Harmon knows his stuff.
I'm starting to see trains like these on the Dayton District by my house in Columbus: half intermodal, half general manifest.
They go slow through La Porte Indiana too
Great catch, two trains.
I remember the first video when that kitten suddenly showed up. It seems you have adopted here! Great! :) I have 10 cats that live here with me. Two families, Miss Patches and her three kids Mr Blacky, Miss Booties and Mr Tiger and the other family, Mr Tabby the Feral House Cat, hiss sister Miss Midnight the Feral Queen of the Office and her kids, Miss Spots (joined us in August 2020) and her kittens Miss Pepper and Mr Vader. Miss Midnight and her kittens joined us in April 2020. Her kittens needed me to help them, so later, I caught mum and all she wanted was her kittens. She is feral and her little brother Mr Tabby is also feral. I'm the only one they are NOT afraid of. This morning, after I got into the office, Miss Midnight was sitting here next to me. A few months ago, Mr Big, a furry grey cat. He was a stray that suddenly started eating food in my yard. NOT feral. Once I realized he wasn't feral, I just HAD to bring him in. I knew he wouldn't put up a fight and he didn't. Every time I come near him, he comes up and rubs hiss head up against me and purrs. No one seems to be missing him. Nobody around here seems to know who he belongs to, so I think he was brought into the area and told "GET OUT!" and left here. He just happened upon the feral colony in my yard. I tried to find out where he came from. He has a clipped ear and he has definitely been neutered I cannot explain why hiss ear is clipped, that's normally done in TNR (Trap, Neuter, Release), but, like I already said...he's NOT feral. They don't TNR "adoptable" cats. He would have definitely been deemed adoptable, even if he was a bit skittish (he was a bit with me at first, but that isn't unusual). He definitely belonged to someone before. I just wish I knew WHY he wasn't wanted anymore. If you don't want (or for some reason can't keep) your cat, PLEASE don't just abandon it someplace. Around here, we have rescues and animal shelters where you can surrender them. Well...at least Mr Big is not only safe and sound here, he's quite happy. Every time he sees me he starts meowing and wanting some attention.
