  • I was Filming a Union Pacific Train and This Happens!.
    0:00 Intro.
    1:19 You are at the CSX Mile Post 41 curve on 21 July 2021as CSX train #K682 rounds the curve from the west on track #2as a LORAM shoulder cleaning machine sits on track #1 waiting for CSX train #K682 to pass. The engineer of CSX train #K682 blows his horn as he comes past the LORAM shoulder cleaning machine and continues to blow the horn as he continues east because there is additional Maintenance of Way equipment on track #1. CSX train #K682 is an as needed train that picks up loaded ethanol tank cars from the Union Pacific's Proviso Yard located in Melrose Park, Illinois and takes the loaded tank cars to Motiva in Sewaren, New Jersey.
    3:41 You are still at the CSX Mile Post 41 curve on 21 July 2021 as CSX train #Q567 comes off the west end of the elevated tracks through Dunkirk, New York on track #2 past the Maintenance of Way equipment working on track #1. The engineer is blowing the horn as he moves past the Maintenance of Way equipment to warn the operators that there is a train passing them.
    6:51 You are at the Berry Road crossing in Pomfret, New York at the Norfolk Southern tracks as Norfolk Southern train #206, a double stack train, which is powered by two Union Pacific engines passes.
    7:47 We hear a horn blowing and you turn to your right toward the CSX tracks as CSX train #Q166 passes. CSX train #Q166 is the daily Canadian Pacific run through double stack train from the Schiller Park Yard in Schiller Park, Illinois to Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
    8:23 The Norfork Southern train #206 finishes passing Berry Road.
    9:01 A mid-train DPU appeared on CSX train #Q166.
    10:05 You are at the CSX Mile Post 41 curve and we see the LORAM shoulder cleaning machine working to clean the ballast on the sides of the tracks on track #1. The dirt and junk that is cleaned out of the ballast is sent on a conveyor that dumps the crude over track #2 and onto the ground past the ballast supporting track #2.
    11:51 You are at the CSX Temple Road crossing as the gates go down and you look to the west as CSX train #Q008, an eastbound double stack train comes past.
    15:14 You are along the elevated tracks at CSX Control Point 39 at Mile Post 40.1 as the LORAM shoulder cleaning machine moves east toward the CSX Dunkirk Yard to park for the night.
    18:16 You are at the Berry Road crossing in Pomfret, New York looking across the CSX tracks at the Lowered gates at the Norfolk Southern crossing. We see that a truck is caught between the CSX and Norfolk Southern tracks going south on Berry Road. at 18:22 you pan to your left along the CSX tracks as CSX train #Q367 approaches from the east on its way west.
    Thank you for documenting these trains and the LORAM shoulder cleaner as it was working to clean the ballast along the sides of the rails on track #1 at the CSX Mile Post 41 curve. Watching the LORAM shoulder cleaner work was an amazing sight. Thank you for sharing this video!

    Fun fact, I was a UP conductor and RCL operator for 3 years, even better...my dad worked for Loram for 35 years and started there designing ballast cleaners. Over the years he started designing rail grinders and then became the Engineering manager for light rail grinders. They sent that equipment all over the world, Sweden, UK, China and Brazil.

    As a retired Conductor i can tell you that when reporting for work you get a profile and a set of orders for your consist.If work trains are out you must radio call the track supervisor within two miles of their limits to see if you can pass even if you have a favorable signal.Also there could be speed restrictions or lifting of restrictions.Those trains seemed to be going awful fast for passing working crews.We usually slowed a bit no matter what so we can eyeball their equipment and visa versa.CSX

      The work foreman of the track crew gives permission as the train crew asks for the permission to go by. In this case the foreman probably gave them permission to go at maximum authorized speed for his train. Before the train goes by the foreman will call all of his workers and they will confirm that they heard the foreman letting them know that a train will be coming on the other track

    My Granny worked spreading ballast during WW2 on the CPR line in Ontario. The train car had a disk on an arm out the side to mark the line for the edge of the ballast, and the stones came out a chute on the bottom of the car. She had to rake the stones to match up with the disk mark. Then an Inspector walked the track with her and her partner, another local woman. If there was a stone past the line he'd point with his cane and they had to rake it up, and if there was an empty spot with no stone above the line, they had to rake stones down to cover it. She said the train tracks almost looked like a city park when they finished up.

    A few years ago, I was on my way to go fishing, and the ballast cleaners were being parked on a passing siding near my fishing spot. I had a great conversation with the crew. They were covered with dust and looked as if they had just emerged from a coal mine. It was on the NS’s old Virginian main line east of Roanoke Va.

    Have always loved trains. Thanks for bringing back good memories for this old man. Am 70 now. Back when I was in my 20s, I had my dream job. I got a job working at ElectroMotive Division (EMD) in LaGrange, Illinois where I started out in the Paint Shop Wharehouse and then on Final Test Department. Seeing the locomotive engines in your videos brought back good times. Got to occasionally get to ride short distances with an engineer as we would test out an engine that was near completion before final shipment to the buyer. On weekends, would go out and watch Burlington Northern passenger trains making runs from Chicago out to Aurora, Illinois where I lived. By counting the number of engines, could have an idea how long the train was going to be. Figured one engine would pull about 75 freight cars. I also took vacations to Pennsylvania and would watch trains travel along Horseshoe Curve. That was a long curve where you could be in the engine and had made it up the long haul amd then turn as you made the way down and could see the caboose that was still coming up the grade. Used to have timetables so I could know what train was where. Would enjoy seeing the Denver Zephyr heading from Chicago to Denver blowing through Naperville, Illinois and scaring the hell out of this youngster as the gust of wind nearly blew me from my feet.

    The 'strange horns' on the Loram equipment have different meanings. The first one was the hotrail alarm, indicating a train is about to pass. The second one that sounded after the first train passed was the work alarm, indicating the machine is in 'work mode' and hydraulics are active.

    That’s really cool!! I grew up next to a switchyard as a kid, until I was 23, in Danbury Connecticut. It was back in the early 70s. Because of the position of the yard, and the fact that it was in the middle of the city, I was always exited whenever we had to stop at a crossing. My dad would be a little impatient, but I was intrigued. The old yard still exists, but it’s a museum now, and lacks the old time glory! I live two towns away from where I grew up, and there’s an old line that’s tied to the old yard, but it’s owned by a small company that , to me, only serves this short stretch. I don’t get the chance to stand next to the tracks, and watch in a mesmerized state, as the long line of cars go by. I’ve purchased a bunch of HO train sets, with the thought that I could experience that feeling again, but they’re all sitting in my attic, for that “someday “ when I can recreate it. Thanks again for the inspiration!!

    Sitting here watching the video of UP train just blistering the tracks passing to your left, and over the noise of the cars passing you from the UP train you can hear this higher pitch missile coming from somewhere. Another train to the right matching the UP train for speed. Then to hear the CP DPU Alright come screaming by. What a video.
    It's one thing to see a fire engine, ambulance, cop, Trooper, or even a semi come screaming by you at 60 mph and hitting something stationary would make a big explosion. It's a wholenother level when your talking up to 2 miles of train with all that weight moving in sync. Being between these trains leaves some trepidation in the event something goes wrong, no escape! It's just amazing how the railroad works basically the same today as it did 100 years ago, aside from the safety legislation arising from prior accidents. Still just ties, tie plates, spikes, rail, whether welded or prefab sections. All depending on the strength of steel and the holding power of the ties and bearing capacity of the ground. Of course you have the defect detectors, centrally operated signaling and remote switch operation. I'm talking the building materials. I'll stop rambling....it's just fascinating watching all that weight run up and down on a piece of steel just wider than 3" or so like a ninety pound gymnastics on a balance beam. We don't think twice about it.
