Back in the summer of 1969, I saw a freight train come up along side us where the tracks were about 100 ft from the interstate and my dad had to accelerate to 85mph to match it’s speed. And this freighter was so damned long, we couldn’t see the end of it looking out the rear window. That thing was MOVING. There were 9 engines in the front and God only knows how many more were further back toward the middle and rear. What a sight that was. Never forgot it.
What kind of engines were they . Even the new freight diesels are geared for 75 mph and I'm an old man that even remembers the men in the shacks that helped stop traffic. I just missed the end of steam !
It is really neat to see the cat and dog playing together. It is obvious they are play fighting and neither is really trying to hurt the other. Then them sleeping the floor together is priceless. Thanks for including that.
You know it when you say that wind from the train is cold! I once filmed a 60MPH train in the snow and the actual air temp was 10 below zero! That was the coldest I ever felt-trains of no trains!
i am always laughing my ass of when you say: it's freezing cold out here and your jacket is open and the shirt is unbuttoned to your belly, standing 10 feet away from the booking train 🤣🤣🤣Great video, JT, as always
Greetings from an African resident in Europe. I appreciate your efforts to shoot these images to train lovers in US and world viewers. I am some how familiar with North America Geography, Topography, Végétation, Rivers and Lajes. Because, during my collège time in Nigeria, our regional Education Board made it Madatory for each collège in my State, should introduce the geography and history of another continent Outside Africa, for finalement nous Year students. So we studied North American geo. and hist. Secondly,your colorful shirt outdor In winter gives thé impression that you confounded Bahamas, Namibia and Jamaica with cold season in United States or Canada. Great Job !
oh, yeah. half of us refuse to get winterized because the nature of the jet stream east of the rockies is such that it oscillates, vacillating from polar to gulf/caribean or how its spelled. 17 degrees today, 70 degrees in a few more. gets you just sick enough to keep your immune system in order.
That first train looks a lot like a WWOT train - they always travel at speed! Second train had a bunch of coil steel cars - haven't seen that many in some time :) Coal power plants are interesting. An operating plant has a massive coal pile (brought in by trains and dumped) and they have to constantly estimate how much coal they have so that they can maintain 100% power generation. If you have ever seen them unload a train - it is very cool! I am beginning to believe that JT is not affected by the cold at all. He says he's cold and yet he has a short sleeve hawaiian shirt and an open lined jacket. He didn't even wear his Yooper hat in this video :)
Hey JT, it looked like a 100 ft gondola car was going by your spot in 1 second. 100 X 60=6000 X 60=360000 feet in an hour. Or 360000 divided by 5280= 68.18 MPH. In that ball park, but 60 is probably their speed limit. Thanks for the great footage! Probably a better guide is to use the CSX AutoRack at 89', 4". Which would have been 60.68 MPH if it passes by in a second........
Back in the late 70s - early 80s, there was a coal fired power plant in Eastlake, Ohio serviced by Conrail. The railroad maintained a wye coming off their mainline (specifically, the "north control track" - so called because the switches were controlled by the dispatcher) There was a local job called the Willoughby Turn, and the crew for this job had three GP38 locomotives (occasionally one or another would be a GE dash-7) They would go out on the main line toward Cleveland, get the 100 car coal trains parked on a south siding a few miles away, and then bring the train back to the wye, where they would clear the eastern points and then back the coal cars down to the power plant, which was on the shores of Lake Erie. The conductor used his own vehicle to race ahead of the back end and flag crossings in the area. They would break the train into sections at the direction of the plant management, and put the sections into holding tracks in the power plant's yard. They would pull empties out and return them to the Collinwood yards in downtown Cleveland. I became friendly with the crew, and learned much by talking with them. They are long since retired, and Conrail is gone, so I may safely say that they gave me a few cab rides during that period. Your power plant images reminded me of all this. Thanks for sharing.
I lived on Campbell Road in Willoughby in the early to mid 70's and can remember Penn Central running F7's to power coal trains into that power plant before Conrail came into existence! I never got any photo's during that period though. I could kick myself for not realizing what was happening when Conrail came to be. Lots of colorful lashups for sure!
@@mfd14c13 Thanks for your comment. I wish I could have seen that! My friend and I only discovered the whole operation by chance, as we were out train watching.
First time viewing and my man is wearing an Aloha shirt in Ohio, in February, with snow all around. That's what I call optimistic. I'll give you a thumbs up just for that.
FYI: I’ve enjoyed rail fanning for years. You can enjoy the outing much better by wearing the proper clothing to protect yourself in cold weather! Just a hint!
got home from work, warmed up a plate of food, turned on another Jaw Tooth train video and had a blast!! Those machines just make me feel so small!! I love them!
Yes, high-speed freight trains make plenty of wind. The fastest freight trains we once had in Germany ran at 160 km/h. However, the German Bahn discontinued these trains in 1996 due to alleged lack of demand. The fastest freight trains currently running run at only 120 km/h. In France, mail is transported at night with TGV ́s. These TGVs are then considered freight trains in France. These TGVs are travelling at a speed of 200 km/h between Paris and Lyon. Nice catch. Greetings from Berlin/ Germany. Sven
the passenger trains are also very fast. I was in Hannover two years back, it was March abs was still cold. I was standing in a station when a DB went past at top speed, the cold wind was so sharp and biting it went right into my bones
Great as always!! Yes, booking is the word! I am going to guess #1at 60 mph and #2 at 55. Huge trains! Someday I must see a documentary about how they put those mixed manifest trains together! Thanks for facing the cold!! Big hugs to canines and feline! ❤️🚂❤️🚂❤️🚂 ❤️Happy Valentine’s Day!
GOOD CATCH JT VERY FAST THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS WITH YOUR SUBSCRIBERS VERY COOL INDEED THANK GOODNESS FOR YOU AND YOUR CHANNEL I ENJOY IT IT IS A GUILTY PLEASURE TO WATCH YOUR VIDEOS AND YOUR FAMILY AND PETS. AWSOME GOOD. 👍👍👍👍👍👌😇😁😆🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Amazing video Jaw Tooth. I like the CSX trains. The 1st speed is 8 miles per hour, 2nd speed is 8 miles per hour, 3rd speed us 8 miles per hour. I like the coal plant, but I feel sorry about it they are taking it down. I love the animal time and you swinging your arm around. I like that on the Norfolk Southern line where that work train that was coooooooool. Your the man! THANK YOU. Happy Valentines day.
I really miss coal fired power plants. Back when I was an engineer we serviced three power plants so we were busy picking up loads and taking empties back to the mine. That's all gone now, sad
What are those yellow 'racks' at 1:49 and 2:09? I've seen dozens of them just parked at the Hawthorne yard in Indianapolis. I've never seen one with anything loaded onto it.
Summer of 69 I was 11 years old J you must be 90 years old . If you get cold from the wind coming off the trains try zipping up your jacket !! Great video as usual . This winter dress warm !
Agree about the high-quality camera, but ... Have you noticed when it is not panning but it is filming a moving train there seems to be a jump in the picture about once a second, as though a frame is missing on a regular basis?

What railroad was it?
That is awesome! Thats what Im looking for
I found a video of freight trains going way faster😂
What kind of engines were they . Even the new freight diesels are geared for 75 mph and I'm an old man that even remembers the men in the shacks that helped stop traffic. I just missed the end of steam !
@@OskarsgaminglifeYeah I have too. We were lied to. 😠

Know

Takes total dedication and commitment to be willing to brave the elements to film a train(s), whether it's the freezing cold, or extreme heat.
Wow awesome footage
Those first two trains were quite quiet and smooth considering how close to the line you were.All three trains were getting with it.Nice work.

So cute little baby dogs and cats are angel sent from heaven love
Great job
Norfie & Chessie are such great friends, that's awesome seeing them wrestle and chase! 😉🥰
Love your animals
From one railfan to another, awesome vid sir!!!
Thank you very much!

He’s not wearing the hat because he want’s us see his no.2 haircut lol.
Could have been one the trains I send to Jaw Tooth, I just sent one today and yesterday the Q561. Fast trains in the snow!
@@WideWorldofTrains He's got a yooper hat?
... he never showed his brandy flask either ...lol jk ...
Yes, WWOT sets really fly!
Are the tracks that much better where he records?
Another great vid JT👍especially the abandoned coal fired power plant, good catch on the trains too. Take care & stay safe.👋😎🛤🚂
Good catch Jaw Tooth! I’d love to see those fast trains!
Good sharing video 👍
Wow!!!
First train had an awesome, old, lead engine.
You kept your word on the road-trip.
Love the Hawaiian shirt in 27 degrees with snow!!!
Trains must maintain maximum authorized speed if at all possible. We always said, got to get in so we can get out. Good job, JT
Not with Trip Sodomizer you're not...
When I was a youngster we described trains moving at those speeds as, "hauling the mail."
Great stuff Mr. Tooth. I don't know how fast they were goin but them boys are "haullin da mail".
Keep the good trains rolling.smile.
I love it , thank you. Zip up that jacket 😀👍🏾😀👍🏾
Thank you! 🤗
Thanks for doing this. I really enjoy your videos.
Around 1:48 there's a yellow flatcar with some sort of "A" frame setup. Any thoughts as to what that would be?
I believe I've seen those carrying lumber, such as bundles of 2x4's on racks .
I loved the first train gave you that little what's up with the two short horn, it's a good feeling when a train says hello to you personally
Very enjoyable sir!
Another excellent video JT!!!!

There are no 100' freight cars.
in the first train the 57 ft grain hopper took .84 seconds thats 45 mph.
in the second train the center beams took 1.12 seconds that 43 mph.
Track speed is 50mph in that area.
@@hifijohnpeople think they're much faster then they actually are.
27degrees at 40 mph windchill is appx 6 to 8 degrees.... Dedicated young man ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Amazing videos jaw tooth keep up the good work
Wow, that first train was really flying. Reminded me of the Road Runner. Awesome! Cool video. Have a nice day and Happy Valentine's Day
I enjoyed the video👍👍

Hi Jaw Tooth. Happy Monday my friend. I know how fast those trains were going - Booking hard!!!
Stay warm & have a great day!!
Great video looks cold. Cheers Jt. Chris from England.

Great video Jawwtooth I like the videos You do.
I appreciate that!
That train is flying!!!!!!! Awesome 90 mph
Lol, no first one at tops 55 MPH
Lol
I love that when the engineer gives you a shout out on train horns when they go by. That's so cool ..and had to laugh when he say they be " booking"
Great video JT, 12 centerbeam cars; 3 full and 9 empties. Love norfie❤️
Mr. Scott, Warp 2, Aye Captain
Great video.
When i checked the scores last night
Wow L.A. By 3
Great catches!!

160 km/h is about 99 MPH. Awfully fast for freight
Cool info man thanks 👍
the passenger trains are also very fast. I was in Hannover two years back, it was March abs was still cold. I was standing in a station when a DB went past at top speed, the cold wind was so sharp and biting it went right into my bones
Even the 120kph is not used by many. Most go around 90-100kph. They are also shorter, the maximum length is 750 meters.
The TGV La Poste that you are thinking of had its service discontinued in 2015
Great video, those first 2 trains were very fast. Your dog and cat are cool playmates.
Great as always!! Yes, booking is the word! I am going to guess #1at 60 mph and #2 at 55. Huge trains! Someday I must see a documentary about how they put those mixed manifest trains together! Thanks for facing the cold!! Big hugs to canines and feline!
❤️🚂❤️🚂❤️🚂 ❤️Happy Valentine’s Day!
Thanks for watching and Happy Valentines Day!
@@JawTooth if you haven’t already you should really check out the bnsf Chillicothe sub. 70+ mph intermodels
Love the way jaw tooth tries to includes the fans with questions 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
“What’s the hurry?” Love fast freight. Great video, JT.
I just sent 2 trains to you, one today and yesterday the Q561. Fast trains in the snow!
Cool, maybe I can catch them!
GOOD CATCH JT VERY FAST THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS WITH YOUR SUBSCRIBERS VERY COOL INDEED THANK GOODNESS FOR YOU AND YOUR CHANNEL I ENJOY IT IT IS A GUILTY PLEASURE TO WATCH YOUR VIDEOS AND YOUR FAMILY AND PETS. AWSOME GOOD. 👍👍👍👍👍👌😇😁😆🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Need zipper that coat up cold out side love train horn sound good to me happy Valentine's

Love to watch!!! Quality video and good humor. Yeah!!! If you make t-shirts, let me know!!!
Love those csx trians
The ma'am was at track speed and had places to be! 😄 Fireball Fran!
These trains were booking! I love trains! Thank you for your amazing train videos! Thank you for filming in cold weather! I love your videos!
Thank you very much!
Love to hear that high iron sing....! "Smoke Em"...! Greg
Wow 👌 👏 nice 👍 👌 trains they were fast what is the hurry slow down enjoy the view
The Cat & Dog playing towards the end of the footage was so cute, nice video clips.
That was really fast Jaw Bone. Well done.
Thanks!
Why do we love trains so much. But we do. Thanks
What a beauty 👍 good to see you n trains
What a great video, you do a good job.
Always great videos. Stay warm!
Dang, first one was chasing a dream for sure. 🤘🏻
Yes , that was a fast train, probably upwards of 50+ mph. Your videos are second to no one, fantastic job👌
Thanks for sharing. Like
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Awesome video, dam that train was flying.
Around 110+ kph. The first one. Bloody ripping it! Didn't know these types of trains could actually go that fast. Impressive.
Love the bloopers JT

That first train was insane! Great catches and video! Safe travels!
As someone who once lived in Muncie for a few months with my wife...
I have to say I was really like LOL when I watched your second take 😂
Excellent Coverage
🚂🌵🇮🇳🚂🌵
Take 5 ha ha ha ha...Classic. Great video and loved the new music during the video.
Thanks 👍
Awesome!
Killer Graffiti on that CSX Train!
Great Catches!
Hey JT. How is it your always cold? You wear a Bermuda shirt and your jacket is never fastened, wind, rain, hail, or snow!! Cool dude 😎😎.
Hawaiian shirt, snow and cold! Got to love it!😊
Audible rule: count wheel flat spots mentally 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 etc. That starts to get difficult at 50mph.
I know you want to show off that cool shirt, but aren't you cold? And where's your hat?😁
Good job catching these fast freights!
Keep the video coming
Now that's some action there! Awesome video!
Thanks 👍
Nice catch
Chilly breezin!! Great powerplant video. Norfie likes rasslin with Chessie huh?
Summer of 69 I was 11 years old J you must be 90 years old . If you get cold from the wind coming off the trains try zipping up your jacket !! Great video as usual . This winter dress warm !
In 69 I was 8. My favourite time was the 70s and early 80s. Had a blast back then
More bloopers and outtakes ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
FRESH HOT COFFEE !!!
Fantastic videos as usual. Your high-quality camera makes the difference. You have incredible long trains in the US. Well, I enjoy this a lot
Agree about the high-quality camera, but ... Have you noticed when it is not panning but it is filming a moving train there seems to be a jump in the picture about once a second, as though a frame is missing on a regular basis?
Like a cargo airplane, those first two trains needed a ground speed indicator on their panel. LOL
May you please say or graphic the train numbers like Q563, 22K, or 1686?
great video my friend🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂
Thank you very much!
Wow shes a booking that csx
