- Switching FX Matt Brewery, Utica NY, off NYS&W's Schuyler Street trackage, Feb 6, 2024.Matt's brews Utica Club, Saranac Ale and soft drinks. Exceptionally mild winter. No snow. Feels like spring. Maple sap is already being tapped for production of maple syrup. Video also features appearances by NYS&W Conductor Ethan and my trusty canine companion, Witold.
The curved track alignment is very unique, nice filming. Rail enthusiast from India.
Thanks for sharing another adventure at Door 18 of the brewery. On this video I noticed how close the vertical clearances are besides those on the sides. Watch out for any new low hanging lights or equipment! Cheers from Wisconsin and "Hi" to Witold! Our Chihuahua Peanut is on my lap as I type this.
This is a great prototype example that model railroaders can use that is 100% plausible. Modellers can also use this as a way to disguise the fact that the cars could be going into a hidden track or yard just beyond the interior of the loading/unloading bay.
I love watching the street switching at the brewery, it still amazes me how some that big can fit in the building. Thanks for the close up the train going in the brewery! It's really great to see Witold, he's looking great! Brenda from Johnston Rhode Island
1:52 The switch control is in the road! That is really cool. Great video!
I noticed that too. Only time I’ve seen something like that was on a streetcar line.
That old Geep could tell some stories if it could talk. Street switching and street running have always been my favourite hobby. This video makes me want to head for my usual spot... with my camera and a sixer of Utica Club.
Thanks for the videos ! My Grandfather was an engineer on the NYCRR from 1917 - 1967.
That's a long time!
I just know one of my grandfathers was a taxi driver for 12 years.
That’s cool! he saw it go from all steam to all diesel
That is one of the coolest things I have ever seen! They backed the whole train inside the building and then left down the middle of the road. Awesome video and your dog is really cute!
Hey Jaw Tooth! Great to hear from you, always enjoyed your videos, they're epic!
Always enjoy watching these operations. Not sure I'll ever get to see it in person. Thanks for your videos!
Always enjoy your videos, I appreciate you taking time to film them!
Nicely done,,thanks for sharing..😊
Beautiful weather we are having.
Thanks for the video.
That flanging squeal is BRUTAL! :P
Thank you for sharing.
This has always been one of my favorite switch operations to watch. Great angle and great video!
That switch design is very interesting.
I always enjoy watching your videos.
i love how not only is it an old manned switch but its smooth as butter
Very nice video. Easy switching work for this day - no ice, slush, or snow to deal with! Always interesting to watch them delivering to the brewery, too. Withold seemed to be taking things in stride, checking out the smells along the way.😊 Stay safe and well, the both of you!
Love it…….thanks for showing…..beautiful engine .
It was really neat to watch this. Awesome!!
These street-running trains are fascinating. We don't have anything like this in my area.
Very cool. Thanks for sharing.
Always appreciate your posts. I forward them to other rail fans. One goes to a guy who used to live in Utica and volunteered on the ADK Scenic RR.
Looking in from North Yorkshire, England. Love your videos.
Nice film! Always love seeing good old EMD's switching local businesses. Especially the whirly rumble of turbo prime movers.
I love watching switching, and this is a pretty unusual one. Thank you for catching it for us!
All the times I’ve gone to Utica to visit family, I’ve never been able to catch any rail action. Nice video. Thanks for sharing!
Excellent video documentation of an interesting street running / switching operation. That is a pretty sharp curve going into the building!
5:13 "Look, ma, I'm on TV". It was nice meeting and talking to you afterwards. Nobody show this to my boss, I called in sick to go take photos
Good meeting you as well!
Let's hope he is not a train enthusiast - Greetings from UK
I called in just to see what condition my condition was in and Trackside therapy was recommended
*I'm telling your boss* - unless you post your photos.
Your videos never disappoint... Great coverage of the local working the brewery in Utica. That switch under the road plate was amazing. Haven't seen one of those before.. Nice to see your railfan companion on the walk home... Another incredible video bro.!!
They're nicknamed a Submarine Switch, because when it rains, the switch stand is underwater
Thanks for posting from Canada - enjoy the switching at the plant. They make it look so easy but I know it's not. Lots of planning go into moves like that.
I love street running and I love switching! So street running combined with switching, oh boy! I know they are professionals but that seems crazy that they back out of the brewery without a conductor at the back of the locomotive.
That ancient green crossing shanty on Schuyler Street was reproduced as an HO scale brass import by Overland Models some years ago.
That was an awesome video I really enjoyed that.
Interesting - thanks
I'm amazed the Susquehanna is still running. It came back from the dead in the 1980s and somehow is still hanging in there.
People in the UK often ask me why I model a US railroad, I point them to your videos' of #3040 and say "the answer is right there". Nice that the title is a bit of Prose, and we end with Witold.
Always good to hear from you! Glad you liked the video & the title!
@@railroadingrambler218 You probably know this but "December 5th, 1933, will forever be marked as the day prohibition was repealed. West End Brewing Co. was the first brewery in the country to have a license, and the first to legally sell beer.
There was a big parade that started at the brewery and ended at the Hotel Utica where people enjoyed pints of the first legal beer to be poured in the country, Utica Club."
Yes, I recall reading about that but forgot some of the details; thanks for posting that info. My great grandfather was a saloon keeper in West Utica who operated his business both before and during Prohibition; he was arrested by the Feds but managed to post a very high bail within hours. He was not only selling booze when it was illegal to do so but his offerings contained just a wee bit of wood alcohol, lol. I only found out about this long after my paternal grandfather, son of my bootlegging great grandfather, and my father passed away.
Good to see your still on here. Had to look you up, to see if you are still making videos. I enjoy seeing this train on the tracks as I pass by on Route 12. Thank you. Your dog looks great. 🙂
Thanks for sharing. My wife grew up withe the Matt family children in New Hartford. From what i used to hear, they would throw a hell of a good party. Just pull up the beer teuck and open the taps. Nice to see Utica with no snow on the ground this time of year👍
That was really cool, looks like quite the operation! I like those under ground switches, there are some near me in Fondulac, WI. Street switching is cool! (Dave).
Interesting vid. I've always liked seeing street running/switching. I got a chuckle at the end of your vid, seeing a Labatt Ice can on the ground from up here in Canada. Ironic, being just outside the brewery though. Cheerz
Awesome video! Love the switching at the brewery!! Nice catch
Greetings from Tonawanda NY! It’s cooler than the last few days.
Interesting video and locomotive at work. Greetings from Poland. 👍
Great video from Okeechobee Florida.
Haha the Sunrail can't touch this.
Excellent beer and soft drinks .....worth the trip if you like either one or better yet, both!! 😃😃😃😃😃
I wish companies still put any effort into their buildings and sites. Brick factories and warehouses near where people live, with tracks leading into them are so much more asthetically pleasing than miles of gray boxes next to the interstate.
And towns which have as mixed use main streets as this are so much more interesting than those afflicted by the curse of zoning laws
Thank you for your video great ! from france
Enjoy all of you upstate NY street rail videos. Have to check the availability of Utica Club and Saranac Ale and try it. Thank you.
That clunk of the couplers was nice and smooth...no jerky slamming.....
Witold! Hi Buddy! This was a fun one, So cozy. Thank you from Southern Oregon.
I love the little green tower at the grade crossing , it looks like the one that Atlas model railroad has been selling for years .
This is very neat. I love it
That switch on the ground and that curved track. Impressive. Great switching action!
I'm from Ukraine, a professional programmer for ~25 years, and also a railroad fan, wanting to come to US with my family to stay somewhere in NY or NJ, it seems Utica is an approriate place for that.
Stay safe, hope you make it over here someday
Lots of Ukrainians in Utica including old high school friend of mine
This is a great video, but to fully enjoy it you have to watch with ear buds or headphones on. You must have a great stereo mic because the audio is topnotch.
This is very cool to see.
Good to see this.
Very cool video, didn't expect to see a classic grade crossing watchman's tower
Love these videos. I need to make it up to Utica to see this for myself someday. I’m not all that far away.
I used to live in Oriskany , born there.. i know this area well.
Great video. I like trains. That's a beautiful dog
extremely cool video.. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for commenting!
love it
Looking good from Mooresville N.C. , we are now able to get F.X.Matt products here in N.C. Thanks for the video 😊
Love Locomotive Sounds ❤
Good old nuber 3040 back on duty!
It's interesting to me to watch an engine switch back and forth like that. I also appreciate the building arctecheture as the building curves around the track like that.😊
Nice video! Was that an old crossing guard tower in the distance?
Beatiuful video, greetings 👍🔔🚂
Always a treat to watch them switch here and I didn't know they went that deeply into the building. It's hard to tell where these loads originate as the cars are leasers. GBRX is Greenbrier Leasing and GPLX is GATX Inc and they usually use those cars to haul plastic pellets. Too bad you can't see the former CNW yellow or WC cream with red lettering and herald carrying malt as they have been repainted. Glad to see Witold moving under his own power
Most of the malt comes from the big 3: Cargill Malt in Spiritwood, ND; Rahr Malt in Shakopee, MN; or, Cargill Malt in Sheboygan, WI.
@@kentpitman5649 thanks for the input sadly the Froedtert malt plant here in West Milwaukee got demolished last year and that was the biggest rail customer in Milwaukee usually about 30 to 40 cars a day in and out combined. Also Anheuser-Busch sold off the Manitowoc WI plant maybe 10 years ago and sounds like they're down to a plant in Idaho. The Manitowoc facility is now just a grain storage facility
Here in MI, we have been having above freezing days, and below freezing nights, which is ideal for sap collection. Maple sap is being tapped here as well, about 2 weeks earlier than usual.
When the train was backing into the building it looked like the building was swallowing the train. 😊 🇨🇦
It looked like a beautiful day to do some street running. Thanks!
Very cool! thanks!
Fantastic video, great train traffic in the city. 👍👍👍🙋♂
Very Kool thanks 😊
Nice dog , and love the train thanks for the video
Idk why but the horn sounds amazing
That was a great video to see.
Thanks For Video
Take Care -Ruff Ruff!
I saw a seine sorta like this in Chicago as I delivered a flatbed. I too drove through the plaint
"Beeeeeeeer!!!!" - Homer Simpson 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great video of switching those cars!
This is railroading at its finest, worth modelling
Man, that looks like the coolest job in the world
Curve radius like a damn Lionel train set 😂
Now we can see how an O gauge layout works in real life scale on curves!!!! 😆😁😁😆
I have the 3040 pre-ordered in n scale. Great to see her in action.
Hey rail rambler glad to Matt's brewery does rail service. 🙋♀️
seems the curve is just sharp enough to make the rail sing like a violin string
Real interesting industry work. It’s cool to find stuff like this.
Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for commenting!
Looking at the footage at 6:13 I'd say pulling 2 mty's out and putting 2 full ones in as that wagon 36107 has its valves open.
I would love to go to Utica to catch some street running. It's about 12 hours/700 miles however for me. *sigh* Nice video. I enjoyed it!
That was a good video sir
A brewery I’ve never heard of getting grain cars, very impressive. I live in CA and of the 1000 or so breweries in the state, only Bud and coors can take railcars.
Enjoy your videos
That was so neat
2:00 I’m surprised they have a streetcar-like single point switch. Didn’t realize that was allowed on the railroad
