They thought I looked suspicious with out of state plates and listening to a train on a scanner. They were a couple of morons who didn't have a clue about the First Amendment or any other rights that we have. That was the Kenton County Police Department in Kentucky. The two moron cops were Trevor Rohe and Gary Helton. Both of them were complete buffoons and I made written complaints on both of them, I talked at their merit board meeting and talked on local cable television in Kentucky to let people know what kind of stupid cops they have. The cowards never even apologized to me when they found out that I didn't break any laws. My faith and trust in law enforcement is gone.
here in Canada our rights is been taking away a little bit each day. the only rights that matter now is the Muslim refugees and the gay rights.its the liberal way..
Thanks everyone! I'm at a play tonight and I noticed this video just topped 1K views! That is awesome! I didn't know my channel was that popular! I have some new ideas for videos so I'll try to keep everyone entertained! Live Action!
Geez I've never seen anything like this in all my years of rail fanning This would never happen in Australia where peeps would create a hullabaloo about trains running down a Main Street Just love it
Learn your fact's there is street running in Australia in Rockhampton in QLD and Wycheproof in Victoria Rockhampton is on the mainline to north QLD victorian one only grain line
I'm sure for normal people having trains of that length run through the street must be a pain, but for railfans, it's awesome! Very cool video, nice work!
Man that is one long street running, also you just made my morning with your Commentary I enjoy watching all your videos do not change a thing I love it!!
In a city near where I live called Hubbard Ohio there is a set of railroad tracks. One time the train was stopped there for 6 hours impeding traffic simply because the railroad company has a rule that a locomotive conductor is only allowed so much time on the tracks. When the conductor's time ran out he had to stop the train and wait for another conductor to come aboard and take over the train operations.
Yes, that was Lac Megantic. There were about 47 people killed and some of them were burned so bad that they never found them. I have another video with some close calls of people pulling out in front of the train as it goes down the middle of the road in a different city, LaGrange Kentucky. You should see that one if you have the time. anyway, thanks for watching my video and please Subscribe!!
I always like coming over there to see the street running. Sometimes when the train comes the crew had to switch the tracks before coming into the yard which is why they sometimes stop.
I appreciate that you alwsys say where you are in the beginning. Good stuff. I don't understand why they have such a long train going down the street. It must stink to wait for that to pass.
Imagine being a person visiting the city who didn't know about the railroad and you're just driving and see a train coming down the middle of the street...
Awesome video, Jaw Tooth. The kid on the bike didn't beat the train by much! It's quite a thing the way the train goes right through a developed part of a city. Of course, as others here have said, the tracks were probably there first. No way the tracks could have been put in after things were all built up. Great job, Jaw Tooth. You really do have a fine talent for making films like this. Jim
Hey Jaw, I've got 2 sons and 5 grandchildren that lives in N Augusta and when I'm up there me and 2 of my grandsons go down by the river walk and set up on the Levy and watch the cross over the savanna River. They've got that little ice cream shop right there, lol.
That was done recently you can see the new asphalt that was put down when they got rid of the old tracks. When I was a kid a flagman walked in front of the train waving a flag to warn drivers.
The city(1735) was there long before the tracks were laid, and there is a four-lane overpass that goes over the tracks that we use if the train is coming thru.
That is one long street running train Brian , my video camera has a strap that goes around my fingers so it won't fall out of my hands very secure ! When you are that close to the train the cars are huge up close !
Hey this is funny that I found this tonight. NS #9000 just went through here (Christiansburg, VA) this afternoon. Guess it gets around, not the first time I've seen it through here, either.
This is my home town NS and CSX run trains in downtown Augusta. CSX only uses the last 3rd of this mile long stretch. NS runs 4 trains a day through this part. 2 in the day hours and 2 during the night. This train is heading out of the Augusta yard heading to Andrews yard in Columbia,SC. These tank cars are nothing NS also pulls a unit ethanol train into Augusta to Nixon yard down by the airport. The unit ethanol train is E33 it originate in Peoria,Il
That's cool the train. In the day's of the Milwaukee Road the train would go down the middle of main street in Renton Wa. That was a lot of fun when I was a little fart. My parent's & I went on the train every year
Wow. That was one looooooong train! I'll never understand why people built their towns ON the tracks! It's sooo unsafe, but you know, whatever floats your boat!
only thing I see wrong is you would think the lights at the intersections would be red for cross traffic a little sooner give the train more time for an all clear since there is no crossing gates.... but hey if theyll run a red light theyll run by crossing gates too I suppose!
Back in 60s train went thru middle of town in Miltonfreewater, OR going to fruit packing plants. Was steam back then and all traffic stopped when the train was running.
WOW not see out like that there in Oldham UK we only have trams...that's great having a train going down your street do you have a lot of towns like this in the US ?
I know of about 30 to 40 places where freight trains run down the middle of the street in the US. I have a playlist showing some of the street running trains that I have filmed. If you have time, check out my 2nd most popular video. It shows another city with long street running trains and I think you will like it. Most of the street running railroads only get a few trains a week or so. The track in this video however, is verybusy and I filmed 2 trains on it in 5 hours. Thanks for visiting my channel and please subscribe!!
In that place, it has to suck if you waited all that time for that long train to clear the intersection, and it stops right before it completely clears it.
Thanks Jawtooth, you held the camera steady for a longtime , slow train, and wind. However stay focused on the train and not blondes that get in your shot. I hold you to a high standard.
I guess they get to ignore red lights and stop signs! I have seen quite a few of your street running videos, and I'm still having a hard time wrapping my head around the concept. I imagine the engineer looking for a parking spot, and then parallel parking that sumbitch, or stopping the train to run in for some groceries. What about people who get stuck, parked on one side while they go to a shop on the other side, only to come out to see two miles of a solid steel wall between them and their car?
SittingMoose Shaman Police/Sheriff are only there doing their job, there was nothing wrong with making sure he wasn't out to do harm. I was questioned by police once for photographing on an overpass above a train line because someone thought I was photographing power pants for terroristic reasons. The officer really didn't feel like being there in the first place and found the entire call to respond pointless but he did it anyway.
You were filming on 6th and Broad in downtown Augusta. The line you are filming is the (Norfolk Southern R Line) on the (NS Columbia District Subdivision) This line will cross the (CSX Monroe Subdivision) on the northeast side of Chester SC between Parkway Drive [716002U] and [861025W] a private road next to Masters Recycling at 515 Saluda Rd. in Chester. The subdivision continues south into Columbia SC. on its way to Augusta Georgia. As it crosses over the Savannah Rive trestle north of Reynolds St. the crossings down 6th Street are as follows; Reynolds [864837M] Broad Street/BUS-25 [864838U] Ellis Street [864839B] Green Street/GA-28 [864840V] Telfair Street [864841C] Walker Street [864842J] Watkins Street [864843R] Fenwick Street [864844X] This subdivision will merge with (CSX McCormick Subdivision) and will become the (CSX Augusta Subdivision) under Walton Way. This track will exit off of 6th Street at Taylor [864846L] (companies and subdivisions in parenthesis)[FRA Crossing Data in Brackets]
I want to get back down there and film some more. When I was there, the Masters golf tournament was going on. The Ramada Inn has a view of the street runners. I tried to get a room there. It was $350 a night because of the golf tournament but the rude manager wouldn't even tell me if the room faced the railroad. He was busy flirting with a girl who worked there so I just left. I want to film down at the Fenwick end of the street when I return. The NS Officer Car Special was there also and I got some video of it.
Why would the RR run their line right through the middle of the road in a town like that? I live near LaGrange, KY, so I've seen this type of thing first hand. I just don't understand why this kind of thing would be done. Please answer if you can explain. I'm kinda thick-headed, but I just don't understand. Thank you! Love your video's, Jaw Tooth!
I know you want JT to answer, but have you consider that the tracks were there long before the streets were built and the town was built up around the tracks in this manner before they're was so many cars? It was way more common 70 years ago for tracks to be in the middle of the roads, but like you said it doesn't make any sense and most of these tracks have been lifted. So they aren't many areas you can visit to see train street running train. While this is inconvenient for drivers. It's more inconvenient for the railroads since the cars are in it's way. Just think about that for a moment and try to think about from that perspective. Anyways have any nice day!!
I don't know but we saw 2 trains in 6 hours. I wanted to stay at the Ramada Inn next to the tracks to see how many use it but they tripled the price of staying there because there was a golf tournament going on. ( The guy at the counter was rude anyway ). Thanks for watching!
Thank you for watching! Millenniumforce and I will be in Fostoria tomorrow and near Cincinnati on Sunday. I see that you are a fan of his. Did you get to railfan with him when he was out west ?
Hey, wait a minute. Were you filming the train or the young lady standing on the corner? Oh, where did she go? She disappeared! Nope, she took the long way around. And there she goes again. Cool video! Never seen a street runner stop before. Maybe a car got in the way up ahead or something. Cheers, Dan
So, whyd the cops stop you? You didn't even explain.
They thought I looked suspicious with out of state plates and listening to a train on a scanner. They were a couple of morons who didn't have a clue about the First Amendment or any other rights that we have. That was the Kenton County Police Department in Kentucky. The two moron cops were Trevor Rohe and Gary Helton. Both of them were complete buffoons and I made written complaints on both of them, I talked at their merit board meeting and talked on local cable television in Kentucky to let people know what kind of stupid cops they have. The cowards never even apologized to me when they found out that I didn't break any laws. My faith and trust in law enforcement is gone.
Right..they probably believe the first, fourth and fifth amendment only apply in selected circumstances
at least they didn't shoot you.
here in Canada our rights is been taking away a little bit each day. the only rights that matter now is the Muslim refugees and the gay rights.its the liberal way..
Why don’t they go catch some criminals .
Thanks everyone! I'm at a play tonight and I noticed this video just topped 1K views! That is awesome! I didn't know my channel was that popular! I have some new ideas for videos so I'll try to keep everyone entertained! Live Action!

Cool, hope you get a million hits!
I was there a while back.
Jason
did you get cough by the po po
Guy on the bike tried to beat the train but dropped his hat and the train ran it over! LOL. Now he has to wait to get it back.
I think the wind blew it off
I wonder if he ever got his cap back.
Now that is the longest street running train I ever see wow
Whoever laid out the rail system in Augusta had to be Italian. That's one mess of spaghetti.
Who made this idea to build a street track
Hi from the UK. I've been watching a lot of your street runner videos and they just amaze me! Thanks for sharing
I love it! The train gets a green light!
Train don't need no stinking green light. Like anyone but him is a challenge.
billyboi57 The track has a circuit that changes the traffic signal as the train approaches. It is designed for traffic protection.
Geez I've never seen anything like this in all my years of rail fanning This would never happen in Australia where peeps would create a hullabaloo about trains running down a Main Street Just love it
Learn your fact's there is street running in Australia in Rockhampton in QLD and Wycheproof in Victoria Rockhampton is on the mainline to north QLD victorian one only grain line
I LOVE street running like this. Great vid here Jaw Tooth, thanks for posting.
Jaw Tooth, I have never seen a train go right down the middle of a street before. Thanks for sharing that.
John Arleo I wish we had more of these in Canada, but except from some old photos I've seen. You wouldn't haven't known we had some. 😭
We had a train run down middle of our town for over a hundred years but in 1981 they stopped using it then in 1985 they tore out the rails
I'm sure for normal people having trains of that length run through the street must be a pain, but for railfans, it's awesome! Very cool video, nice work!
1:34 Bike rider:
"If you must cross, do it now!"
I love watching trains travelling down the street.....Thanks for posting.....From Newcastle Australia.
Cop says to engineer - Sir you can't park your train here or I'll have to write you a parking ticket.
Haha
if i was the engineer i would what are you going to do tow it away
Had to give each car a ticket
Man that is one long street running, also you just made my morning with your Commentary I enjoy watching all your videos do not change a thing I love it!!

When the conductor's time ran out he had to stop the train and wait for another conductor to come aboard and take over the train operations.
Seeing this reminds me of the danger associated with the close proximity to homes etc. A derailment in Quebec destroyed most of a small town
Yes, that was Lac Megantic. There were about 47 people killed and some of them were burned so bad that they never found them.

I appreciate that you alwsys say where you are in the beginning. Good stuff. I don't understand why they have such a long train going down the street. It must stink to wait for that to pass.
i do love the sound of the train .. always reminds me of holidays as a child. great channel, friend!
This is a really cool mix of cars and a really cool location. This town is really reminiscent for me. Nice catch! Thanks for sharing!!!!!
Joel
Wow! One of the last places you would think you could find a train!
Imagine being a person visiting the city who didn't know about the railroad and you're just driving and see a train coming down the middle of the street...
If I didn't know better, I'd say the camera guy thought maybe it was a windy day, and then he noticed the train stopped--both amazing observations!
I did not think that the train would ever end, good video thumbs up .
Awsome job, JT handling that camera in very high winds!! Forget about using the selfie stick, lol
Trains running through small nice cities like this are nice to watch on a video! Maybe not so nice when you are there driving your car!
There's something mesmerising about this place. Like a fairy tale place.
Awesome video, Jaw Tooth. The kid on the bike didn't beat the train by much! It's quite a thing the way the train goes right through a developed part of a city. Of course, as others here have said, the tracks were probably there first. No way the tracks could have been put in after things were all built up. Great job, Jaw Tooth.

Hey Jaw, I've got 2 sons and 5 grandchildren that lives in N Augusta and when I'm up there me and 2 of my grandsons go down by the river walk and set up on the Levy and watch the cross over the savanna River. They've got that little ice cream shop right there, lol.
Good stuff man. I've watched most of your vids. Keep it coming.
thats so cool that they still have street running.
Cool. Nice to see a larger locomotive in the middle of the street. Maybe one day I will be able to see a situation like that
I hope so too
@@JawTooth Thanks!
Lots of pissed off non railfan people that day. 😃
Really neat! What a long haul. Gotta love that quiet welded rail. No clackity-clack.
That was done recently you can see the new asphalt that was put down when they got rid of the old tracks. When I was a kid a flagman walked in front of the train waving a flag to warn drivers.

That is one long street running train Brian , my video camera has a strap that goes around my fingers so it won't fall out of my hands very secure ! When you are that close to the train the cars are huge up close !
Amazing ! Did they build the town around the existing railroad tracks ? If so why ? A train 🚂 running down the middle of Main Street is a bit odd 😱
The city was there first. Tracks came later.
The rail line was built during horse and buggy days
Cool! Just popped up on my feed! You've got logs too..
Thanks for coming! Yes but this was recorded in Georgia. I stopped there on my way to Florida
Hey this is funny that I found this tonight. NS #9000 just went through here (Christiansburg, VA) this afternoon. Guess it gets around, not the first time I've seen it through here, either.

There are 4 trains a day on this track?! That's a lot I thought it was exceptional

Cool video! Love the street running!
Do they have to stop for red lights lol
Can he make a right turn on red
I like train videos on you tube👍
David that's what my comment meant that it was extra long and I have never seen a street runner that long.
Just love watching here in nz have nothing like this here
I am glad that you like my videos! It is really cool to have my videos seen all the way in New Zealand
Wow. That was one looooooong train! I'll never understand why people built their towns ON the tracks! It's sooo unsafe, but you know, whatever floats your boat!
beautiful video, good job. thanks
Nice catch of the south bound. I have never been there, but know this line from one of my Pentax videos -- Streetrunning.
That sounds like a cool video! I love filming street runners. I have filmed them in a few states.
It is a good video, it starts out at LaGrange, KY, and goes all over the US. 73 KC0KM
The Hopper at 4:10 contained the stuff dreams are made of.
DetroitLove4U what was in it?
Very Cool ... I see a road trip in my future.
Out of this world.
Great catch on the NS. What were you pulled over for? I caught a NS engine on Saturday in Neenah. About 20 to 40 trains go through there
There should be gates at those intersections. Great video.
Semplicemente fantastico!! complimenti Jaw ❤
only thing I see wrong is you would think the lights at the intersections would be red for cross traffic a little sooner give the train more time for an all clear since there is no crossing gates.... but hey if theyll run a red light theyll run by crossing gates too I suppose!
good ol 6th street tracks.... im over in North Augusta!!!!
Another awesome video!
Back in 60s train went thru middle of town in Miltonfreewater, OR going to fruit packing plants. Was steam back then and all traffic stopped when the train was running.

Not many
nice-I watched all and i put a like on this too
always worth waiting when it's a train good vid!
Super.! Love it.
Keep it up 😉
Excellent video sub and like!
Thanks my friend Happy Sunday!
In that place, it has to suck if you waited all that time for that long train to clear the intersection, and it stops right before it completely clears it.
Ayeeeee thats my city! Good Ol Augusta! haha
Good Job Jaw Tooth. Tell Millenniumforce that i said hi.
awesome footage, sweet horn action
Good catch.I really enjoyed it.
Amazing video very well done!
Did you attend the Masters golf tournament when you were down THERE? Nice video!
Like watching grass grow.
Awesome video TY
Thanks Jawtooth, you held the camera steady for a longtime , slow train, and wind. However stay focused on the train and not blondes that get in your shot. I hold you to a high standard.
Did the wind almost blow your wig off Jaw Tooth? LOL
I wonder how many towns have to contact the railroad as they plan their 4th of July and other parades?
That was awesome! New Sub!
Reminds me of Elwood, Ind... Except much less frequently used...
nice one, jawtooth!
I guess they get to ignore red lights and stop signs! I have seen quite a few of your street running videos, and I'm still having a hard time wrapping my head around the concept. I imagine the engineer looking for a parking spot, and then parallel parking that sumbitch, or stopping the train to run in for some groceries. What about people who get stuck, parked on one side while they go to a shop on the other side, only to come out to see two miles of a solid steel wall between them and their car?
How many trains run though there daily. Do trains run there after dark
So......
You got pulled over?
SittingMoose Shaman, wow! Pulled over! Maybe some have never seen a street train... Should have showed them your TH-cam channel!
SittingMoose Shaman Police/Sheriff are only there doing their job, there was nothing wrong with making sure he wasn't out to do harm. I was questioned by police once for photographing on an overpass above a train line because someone thought I was photographing power pants for terroristic reasons. The officer really didn't feel like being there in the first place and found the entire call to respond pointless but he did it anyway.
Excellent!!! ☀️ ☀️ Thumbs up!!
the length of this train is crazy!!
Only 2 engines pulling that sucker? Ridiculous! Needed at least 2 DPUs as long as it was!
I've been to Augusta where the street runner tracks are. Sadly never saw a train
Anyone see that guy on the bike loose something? Haha, that's why you don't do that.
You were filming on 6th and Broad in downtown Augusta. The line you are filming is the (Norfolk Southern R Line) on the (NS Columbia District Subdivision) This line will cross the (CSX Monroe Subdivision) on the northeast side of Chester SC between Parkway Drive [716002U] and [861025W] a private road next to Masters Recycling at 515 Saluda Rd. in Chester.
The subdivision continues south into Columbia SC. on its way to Augusta Georgia. As it crosses over the Savannah Rive trestle north of Reynolds St. the crossings down 6th Street are as follows;
Reynolds [864837M]
Broad Street/BUS-25 [864838U]
Ellis Street [864839B]
Green Street/GA-28 [864840V]
Telfair Street [864841C]
Walker Street [864842J]
Watkins Street [864843R]
Fenwick Street [864844X]
This subdivision will merge with (CSX McCormick Subdivision) and will become the (CSX Augusta Subdivision) under Walton Way. This track will exit off of 6th Street at Taylor [864846L]
(companies and subdivisions in parenthesis)[FRA Crossing Data in Brackets]
I want to get back down there and film some more. When I was there, the Masters golf tournament was going on. The Ramada Inn has a view of the street runners. I tried to get a room there. It was $350 a night because of the golf tournament but the rude manager wouldn't even tell me if the room faced the railroad. He was busy flirting with a girl who worked there so I just left. I want to film down at the Fenwick end of the street when I return. The NS Officer Car Special was there also and I got some video of it.
Bummer on the Ramada Inn. $350 a night is quite steep.
Nice video.
what does the scouter say about the engines power level, IT'S OVER 9000 !!!!!

Super Big smile :-) Cheers Ulli
Hey friend what camera are you using?
I used an IPhone 6S+
Jaw Tooth wow it looked like a go pro to me
How often do these trains run through the street ?
I don't know but we saw 2 trains in 6 hours. I wanted to stay at the Ramada Inn next to the tracks to see how many use it but they tripled the price of staying there because there was a golf tournament going on. ( The guy at the counter was rude anyway ). Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the info'.
Daily, usually early morning 8:45 and a afternoon train 5:00 and a 9:00 train.
Amazing catch
1:25 IT'S OVER 9000 LOL
nice video I love trains too
Thank you for watching! Millenniumforce and I will be in Fostoria tomorrow and near Cincinnati on Sunday. I see that you are a fan of his. Did you get to railfan with him when he was out west ?
Hey, wait a minute. Were you filming the train or the young lady standing on the corner? Oh, where did she go? She disappeared! Nope, she took the long way around. And there she goes again.
