- Car gets hit hard by a railroad crossing gate while a train was doing some railroad switching. Then a boat breaks off the RR crossing arm. This is my first time to film both new locomotives working together. I caught 1657 on its first a month ago. Cincinnati Eastern Railroad recently got both these GP15-1 units. Today they were working together to switch 4 track Afton Yard near Batavia, Ohio. I filmed the whole thing. If its boring just skip to 12:25 to see the car get hit by the gate. The Boat took the gate out at. A crew quickly arrived to repair the gate while the crew was out of sight switching. This video also shows the new customer construction. Purina is building a HUGE dog food processing plant that will reportedly give 6 car loads a day to CCET. This is going to be a major customer and CCET is really going to be busy. They have already added a score of customers to this line that Norfolk Southern gave up on. This video also shows my dogs playing and has a slide show at the end. Since I filmed this in 4K this long video took 22 hours to download. Filmed September 2, 2021. Thanks for watching!

12:25 White car gets hit by gate
And 28:20 gate gets destroyed by boat
The Live Action moments!!
@@JawTooth Indeed thanks for the live action
Problem solved.
Thank you
The gate was not destroyed. They put it back where it belonged. They are designed to breakaway and easily be reinstalled. What does destroy them is when they break away and end up laying across the tracks. I have run over many of them and they usually end up in 3 pieces.
Today is a good day because jaw tooth uploaded
I appreciate that and thanks for being the second person to comment!
I was taught not to cross railroad tracks until the flashing red lights stop flashing. Treat it as a traffic light. Not when the gate starts going up. Thats running a red light.
The truck with the boat had started across the tracks before the bells started going off or the gate started down.
This place is very difficult place .Japanese language is (AKAZUNOFUMIKILI) no open cross gate . Driver is very angry place but railfan is very happy place .thank you .
Looked like it hit that boat, and thanks for the kind words of support
Have you been fully vaccinated?
WWOT get better and back to filming great vids. I enjoy JT and WWOT as my main train vids 👍
Wow, that was epic!! Can't help thinking that the crossing controls are set much too fine. You can see drivers hesitate as the barriers bounce up and down so quickly. Thought the train man did a brilliant job on such a busy crossing!!
they were clearly doing yard/siding switching, probably too many complaints about being blocked for long periods, so they made it close closer to the crossing. then along come covid19 and longer trains than usual, causing overlength switching jobs to trigger the gates again.
everyone wants their junk products delivered timely, yet nobody wants to wait for the product to be moved or be the workers moving it! how's the lack of products working out? lol.
Good to see new rail customers. Ive seen too many tracks pulled up over the years. Hopefully you can catch the 1st delivery on the new rail spur when finished
You did get the left crossing arm being knocked off at 28:23. The boat was halfway through the crossing when the arm came down.
I thought it was broken off further out, maybe they are designed to come out of the actuator so they're not chopped to bits!?
Super great seeing the new locos. Wonder if they have a new car smell in the cab. Those gates had a work out. Beautiful day for train watching. Great job Jaw Tooth.
New car smell is chemistry. Most of which causes bad effects in humans.
Hello from the UK. AS I have said before, this is where the real activity takes place on the railways, not just watching trains speed by on the main lines. For non-rail fan motorists, I feel their frustration at waiting, seeing a train go over the crossing and then the barriers lift and drop down again. It must feel like the crossing is deliberately taunting them!
Bet there were some ticked off drivers. I admit I would be.
If any of them are feeling frustrated at that try Tallington crossing my record is 35 minutes queueing
@@edwinfitchett6033 Agggggh!!
I don’t totally blame the boat puller, given the way those gates were poorly working. But the driver should have observed the flashing reds.
THIS is a great video!! I really enjoyed this one. Love the switching action and your radio in there made it more real. Hard to imagine the amount of coordination that goes on in that operation. EVEN harder to imagine the amount of stuff you do getting this downloaded, edited, perfected, and uploaded for me to enjoy!! I have a little knowledge of that part and I appreciate all your work here. Ya done good!! Thanks for letting me railfan from here.
The Crossing Arms should have been rigged to stay up, and someone from the RR directed traffic. The boat didn't hit the Crossing Arm, the Crossing Arm hit the boat. All vehicles struck by the Crossing Arm should be entitled to repair for dents and scratches. I worked 25+ years in industry around heavy rail traffic, this situation was handled poorly, I understand the need for the RR's movements but they need to be mindful of the traffic, it's very confusing to see those crossing arms going up and down incessantly.
Seems that crossing needs a good systems check. Sensors maybe need replaced.
No they're working just fine.
This is a switch out sometimes they'll raise the gate some car or 2 pass and then as soon as they start moving again they're down again.
Hi Jaw Tooth - The gate hit the car at frame 12:30 - 😎 RR Scam 👀
• Cheers from the Detroit & Mackinac Railway 🚂
The Turtle Route? Gotta give it to LSRC, they likely saved that road from being ripped up.
When the traveling switch engine or the local pulls a coustomer, the cars pulled will probably be going to different customers in different areas of the continent. So everything needs to be switched to line them up for the right train, or take to the interchange. I would thing that this short line probably interchanges with one or maybe two railroads. Then the railroad that received the cars at the interchange will switch them out for the correct train.
I swear to get me a shirt that says, "I see stupid people".
Great footage!
I'm pretty sure he said "dumbass" :) That's the least of my thoughts - dangerous stuff! Trains don't navigate broken pieces of gate very well. Ah well - impressive construction!
Well, this was a good morning. A cup of coffee and some short line opps. Thanks JT.
I must be a real Railfan because I watched the entire video and enjoyed it! I never tire of trains. And I thought the gate arms were designed to disconnect easily from the post in event of a collision. Or not. Lol. Idk.
Thank you very much! Yes, they quickly repaired the gate. I didn't know that they could do it that fast
This is gonna add some good jobs in that area, they need them. It is quite a complex. The line picked a cool color scheme for their locos.
Big $$ in the Pet Food industry.
Not boring at all! Bring on the switching videos. Reminds me of hanging out and watching the CB&Q switching Edward Hines Lumber in Downers Grove, IL and the small yard there. A few tracks were about 20 feet below the mainline so we got to watch a brakeman ride the cars down the stub tracks after they were cut loose. Mostly boxcars of bricks from what I recall.
That large building at the Purina plant appears to be one of those automated warehouses with the really high pallet racking. Could be a lot of good business for CEE, covered hoppers of grains and cereals in, frozen/fridge cars of meats in and boxcars filled with pallets of products outbound. CEE is going to be busy! Could have a lot of potential as a modelling project.

Lots of steel in that building - many, many tons. Must have a wild foundation.
Hi JT
Cool vlog.
As an old signalling tech support engineer I'd love to look at a set of crossing diagrams to see how they differ from UK crossing operation parameters
Watched 100% - I need to invest in a 4K monitor. The State Transportation people need to watch your video. That crossing job reminded me of the Keystone Cops.
14:04, I like the use of those colorful verb and noun words.
Can your doggies be taste testers once Purina is up and running?🙂
Although I have nothing for those who run RR crossings, this is a case where the RR SHOULD be paying for car and boat damage. These gates go up and down (for no reason) more often then then the doors on the local Walmart opening and closing.
The gates are probably working properly. They could possibly make adjustments in the length of the circuits, that would give a little more time after the bells start ringing and the lights start flashing before the gates start down. But it would probably keep the gates down longer. Which would probably tick off more people, except the rail fans, who like to watch the switching.
AWESOME SWITCHING ACTION! Not boring to me, it’s how the RR’s earn their money. So glad they painted that grungy blue diesel. Great video Brian
Thanks Dave!
There a few locomotives on CCET that fit the description of "grungy blue diesel" but none of them are in this video. Are you saying that you've found out it's been repainted in some other way?
The locomotives in this video are a pair of EMD GP15-1s, numbers 1657 and 1686, which the railroad has acquired in the last couple of months. They've been in this rather fine black and red paint scheme for as long as CCET has had them.
The grungy blue diesel could be either one of the two GE B36-7s that the railroad has (numbers 5758 and 5795, from memory) or the GP49 that they used to have, which was painted in blue and yellow Alaska Railroad colours but with the word "Alaska" painted over. That was either number 2806 or 2807 -- I forget which was which; the other one was also repainted into a handsome black livery. They sold the GP49s a year or two ago.
@@beeble2003 Yep you’re correct, I over assumed
@@TheCheffydave Damn, I was secretly hoping you were right and you had some other information that one or both of the B36-7s had been repainted! 🤣 Maybe some day, huh?
I remember being in Marysville, Ohio near the Honda plant and I was impressed at how the roads and the facilities were constructed and maintained so I’m sure Purina will get the same treatment also “chewy” sent me our orders in two days….our beagle like the “beef and peas” pro plan and plus my wife always commented on how good it smelled…..
CE gates down weather hot 🥵 trans hom good gates down like video 👍 summer gates down weather hot 🥵 like video
Gates have breakaway shear pins to try to prevent heavy damage to the gate and or vehicle when hit . Sometimes it’s a simple repair. My railroad had keyed circuit interrupter at signal box that the train crew used and used flag protection for the crossing during switching.
I really like the new paint scheme for the Cincinnati Eastern Railroad both of the original locomotives are former CSX Transportation Locomotives and the Number boards are both numbered in the 1600’s.
Omg he killed the crossing gate 😱YOU BASTARD 😡28:27
Gosh, something sure is the matter with those crossing gates - the way they go up and down causing damage to motor vehicles. Hope they got them fixed. J.T., you are right about those GP15-1's being very pretty and good sounding locomotives. Beautiful. Thanks for the video.
The problem is that they're triggered by proximity detectors on the track. There are two types of detector: some just detect the presence of a train close to the crossing; others measure how fast the train is moving. Both of these have problems with switching manoeuvres. With the first kind of detector, if the train moves slightly too far from the crossing, the detector says, "OK -- the train's gone" and lifts the gates. With the second kind, if the train stops for too long, the detector says "OK -- the train's still close to the crossing but it's not on it and it's stopped" and opens the gates. It may be that the detectors need to be adjusted.
Those gates are a mess. Train workers calling the drivers a "dumbass" when the bells ring for a second then the arm comes down real fast and hits a trailered boat that was already committed to crossing the tracks.
@@joeblow5154 The gates are certainly a mess. However, the bells had been ringing for fully six seconds at the point when the gate struck the boat. It's unclear how long the lights had been flashing before the bells started.
@@beeble2003 It looked about 3 seconds before the arm came down fully @ 6 seconds. That ain't much time if your pulling a heavy trailer behind. I'm just saying they need to give it few seconds longer for traffic to react. Not everyone has lightning quick reflexes to make a decision and carry it out.
@@joeblow5154 I suppose I cheated a bit by counting time from the bell to the strike rather than the bell to the gate moving. But, hey, three seconds is better than nothing, right? At 20:55, you see that, simultaneously, the lights start flashing, the bell start sounding and the gates come down. At least that time, the crossing was manned so no traffic was moving. They definitely need to get the crossing fixed.
G'day, Jaw Tooth! Nice job! Enjoyed the video! That was a really good catch... Switching Short Line - Cincinnati Eastern Railroad. By the way... Hearing there 2-way radio communication, (example: crossing occupied) really helped in the narration! Thank you!
Cheers! 🚂✌🏻❤️
Sometimes the railroad gate will hit the car making a BOING sound
You got the job done A+ across-the-board and yes I did watch the whole video you keep up the good work I'm going to watch a little Monster Jam and get ready to watch Nascar tomorrow You all take care now you hear talk to you soon
It seems most of the Cincinnati locos are constantly bleeding air. I don't notice it much on other clips but it is constant here. Cool video though. Thanks for posting JT.
I must be watching a lot of these videos-last night I dreamed about having to make up a consist! Never did that in real life, but as a kid was fascinated with trains.
I like train videos videos on TH-cam jawtooth 👍
They need better manual control of those gates. When the train is stopped just short of the crossing, the gates go up, and then when it starts moving again it's half way across the road before the gates come down again. They need to manually close the gates in that instance, instead of waiting for the detector to kick in.
Be careful “ WIDE WORLD of TRAINS “ tested positive for Covid, let’s pray for him .
Yes, I saw that. I hope he gets better sooon
Big 10-4 on the prayers 🙏🙏
@@Kingninewillnotreturn56 Rog O Dee!
I watched the entire video son, I must be a true rail fan.....but now I am afraid of getting knighted
Lol, half the fun is seeing if the cars are going to get through the gates! You were lucky to be there Jaw Tooth!, thank you for sharing it!!
Not surprised that a car got hit by that gate ! That is crazy! They need to fix it with a better signal length. Bet it drives cars crazy!
Def interesting video. I am assuming that switching is what we call shunting in Australia? I am guessing that NZ calls it shunting as well
wow Brian this was awesome catch, Thanks gee man i wish you could let me know when you was Missouri i could have shown you and yours the out of service CSX b and o St louis east. it would be good to see where the moth ball line begin and almost end, but thanks and please stay safe.
Thanks Erik! I was only there a couple of days and hopefully I can get back there again
@@JawTooth cool i will let you know on F B Messenger or let me know thanks. BTW show you and yours where B and O old roundhouse and yards once stood. pretty cool :-)
And jaw tooth and that's cool two new engine powerful good sounding horn❤😊
That was special - something you don’t see everyday
Not boring at all
Great video
Those cars getting hit
Stupid is as stupid does
Good morning from SE Louisiana 4 Sep 21.
I can't believe that I watched the whole video.That crossing and gate is a Hot Mess!
With the new Purina plant coming maybe someone will bring that line up to a better condition.
Thumbs up.
Thanks Steve! I can't wait to see what kind of track they put in for the plant.
Them signals are sure screwed up no wonder why the boat hit it
Me and my dad used to video Conrail switching where we live South of Pittsburgh and they used GP15-1s. These sights and sounds bring back memories. Love this video!
Should have showed them your video so they could see what it was doing
That happens a lot in Le Grange Kentucky where everytime a CSX train shows up people will drive their cars around the gate
Great video Jawtooth loved the live action trains those crossing gates sure seemed to have a day of going up and down
All ways look for cross buck light if crossing rail road
I miss my railroad days. Your videos are NEVER boring. Thanks for all you do.
Glad you like them! Thanks Rojo!
Enjoyed this video very much. Looking forward to watching Purina being switched.
🚂 Great video Jawtooth. Did these guys know what they were doing at the crossing. Look like amateur hour. 🚂🚂
What part looks amateurish?
Hey JT...The general public does not have a clue how their toasters, vacuum cleaners and big screen TVs gets from one place to another. Thanks for showing the hard work our RR crews work to get us our stuff.
Great catch on this one.
I'm like you, they are some beautiful engines.
Take care. 😎👍👌
It looks like the gate was designed to be easily repaired. The end of the gate was cut square, so it didn't break there. The mounts look OK too, so they must have breakaway mounts that grip the gate end but break off on impact.
That is exactly it. They are designed to breakaway easily.
@@jasonk9779 I still would not want to challenge it with my Ford aluminum body pickup truck - feels like 12- or 15-hundred bucks to smooth and paint. And you don't want to make an insurance claim on that, excellent way to get rated up.
wasnt boring to me, the trains are pretty red coloring. nice and calm video too. there were a few close calls with cars trailors and gates tho. I seen the gate break, yes you got it on the video, what do they expect when the gates are going up and down and up and down, I mean really.
People are dumb when it comes to crossings. When I worked in St Bernard at P&G's rail yard a SnapOn truck put one of those arms through its passenger window at the Vine St crossing. On your comment about the cars all mixed up. Customers that have rail cars parked call for certain car numbers to be grabbed. So what happens is you have to go dig those cars out and that just mixes them all up.
Absolutely love your videos!!! The trains are so cool !!! Your dogs are adorable !!! Keep up the great work!!!!
Thank you very much!
Excellent
Video
🍂🙏🇮🇳🙏🍂
thanks for this special video.mine good old friend.have a nice weekend with yor familie.stay save.laterzzzzz. greetz:Peer.
Thanks, you too! Tell Tony we said hello!
An observation: each engine has a different exhaust layout. Good stuff!
Cool, thanks!
Good catch !
The different location for the exhaust stacks was probably an engineering chance to make something better. The two locomotives may have different dash numbers, ie GP15-1 and GP15-2.
Two loco,s one driver drive the 2 off them
And you saying "Those gates are actually pretty heavy" reminded me of a childhood memory from when I was staying with one of my Aunts for a while as a 5-year old, and the railroad was right outside her window, maybe 50 metres away (whatever that may be in feet?!), with crossing gates in a bit of a distance; And on one night I saw the gates going down just as a pedestrian was entering that crossing, and he got hit on the head by them, but strangely he just kept walking as if nothing even happened, and the gate stayed up in the position where it had hit him! 😳 This was in Germany in the mid 70's, by the way; I moved to NZ 25 years later 🙂 A couple more memories of that particular railroad: A steam train rolling by one snowy day in Winter and many of the passengers waving at me, and also: Passing aforementioned crossing just after a freight train had gone past and seeing its red tail ligh fall off onto the tracks 😀
That is interesting.
Awesome video. I Love to see some railroad switching action. Great to see those new Locomotives in action. They sure look and sound better than those old ones.
Cool video! Verrrrry interesting
What a mess, people should be responsable when they crossing. Great video 👍🏼
What was it a game of back and forth
Yes, lol
I’m Still Watching. 👍
Good to see some jobs coming to that area and for the RR. Hope it’s a expansion plant and some other place didn’t lose jobs. It was a great vid Jawtooth, not boring at all as far as I’m concerned. Keep it up 👍
Great video. You have to show the whole operation not just trains going down the tracks. I use to watch for hours when the GTW was by my home in Michigan.
The GPS. look and sound Great !! interesting change of pace rail fans watching switching operation. 5-Star video, JT !!!!
Many thanks!
Excellent video it was great to see two veteran locomotives still working hard in commercial service,both locomotives sounded sweet runners.This is my favourite type of railroad video it was interesting to see the switching.😃
Not a thing boring about this at all!
if those gates see much more action, they might actually have to grease the bearings on a regular basis!
Those guys likely repair crossing guard arms so often, they could do it in their sleep.
Jaw tooth what are they doing
Awesome video 🇺🇸👍😎
Those locos have a deep exhaust note, very nice!!
What is that hissing from the engines??
The hissing is the air opening and closing brake shoes on the locomotives. When line pressure exceeds what ever the max is, the pop off valves open reducing pressure.
Nice colors of the new locos
Cool stuff, thanks. Yep I’m a real railfan. You did catch that pickup breaking off that arm
Of course it is awesome, listening to the communication between the Engineer and Conductor is very good. Thank you Jawtooth :)
Thank you too!
Wow, that crossing is a nightmare - the lights and gates are completely out of sync with the movements of the train.
Nice train video.
Cool train video.
Boring? NEVER!!!
Haven’t heard or seen switching like that since I was a kid! Sounded awesome!
That’d been so cool when I was a kid to see. Ride your bicycle over there and watch them switch.
That logo looks awesome on the new locomotive!
Not boring at all. You can see why railroads try to put their yards in out of the way places
Yes, I bet the crossings are a nuisance for them. This crossing use to just be cross buck protected but the traffic on the road increased some years back.
28:25 wow! Snap!
Best video ever jaw tooth the suspenseyou can feel it
I'll bet the boat guy didn't even know But I suspect he kinda maybe
