- NS 19K is too long for siding needs to hold the main-line as priority train NS 181 needs to take the siding to go around them... Filmed in Clymers, Indiana
Very interesting how the train cuts right through the town! Cool video!
@@charliebrooks2570 thank you so much for watching
Great catch with stellar camera work. Love seeing the 86' boxcars! Thank you for all your hard work!
@@alschuler5437 thank you so much for watching…
Boxcars that haul auto parts.
Excellent footage Sir!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
@@davidhopson729 thank you David for watching
Good video enjoy watching your videos from Linton Indiana and stay safe and warm out there!!!!
@@raybonhomme404 thank you so much for watching
What a catch with the 32 boxes and a DPU! Glad you didn’t cut the film. Show the entire train. Those turquoise closed hoppers were amazing as well. They must brand new: no rust or graffiti on them.
@@reginaldwilkinson6019 thank you so much for watching
@@therailroadtiespiker Any idea what the capacity of those hopper cars are? I can't make out the data
Very cool 😎 freight trains 🚆 video 📹 awesome 👌 captures 👍👏👌
@@trevorcooke8129 thank you Trevor for watching
Awesome video! Love your camera work❤
Look at all of those beautiful un-tagged hoppers! Blank canvas for railroad Rembrandts!
@@lynwoodreed9032 within a few weeks they’ll be all tagged up.
Love those meets. 19K was very long
@@RICKCOPE-q9d it’s been running really long lately same with 30N.
1st train 89 cars wow. 34 cars all boxcars rare anymore with a dpu nice 175 3rd train with up dpu . here in raleigh nc 1'' is a snow day . the high will be 33. great trains . you are the best,
@@chipford9694 they’re saying it will be 40 degrees next week and I can’t wait.
Boxcars are very common on the old Wabash line. Most are carrying auto parts, some are loaded with frames-I suppose for pickups since I don't think any cars are built with separate frame any more.
Now that's certified Norfolk Southern with those PSR trains.... We occasionally in St. Louis get those giant box cars they sit in Berkeley at times in the siding by Lambert Airport. Currently we got a cut of empty well cars. Nice catch surprised 19K got to that long in the first place.
What does "certified NS" mean? Looks like any other long train moving the tonnage assigned to it to me.
@@cdavid8139 I mean NS does have some of these big manifests across the network. They are known for it
@@Scorges1 Got ya. So does CSXT, CN, CP, UP, FXE, FSR. BNSF doesnt run PSR but they do run this type of train. Just curious where the 'certified' comment came from.
@@cdavid8139 They do I rarely see BNSF do it in these parts mostly NS/UP. UP here adds just about everything to the entire consist and NS a nice mixed manifest with a ton of racks on the rear.
@@Scorges1 BNSF started running our monster intermodal trains over a decade ago. Still do. That's the point of PSR. Why run a autorack train in a separate consist from Jacksonville to New York when you can just add it to a train already scheduled to run. Save hundreds of crew hours and 1/2 the time live on track for the dispatchers.
Them hobos are going to be upset, those nice shiny new hoppers have no hidey holes 😢
Awesome video
@@quintinthemississippirailfan thank you for watching
Surprised they don’t have slower speed limits in that street running city. He was moving pretty fast
@@MarkHoezee surprising they don’t the track speed is 30 mph same in Warsaw Indiana now in La Grange it’s only 10 mph and I believe it goes up to 20 mph after they head in is off the street.
I'm confused (not an unusual condition!). If the manifest train was too long for the siding, wouldn't it block the entrance and exit ends of the siding for the "priority" train?
@@chrishylton3080 I was told it had something to do with the signal on the siding and where it is placed.
I wonder how bad of a ride it is when the train is traveling on bad track. Looked like NS118 was bobbing and weaving quite a bit.
@@kyleridder3930 the tracks are pretty rough for a siding that’s used all the time.
Bobbing n weaving? You shoulda seen the RockIsland back in its heyday. It was downrite scary, but most times they got it done, regardless how it all ended.
@ just like the Penn Central days they had very bad track
They had all sorts of issues PPD PPM PPU
@@Jeff-fx1zy That was a bumpy ride, took it many times between Chicago and Lasalle. Still better than the bus.
If they are too long for the siding, they are also too long to fit on the main between the switches!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
@@ICUNA22 it had something to do with where the signals are placed is what I was told.
Going to run these massive trains? The needed infrastructure has to be built to accommodate two mile long trains. One of these super-duper long trains was stopped near our house; it had a locomotive problem. It blocked two station, one with a yard, for two hours. A locomotive from fifty miles away came to help, all this on a double tracked section while VIA and CN trains went around as if on a single track with sidings.
@@geoffreylee5199 this happened about a month ago in Delphi Indiana but on single track and held up train traffic for about 4 hours. What a mess it was
Sidings are indeed being extended or built throughout North America. (US, MX and CA). Part of the process as technology enables the longer trains.
Any reason NS can't line up a restricting signal so he could get moving much sooner? Yellow signal isn't much move favorable, it being daytime obviously, so a restricting would probably be better choice then just sitting there on the crossing.
Not far from me (Lafayette, IN)
I wonder how long till those hopper cars are trashed with graphite...some call it art l call it vandalism
Another one of gods creations,aerosol spray cans ,let's do away with them cause idiots won't know how to use a paint brush
I agree. Vandalism is the art of stupid people
Quite a few auto parts trains through there.
@@TheIronweed-vx5lg yes it’s pretty much the main route from Detroit to St Louis.
181 was a auto. Parts train
@@kenrosser8160 yes the hottest train on that line with the 2 Triple Crowns.
This Happens a Lot more Often than we See or Hear about. Precision Scheduled Railroading (PSR) was a Bean Counters Dream and he is D-E-A-D. 🤪👎
Don't worry EH HARRIMAN wrote a book that explains it all .l
It is absolutely not dead and it has been adapted by most railroads in North America (and many nations throughout the world).
That bean counter may be dead, but PSR lives on
Dude, that’s the one that we saw today lol
too fast for street running. especially with the condition of the track. that's a disaster waiting to happen
@@dpdanciu they were supposed to do a complete rebuilding of the tracks last summer but as you can see they only worked on the west side of the tracks as it comes onto the street run. That was really getting bad with a really bad dip just before the crossing.
If the trains have to stop like that they need to remove the crossings and build overpasses. Then the stopped trains wouldn't hold up automobile traffic.
why do they have trains going down the roads
@@helenfining7675 because they used to unload trains on street runs 150 years ago and since it’s America they’ve never relocated the track because that would cost money.
Most likely the houses were built after the tracks were
@ actually the neighborhood was there almost 20 years before that line was put in but it was done back in the 1860s way before vehicles cluttered the street.
@@therailroadtiespiker They seem to run a lot faster than the Monon did down 5th street in Lafayette. I believe they were limited to 10 mph.
@ in La Grange the speed limit is 10 mph. On this line the speed limit is 30 mph same in Warsaw.
Here is another issues with the long trains you bean counters just can't absorb .
They absolutely absorb it. That is why the industry is spending millions lengthening sidings and updating systems.
Awwww--- the poor big RR's dont know how long a train they run will fit in a siding. POOR BABIES!! Maybe if they went back to the older systems, there would be less problems, delays, derailments, and crews running out of hours.
We absolutely know which trains can take which sidings. And yes it is true the longer trains at times produce problems and there are days where problems do occur. The same thing happened when the average train length in the US increased from 10 to 20 cars, or when we began running 100 car unit trains. The industry adapted, new technology, increased siding length, altered dispatch systems, adjusted crew calling and moved forward.
Must be a US thing, building houses around rail lines; then adding on-street parking Sheesh.
@@geoffreylee5199 well the street was there first then the track was laid down.
Your title is misleading. The train wasn't too long for the siding. The dispatcher didn't want to run 161 + train through that terrible siding. Did you see how all those box cars were wopling down that track and there's a speed limit on it until the entire train gets out of the siding. That was just a dispatchers call. Still a good video do you know what the priority train was about? They all looked like what we used to call auto parts cars. They are big son of a guns aren't they?
@@mrhot6shot actually they run really long trains on that siding all the time I just filmed one the other day that was over 150 cars long. Thank you for watching
The title is dead-on accurate
