Hello JT I loved in the beginning, showing the crossings, and one of them had the planks for the Crossing that’s from back in the day and that’s a great thing to model for my Era thanks 👍🏻🚂🚂
Great to show the abandoned tracks as well as the coal train going through, glad that dog got across just in time and always glad to see your dogs and other pets in the videos as well Thank You for yet another great video Jaw Tooth.🤠👍🐈⬛🐕🦺🐕🦺🐈⬛ 🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🇺🇲💨
Great video JT. I grew up in Ashland. The track closest to the river was from Armco going from the main mill up to the foundry at 23rd St. The next ripped up track used to be the west bound main, the next in service track was the yard lead for the Ashland yard and the 4th track was the East bound main. When I was in high school the main lines went around the yard on both sides. Then Chessie changed the track around and made the two closest tracks to the floodwall the main lines. Before that you had the yard lead also split and go around the yard on both sides so trains could pull up to exchange cars in the yard east or west bound without blocking the mains. There was a yard tower at 34th St that I used to ride my bike to and watch the GP9s switching the yard. Once, one of the yard crews asked if I'd like to ride. Of course I said yes. After I got on we came down river to the end of the yard by downtown. There they let me run the engine for about an hour. We were out of sight from the tower.The track through Ashland was basically triple track from Big Sandy Junction to Russell Yard at that time.
And Brian I just want to express my appreciation for all the wonderful videos that you post they are absolutely mind blowing keep up the fantastic work they are awesome just like you 😎
What a long train. How cool can you get and fast too. Little dogs worry me along tracks. Always make my day when I see one of your train videos. 😊We love the angles and views the way you film these trains. Love the NS with the DPU. ❤ Loki is a big boy. Sweet fur babies. Thanks Mr JT.❤😊
You got some great trains here JT. I counted 239 cars on the 1st coal train, as did a couple others. On the 3rd train, outside Ashland, exactly half way into the train, 61 cars, is a grainer that your old buddy, Hobo Shoestring, would call "a full Cadillac ride". Don't see a lot of them. Thanks for a great video.
I thought for sure that train with six locomotives would have been REALLY long! Enjoyed watching and seeing that huge train bridge! Will have to go visit that soon. Thanks for another great video JT!!!
Hi JT, i love this crossing i remember it being 4 tracks shame its now 2. but it has great trains! Hope the little dog ok where was its owner i wonder, should have been on a lead. Nice area to film JT! ❤😊
The jagged piles of ties and rails are almost like a final salute to the passing trains on the mainline. You can tell winter isn't far away with the high number of propane tank cars out there. Apparently the second CSX coal train is headed to a dumper where they will be uncoupled because the colored ends aren't matching up for rotary tipping. The NS train with the UP unit was certainly testing the old bridge steel with all the loads of new steel. Plenty of older Freight cars as well as railroads and companies no longer around. It appears Loki was staring at the goats pondering if it should conduct a roundup of them but then thought Ahhh it's too much like work. Thanks for today's railroad action Roundup.
Wow, that is a low clearance under the rusty girder bridge you showed briefly after the first two trains. There is not even a sign on it showing the clearance. You got some great trains that day, nice work!
974 axles on that first coal train means there were 239 coal gondola cars on the train. 974 minus 18 acles for the three locomotives means 956 gondola car axles. When you divide the 956 axles by four axles per car, you end up with 239 gondola cars. This was a very loong train. The cars on this train appeared to me to be empty because I did not see any coal peeking up over the sides of the gondolas. The loaded CSX coal train in Kenova, West Virginia was also a long train. I enjoyed watching this video of the trains that you caught at Ashland, Kentucky and Kenova, West Virginia, Jaw Tooth!
WOW 6 CSX Locomotives! Coal keeps lights on, spot on. Even a 4M sq ft EV battery plant in Kanas is having to upgrade & use coal fired power plants requiring 250 megawatts of power or enough to power a city io make EV car batteries mandated by Fed gov't.
Super mixed freight going over the bridge! ❤ Do you know when the bridge was built JT? It looks pretty old. I hate crossing the Ohio River. I have a phobia about long bridges. 😊😊😊😊
Speaking of coal trains one really hot summer day, a coal train on the way into Salina Ks. I guess the rail had gotten so hot that it couldn't handle the weight, and the train derailed. I cannot remember how many cars toppled over, but it was a big mess. UP runs coal trains through this area to a power plant near Topeka.
50 years I was 12 they shut down the rail. Before that we had 350 cars on a train average. 5 years ago they put down cement ties and welded rail .it is a commute train and at night they run short freight trains.
Nicely done! Great finds sir! And that coal train was massive, I'm assuming it was empty. Then 6 locomotives??!! Wow! I can't wait to show my boys this one, they love counting the locomotives.
I think it's a short sighted mistake whenever the railroads cut capacity. There are a lot of scrapped assets the railroads wish they'd have never gotten rid of. Great video, enjoyed it much, thanks JT!
Goodness I’d probably have a quick sleep waiting for that first train to go past you wouldn’t want to be running late for work 😂 I’d never used the term booking for speed until I started watching this channel, it’s funny the reaction I get from my friends and family, that second train had some where to be 😆 I haves always loved watching the really long trains with different carriages from when I was a kid watching them with dad and or my grandpa 😊
I was there in late September, and the tracks were officially torn out. Edit: The wooden grade was no longer there, and part where the tracks were, is now just a pile of ties facing towards the bridges in to Ashland

Glad you enjoyed it!
Coal, it keeps the lights on. Awesome job JT.👍🏼😎
Thanks 👍
Breaks my heart to see track removed. Thanks Brian. God bless
Mine too! I try to film them before they are gone. God bless you also!

Yes, it is a scrap dealer and they have their own little end cab switcher@@FabianDiazTrainsTrucksNCars
OMG that's a long long train WOW
thanks for watching!
HiJT you have such wonderful videos to watch thanks again❤❤❤
I love seeing Norfie. Beautiful cat ❤
great shot on first train
Great spots to see trains.The more locomotives the better.
Many thanks!
Another cool set of trains. Thanks, Jaw Tooth.
Excellent catch, JT, including a massive, coal train, thank you.
Thank you too!
Really nice mixed freight. Beautiful area to film trains too. 😊😊😊
Thank you very much!
You filmed some good CSX and NS trains, I like the big coal trains loaded and empty!🛤🚂
Hey jaw tooth cool trains. That's a very long bridge. Lots of live action son. Have a great railroad day 🙋♀️🚂
Magnificent catches of the trains coming by and pass, I like it 5 stars, keep up the great work, Brian.
Amazing videos jaw tooth keep up the good work
You're right JT. It was super long! 239 coal cars. Nearly unbelievable. I love long trains! ❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊

Both coal related trains were mind blowing long. that is one cool place for a rail fan. thank you.
Thanks for watching

Awesome as always JawTooth 👌👌👍👍👌🤗

That coal train was crazy long wow, awesome video again.
Thank you very much!

Really interesting about the river that close and very wide..thanks for sharing..
Thanks for watching
Great show JT 👍👍👍👍👍🇬🇧
That's a big coal train with 1,000 axles! That must make about 250 cars. I've rarely seen a train that long!
You need a packed lunch waiting for that first train to pass.😂😂😂
I figure it was approx 14,600 ft
I thought for sure that train with six locomotives would have been REALLY long! Enjoyed watching and seeing that huge train bridge! Will have to go visit that soon. Thanks for another great video JT!!!
Thank you very much!
Eastbound and Down, Loaded Up and Trackin’
Great stuff JT. I thought Ashland was a street running town. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
It looks like the pup wants to herd the critters.
That dog picked a good time to cross
He had to book
Wow 235 cars that's mighty impressive 😊
That is one humongous coal train. Pretty amazing.
I google mapped ashland, panned out, went left and right, WOW there is a LOT of railroading around there.🚂🚂
I wish I could film the locomotive facility at that huge yard
Hi JT, i love this crossing i remember it being 4 tracks shame its now 2. but it has great trains! Hope the little dog ok where was its owner i wonder, should have been on a lead. Nice area to film JT! ❤😊

Great video gotta love those coal trains thanks Brian
Thanks for watching
The look of a long coal train just appears more impressive than other trains.
OUTSTANDING! this vid belongs in the hall of fame along with JT!
I never imagined trains could be that long. They sure were holding up traffic.
That first one was approx 14,600 ft
@@neanderthal88 is that more than 2miles
Merci beaucoup pour cette très belle vidéo ! 👍🙏
Wow JT I believe they emptied the yard on this train.!!
That was awesome JT, another 200+ car train must be 239 if my math is correct. Very close too those massive iron ore trains in Australia.
You're correct
Wow that’s a lot of coal… think it’s empty but still, there might be more coal stuck to the sides than in my house! (We have no coal there)
@abzolute you could say that again.
EV Fuel
Great great video. 😊😎👍👍👍!!!
That bridge is spectacular!
thanks for watching
Wow, that is a low clearance under the rusty girder bridge you showed briefly after the first two trains. There is not even a sign on it showing the clearance.
You got some great trains that day, nice work!
Thanks for watching!
10 mile train awesome. Denis from Santa Rosa CA
The puppy is so much bigger than Chessy now.

Wow! Awesome catch Brian! I love coal trains as well!
Thanks!
@@JawTooth You're welcome!
Excellent video from interesting places. 👍
Many thanks!
1st Train: 3 engines and 239 cars
I love long trains like this
Awesome trains. Thanks for the video stay well roll on
Thanks, will do!
Amazing! That’s a very long train!
Very!
WOW 6 CSX Locomotives! Coal keeps lights on, spot on. Even a 4M sq ft EV battery plant in Kanas is having to upgrade & use coal fired power plants requiring 250 megawatts of power or enough to power a city io make EV car batteries mandated by Fed gov't.
Amazing it 18:10 super like 👍 greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷
Thank you! Cheers!
That is one big, long train! 😮
Jaw tooth I rodger Presley from Russell County Lebanon Virginia really like all of your videos of all the trains
Great video JT,a lot of train action, very cool, coal trains very cool.👍👌😇
Thank you very much!
Good morning Jaw Tooth.
Mid air railroad! Thanks.
You bet!
Super mixed freight going over the bridge! ❤ Do you know when the bridge was built JT? It looks pretty old. I hate crossing the Ohio River. I have a phobia about long bridges. 😊😊😊😊
I love your train Bridges web some nice ones leaving St Louis crossing the Mississippi
Cool, thanks!
What is the statue by the river?This is a great way to see America and the hard working trains.

Nicely done! Great finds sir! And that coal train was massive, I'm assuming it was empty. Then 6 locomotives??!! Wow! I can't wait to show my boys this one, they love counting the locomotives.
Thank you very much!
Thanks as always, JT. Love your videos, they're pretty good... loved the long trains!!! And as you say... awesome!! Nice pond!
Thank you very much!
😅look there,aone licht blue painted RR bridge, they are mostly rost brown,coooool.👍👍👍👍
I think it's a short sighted mistake whenever the railroads cut capacity. There are a lot of scrapped assets the railroads wish they'd have never gotten rid of. Great video, enjoyed it much, thanks JT!
I agree with you
I agree with you !
JT U sure found a great place for really long trains!
I like going over there. That is one of my favourite places
@@JawToothHave you been to the wye interchange that's just to the north of DeCoursey?
Oh yeah, a bunch. I filmed that derailment there@@dsmith9964
Awesome video but wait there’s more 👍😎🇺🇸🚂👍
More to come!
Wow that was a whopper! I counted a phwacking 219 cars ..never seen a 200+ before. 😃
Goodness I’d probably have a quick sleep waiting for that first train to go past you wouldn’t want to be running late for work 😂
I’d never used the term booking for speed until I started watching this channel, it’s funny the reaction I get from my friends and family, that second train had some where to be 😆
I haves always loved watching the really long trains with different carriages from when I was a kid watching them with dad and or my grandpa 😊
Those were some fast zero turns going under the tressel.
Thats what I was thinking, longest coal train I've ever seen 😊
thanks for watching!
There should be a “National Fossil Fuels Day”, observing the enormous power and the responsible use of these fuels.
I agree. I think most people agree but you will always have a few noisy protestors
Another great video !
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank for the video Jaw tooth ☕️
Norfie we miss you
Loki sure would like to get over there and play? With the goats. ❤❤
Excellent Video JT
💮🚂🇮🇳💮🚂
Thanks 💯
Love the coal train! ❤❤❤ They were working hard to pull all of that! 😊😊😊
You got that right!
Good video Jawtooth
Thanks!
Everything should be shipped by rail and trucks should be used for local delivery 🚚 only.
Very Good Video Jaw !!!!))))
Thanks 😁
I was there in late September, and the tracks were officially torn out.
Edit: The wooden grade was no longer there, and part where the tracks were, is now just a pile of ties facing towards the bridges in to Ashland
The longest train I have ever seen was in this area 250 cars. It was a coal train, impressive.
Nice catch of the CSX coal drag and it was a MASSIVE one bcuz I counted 239! I may be wrong but damn !
that was a good one. one of my longest
