It's eye opening when you see just how much is involved in putting a train together. If we added in the loading of the grain cars - that would be a long video! Thanks for braving the cold and snow!
That was an impressively long train there, Jaw Tooth, CSX will be absolutely delighted with that one, just as we have been absolutely delighted with this excellent video. Thanks for the fantastic video and for braving the cold for us, it is well worth the trouble you go to.
Thanks for being out in the cold. I live 28 miles north of Dallas and for about 13 hours we hit 0° f with a wind chill of -18° f. You going out in the cold to encourage my day is very appreciated. Thanks, brother!
The short lines are the ones that are interesting and need our support. Freezing cold day, yet there’s Jaw Tooth freezing his fingers off to get us a good video. Dedication, Thy name is Jaw Tooth.
Great video that give new meaning to the phrase, 'but wait, there's more!' After all that, a hot cup of coffee is a must! Thanks for braving the cold. Keep that video rolling!
This is one of my favorites filmed by you. It was so funny, when those hoppers kept coming, with no end in sight. I also like to see, older locomotives being used, in place of those newer higher powered units. Thank you.
A dispatcher friend who worked for SOO recalls the time he put a grain train in the siding as a blizzard was starting in ND. The crew reminded him for years about how much fun it is pulling out 5 cars at a time with snow packed around the discharge chutes. Glad to see you haven't hit those drifts.
That line looks like one near me; basically storage track. I think a lot of these short lines are surviving on storing rolling stock for the class 1 lines.
Have you seen the East Terminal Railway channel? th-cam.com/channels/ZDPxlyQo-gRMKJJxDIM7BQ.html They recently (late 2020) bought some sort of previously abandoned short line. I don't know that they have ever said _how_ short, but AFAIK they have only ever shown about 1,000 ft of track, so I suspect their short track may be little more the some sidings - I think they have two switches so perhaps as few as three lines total. Anyway their stated business model is to use the tracks for storage in "phase 1", then get to repairs of the cars in phase 2, and I think that is all they've ever said. They would have to get lucky with someone on land adjoining their track ever wanting to get _actual_ railroad service, and that has to be rather unlikely.
I never saw locomotives connect to a waiting train,great find! I'm surprised this cross country length train only required three locos,! Ten thumbs up jaw tooth,thanks for braving this cold to share this!
You are so dedicated to your channel to go out in that weather JT, or just plain crazy, either way I appreciate very much what you do to bring us great content. Stay safe and WARM.
Thanks for enduring the cold for the video. For such weather, consider cutting the fingertips off gloves as others have suggested or get some photographer's with fingertips that can be opened or closed. Also consider a tripod for cold long shots. You can't move as much but you can rest your hands and try to keep them thawed. 73.
Like the double C, the IO has a 'spitter'. While I appreciate your dedication, it's just too cold. You got a thumbs up for that. Good grief, Gertrude! That is one long grain drag! Dayum! On another note, you should invest in a parka and mukluks.
DAMN JT You NEVER Complain and give up that Easy You used to stick it out No matter what Awesome Video Becareful out on the Roads with all the Snow and COLD
Jawtooth it could be worse , think about the switchman out there shoveling the switches out then standing around, good job ,Intrepid explorer, thanks for helping me pass the time. Pack Thermos of hot Cocoa.
11:15 "You can't really wear gloves while you're doing this." I find that "glittens" are really good for photography. Stupid name but they're basically a fingerless glove with a mitten-like pocket that you can either cover your fingers with or fold it back out of the way. When I use my camera in the snow, I find I can just poke a couple of fingertips out of the mitten and everything else stays warm. Bet that'd wrk with a phone, too. You can also get gloves with conductive pads on the fingertips that are supposed to work touch screens, but the one pair of those I had never really worked.
Couple of observations here. First, with the shot of the three diesels in the snow, at 3:50, my mind went straight to the opening scenes of RUNAWAY TRAIN. I was half expecting to see the engineer have a heart attack and fall off the engine. Secondly, when you panned over the bike path at 6:10, something about the yellow sign peaked my curiosity. Couldn't quite read it from your video, so I went to Google Earth. On Street View, could read it just fine: BLAST AREA - STAY ON PATH! There was a similar sign at the next road, over 2 miles away. Couldn't see anything by the path but farm fields, so I must ask the question: Are they growing that super hard corn that requires dynamite to harvest it? (Still love your videos!)
i dont know whats crazier, trains being operated in the snow, despite being well built, or the fact that there is snow as far south as Texas, also colder than Alaska in some parts of Texas as of my comment. God Bless Texans right now

Hi JT, those switch men earn their money, lots of shoveling involved to clear the switches. Thanks for posting, great video. Keep warm. Edward

Many thanks!
Great video Jawtooth! It's great your getting out in the cold and snow and filming this for us, its greatly appreciated! Thanks!
19:47 That's a really awesome photograph with all the snow blowing off the cars.
Brian, in all the years that I have watched your videos that is the longest train I have ever seen in this Tri state area.
Thanks for being out in the cold. I live 28 miles north of Dallas and for about 13 hours we hit 0° f with a wind chill of -18° f. You going out in the cold to encourage my day is very appreciated. Thanks, brother!
I think seeing the whole train one way is good enough..don't lose sleep over it! Laughs!
Thanks JT, looks like you found where CSX stores all their grain cars!
Not all of them
The short lines are the ones that are interesting and need our support. Freezing cold day, yet there’s Jaw Tooth freezing his fingers off to get us a good video. Dedication, Thy name is Jaw Tooth.
Love the sound of EMD sd40-2's switching in the snow ❄
scott olson yep, can't beat the sound of a 2 stroke 645👍🏼
Great video that give new meaning to the phrase, 'but wait, there's more!' After all that, a hot cup of coffee is a must! Thanks for braving the cold. Keep that video rolling!
Glad you liked it!
I love those back porches on the geeps.

This is one of my favorites filmed by you. It was so funny, when those hoppers kept coming, with no end in sight. I also like to see, older locomotives being used, in place of those newer higher powered units. Thank you.
I have driven in worse snow than at your opening shot, but NEVER just to see trains!
Man that's a pretty good cut of covered hoppers to be pulled

You gotta get yourself a tripod! Great video! 👍🏻🇺🇸
I do have one. Its in my truck but I don't like to use them. I used it once and I might use it every once in a while.
Jaw Tooth working hard for us
Good video cute puppy
Excellent Coverage. 👌👌🇮🇳
Awesome video, be safe driving in the snow.
Thank you, I will
Jawtooth it could be worse , think about the switchman out there shoveling the switches out then standing around, good job ,Intrepid explorer, thanks for helping me pass the time. Pack Thermos of hot Cocoa.
Thanks 👍
Great catches!!!
J T snow and train for me like Christmas 🎄
"That poor truck had to sit there, waiting this whole time." SO DID YOU!

Thank you very much!
This is a massive huge grain train

Really appreciate you getting out there! Maybe you could get Shoestring to get you some of those hand warmers he uses! 😊
Good idea!! I might have to look into that. This year is the second most snow ever in this part of the state
lool buddy, you got a monster train, right.. (= Luv your channel. Hugs from Brazil!
Thats some Cold Action Son !
That camcorder has enviable sharpness and detail on my TV and it's only HD!
JT, I lost count! I should send you heated gloves!!!! Good job!
I can recommend an awesome pair of winter gloves to help you out with your awesome videos. I work outside year round.
JawTooth: Thank you, sir!
Can you get a pair of knit gloves with the Fingertips cut off? I flew RC Planes that way in the cold.
That is one long train.I think I just saw the tail end in Jersey.
There you are again without your coat zipped up LOL

i dont know whats crazier, trains being operated in the snow, despite being well built, or the fact that there is snow as far south as Texas, also colder than Alaska in some parts of Texas as of my comment. God Bless Texans right now
