I said "I've seen way worse

The rails will tend to flex with the heavily loaded trains. The important thing is that the rails stay within guage which they appear to do

All railway tracks go slightly down and up as the vehicles’ wheels roll over them. The ballast (crushed rock) provides a small amount of cushioning. If the rails were clamped to heavy concrete footings the impact of the wheels on the rails would be multiplied.

@@algrayson8965 germany uses a concrete roadbed for their high speed rail lines

@@therosijedha yeah, but an HST is generally no more than 10 cars, and it's not carrying 80t + per car. Much different forces at work.

@@DoughboyPathyUSA Concrete ties are used in America!

typical RF goon..there is absolutely zero issues with the rail moving/flexing hence why csx isn't losing any sleep. yes the castings need to be replaced. big deal they will be in time...

Probably called his city council the mayor and CSX multiple times. Unless there was a joint there no big deal the flex

Why?

That crossing needs to be worked. Ties are gone. Needs a proper drainage. CSX has plans to work it.

Well as an electrician with absolutely zero rr experience or knowledge, says ya better fix it fast or millions will die. Bit to much ? 😂 thats it im writing a letter

Hogger4U I’m a retired UP hoghead at New Orleans. Are you a working or retired hogger? Is so for who? If you don’t mind.

@@oldhoghead5601 ok, Either of you guys can answer... I know who the term Hogger refers to.. but WHERE did it come from originally?

@@oldhoghead5601 - Wood ties are much less expensive than concrete ties. They last for decades.

@@Luckyrider1958 Steam locomotives were called “hogs.” A driver (USA: “engineer”) of a steamer was this called a “hogger.” A locomotive driver who shunted cars and trains in marshalling (USA: “switch” or “switching”) yards or only moved locomotives around shops and fueling stations was a “hostler.”

@@algrayson8965 thanks

My thoughts exactly

Those pads of cement between the tracks

Just the traffic pads, but not the rails.

@@CraigPetty555 yup those cement pads

the concrete that forms the crossing is what is loose. The concrete could really damage a car if you went over this too fast.

@@tazz378 I know then if a car slows down to much one behind them might ram into them

Used to the the 5'3" track the other one 4'8.5" and is fine. both are owned by Vic but only the ex 5'3" is maintained by Vic.

I agree, if there was a big problem they would be running at restricted speed.

@@glenndavis522 did you not read the description there is a speed restriction

Cory Hoover That train was running 30 to 35 MPH. So that crossing can’t be very bad, track wise.

Restricted speed is a speed not exceeding 10 mph ! That's from the rule book. Was it going that slow?

Foamer

Saw it near the end of the train, where the cars had higher clearance.

You just took the words right out of my mouth! LOL

Yes America is going to shit all over.

Proud yours is worse eh, easy to see why the country is disegentrating.

Agreed, Jaw Tooth. You have an awesome channel! I watch you and Hobo Shoestring all the time.

Thank you for your service.

@@tylers6679 That isn't Jaw Tooth tap on his display photo and you'll see.

what 4 inches movement ,is that your wee brain size .try slowing your video down then you will see it ,danger waiting to happen ,sooner not later

I saw the excessive rail dip at the midsection of the road crossing, not good.....

Yeah did you see where it says limit 3 stack high? Meanwhile on ships. 10-15 high

Couldn’t be a more 2021 scene: Amazon taking over everything, terrible infrastructure condition on a major freight railroad, same motive power everywhere.

You just noticed them now? I think they been around for awhile.

@@lostsomewhereinhere 53 foot containers are domestic use only. Which means they aren't sea going! They don't go on ships. Only containers that are sea cans are 20, 40, 45(?) and 48!

@@ecoRfan That's why I never buy from Amazon.

No its lifted up more

It's all been converted into bike trails

CSX River Sub which runs between Selkirk, NY and Northern NJ.....Signaled line.

Signals are visible in the video, the interesting thing is that they are placed on the Conductor side of the track instead of the Engineer side on single track line. But that is not a big deal even if the RR’s go to one man crews. I am against that, too many jobs lost and you have DPU’s and two mile long trains and you need a conductor imo. The rail looks at least 130 lb. and is in pretty good shape but I have never worked as a track inspector or anything although for several years my neighbor was one. He did complain that he was strongly discouraged from closing down a track and deferring maintenance to save money. This was many years ago though, not truly current information. Two weeks ago I saw a intermodal stopped at a red light at just after noon, came back by there at 3:10 and it was still stopped. Then I saw the white and yellow track maintenance equipment further down the line. This is a mainline with 14-17 trains per 24 hours so that crew and others must have been hugely frustrated as their 12 hours ticked away and they never moved an inch closer to the home/away terminal. Not fun waiting for a transit van to try and find you when you time out many miles from the crew change point.

Come on over

@@billforse6540 sorry. I'm 14 jears old ☹️😢😂

Because they just don't care a darn only when someone dies they might give darn . I so tired of these big companies crying the blues They just don't want waste the money !

County or state road maintenance is not responsible for the RR crossing panels. That job is the sole responsibility of the RR MOW department.

They arent doing any better in Michigan. It's a Democrat hellhole. The roads are terrible even after they try to fix them. Back roads are a washed-out disaster in most counties under Gov. Gretchen WHitler.

I don't know why the bells stopped but the lights didn't. Those are the new LED lights and that was an interaction between the lights and the camera sensor. Welcome to the world of digital.

Being on same plane of the gate and down the track a little bit, instead of being by the road, isn't a good decision on this guy either.

Huh? The tracks are fine. It's the concrete pads beside the rails that's wasted. Obviously, CXS has prepared the new track segment. I would suggest that the New York State DOT is holding up the repair, not CSX. Observe and think a little before making ignorant comments.

Yes CSX has plans to rework the crossing. They have the panel built to put in. They cant just close down a crossing. The ties under the concrete are shot. You can see the mud spot on the edge of the crossing.

Thank you

JSYK, the whole crossing has been replaced by CSX

A Sheriff car comes across the tracks at 6:40. Then right before the train comes across the crossing, he is answering him.

Thank you for your comment, yes it was very bad for months but has now been completely rebuilt.i posted a video of the results

@@hudsonvalleyrailandriverandair i saw that video after making my comment. there needs to be a phone number at every crossing so people can report issues like that or if a car gets stuck for a reason. it would be faster and safer then calling 911 and waiting 20 minutes for them while the next train comes thru.

My sentiment also. "The train is coming. The train is getting closer. I'm rail fanning" and all we see is the gate. Then here is the train.

haha. They'd have to buy one of the existing railroads for that... Might I suggest BNSF? We could use a better color scheme than ORANGE! :)

With how big a corporation Amazon is, it wouldn't surprise me in the least if they started building locomotives and buying railroads.

Or a snow plow
