LaMarcus Ballinstone I second that comment.

Only a matter of time before someone gets hit in the quiet zone. It's just not a good thing

Are there signs at the crossings (for motorists that is) indicating that it's a quiet zone?

onesandzeros yes and a lot of them

Several cities in Florida found out about 'no horns' ordinances went into effect and operation the crossing accidents went up. This is history.

"Well, that ain't no good..."

phillyslasher MEGA OOF

He's been doing TV and radio voiceovers for more than 20 years. He does have a wonderful voice.

@ Danny Triplett : Nice complement!

There are train videos and train videos ... These give you context. Makes it 1,000% more interesting.

The amazing light in that shot makes them look even better! (5:00)

Ya I mean that is y we have the GP locos

Yeah, but tiptoe in there and roll a rail over and you know darn well who they'll be looking to for an answer as to why it happened. "How many other locomotives were in there before with no problems?" That happened in the town I live in last fall. It's a really tight curve to get loads of lumber in to one customer and finally after decades of neglect, one rail rolled off the tie plates which were sitting on rotten old ties with too few spikes... To be fair, they only ever send 4-axle locos to do that work, but they just never want to invest any time or money in the spur track. So after having 2 locos out of commission for a night and half the next day, they finally sent a crew in to bolster things back together and spend a little time on giving the curve a little tlc, but it's still a tiptoe operation into and out of that spur. Another spur off the other way is so precarious and ancient that a decade ago they forbade a work set from going in. They have to separate the locos and use only one loco to shove hoppers of plastic pellets in to that customer. That makes for some interesting operations because it's a slight uphill going in there, and depending on which rundown set of junk the crew draws for the job, one loco sometimes isn't enough to push an entire string of hoppers in the spur all the way, so they have to split the string and make a few runs. Damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you-don't sort of a situation.

@@stanpatterson5033 I mean if the crew rolls a rail, it's the crew's fault internally but then the customer is responsible for maintaining the track, not the carrier so in that regard there's no loss on CSX's behalf. Hell it might even be their plan; eliminating a crew and a carload-only customer! Win-win for CSX corporate... 😒

Yeah, but how else can you test out those new radial trucks in real world situations? Aren't they supposed to be able to handle this?

Just because something is "supposed to be able to do it" doesn't mean it's a wide-open license to just go ahead and do it. There are sometimes other limitations, too. Lighter rail, poor ties and maintenance in the area, questionable gauge.... Not saying that this is the case in this example in the video, but....

Great video. Hard to believe CSX is using those NEW EMD'S as switchers. And you got the perfect voice for narration.

Real Canadian Railfan its the same with pilots... oh the smell of burn jet fuel in the morning!!!

Thomas Teague I LOVE the smell of jet fuel, but a diesel loco pushing it in run 8 smell pretty good.

@@railvideosbc we'll get along amazingly if we get the chance to railfan together!

Real Canadian Railfan haha yes we will! 😂

We say long hood in Canada probably same in states

John Lanham CSX 9000, C40-9W

Many times railfanning I've heard running long hood forward as "Steam-Engining."

I've always heard it as running long hood forward.

John Lanham Yes LHF

Yeah, cut to size for the template.

Yep

@phillyslasher I know I'm just saying what the company is thinking haha

Roanoke District Railfan *Dash 9-40CW. They started out as Dash 8-44CW’s but were later upgraded to dash 9 electronics and derated. They were pretty much GE’s test bed for the dash 9.

Even though ten months later, this comment is accurate

Diesel huffer 😂😂😂

Me to sir love it

For the love of diesel smoke me too!

Same I also love it

My buddy works for NS as engineer for 12 yrs. PSR is horrible and will put many outa work. Hes talked me outa of applying. Way to inpredictable. Bummer.

@@3006USMC I would not recommend anyone to work with any class one railroads

Jason King 🙁

Dusty is that place still open who services it if it is I think Hartford and slocomb use too

My son just moved to Dothan AL. A few months ago. I hear it’s a nice place.

@@chriswoodruff2293 it's not a bad place. Close to the beaches, good fishing in the area and hunting

@@jasonking2943 The Genesee&Wyoming owned (Bay Line) services it now. They have an interchange with CSX in Dothan I believe.

@@chriswoodruff2293 it is. There's plenty of stuff to do and even tho it's a decent sized small City it still has that country vibe to it.

It's already being made. It's called DEF (Diesel exhaust fluid) Gitcha' some today at your local truckstop!

Eau de Diesel, or Moonlight of the Rails?

Your wife or girlfriend might have some input on that. "99% of the time, it works never."

👍🏽👍🏽😂Right??? 🥰Train’s & Truck’s🥰

That's true, but not on the level it is around here now. These were formerly seen Monday thru Friday.

Ha! That's funny, Ken! I've done saveral of those lately and that's EXACTLY what they are; CLIP SHOWS! I think I'll use that term for them henceforth. :-))

Lol Dude Thats Funny

CSX RF&P Guy cant wait for the EMDs to run the RF&P and Rivanna

Anthony's Trains I agree!

Same

I got a chuckle from that as well. I think that has happened to all of us at one time or another. Another one is a full memory card. Don't ask me how I know, LOL.

It's not the weight. It's the turnout radius. 6 axles cannot take as tight a turnout as 4 axles.
