Local Freight Switcher Passing Old Signals Still In Use! Columbus Ohio Trains, Late Crossing Gates!

Рет қаралды 28,906

4 жыл бұрын

CSX local freight arriving to switch a railroad customer on an industrial railway spur in Columbus, Ohio. The railway crossing gates malfunctioned slightly. Next we see a very old historical railroad line side signal that is still in use on the CSX mainline. Then we see some Norfolk Southern mixed freight trains at the Cooke Rd level railroad crossing. The local switcher that I filmed entering the brewery customer is the same train returning past the signals. I was able to show the colors change from red to yellow to green and then the signals shut off completely. Those type signals are now becoming rare since most signals are being replaced with Safe Tran signals nationally. This video was filmed just north of downtown Columbus, Ohio just off I-71 in the Worthington area. I stayed nearby at the Motel 6 on Sinclair Rd that has an excellent view of these 3 tracks from the rooms. I stay here once a year to attend 18 hours of CEUs to keep my government license active in case I ever want to come out of retirement and work in Ohio. The Old Cooke Rd location is very popular with the local railfans and there is a hobby shop nearby called The Train Station on Indianola Ave. They really do have some awesome HO scale model trains and accessories!

@bekleidungu.ausrustung7068 4 жыл бұрын

Loved those old working signals. Over the past few years Norfolk Southern and CSX have been replacing block signals that have stood for several decades with modern signals that all look alike. Many of these older signals featured designs that associated them with a previous owner/operator of the rail line in question. For example, the Pennsylvania Railroad and Baltimore & Ohio each had distinctive position light signals that immediately said “Pennsy” or “B&O” on their respective territories.

Good news Jaw Tooth you can still find those G-type signals all the way up the Big4 from Columbus to Berea and on the Pennsylvania in mansfield and Crestline, and also up the Toledo line and Youngstown line. You want rare signals you need to look for the old Pennsylvania position signals, the ft wayne line some still, between CP ORR and mp140, CP MOHICAN and CP CREST, also the River line down around E.Liverpool.

Hi Jaw Tooth. Interesting selection of freight wagons. It always looks so precarious when containers are stacked one on top of another on the train, especially when the smaller container is stacked under the larger one. This is something that you would never see here in the UK as it would never fit under the bridges and in the tunnels

There's some old searchlight signals still in use on the BNSF and CP in spots yet. There might even be some Grizwalds still in use too in the Twin Cities. But there's only 1 crossing I can think of that still has a good mechanical bell on it yet on a class 1 line.
