This is a video I shot over two days at the yards.
I was hoping to catch a few trains doubling out and leaving the yards but it was not meant to be.
I did see a newly rebuilt Amtrak yard locomotive.
We also catch plenty of yard movements.
There is also a sped up version you can check out.
I hope you enjoy and as always, let me know what you think.

Fascinating,the most interesting series by far.The sped up action beats the mindless roll by action and the radio chatter is the cherry on top.

I like the accelerated video - I get to see everything and it doesn’t take as much time to watch. Thanks.

I love watching yard and switching work. I understand that the initial sort from the hump could be rough and additional sort will be needed to make up a train. It would be nice to see the final makeup of a train on the outlet end of the start to finish.

Confusing at first, at least until you start understanding who is who and who’s on second but who is on first. Thanks for sharing, I have enjoyed the multi-multitasking 👍👍🏻👍🏼👍🏽👍🏾👍🏿

I love watching the yards! There are so many different things going on at the same time. Organized chaos.

@nkyrailfan Жыл бұрын

I agree 💯 It is incredible how many movements are going on at once and even more incredible how they keep track of it all

Watching videos on a 4K TV really makes the drone footage pop

I'm hopeful to start putting out 4K versions of the videos, so you'll be able to really enjoy them and all the details.

I love watching trains go by and I actually lived behind a train yard, but never saw how a train yard would work. It amazes me how some of those car’s rolling through the yard without a locomotive helping it

Highly recommend the Station Square Sheraton in Pittsburgh. I would stay on the 10th floor facing east, then the concierge lounge faces west. Nonstop NS & CSX.

Hey Terry, glad you enjoyed it. There certainly is a lot to enjoy (and keep track of) in a yard.

We were there last week. Stopped at NS on Gest and took picture of the old display caboose by yard master tower. Then sat by the fence off Mill Creek by CSX. Lots of fun. Drone shows what you get see on the ground level

@supercuda1950 Жыл бұрын

It sure would be nice if CSX would make a space on top of the tower where we could railfan from, but then I guess I'll have to quit smokin' my medical maijuana while watching these excellent videos. Just a thought.

Thanks for the video, it was well worth the watch. For many years I drove over this yard twice a day and never had a chance to see what really goes on. Always amazed how yards this size function. As far as volume of traffic do you know where Queensgate rates compared to other yards?

@nkyrailfan Жыл бұрын

Hey Don, I'm really happy to hear you enjoyed the video. According to this, CSX says Queensgate is its sixth busiest yard: www.csx.com/index.cfm/about-us/company-overview/network-and-operations/ Here is a previous video I did in which I talk about its history. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n7B4gLhovc3XqmQ.html

Next video complex operating procedures....... this one has simple sorting on different tracks... what about too and fro rearrangements of many into other many in order.

Thanks for the suggestion. I actually have a PA Railfan trip planned. I'm going to start at Conway Yard, head to Horseshoe Curve. Then on to Altoona and then Enola. I'm hoping to make the trip this spring.

Congratulations on the offer to be a freight conductor. That's awesome! Thanks for subscribing. I am planning on checking out the Amtrak facility in Wilmington. I'm just not sure when. Let me know if there's anything else nearby I should see.

@@nkyrailfan Thankyou! I appreciate the content you give us to enjoy. I'll be sure to let you know, keep you updated. I know there's a CSX yard just a few miles south of Amtrak. I missed an opportunity as a track worker there, but I can say I'm more excited about becoming a Conductor.
