While chasing a Q316 down from Grafton, WV on the CSX Mountain Subdivision, one of the units caught fire and it made for a pretty cool video.

Ahh, Keyser WV. I recall passing through there in 12/77 on Amtrak heading for Clarksburg. The Keyser yard had locos in C&O and B&O paint. Westvaco had a huge operation north and west of there. That's gone, too, and it looks like the land has been remediated.

@andywomack3414 2 жыл бұрын

Did the town that depended on that plant get remediated as well? I am familiar with that US 50 corridor, which happens to run near the B&O line that eventually ended in E.St. Louis. My parents were from Portsmouth, Ohio, my father ran locomotives for the B&O, and we could ride the train for free from Baltimore to Chillicothe, Ohio. During one of those trips, as we were climbing out of Cumberland, Md., in one of the many curves, my father said, "Look, you will probably never see this again." There was a steam locomotive, helping to push the train to the top of the hill.

I know it's illegal to utilize a ham radio to key up on AAR frequencies, but honestly, cases like this where a conductor may not know that there is something wrong, keying up to let them know of an engine or car being on fire, throwing sparks, leaking fluids, or otherwise losing expensive cargo should be a commendable action.

@Junkinsally Жыл бұрын

I was thinking the same thing! Railfans need a way to let them know if they spot something wrong. Because they may or may not know.

Some. If they wanted to they could all be running, but they would never want to do that. When it's so many together they are being moved. Also it's too small or short of a train. Even if it was a long and heavy train they would distribute the power to the middle and/or end, not just the front.

@tomy6917 3 жыл бұрын

For the right side crossing, Digital video recording devices & live cams when viewing crossing lights that are L.E.D types have a hard time keeping up with flashing because the high intensity L.E.D's also flash at a high rate of speed too. So, it will appear the red crossing lights fade out & then slowly regain their brightness. If you were to view cars having L.E.D headlights, the headlights would appear to be flashing rapidly, too fast for the human eye to see. Depending on the outdoor light level, the crossing's L.E.D red flashers will appear to be a pale yellow or white. They use a bunch of high brightness white light L.E.D's behind a red lens. They're rapidly flashed to keep them from burning out. The left side crossing is still using the older incandescent light bulbs.

The train was coming down a grade using the automatic air brake, eventually the brake shoes on the old GE locomotives heated up and caught fire, which is a fairly common occurrence on mountain grades. We were chasing that train for its assortment of power, we did not expect it to do this.

At least he cleared the crossing before stopping. Love these videos. The videographer standing next to the track on the first segment was too close and not always looking in the direction from which the train was travailing. Some of those locomotives appeared to be headed for the deadline. As an aside, many rail-fan videos will will show the rail-fan giving rides to train-crews in the performance of their duties. I strongly recommend against providing a free taxi service in order to aide in the operation of a multi-billion dollar corporation. If the rail company wants their crews to use automotive transport they should pay for that transport. By offering that service for free, an opportunity for paid gainful employment is denied someone else, and you are placing yourself and that crew at risk should you have an accident while doing so. You might even be in violation of your auto insurance contract.
